We stayed at the condo for 2 weeks in June 2021 and I can't say enough about this rental! I have to start with the view! The view from the very large lanai (that is accessible from the living room and the bedroom) was BREATHTAKING! It was absolutely stunning. The sun rises in the front of the building allowing the lanai to be used all day. Each morning I would sit there and just listen to all of the beautiful birds on the property. It felt like I was in the rainforest! Then to sit there in the evenings to watch the sunset was so peaceful. In fact, I refused to eat dinner in any restaurant because I wanted to sit and eat on the lanai just so I could soak up the view! The tradewinds from the ocean allowed us to not use the AC at all for the entire 2 weeks we were there. It stayed cool all day and all evening! There are TONS of restaurants just minutes away. There are also 3 grocery stores 4-7 minutes away as well. It's about 17-20 away from Kahului airport, about 45 minutes (a beautiful coastal drive) to the Ka'anapali side and to get to the parking lot to watch the sunrise at Haleakala, was just under an hour and a half (you must do this). Kihei is so centrally located which is one of the main reasons why I chose to stay here. There are 4 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a rolling cooler, a small hand held cooler, beach towels and a beach umbrella to use. If there is anything else that you need for the beach, go to Boss Frog's to rent, they are just a few minutes away. There are 2 washer/dryers on the floor (quarters and/or payable app) to use. There were countless turtles that we saw on the beach property too! I especially loved staying here because it doesn't have that annoying resort feel. This place and all the people on the property were so kind and it truly felt like a home away from home. I sat on the balcony each evening watching families grill and interact with another at the pool/courtyard area and I found myself just wishing that I could live there. Also, two key details that I wanted to mention were that during our 2 week stay, we didn't see one bug, not even one, which is rare for island living! Also, I felt completely safe walking around the grounds at any/all hours. I have always felt that a report on bugs and safety are key factors when deciding on a place to stay. If we decide to visit Maui again, I will build my trip on available dates for this unit because I will not be staying anywhere else because it was that perfect!
