We had a great stay at Kauhale Makai. Everything was as described and Emily checked in to ensure we arrived and got checked in ok. The condo was fully furnished with everything we needed including extras like coolers, ice packs, beach toys and chairs and a variety of snorkel gear. While it is a bit further from restaurants and stores, we were able to walk with our young children to dinner multiple nights (a little less than a mile to restaurants). If you happen to be there on the 4th Friday of the month like we were I would recommend checking out the 4th Friday event in Kihei for food and entertainment. There was construction going on as warned by Emily however the noise was not that bad during the few times we were around while they were working. The loudest was a pressure washer they were running. Unfortunately the lanai was blocked off during our visit but Emily offered to compensate us for that inconvenience. Thee good news for future guests is it looks like other than paint and a little tile replacement, the lanai for this unit is almost complete.
