Overall I must say Donna's place made me and my fiancee feel at home and it was a good stay. It looks exactly like the pictures and everything is nicely done. It's in a very good area in Kihei and everything is easily accessible by car from this location. If you don't rent a car you still would be ok with all the options on Kihei Road that runs along the beaches. The Air conditioning works great in the living room/kitchen area, but the bedroom stays hot even with both fans on. Each night we opted to sleep on the sofa pull out bed because it was much cooler in there.
Cons: This biggest con for me was Donna's neighbor and an assumption on Donna's part before speaking with me first (please read carefully). My fiancee & I were staying at Donna's place at Maui Hill while vacationing and taking our engagement photos and my younger sister and a friend of hers were staying 2 minutes down Kihei Road at Maui Banyan. Prior to our engagement photos my fiancee asked my sister to come over and do her hair & makeup to be camera ready for our photoshoot. My sister hung behind while we were hurrying to our shoot down the road at Makena Cove and agreed to close the door behind her before she left and made sure it was locked (no big deal). On our way back from our shoot no more than 45-50 minutes later I received missed calls and a money request from Donna through the Airbnb platform for an additional person. The message reads like this
"Hey Omari!
I was informed that you have a 3rd person in the condo and there is supposed to be only 2. Usually we charge $20/night for an extra person, but I will cut that in half as a gift for your special occasion. I will send you a request for $70 for the 7 nights. Mahalo, Donna"
This really bothered me for 2 reasons. One, my sister informed me a lady with an Alaskan Husky dog walked by the back sliding doors more than once and was actually peaking in and staring at my sister through the glass. This was definitely troublesome for both my sister & my fiancee that someone was peaking through condo not to mention myself. Secondly, it was disheartening to think Donna would take the word of neighbor without speaking with me first and start requesting money for an additional person. I gave Donna a call and we were quickly able to clear things up and she apologized for her neighbor, but I don't recall her apologizing for her assumption. After the call it was water under the bridge and we enjoyed the rest of our stay without any other issues. Donna was even nice enough to gift us with a bottle of sparkling wine and a hand written note that congratulated us on our engagement.
Overall, our stay would have been 5 Stars had we not had that one hiccup. Its a really nice place in a nice area.
