HAWAIIAN CHARMER! KIHEI TOWN 3 BEDROOM, 2 BATH HOME

This property was excellent for five adults, constituting two couples and a single . The online pictures do not do the place justice in terms of spaciousness, attractive decor, really well-appointed kitchen and barbecue facilities, large bathrooms and large bedrooms with comfortable beds.The extras provided for our use-beachtowels and chairs-were most useful. The place is well situated within easy walking to local resources such as the grocery store, ice cream and pizza places, restaurants, rentals for surfing or snorkeling, etc. We were fortunate to have quiet neighbours in the two smaller rentals on the same property. We rented a car- almost a must at this location I would think. We would be happy to recommend this place to anyone, and would certainly encourage any other family members of ours to look at this place first. Our adult kids loved it. Bring a sweater- breezes can be cool even for Hawaii, especially after sundown.Attractions- if your vacation stay is no more than a week, don't bother with the trip to Hana. It is VERY congested, and any of the roadside pullouts are too jammed with other cars to get out and do the scenic hikes off the road that the guide books rave about.The nearby Thai restaurant has outstanding food. Pacific Whale Foundation is the best whale watching outfit. Definitely plan your snorkeling better than we did- ask for the best times to go out to avoid strong sand filled waves on the beach limiting visibility, or pay the money for a guided snorkel tour (which we didn't)- we were disappointed. The most affordable golf also has some of the best ocean views you can imagine on almost all the holes at the Waeihu Municipal Course. Hope Marie was a great resource, checked in with us frequently to see if we needed anything, helpful information.

Overall our stay was wonderful, had a little trouble with the bathroom (pocket) door, but thanks to our hostess she had the maintenance guy come over and it was taken care of it right away...on Thanksgiving! Our Hostess, Hope Marie was absolutely so wonderful and helpful, I really felt as though she would have (and did) solve any issues we may have had. Thanks again Hope...see you soon !

We are a family of eight and found the home to be enough space to sleep everyone comfortably. The home is in a great, quiet neighborhood. We were a little concerned that the home did not have air conditioning but found the trade winds, ceiling fans and open windows at night a great alternative. The kids range from 11-16 years of age and enjoyed the home, location and Maui during their first visit to Hawaii. They enjoyed exploring the yard and the ability to walk into town and the beach. Hope was a pleasure to meet and always available to help. Definitely a place we would recommend to friends and family while planning a return trip again in the future.
