Carolyn’s place is cozy and perfectly situated in South Kihei. As others have mentioned, it’s rights across the street from Kalama Park, RIGHT next to a surf shop and just down the road from several restaurants. It’s in the thick of things.
This spot is a great for a solo traveler or a couple. I think any more than two people would be too much - the space is fairly compact, what you see is what you get. Air conditioners work great in both the bedroom and living room (standing fan provide) plus two ceiling fans in both rooms respectively. You’ll be comfortable.
The snorkel and beach gear was a nice bonus. I left a few bottles of rum, so help yourself if there still there!
Living room is small and chic with a kitchen with everything you need and a small sofa to relax. Washing machine is a must-have as you are absolutely going to sweat in Maui.
I never found the road noise to be a problem. To be clear, this property faces South Kihei road, the main thoroughfare in/out of this neighborhood, so you are going to see and hear cars if all day if you’re outside on the grass on chilling at the pool. I never heard the road noise while sleeping and slept like a baby - bed is super comfy and the AC works like a charm.
Would definitely recommend Caroyln’s place and would love to stay again!
