We just finished a 3 week stay in Laurie and Jeff’s condo in Kihei. The location is perfect, across the street from Kamaole II beach – one of the largest and nicest beaches in Maui.
They have all the beach equipment you need, great chairs, umbrella, sand free mat, large cooler and ice packs, beach towels, noodles, boogie boards and a nice wheel rolling cart to carry all to the beach. The kitchen has wonderful appliances and well stocked – being there for work for 3 weeks we cooked in most nights and had everything we needed. Laurie was wonderful to work with, answered my questions, with quick response time. NO problems at all with payments, deposit refunds, etc. The unit is ground floor, so nice to walk right out on the grass and the pool is directly across from their unit. Very close.
The walk to the beach is easy, but note that coming back to the unit, it’s a slight uphill. No big deal. My only issue with our stay is that the bedroom does not have its own air-conditioner and the air flow through the unit was not enough to cool off the bedroom. Note: we were there in August, and it was a heat wave, exceptionally warm according to the locals. We had every fan going (nice that they did have many extra fans in the unit – so that helped.)
The location was walkable to restaurants and shops and beach, and only a few blocks from the highway, so easy to get around the island. Parking place is right under a tree, so kept the car cool.
