Loren's place is located basically across the street from a public beach in Kihei, and is around the corner from a great organic grocery (with salad bar and prepared foods), a gelato/ice cream shop, snorkeling/urban bike rental shop, nail salon -- everything you need! Check-in via lockbox was easy, the place is sparkling clean and quiet, and has a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. I opted to stay there instead of at the resort hotel where my conference was -- and it was by far the right choice.
