We had a lovely experience at our stay in the Sunset Condo's. The furnishings were very nice, our host Arlene was very helpful on the phone prior to our visit. She provided some yummy fruit, bottled water and snacks for our arrival.
It was a perfect place for the 2 of us. Bedding and towels were very nice. I am pretty particular about bathrooms, both bathrooms were very clean. Arlene had many beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, noodles, toys, etc) There was an ocean view and the lani looked over beautiful grass and flowers. Pool was clean and lots of loungers. Easy walk to the beach. We were a little disappointed with the type of beach, the tide came in very close to the land so there wasn't a lot of beach area. Also the beach was more rocky than sandy. It was fine for us to walk on, but wouldn't recommend for small children to play in the surf.
For 2 people, I would highly recommend Arlene's condo.
Thank you for a wonderful visit.

My favorite part of this condo is the phenomenal views of both the mountain at sunrise and the ocean for sunset every day. The bed and quality sheets are a close second. There are a variety of snorkeling and beach activities supplies in the unit which is a nice bonus. The condo complex provides weekly entertainment, pool, hot tub, stellar staff and half a dozen other outdoor activities from tennis to a putting green. Can not recommend this place more. Arlene is an excellent host and makes each stay special.

Stayed here with my mom and 2 kids (11&15). Had to share beds of course, but was so impressed with our stay. Arlene was incredible at touching base before our arrival, and checking in after we landed to make sure we had everything we needed. The location itself was wonderful, but the extra touches Arlene provided made the place even more amazing! Our flight arrived late, and the soothing Hawaiian music that was left on for our arrival was just what we all needed. The kids had a blast trying the extra surprise our hosts had left for us.
The place itself was clean, had everything we needed to prepare meals, and having 2 bathrooms and showers was perfect for us, and the location steps from the beach was absolutely amazing. Hot tub was wonderful after sunset too. Would highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed our 10 days in paradise at this lovely Maui condo. Everything was available for you to enjoy a day at the beach from beach towels to starter sunscreen to chairs and an umbrella. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need to enjoy your stay. I would recommend this location for a couple or for a family with small kids.
Condo has easy access to a grocery store, gas station, pharmacy or fast food. And the Maui Sunset tradition of watching the sunset and blowing the conche shells is really hearwarming.

This condo is very nice and has everything you need. The owners, Arlene and Joe are wonderful hosts, leaving us a lovely fruit basket filled with delicious local fruits and treats.
Parking is easy, pool area is nice and easy walk to the beach. The only draw back is that there are no restaurants within walking distance, but are nearby with car. Certainly would return to this condo,

Checked in after office closed. When I arrived at my unit I was greeted with Hawaiian music, a beautiful fresh fruit tray, and an information notebook with my name. It was beautiful, peaceful and inviting. From the lanai, to my left I could see the mountains and the ocean to my right.It also overlooked the green ipen space with grills as well as the beautiful pool area. My hosts called to make sure I had arrived safely. I feel so blessed for having had the opportunity to stay at the Maui Sunset and all it has to offer.

Great location on the island. Easy access to main roads. Unit fully equipped with all necessities. Host and hostess were very responsive. Nice personal touch with a fruit basket and snacks upon our arrival. Highly recommend. Complex is older but nicely kept up. Access to beach was great.

Arlene is the consummate host—easy to communicate with, has supplied everything you will need to stay in or pack up and spend the day at a Maui swimming beach. She even supplied us with a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit and treats! Beach on the property is great to walk in the water with shoes and fabulous for viewing the sunset. You can walk on the backroads to breakfast in the morning. The property is quiet, sits on an expansive lawn with well maintained gardens and the pool is close. There was ample parking. We loved our time there! If you are a large person, you may find the bathrooms tight.

