Our stay at Serenity by the Sea was fantastic! We knew we wanted to be in Kihei for the weather, beaches and proximity to Molokini and this place was a FIND! First, I cannot say enough about Jackie as a Superhost. She was incredibly communicative and informative at every turn from inquiry to check-out. Moreover, given we were navigating the outbreak of COVID-19 back him, she extended us extra time in the condo with our fluctuating travel plans home which was fantastic. Upon check-in we received a welcome packet from Jackie electronically, chock full of local recommendations and ideas for excursions, restaurants, local bars etc. She was quick to respond with questions we had about the condo during our stay and was just a dream to work with - thank you Jackie!
The condo itself is equipped with everything you will need during your stay. The location is right across the street from the Kamaole Beach II which we went to multiple times a day. Jackie has provided beach umbrellas, beach coolers, beach chairs, boogie boards and tons of sand toys for little ones. The condo is so comfortable and perfect for two couples or (in our case) our family (my husband and me in the queen room and our two teenage girls in the room with two doubles). The kitchen has everything you need to cook, filtered water in the fridge, freezer has an ice-maker and there is ample coffee-making equipment, toaster oven, microwave etc. Each room of the unit has ceiling fans and A/C to control the temperature to your liking. LOVE the washer/dryer to minimalize packing and Jackie kindly stocks plenty of detergent for doing laundry.
The complex is a two-minute walk to shops, little grocery store, an incredible homemade cinnamon bun place with a line out the door each morning and some fun bars. Of course, nothing beats grabbing a sundowner and heading to the beach to watch the spectacular Maui sunsets. The complex has two swimming pools which were lovely when it was windy at the beach. Plenty of grills at each pool to share for meal prep. Honestly, I would stay here again in a heartbeat and can't wait to get back to Kihei to scuba dive, watch the whales breaching in the bay and soak in that wonderful sunshine. Thank you Jackie!!
