Hien's condo in Wailea welcomes you with the Aloha spirit! The condo is located in a beautiful condo complex in Wailea, just twentyfive or so minutes from the airport, and neighbors to Kihei. I booked this condo because it looked clean, airy, and comfortable from the photos, and that is exactly what we got. The photos are true to the space and you will not be disappointed. One step onto the lanai will make take you directly in to vacation mode, with a perfect view of Molokini and the pacific. Seriously the view is stunning and I'm sure during whale watching season you can see them while you sip your morning coffee. We were there in mid May, so no whales, but perfect views daily.
I traveled with my entire family, seven people in total, including an infant and a toddler. We were all extremely comfortable in the downstairs bedrooms, which have lots of space. I stayed in the bedroom with one king bed and was able to fit two cribs, which I rented from Maui Baby Rentals, and had plenty of additional space for luggage and moving about. There were also plenty of bathrooms, two downstairs and one upstairs, all with showers, which was perfect for the amount of people we had. No one was ever waiting to shower or use the bathroom.
The condo is also incredibly well stocked. Nothing is missing from the kitchen, the bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, and body wash on hand. There are more then enough bath and beach towels and there is a washer and dryer to keep you up to speed. Lastly, there's a nifty little closet downstairs with beach chairs, beach toys, a cooler, umbrellas, and a couple pool noodles.
Another perk, in a list of perks, is the location. The condo is walking distance from the Wailea mall and an ABC market, if you're in a pinch, but if you're in need of a more affordable grocery store, just hop in your car and drive ten minutes to a Foodland or Safeway. We didn't walk to any beaches, mostly because of the kids and gear, but drove only a few minutes to Keawakapu Beach. We loved this beach for it's beauty, snorkeling, sea turtles, accessibility, and easy parking.
Hien is also a marvelous host. She answered all my questions within minutes and keeps the check in and out process very easy. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.
