I had never been to Maui before, but I had heard staying in Kihei might be a good idea because it’s kind of centrally located to some of the popular sites we wanted to visit and is near the airport, etc. Well, now that I have been there and stayed in Kihei, I would definitely advise not staying in Kihei because it’s a very busy area and especially not staying in Kelli and Michael’s place, UNLESS you enjoy hearing 24/7 sounds of a busy roadway. It’s definitely the place for you if you enjoy sounds of car horns, loud mufflers, loud squealing tires, loud screeching brakes, loud revving engines...all the time. Like I told Kelli....think Indy 500. It’s not the place for you, however, if like me, you want to walk into your rented place and hear birds singing (even roosters) and the sound of waves. I just didn’t expect all of that noise. I was blindsided. It never occurred to me it could be such a problem. I cried the first night we arrived out of disappointment and then decided to ask Kelli for a 20% refund, but she refused. She said she would release us from the duration but we would still have the extremely excessive cleaning fee (btw) of $175 along with all of the other fees and it just didn’t make good financial sense to have to go and pay for all of that at a new place. I guess I was thinking that at least getting something back in return might’ve helped me feel like I didn’t get as taken as I felt I had.
