This location is wonderful on the island! Very central, windy (!!) so evenings and nights are cool, we didn't use the a/c, barely used fans. It is a very safe location really close to the harbor for boat trips. The view of Haleakala is awesome and we saw turtles every day. The waves are LOUD! They will wake you up and you will miss them terribly when you're back home. Good swimming beach at the end of the road. You do get a little smoke smell when they burn the sugar cane in the mornings. Laundry is in the kitchen!! Lovely, lovely, lovely, we were sad to leave.
