This place has a great location, 2 blocks from the beach and 10 minute car ride to Wailea, where you can find nice resorts, restaurants and shops, all the beaches are public, so you can go to the nice hotels, often parking is free and go their beach and be able to rent chairs and umbrellas. Kihei has lots of shops and restaurants close by, as well as a few great food trucks. It's a very laid back town with lots of condos, no resorts.
Communication with Annie was very easy and fast, she is very responsive and accommodating to questions and requests.
I definitely recommend renting a car to be able to explore.
Her place is nicely decorated, has great Wifi, TV and the basics of what you need for the beach vacation. She provided beach towels as well. The balcony was nice to sit in early in the morning or late at night to have a glass of wine, coffee or just chat.
Cons:
-I would call this place updated not fully remodeled, while I booked last minute, I saw other places that for the same price were higher end
-the building itself is dated
-bad sound insulation so you can hear neighbors and people outside (AC drowns it out for the most part)
-no central AC, it's a building rule so with fans running the place stayed cool and bedroom was fine from living room unit, but it was noisy
-kitchen could use new dishwasher, garbage disposal, utensils, pots and pans, silverware and garbage cans with lids and draw string bags
-the bed was not very comfortable for me, but there was memory foam topper in closet that helped a lot
