This was our first time in Maui, so not much to compare to. I would consider a different location if your interested in walking to and from conveniences such as stores or restaurants as there is not much around. There is a beach that is a short walk from the rental but considering your in Maui there are far more beautiful beaches a short drive away. The unit itself is showing some age. Not recommended for persons with mobility issues as there are many stairs and the unit is farthest from the parking lot, so hauling suitcases was some work.
