overall: great experience in Maui. Kihei is very centrally located on the island which makes it easy to go places. spent most of the time outside the apartment since the beach is across the street.
Pros: location, Kihei is the trendy part of town. food stores, activities within 1-2 miles. there's a BBQ in the back of the property. kitchen is FULLY LOADED (espresso machine, air fryer, slow cooker, etc.) Patio is nice, gets good sunlight for breakfast. the beach chairs and umbrella were SUPER CLUTCH! although the umbrella couldn't handle the powerful winds, it was still nice on calmer days.
Cons: windows stuck open, increased road noise. shower drips, and toilet bowl refilling is loud, slow and annoying.
