Lahaina Shores is the perfect place to stay on Maui - completely walkable to everything on Front Street, and honestly I had a better beach experience right outside of the residence than I did up on the public beach where it was so windy and crowded. The Murphy bed mattress wasn’t as comfortable as others probably were - but fine for a few days. The only thing I would have really appreciated would have been beach supplies, as were provided in other rentals I looked at - beach chairs, floaties, coolers, etc. At the end of the day, though, the beachfront Front Street location was the deciding factor.
