Minutes from the beach is 100% accurate and it's a beautiful beach at that. We caught our best Maui sunsets from this beach. Several good food options as well within a couple blocks. You could happily stay here for a couple of days and not have to drive anywhere. The condo was perfect for my wife and I and the area was really quiet at night which was a little bit of a surprise. My wife had fun adding our addition to the guest book and the adventures we had during our stay. It was fun to read the other entries before us. Nicole is a great host too. She was super responsive to all of my communications and there was a nice little personal touch when we checked in too!
