A lovely little appartment at Kihei. We enjoyed out stay here for three nights. The apartment is well decorated and meets all needs fot a couple. You can feel that the owners take good care and keep it well maintained. We even hot some fresh water and a local pineapple in the fridge upon arrival. The walls aren’t very well isolated and depending on your neighbors you might hear them. I believe that the base price is fair, but found that adding a sevond person (which almost doubled our total) is a pretty steep rise... We would anytime return and stay at this place...
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay in the studio! Sofia was super responsive in replying my messages and so thoughtful. Will definitely recommend this place!
Jun 27, 2019Best location for vacation next to everything the ocean is literally next too you recmond to anyone and everyone
Jun 27, 2019Philippe & Sofia were super nice to us and responsive. They helped us in every way they could. Bed was super comfy! Exactly what we needed after a full day in the heat. We loved it!
Jun 27, 2019The location was convenient, and the apartment was perfect for my stay. The only downside was that the parking permit was missing when I checked in, and it took a few days to get a replacement.
Jun 27, 2019This place has everything you need. It was very convenient. If you happen to forget something they will have it there for you to use. From the beach equipment to the toiletries. It was great having a kitchen to use. Location couldn't have been better. It is a lot closer to places than the main drag is. The neighborhood is really nice and safe. We drove the whole island and it is definitely one of the nicer\hip areas. Great places to eat close by. I'm so happy I booked this place instead of one of the hotels. A+
Jun 27, 2019The first day we arrived, we noticed the toilet seat was falling off the hinges. We figured it wasn't a big deal and would just be careful sitting down. A few hours after checking out they sent us a bill for a new toilet seat. Looked like regular wear and tear over time, but they wanted us to foot the bill. These guys were rude and accusatory. Just hope the a/c doesn't go out while you're there.
Jun 27, 2019Everything was as advertised. The apartment was clean and the hosts left some bottled water and snacks which was really appreciated as I arrived late in the evening. They were quite responsive to my questions. It's an ideal spot for a max of two people. Basic cooking facilities available, which is useful to manage the cost.
Jun 27, 2019Great Location, Very Quiet Area, with a Rooster as your alarm. If you have an issue with this, sorry to warn you but these little friends are all over Maui, Where ever you go. Near the Beach Park. Place was Clean and had a Nice soft bed to relax in after a all day of exploring. Phillippe and Sofia communication was awesome. Definitely only booking with them from here on out when I revisit.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay in Philippe & Sofia’s place was amazing! It was clean, quiet, functional and a great place to base yourself for your exploration of Maui. The place has everything you need including a eski (Aussie name for cooler) which we used every day. Host communication was quick and helpful. We would suggest having a car as it made our stay in Kihei much easier, efficient and allowed us to explore a lot of Maui. We would stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Neat, quiet, stylish place. Very close to the beach!
Jun 27, 2019This was a perfect little place. Great location! Quiet yet not far from everything.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice cozy and stylish place with everything you need. Beach is just across the road so no need to drive anywhere if you want to go for a swim. Very comfortable bed and quiet neighborhood, except for occasional morning roosters :) there’s some beach equipment to borrow if needed, very convenient. Stores close by. Very recomended!
Jun 27, 2019We can’t say thank you enough for such a wonderful stay! The studio was gorgeous, well kept, and there were so many thoughtful touches! Being in Kihei was the perfect spot for us, the local beaches and restaurants are unparalleled and it was an easy drive into Lahaina and Wailea. Our next trip to Maui will definitely include another stay with Philippe and Sofia! ❤️
Jun 27, 2019Great studio , perfectly located
Jun 27, 2019Philippe and Sofia offer a beautiful unit in a great location! The unit was immaculate when we arrived and Philippe and Sofia were more than happy to answer any questions we had prior to and throughout our stay. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Kihei!
Jun 27, 2019Location molto vantaggiosa in una posizione strategica. Parcheggio privato. Dimensioni alloggio ottime per soggiorni di breve durata. Completamente accessoriata di tutto il necessario per cucinare e soggiornare. Proprietaria disponibile e rapide nelle risposte sa aiutare il cliente.
Jun 27, 2019This was a wonderful place to stay , right in the middle of west Maui. Incredibly easy to check-in and great clean space. Thank you Philippe & Sofia!
Jun 27, 2019The studio was much larger than expected and very well equipped. Philippe & Sofia were super quick to respond, so much so that when I messaged them to say the batteries of the TV remote were no longer working, we got replacement batteries within 15 minutes. Couldn't have had better service at a 5* hotel.
Jun 27, 2019The size of this apartment is deceiving in pictures, it is much bigger than I expected! The location is great to access all areas of the island and the complex's amenities leave you needing nothing but to enjoy your time in Maui. Would 100% book again!
Jun 27, 2019The place is ideal for a two person getaway in Maui. It’s close to a ton of stores and across the street walking distance to a beach.
Jun 27, 2019Easy to find and it has everything you need, and more. We felt at home and walked to the beach early each morning. Love the decorating and beautiful orchids. We would definitely come back to stay!
Jun 27, 2019Great unit in Kihei. Bed is really comfy. Everything is clean. Had a great time there.
Jun 27, 2019The location is perfect! The layout of the home is comfortable and makes you feel right at home! Perfect price for a great place!