Absolutely loved the place, Great location close to many beaches. Grounds were well kept and even better equipped. Arlene gave us personal touches throughout the condo she customized to make us feel at home. The supplied beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc were invaluable to us all having a perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again

Arlene was just fabulous, welcoming, organized, and magical! The unit was perfectly appointed, impeccably clean, comfortable, with gorgeous mountain and ocean views. Cannot recommend highly enough, thank you for a beautiful visit!
April 2023
The condo is very pleasant! The bed is especially wonderful and the hosts chose expensive linens and SIX pillows - even one particularly “firm” one . That was very thoughtful! Two bathrooms and a well planned supply of kitchen utensils, silverware and dishes. Very tasteful decorations, comfortable couch and a TERRIFIC reclining chair in the living room; set perfectly in front of a TV that had cable and all the channels. I felt safe at all times and made friends with other women down by the pool. There was , by chance, a daily AA meeting at noon only steps away from my door . The meeting location was even noted as “Maui Sunset” as location !
I doubt that my hosts, Arlene and Joseph even knew that but I did share that info with them. All in all, a perfect place and I can imagine a family of three or four being very comfy there. Must’ve been thought out that way as there were an ample number of beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. I didn’t need it, but the sofa could open up to a double bed!

From the moment I booked the condo Arlene made the experience delightful. She communicated often and when I arrived the entire home was perfectly appointed. It was the best hosting I’ve ever had, she and her husband made my stay so delightful I never wanted to leave.
Aside from exemplary hosts, the condo was ideal—the location is central to the whole island with views of both the volcano peak and priceless sunsets on the ocean from your balcony. The staff and services available are another level of support to make your time stay a dream come true. I can’t wait to come back!

Old but nice . A little cramped but ok . TV was terrible. Maybe my fault . Didn’t have instructions on how to operate . Volume up to 100 and still couldn’t hear it. But overall we really enjoyed

Arlene is such a delight! She is in communication with you before and during to make sure all your questions are addressed!! Maui Sunset is a great property located on the beach - it is well maintained and A502 is wonderful also located on the top floor! We definitely will be back…someday!!

I liked the area (Kihei) and the condo complex. Many activities available and an enforced quiet time at night. Condo was clean and owner provided necessities and a wonderful array of fresh fruit at check-in. The beach furniture and towels were a definite plus. Owner was very accessible and always friendly.

What a wonderful property! We loved all the special touches. The fruit basket was a wonderful surprise. Although it seems small, the brita filter was such a welcome addition. I hate purchasing bottled water and not having to was great. Communication with Arlene was easy and she was very responsive and caring. Overall an excellent experience.

Arlene is one of the best VRBO property owners I have worked with. The fruit and snack basket is such a welcome treat after hours of flying!

We’ve stayed in a lot of Vrbos over the years. This is not the most high-end place we have stayed, but it is absolutely one of the best places we have stayed. Arlene was amazing to work with throughout the process. She and her husband put some wonderful touches and details throughout to make the stay as perfect as possible.
Others have mentioned the fruit and snack tray that Arlene leaves. It is every bit as fabulous as it sounds. There was also water that was perfect for us - a couple of bottles of sparkling water for my husband and a pitcher (like a Brita) of filtered water for me. I’m not sure I’ve ever stayed somewhere that has had a filtered pitcher before. Having that perfect filtered water throughout my stay helped make it so much better.
There were so many other small, yet very significant, things that added value as well. In addition to more typical things, Arlene left cotton balls, clothes to remove makeup, nail polish remover, and even bathroom scales. Don’t worry - they are tucked in cabinets so you don’t need to see them or think about weight if you do not want to.
Prior to our stay here, we spent a couple of days in a Vrbo condo on Oahu. As I normally do, I was grumbling to my husband about these places never having any anti-slip features in showers/tubs. But of course, Arlene left an anti-slip mat in the shower. There are also soft-close toilet seats in the bathrooms. We have these at home, so I have a hard time remembering when I travel that I can’t just drop the lid. At this condo, I didn’t have to worry about that.
Others have mentioned the beach supplies - chairs, coolers, etc. Those are wonderful and of a high quality. The bed is also amazing as well as being able to get the bedroom pretty dark.
The resort is, again, not the most high-end resort, but it is still absolutely wonderful. Check-in was a breeze and the staff were very friendly. Parking was not a problem at all. The elevators worked very well. Other guests and residents were very nice and friendly. The pool and hot tub were maintained very well. The two condo buildings have a large grassy area in between them with grills, some plants, and plenty of space to walk around, for kids to play, lawn games, etc. In the evenings this makes an excellent gathering spot for watching sunsets. Be sure to walk down to the beach at sunset. A few of the residents make this extra special.
Thanks for sharing your condo Arlene! It was our best Vrbo yet!

