Jim’s place was just as described and the location was spectacular. Just an elevator ride away from a beautiful sandy beach and the view from the lanai was spectacular. I also liked that we were a 5 minute walk from the Kihei boat ramp where we were able to depart for a snorkeling trip and a whale watching trip. There is a kayak rental place at the resort. We rented kayaks on-site and launched from the beach in front of the resort. Within 5 minutes we saw a pod of whales breaching. It was amazing.
There are a number of restaurants within walking distance in Kihei. But we had a picky eater traveling with us so we also did a fair amount of cooking in our unit and found the unit contained everything we needed.
I would definitely stay here again.
