This spot was beach accessible with beauty all around. The host responded quickly when we needed info. We loved having beach chairs and coolers! The only problem was that it wasn’t equipped with all cooking needs like a cookie sheet and kitchen towels. We love Maui!

Very easy to check in as I have stayed in this complex for more than 10 consecutive years. Nice to come back and see old friends. The small complex makes it easy to visit and get together with other guests.

Perfect Stay
This little condo was perfect for my husband and I. It was exactly as listed and much more. Cozy, peaceful, convenient, accessible, clean, relaxing and quaint! We enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony every morning and enjoyed a beer, etc. on the balcony at the end of a long day before retiring for the night. The unit has everything one needs for cooking in the kitchen. The AC works really well, so well that we would turn it off in the morning because we were cold. We enjoyed having the use of the beach chairs and coolers for use, we used them almost everyday. We left an inexpensive beach umbrella for the unit to add to the experience. The laundry room is just down below from the unit with parking right in front of the unit. This property is so convenient and peaceful, I can’t stress that enough. We really enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend it. The owner Karen is very communicative and personable! Anytime we are in Maui this little unit will be where we rest our heads and I’ll be sure to recommend to any friends traveling to Maui as well.

Immaculate, Quiet, Walk to the Beach -- Perfect!
Clean (spotless!); convenient to the beach (1-2 minute walk); quiet -- the perfect vacation 'home' for me. There is an air-conditioning system in the unit but the overhead fan was fine enough for me. The well-appointed kitchen should keep most cooks happy. The pool looks like a great place to grill food & meet friends. Only two minor inconveniences: 2nd story unit, so leave those heavy suitcases at home. Community washer/dryer were coin-operated, so plan to have a stack of quarters . The host (Karen) was always very responsive and thoughtful, which made it easy to plan for this trip. I enjoyed my stay. Mahalo!

A tidy, well-kept condo with all of what you need, in a great location in Southwest Maui
This clean and comfortable one bedroom condo in Kehei may not be oceanfront, but it's definitely ocean-near, as you can be on the sand in less than two minutes' walk - nice for catching the sunset, cold beverage in hand... (You can also see a small piece of the water and west mountains from the main room and kitchen windows.) We found this location through friends who have stayed in the immediate area numerous times over the years. It proved to be a near-perfect jumping-off point for all of the things that we wanted to do; sunset over the ocean on foot in moments, drive to local attractions in Kehei and multiple beaches in 10-20 minutes, and access Kahului for things like the airport, Costco, Walmart, or any other city-level needs in approximately half an hour or so. Even Kaanapali is under an hour away. The unit itself is well equipped with small appliances and most of the kitchen and household items you'd ever want while vacationing. The building also has a convenient, shared coin-op laundry pair on site. (Bring quarters, no change machine is provided...) As an added bonus, this unit's air conditioning is semi-central style via flush-mounted grilles in the ceiling, so it's quiet, effective, and unobtrusive compared to the window-shakers found in many rentals. The hosts were pleasant to deal with, the building is fairly quiet and well maintained, and the area is less ostentatious (and less costly) than Wailea or Kaanapali. We would rent this lovely condo again in a heartbeat were we to return to Maui in future.

Nice place, but needs serious upgrades
The pool was great. The beach was 1 block away and had easy access. The location was fabulous, but you definitely need a car to get anything to eat (except for sushi place on corner - which is excellent, by the way!). The apartment was nice, but was lacking in several areas: 1. The floors and baseboards were not that clean. 2. The bed was squeaky and excessively squishy. Made for multiple uncomfortable nights. My fiancee had to sleep on the couch because it was so uncomfortable. Every time someone moved, the partner was forced awake. 3. Old furniture. It's hard to determine the original color of the chair in the living room. 4. We were given 2 rolls of flimsy toilet paper for 2 adults for an 8-day stay. I asked if more toilet paper was available and was basically told to go buy it myself. 5. There were limited outlets close to the bed. There were 2 lamps with USB ports that were broken (only 1 worked and was a slow/ trickle charger). The other outlets were behind the bed and difficult to access. Would stay there again only if things were upgraded.

Thank you for your input. We strive to give all our guests an enjoyable experience. We have received nothing but positive reviews from our guests prior to your stay. I understand that you were looking for extra outlets to plug in your heating pads. This is not a request that we have had in Maui in the past. The bedroom has a power outlet behind and beside the bed. I personally inspected the condo after your stay and found your cleanliness complaint to be unfounded, the baseboards were clean and had been freshly painted about a month before your arrival. Perhaps your travel style is more suited to a hotel experience. All the best with your future travels.

We've been to Maui 22 times. Both of us are in the medical field and really just relax and enjoy each other when in Maui. The condo we rented from the Lambert's was exactly what they said it was. Very clean. Located in a great part of Kihei. That has not always been the case at other condos... what others say online and what you experience is not always the same. We would definitely recommend staying here! We will :-) They have everything you need to enjoy yourselves.

We enjoyed our stay and would return again. The unit is small but has all the essentials. It was convenient to find beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gears, etc.. While some were broken overall it was useful to have them available. The common areas of the pool and BBQ were enjoyable and well maintained. We liked the location as well, about ~20/30 minuted drive from the condo to Wailea, the Airport, or Lahaina.

The unit and grounds are the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and carefree Maui vacation. We have stayed here for a number of years and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. The unit is clean,well decorated and has everything you need including nice bonuses like a waffle maker and blender. Full size stove and refrigerator and plenty of counter space for cooking. The lania is a great place to have meals with a peek at the ocean and over looking the lovely and well kept grounds. There is a closet full of beach toys and coolers and chairs and anything else you need for an outing. Barb and Pat are lovely hosts reflecting the aloha spirit of Maui.

A fun stay
We stayed at this condo for a week. It is off the main road which is nice so there was no traffic noise. The condo is small, clean and well furnished; perfect for two people. It has all of the amenities you might need. The windows that face the parking lot have levers that you can open and close. When we did not have any neighbors it was fine. When a family of 4 moved in next door for a few nights they were pretty noisy at night and the sound traveled through the windows and walls. We used the beach chairs and coolers which were great. The location of this condo is right across the street from the beach. The beach is narrow and the water has some rocks. If you walk a bit further down it is better for swimming and/or laying on the sand. There are not a lot of stores or restaurants within close walking distance. I did walk to a bakery and ABC store which was about a mile down the road. Not far but the road is busy and there are no sidewalks. You can always walk on the beach which is parallel to the road. We did not see anyone go down for happy hour when we happened to be at the condo at 5pm. Maybe this is just seasonal or we were gone on the evenings people got together. I was looking forward to that. We enjoyed our stay at this condo.

Amazing stay in Kihei
This property had everything we needed for the limited amount of time we spent inside when we weren't out and about or at the beach. One day was very windy and having the pool to come back to and still be able to go for a swim was great. A few of the regulars were there during our stay and many of their recommendations were amazing we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know everyone during "happy hour" around the pool in the evenings. All furnishings were quite comfortable and having air conditioning in the unit to be able to sleep comfortably was very nice. Sugar beach back shop up the road was great and we saw numerous turtles just walking the beach our front of the condo. We would not hesitate at all to book this property again in the future.

Pat and Barb’s air conditioned second floor condo has everything you would ever need even a Belgium waffle maker. The lanai has 4 chairs, table and a locker full of beach accessories.
