We were first time VRBO customers. We looked at many properties before we chose this one. We were on our 25th Anniversary and the spot was perfect. It was centrally located for events and to travel around Maui from Kihei. I do suggest having a car, but I didn't see a better location on Maui that I would stay. It is located on a quiet street about a mile from downtown Kihei stores and restaurants. Downtown Kihei main street is very busy during the day. We used both the kitchen and laundry. Plus we used the beach towels, chairs and beach daily. The beach is quiet and perfect for romantic walks with the perfect sunsets. It has a great view of Haleakala in the front but the sunrise takes time, hidden behind the mountain. I would recommend this location for a quiet romantic vacation spot. The Host Michael was nice and helped with any requests we had.The balcony was the best part for morning coffee and watching the sunsets.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Mike was the best host and made sure we had everything we needed! He had great local recommendations and truly went above and beyond to make our stay in Maui memorable. The apartment was very clean and had the most incredible view! The AC in both the living area and close to the bed worked wonderfully.Our favorite part was the secluded beach directly out front of the property. Though it wasn’t a private beach, it very much felt that way, as we had it mostly to ourselves! We were not ready to leave and hope to return soon! Mahalo, Mike, for an incredible experience.

Location is 2nd to none. Right in front of beach and quiet neighbors. Beach is very calm and you get to see sea turtle and even whale passing by if you are lucky.Now, as a landlord myself, I would definitely upgrade furniture and fix the area where termite was affected.Nit the turn off of the property but would be good to have are; spoons, shampoo, and other condiments (salt/pepper/cooking oil/etc.). I know Michael would have given condiments if asked but we already bought them before I got to talk to him. We arrived late and didn't want to bother at late hours.This brings next topic. He is mich better with call then text. If you need his attention right away, call instead text.Michael, I also suggest you to make a pdf file for all your trip suggestions and email to future renters instead of sending same text messages to renters.He is very helpful and wants you to enjoy your stay. Just needs some updates and better methods.

This is an truly spectacular location. Book this place if only for the incredible view you get and the nightly magical sunsets you get to experience. It is also very well located, within walking distance of the Kihei center. The apartment itself is very comfortable and clean. Will stay here again next time we are in town.

The best part is the beachfront location with beautiful views and a grass lawn. We loved lounging, watching the sunset and swimming at the beach. 10/10 location.

Great location, beach is out your back door. Close to great restaurants and shopping. The owner Micheal is very accommodating and kind. We stayed 4 days and would rent the place again.

The unit is at the dead end of a quiet residential street, right on the ocean. Although everything you need is nearby, the unit feels secluded from the busyness of the area. Plenty of space in the 1 bedroom unit with a full kitchen and living area. The deep yard leads to the beach, which you pretty much have to yourself. It was a very tranquil setting, which we hope to someday come back to. Thank you Michael for everything!

Apartment had so many perks: excellent location right off the beach, super clean, great air conditioning, quiet, lots of equipment available for beach activities, and a top tier host. Mike greeted us when we arrived and was excited to hear about or interests. We were only staying 4 days and it was our first time in Maui. Mike gave so many great recommendations for day-trip activities such as hikes, sightseeing, and restaurants. He also alerted us to characteristics of the beach nearby, such as being sure to watch for turtles and whales. We had a wonderful time thanks to Mike covering everything we needed.