The condo was nice and the pool facilities with the rentals were great. It was a little far from most of our activities in Lahaina and Kaanapali, but we made them all. Overall, we had a great time.

Beautifully maintained property inside and outside. Thank you to Arlene for the fruit dish and her personal touches. Would definitely stay in this unit again. Great bed and the pull out sofa was the best I have seen. The pool was large and the Maui Sunset is in a convient location to other parts of Maui.

Arlene is a gracious and highly communicative host from the time of booking, more than I’m used to. But I never felt like I was bothering her with questions, and she made us feel like she genuinely wanted us to be able to make wonderful memories in Maui.
The 5-star reviews didn’t disappoint, but I’d give it a 4.8/4.9 overall if this form didn’t require 4 or 5 star choices. For example, the two air conditioners were programmable and could only be on for 4 hours max at a time. Also, upon leaving, you’re asked to get laundry going and do some other things to help the busy housekeepers. This isn’t a big deal, but was a little off-putting considering how much we paid to stay there. These and other nit-picky things are minor in the face of all the goodness; I just don’t take perfect reviews lightly.
Overall our experience was lovely. Maui Sunset is well-maintained and provides fun activities. True to its name, we enjoyed walking out and watching the sunsets. The condo didn’t have the best view in the complex, but my husband, teenage daughter and I could easily see both the ocean and mountains during our daily relaxing meals on the lanai/balcony, and we were so happy with it. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and more, and the beds were comfortable. Kihei turned out to be one of the best places to stay on the island, in my op. It’s centrally located & Lahaina/Wailea felt a bit more packed and touristy to us.
My only criticism is the refundable security deposit vs insurance choice. We opted for the former to avoid paying extra money. But it takes so long for VRBO to reimburse you the $$$$ (>14 days) that you may get charged interest if you put it on your credit card like we did. It’s supposed to be a “hold” (typically just shows up under pending); however ours had posted as a charge, and I verified that with my credit card company. This summer we’re paying off the rest of our last-minute vacation balance, so that combined with the security deposit didn’t help. My credit card company said we could file a dispute with VRBO and possibly get the interest money back, but Im done with further hassle. I understand the logic of protecting one’s investment, but I prefer the other B&B properties in which we’ve stayed that simply required an agreement that we would be charged after the fact if we broke something.

As most reviews have already said Arlene is very attentive and responds quickly to any questions you might have. The property is very nice and well kept. With all the people there never found the property to be to busy and was able to make use of all the anemities that we wanted. There is a beach out front but I wouldn't say its much good except for sitting and maybe playing in sand as if you go out in the water it is a very rocky and not good for swimming, but alot of other beaches around.
We had a great trip only regret is we didn't stay longer. Nice touch having the fruit plate as we tried alot of things we otherwise would never have.

We had a great time during our stay in Kihei. The condo was clean and very organized. The property at Maui Sunset is beautifully maintained and my kids loved the pool and hot tub! Arlene was a fantastic host, we loved our gift basket on arrival and she was able to offer us a late check out at the last minute which was great. We would stay again!

For 2 adults who love to cook local ingredients while traveling, we were delighted to find such a well appointed condo. The kitchen had every tool and small appliance we needed, which never happens! Also, beach chairs, towels, umbrella, reef-friendly sunblock in case your forgot yours…and the most beautiful tropical fruit basket! Arlene (owner) is delightful and kindly checks in with you and then honors your privacy during your stay. As long as you don’t need a big space, as the unit is compact, this condo is perfect. Nice views from the lanai, too.

