We've seen many wonderful places in our travels around the world, but Maui is unique, for its combination of unspoilt beauty and comforts-of-home amenities. We had initially looked for property right on the beach, but choosing this place at Kihei Akahi -- across the street from the beach -- has allowed us to keep our rent at rates a family can afford.
This part of Kihei is eminently walkable, with restaurants at every price range, a supermarket, and shopping and other features within a mile -- a flat mile, too!
And, of course, there's the beach: it's not connected to any resort; dedicated lifeguards are on the job seven days a week, and people of all shapes and sizes -- with their families! -- love it for hanging out, swimming, shore-based whale-watching, and dodging turtles!
