Where is Kihei?

Kihei (pronounced....Key-Hay) is on the south western sunshine coast of Maui. Our condo is just up the beach from the Wailea Resort. Wailea has five major hotels and three championship golf courses.

divider
Are you really close to the ocean and are you on the beach?

Yes. As you walk out from the condo, you will pass the pool, cross our lawn and you will be on the beach. We, honestly, have one of the best locations on Maui. The waves caressing the beach will gently lull to sleep at night.

divider
What is the "quality" of your condo?

We treat it as our own home and constantly upgrade the unit. Just for your information, all condos in the building are the same size and face the ocean. One recently sold for over $1 Million.

divider
How about the overall building?

We have just recently completed a $4 million renovation to update our 30 year old facility. We have a new deli and general store, along with our award winning oceanside restaurant and lounge.

divider
What floor is the condo on?

We are on the fourth floor. Apt. #411

divider
Is there air conditioning in the condo?

It is partially air conditioned. The rear mountain view bedroom has less cross breeze so there is an A/C unit in this bedroom. The ocean view suite is never "hot." Just open the sliding doors and enjoy the ocean breezes. Note that it does get much cooler at night. Often, when you sleep with the doors open, you'll get a bit chilly.

divider
What do you supply guests?

The condo will be all set for your arrival. All paper products and soaps along with extra linens are provided. The kitchen as a full set of cooking utensils and most everything else we think you might like. Wine glasses and a blender....for sure.

There will be no food as the maids have instructions to remove it and all open containers.

divider
Are there laundry rooms available?

Yes. Each floor has a laundry room facility. The washers and dryers are token operated. You can purchase the tokens at the hotel front desk. Usually there is detergent in the condo that has been left by prior guests.

divider
Is there daily maid service?

No. Maid service is provided only after check out. For an extra charge, daily maid served can be arranged. The entire condo is cleaned, the linens are cleaned and freshened before your arrival.

Ho do we dispose of trash?

There is a trash chute and recycling bins in the laundry rooms on each floor.

divider
Can I drink the tap water?

Yes. Within 1 mile you will find both. There is also a convenience store located on the ground floor of our hotel.

Are there rental cars available?

All major rental car companies are located at the airport. A car is a necessity as we are somewhat isolated there on the beach. There are also local companies that rent exotic cars, scooters, and even Harley Davidson motorcycles.
