It is hard to rate our stay as great/good/average/etc. because this was our first trip to anywhere in Hawaii and our first time using AirBnb, so I have little frame of reference. Hopefully these details can help others decide whether this unit is suitable for them: Location was great. Kihei is central to most places on island. We were in south Kihei, right near border with the posh town/development of Wailea. Lots of grocery stores nearby and places to eat ranging from full restaurants to taco trucks plus a gas station. We were near Kamaole Beach Park III, actually, we were 5 min walking distance so we could carry our beach stuff there and could spend the day there. By the way, the unit includes an assortment of beach gear including chairs, umbrellas, snorkels/masks, and some boogie boards. It was nice not to have to buy this or bring this stuff from home. This particular beach is very nice, has lifeguards, sand-rinsing facilities and bathrooms, and nice views of the coast and the other islands. After a morning of driving around looking for the perfect beach, I soon realized that the best beach for us was also the closest! Overall I think the location is this unit's greatest strength. The complex where this unit was located was very nice. Our view of the ocean was more of a view of a sliver of the ocean, but our lanai (this word seems to mean really just a private porch/balcony) overlooked the complex's central area, which was beautifully manicured with lots of nice palm trees, tropical flowers, etc. It was nice drinking beer and watching the sun set here, and the kids with us liked going out here too. There is a pool area with a main pool, jacuzzi, kiddie pool, etc. The complex is gated, which adds a slight level of security, and there was ample parking which was nice because our party had two vehicles. Most people staying here were other families--I read that Kihei had younger travelers and lots of bars, but this wasn't the case here. We did have to pay the complex about $36 to get a parking pass/use the pools/get WiFi access. WiFi did not work at all during our stay, which was annoying because I had to instead use my phone's data plan for a videoconference meeting. The unit has a good sized kitchen which allowed us to save money by only eating out once per day. There are plenty of dishes and silverware and some basic cooking supplies and spices and a dishwasher that worked well. We used the kitchen for storing leftovers, and also basic cooking like scrambled eggs. We did notice that the 1-2 cutting knives were quite blunt. There was a blender with 1-2 different glass pitchers, but we discovered after preparing ingredients in one pitcher for a smoothie that none of them fit into the blender! The washer/dryer was very nice, new, and worked well and we used it a...
