If you want to be in the South Shore on Maui, Kihei is the place to be. Easy access to any of the beaches, and right across the street from the main park. Restaurants and bars are just a block or two away and a nice place to wander through. But, none of the noise from any of the later night spots reaches the condo. Since you'll be on a different time zone / sleep schedule when you first arrive, the balcony is the perfect place to sit and have coffee while enjoying the view of the water and the beautiful sunrises. Would definitely stay here again.
