This unit was our home for two weeks on our first ever trip to Maui. From the get-go communication with the owner was very clear and efficient. The price seemed exceptionally affordable so we kept our expectations pretty low (we didnt intend on spending too much time inside anyways), but our low expectations couldnt have been farther from the truth. We met people that spent more for one night to stay at a fancy hotel than we did for the entire two weeks. The unit is exactly as described, and after visiting the entire Island we realised that we were in the right place in Kihei, not too touristy, not too "wild and rural". When staying in someone else's home it is sometimes hard to feel cozy among other people's stuff, it took us about 5 minutes to feel at home here, at one end of the spectre it could have been plastered with pictures of children and family pets, or at the other end it could of had a "sanitized" hotel room feel... But it was just in the sweet spot in the middle! This part of town is a few steps from the cove park (beginner surfing) and the charley young beach, and a short drive (within 15 minutes) to MANY other beautiful beaches. The pool is extremely clean and beautiful and the grounds are well-kept. It was very quiet around and we werent bothered by other tenants. The owner provides you with a document of attractions and tips for your stay on Maui.PROS: SUNSET WALKS, Didnt have to bring/buy: towels, cooler, beach chairs... Owner provides all the books necessary to point you in the right direction on Maui (lonely planet etc...) Internet connection, local phone (handy for those order-in nights), breakfast & coffee on the Lanai, outdoor BBQ, Sansei sushi close by serves up some of the best sushi I've had, and so much more...CONS: Lack of a guestbook to thank the owners and describe our adventures to other visitorsAll in all we enjoyed our stay so much that when we spent time away from the unit we kepts saying jokingly "Life is good on walaka street" (hence the title of this review) partly because we are kinda stupid and one sentence always sticks with us on each and every one of our travels, but mostly because we found that we lucked out in terms of price, location, amenities, comfort, and much more...Thank you so much to the owners, we will definately see you again in the future (or our friends and families!)UNRELATED TIP: To all you surfers out there: DO NOT try and drive down to "Jaws" (Pea'hi) in a Ford Focus
Owner's Response: Thank you David and Valeska for the great review. We are currently on Maui and staying at our condo. We are updating with some new furniture, new curtains and some other added touches to make it even more "homey" and tropical so if we or our guests decide to stay in for the day or night, we still have the feel of the island around us. New pictures will be upcoming when we depart this beautiful island paradise on 10/20/11. It has been a great stay and to get this kind of review made us feel that much better and motivates us to keep improving our vacation home for us and our guests to have great memories that will last a lifetime. Mahalo & Aloha To you David & Valeska and to all of our other great guests we have had the opportunity to share our " little piece of paradise " with. Mac & Maria McClintick

Maui Stay - Kihei - September 2011
Submitted: September 19, 2011
Stayed: September 2011
I had the fortunate opportunity to have located this condo, centrally located in Kihei, on VRBO. Not only was the owner Mac very responsive to me throughout my booking propcess but also in information provided. The price was awesome also ! I was a solo traveler from San Diego and stayed from 9/8 through 9/15/11. The location is great, just 2 blocks off of South Kihei Road and thus 2 blocks from the beach. One can walk to downtown Kihei, the cove ( swim, rent stand-up paddle baords, surf, boogie board, out-rigger paddle etc. ), the beaches and even Starbucks and the cental Park in minutes. The condo itself was very clean, nicely decorated, free WiFi, comfortable bed and sheets, A/C, flat screen TV, nice furishings, upgraded applicances, patio. There was not one item that I found myself in need of. The parking space is conveniently located near the sidewalk. The Unit is located on the first floor ( total of 3 floors I recall .. ) which was extremely convenient for access. Very nice neighbors and very, very quiet both outside and inside of the unit. All in all, it was perfect. I look forward to staying there again in the future !!!

