Location in Kihei was pretty good, as it’s a few minutes walk to the nearest beach. Local eats and restaurants are half a mile or more away which is still walking friendly. I loved to be able to get a glimpse of the ocean off the balcony. We are a family of 4 and would say it’s kid friendly as long as your child knows stair safety. The kitchenette was not stocked for those who are looking to cook gourmet meals but gets the job done when it comes to cooking simple meals and heating up food. Overall a great stay!
