Hands down the best experience you can get to stay in an AirBnB condo. If you plan to stay in Kihei, which is a good choice, look no further.
The condo is super clean. The decoration is beautiful. I like the big wall clock and the photos hanged on the wall on the dining table side. There is plenty of seating space for our family.
The parking spot is super near to the elevator. You literally are 50 steps away from your car. The Charles Young beach is just 7 minute walk away. We totally recommend walking to the beach with just the gear you need. Thanks to the passcode lock to the main door of the condo (more on this later), you don't even need to bring a key. The sand on the beach is unbelievably nice. The beach is calm (not the calmest though). A lot of people swim and snorkel there.
Not meaning this in a bad way, we feel that the information in the listing is a little bit on the modest side. They provide way more amenities than you would expect. The kitchen is so equipped, it may have more stuff than our own kitchen. They have plenty of towels, some of which you can bring to the beach. They have beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers (and reusable ice packs), pool noodles, sand toys, and so much more. Our advice is you may want to ask the host about the availability of the items that you are about to bring or rent or buy. That might save you some money. They even have a minisafe.
There is a small patio for hanging out. They have a binocular for overlooking the Kahoʻolawe island and maybe even Molokini?
The communication with Maureen is superb. It's all done timely, like one day in advance, via AirBnB messaging. She asked about our arrival time and tried to make the condo available that fits our arrival. When we arrived, the timer of the A/C is turned on which was a really nice welcome to the condo. The code to the passcode lock was communicated in advance and it's a personalized code. You are well assured that they change the code for every renter. This is so thoughtful.
This is by far the best experience we had staying with AirBnB. Thank you Maureen for hosting us.
