It was the first time we stayed in Kihei and it was very residential and convenient to rest. & stores, however it definitely lacked the "charm" of Old Lahaina & nearby areas. First, let me say that the view is a 10 from the backyard. You could see beautiful sunsets and "oceanic animals" along the shores, such as Monk Seals and Turtles.However, I do feel the home was misrepresented online. It is very dated and it does not show in the online photos.. Also, basically, it's two condos that have been converted into one with lots of steps. I feel the steps should be mentioned as I am guessing large families would be visiting and if there are visitors with knee or mobility issues, it could be a problem. (Although, there is one bedroom on the first flooor that does not have as many steps. However, there are multiple steps going up to the front doors (ea side has a set of front doors) and taking luggage up those steps was very challenging.What is most disappointing is if you need all the bedrooms (which we did), you can't have access to the full house unless you go outside and access through front doors or sliders on patio. If someone is staying in the bedroom that connects the two homes, it invades their privacy. That was extremely disappointing. Shld have been mentioned in the ad. The home needs some TLC considering the cost of the rental..Ashlynn, Mgr., was very nice.I could write more but have no more space. I mention the most imp issues the next person shld know.So sorry
