Violet was super communicative. There was never anything in doubt. The unit was absolutely spotless when we got there. The air conditioning unit was fully operational. The bed was nice and comfortable, and there were a variety of pillows to choose from. We were able to cook a bit in the unit (although the food nearby lured us out almost all the time). LOVE LOVE LOVE the detachable shower head-- this is especially nice after you've been to the beach and have sand in your nooks and crannies. The location was great; we walked for about one minute, and we were on the beach, drinking wine.
Kihei is a busy town. Since you are right at the beach, there is a lot of traffic noise, so it's wise to have earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Or, close the windows, crank the a/c, and that makes it quiet. Nothing Violet can control there.
