Thomas's place is in a fantastic location. I was travelling alone, without a car, and this was a great place to stay for a relaxing Kihei beach vacation. I'd say it took about two minutes to walk to the beach. There is plenty of free parking around for anyone who does rent a car. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. It was awesome having access to beach chairs and a cooler. As well as three great swimming beaches, within walking distance you can find a taco truck, outdoor rollerskating rink, delicious frozen coffee, fresh seafood, a supermarket, and markets with locally made products. The sound of the air conditioning was the only one small negative aspect to my stay. I'm a light sleeper, but if you're not it probably won't cause you any bother. I would recommend Thomas's place to anyone wanting to explore and enjoy Kihei. The beach is basically right at your doorstep!
