I would definitely recommend this place for a single traveler or couple. It’s a one bedroom apartment in Kihei Bay Vista Condos.
- Everything as pictured, clean, quiet, easy self check in and check out. Very comfortable queen bed in the bedroom with extra bedding.
- Great communication. It’s managed by a group, and they checked in on us almost everyday by email or text.
- Extras that aren’t with every Airbnb and so appreciated: washer and dryer in unit, beach towels, quality beach chairs and umbrellas. This really made for a great beach day!
- Free parking. We never had trouble finding a spot in May even when we came back late.
- SEA TURTLES! This is across the street from a protected area where sea turtles can be spotted everyday on the rocks. We saw at least 10 every day.
- Convenient access to great Kihei restaurants and beaches by bus or car. A couple of our favorites that are lesser known were Wow wow Hawaiian Lemonade for acai bowls and Da Kitchen for Korean/Japanese food. So many popular restaurants like Paia fish market and coconut’s as well.
- 20 min drive from airport. A little over an hour by bus (ask for day pass when paying if you go this route. Cash only/exact change)
- We really liked staying in Kihei as a central jumping off point for Maui attractions. It’s a quieter feel compared to resort areas of Kaanapali or Wailea.
Other comments:
- Yes this seems expensive. But that’s Maui prices for you. It seems reasonable compared to others in the area.
- We had an issue with a slow draining tub. I emailed at night, and it was fixed early the next morning. So they’re very responsive!
Hope this helps you!
