Please read this whole review! When I first got to the condo I was surprised we were not right across the street but actually several buildings back although with a view over a parking lot. There were several strip malls across the side street which was disconcerting. The condo is a bit tired, not very homey, no real personality BUT we came to love it bc it was a short walk to the beach and I mean 3 minutes at best. The location was ideal For exploring the island, we could be in the Hana highway in less than a half hour, ka’apalua and Lahaina in 45, all easy drives, there was a wonderful coffee place one block away where everyone goes, and is a friendly way to start the day, paddle boarding, all water sports a block away with across the street access and yoga on the beach also right across the street. We visited Paia several times bc our home location made it so easy. So, in short we decided this place was ideal because the price was right - allowing us to enjoy all the activities we wanted to without feeling like we were blowing through cash and there were great places to eat nearby, as well as a truly beautiful beach. If you are looking for a luxurious vacation go to one of the resorts, if you want to explore this beautiful island and truly practice Aloha, stay at Pat’s, it is ideal!!
