This charming condominium building on Ili`ili Road in Kihei is perfectly situated on the ocean side of South Kihei Road nestled on a quiet street in an ideal location between two scenic sandy beaches in either direction: Charley Young Beach on the south side, and Cove Beach on the north side. The walk in either direction to each public beach access is half of a block and there is no need to cross busy South Kihei Road when walking to them. Connecting these two beaches on the ocean side is a lovely green lawn elevated over the water providing a perfect setting for watching nightly sunsets. Cove Park is the premiere spot in Kihei for surfing and stand-up paddling, and the entry area for this calm ocean inlet is also located a half block away at the north end of the street. The neighborhood street Iliili Road is only about two blocks long and contains only homes and vacation rentals, no large resorts, so it is relatively quiet yet well located for enjoying easy access to a large variety of fantastic activities, restaurants and shops all nearby within walking distance. Another block away is the large oceanside Kalama Park, which is the site of annual festivals including both Whale Day in February and Earth day in April. Kalama Park has jogging and bicycling trails, volleyball courts, tennis courts, covered gazebos, jungle gym playground, basketball courts, baseball fields, and even a skating rink and skateboarding park. Grocery stores within walking distance include Foodland four blocks away, plus there is an open air fresh fruit and vegetable market about six blocks away, and the convenience store ABC three blocks away. Additional beaches and resorts in Wailea or Makena, and shopping at high-end The Shops of Wailea, are just minutes driving distance away. This condominium building is located on the short residential Ili`ili Road away from the bustle of busy South Kihei Road, yet is located within very easy walking distance to scenic beaches, the best surfing and stand-up paddling spot in Kihei, plus excellent restaurants, bars, shopping, food stores, surfboard and paddleboard rental shops, bicycle rentals, scooter rentals, and more. Taxis and Airport Shuttles can easily find this road and the bus stop for public transportation on the Maui Bus is only a block away on South Kihei Road. Public transportation also is convenient for riding to Wailea, Makena, or further away to Maalaea, Kahului, or Lahaina.
