Very good stay. Property was neat, clean, with several extras. Washer and dryer were a blessing. Glad to have full size fridge and oven and microwave. Beach toys and accessories available were wondeful. Great place!

Even to the smallest detail Melanie had this condo family ready! There was very little out of pocket "living expenses" to make this a week worth of living ready. The pictures did no justice! It was the perfect oasis for our days of adventure! It was driving distance to everything...if adventurous island living is what you are there for...or if you just want a quiet stay at the beach with all the amenities, then this is all you need.
I wish I could say enough, but I can't. The pool, the mango trees, the fully equipped kitchen, bathroom. Laundry room, patio...the guidebooks were even marked! Even with our family of six packed in it was worth it! We would stay here over and over if it is possible!

The unit was very clean and well appointed!
Our visit was in late March, so the weather was nice enough that we didn't need to run the A/C. The beds and pull out were all quite comfortable. The lanai was great to hang out and the mirror allowed you see the beach while inside the unit.
The location was fantastic ... easy walk to so many things! A block away from coffee, grocery store and a strip mall with lots of shops & places to eat. Our favorite was Nalu's which had delicious food and the best Mai Tai's. The beach was also half a block away and very quick to enjoy the sunrise/sunset.
Communication with Melanie was detailed and prompt!

Property was clean, well stocked, and in a central area of the island which allowed for convenient sightseeing. Loved the proximity to the beach. Grocery store only a block away and many restaurants close by. Would not hesitate staying in this location again.

Pics don’t do the condo justice. Roomy and very well supplied kitchen. Minutes from a great beach and you can watch the sunset from the lanai.

Lovely Condon as advertised just steps from the beach. You can see the water from the lanai.
Nearby shops and restaurants which was great as we did not have a car. Lots of young families with kids. If wanting quiet time by water I would suggest the beach. Condo was well equipped with beach amenities as well as the kitchen with cookery and dishes.
Overall a great spot.

Melanie's Kihei apartment exceeded our expectations. Spotlessly clean, perfectly equipped, and ideally located. The beach, perfect for families, was steps away. The community was welcoming, the kitchen almost a chef's delight. We highly recommend it! 5 stars!

We had the best experience at Melanie’s place. It was close to a bunch of restaurants we wanted to try, and one block from Akamai’s coffee that we loved, and just off the best kept secret beach. The beach behind the condo is really one of the best I’ve been to - calm water, shallow enough to walk out into the water for a bit, usually quiet and not full of tourists, and the best place to watch sunset every night. The condo is very well kept and Melanie was so quick in answering all my questions before the trip.

We enjoyed every day we spent at this Condo. The layout,location and space was just perfect for our adult family vacation. This is without a doubt one of the most well equipped vacation homes we have stayed at. Loved the care and attention to details like all the labeling of drawers and shelves where things went.The owners were promptly and pleasantly responsive to every question we had in our communications with them . Everything was clean and just as advertised on VRBO. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone, and we would look forward to returning here some day . Mahalo for sharing this property with us

We really enjoyed the condo and location in Kihei. It was very clean, had a washer and dryer which worked great as we only pack carry on bags to prevent hassles with luggage. The kitchen worked out really well, we made our own breakfasts and lunches. My mother in law came along and the condo was well layed out for her, the pool and the beach was super close and easy to access. We had a great time watching sunsets at the beach, snorkeling with turtles and fish at makena landing, going to the aqauarium and so on. Great place to stay and access the island. I recommend staying here as it had all the amenities. Mahalo!

This condo is perfect for a Maui vacation. Lots to eat in walking distance. Steps away from the beach with all beach equipment needed. Owner has excellent communication & you can’t find anything better for the value. We’ll definitely be back!
August 2023
We island hopped from Oahu, our home to Maui. The condo is located in Kihei across the street from the beach and walking distance to Times Supermarket. The condo grounds were very clean. Condo has full kitchen and everything seemed to work well. Parking is great. Check-in and check-out was easy and communication with landlord was consistent. Recommend this condo if you want to stay away from the real touristy areas (Lahaina/Kaanapali/Wailea).

The condo is clean and has an easy access. It is close to the beach, you can even see the sea from the balcony. The owner is very responsive. The condo has a lot of beach accessories: beach chairs, sun umbrella, sand toys, etc. There is a lot of dishes that makes it easy to cook. There is 3 coolers to use for the beach with ice pack as well. There is a nice pool with a common kitchen and BBQ to share with others. We loved our stay. I highly recommend this condo!

We had a wonderful stay.! The condo was perfectly located across a small street to the beach. You can see both the beach and Haleakala from the deck. The condo was clean and stocked with basic necessities as well as beach chairs, towels, and toys. Great location in Kihei with walking distance to a grocery store, and restaurants. We would rent here again!

