Viktoria was very helpful and responsive before and during our stay, and always quick to answer questions. The condo was very nice and exactly like the pictures. The internet connection was very fast and reliable. The complex seemed very well managed, tidy but not impersonal. We never had any trouble finding parking. (having a car is probably essential unless you don't want to venture far) We enjoyed using the swimming pool and hot tub. The complex is on the outskirts of Kihei, so it was quiet in general.

The kitchen had lots of crockery, cutlery and utensils - we were able to cook without compromise, which is rare. Having a dishwasher was also great, who wants to wash the dishes on holiday? The bed and sofa were very comfortable, but sitting on the patio watching the birds and geckos was our favourite. (note: we didn't use the sofa as a bed) Enough dishwasher tablets, washing detergent and toilet paper were provided for 1-3 days, but we needed to buy extra to last us the whole 10 days - it's probably more economical to bring some with you.

We felt safe in the neighbourhood and slept with the bedroom windows open at night, there are insect screens in all windows. A small beach is just across the road from the complex (about 2 mins walk) and there's a much bigger beach about 5 minutes walking south, where we liked going for a walk and saw some huge turtles in the sea and even on the beach. (along with wading birds and seabirds) There is generally lots of wildlife around, some of it literally on your doorstep. (geckos everywhere, birds nesting in the bushes by the patio, Chital deer grazing in the field next door, etc.)

We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again if we returned to Maui!
