About Mark Engler

My girl friend and I fell in love with this place the first time we saw it. Monique grew up in NY. She has traveled all over the world. I (Mark) grew up and still live near Lake Erie in Western NY. I've done some traveling, but nowhere near as much as Monique. Monique has been to Maui more times than she can count. Shortly after we met in 2006, she asked me if I would like to go to Hawaii (she didn't have to ask twice) and we have gone every year since. We love it in Western NY but we say we always feel better when we're in Maui (probably because we're not working). Some day we will very likely retire in Maui and probably in this condo, but in the mean time, we would like you to experience the luxury of our condo when we can not be there.

Mark Engler purchased this condo in 2012
Why Mark Engler chose Kihei

North Kihei is probably the most central location with the best climate anywhere on the island. It's quieter than the hotel areas in South Kihei, but only minutes from anywhere you may want to go.

What makes this condo unique

I didn't have great expectations when I walked through the door the first time. We had looked at five other condos that morning, most of which made me sick at the thought of what it cost to own a piece of paradise. On the outside it looked pretty plain, but when the realtor opened the door we couldn't believe our eyes, it was clean, it had really nice furnishings and the appliances were top of the line. The views were amazing. Monique and I knew we found our place in paradise. We always thought we wanted to be in South Kihei, but we have realized it's always too busy when we were trying to get somewhere else on the island. It's much easier to get anywhere from North Kihei,and we're still real close to all that Kihei has to offer.

First trip to Maui

This was our first trip to Maui and we will go back again some day. We loved the condo and found it to be central to beaches, shopping, dining, and major thoroughfares. The condo was clean and welcoming when we got there.The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great! The kitchen was well equipped so we could eat dinner at home and relax after a busy day out and about. We loved the access to the beach to watch the sunsets. Just around the corner, we found a small rocky bay where turtles rested in the sun and played in the water. It was so fun to watch them up close. We would certainly recommend the trip up to Haleakala Crater (but bring a sweater shirt - it was very cold up there for mid May) and the drive to Hana specifically the Oheo Gulch for the waterfall pool and hike. Be prepared for a challenging drive to Hana - it took us 4 hours but we stopped at just about every lookout/scenic spot. It was a twelve hour day!! Mark also provided us with a list of "things to do" which was a good guide for us, particularly for snorkeling. "Amigos" delivers great Mexican food and the "Round Table" pizza was delicious also. We would definitely recommend this condo and area for vacationing couples and families!!

Aloha. My husband, son and I stayed at this condo in Kihei for nine nights in April 2013. Absolutely loved it. The location of this condo was fantastic. Right across the street from a beach that was rarely busy. We enjoyed spending the early morning looking for turtles in the fish pond near the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale Sanctuary. We saw several. Easy access to the highways to take you all over the island. The condo is just like the pictures and is clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfy and we only turned the air conditioning on once for about 15 minutes when we first got there, We are from a cold climate so our first night off the plane seemed so hot to us.Once we were acclimatized we never used it again. The cross breeze from the bedroom through the living room was awesome! The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean, it was a great way to spend an hour in the evening after a busy day in the sun. Mark very nice and easy to deal with and provided some very helpful tips for things to do in the area.
The only negative, as mentioned in other reviews, was the traffic noise. If you’re looking for quiet then this is not the place for you. It didn’t bother me too much and when I return to Maui I would definitely rent from Mark again. Thanks Mark!

One week was not enough. This place is just what is described and true to the pictures. We found it to be clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The washer and dryer came in handy. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows and the living room couches. We loved the shower and the lighting options. The location was perfect for us. We walked across to the Whale Museum and to the beach where we were lucky to experience many whale sightings! Grocery stores, restaurants, beaches, sunsets... It’s all nearby! Mark was very helpful in supplying useful information about the condo and the surrounding area, answering my many questions and could always be reached! As the information indicated, this condo is close to the road and yes, there is some noise, but nothing we couldn’t deal with. We were still able to enjoy sitting out on the lanai, swim in the pool or relax in the hot tub.
We took the road to Hana and hiked into the rainforest and to some remote beaches. The snorkeling at Molokini Crater was great. The fish taco’s at Coconut’s are unforgettable and Mama’s Fish House was a nice way to celebrate our anniversary. (So many activities!)
This was a first time going through VRBO and we were pleased with our experience. I would (and have) recommend this condo to family and friends.

Just okay

We stayed for six nights in this condo and found it to be extremely noisy because it is so close to the main road. The renos of the kitchen and bathroom are very nice but the living room furniture is very dated and needs replacing. They also need to get new bedroom pillows as the ones they have are worn out, flat and hard! The location is nice and close to a quiet beach and was a great place to walk over and watch the sunset. Unfortunately the traffic was so noisy that it made sitting out on the lanai irritating.
Owner's Response: We have to admit it's disheartening to get a less than perfect review, the real shame is the guest never contacted us. We know we could have done something if we knew they were not having the vacation of their life.
We like flatter, firmer pillows, but we sent out our cleaning person to pick up some new ones so you will have a choice. We think the living room may be eclectic, we do not think dated is the right word. The sofa bed is retro, but very comfortable. We can't do much about the road noise if you want to be near the ocean, it bothers some people more than others. We are not usually home during the day. In the evening it is much quieter and we love waking up listening to the waves rolling into shore in the morning.
We know it is a cliche', but we would like to say "If there is a problem, tell us about it, If everything is perfect, then tell everyone else. Mahalo.

Great value, good location, Nicely done remodeling.and well equiped unit

Over about 20 years we have been renting condos in Hawaii and have stayed at many places in Kihei.Our objective is to get the best value which to us is close to the water,good furnishings,pool, hot tub, and a good bed with the possibility of an ocean view.This unit met our expectations .The unit was very nicely equipped [beach chairs,beach towels boogie boards mats snorkel equipment etc... Beautiful bathroom with a fantastic shower that was unique for a Maui rental property. Well equipped kitchen, nice pool and great hot tub.Met some nice people down by the bbq gtrill. Nice sandy beach is literally 50 yards across the street to swim or view the sunset. The only downside is that the unit is so close to the beach that you are right on the street which can be noisy. Overall,of all the places we have stayed in Kihei, I would give this property a thumbs up and would stay there again.
