We loved our little condo in Kihei! The place is nicely situated towards the back of the complex, right off of the pool. The pool is nice and clean, and was never over crowded at all – we took a dip first thing, and found it to be refreshingly cool. There is beach access just across S. Kihei road from the complex, where you can enjoy beautiful vistas, and wade in the water.
We came home pretty early most evenings, and the apartment was a wonderful haven after our busy days of exploration and fun in the sun. The condo has a TV and a comfy couch, a nice little dinner table and a full kitchen. There is a washer and dryer in the unit which are both very new and super useful for keeping us in clean clothes and towels. The living room has A/C and there are fans in the other parts of the place, so we were perfectly cool the whole time, and of course we had our own lovely lanai, looking out over the pool.
Kihei is a more residential and laid-back part of Maui than places like Wailea or Lahaina, which is really nice if you want to have a low key vacation and enjoy some local flavor without so many tourists. Kihei is the perfect location to provide easy access to some of the best swimming beaches on the island, as well as the up country, where you can visit some of the agricultural and farm businesses that have become famous on Maui, such as Ocean Vodka distillery, and Surfing Goat Dairy.
We would definitely come back and stay here again, we had a wonderful time, and it was very affordable and comfortable for us!
