Great location, steps off Kamaole Beach II. We found lots of great nearby restaurants and food trucks, and were within walking distance to our excursion with Maui Snorkel Charters, which departs from the Kihei boat ramp. The space is rather small (essentially it’s a studio that has a bedroom, kitchen, and dining area squeezed into it), and my fiancé and I had a difficult time finding a place to lay our luggage out. We bought cereal for breakfasts, and I would not recommend doing more cooking than that, as dishes are done in a bucket or the vanity sink, and there really is not much room for chopping fruits or veggies.
Communication was very minimal which disappointed me greatly. I inquired about the functionality of the smart lock 24 hours before check in and got no response. When we arrived at approximately 3:15 and I informed the host the lock’s battery was less than 25% I also got no response. This was unsettling to me, and especially disappointing as the host specifies in the welcome documents she will be available from 3-4pm to assist with access issues/ questions/ concerns. We had some small issues with the linens and the toilet. The host did respond to these inquiries, but only after a few hours, did not apologize for the inconvenience, and did not try to promptly fix things (we were offered to have someone come Monday, when problems were noted at check-in on Saturday). I understand they may manage the property from a distance and Saturday is the weekend, but if you have staff that cleans before new guest arrivals on the weekend you have staff that can bring new linen or tools for them to use on the weekend.
I might stay at this property again if the cost was right simply for location or convenience, but definitely not my favorite experience.
