Would highly recommend to future travelers. Kihei as a location is conveniently and centrally located to everywhere you may want to visit on Maui, ie East to Haleakala or Hana, North to Paia or airport, South to Waleia, or East to Lahaina.
The Airbnb itself is fun, clean, has pretty much everything you may need - beach chairs, cooler bags, boogie board, access to coin laundry. The pool / hot tub are quite nice as well. Check in was easy and communication was prompt. The best part is the beach, a stone’s throw from the apartment.
The only thing I had hoped for was a coffee machine. Beans, hot water kettle, and a french press were provided, but with our early morning itinerary and my laziness, I did not feel like waiting for coffee to steep each morning.
