First of all, the minute you walk through the door, you can see the ocean just outside. The place was spotless and well appointed with everything you could need, including snorkel gear and coolers. This place was a perfect place for us to relax and watch the turtles just below and the many whales offshore. There is no beach out front of this building--there is a seawall. But you are not far from Napili Bay and Kapalua Bay, both the best beaches on the west side of Maui. Not being on the beach didn't make a big difference to us, as the lanai is right above the sea wall, so we felt like we were very close to the water.

Jay was easy to communicate with when reserving, and checked in with us while we were there to be sure all of our needs were met. It was easy for us to check in late, as the door has a coded key entry--no need to carry a key around. Very nice!

The location was walkable to coffee and delicious sushi at Miso Phat, as well as other restaurants and shops.

There were no surprises--the listing is accurate to what we found--or even better. We really appreciated this sweet place, Jay, and look forward to returning again! Thank you!
