Carolyn's place was perfect for my husband and me! We felt like it had everything we needed and the location was easily accessible to many restaurants, Foodland, and the beach. We enjoyed being able to walk across the street to watch the sunset each evening. Kihei was a great place for us to stay since we wanted to explore the entire island. The area was safe and quiet, and it was nice having a reserved parking space.
Tip: We highly recommend Keawakapu Beach. It's just a short drive away, has a private parking area, and felt very secluded since it's residential. A nice break from some of the busier beaches we visited!
