We loved the location of this condo. We have never stayed in Kihei before, but we loved it & look forward to returning to this fun, laid-back beach town. We typically stay in Lahaina. We are heartbroken for all those who have lost their loved ones & properties in the devastating fires on 8/8/23! We weren't sure if we should be coming to visit this year, but decided we wanted to support this beautiful island & it's locals, to whom we have been visiting for the past 27+ years. The property is in a great location right off of South Kihei Road. You can walk for miles on the beaches right out in front of the condo. We went for walks on the beach every day if not twice a day. We saw sea turtles resting on the beach & the rocks on most days during our walks (make sure to stay at least 10 ft away from them so you don't disturb them). We saw whales breaching from the lanai. We just wished there were binoculars in the condo to see them a little better. The condo is well appointed with an updated kitchen, new(er) appliances. It's so nice to have two bathrooms so each couple has their own to use. Vacasa was wonderful with all their correspondence & quick responses to texts. They provide you with a very nice gift bag full of island-inspired goodies. There are just a few aesthetic updates that can be done, but nothing that hampers the stay. It's a great option for families or couples.
