The location is superb, both in terms of the beach --not rocky so great for kids, swimming and long walks, unlike other parts of Kihei's coastline-- and in terms of driving it's also great, as it's located near the highway and North Kihei is in the middle of Maui, so it's easy to get to all parts of the island. We really enjoyed BBQ'ing in the evenings while listening to the ocean waves, and making friends with the residents/other guests who frequented the common grassy area next to the beach. Gloria is very responsive as a host. When some items needed repair, she was very attentive.
