Stunning ocean view 2 bedroom Steps from beach

The view from the lanai was fantastic! The location was great..it was close to small mall, the beach was a short block away and the unit was very comfortable! The building manager, Bob, was very helpful, all the visitors and unit owners were VERY friendly! It was 11 miles from the airport, close to a lot of other shopping and places to eat! Just a very relaxing, comfortable, fun place to stay!

Parking for more than 1 car is about 2 blocks away and not convenient if it is raining. Our 32 yr old pregnant granddaughter visited us and parking for her car was difficult.

The fairly reasonable price for this condo's fantastic panoramic ocean view and easy walk across the road to the popular Kamaole I, II & III beaches made it our top pick for pricey Maui. Spacious with many amenities, it is not your usual bare bones rental, but rather a place that the owner and their family manage and use themselves, so it is generously stocked accordingly. This just adds to the value of this rental as you don't have to spend more $$$ having to buy supplies at high island prices that you'll end up only using a few or little of (dishwashing tabs, laundry pods, cooking oil & spices, etc). The many kitchen utensils were new or in great condition, which is also a rarity in condo rentals. We enjoyed the provided beach chairs and umbrellas and utilized them daily on our trips to the beach. We also appreciated not being nickel and dimed, as parking was included and we always found a parking space daily.

The one air conditioner for the entire condo was situated outside and was incredibly loud (needs insulation?) and you could not enjoy the balcony with the deafening echo of the old unit. So shutting the a/c off the entire week turned out to be the best decision as the trade winds through the open windows/glass doors and ceiling fans did a much more efficient job of cooling off the condo. It was nice to listen to the ocean waves at night and any traffic noise was South Kihei road faded into the background. The only bothersome noise was the screeching from kids playing in the pools or inconsiderate neighbors talking loudly on their phones on in their balconies. But majority of the neighbors were considerate and that made sitting on the balcony and gazing at the stunning view a lovely experience. It was odd that there was no dining room table & chairs inside the condo, but fortunately we did not get rain the whole week, so we were able to eat out on the lanai balcony dining table for our meals while enjoying absolutely stunning Kihei sunsets each evening and beautiful pastel skies in the mornings.

The view, the openness and lightness, the lanai, the cleanliness.

Probs LY the going rate but wish the cost could have been a little lower.

It was a great ocean view and got a beautiful wave sounds.And it is very comfortable to access a nice restaurant and ABC store.
