We spoke to Randy on the phone prior to staying there and he was really helpful. We got some great advice since it was our first visit to the island. As for the apt it was exactly as shown. We really enjoyed having coffee each morning on the balcony while watching the sun rise. This is as close as you can get without sleeping on the beach. One of the most important things for us was to be with in walking distance of the beach and we got that. They have all the beach towels, umbrella, cooler ect plus the condos have loungers and chairs which you are free to use. A convenience store was a short walk on the beach anytime we needed something. It really fulfilled everything we were looking for. Kihei is centrally located.
