If you choose to stay at Kathy and Ed’s condo in Kihei you will be very happy. It is a ground floor space so you don’t have to worry about climbing stairs with your bags or groceries or beach gear...
The condo was very clean and exactly as presented on the site. It includes everything you will need in the kitchen and for a beach excursion - towels, beach chairs, cooler etc.
Kathy has a binder with ideas of restaurants and places to visit etc. available. It is located in Kihei and is a very short walk to the beach.
Make sure you meet RW - the concierge the first morning you arrive - near the bbq at Building 1. He has a talk prepared, coupons to use and lots of great advice of what to do and not do while on the island. He even gives you his cell # for questions etc. Take advantage as he knows the island well!
Our flight was not until midnight and we had to be out of the condo by 11:00 a.m. I contacted Kathy asking if we might be able to borrow the 2 beach chairs for the day. She readily agreed as her next guests were not arriving until late in the day. The beach chairs made it much easier for us for the remainder of the trip.
Maui is a gorgeous place to visit. Kathy and Ed’s place was a wonderful home base for my Mom and I to use for our time there. You won’t be disappointed.
