Cottage in Kihei
Loved the patio area. Bathroom extremely small,,We are small people so I do not know how a large person could manage. Also two huge liabilities for the owner. The first being the step coming out of the bathroom. The second is the step from living area into the kitchen. As seniors we found them to be EXTREMELY dangerous !!! Mold in shower head, towel rack ready to fall off the wall, TV unable to watch for us ,as the sound needs to be repaired. Several huge roaches in the house .Neighbors extremely noisy!! Other than that, LOVED Hawaii and hated to leave. We really did enjoy our stay but thought the owner should be aware of the two steps before some gets seriously hurt.

Perfect beach hq
The cottage was perfect for our family, walkable to a few places and an easy drive to anywhere else. Laundry, beach gear, and a pull out sofa were ideal for our family of 4, and the walkability and flowering tree next door made our stay amazing. The listing says two adults, and I agree, more than 2 adults would be cramped. Thanks for a lovely stay!!

Just what we were looking for:)
We were looking for a quiet, safe location that had a king bed! Place was clean had a lot of amenities such as a grill outback that we didn’t use couple lawnchair‘s awning and snorkel gear, which was great. It might be in the listing we didn’t see it, so we brought our own, who is nice to have a laundry place as well be nice if they can figure out a way to do recycling but we understand.

Cottage with potential but needs some attention
The cottage is a good size for 1-2 people. We enjoyed being close to beaches, restaurants and activities. It has a large bedroom with a comfortable bed. The decor in the cottage is nice. After our almost 3 weeks there, we did notice items that need attention to: 1. The BBQ is very nice and clean, but the starter on it did not work and there was no alternative way to start it. We purchased a candle lighter. 2. The garburator did not work but since we don’t use a garburator, it was not a big issue for us. 3. The back patio has solar lights on the fence which is a nice touch. The solar panel was installed facing into the palm trees and not to the sun, so they didn’t work. 4. The kitchen could be better stocked. The wine opener was broken beyond use and there were no wine glasses in the place. We purchased. There was not a casserole dish (or any other oven proof dishes) that could go in the oven. 5. Kitchen is dark and could use some under cabinet lighting. 6. Pictures show a lounger in the back yard but there is no lounger. 7. Book in cottage says there is a cooler and ice packs in the kitchen but we couldn’t find them. 8. Sheets, pillows, towels and beach chairs are well worn. 9. The place could use a good cleaning. Especially the floors, windows, fan light covers, shower and the shower curtain. 10. You can see daylight under the front door and the patio screen is pushed out on the bottom and has a tear in the screen. With this being ground floor, this should be closed up to help prevent the bugs from coming in. The cottage has great potential but needs some attention to details.

Convenient location - had everything we needed!
The property was just as described - clean and had all the kitchen appliances we needed to cook every day during our stay. It was the perfect location in Kihei with easy walking access to many restaurants, stores, and the beach. Would definitely stay here again or recommend to anyone visiting!
