Looking for a cheaper place to stay that is really close to the beach? Then this is your place. The location is great. The south side of Kihei offers plenty of good places to eat, and the beach right across the street from where the condo is located is lovely. It offered a great place to go for a walk, sunbathe, boogie board, swim, and snorkel with sea turtles (really!).
The condo itself, however, is kind of sparse. It is in need of some updating, as most things in the unit appeared aged and well used, to put it nicely. There was a TV but the DVD player wouldn't work. The kitchen lacked some basic things like cooking oil or common spices. Only two tiny bars of soap and no shampoo were provided, which we quickly used up.
The unit was well stocked with towels, and had some boogie boards, beach chairs, and even a little cooler, among other things, that were helpful with enjoying the island.
In conclusion, if I were to come back to Maui I would have no hesitation staying in Kihei or the group of condos where this one was located, but I would spend a little extra time and money looking for an updated unit over this one.
