The location near Maalaea Bay was perfect for me, as I had booked a whale watching tour that leaves out of the Bay. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the marina.
The lanai is spacious (by Hawaii standards) and overlooks the ocean. I could hear the waves crashing from the living room and bedroom. Also, there are nice cross breezes with the bedroom windows and sliding glass/screen door open. I didn't use or need the AC.
Thanks, again!
