We enjoyed the location after staying several places in Kehei and walking to the beach was easy. Unit was all we needed and quiet. Enjoyed the Hot Tub almost every night.

We almost didn’t get to stay given the fires in Lahaina, but thankfully it all worked out and Darilyn and her local manager Linda were amazing. They communicated with us the whole flight there - we found out in flight - and once we arrived everything was set up perfectly. Linda gave us tips on groceries and local eateries as we would not be able to leave the area to respect the first responders and crews needing the roads. The condo was very comfortable with everything we needed to have a relaxing week. The location is perfect for what we wanted to do (we’re not typical tourists though). Close to remote beaches, farmers market and swap meat markets and great food trucks. If you’re into the beach club vibe, this location isn’t for you. If you’re into relaxing with local residents, it’s perfect. We will definitely make this property our go to when in Maui.

This condo has everything you need for a nice place in Maui. We really enjoyed the use of the hot tub and pool. The beach chairs and umbrella were quite handy at the beach. We had a wonderful time staying at Darilyn’s condo.

One of the more inexpensive areas to stay on Maui. Across the street from the ocean (No ocean view). Close to downtown Kihei for shops/restaurants/etc.

The development is older and is in a low area that has see flooding so the laundry was closed due to flooding but the property is very functional but could use some upgrades and your in a quiet area but also in the middle of all things to explore in Maui !

Unit was nice and neighbors were quiet. Sliding screen door needs a new spring roller, was dragging.
It was away from the more upscale condos but centrally located for our needs.
Took a couple of days to realize (my mistake) how to access the pool area.
Property manager was very nice and prompt with communication.
Overall it is a nice rental for the price point and great for basing trips to the beaches and running around Maui.

This is a wonderful little two bed place. It is quant and filled with all the essentials. This place is very close to Sugar Beach, Lahaina Pali trail and Food Land. The drive to the airport is around twenty minutes and it’s located in the West side of the island.
This place felt like our home away from home and we loved experiencing Maui this way.

Thank you for the nice stay in your cute studio. It was great for just the two of us. This was the 6th time my husband and I have visited the island of Maui. Kihei is a great location! We really enjoyed the friendly neighbors here. The beach access directly across the street was ideal to go for a morning run on the beach, or watching the sunset in the evening. The unit isn't large, but that was not a problem for us. We had everything we needed from beach towels/gear, to plentiful kitchen supplies, even a small counter top grill. It seemed there were a lot of things that you'd find in a lived-in home, which we really appreciated; extra items you may not think of, but proved very useful, such as plastic containers for storing leftovers, a strong blender for smoothies, a good supply of dishwasher tablets, plastic baggies, food seasonings, etc. The coin laundry was on-site, not in the room, and we never seemed to make it during the operating hours since we were out and about all day long. Things seemed to be in good order and functioning well, aside from the air conditioning unit, which we were told was scheduled to be replaced just after our stay. We were comfortable and didn't have any problems. I would choose to stay here again. Darilyn was accomodating and responsive; thank you!

Loved the property! It had everything we needed and even things we did not know we would like to have. Great location 30min to 1h for all the popular beaches, road to hana and Lahaina town. Included all beach gear (chairs, cooler, parasol, boggie boards, towels, snorkals), everything for cooking (coffee maker, pots, pans, tuperware for lunches, ice packs, toaster...) we even BBQ'ed by the pool 2 nights! Close to all stores and restaurants, nice beach accross the street. Guest leave some items such as aftersun, leftover suncreen and basic kitchen items (ketchup, mustard, butter, salt, pepper, spices, syrup, ect.)
Parking included, pool and spa quiet, grounds cleaned daily! Has laudry room and car wash space. Half locals and some renters. Great space to be out and about or just stay in and relax. Also has private terasse to eat breakfast and coffer or have a drink ;)
Would recomment 10000% :) owner and manager availible if needed. Great service!!!

Pros:
Great location
Clean bathroom
Price per night
Cons:
Smelled like pee when first arrived
Needs a new furniture asap (very old and worn)
Possible bedbugs (was itching every night)
Old uncomfortable mattress (gave me extreme shoulder pain and now I have to seek medical attention)
Cluttered kitchen (too many leftovers in cabinets and fridge from previous guests)
Bathroom lights were so hot (felt like a heat lamp)
Too many items from past guests in the bathroom cabinet
Loud and very old rusted fan
Will I stay in this unit again? No. While the location is great right across the beach the unit itself needs a major update. It’s very old-fashioned, very dark and dreary looking. Maybe it could benefit from having a beach decor, something more bright and uplifting.

