My wife and I are professionals and we were looking to get away for a nice relaxing holiday. I had never been to Hawaii before. After I found Christie's place on Airbnb, we decided to give it a whirl and booked a 7 night stay. I'll confirm that the unit is located conveniently adjacent to the parking stall, while still being very private and quiet. It must be about 15 steps from the car to the sliding door--very convenient, especially when you're loading the fridge with your haul from Costco, and I do recommend going to Costco! The pool was very nice as well. I think I counted 45 steps for pool access from the sliding door. To get to the beach, it's about a 3 minute walk across a large irrigated lawn, which would be great for frisbee or throwing a ball around, or a game of volleyball at the space provided. The beach was nice and quiet; the water shallow, warm, and filled with sea turtles. No joke! The condo itself was well stocked and clean and tidy. We didn't really find ourselves lacking anything, so if you're looking for a home base for a stay in Kihei, this is it. There's even a folding wagon for hauling towels, chairs, and whatnot to the beach and back.
