Let me preface by saying that my partner and I had a long and exhausting flight to Hawaii. The moment we got to Lindsay's condo, I laid on the outdoor patio couch and watched the sunset until I fell into a much needed slumber. That was the sweet beginning of what was an entire week of relaxation and enjoyment. Lindsay's condo was as pictured. Having two showers was a great convenience when we came straight from the beach. The towels were the softest towels I've ever used. The bed was so comfortable we slept in every day. We also enjoyed watching the dvd's in her collection (Lilo and Stitch and The Quick and the Dead!). Beach amenities are also provided and were extremely useful to our outings. The pool on the property was a nice bonus if you can snag the hot tub. The view from the pool is stunning.
I've been to Maui a number of times but this was my first time staying in Wailea/Kihei. It's in the center of every major city in Maui (Lahaina, Paia, Hana) which made it perfect for driving. Foodland and Island Gourmet Markets were our go-to for low key but delicious Hawaiian food. We had our "fancy" dinner at Lineage which had the best smoked fish and garlic noodles I've ever had. Polo beach was easily our favorite beach in the area - great for bodyboarding and whale watching. Everything we needed was about a 5 minute drive away. If you enjoy peace and quiet, upscale shopping/dining, and local activities, this is the place for you. Since tourism has decreased significantly due to covid, we really felt like we had Hawaii to ourselves.
Highly recommend - Mahalo Lindsay!
