You just can't beat the location of this great property: right on the beach, complete with reef snorkeling! Our family of five found this to be a very comfortable setting: large living room, two bedrooms, and Heather was kind enough to buy a new TV at the beginning of our stay (the sound had given out on the old TV). At the reduced rate during construction, we thought this was well worth it. My advice would be to stay on Mainland time: get up early, and go out on your adventures before the construction starts (anytime between 6:30 and 8:30 am). Construction ends at a very reasonable hour (between 3:30 and 4:30), so you can have lovely evenings listening to the waves. We were really happy to find the kitchen well-stocked with utensils and appliances (e.g., a slow cooker!). The unit is within walking distance of cute shops and restaurants (our favorites were Java Jazz and Snappy Cakes), and a complete grocery store (The Times). A great location from which to explore beautiful Maui.