The Condo rocked, very comfy, near many conveniences, close to beach pool & hot tub. Gorgeous sunsets. We will be returning.! Plus the Bed was wonderful :-). To top it off I left my new Maui Jim Sunglasses, Arlene the owner was Gracious enough to send them to me in Alaska, she is a true GEM!!!

Particularly loved the large Lanai, with glorious views of the Sunset over the Ocean
Our Host provided custom extras based upon our preferences, and was responsive to our questions during the stay.

The location and Sunset view from this condo are truly amazing! Arlene was a gracious host and my family (with 2 littles) had a great time at her property over the Christmas holiday. Spacious and safe lush garden and grassy area for the kids to run free. Great value on a great property! I highly recommend Maui Sunset.

We absolutely loved this property. It was everything we needed. The condo was great and Arlene was a wonderful host, very quick to reply to any questions before and during the stay. She was very thoughtful and accommodating to our request to check out late. We were welcomed by a fruit basket and many other person touches upon our arrival. The property itself is incredibly well kept. The pool and location on the beach are second to none. We hope to return one day!

We chose this property largely based on reviews about the care and attentiveness of the owners: excellent communication, hospitality, and so many thoughtful touches that made our stay carefree. From everything we would need for beach outings (chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, sunscreen, boogie boards, cooler), to a fully outfitted kitchen (including cooking basics like organic spices, and an introduction to the island’s many tropical fruits), great pride has been taken in making the unit our home away from home.
Super quiet, the top floor of the condo has great sunrise and sunset views along with cooling breezes. Great central location in Kihei near all the things we wanted to do. There were AC units and ceiling fans in all sleeping areas so everyone was comfortable, and the pull-out sofa couch was large enough for two adults to share. Plenty of storage space, and lots of books for reading up on local funtivities.
Be sure to ask Arlene and Joseph where to get the best ice cream on the island! 😁🍦

Property owner Arlene is awesome...a great mahalo to her. She was always available before and during the trip. Price for the condo was very affordable and was very well equipped. Other than food items, everything was available for use, even spices and condiments. The fruit basket was a nice touch and we enjoyed most of it. The refrigerator had a bottle of sparkling water and spring water waiting for us.
The bedroom was wonderful and I had the best sleep ever in the bed. The entry closet was well-stocked with beach and pool items...even beach towels and sunscreen. There were even beach toys for the little ones, which we didn't have with us. There were ample laundry and dishwashing supplies for use, as well as plenty of dishes, cookware, and grilling supplies.
Many pamphlets about island events and tours were available as well as a condo information binder with a description of where all the above items were located in the kitchen. A wide variety of Hawaiian music in CDs made for some relaxing moments.
I definitely will plan on staying here again in the future!

Great location in Kihei near lots of wonderful beaches and close to the heart of Kihei for food. The condo was clean and well-prepared with lots of custom items left by the host based on a pre-arrival survey. Kitchen was reasonably well stocked with equipment to eat-in as well. Loved that there was plenty of beach equipment available to use. The host (Arlene) was very communicative and very responsive to our questions and requests. We had an air conditioner issue and she promptly resolved by replacing it during our stay. Site facilities are pretty good with BBQs nearby and an excellent pool/spa. Property is right on the ocean and this makes for wonderful sunset viewing daily.

All amenities were provided or easily accessible, the property was clean, and had an amazing view from the lanai where we ate most of our meals. The property was centrally located and allowed easy travel throughout the island. The beach was well kept, not over crowded, and we saw a lot marine life including turtles. We highly recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Maui.

Beautiful sunsets, grounds and pool area.
Lovely arrival package of fruits, candy and water.
Noisy location of the room in that it is near the street. From early morning to early evening there is loud traffic noise. Can't be helped, and it's fine if you are out of the condo most of the day.

