This cottage is perfect. If you're looking for a place to stay in Kihei then look no further.
Dean and Katherine were very welcoming and provided a quick tour of the cottage (along with a nice welcome kit). The cottage is nicely tucked away and is very private. The place is gated and parking is available at the end of the drive way. From there it is a short walk to the cottage. The unit is surrounded by plants as well as numerous fruit trees (bananas and avocados). You'll feel like you're in a jungle...
Inside you'll find everything you need: ample space, 2 bed rooms, bathroom (shower head was awesome), TV (HDMI), refrigerator, microwave, coffee machine, wi-fi, kitchen table, patio, etc. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook.
There is also an outside shower, which is perfect when you want to clean up all the sand from the beaches without bringing it into the unit.
Dean and Katherine also have bunch of beach gear that they will lend you: snorkeling mask and fins, beach towels, boards, chairs, sun block, etc. Most of the stuff is in a box next to the parking space or inside the unit itself. The snorkeling items were kept in the garage which Dean will happily lend out.

There is a park located south of the cottage. This is a perfect place if you want to do a bit of walking or just enjoy the perfect Maui weather (I did quite a bit of jogging here).
Kihei has a lot of amenities around it. Great breakfast places, coffee shops, restaurants, gas station, Maui brewing, etc. You'll find that its a quick drive to all other spots on the island and provides a perfect home base. It's about 20 mins or so from the airport (OGG).
I can't say enough good stuff about this place. Stay here....you will not regret it.
