This place is clean. It's more spacious than the photos lead you to believe. It's on a quiet street, and literally a 55 second walk to a calm, far less crowded beach, compared to staying on the south side of Kihei. In addition there is a good selection of restaurants and grocery options within a 3 to 8 minute walk out the door.
Kihei is a string of strip malls and beaches running North to South; the further South you get the more foot and car traffic and the more rowdy it becomes. This place is more to the North, it has quieter beaches, shorter wait times for restaurants, and as a launching point is closer to most of the offerings on the island of Maui.
I've been flying to Maui every two weeks for the last 2 years and have sampled more hotels and airbnb's than I care to remember. I would be happy to book Kristie's place again.
