The location was great for us! The beach was really close, and was good for swimming, laying out, or snorkeling. There were sea turtles right there. My teenagers took surfing lessons about a mile north of the condo, at Kamala Park. It was really convenient, and the waves there were really great for beginners - long-lasting and gentle. We toured a lot of the island (snorkelled at Olowalu, went scuba diving out of Lahaina, and drove the road to Hana. Kihei worked well as a home base for all of our adventures.
The condo was clean and well kept, had beach toys to use, and a nice lanai that we enjoyed in the evenings. The building was quiet. The communication was great, and the attendant at the front desk had great recommendations for which beaches to visit.
