The condo was a bit dated, but it more than suited our needs (3 adults and 3 children). We did not travel to Maui to stay in a room. We went there to enjoy the natural beauty the island provides. The condo was merely a place to shower and rest our heads each night after long days of activities. The unit was clean, we were provided plenty of towels (both bath and beach), and the neighborhood is quiet. It was huge plus that tons of beach equipment (umbrella, chairs, coolers, kids beach toys, etc.) were provided.
We love Kihei because of the local small town feel, and this condo is right in the heart of it. Plenty of locally owned restaurants and shops to visit (Kihei Caffe, Sugar Beach Bake Shop, Da Kitchen, Coconut's Fish Cafe, Maui Sweet Shoppe, to name a few). Feeling to lazy to drive to beach, no problem! The beach is only 150 yards away from the back of the building. It is quite rocky so water shoes or other protective gear is suggested. The rocks do create a natural break so there are barely any waves. However, this allows you to wade out over 100 yards while being only waist deep in water.
If you like the feel of staying in a place where locals live this is right up your alley. If you are looking more for the resort vibe with associated amenities, then you may be disappointed.
