Awesome.
The South Beach Villa is a great place to entertain, relax and enjoy the Maui experience. It is walking distance to stores of all types which makes it nice for the occasional need for supplies if needed. The pool and hot tub are very nice and were enjoyed by everyone, especially our kids. The view from the back of the house is perfect for viewing the sunsets in the evening.

A terrific 11 day vacation
The property management team was first rate from the initial booking, to handling our requested extras to meeting on site for a tour and review of property features to an on time cleaning crew. The property was ready to go the minute our party of six adults and three children arrived.
The house and grounds were completely as promised and as shown in the photos with:
• full AC, screens and fans, great TV and stereo system,
• three bedrooms up, two down, all but one are en-suite, only the master has a bath tub, all the rest have showers,
• master suite is huge with a great lanai looking over the pool and out to the ocean,
• comfortable beds and linens, more than enough towels etc., complete and well stocked kitchen, beer fridge in the garage
• dining room can handle ten plus five at the kitchen island
• fabulous pool (80 degrees plus) and spa (all on timers), a pool ramp area that works great for toddlers
• full sized BBQ beside the pool (although it could use some lighting and a

I'll never forget my son's comment, this is an 11 out of 10!
Absolutely perfect location, South Beach provided us with the convenience of being to walk to shopping yet allowed us the privacy to enjoy our family time! The beach area in front of the house was never busy and the sunset was phenomenal. The house itself was perfectly appointed, my only regret was that each bedroom didn't have an ocean view!

Fantastic home with all amenities and extras such as large bottles of shampoos made it feel even more like a luxury home. Well positioned to shops an other attractions.

A Relaxing and Fun Time in Kihei.
We had 10 adult family members that spent 8 days in the villa. The accommodations were great; plenty of room for everyone. Appreciated the well-stocked kitchen in terms of cooking pans, tableware and glassware that easily met our needs. The lanai and pool areas were always in use. At sunset we would all gather in the left patio seating area for cocktails and the colorful sky. The home's location is close to markets and walking distance to Stella Blues for fantastic breakfasts. Lots of beach/pool items are provided, and we rented 2 paddleboards for the week and used them most mornings at sunrise to paddle out on a very calm, beautiful ocean. Afternoons got windy, but the patio is well protected with a glass fence. A super time with the family!

We had a fabulous vacation.
The house was great! Loved how everyone had their own bedroom, bathroom and tv. The house had everything we needed and then some. Loved the location and view!

Luxury Retreats exceeded my high expectations.
The South Beach property in Kihei on Maui was just as the description and photos advertised---I was FLOORED that it was as gorgeous as the listing. Because we were on a family vacation, the best part about the South Beach property was the kitchen and the giant island--we could all sit around it and visit with that gorgeous view of the ocean, especially during spectacular sunsets. The site contact, Melissa, was awesome! We asked for some special things (a shower chair for my grandmother), and every request was happily satisfied.

A great place to entertain, relax, and enjoy.
South Beach is a great house for entertaining. We stayed here with a large group along with the property next door, Hale Uluniu. The South Beach house was definitely the preferred house to hang out for our large group, mostly due to the large open spaces inside and out. The kitchen is large and open and can accommodate multiple people working at once. The pool and patio area was easily large enough to accommodate our large group of 20 people. The kids loved the pool and the hot tub can accommodate 8-10 adults with ease, there are plenty of lounge chairs and outdoor seating areas that it was even possible to get some peace and quiet with such a large group. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate the 3 families staying here, 6 adults and 5 kids. Although, the house can be a bit noisy with a large group given the architecture and stone floors throughout. We would definitely return in the future, if we had to host a large group again.

Everything we hoped for and more!
We enyoyed the comforts and luxury of the South Beach Villa. We were there to host dinners for a management meeting for 10-12 folks and the Villa provided all we needed and more. From the spacious kitchen to the backyard lanai, all was as expected, if not more. The gas grill worked to perfection and we especially appreciated the backup fridge/freezer for our refreshments.

Regina A.  - March 7, 2011

wonderful
The house not only met our expectations but exceeded it. Every need was anticipated, from shampoo's, conditioner,bath soap to laundry soap, if you needed it, it was provided. Very clean and well kept.

We had a wonderful time.
The villa was great, especially the pool. It's design worked out well for our small grand children. The wifi was also a big plus. I didn't know until my sons showed me that they could run their netflix account throught their iPhones on the main TV. That kept the kids busy when they weren't in the pool.
It would have been nice if the garbage pickup schedule would have been posted. We could have had more garbage in the curbside container if we would have know the schedule. As it turned out we hadended up with a pile of bags in the garage. The only other problem was the microwave quit after the first three days.

Relax and luxury
South Beach is a real nice Villa, very clean (excellent housekeepers) and comfortable, the swimming pool is beautiful and all works very good! There is only a little problem: the beach. It is not beutiful, there isn't a real beach and the sea is full of seaweeds. To go to the sea is obligatory to take the car to arrive at others beaches (but in Maui you must do it!)

A Slice of Heaven
Our party of nine had a wonderful vacation at South Beach (we should've stayed ten days instead of 8 :) It was clean, well-stocked and turn-key for all of us to move in for a week! Tim Ellis took wonderful care of us and was very responsive during our entire stay. Our only problem was the neighbors next door (the condo complex to the right of South Beach as you are looking from the street). We were a very low key group and they continuously bothered us about our music being too loud, while we respected the curfew hours of the villa. Perhaps it is where the outside speakers are located? It bothered us quite a bit given the amount of money we paid to stay at South Beach. Perhaps it was the party of 14 who came before us, left a mess and laid the groundwork for combativeness with us?! Other than that annoyance, South Beach was a slice of heaven!

Laura C.  - July 27, 2010

Our stay at South Beach was indulgent and relaxing.
We were thrilled with South Beach from the moment we stepped inside. Our love for the place continued as ever item we needed was provided for in this well stocked house. Plenty of bath towels, beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, snorkel gear, cooking items the list goes on and on. The house is in a perfect location. It afforded us an opportunity to visit many local beaches which were less than 10 minutes away. It was the perfect vacation home. Our experience was excellent. Melissa does a great job managing the property.

Shannon M.  - July 20, 2010

We enjoyed our family reunion.
We liked the fact that the South Beach house was next to the Hale Ulumi.
They had beautiful location and we could access the two houses very easily.
It lacked the nice covered patio that the Hale Ulumi had. Not a good space for ten people to eat so for breakfasts we gathered here because we ate in stages.
The air conditioner was a real problem.
