There's not much of an ocean view from the condo but the beach is steps away. The condo is fully equipped for eating in. The barbecue setup by the pool works well. Bonus features of the unit included free WiFi, a BluRay player, great appliances (washer, drier, dishwasher) and access to easily portable beach chairs and umbrella. The complex is very family oriented so be prepared for lots of kids in the pool area if you're visiting during peak vacation times. We were able to walk to a grocery store and a few restaurants, but most of the action is further south in Kihei if that's what you're looking for. Overall, we were very happy with the 9 days we spent in this unit.
