I have traveled a lot and stayed in my fair share of house/condo rentals.....and I would highly recommend Kihei Sands Beachfront condo (A8). While I understand some folks have specific criteria they are looking for, this condo had exactly what we wanted. It's centrally located (20 minutes from the southwest beaches, 30 or so minutes from northwest beaches, 20 minutes from the airport and northside beaches) so driving was minimal. We often explored both the north and south side of the island without any issues. Hana is a trek, but it's a trek from any point on the island. The immediate area surrounding the condo wasn't anything spectacular (meaning the roadside area/stores) but the condo and the view quickly make up for it. In December we had the pool just feet from our patio, the ocean maybe 20 yards away, and gorgeous sunsets nightly. We don't often opt to stay at our rental for a full day (we like to get out and explore) but we often spent 50% of our time lounging right at home on this vacation. Some have complained about the noise with the pool being so close/noisy, but for us it wasn't a problem. We like people and yes there were kids splashing and playing but they were having a good time and so it didn't bother us. They were always gone by the time the sunset so it was quiet at night...besides the crashing waves that we fell asleep to every night :) Overall, condo was clean, organized and had basic kitchen and bathroom essentials. Lots of beach items were also made available: beach chairs, beach umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. Office hours were minimal (few hours each and closed on weekends) so that might be the only complaint. That and the bedroom window and patio door did leak water during a heavier rain...getting some of my luggage wet, but nothing major and we simply put a towel down for any future water. Overall, we would highly recommend this rental and we would return to this condo if we make our way back to Maui :)
