Reviewer Comments:
The location is excellent as the beach is right across the street and there are restaurants/stores that are easily accessible by just walking. Unit #270 was not dirty but not exactly spotless either. The unit itself not well maintained and needs update for sure. It's dark bc there's not enough appropriate lighting. There was a cabinet door that fell off its hinges as soon as we opened it, it clearly needs to be fixed but was not. Also in the kitchen, we found plates and utensils that were dirty in the drawers that we had to clean ourselves before using. The most gross thing was that there were dark stains (old coffee??) found in a mug. Pots and pans are old and didn't function well for cooking. Knives in the block were dull making them unsafe for use. Chairs on the lanai were old and rusting. Another disappointment is that the beach stuff was very old, needs replacement. Fabric on beach chairs very faded and ripping away plus they were dirty as well. There was even old wrappings of a granola bar in one of the beach chair pockets!! The lanai closet that stored all the beach gear was a total mess, snorkel gear was on the floor and looked like it hadn't been clean from its previous use. Beach umbrella didn't work so it was useless. My family and I still had a great vacation overall but staying in unit #270 was a total disappointment. There was no use complaining about it at the time bc nothing would be done, we had already paid for it, and it wasn't as if we would be given another unit to use since each unit owned privately. If it was a hotel, I definitely would have complained and requested a different room. We made the best out of a ****** living situation and still enjoyed our time in Kihei though. We have always stayed at HALE KAMAOLE each time we've been to Kehei and kept returning bc it was so awesome, there were no issues with the other units we've previously stayed in. So all in all, I rate #270 2/5. Would def not rent this unit again!!!
