This was a perfect place to stay for a first time in Maui. Kihei is an excellent central location, we did both Haleakala and the road to Hana and both times it was an easy drive to get to. A half hour drive to Paia and Lahaina and twenty minutes from some beautiful beaches in South Maui. The place itself is excellent, it is plenty of space, is very clean and feels like home. It is well stocked with towels, beach chairs, an umbrella, snorkel gear, sunscreen, and even some hats. The full kitchen is super helpful if you’re trying to save a bit of time or money and not eat out for every meal. The AC keeps the unit comfortable, but it is wonderful to leave the sliding door onto the patio open and listen to the ocean. The hosts were very easy to get in touch with and were even flexible about our check in time when we got into Maui early. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough and I look forward to staying here again.
