My boyfriend and I came to Maui for my 25th birthday. We absolutely loved staying on the ground floor and being able to walk outside and see the ocean. The view is gorgeous. We were able to see a few turtles close to the shore. It is a rock shore, but if you walk down a few blocks, there is a sandy shore nearby. Maalea is the windiest part of the island, but we didn't mind. It made for a nice breeze at night. There are BBQs outside to cook and we liked that the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Parking space is right in front which made for easy access. Overall, it is a beautiful place!
