We appreciate the professional management, responsiveness and flexibility that Thomas showed. The views, location and lay out were everything prior reviews stated. Foodland and restaurants are within walking distance.
The beach behind the property was beautiful, great for a swim and turtle watching. One afternoon, we witnessed a herd of turtles enjoy a feeding frenzy on the rocks just to the south of the water access point. The public, wrap around patio really does feel private. It was only used once, for a short time, by other residents while we were there. You have great sunsets and views of surfers. I finally saw the green flash in the sky one night.
We never considered the air conditioning. After living in New Orleans and the midwest, we were surprised how comfortable 88 degrees and 75% humidity could feel with the constant breeze.
The mattress is excellent. Between it, the breeze and the wave sounds we slept very well.
The laundry room was convenient and I found that it also provided soap after I had purchased some.
The furnishings, overall, are dated but adequate. You are staying here for the location, sunsets and beach and they deliver. We had a great time.
Two final notes:
It was our first trip to Maui and Kihei was a good central location.
We think that the furnished condiments, salt, pepper and cooking oil vary from stay to stay, depending on what previous residents leave, so check the inventory before you shop.
