PROS:
The condo location was amazing being in the heart of Kihei with shopping, nightlife, and the beach at walking distance. Also, the condo faces the ocean and we enjoyed watching sunsets on the balcony. The amenities were great too (pool, gym, parking, outdoor grills, gated community, etc.). We had two assigned parking spots right by the elevator which helped when we bringing in groceries. There were plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach towels, etc. to take to the beach, which was a plus!
CONS:
There were a couple of false advertisements, especially with sleeping arrangements. First, the condo doesn’t fit up to 8 people as advertised. There is no pull out couch and the upstairs room is unlivable. It gets over 90F upstairs (in May) at night since there is no central AC or a window AC unit there. To expect someone to sleep upstairs is inhumane. I tried getting someone out to fix the AC so that it could blow colder/harder air but that did not make that room any cooler. All we got was more fans. The air from the downstairs AC window unit just doesn’t reach the upstairs or even the front bedroom (which was also hot but bearable). So lost room for 2 people upstairs who had to sleep on the floor downstairs. Thankfully there was a spare mattress.
In reality the place sleeps 4-5 comfortably with the furniture provided. 7 people (our case) if you come with 3 kids and are okay with being crowded and sleeping out in the open in the family room.
