This condo ROCKS! It is exactly as Michael advertises! It IS right across from the beaches and has the best view off the lanai! Morning and evenings on the lanai are amazing- we felt so blessed to have found this condo! You can walk to all the shops and restaurants but definitely stop in at Costco for a big shop when you land. The kitchen has everything you need to cook meals if you choose to. Costo is right near the airport or is roughly a 30-minute drive from the condo.
Realize if you have more than 4 people, 2 people will not have air conditioning at night. Our stay was in July and our boys thought the breeze and the fan were okay but they would have preferred to sleep in the 68-degree bedrooms at night.
If you are a huge fan of snorkeling, bring your own equipment. Most of the equipment wasn't usable but there were quite a few fins in various sizes. There are several places near the condo to rent equipment so no worries if you don't have any.
Enjoy your stay in Michael's condo- you won't regret it, Kihei is awesome!!!
