Karen's place is perfectly situated to restaurants, groceries, etc. as well as being central to all things we wanted to see and do. It was very clean, a well stocked kitchen and she also supplied extra towels and beach gear which were very nice amenities to have access to. Here communication was also prompt and it was really nice to just let ourselves in with the keyless entry. It's in north Kihei, which is a bit quieter then south Kihei. However, it faces the main drag through town, so if you're wanting peaceful nature sounds, this might not be it. There was a lot of traffic noise so we needed to keep the window shut at night, but we would still be back.
