The property is in the heart of Kihei, and is close to everything. We enjoyed having a beverage on the lanai while the kids played frisbee or kicked the soccer ball in the courtyard. It is walking distance to the beach - although the beach isn't for swimming. It was nice to walk down and look at the sunrise or the stars at night. We appreciated having the beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and cooler. The beds were extremely comfortable as well, and there is lots of space. The owner is very communicative and when we had an issue with leaving something behind, he and his housekeeper went the extra mile for us to retrieve it. I've read the reviews about the place needing updating, which is true. However, we were there to explore the island and the condo was a good home base for us and was very comfortable. I definitely recommend this place and is a great value.
