Kihei holiday condo

Just got back and this condo was an excellent place to stay on Maui. I had never stayed in Kihei before and it turned out to be a perfect location...close to beaches, restaurants and shopping.

The condo was clean, well decorated and having a fully stocked kitchen was a huge bonus. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend it anyone traveling to Maui.

We stayed in this condo for the first 7 days of our honeymoon in July 2009, and loved every minute of it. We found the place to be very clean, overall. It provided us with clean sheets and enough towels to last us even longer than we stayed. It was very spacious, but the balcony was our number one hang-out spot! It is in a very convinient location, so that all the other neighbouring towns are very close by and easily accessible. We wish we can be back there again sometime real soon!

What a GREAT condo this unit is! We stayed 7 nights in April and loved our time there. I've stayed in other rental condos and was really impressed by how 'homey' this one felt.

The kitchen is great, with plenty of utensils, bowls, pots, and pans - even tupperware! We immediately made use of the iPod dock nicely connected to the stereo, and were so pleased to find TWO coolers in the bedroom closet - ready for carrying down to the pool or beach. I'll even admit that we made use of the DVD player on one of our evenings in. The 'creature comforts' were rounded out by an abundance of BIG, soft towels and plenty of linens.

Unlike many rental units, this one is painted in beautiful, warm tones and has sturdy, comfortable furniture - it really feels like being in someone's home rather than a place with the cheapest possible accoutrement! In particular, I love a nice hot shower, so I've got to give a call out to the abundance of hot water, flowing at high pressure from the HUGE showerhead. Better than my shower at home!

Bigger picture-wise, it's close enough to the Maui central highway that it was easy for us to get out of the Kihei area without taking too long. At the same time, it's a 2 minute drive or 5 minute walk to the first commercial strips with drugstores, cafes, etc.

From our view overlooking the putting green, pools, ocean and sunset (those photos don't lie!), we could see the frequent pool cleaning and groundskeeping; we also knew just when one of the four propane grills was free in the evening (those fancy gas tiki torches are a great touch), and whether there was room in the lovely hot tub jacuzzi. We could even see low tide on the ocean (a chance for a little snorkeling one morning). During our week, we saw lots of families with kids playing and cooking out in the evening. Everyone was very friendly and respectful. Nighttime was quiet, but for the sound of the surf!
