We had a terrific time as a group of 7 in this home. There was space for everybody, including a great kitchen. We didn't have kids with us, but it would be especially great for them with the third floor room. We were able to walk into Laihaina, although we usually took our rental car. We used the available grill 2 nights and it was extremely helpful to be able to use the condo's beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrella, and cooler. At first I wasn't sure why we would want a pool when the beautiful ocean is right there, but it was delightful to end each day at the pool, cooling off and relaxing.
