Overall this was a nice, cozy condo with fantastic sunset views. We had a very nice trip. A few further comments below:
1. Condo was generally clean on arrival but I noted a few spots that looked as though they had been missed, including some sand on the area rugs. Also, the drapes in the living room don’t seem to fit the sliding doors properly.
2. All beach equipment was included, which is a big help. I would suggest that the snorkeling gear be chucked and replaced with a couple sets of new equipment. I bought my own.
3. AC was cool and comfortable. If you are not hot natured and want to open the sliders, the breezes are refreshingly cool and consistent, even in summer.
4. Condo sleeps up to 4 with the sofa bed but beware…the space will be tight with 4 people. It is best for 1-2 people, maybe 3.
5. Parking is a bit confusing. Most of the spaces say “reserved” so we didn’t think we were supposed to park there. There are only a few spaces that don’t say reserved.
6. The exterior of the building appears a bit old and shabby but that shouldn’t worry you because the condo is nice inside. However, it appears the internal building courtyard is under repair and we had a running joke that the building resembled a penitentiary cell block more that a beachfront condo.
7. Bring quarters for laundry. The only other option is to download an app and pay by phone which seemed to be too troublesome to bother.
8. Location is beachfront in the more residential area of Kihei. You will need to drive a bit to get to the areas with shopping, restaurants, and the best beaches. The beach in front of the condo is OK but head south for bigger and better beaches.
In general, this was a great stay. The host was helpful and communicated quickly the few times we needed to contact him. I would recommend this place and would stay here again.
