This was our second trip to Kihei, and our second condo rental.
Initially this place was fantastic. I appreciated having the key code to get access rather than having to carry around keys.
However, as the days go on, things came up that made us less than thrilled about the condo.
-the air conditioning. Not only is there only one AC unit for the entire unit, meaning neither of the bedrooms ever get cool, but there’s a 4 hour max timer added to the AC. So if you leave for more than 4 hours (ie: road to Hana) be prepared to come back to a sweltering condo.
-the washer and drier. We were thrilled to have an in unit washer and drier. We saw this in the ad and planned to bring half the clothes we were going to and to wash our clothes part way through. However, the washer smelled like the worst mildew I’ve ever experienced. And the drier didn’t dry the clothes and vented directly into the unit, making it even hotter than it already was with the max 4 hour AC. We had to pay for the inconvenience of a laundromat because of this.
-bugs. During the course of our stay, we had to clean up dead ants daily. Like 15 ants a day at least. And we found 2 dead cockroaches. One in the closet with the drier, and one showed up right next to my bed on day 5. That lead us to believe the owner was aware of the bug issue and likely sprayed something and didn’t let us know. What if we had kids that were crawling around?
Overall, not super impressed with our stay and likely wouldn’t stay again.
