Fantastic location if you want to stay right it town and don't need to drive around. We stayed here to focus on SUP and surfing across the street at Kihei Cove and Kalama Park. Couldn't have picked a more convenient and enjoyable location. The 5th floor oceanside view was amazing, we could watch the conditions across the street from anywhere inside the condo and when the waves and tides were best, simply go downstairs, cross the street and pick out our SUP or surf boards for the day from Maui Wave Riders (where your host occasionally works as well) and be in the water in about a minute. The park across from the condo was really nice too, grass lawns, bathrooms and showers were all available and the park nicely maintained. Kihei Cove and Kalama Park are primarily a gentle beginner's break which was perfect for us, our only real concern was not hitting any sea turtles while paddling around and riding the waves (seriously)!
The condo was very nice, clean and well appointed. It's also right in the center of South Kihei and there's a lot of activity in the area so there is a little street noise to contend with but it's not bad. Between the generous kitchen area and incredible view from the lanai, we ended-up walking just few minutes to any number of restaurants or food trucks for delicious take-out and simply bringing it back to the condo to eat out on the lanai while watching the sunsets. We were even treated to numerous whales cruising by one evening. There's a lot of various eateries located nearby but you don't need to spend a fortune for great, fresh food, especially take-out (where many of the locals go). Don't miss Joy's Place which is conveniently located on the bottom floor of the condo unit, the Vietnamese food truck and the South Maui Fish Co. food truck located a block away. If you prefer great sit-down dining, there's plenty of places to choose from, all a short walk away.
Of special note was the condo's host, who also lives in the building and can answer any questions you might have or help you with anything you need. Genuine Aloha. Mahalo Ss! We'll be back.
