It was our first family trip to Maui and Zoe's condo couldn't have been a better stay. We were about 7 minutes away from the beach. Yes you can cut through the whalers resort even though there are private signs. The pool and grill area is just a short walk away from the back entrance. The patio was beautiful as it lead into the golf course and a scenic view of the sky partial ocean. It was calm and quiet. The babies loved it. Washer and dryer were a great addition as we didn't have to load up on clothes. Beach toys, boogie boards and mat are provided. Pots, pans, dishes and cups are provided as well so you can cook for your family if you're not in the mood for Hawaiian food every night. Thank you Zoe for a wonderful stay. It was lovely. We will definitely stay again!
