Carole created quite possibly the perfect stay for us while in Kihei. Carole's guest bedroom is spacious, with an immaculately clean on-suite bathroom, a roomy closet for hanging clothes and storing belongings, two portable air conditioning units, and a ceiling fan. Guests are allowed full access to the living room, kitchen (with your own dedicated shelf), and picturesque patio. The whole place has a very Zen feel. Did I mention her condo is a 5-minute walk to the beach, popular with surfers and paddleboarders? Carole herself is a warm and hospitable host, offering coffee and banana bread in the mornings, as well as tips on the best restaurants and things to do in the area. We particularly enjoyed her recommendation of Fabiani's Italian restaurant (a local favorite that tourists sometimes miss). Carole also went above and beyond to mail me an item that I left behind. We have every intention of staying with Carole again, when our travels take us back to the beautiful island of Maui.
