We loved staying at Ray's place during our time in Maui! The condo is located super close to some great beaches and Kihei, the people are super friendly, and Ray provides great info/support throughout your trip. Our favorite place was to go to Cove Beach and watch/surf the waves...saw the most amazing turtle on that beach out first day. For food we enjoyed walking to the right of the condo towards the main Kihei shops and bars. Our favorite food spots were Kihei Cafe for breakfast, Paia Fish Market (great taco happy hour special), Coconuts (the tacos and the plates), the local shaved ice stand and Java coffee house! Monkeypod and The Mill House were two of our favorite nicer dinner spots. We didn't spend too much time at the condo since we adventured out a lot during the day - Makena Beach was our favorite at sunset, seeing the crater, visiting Hana Road and Paia, the blowhole north of Lahaina and lastly The Mill House! So many amazing things to see and do, it was great to have the condo not far from it all!
