Highly recommended for anyone coming to stay at Maui!
Let’s start with the location: prime as it is in right in the middle of the island in Kihei, you can go to Lahaina, Paia, and Haleakala all within reasonable times. There are shops such a as foodland, costco, and longs drugs (CVS) all within 20 min radius so, super convenient. There are great restaurants near by too like Paia fish market and Nalu’s,
The apartment: everything really is all included here; a full kitchen to cook and makes meals, 2 full bathrooms, laundry (God send) to wash (and you’ll need it with the activities you’ll do and the sweating from that and the weather), 2 rooms, and pull out couch so plenty of spaces to sleep and lounge. They provide all the towels, beach equipments, and heck even laundry pods for you. FYI, if you’re using a hair dryer, don’t run it at the same time… it’ll short circuit (there is a power outlet on the back of the mirror by the entrance)
Your backyard is literally a beachfront Keaka beach; beautiful scenery and (cloud pending) wonderful sunset you can see. You get a pool that’s condo members only which you will have access to as well.
Host and communication: as all the other reviews have mentioned, communication is at it’s best. Lisa really is a great communicator and is also very flexible. We were able to get both early check in and later check out and she accommodated our stay so that we can enjoy Maui at it’s max. If it wasn’t for her flexibility and fast communication, we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy Maui when we touched down from airport as well as the last day as we had a late flight. Best host I’ve had so far!
Things to improve: the checking in for parking is a bit… annoying (lack of better terms). The office is only open Mon-Fri (yes, no weekends) and hours of 9-2. If you’re a tourist like me, I’m out the door by 7 am and not back until 7-8 that night cause I’m enjoying my time. They do say leave your unit and departure date for temporary use but, I just couldn’t get in to see them; they just left papers on the car. If you’re able to get to them great, if not, i would just bring a pen and paper just in case.
One more things is for the apartment itself. It might be because the condo is near water, the master bedroom has a bit of a mild moldy smell and the carpet is a bit dirty looking. I wore house sandals the whole time i was there. The person sleeping on the couch might be awakened from the lack of cover from the blinds as there were a couple linings missing.
Other than a couple of mild annoyances, this place is great. Highly recommended that you use this place for your stay in Maui!
