Reviewer Comments:
I stayed at unit 307 with my great nephew during his spring break. Reserved the condo through a Hawaiian airlines vacation package. I typically stay at the Grant Wailea, but since it was spring break, the rates were atrocious so chose to stay at a condo instead. This little unit has so much potential, but is very dated. I don't want to sound like a total princess, but I would probably not stay here again for a few reasons. The biggest issue, but is in the process of being fixed, is that there is no air conditioning. I had read previous reviews about the Kihei Surfside, and specifically this unit so I was aware there was no air conditioning. Some comments made by other guests stated there was somewhat of a breeze to make it comfortable to sleep at night. I did not find this to be the case at all! Air conditioning is coming soon, so that will be a great solution. However, the furniture is very dated and uncomfortable. The mattress and linens were a big problem. Linens were starting to have pilling and were mismatched (there's the Princess in me). There are some minor holes in the walls in the bedroom that could easily be patched up and repainted. The bathroom was recently remodeled and is fine. Bathroom towels were very nice. The kitchen was also remodeled. The dishes were also mismatched and plastic wine glasses were melted from dishwasher use but still in the cabinets. Cookware and dishes are also mismatched. Pros: probably the most gorgeous views ever and so close to the ocean. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and helpful and told us where to rent water toys next-door. There is also a general store at the condos close by that is easy to get supplies if you need something quick. Most of the parking was shaded and very easy to maneuver. We didn't use the washer/dryer, but it was available. There is a beautiful lawn associated with the condos for friends and family gatherings. As I said, this place has so much potential, but really need some attention!!
