We loved staying in Kihei, and being walking distance to Ulilani's shave ice & the farmer's market at Joe's place. Even though it's a sea of giant condo buildings without the character of Paia or Lahania, and without the glitz of Wailei, we loved that it was central and and great home base for our adventures. Joe's place is a great value for the money -- our family of 4 (with kids 12 & 15) was very comfortable in Joe's place. Nice that there are twin beds in the second bedroom & that the kids had their own bathroom. Also really nice that there are a washer & dryer in the apartment (that wasn't clear to me from the listing). It's so awesome that Joe provides basic beach stuff like chairs & coolers & cold packs! The house has most of what you need to be comfortable, although we did have to buy more of key basics like TP, PT, bar soap. Another reviewer complained about the noise but I found it quiet enough (esp. in the master). Even without AC the house cools down quickly and is very comfortable. If you are looking for a spot in Kihei, and you want a great value, I recommend it! If you want swank go to Wailea or Lahania, and if you want character go to Paia or Lahania. and definitely do the road to Hana! (When you go Ulilani's, get the vanilla ice cream with your shave ice, and try the guacamole at the farmers market next door -- SO good!)
