The Good: Great location, quiet, great pool, new kitchen, good beach set up with Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrella and boogie boards, nice size and layout.
The Bad: Mattress completely worn out, mismatched tile, unit is very tired (needs work). The couch has ripped edges with worn corners and the patio table is wobbly. There were no cleaning supplies other than soap. In a condo that has glass tables, windex would have bean great. The broom was fine but the dust pan was broken so it made sweeping up sand and dust difficult. The curtains in the living room did not close at all.
We have stayed in condos all around Kihei over the years and found this unit to be in very poor condition. We had friends staying in another unit in the same development and the contrast was amazing. For starters this development has cockroaches, I know this is the tropics BUT they were crawling out of our light switches! We are told they are spraying next month. We emailed about them and were told to take out the garbage and empties and to place any food in the fridge. We had been doing this already, but I wiped down the whole kitchen, washed the floor and was very diligent and by the fifth day they stopped showing up. The condo kitchen was not well equipped. This was a big contrast with places we stayed in the past including our friends unit in Kalama Terrace. They were welcomed with beer, toilet paper and a full spice cupboard. It would also seem that they don't take stock of kitchen supplies. There were four of us and we had to start getting creative with what we were going to serve food on (no salad bowls) and eat on (only three plastic outdoor plates). We also found the unit dirty, that said I'm not sure it was their fault as next door is an empty dirt lot and on windy days the unit gets covered in dirt. We also had a ceiling panel come down and coat our bedroom hallway In fine black dirt. This is not the owners fault as it was a very windy day, but it added to the dirt that we had difficulty in cleaning up. One of the reasons you rent a condo is you intend to spend time living there, unfortunately this unit needs some work. It's like someone has dropped off all their old worn out stuff that no one wants. Not a place you really want to spend any time in. I can say this freely because visiting other units in the development was just the opposite.
