This home is in a superb location. Direct beach access from the backyard and easy walking to lots of shops and restaurants in Kihei. This is a great base camp for exploring the whole island or just relaxing in place. Beautiful sunsets with a view of the ocean, and we even saw whales. This place is a great value for the money and we would definitely stay here again.

Guest reviews
All in all, we were blessed by the home and location. The slider doors were a little tricky, but they had instructions posted on the door. The a/c units are nice to have in the home, but they are loud running all night. None of that would prevent us from renting here again in the future.
Pros: the location is incredible, the private beach is heaven, and the lovely grass lawn was the sight of gorgeous sunsets and amazing stargazing. The host was also very responsive and kind. Beach chairs and boogie boards were kindly provided, among many other useful items. Cons: the property is a bit more run down than we expected for the price we paid. Sliding doors were very difficult to open even after we asked for them to be oiled, couches were stained, window shades dirty (perhaps with mold?), tv not working (something up with the power strip). The place needs some upgrades for sure. Overall we had a wonderful time.
