I stayed in this apartment with a friend for six weeks during the pandemic. Joann was highly communicative and helpful, providing lots of local tips and answering any questions we had super promptly. She was also extraordinarily helpful when I wanted to extend my stay, helping me to find a smaller place (since my friends was leaving) that was also nearby. The best thing about this apartment is the location. It's less than five minutes walking to Charley Young Beach and less than ten minutes walking to Kihei Cove for surfing. Kihei itself is a wonderful little town and all the delicious restaurants and food trucks are right around the corner from the apartment. We brought our bikes which were definitely sufficient for getting around Kihei, getting groceries, etc., but there's a parking space for a car if you prefer that mode of transportation. The kitchen is stocked with the basics, but I wouldn't say it's ideal if you're planning on cooking all the time (for our long stay, we ended up buying a few things that would help us out in the kitchen but it's different for everybody). Fortunately, with all the great restaurants in the area, it's not a huge problem. Other than that, in-unit laundry was super helpful as well as the beach gear included with the apartment. Thank you so much for everything, Joann! We really enjoyed our time.
