Would HIGHLY recommend Kelli’s place! Reasons below:
1. EXCELLENT location. Kihei is the perfect place to stay, centrally located between West Maui, South Maui (la perouse), Hana, and Haleakala crater. Staying on west Maui adds 40 mins driving to get to most places. And you are a 2 min walk from the beach right across the street.
2. The Airbnb itself is incredibly clean, beautiful and spacious. The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, baking dishes, a rice cooker, and a toaster, and coffee machine. You will have to buy your own oil/salt and pepper. There is free laundry inside the Airbnb which is a great perk! Also the Airbnb has a grill in the central pool area! Drive to the nearest grocery store (5 mins away) and grill up some ahi with veggies! Additionally, the wifi is excellent.
3. Kelli provides boogie boards, 2 beach chairs, plenty of beach towels, and a cooler. This was super nice and unexpected! The cooler was very helpful to take along on day trips, since the car gets hot!
4. Lots of delicious restaurants nearby! Coconuts fish tacos, local boys shaved ice, Maui pies! All 5 min drive away.
5. There is a sweet welcome note and box of chocolates when you arrive in the Airbnb. There is also Hawaiian coffee and a coffee machine!
We stayed for a week and would 100% stay here again the next time we come to the island! It’s wonderful for couples and families who want to save money by cooking and also have a wonderful experience on the island!
