There is no better place we could’ve chosen for our stay in Maui!!
Continue reading because I’ll share details about access to the beaches.
We traveled with our 2 children as well as my parents. There was more than enough room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the condo. The room upstairs is an open space, so beware there’s no door for privacy and plan sleeping arrangements accordingly. There are, however, 3 full bathrooms and they’re all impeccably beautiful. Kitchen has absolutely everything you need whether your cooking or baking. If you’re particular with spices bring your own. They have a drip coffee maker and they provide their own brand name of Hawaiian coffee which is delicious!
The house also had a cooler, beach chairs, a beach umbrella and some mugs you can use to keep your drinks cold. There are plenty of beach towels and they provide plenty of shampoo and conditioner so all you need is your toothbrush and toothpaste!
This condo has a beautiful view. To the right (facing the ocean and about a 2 minute walk from your front door) you have Oneloa bay. Wake up at 6:30am and walk with your coffee to enjoy the most beautiful sunrise! Come back home, have breakfast, and then to the left (south) just a 7 minute walk (with a gorgeous view) you have Kapalua bay. In the evenings is when we saw most of the sea turtles laying on the sand. They rent paddle boards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear right there if you want to swim with turtles! This bay was super calm to relax and not worry about crashing waves with the kiddos. About another 7 minutes south you find Napili which is comparable to Kapalua, but since Kapalua was so close we didn’t really spend much time there. Another option up North (to the right of the condo), you can take the Kapalua trail for an 18 minute walk and you’ll find Fleming beach. This is a much bigger bay, relatively calm water, but not enough to leave kids swimming unattended. Absolutely gorgeous views. The reason I loved this condo so much is for the many options of beautiful family beaches without worrying about parking- all within walking distance.
This condo is 55 minutes from the airport. If you go to Hana remember you have to travel back to Kahului to begin the Hana road. It is about 17 minutes from Lahaina. We don’t like busy town center life, so this location was perfect and private. We went to the Grand Wailea Luau and that was also a 50 minute drive.
The condo offers a grocery delivery, but I just did a Walmart curbside scheduled on the day of arrival and picked it up from the airport.
I hope this helps plan your vacations. You would never regret staying here!
Aloha!
