I frequent Maui every month and like to stay always from the touristy areas. Kihei is the best of both worlds and close to everything you’ll need. Wailea is literally walking distance and Lahaina is within 20 minutes.
The Hale Kamaoele is centrally located and has the best greenery directly across the street for a wonderful sunset view, area to picnic, or simply be in peace. The accommodations were modern, clean, and had everything you’ll need. Beach towels, mats, full kitchen, AC, washer and dryer in unit.
This one of us the best places we stayed in Kihei. The floor layout was open and technically can fit 4-6 people comfortably. Had one room but had a pull down wall bed. Super cool!
Staff at front was courteous. Picked up our keys, parked, and we were on our way to fun!
