Kaon was a stellar host, do not hesitate to book if his place is available! You are 1 block from the beach with the best turtle snorkeling. You're well situated in south Kihei a few blocks from 2 local shopping strips (food, bars, snacks, souvenirs, clothes, gear rentals eg surfboards, snorkel gear).
Kaon's local insider tips are amazing, his deep experience in the tourism industry means that his insider tips actually translate into fun experiences (as opposed to the random stuff you'll get from some guy at a bar or your taxi/uber driver). Not only does Kaon have great recommendations for free things to do, places to hit up, best snorkel locations, secret beaches, and great places to eat/drink, but also great recs for tours and vendor providers, tourist trap things to avoid and things to beware of.
Kaon's a very generous host who gives you as much space as you need. your space is the whole upstairs area with your own bathroom and is very private. I traveled as a single woman and felt very safe in the apartment and in Kaon's company.
