This Maui Roost apartment has, first of all, a truly lovely view. It spans the whole back wall and you can look out and see the ocean, and especially the beautiful sunsets. Directly across the street and about half a block is a fantastic stretch of beach (Charley Young) that then leads to the Kam 1, Kam 2 and Kam 3 beaches and you can walk through to all of them. It's a great homebase, close to supermarket (foodland) and healthfood store (Hawaiian Moons) and any number of other cafes etc. It's very easy to get to the Wailea (great 2 mile public walk way along the shore) and Makena side of Kihei. On the other hand it's also easy to get to other locations on the island. The apartment has a well appointed kitchen, beach towels and beach chairs (so nice to have). We enjoyed gathering fresh fruit and making smoothies in the morning with the blender. The building itself, when you first arrive, can feel a little "maze" like, but once you know where you are, it's very straightforward, and when you are in the apartment it's lovely and easy place to be. Give yourself a few minutes to figure out the light switches and fan switches. We slept in the king size bed in the loft. It took a little trial and error but we figured out the right blend of fans etc to be cool enough at night. It's also so nice that you can keep the terrace slider open. (there is an air conditioner but we didn't wind up needing it). I would say it's a little smaller than it appears in the photos but once we adjusted our notion of that it was completely fine. Julie, the liaison for the unit is very responsive and great with communication.
