Before traveling to Maui, I did a lot of research. Choosing whether to stay in south or west Maui was a big decision. We chose Kihei because it was located closer to a couple of excursions. Also, a couple of my friends had recommended Kihei. If we return to Maui, we will probably stay in West Maui. It is simply prettier (unless you stay in lush Wailea) with a wider variety of restaurants and things to do. Bobbie's unit totally met our needs, had more than everything we needed, and Bobbie was very responsive to any questions we had. The property itself is located near the road, and it can get noisy, especially with the windows open at night. (I'm a light sleeper and didn't give this enough thought.) Because traveling to Hawaii is such a major deal, I wanted to point out these considerations.
