Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed in unit B9 with a friend and to say we loved it would be an understatement. My friend was so impressed with the kitchen ( especially the knives?!?) and we both appreciated the view, the sound of the waves and great aircon. The location was quieter than Kihei but easily accessible to restaurants and stores. The parking spaces are super tight so we went with a small rental car and were glad we did. I hope I am blessed to come back one day.

Couple minor issues, couch in unit was broken and needs to be replaced. There was also an individual who seemed to be monitoring the coffee and recycling bins on the patio. We were unexpectedly lectured on not using these bins. Other than that our second stay there was perfect and look forward to coming back!

The view is great, the condo I stayed in was neat as a pin and very comfortable (I'd love a shorter dining room table and not a bar-style one, but that's a minor issue). Everyone at KS is great to interact with, and I highly recommend them.

Ellen was so great, answering all my questions. Her suite was outfitted with almost everything we needed. Comfy bed. Perfect kitchen. The location is one patio back from the pool which was perfect - close enough with still providing privacy- front suites have people in front of them often. Seating around the pool and in the common BBQ area always available. Beach was perfect. Very quiet. Perfect for a nice and relaxing, quiet vacation. I had read reviews about the beach being windy but we didn’t find that at all. Absolutely loved our stay.

While the kitchen looked different than the photos (it and the bathrooms were very small), the pros FAR outweighed the cons. The location and views were amazing. Literally steps from the pool and beach (and laundry room). Uncrowded beach, great swimming, friendly staff, comfortable beds, small complex, free coffee every morning. We could go on and on! We had the best time, and will most definitely rent this condo again!

We recently married later in life after 13 years losing our spouses. We chose Hawaii as our destination and spent 3 weeks on Oahu and Maui. We loved Kiehi Sands condo right on the beach. We especially enjoyed the boats that were anchored. Perfect location for exploring the island. Comfortable bed and pillows! We hope to come again! G and L Lindley Oklahoma
