Bill and Terry were excellent hosts. communication was amazing and they responded right away when I had questions. All instructions about check In and check out were very detailed and easy to follow.
The condo it self was great. The photos I took of the view is just as the photos in the listing. It has a great (mostly) private view of the ocean looking out towards the mountain range of the oldest of the two volcanoes that Maui is formed from. You can also see this view from inside the condo. Not sure if this is year round, but I loved waking up early and listening to all the tropical birds and smelling the huge blooming plumeria that is near the building when the lanai was open.
We stayed in the beginning of August, during a record breaking heat wave (was 90+°f for a few days there) and I can say we did not feel the need to use the AC in the living at all. With the lanai open, fans blowing, and the trade winds going for most of the day, it was quite nice in the condo. We did sleep with the AC on in the bedroom as my husband preferred it, but I could have just slept fine with the fans blowing and lanai open.
Location of he condo is great, it was an easy walk across the street to Charley Young Beach, which is the north end of Kamaole Beach park 1. Our first time swimming at the beach and we saw two turtles swim past us. Even though it seemed like a busy day on charley young, there was still plenty of room on the beach to hang out and I loved that the condo had beach chairs and an umbrella which we used when we were at that beach. Also, my husband and I went everywhere on Maui and felt that that Kihei and the condo location was a great centralized area and close to the highway to get to all over the island.
overall it was a great location, parking was great anytime of the day, condo was nice and clean (no bugs seen at all), and ac in bedroom was nice. Definitely worth a stay woth a beach across the street and great location if you want to see all over Maui.
