We really enjoyed our stay at Gary and Brian's in Kihei. The beach across the street was perfect for us. We appreciated the beach chairs provided, recommend renting an umbrella just down the street.
Liked being able to walk to places for dinner--really enjoyed Coconuts and Moose McGillycuddy's. Also the Maui Brewing Company which we had to drive to. Very convenient location from which to take day trips in Maui.
