We had a great time in Kihei. We stayed in kihei for 3 nights and the rest of our vacation near kannapali. I will say that we much preferred the west side Lahaina area. There are some neat snorkeling spots near this location. If you're a surfer stay on the north shore or west side. Not much surfing at all here. This property is pretty small without a full kitchen. It's very clean and nice, just small. Can walk to stores, restaurants etc.
