The view is as great as advertised. The area is quieter than traditional condo setting; creating a tranquil experience. There is superb access to a long stretch of sandy beach ; again with less crowds. The ocean waves can crash against a rock wall that can be a bit noisy at night. You get a view of the sunrise coming over the mountains only to enjoy the sun all day along. As expected the direction of the condo and area of Maui does not allow sunsets viewing from the balcony, but a short walk down the beach is all that is needed. The condo is spacious, nice "trimmings," well stocked with more than essential items (laundry detergent, bug spray, basic first aid kit, etc..). Well insulated so you do not here neighbors walking around. Of course, here them outside if windows are open. The drive to restaurants is a bit of a chore about 20 plus minutes in either direction. Cleaning fee $275 & service fee of nearly $400 was steep. Overall, very delighted with the view, comfortable surroundings.
