The Studio Condo in Kihei is just great and provides everything you need for an awesome stay on Maui! The studio is located in a lovely and tranquil apartment complex with pool, jacuzzi, barbecue area, tennis court, a huge parking lot and right across from the beach. Although this beach is not the greatest on the south shore of Maui it is still nice to watch the beautiful sunset and to observe humpback whales. The studio itself was very, very clean and has a lanai with pool view. Also it is lovely and cozy furnished, the bed was super comfortable, and we loved the attention to detail, e.g. ice cold water in the fridge. A fully fitted kitchen, snorkel gear, boogie boards as well as beach chairs and towels are provided by the owner.
South Kihei is a great spot and centrally located on Maui. However, you will need a car to get around. Within a few miles you find everything you need…a shopping mall (super market, USPS), great restaurants (e.g. Chez Meme), bars (e.g. South Shore Tiki Bar), and wonderful beaches (e.g. Big Beach or Weilea Beach). Maui’s north shore, where you can see the big wave surfers, and the airport are just 20-30 minutes away by car.
Overall we had a wonderful stay and we highly recommend this apartment to explore the south shore of Maui!! Mahalo!
