Let’s start with the good - this place has a lot of amenities such as laundry, a full kitchen, and a lot of supplies for the beach such as sunscreen, towels, a chair, bogey board. The balcony is also nice to sit on for a few meals, though two people fit snuggly. For the price, you really can’t beat it with its central location to everything in Kihei.
The bad: for sensitive sleepers like us - the AC in the bedroom was too loud. It would turn off and on through the night and wake us up no matter what setting we tried to put it on. The lighting was also harsh since the bedroom is near the main hallway and so the corridor lights are on and the curtains are very thin so the light seeped in.
Check-in and communication gets 4 stars. Dan could have sent the check-in instructions through the Airbnb Apple most Airbnb hosts do. Instead, it was sent to my email and so we didn’t get the instructions and had to call him in the middle of the night and I could tell he was impatient with me. Well, the solution would be just to send check-in instructions to the guests through the app as well.
The cleaning fee is ridiculous. Why charge us if we have to do the dishes, run a load of laundry and take out all the trash?
This place is borderline 4 and 5 stars, so we were generous and gave it 5 stars even though there are many factors that would make it 4 stars as well.
