This property was as described in the listing - clean, comfortable for our family of four, and conveniently located on the Kihei strip.
We were about a 2-minute walk to a beautiful, secluded beach which was the perfect first and last stop each day of our stay in Maui (the kids enjoyed walking along the shoreline in the early mornings- one morning we saw the most magnificent rainbow 🌈 over the mountaintop - and we loved watching the sunsets in the evenings).
The entire condo was well stocked with absolutely everything we needed - from beach gear, toys, chairs, boogie boards, a huge cooler bag we used everyday (because bottled water is expensive on the island ha) - to a FULLY stocked kitchen AND bathrooms - to extra blankets, towels, pillows, and even two yoga mats, which I used daily!!! They even had put a few Disney records in the record collection for my kids to enjoy. Our 6-year-old had never seen a record player ha, and our teenager LOVED listening to John Denver!
There were both card and board games galore, we loved playing UNO on the beach, Jenga on the GORGEOUS patio overlooking the green space and mountains in the distance, and our daughter had a blast with all the fun coloring pages.
The beds were comfortable (especially the master), and the couch was very soft and cozy as well.
The on-site washer and dryer was right down the steps and although it was $2.50 to do a load of laundry, Erik and Yuriko had the laundry soap and even fabric softener sheets for us to use, which was very helpful. Also, I did several loads during our stay and never had to wait to use either the washing machine or the dryers.
Erik and Yuriko were exceptional hosts, responding quickly to any questions we had and even provided us several pages of restaurant, beach, and activity recommendations both in advance and again once we arrived, all of which were spot on. We loved the local places they recommended - Akamai coffee shop (please try the Hawaiian honeybee latte if you go!), Tasty Crust, Kihei Caffe, and Cafe O’Lei were a few favorites! And we appreciated the tips they provided as well! They even added a few cold bottled waters and La Croix in the fridge as a welcome gift.
Would definitely stay again!
