The penthouse was exactly as described. Rooms had great air conditioning and everything you would need to enjoy your stay. They were responsive when we asked for a toddler gate to block the stairs. Short walk to restaurants and the beaches. The accommodations lived up to what everyone previously has stated. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Inside Penthouse I
The open concept living area includes a full kitchen stocked with everything you need to make gourmet meals. A live edge monkey pod slab dining table seats six adults comfortably, while the leather wrapped chairs add a contemporary touch of elegance. A deep, comfortable sofa and chair and a wall mounted smart LCD TV round out the entertainment options in the living room. Designer lighting fills the space with a magical glow and a modern touch, while the air conditioning keeps everyone cool during the day. A private lanai hosts a concrete table for four with outstanding views of the manicured grounds, the ocean and the distant West Maui mountains.
The Master Suite is outfitted with a king bed and air-conditioning, and features stunning ocean views. Step out onto the lanai and enjoy the outdoors while seated at a bespoke concrete table and enjoy the sights of the surfers catching waves at the Cove Beach park. Built with just the right amount of roof overhang, the tiled lanai gives you ample shade when you want it and sunshine when you need it. The master bath is fully tiled from floor to ceiling, with a walk in, glass walled shower as the focal point. The stone counter tops and designer lighting tastefully add a warm touch to the space.
The upstairs guest suite features a queen bed, seating area and a full bath. High windows allow for soft lighting and great privacy. The seating area gives you space to unwind or enjoy your favorite read while staying cool in the air-conditioning. The ensuite guest bath has a walk in, glass walled shower as well as a stone topped vanity and designer lighting.
The air-conditioned downstairs suite comfortably sleeps two adults in the king sized bed. A large garden view window lets in plenty of sunlight, or drop the privacy shades for uninterrupted sleep at night. The bath is also fully tiled from floor to ceiling, adorned with the same stone counter tops and glass walled walk in shower.

Guest reviews
Gals penthouse 1 was nice. It had enough kitchen supplies to make a nice meal. It was comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay, especially the location in Kihei, the pool area, and the parking at the unit and extra parking available on a side street nearby. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We loved having a bathroom for each room. We would stay here again.
