My friend and I stayed in 216 at the shores of maui
for 9 days and it was absolutely perfect. Beautiful
views, right by great surfing and a nice beach, really
nicely decorated and immaculate. It is also a couple
of minutes walking to stores, restaurants, and bars.
I plan on coming back to Maui with my Mom and
we'll definitely stay here.

We had a wonderful time. The unit is beautifully
decorated and the view from the lanai is unparalled.
We especially enjoyed surfing every day at the cove
across the street, snorkeling at Ahihi By in Makena,
and getting lots of use out of the Shores of Maui
tennis courts and swimming pool. Thanks!

We had a GREAT time! We spent 17 fantastic days there on Maui and actually a fair amount of time in the condo. We would wake up every morning with the sunrise over Haleakala(which you can see from the master window) snorkel and swim and hike and explore all morning until we wore ourselves out and then come back to crash for a nap in the afternoon, go out to eat at one of the dozens of nearby restaurants (we recommend Alexanders, Maui Tacos and of all the poorly named places Fred's Mexican Cafe-its GOOD.. we swear)for dinner and then stroll the walkway in front of the condo and watch the sunsets. You can even sit on the lanai and watch them if youre feeling especially lazy. Either way... dont miss one. Theyre all amazing and unique. We used the kitchen quite alot and it worked very well for us. The a/c was outstanding, we could get the main area cooled within 5-10 minutes of turning it on so we didnt ever feel like we had to leave it running while we were out. The couch was very comfy and the master bed was AWSOME, we are concidering buying one like that for our own home now! We loved having a w/d in unit(we went through alot of laundry) and everything was very clean and nice. Also Leif was GREAT, anytime i had a question or needed anything he was really polite and prompt with a response and i really appreciated it. Thanks guys for letting us enjoy your oceanside home. We cant WAIT to go back (and we are recommending you to all our friends!). Oh! and btw, beautiful job decorating, it was very well done. Felt like a home, not a hotel. Big bonus points :)

We had a wonderful time - thank you for sharing your sweet island home by the sea with us! It was all just as you described. It was great to be able to watch all the surfing while I cooked in the kitchen or sat on the lanai. Our son taught himself to surf one day with a bit of help from a stranger. We loved the pool. The bed in the Master BR was especially comfortable. Great to be near the markets and restaurants too. Next time we will stay longer!

My friend and I just stayed in this unit for a long weekend while our boys competed in a hockey tournament. The unit has an incredible view and is within walking distance to a park, beach, grocery store, shops, restaurants, etc. The boys loved having the XBox and while they were entertained my friend and I could enjoy a drink! The pool area is nice and we had a large gathering of hockey people for a bar-b-que one night. The unit has tennis rackets which the boys used to hit some balls on the tennis courts. I recommend staying here. Be aware however that in the summer especially the loft and bedroom area can get hot during the day even with the air conditioning on but they both cool off at night.

Homeowner Response:
Staying cool in the condo.

There is airconditioning and 4 ceiling fans in this unit. Keep the living room and loft fans running counter clockwise and the floor fans upstair running while the A/C is on. This will keep the upstairs cool. Also in the bedroom keep the ceiling fan on, running counter clockwise, and the fan on top of the washer dryer to draw the cool air into the bedroom. This works really well and sometimes it's too cool.

When i drove past the condo i was disappointed however once inside i was thrilled. The condo is spacious, love the view of the ocean from the kitchen, living room and the balcony. All amenities and the beaches are right there. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for sharing your home away from home. P.S. There should be some pots put in the kitchen, i could not find one.

We have had the pots replaced. They went missing. I guess someone needed them more than we did.

So, I wrote a huge long comment on this condo and our trip but when I submitted it, this thing didn't like a character I had in there somewhere and erased it, told me to do it again. BUMMER! Now you get the abridged version.
The condo was great. Clean, secure, comfortable and we felt right at home. The view and location were excellent and we felt very safe coming and going even at night. You can walk to food and shopping and the rest is just minutes by car. The pool area was very nice and relaxing. You can wlak across the street with no problem and there are plenty of sidewalks and is well lit. The bed is soooo comfy and the loft area is huge. Honestly, we did not spend much time inside but we did get up and make breakfast and coffee. We were able to stay an extra few days and Leif and Joy were more than fair and accomodating, very easy going and laid back. See my trip advisor at TRIPADVISOR DOT COM and my user is shannleary for more advice, photos and more about our trip. I will definately stay here again.

Of the three places I’ve stayed in Kihei, this has by far offered me the most and been the best. Prime view of the ocean horizon from the balcony and the living room allowed for the watching of whales during migration season, the viewing of surfers at the surf beach across the street and the salute to the sunset. The pool, deck and barbecue area are great amenities to enjoy outdoor living, swimming, sun tanning and eating. Up and down Kihei Road, I could find anything I needed to keep my rest and relaxation local. Charlie Young beach for swimming, ABC store for souvenirs, surf shops to rent gear and buy holiday clothes, supermarket for groceries, salon for a pedicure, restaurants for dining and a park for exercise. Gotta luv the Aloha!!

My time in Kihei with the Neilsen's was incredible. With a picture perfect location and view, a beautiful condo, and endless recreation and relaxation opportunities close at hand in every direction, this was most definitely a trip to remember.
