We could not have picked a better spot for our 12 day honeymoon in Maui. Knowing little about Hawaii, I was trying to find a spot that fit our budget but was comfortable, convenient, clean, and safe. Thomas's condo went above and beyond our expectations. The central-ish location in Kihei was great for our trips to Lahaina, Maalaea, Paia, Hana, Haleakala, and Wailea.

Apartment Pros

- Keyless entry was AWESOME. No need to worry about lost keys.
- Quiet yet very friendly neighbors/tenants. We rarely heard anyone while we were in the space. I was worried about the bedroom being in the front of the apartment, but it was totally fine noise-wise.
- Comfortable bed and linens.
- Shower, faucets, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances all worked well.
- Beach supplies - chairs, towels, umbrella (!! the umbrella extended our days at the beach by hours) and cooler were all such thoughtful, helpful additions.
- Can hear (and sort of see) ocean from the living room
- Clean and bright.
- Having the laundry room was great. Both washer and dryer worked well.

Location Pros

Beaches
- Walk down the block and you're right at Charley Young Beach. This entrance also has a shower/foot washing station. This is a great beach for sunning, swimming, paddle boarding and boogie boarding. It is busy but never to the point of overcrowded; we were always able to find a spot.

- The opposite way up the street is Cove Beach. We walked on this a little bit, but it was much more popular with surfers and people who were doing a 'tail-gating' BBQ beach day. Lots of surfing lesson/rental spots around Cove Beach.

- You can walk on Charley Young and keep going down the shore, over some grassy hotel lawns, over rocks, and keep going down another beach. Awesome for long walks at sunset.

Location in General

- This spot in Kihei is not nearly as windy as other spots closer to Maalaea. Nor is it super busy with tourists, as Thomas says. It feels more residential.
- No issues finding parking spots near the condo building.
- You can walk to Foodland for groceries (its very similar to Safeway or Kroger)
- All the shops - both north and south of the condo - are a convenient walk.

Thomas was communicative, helpful, and it was clear he wanted us to enjoy ourselves as much as possible. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat.
