Nice apartment right on Road to Hana, so very convenient for early morning starts. I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews about the nearby store but missed it. Not super advisable at night to walk to/from Paia.
Apartment was nice and clean, but no A/C. Description did not include A/C so was not duped, but I would not stay here in the summer months. We stayed at the end of May and it was almost too hot. Even with fans on and breeze we had to take cold showers before bed to be comfortable. Bed was very large, which was nice! Bring ear plugs and sleep mask as it is loud being on the highway and if the cars don’t wake you, the roosters will. Welcome to Maui!
Apartment had beach chairs available on the patio to use which was nice. Beach access is a little tricky to find but there are decent directions in the binder (which was not laid out but we found in TV cabinet). Is a shared beach with Mama’s Fish House and turtles come in in the evening to sleep on the rocks, which was cool to see.
Make sure to also stop at nearby Ho’okipa Beach to check out the turtles!
I would stay here again in the cooler months.
