This place has a great location. We love staying in Kihei, especially at Village by the Sea apartments. The apartment has a lot of potential to be better. I can tell that the property owner put in effort to make it look better, but whoever is managing the rentals is not doing a good job. The apartment was not clean; the dishes were used and probably just rinsed and put away, the curtains were dirty and ripped, the boards around the apartment were dirty, and some of the kitchen cabinets looked like they were falling apart. We ended up cleaning the apartment to feel comfortable, and the food that we bought to make breakfast was not used because I did not feel comfortable using the dishes. The toilet was leaking water. You can't see the beach from the balcony, which is not bad, just in case someone wants to know.
