kitchen

We stayed in a gorgeous condo on the fourth floor.  The kitchen was well stocked, it was clean and the view from both lanais was gorgeous.  The washer and dryer were not in the condo but the laundry room was just down the hall.  We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.

Beautiful ocean views

This was the most disgusting condo I have ever stayed in. We arrived and found 2 dead cockroaches and a very dirty shower. The shower had algae at the drain probably because of no one has ever removed the hair from the grate. do not stay here if you are a VI resort member because it is third party managed and they cannot help you when things go wrong. They did refund the stay for pts but we called management twice and were told that it’s a tropical environment so cockroaches were normal. I’ve been to Hawaii over 8 times and never seen one in a condo before. We decided to try and brave it out but as soon as we turned off the light we heard and saw several scuttling around. Absolutely horrifying and disgusting. We were so traumatized we packed up and left - leaving all our groceries and had to stay at a different hotel which last minute cost us $300 a night! Luckily we only had 2 nights in Maui. This was in May 2023 and I doubt it has improved. If you hate cockroaches don’t stay here. Shame because it’s a beautiful beach/location.

Cockroaches galore!

We were in unit 434 and it is so outdated. We paid the best of our money and the return compared to the price is so not worth it.
The showers are not comfortable, there is no option to control the ceiling fan in the bedroom, the lighting in the living room does not work and they did not fix it during the entire stay (6 days!), without explanation or compensation. We extended our stay (we thought they would fix it) and then the code for the front door changed without an update so that we could be left without an entry option unless we called from another room (and we arrived just in time for office hours - half an hour before closing). In general, the whole dealings with the agent were neither fast nor responsive, and even a month and a half after the stay he did not bother to answer emails. Simply greed, disgrace, and irresponsibility toward customers.

Bad experience

Recently returned from beautiful Maui after a 10 day stay of pure relaxation and beauty. My son recently transitioned to Maui and booked this condo for us (Unit 433 two bedrooms) through cbislandvacations.com. Major updated renovations were recently inputted on this site. Central air throughout and wide screen TVs in every room. Cute turtle decor theme. Couch accommodates more sleepers.. Wonderful unit..spotlessly clean with kitchen packed to the nines with all updated accessories. Very attentive add-ons...books...games. Long spacious lanai with access from both master bedroom and living room.  Second bedroom closet stacked with all  you require for fun, fun, FUN in the sun.  Towels...beach chairs...snorkeling gear...golf clubs...you name it!!!  We called it the giving closet! Only thing missing was an umbrella but hey! ...that's a small price to pay in picking your battles in pure paradise. Bought an umbrella and an extra chair and put it right back in that "giving closet" for someone else to enjoy.
Stunning panaramic views lounging on the lanai from Haleakala Summit to the left to full frontal views of the ocean....to a peek of another glorious volcanic mountain off to the right.  You will not be disappointed so try and reserve this particular unit waaaay early if you can. I certainly will on returning.  You will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Condo Complex

Do not, DO NOT , book unit 528!  We’ve been coming to Maui for years and always stay at at Villages By The Sea because we love it!  We booked this unit on 1-14-21 and on our day arrival (9-3-21) we were told the unit was “unrentable!”  Unbelievable!!  We had all our luggage standing at the front door, ready to begin our Hawaii vacation.  The rental company did a great job in re-locating us last minute but without explanation, we could only assume the unit owner of 528 had someone else to use the unit because we saw other people in the unit!!  Do not, DO NOT book this unit!!!

