We have been coming to Maui for years and always stay in North Kihei. Would possibly stay here again if unit was cleaned, or don't charge me a cleaning fee and I will clean it myself.
I will start my review with the positive things about the unit....
First off, Samantha, the property manager was great. She was very responsive when I called or texted her. Upon our arrival, we had an issue with the electronic door lock. It didn't work, but we were able to get in using the key from the lock box on the door once we got the code from Samantha. She came over to the unit and changed the batteries in the electronic door lock and it did work for about a day, then quit working again. We gave up trying to get it to work and just used the key. No big deal, so don't rely on the electronic door lock, just use the key and it you'll be fine.
*The unit is in a nice location, at least we think so anyway. We love Sugar beach access right across the street and that area is centrally located to the highway to go any direction you wanna go for sight seeing spots. Also, it's more quiet on that end of Kihei.
*We thought the beds were comfortable.
*It was nice to have a partial ocean view from the lanai.
*Great breeze through the unit with the windows open.
*Lots of spices left from other guests and also sun screen and other things like bug spray, peroxide, after sun lotion and even nail polish remover.
*The showers had dispensers that supplied soap, shampoo & conditioner, and that was nice.
*There were 3 beach chairs, 2 beach tote bags,, 1 small soft fabric-type cooler, beach toys and an umbrella to use.
*They supplied a brita pitcher and filter so that was nice, even though we always bring our own. I was surprised to see they supplied one. Sure beats buying bottles of water. We don't do that, we try to leave a lesser footprint on the island and filter our water.
*Air conditioning in the bedrooms & living room was nice, in addition to ceiling fans.
*Kitchen was fairly well equipped.
The negative....
The unit was really dirty upon our arrival. I spent 2 hours just surface cleaning the place. I think the only thing the cleaning crew did before we arrived was wipe the counters & sinks, changed the sheets on the beds (though not on the hideabed), and a poor sweep job. The cleaning in the unit has not been kept up, not deep cleaning or even just good surface cleaning. Tubs and toilets were dirty. Oven was filthy. Moldy shower curtain liners.
Too much to list-out of room
