Fantastic location. Being directly on the beach offers so much. The views, the sound of the waves and access to a world class beach are amazing. Caught the end of Whale Watching season, but the most incredible thing us how many Sea Turtles are always directly below the balcony feeding on the rocks. Each day their would normaly be one of the big ones sunning itself on the beach. Fabulous experience.
The recently renovated apartment oozes classic Hawaiian style and the convenience of the Maalaea location is tremendous for getting around anywhere on the Island with ease. It does face a tad too much to the south for perfect sunsets when we visited (late March early April), but the views are still outstanding and watching the sunset glow cast over Kihei, Wailea and Haleakala were outstanding. The locals in the building call this apartment "The Penthouse." It does not disappoint. I highly reccomend it.