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful place with all the essentials! Right across from the beach and conveniently located to drive to different places of Maui.
Jun 27, 2019Great location (beach across the street) with minor downsides (apartment seems to has been in use for quite a while). Very soft bed.
Jun 27, 2019This place is in a great location! Less than a 15 minute drive to the Maalaea harbor (where a lot of the snorkel excursions take place). You can walk right across the street to the beach and have the best shaved ice a mile down from Ululani’s (must have!). Overall great experience, thanks!
Jun 27, 2019Great location in Kihei, place was accurately described, check in and out was easy and convenient. Would stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Lieber Philippe und Sofia, wir haben zum ersten Mal mit Airbnb gebucht und es hat uns sehr gut in eurer Wohnung und auch in Kihei gefallen, es ist alles so liebevoll eingerichtet, nahe zum Zentrum, nahe zum Strand, die Grösse für zwei Personen ist ideal. Wir würden diese Wohnung auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Danke und liebe Grüsse Martha
Jun 27, 2019The Aloha Studio was a great place to stay at for our first time in Maui. The location was perfect for exploring all parts of the island and just what we needed to come back and recover at after our longs days out in the sun. The beach across the street was also lovely for watching the sun set at the end of the day. Mahalo!
Jun 27, 2019This place was great. Easy check in and good location. Provided extras like chairs and coolers and beach towels. Would recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Unit was sparkling clean and in a great location in Kihei. Hosts were very friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend.
Jun 27, 2019This condo is in a great location, close to many parks, beaches, and restaurants! The condo is a bit dated, but overall clean and comfortable place to rest after a long day of adventures!
Jun 27, 2019Nice Home! Outstanding Location! Certainly Meets Expectations. Exactly as described. The attention to detail from these hosts and the value for the location sets this home apart! Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your home, it was a great addition to our trip.
Jun 27, 2019Philippe and Sofia were great hosts. They were quick with responses and had a book of recommendations at the apartment. The apartment looked exactly as pictured - very charming. The bed was comfortable and the window AC unit worked very well and cooled the room to the desired temperature within minutes. The best part was the location! It’s directly across from a cute little beach where the snorkeling was fantastic!
Jun 27, 2019Good place to stay. Pool was nice and by the beach. Slow at responding though, and forwarded our calls to voicemail the day we were arriving—made us think we had fallen for an AirBnB scam plus we had tickets for something we were hurrying to get to. All good in the end though. Maybe we caught them on a bad day.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful and convenient location. the bed was so comfortable which was such a bonus! Very thoughtful touches throughout the apartment
Jun 27, 2019Philippe and Sofia’s was great! It was just like the pictures. Kihei is a bit quieter, but if that is what you are looking for, then you will love it! I especially liked how they supplied beach gear like towels and chairs. They also suggested some great restaurants and things to do. It’s within walking distance to a few restaurants and a grocery store. We really liked staying there.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Amazing amenities. They have beach chairs, snorkeling gear, beach towels. Their bed is so comfy. Sofia and Phillip was very responsive.
Jun 27, 2019AMAZING HOST. There was an issue on my part of checking out but they were very understanding and super accommodating. A super cozy location with plenty of privacy.
Jun 27, 2019Condo was as expected! The check in process was very easy, Philippe and Sofia were quick to respond, and the place was very clean. It was in a great location in Kihei, with the beach right across the street. We were a bit warm at night, even with the AC and fan going, but that might be our cold Canadian blood. Good value for Maui!
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed staying at this place. It’s in a great location near nice beaches and restaurants. Philippe and Sofia also provided us with beach chairs, towels, mats, and a cooler which were very helpful. We definitely recommend this place.
Jun 27, 2019We had a fantastic stay at Philippe and Sofia’s place. There was so much to do between relaxing in the pool and spa and visiting the beach which is right across the road. The kitchen was also good so that we could occasionally cook when we were sick of eating out.
Jun 27, 2019Philippe and Sofia's place was a great stay. When we got there, everything was set up for 2 people. The place was clean, and welcoming. the complex has a BBQ and pool. It is also located right across from the beach. We loved the location. It is conveniently located with everything you need nearby (Safeway, restaurants, etc). Kihei has a great mix of people and isnt overwhelming. I would highly recommend staying at Philippe and Sofia's place.
Jun 27, 2019This place is in a great location. If you want to see turtles and enjoy the view of whales swimming while you sip of your morning coffee, this is the place for you. This condo is located across from Kalepolepo beach. There is tons of turtles there. The condo is very clean. It’s small but it has everything you need.
Jun 27, 2019This was a great place to stay in Kihei. The location was excellent, right across the street from the beach. Check-in was super easy and everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived!
Jun 27, 2019Had a great stay at Philippe and Sofia’s place!
Jun 27, 2019Place was just as described in the photos and right across from the beach
Jun 27, 2019Philippe and Sofia’s place was perfect for my husband and I. The home was in a great location in Kihei. Close enough to a beach for us to hop across the street to watch the sunset from. They left us beach towels to use, a cooler, and snorkel gear which made it so easy for us to pack up and go! The beach chairs were also an excellent addition to our Big Beach days - which took us only twenty minutes to get to from our place. The bed was so soft and comfortable and everything was very clean and neat. A lovely place to stay for a vacation! We highly recommend this vacation home to everyone!