Owner's Response: Thank you Dean for the great review. This kind of response is what we strive for to hear from our guests. We make 2 trips a year to Maui not only to enjoy the island but also to keep updating and improving our condo so all of our guests enjoy it as much as we do. This response tells us that we are in fact making it better and it makes all of our efforts worth while. Thanks again Dean and we look forward to your next visit to Maui and at our condo.

wonderful, affordable, 2 min walk to Kihei beach
Submitted: July 11, 2011
Stayed: June 2011
Stayed here for a week in early June, and really enjoyed this cozy little condo.
Pro:
- Very clean, tidy
- Totally dig the novels and guide books left behind by other tenants
- has all the amenities you'd need for a comfy short-term stay in Maui; Towels, boogie boards, coolers, dishes/cookware, even spices! Just bring your suitcase and buy some soap, shampoo and sunscreen at Walmart on your way from airport to the condo.
- Complex has 1 parking spot, also nice electric grill, and pretty clean pool. The condo has a full size stove so you can cook every night if you want to
- Has a little lanai in the back so you can dine indoors or outdoors
- Mac and Maria (owners) were friendly, easy to deal with. My 1st renting a condo directly from owners, and I was 100% satisfied.
- Super convenient. Can walk to a great beach (just down the block), Foodland supermarket (5-10 min), restaurants/cafes, shops to get souvenirs. Kihei is a pretty lively strip, with lots of vacation rentals and tourists. Also Kihei is pretty central to all the highways, so you can take a short drive to all the cool Maui spots - Lahaina, Wailea, Road to Hana, Upcountry, etc.
Cons (note that many of these are beyond the control of the owners. I think they did a fantastic job making this place homey and comfy):
- A bit noisy. The complex is located a block from the major road (S Kihei Rd), but it's so quiet in Maui that you can hear everything, esp at night. Things also start early in Hawaii so at 6 am, you hear trucks, motorcycles, cars, etc, so it was hard to sleep in. Because the condo is on ground fl, you can hear some foot traffic and doors slamming. Most neighbors were friendly and considerate, but don't expect this place to be completely absent of noise.
- Kihei is kind of campy and touristy. My bf and I were looking for a more "local/Hawaiian" feel, and this town is just not it. Tons of tourists and Mainlanders on vacation. But I guess if we stayed in Hana, we wouldn't be this close to a huge super market. Thank goodness that Maui is small enough so we took plenty of day trips to find good local spots.
- This place is perfect for a single person or a couple. You really can't fit more in here, unless it's a small baby/child with own crib. The bed was really comfy, but it's only a full size :( I wish it was a queen bed!
Overall, I'd recommend this place for its value, cleanliness, and convenience to the beach and other regions of Maui

Owner's Response: 1st off, thank you Graciete for the kind review. We strive to make our guests feel as comfortable as possible. The guide books and novels are left by us. We just ask our guests if they haven't finished a novel and want to take it with them that is fine. Just replace it with 1 you may have brought. Concerning the cons. Our website addresses the fact that this is a condominium. There is going to be other people and there is going to some noise to an extent. We have also informed our guest through our information pages that for the best beach time, snorkel time, and any boating activities, get out early! If you go in the afternoon, the trade winds normally kick up and it is time to leave the beach activities and find something else to do. So yes, there is a lot of activity early. Do you really want to sleep away your stay in paradise? Our condo IS on the bottom floor. We had another condo in another complex that was on the 4th floor. Even with an elevator, do you realize how may trips up and down the elevator to take a weeks ( or 2 weeks or a month ) worth of groceries, water, sodas, wine etc. etc. takes? Not fun! We LOVE the ground floor condo with our car less then 50 feet away from the front door. Yes, a little noise, but it's a condo! Most guests are out at night partying anyway. I know we are. Kihei has definitely gotten more crowded with mainlanders. But hey, meeting someone from Calif., Oregon, New York, etc. I think is kind of cool. Just like Mexico, if you want the culture and locals, you can go upcountry and be there in half an hour. Most guests drive up there but don't really mingle with the locals. As far as our condo and only 2 people, we do advertise that we recommend only 2 adults but......our condo is set up for 4 people and I don't know if Graciete realized but there is a full sized sofa bed in the front room. We have had numerous couples with 2 chidren ranging from toddlers to teens. We have also had 2 couples a few times stay there ( which we do not recommend ) to be able to afford the trip of a lifetime and told us they had a great stay and loved our condo. That being said, its all about enjoying yourself and having a vacation on paradise. I think our condo serves that purpose. The location is great. The weather is great. The people are great. What else would you want?? Aloha from Mac & Maria and I hope when you are looking for a place to stay you will consider our " little piece of paradise ". I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks so much for the lovely stay. The condo in Kihei was just our speed. Clean and comfortable, walking distance to the beach, bars and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed, even a cooler for a picnic lunch. Thanks again, we'll definitely look into staying again in the future!

