This place is really well located if you want to beach hop in West Maui--basically half-way between Lahaina and Kapalua/northwest beaches. There's a small beach within easy walking distance and the rest of the best are a few minutes drive. You can also walk to Miso Phat sushi, which is possibly the best restaurant on the island, Dollie's bar (good pizza), and Maui Brewing Company. It's also worth spending some significant time relaxing on the huge lanai that basically hangs right over the ocean. We were so distracted by breaching whales and turtles that we couldn't get any reading done. The sound of the ocean at night lulled us to sleep. Unless you want to walk directly out your front door onto a sandy beach, this is pretty much the perfect spot in West Maui.
