Anke's place was even better than described. The condo was a 3 minute walk to a quiet beach. We watched turtles play in the ocean every morning. The beach is a little rocky upon entry, but that didn't stop us from playing in the ocean everyday. The apartment came with several amenities including beach toys, minimal snorkeling equipment, a small cooler, as well as several (7 or 8?) beach towels. We made use of the in-condo washer and dryer, which worked great. Quiet hours for the community are 10 pm until 8 am, so we never had problems with late night noise. We also cooked several meals in the unit, making use of the well-stocked kitchen (including pots, pans, as well as basic condiments and spices).
The community pool and hot tub were great, and a nice way to meet other people staying in the units. Both stayed busy, but were never packed. I spent a lot of time reading in the lounge chairs around the pool. We were amazed at how well stocked the BBQ grills were. Each of the 5 gas grills had a full set of grilling utensils that were clean and available any time the pool was open (8am-10pm). There is also a full kitchen in the pool area--including full-size refrigerator, sink, counter space, and oven, so cooking out was very easy and convenient. There are numerous tables and chairs for eating. The Grill area would occasionally get busy, but we never had trouble finding room to cook.
The location of the condo was great. We were about a 40 minute drive from Lahaina, and about 30 minutes to the south end of the island. There were several places to shop and eat within a 5 minute drive or a 20 minute walk. Walking to food/bars was doable, but as there is no sidewalk, but we personally did not feel comfortable walking after dark. The drivers on S. Kihei can be a little nuts and the shoulder was small in some areas. We walked to a bar one afternoon and easily found an Uber home.
Anke was quick to respond to any questions and made sure we had everything we needed. It was an amazing place, I would definitely stay there again.
