This place is a bang for the buck! We booked this place at the last minute (three days before arrival) but it was affordable and had everything we needed. It's in Kihei so there are lots of restaurants and public beaches both driving and walking distances away. There are beach chairs and umbrellas so you can take them with you as you head out to the beaches.
The kitchen is well-stocked with all the essentials in case you decide to cook. The bed was comfortable and clean. Having two bathrooms even though there's only one bedroom was a plus, especially if you're used to two sinks in a single bathroom. It's more comfortable to not have to share a single bathroom sink.
Full disclosure, we hate bugs. And we know we were going to a tropical island so, of course, there will be bugs. One bug issue in Hawai'i that we saw in travel videos are cockroaches. However, we did not see a single one in all 7 days. The listing info also stated that the facility maintenance treats all units with pesticides and the hosts also use non/less-toxic pesticides to treat the unit. Sure, there's no 100% guarantee to prevent bugs from entering a building but from our experience as people who abhor bugs, we were very satisfied.
Our communication was with Kelli, who was super awesome. In addition to answering our questions about the listing, she went above and beyond to find some information for us even though it was quite irrelevant to the listing. She's very responsive, timely, and kind.
