Whitney's place was exactly as advertised. The indoor and outdoor space is ample. We were two couples staying there and had lots of room. Some of the decor is a little dated but the place was clean and comfortable (the beds were very comfortable). The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, small appliances, etc. Lots of beach gear (chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, etc.) is also provided. The in-suite washer/dryer was an added bonus.
The location is excellent! Easy walk to a great beach and lots of restaurants and shops. Great swimming and even snorkeling at the beach across the street (Kamaole 1). We saw turtles snorkeling there. Kihei is also a great location to head out for island exploring.
The view from the lanai is spectacular (especially at sunset)! If you come at the right time of year, you will see whales from the lanai. It is almost worth it to stay there for the view alone.
Whitney was a great host and responded very quickly the couple of times we had questions or concerns.
We hope to come back and stay at Whitney's place again soon. Will definitely stay longer next time though as our 10 days went by too quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend Whitney's place to anybody looking for a great place to stay in Kihei.
