It was a very comfortable place to stay. The beach is right across the street, perfect for an early morning dip in the ocean or watching sunset on the beach. Kihei seemed more residential and less touristy compared to other places we've seen on Maui. Still lots of good places to eat nearby, but doesn't look as manicured as Wailea-Makena further south the island. I really loved that the apartment had beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards - everything you need for the beach.
