We had a great time staying at Kihei Bay! This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we were traveling with a 4-month old infant, so we specifically looked for a place with some of the features of this condo. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, a dishwasher, and a full fridge so we were able to pack lunch everyday. There were also a few small tupperwares, but I would recommend picking up some ziplock bags if you are going to pack lunches. There is a washer and dryer in the unit, so we were able to do laundry everyday and definitely could have packed lighter as a result. The complex is small so every unit is near the pool, which was pretty basic but nice and clean with a small hot tub. The closet was big and had boogie boards, a cooler, a beach umbrella, folding chairs, beach toys for kids, and a bunch of hangers for clothes. We did have to bring our own pack-and-play (you can rent them locally, but it was more cost effective to bring our own). I thought we would be within walking distance to restaurants and bars, but this was not really on a main "strip". We did still manage to walk to Maui Brewing, which was a couple of miles away in direct sunlight. There were only sidewalks for a portion of the walk. The beach across the street was a great place for morning walks and seeing sea turtles. Kihei itself does have a small central area about 2 miles away. Overall, this was a good location for our first time in Maui, as it was between Wailea and Lahaina/Kaanapali (although much closer to Wailea) and we wanted to explore all of those places. We rented a car, so we were able to easily get around the island. Kihei would be a tough place to stay without a car if you plan to do much exploration outside your resort.
