If there is a super-superhost status then Barb surely deserves it! Staying here for a month was a rare delight from start to finish. Even a couple issues we had were swiftly addressed and dealt with.
The place was flawless -- everything was maintained in sparkling condition. The 1br condo has a very comfortable layout for a couple (with a pool- and ocean-facing deck and a Jack and Jill bathroom), is thoughtfully furnished, and fully equipped for a prolonged stay. The kitchen is spacious, with a big island countertop and dual sinks. Although the housing complex itself is old, all the amenities such as whisper-quiet ceiling A/C units, the stove/microwave and the countertops feel delightfully freshly renovated and high quality. At one point a kitchen bar chair broke but it was fixed within a day by Barb's family. It feels like a home built for living, rather than a unit for renting out.
The spacious common grounds feature a grill and a sizable pool exclusive to this (rather small, 2-story) housing complex; there is a shower by the poor. There are deckchairs and tables, which are perfect to use past 3pm when that side of the pool is in the shade. Parking was abundant and we were able to always park in the spot closest to our unit. From the parking is an exterior staircase leading to the 2nd floor and the unit itself. A hose for washing off beach sand is thoughtfully installed next to the stairs. There is a laundry room nearby. Thanks to this being a tiny housing complex, all amenities are right there (no walking needed) and were always available.
The location is perfect - sheltered from road noise but a 1-minute walk to the beach and a 5-minute walk to an ancient oceanside fishery that is home to dozens of sea turtles. Safeway is a 5-minute drive away, as is downtown Kihei. The location is a perfect home base for exploring the rest of the island -- it's central with easy access to both West and East Maui. Meanwhile, the weather in Kihei is some of the best on the island. Being slightly north of downtown Kihei also saves you from being stuck in traffic when leaving/returning from cross-island trips.
Most highly recommended, and thanks so much for an amazing stay!
