First of all Pam is a great host. We made our reservations over a year ago pre-Covid. As the world turned upside down and travel was restricted and uncertain. I would reach out to her and she continued to Keene updated on what was evolving and assured me that she would work with me and cancel our trip if needed. She traveled there and walked me through the process. We flew to Maui via Denver on United. We got our Covid 19 tests within 72 hours before our flight left Denver. We uploaded our results and were screened in Denver. When we arrived we went right to baggage claim , picked up our rental and was in Kihei within 30 minutes. Others had to wait hours in line at the OGG airport.
I had reached out to Pam and asked for recommendations for entertainment and dining. First of all, one of her suggestions was Fleetwood’s in Lahaina, it’s owned by Mick Fleetwood, a must do. She also recommended Mama,s Fish Houses, Kihei Cafe, Duke’s and others. We made all of our reservations a month in advance but I would suggest you do it even more advanced than that.
Pam’s condo is centrally located and it’s an easy walk to a couple of beaches. Kamaole 1 and Charlie Young were 3 minute walk away. Kamaole 2, just a few more minute walk, Kamaole 3 is about .40 mile walk. There are many restaurants near by in both directions. We loved happy hour 3-7 at Moose Mcgillicuttys, sports bar.
The condo is on the first floor with a small lanai with a couple chairs. The condo is nicely upgraded with two bedrooms each having its own bathroom which was very nice. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of sheets, towels as well as a large stack washer and dryer.
The kitchen was very nice and the cabinets were updated with granite counters. It had everything you need to cook as well as grill out by the pool. There was a cooler to take to the beach, as well as 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a beach umbrella and plenty of beach towels. Each room had both a fan as well as its own ac unit to use as needed.
We spent 4 weeks there, we were able to drive south 15 minutes to go to big beach in Makena. If you go check out the food trucks, outside the park for lunch. There were 2 we liked Jazzys Mexican Food truck. Fish tacos amazing, chorizo enchiladas off the chart.
You can be in Lahaina in 45 minutes, Ka’anapali in 60 and Napili in a little over an hour.
Overall we enjoyed our stay, we were thankful to Pam to help guide us and provide great suggestions as well as provide us an opportunity to enjoy her condo and this piece of paradise
