Thomas' room was a great home for our Maui vacation. While there are plenty of tourists, Kihei has a lot more local feel than places like Lahaina we visited. The condo really is just a short walk to the beach. In fact, you have to park on the street and returning during the day, there are lots of cars parked nearby for folks going to the beach, but they never seemed to be where we wanted to park. Parking was never an issue.
There's a full kitchen available with stove, oven, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, and dishwasher. And, of course, dishes and silverware. The double shower was great!
There's a keypad to open the door. This was handy in that you never had to worry about a key.
There are tons of restaurants in walking distance both north and south of the room. There's a nice park on the beach just to the north and a path there to walk along the ocean. Thomas sent us a rather lengthy list of things to see and do and restaurant suggestions. We printed it out and took it with us when we were out exploring.
