If I was to return with a friend I do not feel that I could stay here if 2 beds were needed. I tried sleeping on the hide a bed just because I wanted to be by the sliding glass door and under the fan. It was very uncomfortable. A futon in it's place would be better. The murphy bed was great. So I would say that this studio is great for a couple or a single. Don't expect to utilize the hide a bed as another bed but it is comfortable to sit on. I would stay here again if I came by myself like I did this time. I felt right a home. Nice quiet area,the pool was great and the beach and sunsets were great too. Within walking distance to so many restaurants and some shopping.
Location is spectacular. Kamaole II is one of the best beaches on the island, and it is just a brief walk away! We appreciated the balcony view each morning at breakfast. Can't wait to come back...
Very comfortable and home-like with a spectacular view.
We enjoyed the stay very much, it was like staying at friend's house! There is snorkeling gear, umbrellas, boogie board and all the things you need and forgot to take..The view from the apartment is great and the studio is spacious. Very nice beach is 3 minute walking distance. The property manager was very helpful in addressing our needs. When we go to Maui next time, would definitely rent this studio again!
We rented two condos, 516 and 603. 516 was a studio and the ONLY bad thing to say is it didn't have a dishwasher. 603 was a one bedroom, with a pull-out bed in the living room. I actually preferred the pull-out as you received a great cross breeze..bedroom was a little warm for me. These condos were a 5 minute walk to the beach, 15 min. walk to the Abc store, health food store, and Denny's restaurant. 10 min. drive to Big (McKenna) beach, best boogie boarding beach in Maui. HUGE waves, not for wimps. (=
Wow what a great trip! Maui is paradise. We loved the location of our condo and would definaty go back to the same area again. The condo was well equiped with everything we needed. We were a little dispointed with the cleanliness and age of appliences but for the price, it was great. The bed was comfy and view was perfect. Thanks Hawaii Holiday Vaction Rentals!
Great little room for the solo traveler I was.
Great location. We were able to enjoy walking along beautiful beaches, easy access to amenities, and a leisurely drive to Lahaina. The drive to Hana was spectacular and we had a great evening in Paia afterwards. We really appreciated the CD driving guide provided. Unfortunately, we forgot it in our rental car. We apologize about that.The only complaints are with the fridge and stove. Both needed some maintenance since a knob kept falling off of the gas stove, and the fridge is quite old.
Lovely little studio apartment. Very close to the ocean, about a 3 minute walk. Was under the impression it had a BBQ. Turned out the complex has BBQ's by the pool. Perfect place to stay for an active couple. If you were planning on spending a lot of time in your apartment its probably to small. My girlfriend found the bed too soft. Don't take these as too negative though. Its a great little beach apartment. In a relaxed and friendly area.
We enjoyed our stay in Maui very much. The room was simple and cozy. It offered everything we needed for our stay. A place to sleep and eat. Was a little disappointed that the fridge was not cleaner and would have like to see new towels with out bleach stains.The convenience of the condo was fantastic!Overall, it was a great place to stay while in Maui.
The unit could be updated and a deep cupboard clean would not be a bad idea as well.
There are only 3 wash cloths which is insufficient. It means laundry has to be done more frequently than necessary.The broom is quite small (5"wide) so it takes a long time to sweep the apartment. A larger broom would be very useful. The cable was coiled up in a drawer, it would be helpful if there was a small note near the hookup directions for the computer letting the guest know its location. Or leave it hooked up to the box & have it hang behind the TV set.Everything was so clean, attractive, neat and provided me with a very comfortable set of rooms. Thanks for your efforts. I will return some day and would use the same condo without reservation. Thanks for making my visit pleasant.Carol
The first day the micowave blew up and a kitchen cabinet door fell off it's hinges. I found three screws at the park across the street and repaired the door. The condo was away from the highway so no traffic noise. management was helpful. ALL the electrical outlets need changed. I would have done that too, but my wife said we were on vacation. Over all-It was nice.
This was our first trip to Hawaii and it was wonderful! The condo was MUCH smaller than what we thought by looking at the pictures. For 2 people it was okay but definitely no more than that (even a little small for 2 people). The full-size murphy bed is comfortable but the hide-a-bed was so incredibly uncomfortable! I would suggest updating at least the mattress if not the whole couch. The only other complaint I have is the fridge. For heaven's sake REPLACE IT! A used refrigerator isn't terribly expensive and this place needs it desperately. Overall the condo is a decent place for 2 people to stay, close to the beach and good restaurants. It needs some updating but served as a decent place to stay and very good price!
We always appreciate constructive feedback, and for future renters, the renter was right and the refrigerator is being replaced this week! We happen to believe NO sofabed is comfortable, but we are sorry they felt it might have hindered their first stay in Hawaii. Again, for future renters; the studios are just under 500 sq ft. Larger than most hotel rooms. Like she said, you can't beat the price.
We would not complain at all about the price. It is located in the very back of the complex, which is a beautiful property with flowering hibiscus, plumeria, bird of paradise, all sorts of other flowering trees and shrubs, it's fantastic! The two pools are small, but nice. The location of the condo itself is the reason there's a "five minute walk to the beach" (Kama'ole Beach II, not a bad one at all). The view from the "lanai" (I call it a small balcony)of the mountain is nice and the distant view of the beach beyond the other condos is good too, but what is up with that empty yellowing field in the back? Also...The one bed is somewhat hard and the sofa bed is extra worn and lumpy. The linens were worn. The kitchen is worn, but we did enjoy having it, although without an A/C it really is too hot to use the oven or stove. The "high speed" internet never got a connection above low, and I couldn't do much on my laptop except check a few websites, even e-mail was slow or dropped. The overall room space isn't utilized well. It's too small for a sofa table, "coffee table" and the big lamps. Use wall space for sconces, shelves with doors, etc.It was really too small for 3 adults, but they did warn us, quite politely, I might add. It is a distance from Lahaina (20 miles), where all the parasailing, cruises, luaus and many other activities are located, but that was fine with us. We enjoyed our stay, and like the Kihei area with its mix of locals and tourists very much. The condo is very cozy.
