awesome place for our family with kids 3 & 6. Our first stay in Kihei, this location in South Kihei was perfect - right on the beach without crossing a street. great view of beach from the unit. Keawakapu beach is big, clean, and comparatively less crowded. Mana Kai is very family friendly. also- away from the Kihei strip malls, but close enough for a quick drive to get dinner or stock up on supplies. On that note, in the building there is a nice general store for food/supplies/beverages. very close to Wailea resorts/shops/luaus if that is in your plans.
The unit's furnishings are a little dated but mostly very clean, as such felt relaxed with kids in tow. Lots of beach toys in the closet. AC in one of the bedrooms. dedicated parking spot in the lot.
property managers were super friendly and helpful, very quick to respond.. pak-n-play was in room on arrival as bed for 3yo
this place doesn't have the boardwalk and adjacent resorts to walk to like a ka'anapali condo we've stayed at, but is way better priced with a great beach, lots of conveniences, and a relaxed feel.. a gem
