We were very satisfied with the condo; it was as represented in the pictures and in very good condition upon arrival (both clean and updated). The check-in process was very easy (and use of a passcode for the door was easier than traditional keys), and the host was very quick to respond to any inquiries, and provided all the info we needed ahead of time, and even emailed us additional information about attractions and conveniences nearby. The grounds were well tended with a nice pool and hot tub, and the area felt very safe. Location was right across from a sandy beach, where you could go for a quick swim or watch the sunset (but there are better beaches for day trips that you can drive to). I would recommend a car as the town of Kihei is spread out along a long stretch, so getting around by car or scooter (or bike) is easier than walking. Kihei is also a good base town from which to explore the island because of its somewhat central location (and overall good sunny weather!) and convenience of amenities nearby including both grocery stores and a variety of restaurants. The unit was also stocked with all the beach stuff you could possible desire: towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, 'noodles' for floating, multiple pairs of masks, snorkels and fins, and even a cooler or two! Incredibly thoughtful and convenient!
Overall, I feel that we received a good value with this condo, had all the conveniences of home while on vacation, and the management of the unit and compound were very prompt, professional and welcoming! We would definitely stay here again!
Mahalo Viktoria!
