It is literally steps from the beach!! This is no joke, from the back lanai it took 1 minute over the dune to the beach itself and the unexpected part was that the beach was also really private. we would see maximally four groups of people there at a time. Sometimes we would be the only ones out there. This was partly due to the 70's weather but still!
Also the restaurants in Kihei are right there, as Alice says.
The only thing I would mention is that the unit is older so it's not "hotel" newness and one shouldn't expect it. I didn't expect it. We ended up sleeping on the pullout foam mattress to compensate for the older soft bed, but we didn't mind this.
Alice was very responsive with the two issues that came up in our trip and that was really nice.