Thank you Darilyn for letting us stay at your condo. Nice clean property. Bed is so comfortable. Beach is just across the street. Lots of beach accessories at the condo. Linda the property manager is so helpful when we had TV connection issues. Love this property and will definitely come back and stay here again 💖

We absolutely loved staying in this little yellow studio. We were 15 mins from anything we wanted, which was perfect for our packed schedules. It was a little warm at nights but we eventually figured out to put the box fan at the end of the bed on a chair so we could both feel a breeze.

We stayed here for 10 days and it was wonderful! It had everything that we could possibly need. The condo complex felt safe and clean. We met several residents at the pool who were so friendly and gave us great ideas for restaurants and excursions. The best part was the affordability. Hawaii was always a bucket list vacation for us but we never thought we could afford it. This condo and it’s great prices made the trip possible for us and, for that, we are eternally grateful.

Lots of thoughtful extras in this condo—in the kitchen, bathroom, closet, and living space. Manager even asked if I could think of anything else guests would like. There’s fun wall art, as you can see. Comfy bed. Loved the location, across the street from 2 types of beaches: the park where sea turtles rest on the rocks (wish I’d seen some) and the adjacent long stretch of beach. A note about the nearby restaurants, grocery store, and other businesses: They’re a quick drive, but if you don’t have a car it’s probably a 30-40 min walk each way. Or there’s a bus that stops near the condo.

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for spring break. It was perfect for us with the bed and pull out sofa bed. The size worked well and we loved the beach and royal pond being just across the street. You can see lots of sea turtles!!! Please be respectful and stay at least 15 feet away from them. Kihea is a great central area on the east side of Maui. Highly recommend this condo for smaller groups.

This stay could not have been more enjoyable. It was so affordable and the best town to stay in while in Maui. My husband and I walked in and beach condos are usually always sandy, but this one was spotless. Communication was perfect and the facilities here are great! We loved grilling, swimming and hot tubbing with the neighbors. (Oh and the TV has been upgraded. So nice!) everything you need.
We definitely recommend booking here :)

This property was a close drive to good restaurants in Kihei and just about anywhere on the island. It is an older property on the first floor, but was perfect for a place to sleep and base for exploring. The AC was loud, so we ended up just using the fan at night which worked fine. There were basic ingredients to compliment cooking, as well as a coffee press and coffee maker. We appreciated having a beach umbrella to use while relaxing on the beach. This property met our needs and it was a relaxing vacation.

This studio was just as advertised; very cozy! We enjoyed the use of the pool in the complex and appreciated the A/C unit in house with the extra floor fan. It was also very nice to have beach supplies ready to go with chairs, towels, umbrellas and a cooler! This was the perfect place for our little romantic getaway.
The only suggestion I have for the owner is to add a tub mat or those non-slip stickers to the tub, as it is very slippery and we almost had a fall.

We stayed for 2 1/2 weeks over Christmas and had a fabulous, comfortable stay. The apartment is well appointed with absolutely everything you could possibly require and Safeway was a 15 minute walk. Check the pantry before buying any items as lots of things available from previous renters
The pool and hot tub and bbq area were well kept. Communications with the owner prior were great.
Definitely will stay again. Only suggestions would be to get a knife sharpener as the knives are very dull and cull some of the dishes as there as too many which creates lots of clutter.
Thank you!

Darilyn's condo is a perfect Ohana for a visit to Kihei on Maui. The condo is fully equipped with all the essential items for a comfortable vacation. Combo living room/bedroom is spacious with a comfortable queen bed overlooking a patio and tennis court. Kitchen has all one needs to prepare meals with stove, micro, frig, toaster and coffee maker...dishes, cookware and utensils are included. Enjoy the convenience of a full bathroom with private toilet, sink and shower. Towels, beach chairs and umbrellas are provided. After a long day of outdoor beach activity, it's refreshing to visit the pool and soak in the hot tub under warm starry nights. The price is right for this quaint, cozy condo across the street from the Whale Museum and ancient fishing pond where Honu nest overnight. It even includes parking!

