I booked this property for four couples so we could each have our own bathroom and a fantastic view. The accommodations exceeded expectations. Well designed and decorated home at a stellar location. The lanai and wrap around deck was where we chose to hang out. Loved being right on the beach and also having the ability to walk to multiple stores and restaurants. The home is equipped with everything you need for the beach. Side note: it isn’t easy to get kayak in and out of the storage bay, so need to be fairly strong. While the pool is not fancy, it is warm. The grassy area is a lovely place to hang out as well. The kitchen is well stocked and we had the most delightful welcome baskets. We hired the recommended private chef and it was the best meal, service of the trip. Michael is an amazing host! We felt very welcomed and cared for.

Outstanding property in so many ways:
Exceptional condo, in layout and interior design
Kitchen has every device and utensil one could possibly want
Water toys abound--not kiddies'--adult
All is in top shape and beautifully maintained
We will book this property again

Thank you for sharing your incredible penthouse with us! We celebrated Thanksgiving, a birthday, and cheered on our Iowa State Cyclones at the Maui Invitational—all while soaking in breathtaking views, the soothing sound of crashing waves, and the magic of Maui. This place was perfect for making unforgettable family memories. Mahalo!

9 family members from age 2 to 69 stayed for a week. The location was walking distance to almost everything we wished for. The beach is steps away and has great swimming and snorkeling. The kitchen is well stocked with cook wear, there are lots of beach toys and towels. The property manager made a special effort to bring a clothes steamer even though there was an iron available.

This property was amazing! We loved all the space and how all the sliding glass doors opened up the entire room. Michael was very helpful with getting us checked in and getting all the little extras that made it easier on my family as well as the beautiful welcome gifts! We all had enough space to relax and watch the sunset every night. The proximity of the beach just can’t be beat!! We just love Maui and have stayed in Kihei many times and we will be sure to rebook this property our next family trip.

Property was perfect! We'll be coming back to this place for many years to come. Michael was the best host from welcoming gifts, snacks, fresh fruit & drinks. The home is loaded with everything you need & more - by far the best VRBO we've stayed in! Thanks Michael & team!

This place is magical! We came with our family to get married and could not have picked a better place or location.
Our host, Michael, could not have been more helpful. Michael is amazing, very quick to respond and helpful with all requests. Michael is extremely knowledgable about the island, where to go and how to have food delivered, etc etc. He really made this whole process with our wedding much easier - so, thank you, Michael!!!
The penthouse is in an amazing location, the beach is amazing. We had 9 people, enough space for all of us and close to all the areas we wanted to visit. The views, the sound of the ocean, it really was just an amazing stay.
Michael, thank you for all that you did for us and we look forward to coming back to see you soon!!

Fabulous views, plenty of room. The ability to open up the sliding doors along the entire patio area was so much fun. Management very responsive. The only downside was the property is a little older, and is on very busy street.

The property and the experience were more than we could have imagined.
Everyone had their own bedroom and private bath.
Within walking distance of many restaurants and shops.
The waves crashing at night were peaceful meditation.

We just returned from a 7 night visit and are so happy we selected this property. It was larger than we needed for 3 adult couples; the cost would have been less to get 3 luxury hotel rooms nearby, but we would have sacrificed a lot of communal space and family time this place enabled us to enjoy.
The proximity to the beach is unparalleled. You can hear the waves through the closed doors/windows from the master bedroom and living space. Walking to and from the beach is easy - I even had wifi from the condo while on the beach. And there was always a parking spot just by the stairwell to the condo despite the busy season.
Being able to open the entire wall for a huge indoor/outdoor experience was really fun, which we did one night when we had a private chef. The chef recommended by Michael was wonderful. Sunrise was surprisingly nearly as beautiful as sunset with the whole sky going light pink and purple. The beach was never crowded, and we saw whales spouting several mornings from the lanai and also saw sea turtles swimming past us in the water twice while just standing in the ocean.
Also it was great to be able to walk right across the street to one of the best delis on Maui for a breakfast or lunch sandwich, for lattes and Hawaiian ices, to The Cinnamon Roll Place, to a liquor/wine/beer store, to a grocery store, and much more. Prices at these local spots were much less than we would have paid were we trapped on a luxury resort for every purchase.
There were no negative surprises. Check in/out was simple, photos are accurate, the place came well stocked with towels, cleaning supplies like laundry detergent, lots of spices and pantry staples, all the cookware and glasses you need. Also probably 10 beach chairs, several umbrellas, plenty of snorkel gear and pails and life vests etc. We never hauled out the paddle boards and kayaks as they are quite large and tightly stuffed into their holding container - it just seemed like too much hassle.
The only small complaint I had was that the wooden bed frames creak, which can disturb a light sleeper even when simply rolling over in the night (beds and pillows were quite comfortable though). The addition of an espresso machine and water filter would take the amenities over the top. We refilled our water bottles continually, but the tap water had a slight aftertaste to me.
We would definitely return and recommend this place!