I had the pleasure of staying in this clean, very comfortable condo for 7 nights in October. It has everything in it, just about anything you would want or need in a Maui vacation condo. Two TVs, a very comfortable bed, nice size bath room, not much lacking in this unit. OK, maybe no view of the ocean, but for the rate, what does that really matter? Unlike the review posted right before mine, I found it quiet, relaxing, and the parking slot for the vehicle that is needed on Maui, is just steps from the front door. The street is blocked by a full size green hedge from the condo and the lanai. My idea of "roughing it" is a Super 8. They cost much more than this unit, and they don't have a view of the ocean either, no kitchen, no 2 TVs. I've stayed in both of this owner's condos, both are better than advertised. Much better. Noise can be a problem when you visit Maui. Not just at KT, but everywhere. But for my stay, even with the upgrade going on next door, this unit and the grounds was quiet when you wanted it to be. You will not find a nicer unit for the price.
Owner's Response: Hi Ross, Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments about your stay at our condo at Kalama Terrace. It is refreshing to get a positive review after all the time and work we put into our condo to make it as comfortable and user friendly as possible for not only our guests but also for us when we stay there a couple of times a year. We strive to make our guests vacation on Maui an affordable and memorable vacation that they will remember for many years to come and also give them an incentive to visit the islands again & again. We have had many returning guests as you ( your 1st time at this condo ) and comments like these make all the time and effort worth while. Thank You and we look forward to your return visit in Jan. 2011

For the price it was great, but not the deal we though. Though we paid more than the $59 they are asking now. It was clean and had a ton of extras, but people did not honer the quiet time and dogs were being walked outside our room at 6 am. A few other problems, but we told the owner and he said he would fix them so I don't want that to be a reason not to stay there. Good location, but only if you have a car! Would stay there in a minute for the $59, but may think twice for the price we paid.
Have fun!

Owner's Response: These guests wanted a motel 6 rate from the first response I received from Them. They were willing to pay airfare from California to Maui but want a fully contained condo to stay in for 7/nts. for the price of a bed and tv in a motel room. I supplied them with all contact names & numbers they needed including the onsight manager incase of any problems with noise etc. Any of my guests that ask about transportation I always advise them to get a rental car. We have a reserved parking space for our condo at no added cost. To be able to see and enjoy all of Maui, you need a car. Our condo is centrally located in the Town of Kihei so if you decide not to get a rental car, or just don't feel like driving, we are 2 blocks from a great beach, 4 blocks from a grocery store, restaurants, souvenir shops, surfing & lessons and many other activities that are with-in a short walk. This is the 1st negative review we have received in 2 years on this condo. I have come to the conclussion that if these people were to stay at a 5 star hotel and the room was comped to them, they would still find something to complain about. We have repeat guests coming back because they love the location and all the amenities we have provided in our condo. Granted, our place is not a 5 star resort condo but we are not charging $300/nt. ( or more! ) to stay there. For some, this is a vacation of a lifetime and we like to think that we helped make it not only affordable but also a vacation for them to remember forever. Aloha, Mac & Maria

This condo is exactly as pictured. It was the perfect fit for my boyfriend, son, and I to stay for 7 days. The owners kept in contact through out planning and were very quick to respond to my questions. I rate this an A+++ and hope to return someday. The pool is more amazing than the picture shows. Awesome tiled bottom with two turtles. The location was central to everything we needed in town, a park with play structure, and great beaches. My suggestions are Kimos in Lahina for dinner (Make reservations), the Royal Lahina Luau (arrive for check in really early for best seat), Trilogy for snorkel cruise, and UFO for parasailing. Alexander's had excellent Mahi Mahi fish tacos.

My husband, Jim, and I had the pleasure of staying in Kalama Terrace, p102 for the month of January. It was close to all shopping and dining. We walked almost everywhere. Even to the movies just a half a block past the local grocery store.
We enjoyed dining at many of the local eateries. Kihei Cafe was the very best breakfast and great for people watching. Moose's and Freds were exceptional food and fun. The beaches were great and I can't believe how warm the water was. I took my binoculars and saw many whales and turtles right from the beach.
We took a whale watching excursion and saw them up close, also many dolphins. An unforgetable experience. The best show on the Island was "Warren and Annebelle." You just HAVE to go see it. Also I would recommend Ulalani. I hope you all have the great experience we did. Jan
