Great location and great flat. We enjoyed staying here. It is so hard to find a two bedroom with a full kitchen on the beach.
This one worked great for our family. Comfortable and more spacious than expected.
The beach is totally swimable. Ancient Hawaiian fish pond/ Sheltered cove is great for toddlers. Pool is more than adequate for cooling off. Propane BBQs at beach and roof are stupendous. Roof view is outstanding.
Lawn and grounds are well maintained and lovely. Top floor feels secluded in a good way.
Beach tends to be silty and not great snorkel visibility though we did see multiple turtles. Coral reef is mostly missing for snorkel but swimming is lovely and so would SUP/Kayak if you have a boat.
North side Kihei location is not in the middle of the Kihei action. But there is also then no traffic to quickly get out to other places on Maui for day trips.
Turnkey is a responsive host though not having a local host can create challenge for small things that need onsite attention.
