Very nice condo with friendly neighbors and close to the beach.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo and appreciated the use of their beach towels, cooler, and comfy beach chairs. The hosts were so thoughtful, providing lots of details about the area and even the use of their Maui Revealed book.

Everything was as described in the listing. Property was clean and the host left many things in abundance for our use (towels, cooking ware, utinsels, etc). Host also checked on us periodically to make sure things were to our liking. The parking is literally a 1 minute walk to the condo. Trash bins are close in distance as well. Probably the best experience we had staying for a vacation rental. If you are reading this review, YES THIS IS WORTH IT!

We had a wonderful stay here, clean, fully stocked (honestly the most stocked condo i've ever been to), exactly as pictured, beds were very comfy. Could get in touch with the owners very easily, can't say anything negative about this place except that we had to leave :). Would book again in a heartbeat!

Excellent stay in great location

We had a great experience at Gretchen’s VRBO. The place was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. From beach chairs and towels to a cooler and all the cooking essentials, Gretchen truly thought of everything. The location of the Vrbo was perfect - right next to the beach and close to many restaurants. I would highly recommend Gretchen's Vrbo to anyone looking for a cozy and well-equipped accommodation near the beach.
