It was economical, great location and pretty cute!! I thought it was a nice touch, two chilled beers in the mini fridge with cold glasses even. We actually thought it was well appointed and probably would stay again. However, I was disappointed that when I let them know there were long black hairs more than 10 on the bathroom floor not because I wanted anything compensated but because I wanted to bring it to their attention for something to pay attention to, I heard nothing, not a word, not even an “ I m sorry we missed that” Yet they texted back about another matter, I was wondering about parking. Anyway, overall it was good for the price!! I would recommend

The room was overall in great shape and clean. The host provided additional items such as beach towels and chairs. Although there’s no kitchen, the host has a microwave and refrigerator. The room was honestly a perfect fit for what we were looking for. The location is absolutely ideal and within walking distance to so many fun places to check out. The little touches the host has throughout the room was very much appreciated.

This property is definitely the best price/location combo I found, and because of that I'm giving it 4 stars. You can tell the owners care about the place because they decorated it very nicely and provide lots of great amenities that are super useful. They've done great work with such a small space. Now for the cons: 1) Attention to detail, especially with cleaning. Somehow a shoe that was partially hidden by the draping of the comforter by the side of the bed such wasn't found by the cleaner. Not sure how, I immediately tripped over it. The tub/shower could also have been cleaner. 2) Bugs. I didn't count this against the star rating because I realize it's Hawaii, and Kihei, and an old building, and you can't control the cleanliness of your neighbors, but there were definitely bugs. 3) There was no shampoo or conditioner provided, just a bar of soap. 4) There's no dead bolt. This felt unsafe. 5) The shower curtain liner was gross. Recommend replacing more regularly, or getting one that is patterned, not white. 6) The shower head is crazy low. If you're over 5' tall you're going to hate the shower. A new head that goes higher (like the kind that is also a handheld) is like $30 and easy to install and would make this sooooo much nicer for tall guys like me. 7) A curved shower curtain rod is cheap, easy to install, and would make the shower so much nicer. 8) The lights outside are always on and the curtain isn't very dark. A blackout curtain would be really nice.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this property. The location was perfect for walking to shops, restaurants, the gardens with the food trucks, and the lovely park across the street. Ligia’s suggestions for activities and instructions to get to and access the room were perfect. We appreciated the nice thoughtful touches and amenities provided.

If you dont have a car, this is a great location. Close to food, bars and beaches. Plenty of activities close by. It is a studio without a kitchen, but we planned on eating out most days anyways. They had boogie boards and beach gear at the studio. The owner communicated extremely well. I would highly recommend staying here.

Ligia was a fabulous host! She welcomed us with great kindness and even extended our check-out time. The location of this oasis could not be more ideal - it sits right in between the best food truck park ever and the ocean! It was perfect for me and my boyfriend. Thanks for all that you did, Ligia!

This studio room is perfect for anyone interested in having a comfy landing place while exploring all that Maui has to offer. The owner has placed great attention to detail: comfy bed, quality linens, even a bottle of wine in the fridge to celebrate our 30th anniversary!. We walked across the street and were able to see whales in the waterway. You are within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the Saltwater Deli, the 808 t-shirt shop (quality designs!), and Kihea Cafe. We would definitely stay here again!

I didn’t realize square footage was that small when I booked. If your gone all the time and don’t want to eat in the room then you’ll be fine. It has a pool and outdoor grills AND right across is the beach, in-line skating, and beautiful beaches. Don’t forget to try the Dole Whip at the ice shave places. Yum!

We had the best time, the cabin was great but if you hate stairs this is not the cabin for you. Not as close the slopes as we were hoping but perfect for a large family. Deer life is very active and a hill for sledding. The driveway was steep so make sure to have four wheel drive. Not a lot of parking. The kitchen had all the goods you need for cooking. The heater works great. Wishing it had a hot tub. But over all great stay. We will be back

I loved not having to worry about a hotel key and doing a number code instead. The area was perfect for walking for food and entertainment and also short drives to beaches, but better yet we were just across the street! The host was wonderful and very responsive and I much enjoyed being able to try out using a boogie board for the first time. We would come back to Island surf in the future

This property was ideal for our week on Maui. It was close to the beach and restaurants. It was very clean and came with all the amenities that we required, including beach chairs and towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards and coolers. It is small but since we spent every day out and about we were happy with it. Would consider staying there again.

This place is perfect for a low budget Hawaiian vacation where your always on the go. We were able to utilize the beach stuff provided and walk down to the beach and use the grill by the pool to cook our own food. There were tons of walkable options for drinks and food in the area as well.

This is a simple place but has everything you need. Beach chairs, towels, and cooler were perfect for the beaches that are close for walking. The location is great for restaurants and bars nearby to enjoy. Also fantastic communication from our host! I would definitely recommend this place for a simple place, especially for a short stay. If you are staying longer, you might want a lanai with a view, but if you want a clean well-equipped room at a reasonable price, this is the place for you.

This was my first experience with VRBO. I found it somewhat confusing at the beginning but with help from the owner I was able to get the hang of it. I had an amazing stay in Hawaii and the property was absolutely perfect for my needs. Close to beautiful beaches and shopping and anything I needed.

We felt this property met our needs as we toured the island of Maui. during the day. We really did not use the property that much since we were gone so much. However we loved that it had some amenities like beach towels, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, coolers etc. This is truly added vaule.

This property was perfect for my solo trip to Lihei. It was so clean and exactly as pictured. The property owner, Ligia, was so nice and helpful. She even left me a complimentary bottle of wine and a guide to Maui which really helped me plan what I was going to do each day. The location of this property is perfect. So many restaurants and beaches within walking distance. I highly recommend this location!

Great location in the center of Kihei walking distance to FoodLand, coffee shops, restaurants, etc. Best of all, right across from the beach! Clean property and clean room. Very easy check in process, and we were happy to be welcomed with a bottle of wine. I would stay here again if it’s available for our next adults trip to Maui. For a couple or two people only as it is a room with a bathroom attached, no additional space for others.

Just as described. It provided us everything we needed at a reasonable price. The check-process would have gotten 5 stars. The owner was marvelous, however, Vrbo was the problem. Info needed was hung up in their “system.”. Same thing happened with our stay in Kona. We used the money saved to do other activities. So if you are planning on doing things, Other than hanging at the pool, this is a great place to stay. Don’t expect “fluffy”
