3 BR, 3 BATH CONDO, MAUI SUNSET, KIHEI, MAUI

The view is outstanding. The condo is roomy, clean and is well-stocked with supplies. The furnishings/decor are somewhat dated but otherwise attractive.

For families, the pool and other facilities on premises were good. The desk/other staff were helpful.

The location, which is on a main road, is very central but also very busy. There is easy access to shopping, restaurants, and other services.

My daughter and I decided to spend Thanksgiving in Maui and found this condo available through VRBO. I am so happy that we chose this one. The owners were wonderful from the time I showed interest and throughout our stay. The condo has incredible views of the ocean, pool, lush landscaping and sunsets. The unit is huge. We were in this condo with 4 people and had a ton of space. My daughter and her friend spent their time surfing and hanging out in the pool and hot tub. They loved the pool and made friends with other kids that were staying in the complex. The concierge by the pool was able to give us great advice on things to do during our stay. We were able to rent an underwater camera from the concierge for 24 hours for only $30. The price included all of the photos (272) being uploaded to a CD (2 CD's). This was a great addition for the kids.

After checking out and going to the airport, my daughter and I were not able to leave and ended up having to stay in Maui for an extra 2 days. I was concerned about where we would be able to stay and fortunately I was able to call the owner direct and they allowed us to return to the condo. Prior to our initial arrival, I spoke with the owner and he gave me great advice on what to do and where to go.

I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a place to stay. I will definitly be back!!!

6 of us stayed here - absolutely loved it - great location! great unit! Super clean - everything you would need: mask/snorkel sets, beach umbrella, books to read. Our hosts had also provided a large selection of local information magazines and even a CD guide for the Road to Hana. Our hosts were very helpful & easy to work with .... we wish we had had a chance to meet face to face.
It was perfect for 6 people as each two people had their own bathroom. The well laid out floor plan is such that each bedroom has privacy. The master bedroom has windows on 2 sides, thus a great ocean view, and with windows open and sliding glass door open, no need for a/c while we were there. The other 2 bedrooms have sliding glass doors but they open to the walkway...not really a concern as no one is walking by since this is an end unit.
Kihei Cafe for breakfast, a short drive away; Peggy Sue's '50s Diner complete with tableside juke boxes close by and on our last night, Stella Blues for dinner across the street from Peggy Sue's about a mi. There are several franchised restaurants within a 5-7 min. drive (Outback, Ruby Tuesdays...) but we preferred to avoid franchises and try more "local" lunch and dinner spots.
The local "tented market" is just down the road as were several sandy beaches, in either direction. Would definitely recommend this owner/unit to anyone going to Maui - excellent location not too far from anywhere including the airport which is about 10 or 15 min. drive. The predicted tsunami (Oct 27), fortunately did not materialize but we evacuated and residents in the complex were kind and helpful about what to do and where to go.
One of the highlights of our stay was spotting a sea turtle making its way to the beach-very tiny beach in a residential area (south of Makena Bch) that you would not know was there....I can't give more explicit directions, as the place might be overrun with visitors & that would spoil it. Attractions: I like nature- thus the drive up to the summit (Haleakala National Park) was awesome as was the view from the 2nd lookout point (Leleiwi Overlook -go a short distance on a path to the shelter) on the way up. The drive up the west coast of Maui to Nakaleue Pt. and a bit beyond is marvelous- not to be missed. Nor Iao Valley. Baldwin House & the Wo Hing museum have some history on the Lahaina area - the latter has Thomas Edison b&w films re sugar cane industry. BTW no visitor book seems to have all things so read them all.
