Stay here for the lanai and the views! The sounds of the waves are soothing and there’s good shade out there. We saw whales from the comfort of our lanai - so cool! The place is super clean and updated, but no a/c and the trade winds were a little light while we were there so it was a bit warm. However, there are lots of fans available to put up around the place. The technology is on point with good WiFi speed, smart TVs and all sorts of USB plug ins. Plus there’s a really nice and clean elevator - so great for the third floor with luggage and dive gear. Kitchen has great appliances and all, but really, we don’t cook much on vacation so we are not good judges of that. There was a blender for my breakfast smoothies and that was good for me.
Great communication from the owners with tons of local info. Also the living area furniture was up to date and so much more comfortable than many of the places with old school Hawaiian furniture. Really quiet area too.
We can’t speak to direct beach access as there was construction to address erosion of the sea wall and a sink hole, but they are doing a quality job with the work and we were told by the owners beforehand about the construction and even given a chance to cancel our reservation if wanted. We stuck to it and there was limited noise and such great views from the lanai that it was a nice mellow last part of our Maui trip.
