Barbaras place is the perfect spot to stay while on the island. We stayed 10 days in the apartment and enjoyed it very much. With many small details the apartment exudes a Hawaiian atmosphere so that you feel comfortable from the first minute on.
Barbara provides a lot of beach stuff in her apartment (mat, towels, chairs, fins, .....) so read the description carefully to not pack too much and leave space for souvenirs 😉
The whole apartment complex is very well maintained and a quite, relaxing oasis.
Kihei and the surrounding area (Wailea) has very good beaches and is also a central starting point for further island excursions.
I hope that I have the chance to come back to Maui and then I will definitely check whether Barbara's Apartment is available.
