Dan's place is AWESOME! What an amazing place to call home for a week. Impeccably pristine condo located in a great area of Kihei. Close enough to town to run quick errands and yet far enough from town to feel like you have gotten away from the tourists.
Dan has pulled out all of the stops in his inaugural AirBnB offering. The condo has everything you need to enjoy your stay with. A closet full of beach items also meant that we did not have to worry about buying our own. We took full advantage of the chairs, umbrella's, cooler bags and ice, snorkel sets and beach towels. The kitchen was stocked with everything one will need to cook. The kitchen also has a filtered water tap which produced great drinking water as did the refrigerator dispenser. Top of the line appliances, furnishings and decorations made his place feel like a 5 star resort!! A smart TV, cable and Wifi make the place feel like home. The bidet was an unexpected bonus!!
The balcony faces almost due west and is a great place to watch the sunset from. It sits on the fifth floor so the view is amazing and unobstructed. The beach is a short walk from the place and is perfect for morning walks during low tide. Each afternoon the trade winds blew something fierce from the north and we were glad that the building was made from concrete block as any other type of building may have been rocking! He has several guide books and a map of the island that are great references for your adventures. Nights are VERY quiet and relaxing.
The ABC store #51 (2349 S Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI 96753) is one of 2 on the island that has a deli and I highly recommend them for a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner. Only 3 or 4 miles but 15 minutes away due to speed limits and traffic. The offerings there rival any restaurant and are great for grab and go breakfast/lunch/dinner on the beach. Try the fried rice and spam musubi (get it early because it'll be gone by lunch time)
I had the opportunity to meet Dan and chat with him a couple of times. Super friendly and willing to offer advice and help if needed. So much more could be said and nothing negative can even be thought of. I HIGHLY recommend Dan's place and cannot think of a better place to call home for my first visit to Maui.
