I love the flowers over there - Plumeria and hibiscus are two of my favorites. Wow! you have quite the assortment of wonderful fruits - lucky you!!
We used to always stay at our friends’ condo in Kaanapali - right on the beach - - it was great!
Some of our friends stayed in a condo at Kihei (they liked to golf at Wailea). Was only there once or twice, but at least where their place was, it was rather rocky getting to the beach - didn’t get a chance to explore Kihei more.
It was fun to walk around and have a bite to eat at Lanai, too (which, IIRC is about 1/2 way between Kihei and Kaanapali).
We’d hit the Costco that wasn’t far from the airport and buy food, etc. before we checked in.
IIRC housing has been fairly expensive in Hawaii for some time, I suspect it’s much worse now. I watch the housing shows on HGTV every now and then - beautiful places but high $$s, even for the smaller ones that aren’t that close to the beach. Lucky you moving close to the beach - I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it. It’s so relaxing even looking out at the water and hearing the ocean - love it!!
Best,

Yes, the flowers are wondrous. We had company right after Christmas and did the things you do when you have company.
We drove the road to Hana and we went to the Botanical gardens up in Kula (higher elevation). I should have written down the names of the flowers but, of course, I didn’t.
African Tulip is the only one I remember and African Tulip trees abound on Maui.
Kihei is my favorite. We’ve made an offer on a house there. It’s not on the beach but you can walk to the beach. And there’s a good whale watching platform there.
You need to come over.
