Dan’s condo is such a gem! We have stayed in a lot of rentals in the past 5 years— my fiancé and I agree that this place has been our favorite.
First, location. It is only about 20 mins from the airport. Parking was easy (at all times if the day); you never had to fight for a spot. Beachfront, so we made sure to sleep with the glass doors open to hear the waves at night. It is also close to everything you need! We frequented the Kihei Farmers Market for fruit in the mornings, then went to the beaches/restaurants/food trucks about 5-10 mins away. Markets for souvenirs, groceries, toiletries were also in the same vicinity. With that being said.. although there were a lot of things around the condo, the condo never felt crowded/loud. It was a peaceful condo in the mornings and night. Loved hearing the birds!
Second thing, amenities available to us. He has beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, and coolers. We also love to cook, so the fact that this kitchen had everything we needed to make meals— was a plus!! So many pots pans, containers, etc. They also have a functional coffee maker, toaster oven, and water heater. The bathroom/shower was clean and immaculate. The bed very soft and comfortable, with lots of sheets to replace it if needed. The living room with a comfortable couch and large tv. The place was also so beautifully styled! We loved all the photos and paintings up on the walls.
Lastly, Dan’s communication throughout it all was what we appreciated the most. He sent very detailed check in instructions. He also had rules/expectations printed out nicely and waiting for us in the kitchen. His rules never felt overwhelming—they were truly more about caring for the place and respecting those around us. We felt the same respect from other people that lived/rented there.
We are already planning on our next trip here! Thank you again, Dan, for making this trip so smooth, beautiful, and magical. Mahalo!!
