I do not have enough words to describe the condo but let me begin with clean, comfortable, quiet, romantic, restful, secure...in a word PERFECT. Tracy did an amazing job in creating a wonderful, tropical vacation home.
DECOR: The colours are soothing, comfortable and restful. The king size bed is the same comfort/quality found in a five star hotel and is thoughtfully made with cotton sheets which feel great on skin that has been out in the sun all day.
AMENITIES: I cannot think of one thing Tracy overlooked, and believe me I tried. The kitchen is beautiful with newer appliances and cabinets and is offset by a gorgeous granite countertop with breakfast bar. It is also fully stocked with every appliance and utensil you could ever need.
The bathroom is clean, bright and fully stocked with hair products, body wash, skin cream and some of the fluffiest bath towels I have ever felt.
Not only does Tracy supply dozens of books about Maui to help you plan your day but 100s of movies for the DVD/Blue Ray player to watch at night.
Hidden in the cubby boxes of the shelves you will find a sewing kit, play station, bathrobes, a tool kit, and cookbooks. In the front hall closet you will find a secure in-room safe to store your valuables. There is also an iron/ironing board, and a clothes drying rack for wet bathing suits and beach towels.
Speaking of beach towels, Tracy not only provides oversize beach towels, but beach chairs, umbrella, mats, picnic coolers, and just about anything else you could think you might need for a day at the beach. Like I said, Tracy has thought of everything!
THE COMPLEX: The complex is clean, quiet and relaxing. The common areas (pool/hot tub/bbq) are clean and well looked after. The groundskeeping is immaculate and welcoming. There is a laundry room in the complex with 9 washers and 9 dryers which means that you can pack less do a quick load of laundry while lounging by the pool.
LOCATION: For those like us for whom this is their first trip to Maui, Kihei turned out to be the perfect central location. The condo is conveniently located close to the centre of Kihei which has grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, and just about anything you would need or want.
Kihei is perfectly centrally located with Kahului about a 15 minute drive north. The quaint town of Paia 5 minutes outside Kahului and then the historical, charming and picturesque town of Lahaina a beautiful 30 minute drive away up the other coast.
Of course, if you just want to stay and play in Kihei you will find one beautiful beach after another for swimming, snorkeling and sunning.
This was our first trip to Maui and it won’t be our last and our first step will be to book again with Tracy. We cannot recommend her or her accommodations high enough and welcome any questions anybody may have.
