First, the resort is right on the beach, well kept, super quiet and has the nicest green area with a gorgeous tree and amazing view of the ocean. It's literally the first resort as you enter Kihei. Sherry, the manager, is super nice and accommodating. When I entered unit 309, I was so happy. Super clean, ac on, nicely remodeled with quality materials...granite counters
...and the furniture was cute. Felt like home and not like some beach condos tend to be. The bed is so comfortable. I did not expect that one of these hidden wall beds could be this comfortable. The sheets were so nice, soft and nice weight to them, that I intended to check their brand, but forgot. The kitchen has everything you need for small meals prep and everything looks new and clean. Also blender and toaster. All appliances look new. The coffee machine was not working so I told Sherry and expected a new one the next day or so, but she literally ran to the store and got a new one right away. The washer/drier in the bathroom are so handy and there was a complimentary bag of Tide pods. The lanai is perfect and I spent a lot of time there. Nice big TV for the little bit of time I was not enjoying the outdoors. The view from the lanai is beautiful and from the grassy area is amazing. I laid by the beach most of the day and stayed way passed sunset because the view is so gorgeous. It felt wrong to stay indoors with so much beauty to see from the property and the beaches nearby. I did not have a car so Sherry told me right away about ABC store, farmer's market and the amazing Sugar Beach Bakery, all within walkikg distance. I found everything I needed there but enjoyed walking on the beach all the way to center of Kihei when I wanted to eat out or visit other beaches. The unit had a couple of new rolls of toilet paper, Tide pods for laundry, dish soap, dishwasher soap, hand soap, a basket full of toiletries, iron and ironing board, bath towels, beach towels etc, just like a hotel.
This studio was perfect for me! Works great for a couple also.
Trash shoot in each floor was so helpful. Great parking if you have a car and I believe it's free.
I will definetelly go back to Kealia 309!
