Great location and accomodation on a budget.

This is a great condo if you are on a budget. The beach is just a short walk away as are resturants and shops. During our visit we found it best to arrive on the beach early as the trade winds picked up around midday resulting in sand being blown around a bit. The Condo has well maintained grounds with two pools, although we never used them as the ocean was so close. The condo itself was comfortable, the main room was bright with views from the Lanai, left the mountain and right the ocean. The Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were a little tired but for the price we had no complaints. It was all clean and had everything we needed. You do need to ensure the windows are open to get the cross breeze, this worked fine for us. If you want to see Maui and stay on a budget you can't go wrong with this condo and its location.
Some Tips:
Grocery shopping - Go to Safeway, off the main highway, it's cheaper than any of the local stores and has a great variety.
Beach - lots to choose from but would go early or later in the day to avoid the winds.
Aqarium - Worth a visit.
Hana Highway - amazing well worth the drive
Lastly Thanks Bill for letting us use your Condo, we had a great vacation...

This was our first trip to Maui and we were very happy with this condo. The location was great -- the beach is beautiful and there are lots of restaurants and amenities in the vicinity,
The condo was clean and very well equipped and was perfect for our needs. So glad we found this accommodation and will definitely return and highly recommend it.

We really enjoyed the condo and its convenient location to the beach, shopping and resturants. The snorkeling between Kam II and Kam III was very good. A local indicated there were also some sea turtles in the area but I had already swam with one for 20 minutes so I did not follow her out to the site..
You have a good view of the beach and can see the lava outcropping between the two beaches.
The temperature was around 80 degrees and sunny during our visit in May and sleeping was very comfortable. We turned the overhead fan on and opened the window. This provided good air circulation from the front to the back of the unit. On some nights we were actually cold and used a blanket.
We hope to come back sometime as the Aquarium in La Parouse Bay was closed for an environmental study

Thank you very much for letting us use your condo. My wife and I had a wonderful time in Maui, and your condo was perfect for us. We enjoyed the breakfast on the lanai, and the beach and shopping were right there.
Thank you again, and hope to be back.

This condo complex is conveniently located across the street from the beach, calm water in the morning, windy and big waves in the afternoon. You're in great company with many tourists and the Hawaii sunshine! If you're not familiar with Maui, you may want to know this unit, like many in Kihei, is located on a strip mall of condos and stores, so it's great for walking down the hill and across the street to the beach as a home base. You might make an extra trip if you're hauling beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, boogie boards, etc...
This was my first trip to Maui, so I'm not sure how this condo compares with the many other accommodations there. The unit itself is sweet and small- kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room. The kitchen is well stocked with dishware and glasses. The bed was uncomfortable and the bedroom had no air conditioner and was very hot. We moved into the living room and slept on the futon, which was better than the bed and not ideal. The air conditioner is in the living room, located at floor level and is blocked by the entertainment center. There are ceiling fans in the bedroom and living room.
The property was mostly clean when we arrived- some sand on the futon couch, and when we opened it for sleeping, found a dirty floor that had been covered up by the couch.
The view from the lanai was of another condominium complex and accompanying parking lot. It is not easy to comfortably access the sea view in the advertisement.
I had paid for 12 nights, and unfortunately, due to a terrible emergency, had to leave Maui after only 4 nights. I had hoped for a partial refund and the owner made me an unspecified offer for a deal if/when I return.
Everything about this condo was adequate. There was nothing special about it.
There's a nice health food store nearby. Two books we recommend: Snorkel Bob's Reality Guide to Hawaii, and Maui Revealed. We brought our own boogie boards and went to the beach and it was FUN! Wished we could have stayed and found better boogie board beaches!!

Owner's Response: This condo is in a fantastic location with immediate beach access. Shopping a restaurants are right next door. The guest admits to being a first timer to Maui, and of course did not know what to expect. She stayed in a wonderful, fully equipped condo, with air conditioning, 3 fans in the bedroom, and also fans in living room. The condo is extremely well maintained by professionals, and the grounds withing the complex are gorgeous. There are 2 swimming pools, a tennis court and outstanding grilling facilities.
Her unfortunate departure was not expected, and I assured her that she would be well looked after if she were to want to return at any time. I tried to please her, and hope she will return.
Her comment about being "nothing special" unfortunately is not a fair one, as everything is special. The condo has beautiful bamboo hardwood flooring, updated appliances and a wonder feeling to it. Obviously she needs to stay at other condos, and pay a lot more money to appreciate what she was offered. You cannot find a top floor unit with this type of convenience at this price.
Thank you and Aloha everyone.

Aloha Bill.
Your condo was absolutely fantastic.We were extrmemly pleased, and our vacation in Kihei was absolutely wonderful. Your new renovations looked beautiful, and the bamboo flooring was a unique touch.
The view from your condo was MAGNIFICANT! We ate breakfast and supper on the lanai every night.
We look forward to being in touch with you again when we come back to Maui.
Thank you so much.
