Location is everything. It’s so accessible to shops, restaurants (lots of food trucks too!), beaches (Cove Park- where they do surf lesson is across the street; you can also watch the sunset there, there’s also few turtles making an appearance in the water), and it’s the near the airport.
More than enough bath towels and beach towels were provided. The pool and hot tub within the complex and the availability of beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler is a plus!
Only thing I wish this place has in the “Things To do Book” are the places to go to. It’d be helpful for first timers to have these information. Nevertheless I researched all the beaches I wanted to go to using Google and Yelp, which are all within 5-15 minutes away, except the ones in Lahaina (40mins drive away from Kihei).
• Maluaka Beach
• Makena Beach (go in the morning, rough tides in the afternoon)
• Polo Beach
• Kalama Beach
• Kamaole Beach
• Keawakapu Beach
• Ulua Beach
And lastly, the host is a good communicator! Gave me good instructions - the check in and out is seamless. I strongly recommend staying at this place!
