We are about 25 minutes (depends on traffic) from OGG - Maui Airport. From S. Kihei Rd, turn into Maui Vista Resort complex. Our unit is in the 3rd building away from the street and noise. Direct access elevator up to 3rd story with no stairs into unit. Very private!

Staying in Kihei means you do not necessarily need a car or not for the whole trip! Besides easy walking, there is also the public Maui bus service. But if you want to do the road to Hana (must-do activity on Maui), or go up Haleakala mountain (if heights and sunrises is your thing), or visit Wailea (for golfing, or a great luau feast), or Makena (for horse riding), then you'll need a car or to pay someone to drive you. If you get a car, you'll have a FREE parking spot at Maui Vista. 

In Kihei itself you have everything within walking distance from Maui Vista.  This area is a particular paradise if you enjoy the soft-sand beaches and crystal-clear blue-green water: sunbathing, beach walking, frolicking, snorkeling, turtle-spotting, SCUBA diving, fishing, whale/dolphin watching, boogie/body boarding, surfing, kayaking etc. All boating activities depart from Kihei Boat Ramp which is within walking distance from Maui Vista.

If you prefer sports outside the water, you can play volleyball, basketball and baseball among other activities at Kalama Beach Park (walk north),  and you can enjoy the use of the Pickelball courts and tennis at Maui Vista.

For groceries and general stuff there is Safeway, Whalers General Store, ABC store, and a local 24-hour Foodland - all within walking distance. You can also drive to Costco (tip is to do this once you land at airport before driving to Maui Vista) or Whole Foods. Once you arrive at Maui Vista, there is a large rolling cart you can use at the elevator entrance of building 3.

Food, snack, and beverage choices are abundant all along South Kihei Road, so much so that we wouldn't know where to begin for recommendations from the myriad options. We suggest that on your first day you walk from Maui Vista up S Kihei Rd -both north and south and you'll see what we mean. Or take the car, but walking is good exercise and pleasant in Kihei weather!
