Anke is a great host and her condo had perfect accommodations for our family. With three adults and two small kids (3 and 5 yrs.) we felt like we had plenty of space and privacy. We stayed for five nights in early September and found the condo complex to be very clean and quiet with ample parking and a great central location.
The condo is on the second floor pretty easily accessible by stairs from the parking lot - which is great if you're dragging kids and beach toys around. Anke has a number of boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, etc... in the condo for our use which is very nice. There is a view of the pool and the western sky from the lanai (balcony patio) which has tables and chairs big enough to have a meal outside if you wish.
The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need to cook almost any kind of meal... even a blender to make juice from the amazing local produce. There are four very clean gas grills in the pool area - in fact there is a full kitchenette at the pool, so if you are inclined to grill outside I highly recommend it, especially around sunset!
The pool itself is well sized with plenty of room for a swim plus a large shallow area for kids who might not be the best swimmers. We found the water to be very clean and warm without too much chlorine at all. There is a hot tub and a small beach is walking distance from the pool across a grass lawn. The swimming is a little tough here because of the rocks, but it is convenient to have nearby beach access for walks or for kids to play in the sand.
Anke keeps her condo very clean and communicates immediately if you have any questions or concerns. We had a minor problem with a screen door and she got back to me right away offering to send a repairman if we wished - it wasn't a big problem at all, but we knew that she was very willing to help out with anything we needed.
The location of the condo in Kihei was extremely convenient for us: about forty minutes to Lahaina, fifteen minutes to Wailea, twenty minutes to the airport... this of course is in early September, so maybe drive times are longer during the busy season. There is a commercial center within walking distance with a drug store, supermarket, restaurants, etc... Also there is a funky craft fair/flea market nearby with good prices on kitschy souvenirs and an excellent fruit stand.
Overall, I have nothing but good things to say about our experience here and highly
recommend staying with Anke!
