Pros: this apartment is right in the heart of Kihei, directly across the street from Beach II, and beside several restaurants, a gas station and a beach rental shop. Parking is included. There is a pool (though, we didn't use it), and a hose at the security gate to clean off sand. The rental is stocked with floaties, folding beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys as well as dishwasher tabs, coffee and shampoo and conditioner samples. The washer and dryer were a huge plus (pack or buy laundry soap). Zahida is extremely responsive.
Cons: roaches. When we arrived, there was a live, very large roach in the bathtub and two, dead roaches in the main room. We followed Zahida's instructions to plug the bathtub, but each day, we found at least one more roach. At one point, I was brushing my teeth and roach crawled up my leg. Beyond this, the mattress on the fold out couch bows heavily in the middle and the sleeping pillows were entry level. Finally, cleaning could be improved by cleaning under the couch (visible when the couch is pulled into a bed).
General info: the main bedroom has window a/c. The main room (couch bed) does not, but the ceiling fan in combo with the floor tower fan were sufficient to keep the room comfortable. Bring additional shampoo, conditioner and body wash, as samples are provided but they are small. The remotes weren't working, but I changed the batteries and - in retrospect - I think the bedroom and the main room remotes had been swapped (as they are identical). The kitchen hanging lights can be dimmed or brightened.
