We loved staying in South Kihei. Definitely better than staying at a hotel. Walking distance to ABC store, several restaurants/ food places, Kamaole Beach I right across the street. Loved having beach chairs, umbrella, lots of towels, and yoga mats.
Place is comfortable for 2, maybe 3 adults. Appreciated having the option of an air mattress. (Pull out sofa bed mattress is a bit thin.)
Overall would recommend and would stay again :)