Awful

If I could give this place a 0 star I would. We stayed here May 27-Jun 2 at Kauhale Makai by Maui Condo and Home. Im writing this to warn everyone how disgusting this place can be. We walked in the 1st day, the receptionist was very nice and very informative with where to find our room, the code and pool. That’s about the last positive thing I can say about this place. Our room smelled like an old grandparent’s place where they havnt cleaned in months. It just smelled “OLD” and dusty. Every counter, every surface was so dusty. ITS LIKE THIS PLACE WAS NOT TOUCHED IN YEARS.  The A/C vent was full of molds and apliances were ones you would find in the 1980s, like old vacuums and old blender. They had a VCR and a DVD player. That’s cool and retro and not up to date. Our child played in the curtains for just one second and he was full of dust when he came out. I swiped my hand over the curtains and had dust on my fingers. There is someone’s hair left on the certain of the shower. 
After complaining to the manager. They agreed to cleaning up the place. But not until the next day. So we had to sleep in this dusty old looking place over night before they addressed the problem. 
The next morning, two people came and started cleaning up the place. They did removed the old smell by straying disinfectant everywhere and wiping the surfaces and sweeping the porch, but the dust was still there. I pointed out the dirty A/C vent and they said its mold and they couldn’t do anything about it. WOW. UNBELIEVABLE. That’s how you treat your guest.  What is funny was that their ad shows they do enhance cleaning. Ya….right enhance cleaning
After complaining to management again. He offered to give us a refund for the remaining days or deep clean the room, which would take two days. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE READY BEFORE WE ARRIVE. But the problems was, its hard to find a descent place at a good price in MAUI that day. It was too stressful and too much of a hassle to go through that and we already spent a lot on this trip. We sucked it up and stayed the rest of the time in this place. But that does mean this place does suck. I will no longer consider staying at hotels and motels. Ill be going pure AirBnB from now on.

Dusty and Dirty

We absolutely love this condo.  The condo is modern and beautifully decorated with hardwood floors and marble tile.  The kitchen is well stocked with high-end cookware.  Exceptionally clean and comfortable.  Big screen TV with all of the viewing options.  Beautiful ocean front condo steps from the beach.  We had to extend our stay due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Denise, graciously accommodated our needs.  A+ owner.  We will define be back. 

Anthurium #505, search no further!

We stayed in this condo with our adult children for 6 nights.  We were surprised that it needed major repairs & renovations.  The photos do not show all the defects but there are broken mirrors, broken tiles, venetians falling apart & just an older tired condo.  We enjoyed the position but the price was very high so we felt it did not represent value for your money.  AA Oceanfronts manage this accommodation & they were helpful & understood our issues but there is only so much one can do without renovations.

Expensive condo that needs major upgrades

We stayed here on a recent visit and were quite happy with it. Although Kihei is not our favourite part of the island to stay in this was a nice location and we would certainly stay again. We rented through Air BnB and had a two King bedroom with 2 bath condo right by the pool on the ground floor. At first I was a little concerned about being SO close to the pool but it turns out that the condo was pretty well sound proofed and also this is a very quiet property overall so we never really heard much of anything from the pool. Also we were grateful that the owners of our unit had planted bushes and shrubs in front of their lanai which made it feel more private even though it was on the ground floor and right by the pool. We enjoyed our breakfasts out there every morning and usually a drink at night and never felt awkward. Our unit was basically clean although not as clean as I would ultimately like and did need some upgrading. However, the appliances were new, beds were comfortable, and the owners were very responsive. One downside of this property is that laundry is paid and shared and while we were there they were actually doing construction so there was no laundry at all in our building. The construction also didn’t look nice at all to walk in to but hopefully whatever they are doing will make the property even better. We enjoyed the big expanse of lawn and the steps away from the beach. It is not a swimming beach but it’s still nice for a walk or run or some yoga or just sitting and enjoying watching the sunset or the waves roll in. One morning we found a huge snail hanging out on the lawn and every morning we were woken up to beautiful bird song and usually visits from several birds while we ate breakfast. The pool is nice although we never really used it. We hopped in once for a quick dip but there are so many beaches and so much to do that we didn’t have any real need for a pool. I do like the whale murals in the pool though. I noticed a few young families over the week and think it would be a great location and option for young families. It was also great for us as couples since we each had our own space in our condo. Despite this being in Kihie and off a pretty busy street we actually did not hear much noise at all which was very nice as we always look for quiet spots for nights. 

Great Kihei stay

We stayed in Plumeria on 4th floor and condo 424 was in pretty good shape. Our lanai was on the end with a full view of pool and ocean. We rented through VRBO. Our owner was very responsive and furnishings were nice enough. I began to wonder about security in the complex since on 2 occasions within 2 days I observed 2 different couples engage in sexual acts in the pool and once in the hot tub. I was disgusted by their behavior and felt offended since for the big pool event, in broad daylight, I was at the pool. The hot tub incident was another couple(the four of them were friends),and that was in view at nighttime. Later on I mentioned it to the front desk and they were polite and said they would “send it on”.  Later in the week I saw some more very explicit sexual activity by a 3rd couple. But for my 10 day stay I never noticed a security guard. Perhaps if there was a presence this ludicrous behavior would be discouraged. Another observation is that there is no indicated accessible bathroom from the pool. Not ideal especially for families with young children.
