So close to the beach! Very clean, easy check-in, condo looks the same in person as in the pics. Kihei is located in an interesting part of the island - closer to the airport and the Road to Hana than other areas but farther from the west side - which we didn't realize until we got there. We booked some excursions out of Lahaina because it looked fairly close on the map but it's about 40 minutes away. The drive to LH is beautiful though and there are some gorgeous roadside beaches where you can just pull off the highway and jump into the ocean. (The condo provides beach chairs which we kept in the car so we could enjoy different spots on the island when we stumbled across them.) Back at the condo - the AC is in the living area and the bedroom only has a fan so it got a little warm at night. There are a million birds and chickens outside that will wake you up in the morning but you should get up anyway and enjoy Hawaii so we didn't mind the early "wake-up call". The beach is close so you can spend a little time there and run back to the condo to get ready for something else. Spruce yourself up and go back around 6pm for the sunset to get a perfect Hawaii photo or just bring the chairs to enjoy the watching it and maybe catch a glimpse of turtles or rays. You can also watch the sunset from the balcony if you want! Restaurants and shops are a 5 minute walk away. Fish tacos at Coconuts are delicious, there's a breakfast place in the same shopping center that had great coffee and cinnamon rolls. Fred's has $5 tacos and margaritas on Tuesdays. Up the street (maybe a 15 minute walk? We drove.) is a Starbucks but skip them and go to the back of the parking lot where you'll find a little food truck run by a local couple called Maui Ono Donuts with made-to-order donuts and great coffee - $4 for coffee and a donut - and totally worth the calories! We intended to cook at the condo and it has everything to do so but we ended up eating out b/c there were so many little cute, reasonably priced spots close by. Kihei is super laid-back and beachy and the condo is situated nicely for the area. Keyless entry, assigned parking, CB Vacations called to check on us. We didn't need anything but we had access to them if we did. Great stay!
