Romelle was a fantastic host with such a useful eye for detail. Her notes for the condo even included precise instructions on where the unit was in the building. Sure we could've looked at the door numbers and counted and done some hunting to find it, but her simple "left here, this many stairs, right there, this many stairs" in a complex where things all look the same -- so useful! Makes such a good impression when a host predicts not only questions or concerns that you might contact them for, but even something as simple as finding the unit -- which you probably wouldn't have called them about, but might've wasted precious vacation time doing!

Romelle is a great communicator, and even gave us a personal phone call the first day to make sure we knew where to get the best fish and chips and gave us a tip for our waterfall hunt. We had a pretty full schedule and didn't need to get in touch, but she made it clear she was accessible for both things related to the condo and also for information and advice about what to do in Maui. Very cool!

The condo was great. Gorgeous big kitchen and living room with a balcony facing the ocean. Everything was spotlessly clean. For a long trip like ours, access to a washer dryer in the unit was so useful! The tub/shower looks standard, but will surprise you with some forceful water pressure. Super useful for cleaning the hair with all the ocean swimming and hiking we were doing.

Kihei (the town) is on the dry side of the island so perfect swimming weather was available daily. The town has everything you'd need as far as food/shops and it's only 20 minutes from the airport.

Further the condo itself is walking distance from great restaurants. (Walking distance to Koiso Sushi Bar -- get your reservation way in advance if you want in!) We've stayed places that said "walk to the beach" but the beach you could walk to wasn't fit for swimming. The beach in front of this condo is awesome for swimming -- soft, powdery white sand and extended shallows. Grassy area with benches if you just want to take in the view.

Thank you, Romelle, for being a wonderful host and for sharing your awesome space with us. We were on a photography quest and Maui is a MUST for amazing sunsets. Haleakala took our breath away - we can't wait to come back!