This condo is just a block from a great beach. Lots of good restaurants are walking distance (Miso Phat has excellent sushi) and it is a short drive to other beaches and towns like Wailea. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. It was a great stay.
Tracy S.
February 2023
We had an awesome stay at this condo. The condo itself, the complex and the location were all amazing. Beach literally across the street, grocery store and restaurants within a block, felt safe in the area, everyone around the complex and in the area very friendly, walked a few blocks to rent a car for a few days and convenient pickup location for shuttle drivers and tour companies.
The condo is very modern and welcoming and has everything you could possibly need including supplies for the beach and day trips.
The owner was great to deal with and very organized making the booking, checking in and checking out processes very easy.
I would highly recommend booking this property.

This property was perfect for our visit to Maui. Kitchen is stocked very well. Plenty of towels for both bathrooms. Comfortable beds (2 queen and one fold out couch). 1 block to the sandy beach where we saw whales and plenty of cool fish. Couple blocks from groceries, restaurants and shopping. The loft was the best part of the condo. And I cannot begin to explain the appreciation for the beach gear. Beach towels, pool noodles, beach chairs, coolers and more. Thank you!

This place was right by a beautiful sandy beach. Had everything we needed to have a fun day at the beach. Would stay at thus location again.
December 2022
Having stayed in Ka'anapali in past years, we chose Kihei for a change of pace. It far exceeded our expectations. The condo location was perfect with free parking. We were steps from the beach and witnessed beautiful nightly sunsets from the lanai. The condo was beautifully decorated, well organized and had every amenity one could possibly need including washer and dryer. The owner and property manager rolled out the red carpet for us. We much prefer escaping the hustle bustle of expensive resort life of Ka'anapali now that Kihei Garden Estates is our new-found gem. We can't wait to return!

Would definitely recommend it to my friends and family!!
I loved the location of the property. It was right by the beach. The place was very well maintained, and had all the basic supplies one might need when staying with family.
We loved having the kitchen as we were travelling with parents and needed home cooked meals every now and then.
Although we were only a party of 3, it was worth the money as we got the second bedroom and bathroom.

This property had everything we could possibly need during our stay in Maui. A cozy feel, provided beach gear from chairs, pool noodles, to beach toys and boogie boards, a close proximity to various beaches and even access to a relaxing pool and jacuzzi, various kitchenware for all your cooking and baking needs, and much more. Our family was able to experience much convenience as the property was able to provide so many necessary items and amenities from board games, an ironing board, an amazingly convenient washer and drying (!!), and much storage for clothes as well as various bathroom nicknacks you may need. The people who live in the neighboring estates were also friendly and we loved that the property was only a short stroll away from a close supermarket filled with all your possibly needed groceries and a variety of fun snacks. Luckily for us, we were able to stay during the mango season and the highlight of our entire trip was being able to pick fallen ripe mangos just outside the property (they were very delicious and an excitement to look for when the wind hit). All in all, our stay here has been nothing but wonderful, comfortable, convenient, and memorable. I would fully recommend this property to anyone staying in the beautiful island of Maui.

We recently stayed at this cute condo for a week long Maui vacation. We were a party of 6 (2 adults and 4 teenagers). The teens loved having the loft area to themselves and would rotate who slept on the pull-sofa bed downstairs in the evening. This was a prime sleeping location because it was next to the air conditioner. The condo has a wonderful breeze and all the rooms have ceiling fans. We would keep all the windows, front door (there's a screen door that locks), and balcony open during the day for the breeze. We only ran the a/c at night for a few hours bring the condo down to a cooler temp to begin with in the morning. All the doors have a cool magnet door stop which keeps the doors open and prevents them from slamming in the wind. You can see the ocean from the balcony and parking was not an issue, either on the street, which was closer to the condo, or in the parking a lot (just a little further). You are far enough away from the pool to not be disturbed by the sounds of kids playing or adults chatting. The best part, is the ocean is less than a half-block away. Out the door, across the street and then you're on sand. Say hi to the chickens along the way. They provided the essentials and fun items, such as beach activity gear, board games and books. The washer and dryer were very convenient to have as well. It felt like we found a hidden gem. The communication was great from the very beginning all the way to our last day. Very thorough and professional. Everything was very common sense. Would definitely stay here again!

Quick and straightforward communication with the owner and the island representative. The unit was well-organized, with instructions and labels posted throughout. Everything for a comfortable stay was provided in the condo. The fridge worked well. They had coolers, beach toys, etc. for use. The beach and stores were within walking distance. There was a great view of the beach from the lanai. It was a calm neighborhood.

