This condo at the Kealia apartments in Kihei served as a great home-base for a 10 day exploration of Maui. The highlight was the lawn and beach-front access, which was comfortable, quiet, and uncrowded - perfect for days with a book and a beer by the beach. Additionally, because this is the northernmost part of Kihei, I'd recommend it for travelers who want slightly easier access to Lahaina and the other attractions of west Maui as it's just a bit closer. Also, full-time residents had plenty of aloha - we were made to feel welcome.
Three things to keep in mind:
1. This is a typical condo complex of the style built when Kihei popped up in the 70's and 80's. If you're looking for a glamorous resort experience, this might not be for you.
2. North Kihei Road is right in front of the building, making for easy access but occasionally noisy nights.
3. Kihei/south Maui in general can be very windy, even though it's technically leeward. Can be great on a hot day, but note that between the wind and the road it isn't the quietest spot on the island.
