This was our first time to Kihei and our family of 5 really enjoyed it. While there are plenty of tourists, Kihei feels different from other parts of the island like Lahaina and Kapalua, with more of a "locals" vibe. Great surf and paddle boarding in Kalama Cove, a couple beach volleyball courts too and we found ourselves at Kam I for sunset walks on the soft sand. Mike's place is an easy drive to everything in Kihei and a 5-10 min walk to Kam III, which has a huge grassy area. If you're prone to exploring more on the island, it's central to many places. Wailea is a short drive and we found ourselves taking a day trip to Hana and an afternoon/evening at Haleakala National Park.
Mike's place is clean, parking is close and extra touches like beach chairs, towels, snorkel gear, umbrellas and ice chest made our stay very convenient. A/C in all the rooms was nice for a couple of the hot days/evenings. The patio is great for morning coffee. Kitchen has all the pots, pans and utensils needed. We made it to the local grocery store and stocked up for the week. BBQ is a simple walk and viewable from the 2nd story dining room window.
Mike is an excellent communicator and responds quickly. Check in and check out was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again.