Our family of 3 (parents and one 6-year old) stayed for 11 nights in March. We have been to various Hawaiian Islands and this was our 3rd trip to Maui. Arlene was very responsive as a host. A fruit basket was waiting for us upon arrival.
On our second day, we received an email indicating that the unit would be sprayed for pests during our stay. I advised Arlene that I was really opposed to pest treatment during our stay and she quickly made arrangements for the spray to take place on our check out day. Thank goodness because I would have been pissed!
The resort is located on the north part of South Kihei Rd (away the main drag). Kamaole beaches are not walking distance and the beach at the resort is not your typical Hawaiian beach ☹️. We did not see turtles u like other reviewers. After the first day, it didn’t bug us any longer as the resort itself has a good sized child friendly pool with shuffleboard and a putting green area! We also had a rental car. (We do like to stay across from Kamaole though as going to and from is so easy.) The owner even has a Maui guide book in the condo.
The unit itself: The silicone in the master bath was black. The blender leaked our precious liquid gold. The sliding door was difficult to manage. The dishwasher leaked on our first use so we hand washed the rest of our trip. The master bath toilet sometimes made weird noises. The unit is a bit dated although the carpet seems newer. We didn’t complain about these issues as we didn’t want staff coming and going to fix things during our stay. (Mattress is soft-medium and sofa bed is sofa bed comfort; we prefer medium-firm.) Plus: blackout blinds, good sized living room, boogie boards, cooler provided, towels and beach towels provided. Laundry stacker is a plus. Ceiling fans and this we didn’t require A/C. Negative: old vacuum blows out stinky air so we couldn’t use it. I like my living space clean so keep that in mind when reading this review. I even washed and dried all the linen before we left lol.
You will notice a huge variation in styles of condos at this resort. Some have been updated and others not. This unit is on the 5th floor which means going up and down if using the shared BBQ.
The sunsets at this resort were beautiful.
I would rate the inside of the condo itself a 3.0-3.5 however the resort and Arlene pushed the rating higher.

Inside it’s got everything: a well-supplied kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards plus a very comfortable mattress in the bedroom. Outside on the deck, sit in one chair and there’s an ocean view, sit in the other and there’s Haleakala. Arlene and Joe are the most welcoming hosts imaginable, providing a waaay generous goody basket, whatever help you need and a ton of Aloha spirit. They are the best!

We arrived to Hawaiian music playing, a rainbow over the volcano and a beautiful tropical sunset over the ocean. Arlene had gone beyond expectations with an assortment of tropical fruit and delicious snacks. The condo is stocked with all your beach needs; chairs, coolers, boogie boards, snorkel equipment and beach towels. While wading in the shallow water adjacent to the condo my husband was surrounded by sea turtles. One morning I watched whales from the lanai. The condo was comfortable and the amenities at the complex were enjoyable to use.

We enjoyed staying at Maui Sunset and the location was perfect. Close to a lot of food, beaches, shopping and the owner was awesome!! She even left us a fresh fruit tray, basket of goodies and some water. The view from the patio was beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the condo had everything you needed. Beach chairs, ice chest, umbrellas, boogie boards and beach towels. That was so nice to have!! Having a washer and dryer was an added bonus. Definitely would stay here again.

It was my second time staying at the Maui Sunset in A502. Great location. Watched many sunrises and sunsets all from the deck. Ate amazing tropical fruits (many kinds in fruit basket upon our arrival!). Bed is comfortable. We had everything we needed for a great vacation in Maui. We will return! Mahalo Arlene!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maui Sunset. The hostess was very gracious and offered many thoughtful welcome amenities.