The owner makes sure we have everything we need. For cooking: everything is there. Enough space for 3 adults. Pool, laundry , bbq and beach are few steps away.
Very quiet place : this is why I will rent there again. Also : no bugs. We had our meals outside when we were at the condo.
It was my third time in maui. My only regret now is why didn ' t I find this place sooner?

5 star is based on value for money. We don't think it is possible to live better, cheaper in Hawaii, BASTA!
Clean little unit, nearly everything you could want for utensils in the kitchen (could have used a lid for the biggest frying/sautee pan :). Bed good, good bathroom, sofa ok to sit on - never tried it as a bed. All in all the perfect unit for two. Wife walked into Kihei for shopping (Times, Safeway) a few times - too far for me. Air conditioning for us was not necessary, (but it seemed to be for everyone else). Easy parking, Pool, grill area never crowded, nice neighbors - many "normal" residents - not tourists or retirees. Darylin was easy to work with, instructions for the unit were perfect.
We visited 12 different beaches, Big Beach undisturbed and beautiful, Probably Baldwin our favorite for the turtles and the "baby beach" and mostly locals. Got married (again) on Makapo Beach! Filled the SUV with beach chairs and umbrella the first day and we were set. Smart water jug with filter in the fridge - filled it every day. Ate in for every dinner (just our way of doing things), and the oven was a litte slow to heat up.
I would love to come again and had we not just bought a house, I would already reserve for next year.
Darylin, let us know when the unit is free for two weeks in Jan - March. We missed the whales!

I enjoyed my Ohana visit to Maui due to many factors. Preparation is always three fold for me: securing a flight with Alaska Airlines, securing lodging and car. When all three are in order I can continue to prepare my visit and focus on enjoying the aloha spirit. I rented with Hertz which provided a decent car at a decent rate. I had no trouble with the car which is a blessing. Car problems can cause havoc with a vacation. My lodging was a fully furnished studio in Kihei. It's all about location. The rental was located across from the Kihei Whale Museum. On my first morning after arrival, I walked across the street and headed for the beach just around sunrise. Sunrise approaches behind the dormant volcano Haleakala. Spectacular sunsets face the Kihei horizon. I am always in quest of the elusive Giant Green Sea Turtles which I enjoy while snorkeling. I know they tend to beach themselves at sunset and disappear into the ocean after sunrise. I was not disappointed and found three adult turtles on the beach in front of the museum pond. I enjoyed a whale watch cruise with Pacific Co...got to see a dozen breaching whales. I have specific, yet simple, lodging requirements: clean, quiet, safe...and, thankfully, no bugs. I was not disappointed with my rental, though on a few occasions the renter above me was noisy. I fixed that with ear plugs. The rental was a small studio with combined living room/bedroom (Murphy bed), small kitchenette and separate bath, free parking in front. TV had modified cable channels, wifi and phone were available. The pool and Jacuzzi were closed for maintenance a few days. Once available, it was a pleasure to soak in the Jacuzzi under night skies after a day at the beach. A bbq is available for use. Being vegetarian, I bought most food items at Moon's Nature store and other local markets, lots of fresh fruits available...and cooked meals in except for one dinner at Antonio's Italian restaurant. Be sure to hear Anthony Pfluke when he's performing traditional Hawaiian music at Nalu's restaurant. The rental owner, Darilyn, was readily available by phone and email for inquiries. Her local rental assistant, Shannon, was very helpful. Winter weather conditions are typical...warm/dry in Kihei, rainstorms in Kahului...with huge surf. The Triple Crown on Oahu was cancelled due to dangerous conditions: 30 foot waves. It's all part of the aloha spirit of the islands. Mahalo...

I stayed in this studio for about two months while completing an internship. The property is very well maintained, maintenance staff are extremely friendly, and residents are nice. Pool area with grill is perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The unit itself is the perfect size for one or two people. Very clean, well furnished, all necessities included. The owner was very helpful in answering any questions or responding to concerns. I would definitely recommend to family, friends, couples, anyone! Steps away from the beach and very close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. Awesome condo! My stay was wonderful, and I hope to return soon.

This was a great lodging experience. Good communication.....good value. On island manager was friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this property.
