We stayed at 3 locations during our stay in Maui, Kihei, Hana (both airbnb) and Lahaina (at a resort). Thomas's place was lovely and refreshing right across the ocean. We were centrally located and driving to nearby beaches and awesome restaurants was easy. We always had the benefit of picking up things we needed or forgot from the house every time we passed by the house. Although we didn't require much of cooking, he had thoughtfully kept utensils for reheating, containers for carrying food and condiments which were a big plus especially because we were traveling with a toddler whose time schedule was messed up. The place was safe, airy, clean and well maintained. Instructions were clear and Thomas even texted the whole instructions on whats app as we forgot to download the airbnb app without complaining. There were ample amount of towels. We were also happy that there was a washer dryer (with detergent pods) which helped us greatly as we could toss the soiled clothes from the beach instead of carrying the wet clothes to Hana (our next destination). By the end of your stay we when we compared our stay in Kihei and Lahaina and found that it was a better option to stay in Kihei with Thomas over Lahaina as we had to drive more to get to local cuisine whereas here it was walking distance, and never really felt Maui warmth in touristy Lahaina.
