It felt like we were right on the water. We could clearly hear the ocean from the top floor, but still had privacy. Great location since food trucks, breakfast places, and a grocery store are walking distance. Whalers village is also just about a 5 minute drive. We went multiple times on different days to go shopping, snorkeling on one of the boats, renting boogie boards, and eating. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it for anyone planning on staying in Maui!