Location - The condo sits in the north bit of Keihi which makes it relatively quiet from the hustle and bustle of the 'downtown' Keihi. It has quick access to a shopping mall area which has a ton of great restaurants. The downside is the area outside the condo complex is not as walkable so not the best place if you look for the opportunity to explore the neighborhood on foot after dinner.
Condo - the condo itself is true to it's description. The sunrise over Haleakala each morning is absolutely breathtaking. Having breakfast on the open balcony is a wonderful way to start the day. There are two bathrooms so it makes it even more convenient. The only downside is the bedroom faces the shared hallway and the blinds need to be down all the time for privacy. This somewhat makes the bedroom feel a bit airtight.
Owner - Arlene was sweet and thoughtful. We instantly felt welcomed and at home when we walked in. The check-in process was easy. Although we checked in after-hours the instructions were easy to follow to obtain the keys to the condo.

We loved the view of the sunsets from the balcony and the hospitality of Arlene was phenomenal! She left us some tasty fruit to have for breakfast and Kihei is a great location for foodies at the many restaurants (much cheaper than Lahaina). Arlene was very pleasant to deal with and helpful with the surrounding activities such as the road to Hana. The location is perfect with respect to proximity of beaches - Tom liked Kami III for snorkeling the best. Restaurants and amenities are close by as well (we suggest breakfast at Nalu, happy hour/dinner at the Threes Bar and Grill and a cheaper option with vegan options that they also run, called Fork and Salad. Arlene has beach gear to borrow which was a nice to have. We thank her and VRBO for a short stay in a great place.

I liked your condo. It was clean, roomy and well equipped. I like that we had boogie boards and chairs. The grounds were pristine and BBQ area very clean. I thought at first that the grass was turf! I liked that the torches were lit at night. Maui Sunset offered outside games that we took advantage of. I think staying at Maui Sunset was a great deal and would stay there again. Arlene was very accommodating and easy to deal with.
Maybe hear from us agai

I stayed here with my wife for about a week, and we had a wonderful time! Arlene was a great hostess and a pleasure to deal with. The condo is well equipped and has everything we needed - kitchen utensils, blender, beach towels and chairs and even snorkelling gear. The location, Maui Sunset, with manicured lawns was beautiful, and right by the beach. It is also well situated from all the activities on the island.

Great vacation rental. Had everything we needed for cooking. Also had everything we needed for the beach; towels, lawn chairs, ice chest. Comfortable room for two. We brought our two year old son and he slept fine on the pull out sofa. Maui Sunset had great beach access, pool, and tennis courts.

I stayed here solo for 2 weeks in mid September. The new owner of the unit, Arlene, went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable. She is very personable and easy to deal with. She even loaned me 4 books on green smoothies and organic foods and brought me some local fruit from her garden.
The unit is very well equipped, as noted by another reviewer: boogie boards, beach towels, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, blender (great for green smoothie fans), washer-dryer combo, nice dishes, and a full array of supplies, cookware, and utensils. It's easy and fun to cook in the well equipped kitchen. There is also a small stereo system with very good sound quality which I linked up (not blue tooth) with my tablet via a 3.5mm RCA cable and I streamed music from the internet (excellent wi-fi in the unit) much of the time. There's also a nice sized TV in living room with a DVD player. Arlene left a couple of Hawaiian music CDs which was a nice touch.
The patio has a table and four comfortable chairs. It is fairly large, especially for just me. Comfortable bed, well functioning showers (in each bathroom) and overall a pleasant environment. The unit is closer to the road than the beach but still has a nice view between the two buildings to the ocean from both the living room and especially the balcony.
The grounds are well maintained and the gym is serviceable and the sauna hot. Easy parking too. So I am a fan and enjoyed dealing with owner Arlene. I would rent this unit again and recommend the condo and the property.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a spectacular time! Arlene, the owner, is so accommodating and friendly, goes out of her way to make sure you have a fantastic stay in Maui. The condo is so clean and well cared for, and includes snorkeling gear, boogie boards, and towels, everything one needs for the beach! The views from the lanai are beautiful and the proximity of the pool to the beach is everything one could want. I highly recommend renting this condo, such a wonderful stay!

We stayed the first week of Sept and had a wonderful time. The condo was so clean and close so so many activities. Very easy to get around the Island. If I ever get a chance to come back to this Island paradise I will stay here again!!
