Great location near Kamaole I beach and Kihei restaurants and shops. There’s a small sand rinsing station by the entrance to the community from the sidewalk. Includes helpful items for families with young kids, like a pack n play, sand toys and beach chairs + umbrellas, and a kid-sized step stool!
It was fun hearing the local birds outside each morning! We rarely heard noise from neighbors and it seems there are many units being rented out like this one nearby.
Check-in and out were easy and straightforward. The community swimming pool is nice and has an outdoor shower + bathrooms. Internet access was fast.
Be aware the bedrooms can get uncomfortably warm and there’s only one AC unit in the living room. Both bedrooms have a ceiling fan and there’s also a helpful tower fan. The clothes washer was also a bit smelly, but we’ve provided this feedback to the host and hopefully it will be addressed for future guests. Also, instructions say to bring recycling to another address, but the dumpster area in the parking lot has convenient sorted recycling bins.
Recommended businesses nearby:
- Lava Java - coffee, and the shopping center here has several other well-known restaurants and shopping booths
- Maui Pie - mmm pie
- Maui Teriyaki - excellent grilled chicken teriyaki
- Maui Ono Donuts - trailer in a parking lot, awesome made-to-order small donuts
- Sansei - sushi
- Ululani Shave Ice - of course
Thank you for the home base for our vacation!
