Dennis’ apartment is conveniently located in Kihei. It was prime location for those who intend to actually travel around the island. A great starting spot for Road to Hana, the summit, less crowded and very pretty beaches (did I mention less crowded …), etc. It’s also not very far from other popular locations like Lahaina and other resort areas. Personally, I preferred this location for a more low key vacation as those resort areas can feel extremely busy which take away from the Maui experience.
Upon walking in, you’ll be impressed by the spaciousness of the apartment. Plenty of space, nice decor, updated, full kitchen, etc. We did have one issue that made our stay uncomfortable. Upon walking in during check in we found a roach on the floor. I immediately texted Dennis and he mentioned this is unfortunately a known island problem. Apparently, they can get in from the drain (his exact words). He assured us they spray inside and out often and that he could send someone to spray within the day. I turned down that offer, but was on high alert the rest of my stay and never left anything on the floor. One night my clothes fell on the floor and when I went to pick it up another one was spotted. We were there for about 4 days so I emphasize I don’t think this apartment “has bugs” and it is palmetto bugs which don’t “live” indoors. However, I felt the need to mention it because some people have a real fear of these things and it would ruin their vacation. If this sounds like you and you aren’t from an area where you’re used to Palmetto bugs, you aren’t going to be able to relax. You may want to look elsewhere for a location higher off the ground.
You’ll also have access to a pool which came in handy the day we arrived when the near by beach was extremely windy. The parking is also convenient and I never had issues finding off street parking.
