This unit definitely has pros and cons.
Pros: location in Kihei is great (walkable to restaurants, shopping and a great health food market) and the ocean view is wonderful (literally steps to a really nice beach in a good swimming area). The porch is a wonderful place to have a glass of wine & watch the sunset. We really enjoyed the central location of Kihei (you can easily get to Lahaina, the airport, iao valley & great food/shopping in Wailea).
You can hear the waves from the living area if you leave the sliding glass door open. With 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms (both with showers) there is plenty of space.
Now for the cons, and reasons why we wouldn’t likely go back to this particular condo(maybe a different one in the same complex or area though.) The biggest con was that the place wasn’t up to our personal standards when it comes to cleanliness. The utensils & dishes in the kitchen all needed to be washed as we used them because everything felt a little funky. The ice maker has black mold inside so we weren’t able to use it. The bathrooms were especially dirty so we requested that they clean them, which they did the same day (so they really were responsive) but they also told us that one shower would need a grout specialist to get clean. The beds were also not ideal, the smaller bedroom has a very firm mattress, and the larger bedroom has a very soft mattress (that is well used and sunken on one side.) The living room furniture wasn’t really comfy either, more like stuff meant for an office waiting room. Aside from this the unit has lots of personal photos & belongings which isn’t necessarily bad it just felt a little strange.
Anyways the place could be really fabulous if the cleaning process was improved and the furniture replaced. The showers also felt in need of replacement and not just a grout specialist. We still had a nice vacation for what it’s worth. :) Because I personally rely so much on reviews I feel the need to leave an accurate one for future possible renters.
