Our experience staying in apartment #3 on Iliili Rd. was more than we expected and could have ever hoped for! In the true spirit of Aloha, Thomas went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and to guarantee our stay was enjoyable. He left a special gift for us upon arrival and was so accommodating of our schedule upon check out. He emailed a list of recommendations to make the most out of our stay and ever place we visited on the list hit a high note. So thankful for all he did for us! The apartment was clean & tidy and had all the comforts of home. The bed was a dream, the pillows were soft . Thomas provided all linens, a cooler which came in handy for taking drinks to the beach, as well as ice packs to keep everything cool. Beach towels and beach chairs as well. So thoughtful ! The outside lanai had a small table where we ate breakfast, as well as two lounge chairs where we laid in the evening, enjoying both the cool air from the tradewinds and the endless stars in the night sky. The grounds were well kept, with beautiful, fragrant, plumeria and mango trees, that reminded you that you were indeed in paradise. The walk to the beach from the apartment is less than a block away and while there is heavy building going on on the corner, all of that was blocked off so that it didn't cause an eyesore to the folks enjoying the beach. Speaking of which, enjoy the beach we did. Cove Beach and Charley Young beach are some of the best beaches to visit while staying on Maui. Cove beach is especially private and one of the best places to take in a fabulous Hawaiian sunset. We also didn't have to walk far to enjoy the night life of The Triangle, shop for groceries, or visit with locals at Kalama Park. Having stayed 5 days at the Ritz in Kapalua prior to checking in here, I can honestly say that Thomas was a far superior host than anyone found at a 5 star resort! He went above and beyond! This is THE place to stay in Kihei! Overall our stay in Maui was not only enhanced by our stay here, but the memories of our time on Iliili Rd will be carried in our hearts forever. So grateful to have found this gem & we can't wait to get back someday to enjoy #3 again. Aloha nui loa !
