If location and kitchen are main priorities this place is great. But before you book, read this:
1) you’re on the bottom floor. The floor above you seems to be a two story condo. It’s EXTREMELY LOUD! You can literally hear every single footstep above you. I’m not kidding. I’ve lived on the bottom floor of every apartment I’ve lived. I’ve never heard footsteps THIS LOUD. My wife and I lost a lot of sleep while we visited because every night the group above us was running upstairs during “quiet hours.”
2) Kelli said she would talk to the on-site manager about the sound, but it did not help with the sound.
3) Parts of the kitchen cabinets were falling apart.
4) Dishes were supposed to be clean, when we arrived some utensils and cups seemed to be dirty and sticky.
5) No laundry detergent for us even though they ask you to start a load of laundry before you leave.
6) Snorkeling gear provided was one adult and one kid mask. My wife sacrificed so we didn’t have to rent gear. Multiple boogie boards, floaties, etc.
The good:
1) The pool is good, but lots of screaming kids at times, sort of to be expected.
2) The kitchen is nice.
3) Location is great if you’re wanting to be central to everything in Kihei, food, beaches, only about 35-40 min from Lahaina.
