This is a centrally located place in Kihei and great location--you can walk to the beach that's a few blocks away and are walking distance or very short drive to restaurants and shopping. Joann's place is an end/corner unit and stays very cool with using the ceiling fans and windows--no AC needed! While you might hear some general noise from the complex with the windows open, it's pretty quiet and the manager is very good about making sure people keep to the quiet hours, which starts at 9pm. This is a relaxing place to come home to at the end of a long day of sightseeing and adventuring, not a party place. You get a convenient parking spot to use and access to a laundry room if you need it. Joann is a fantastic host and communicator--she always responded promptly to any inquiries or concerns before and during my trip! Her place has beach gear you can use--umbrella, chairs, boogie boards (very convenient!)--and we made good use of them. Unfortunately, someone made off w/one of the boogie boards while we were on the beach and Joann was very understanding. She was more concerned about us not feeling bad about the experience than she was about her property! It really helped us not stress out on the last full day of our trip which we appreciated so much. All in all, a great host and a great place!
