This was our first time staying on Maui and we are glad we chose to stay in Kihei.
Melissa's place was great, it had a really well stocked kitchen in terms of useful appliances and pots pans. We also had some time Tommy Bahama beach chairs (the nicer more comfortable beach chairs that you can wear as a backpack) along with a boogie board. We often used the TV in the living room in the evenings after getting a Redbox dvd from the Foodland up the street.
We only used the pool area once but it was a nice area with a jacuzzi and gas BBQ grills.
The porch view was nice being on the 3rd floor. There was plenty of parking available but the only downside is that the parking lot was a little bit of a walk to the unit since the unit is in the middle of the condo structure. It's really not a big deal, the only example I can think of it being annoying was if you left something in the car.
The condo is located a short walk from a nice trio of beaches, and all the stores you would need were either a short drive or walk away. Great restaurants, rental stores, and a couple of grocery stores.
Overall great stay and would definitely stay there again.
