Really, just hit the grocery store and you are set for the week!

General Info: The Maui Sunset is located on over 5 acres of oceanfront at Kihei which is considered one of the best locations on the Valley Isle. Kihei is noted for its year round sunshine, balmy trade winds, and soothing evening air. It is one of the driest and sunniest areas on the entire island, averaging only 10 inches a year! World famous swimming and snorkeling beaches are minutes away at one of the many sandy safe beaches at Kihei and nearby Wailea. Just a short distance (6 miles) from five championship 18 hole resort golf courses at Wailea and Makena. The two buildings frame and protect a large recreational area that is carefully attended and landscaped. The 60 foot swimming pool with its broad decks and abundance of pool furniture invites you to improve on your tan.

Pretty Cool

The beds were super creative- it was a nice way to maximize space with the fold out bed and sofas. We are a group of coworkers, and def couldn’t share beds, so this was a pretty nice solution at a really good price! Had a great time. Check in and out was easy.

Nice view, but small/old place

Overall, the location and the view is very nice. The check in process and communication is good. We found the space is tight even though it lists as 950 sq ft due to the layout of the apartment. The bathroom is tiny, old and a bit dirty. The shower head and the curtain were moldy. We have two small kids, so it felt very tight having to give your kids shower in the small bathroom. I wouldn't stay again.

Perfect views and location

This was perfect for our family of 8 (one toddler) the view of the ocean is amazing and the property was beautiful for kids to run around and play football, soccer and swim! Lots of room and enough beds for everyone. It would be nice if there was a couple more chairs and more than one boogie board but it ended up ok! I didn’t realize you can rent chairs and umbrellas, boogie birds from the pool area until the last day. Overall, we can’t wait to come back!

I would stay here again

Great view. Great location. 5 people stayed. I didn’t feel crowded. The hose communicated well. The king size bed needs to be replaced. I was tilting over on one end. Maintenance never came with toilet paper so we had to buy our own. Otherwise. This place is amazing. My family loved it

Perfect spot for our family of 6!

Dreamy views! This condo had everything we needed for our family of 6 with 4 teenagers. Plenty of places to sleep and the master bed was so comfortable- which was such a happy surprise. Kitchen had everything we needed for our many meals at the home. Condo came with four beach chairs that we used most everyday. It was easy to rent boogie boards in town for the week. The poolside cabinet had tennis rackets and shuffle board supplies and the teens entertained themselves all week. We also brought pickleball rackets for the pickleball courts that were just down he way. We loved watching the sunset while playing tennis and pickleball. Perfect spot for our family vacation.

Maui Sunset - Oct 4th - Oct 16th 2017

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: All in all, we had an enjoyable experience at the Maui Sunset. The rooms were fantastic! Clean accommodations, with friendly maintenance staff and meticulous cleaning of facilities. Gorgeous setting, with a fairly good beach... rocky bottom, so bring your water shoes. Great location in Kihei, only minutes away from Wailea, and Lahaina. Only a couple disappointments that didn't yield a 5 out of 5 for our overall experience. With a Family including kids under 10, the pool was very restrictive for noise, pool toys, and in general 'fun'. Feels like Maui Sunset has extended the resort to Family use over time, but is majority 'Senior owned' community. A bit frustrating to be sold a Family environment, but main amenity for the kids - the pool, is so limiting.... where pool toys, and games like Marco Polo are a no-no. We were spoken to by the 'activity coordinator' at the pool whom we labeled the fun police / pool nazi by the end of our trip, because our 5yr old was using his 'outside voice' playing with his 2yr old sister. Same with other families that our kids were playing with. Had a couple of Senior owners be passive aggressive to us in regards to the kids at poolside also. I would highly recommend this be communicated to families before they spend the money, because this could be a deal breaker for some families. Other issue were the room upgrades that were being completed next to our rooms, no advance notice. For three days there was loud construction activity happening from 8am - 5pm. So kids couldn't nap in the afternoon. Would have been nice to know in advance to manage our daily schedule differently. Again, outside of these two items that were more of a nuisance, Maui Sunset is a nice high quality resort, at a great location, at a very competitive and manageable cost! Most likely would consider it again when we come back!

Maui Get a way

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved location and pool. Rules posted at pool, what not to do, but nobody to enforce them. Kids throwing balls in pool. One person came down every morning and set aside lounge chairs for 8-10. They also saved 3 tables under the shade sails. Very intimidating to the rest of us. The furniture in unit needs to be updated. Washer and dryer are very old and loud. Microwave old, needs new appliances throughout. Bamboo furniture needs to go. Lights in front room not very good. We were in another unit that was updated and beautiful. This unit should of been updated at least 10 years ago.

Good location, good pool

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo is roomy, but AC does not work well. Room gets very hot. Bedrooms stay cool. A bit dated and minimal ammenities in condo if you are going to stay many days. No laundry soap, nothing for cooking except minimal dishes. Good view. Condos have a nice adult pool that is deep. Beach is shallow so not a swimming beach per say but nice view.Next to a public park which can be noisy on weekends But not too bad.In the 200$ range is fair. But 300$ plus is a bit pricey. Old building. Management was communicative about AC issues as it was broken at first, but still could use updating/replacing.Also no manual on using house. Could not get Wifi whole time and took two days to figure out TV as you had to press two buttons on remote at once to get off of the open screen. Ants attacked kitchen after food was out for about 1 hour. Did not expect that on 5th floor. If lower in price would stay again. Definitely for budget travelers. Would stay

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the location of Maui Sunset. This time however there were a few issues. 1 the hot tub didn't work for a few days. 2. There was 1 elevator working and we were on the 5th floor with a baby, so this was a hassle. 3. Finally the dishwasher was broke. This should have been communicated with prior as they did know. When you pay 9k for 2 weeks all the above start to matter. A refund for the issues would have been nice to see for a bit.
