First off I have to say that Dan is the best property manager I have encountered (and I am a very frequent renter!). He is so kind, smart, responsible, and quick to respond. Among other things he literally saved us from missing our return flight when our safe code mysteriously stopped working (my bad I'm sure) and he immediately responded at 0730am by executing four different strategies simultaneously to ensure we could access our valuables/ passports (it was opened within about 30 mins). The owners are tremendously lucky to have him manage their property. In regards to the property, it is quite lovely. Kind of 70s/ Hawaiian vibe. Very clean, well equipped, super quiet (you will only hear the ocean), with incredible views. The air conditioning was great, and the wifi stable. We had never stayed in Kihei before and, although we did not hang out there very much, it is an excellent base if you have a rental car. We spent our days exploring beaches and hikes on all sides of the island, and our nights in Paia or Weilea usually. I have to recommend Mamas Fish House (Paia, $$$$, make a res), Five Palms (Wilea, $$$), and the boutiques and numerous affordable eateries of eclectic Paia. Personally I would skip Kanapali beach (super busy and commercial) and head for Napili (great snorkeling) on the West coast, Baldwin beach on the North Coast, or any of the amazing protected coves around Wilea.
