A truly beautiful location, stunning views, and all the comforts of home. Where do I begin…? Location — head down the steps, through the gate, and you are in a beautiful outdoor living space right on the beach. In the evening people gather for sunset, the outdoor kitchen, and the ambiance. In the morning people gather for coffee and sunrise. There is an outdoor shower for sand removal right where you enter/exit the beach. If you head left, you come to the Kihei Canoe Club. They do sunrise visitor paddles on Tues/Thurs I highly recommend. Just past the club you will see a small fishing pier — there are a pair of sea turtles that were there for our entire 10-day stay. You can walk about a mile and a half in this direction (one way). In the morning you may encounter sting rays swimming along the beach in this area. Our visit was late December so whales were a regular sight. If you walk in the opposite direction it’s another 3-miles “one way”. Point being, round trip I recorded 8-miles of walkable beach on the AllTrails App including the boardwalk pond. There weren’t any crowds like the beaches in Florida or California for Christmas Break. There were people, but absolutely no crowds in this area. The water is warm compared to FL and CA — we enjoyed our swims. The location is very “central” for exploring the Island. Close to the airport, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. We traveled the entire island, road to Hanna, Olivine Pools (we did the stretch without guard rails and yes, I would do it again), Blowholes, whale watching from Lahaina, Snorkeling Molikini, Haleakala Crater, Waimoku Falls — no joke, we drove around the entire island and you couldn’t pick a more central place to stay as a starting point for any adventure. There you have it, the beach and physical location are reason enough to want to stay at Silvia & Jeffs. The sparkling cleanliness, balcony views of the beach, pool with plenty of privacy, great parking, well appointed kitchen, easy access to laundry rooms, all the little extras in place (soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry detergent, plenty of towels). Fantastic communication from the hosts. This truly is a home away from home, spacious for a family of four, and full of thoughtful touches — we will be back.
