This is at present my favorite place to stay in Kihei. Close to all areas of interest, beautiful beaches to walk in the mornings and evenings. the space has vaulted ceilings, with plenty of space for me to stay with my young growing traveler family. Six (5) aged 14 to 23, we still had plenty of space to feel like home. My son loves to cook and found plenty of the essentials to create the various meals for the family. Plenty of local establishments up and down the street from the property. The table on the balcony is huge and the property generally serene and quiet. My daughter and I were both working and we both had plenty of space for conference calls in the mornings while the rest of the team slept. (Bandwidth is good, cell signals 4 bars)
This unit has no air conditioning, but i was personally very pleased with that. (I am a minimalist, and even now am annoyed by the drone of someones air conditioner running in the morning silence.. in March?) Managing temperatures in hawaii is just a practice in managing air flow, and this unit has plenty of windows to create or stop airflow as needed to keep temperatures perfect! The unit is on the shady side of the property.
for surroundings, its hawaii. Its beautiful.. you have an amazing view of west maui.. If you follow the beach south just round the peninsula, there is a lovely spot that the turtles regularly play. We would go and watch them for hours until the sun set.
My young girls enjoyed counting the tiled turtles in the pool, and comparing that number with the tiled star fish. And then racing to see who could touch them the fastest.
A shout out to Maui Wave Riders of course which is also just down the road, where we spent many days with the younger girls learning to surf at what most destination reviewers agree is one of the best spots to learn to surf. The waters are easy, and the waves are sweet! We loved our stay and hope to be back here next time we are in Kihei!
