Wade's place is pretty accurate to the pictures. There isn't a beach, it is all rocky, however you can go into the ocean but it would be at your own risk. The location of the unit is on the ground floor and you cannot see the ocean but you can definitely hear it and it's a few steps away. The place was far away from locations if you want to travel to hana, Haleakala, Kihei etc. but if you want peace and quiet it was very good. No complaints, he had all the necessary equipment including a stocked kitchen, boogie boards, mats etc. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider it again if we ever come back to Maui :)
