This place is in a great location in Kihei. You can walk across the street and be on a fairly empty beach most days. Katie provides nice beach equipment and there are many stores and restaurants nearby.
This place however does lack the frills I’ve enjoyed at most other Airbnb’s. Such as coffee, soaps, etc. or even recommendations of good restaurants, beach info, etc. I guess I’ve been spoiled by many other Airbnb’s setting out snacks, a bottle of wine or something unique from the area as a welcome, which wasn’t the case here. We expected a warm Aloha welcome.
We figured out beach access, restaurants, etc. on our own but it would have been nice to have a local take on things from the host.
The unit is right by the entrance and parking lot, so there is heavy foot traffic back and forth, which goes right in front of your back patio. So although it’s your patio, it’s very exposed and not private in the sense that you can’t be seen.
There is AC which is nice, we had some trouble with it shutting off one night and went without for a bit. But it started back up the next morning and was fine. Wanted to open the windows but you can see directly into the unit just by walking by if the windows are open, so we didn’t.
Didn’t use the pool or hot tub, they didn’t seem well maintained, but the beaches were great.
It was really nice having laundry in the unit and cooking supplies.
Overall, a good location, without much frills, but mostly worth the price.
