Good location for walking to beach, restaurants, and groceries. Many more great restaurants reachable by bus or a short drive. I highly recommend Miso Phat! We found souvenir shopping and bars/nightlife to be better in Lahaina than Kihei.
One cleanliness note: There were no problems at all inside the unit, but we did see roaches outside. Keep doors/windows shut and be careful what you bring inside. There were signs up around the building that pest control was coming that week.
