Our host was more than expected. When we arrived to the condo we noticed the closet was full of beach equipment like beach chairs, towels, water noodles and boogy boards. It was definitely a plus and saved us money renting that stuff from vendors on a daily basis. Our neighbors, while there, commented that they had to rent all of that equipment as it was not provided in their condo unit. There were a couple of half-empty sunscreen bottles under the bathroom sink we used to get us through the first couple of days before we went shopping, as well. We also noticed that everything was clean and set up just like a hotel would be (folded towel presentations, hotel sized soaps, bottle of wine and snacks, etc.). We were left instructions and notes throughout the condo for emergency contact, problem (i.e. plumbing or a/c) contact or other various house-keeping issues. We were very happy with the location of the condo in S. Kihei- really easy access to other towns and attractions, short drives to the best snorkeling on the island, and walking to restaurants and shopping. The only problem we had was the bed, which was much too soft and mobile for us, but really, everything else was perfect and met or exceeded expectations. Booking, check-in and check-out were no problems whatsoever, and was very simple. We got some tips and travel pointers from the unit's guest-book. "Foodland" was a decent grocery store about a mile north on Kihei road, and when we got to check-out, the employee noticed the discount tag on our room key. It saved us money throughout the week, so make sure you bring that key with you. I would recommend this unit, especially for this GREAT price we paid during off-season. We would not have been able to afford our perfect honeymoon without the reasonable prices and amenities provided by Deirdre. We would recommend this unit to others.
