The appartement is as shown on the pictures, probably better. It’s very well appointed, with a full kitchen that has any appliance you need, TV (which we didn’t use), and a “starter package” with some coffee, soap, shampoo, etc. There are also beach necessities, towels, chairs, etc. The apartment is very clean and the bed is good, a bit soft. The location in Kihei can’t be beat. Kihei has a very central location, with easy access to many of the beaches and sights across the island. There is ample dining nearby, the Indian restaurant on the first floor has good food and great views, but service can be slow. Within 5-10 minutes driving there are many options, and there is a Safeway nearby for some grocery shopping. The views from the apartment and balcony are simply fantastic. The beach that you are directly above is a nice small beach, clean with showers and bathrooms. Within the dyke surrounding the beach the water is shallow, maybe 1-2 foot deep, ideal for children. And, for turtles that you can see laying on the dyke each day; in the evening around sunset they become more active. The apartment is professionally managed and communication with the host is professional and sufficient.
