We had an amazing time during our stay in Kihei! The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well-stocked for the most part, and the location was great.
We saw turtles in the ocean every night during sunset, and the pool was a wonderful option for days when we didn’t go to the beach. Parking was easy in the lot, and we always felt safe.
When we evaluated rental options, we prioritized beach access and proximity to restaurants and bars. Unfortunately, this rental didn’t quite meet our expectations for those two desires. There is a beach right at the edge of the property, but it is rather small and not particularly well suited for sitting on the sand without getting wet. Additionally, with the afternoon trade winds, the water was typically too rough to be good for swimming any time outside of the morning. It was totally glassy in the morning, however, so if you can get in early it might be perfect for swimming.
The condo is in a great central location that is close to a bustling shopping center (great coffee shop, sushi, and numerous other restaurants), but there is no sidewalk on the main road to walk to nearby restaurants. We still saw plenty of people walking along the side of the road, but I would be nervous to do so at night in the dark.
