Kihei is WONDERFUL and this apartment is located right in the heart of everything. Walk right out the door and BAM.. beach, food, shopping, beach rentals.. everything you need!
This apartment, however, is just... alright. I went back and forth about whether I should rate this place a 3* or 4* and ultimately went with 4* because, common, it’s Maui. But this condo was a 3*. Pictures do look just like the place, but it doesn’t show a few things.
First of all.. if you’re looking for a comfortable place to kick up your heels after a long day of beaching, hiking, snorkeling, or whatever- this couch is NOT the place. Honestly one of the most uncomfortable couches I’ve ever sat on. On that same note, the bed was awful. Yes, it’s a king size and you can totally sprawl out, but I didn’t get a good night sleep on that bed the entire week we were there. On top of that, don’t expect to sleep past 5:30/6 am because garbage trucks apparently come around everyday at that time and it is unreal how loud it is in the apartment. And since you have to keep the bedroom windows open at night because the AC unit is on the opposite side of the apartment, you hear everything loud and clear. Also, something I found odd was that there wasn’t a fan in the bathroom, so anytime we showered we left the door wide open so we didn’t cause more damage to the already damaged bathroom ceiling. Basically what I’m saying is this place needs an upgrade and some handyman work, and honestly, I don’t know why it hasn’t been done already.
If I did it again, I would not stay in this apartment. I’m so sorry for the mostly negative review, it’s not something I like to do, but to be fair to potential future guests, I have to. Great location, amazing beach, but if you can find something else in this area, do it.