We were very pleased with the property and the owner was very responsive when we had a slight issue during check in (accidently had a typo on the door lock code and she was able to resolve it in about 20 minutes).
The location is perfect - a block from the beach and right next to a grocery store which was helpful. The condo was clean and provided everything we needed including beach chairs. The condo is a two story unit, with a bedroom and living room with sleep sofa on the first floor. The second floor has a loft bedroom which is the only "drawback" because sound from the lower level and/or loft bedroom carries to the rest of the unit.
Overall very pleased and will happily come back when/if we every return to Maui!

Location was good. Communication with owner was excellent! Everything was as described. I run hot so oscillating fan was much needed and appreciated. Condo was well stocked. Note that there are stairs to go up to the unit, and another set for upstairs bedroom & bathroom. Upstairs mattress was very good, as was the sofa bed. Need blackout curtains for living room. Had a wonderful stay. Would definitely pick this place again!

The property owner is amazing. We could not make our travel and she accommodated rescheduling on short notice. Communications were prompt and precise.
The nearby beach is beautiful, and we came across multiple turtles on the beach. The grocery store is right next door and food choices nearby were great. There are quite a few homeless individuals in the area, but they posed no issues. The three beds were awesome for a larger family.
Overall it was a wonderful stay!

What a great stay we had! To begin with, the communication was great with the host. There was a complete set of detailed instructions for checking in. Location was great with the beach about a two minute walk away, stores and food very close, and plenty of parking even when arriving back late at night. Pool and hot tub were great. Loved the decor and the linens were nice quality. The beds (including the sofa bed) were amazing. It was stocked with everything one would need with extras like foil, Tupperware, coolers, and ice packs, along with many other extras. Great place! You will not be disappointed!

Our first trip to Maui and it was unforgettable! From booking the stay to checking in and enjoying all the carefully planned details in the condo. I am a organization nut and to my pleasant surprise this place screamed organization! Everything was neatly labeled and accessible and clean. We didn’t have small children with us but anything you need to keep them entertained was available. Walking distance to the grocery store and washer and dryer in the condo were some major pluses for us but ultimately what we enjoyed the most was taking the provided beach chairs on the very short walk to the beach to was the sunsets. Talk about paradise. Thank you Melanie and Sherie for your excellent communication and for insuring we had all we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Melanie’s place was such a delight! She is also such an awesome host who made sure we were okay with our rental prior to our arrival, and I really appreciate that. We loved everything about her place. It was a three minute walk away from the beach and very short walking distance to the plaza. The place was very clean and spacious and we had no trouble at all finding it or checking in. We would absolutely love to stay here again. Mahalo nui loa Melanie!!

When booking this property, the ocean view from the lanai, short walk to the beach, condo amenities (2 Bd AND 2 Bath plus full-size W/D, full kitchen), nearby shopping and restaurants was everything we were looking for...now that we have stayed, we were impressed by all of this and more! We met friendly people in the small residential complex, loved the convenient location for travel around the island, and were relaxed and comfortable in the well-equipped and nicely decorated condo (very accurate photos in the listing). Melanie answered many questions and gave recommendations that helped us plan our special family vacation--she and Dale are wonderful owners. Mahalo!

My husband and I have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals, and this condo is one of the best! It was very well organized and clean, and had everything we wanted. We especially appreciated all of the extras for our 2-year-old (pack n play, 2 different high chairs, kids' books, beach toys, and more)! We spent much of our time (and all of our meals) on the lanai, and in late January, we were able to watch whales with our binoculars every day.
The location was perfect for us. We loved being so close to the beach and to the grocery store, and it was a nice central location to see all of the places we wanted to visit across the island. I highly recommend booking this condo! Thank you, Melanie!

Will definitely be booking this one again.

Melanie ‘s place was beyond our expectations. A bright and tastefully decorated condo with local flare. A well stocked kitchen as well. Upstairs a generous loft bedroom. On the main floor, a lovely big Lanai with two sitting areas with views of both the ocean and the volcano mountain. There were a pineapple and some cookies awaiting us as well! How thoughtful and delicious!
We enjoyed the condo complex and used the BBQ a few times which also gave us a chance to meet other people. There was even a hot tub by the pool which is not always the case at these places. The proximity to a lovely beach that’s not built up with condo high rises was such a plus! We felt so fortunate to have found this place. Plus communications with Melanie were swift and easy.
Truly a gem of a place!

This is a nice place to stay. Great location for getting around the whole island. Quiet neighborhood. Clean inside and nicely decorated. It was so helpful to have laundry facilities inside the condo. The beach is close by and turned out to be one of our favorites for watching the sunset. Not overcrowded. The condo has several beach toys, chairs, boogie boards and coolers which we used often. A lovely, reasonably priced place to stay in Maui. Mahalo, Melanie! We would definitely come back.
