Gut: Sauberkeit
Solid value but there are tradeoffs
My wife and I have been traveling to Maui for the last decade. We have stayed all over the Island but fell in love with Kihei on our previous trip in 2022. So when we found this listing, we were stoked. It was considerably (40% less) more affordable in 2024 than the place we stayed last time, and the location was very similar to Island Surf. So, going into our stay here, we were pumped.
After our stay, here is our honest assessment:
This unit is in a great location. You can walk/bike to a ton of great things. The tradeoff is that it is across the street from a (beautiful) park with quite a few (15-20) vagabonds. The vagabonds are pleasant and not harmful, but they sometimes ruin the vibe of seeing a guy sleeping on the bench in front of the building. The park also gets loud early in the morning when maintenance workers are cleaning. The unit has a great oceanfront view, and the tradeoff is that it faces not only the sea but also S. Kihei Rd, which is busy until very late. So you may give up some sleep for the view. The apartment itself is spotless, well-maintained, and clean. However, some of the fixtures and appliances are dated. The grill was not working, and the pool was clean, but the grounds were disrepair. The check-in process is excellent, and the management company is helpful. Overall, this is a good value for what you pay. If you are looking for something in a great location, with a view and for a great price you should stay here, just don't expect more.
