ULTRA LUXURY BEACHFRONT HOME -

We can't say enough about Mike and Cecelia's home in Kihea. I found them on Homeaway.com while looking for a 3 bedroom for my wife and I to celebrate our 40th anniversary with our grown children. The house was impeccably clean and welcoming with all the furnishings and a kitchen that our chef son loved. The lanai's were the perfect place to enjoy the Hawaiian weather, have meal outside or have drinks and watch the setting sun over the ocean. The lawns and landscaping were also perfectly groomed.
This house is in a great location on the west coast of Maui, close to everything. Mike and Cecelia were great hosts, working with our arrival and departures. We would come back here to stay in a heartbeat or in any of their other properties.
Don't pass on the opportunity to stay here!!

We had a very nice stay at this luxury home. The house was large and the beds were comfortable. The house was very nice and did feel luxurious. The two decks (one in front, one in back) were very nice to sit on and grill (in the back) or watch the sunset (in the front). There was a crib in the closet and a booster chair (though I was told they did not provide these amenities when I booked the house). There was ample towels, dishes, etc. There was a laundry room on site, with an extra toilet and shower in case 2 people need to shower simultaneously. The house is right across the street (a somewhat busy street) from the beach and there were beautiful sunsets. The farmer's market and an ABC store are within walking distance. However, there isn't much else in terms of restaurants or stores within walking distance. Overall, we would recommend this home and would return.

We only had a few things we wish we would have known (but we still probably would have chosen this house, I just think reviews are helpful if they include any drawbacks as well, which there will be with any property). First, the beach across the street is great for walking on and watching sunsets, but when we were there, it was a bit too windy and rough for swimming and lounging much. We drove south 2 miles to beaches that were a little nicer. I just wish we could have walked to a really nice beach. Second, I expected a large property with houses far apart, but the 3 houses on the property are pretty close together. However, there was no problem with noise and everyone has their own patio and the luxury house has a very nice front and side yard to itself (the back 2 houses have a nice backyard they share). Third, the sound really carries in this house. This wasn't a huge problem, but with a sleeping baby, everyone else had to be super quiet as even with the bedroom doors shut, we could hear people talking in the living room.

Again, overall, this really is a nice property and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Mike and Cecelia's home was absolutely as advertised, and it was amazing. We were on vacation there for my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. There were 5 adults in the home, my Mom and Dad, younger brother, my wife and I. The home was clean and well stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen to cook when we weren't taking in the excellent food on Maui. One minor suggestion would be to add a DVD player to the house. A few nights, after busy days, we hung out at the house, and being able to pop in a movie would have been great. This is a minor suggestion only, and in no way detracts from what a great vacation home they have. We would definitely come back. We definitely recommend their home highly !
