This area is pretty windy. It is a good location, half way between the west side and south side. There is a beach at the end of the street, we drove to it, but you can walk. You can also walk to the Maui Ocean Center, that was nice to do in the heat of the day. We bought tickets on Costco.com for the ocean center. The condo is very clean and nice balcony to watch the waves and turtles that play out front. There is a pool, it was closed while we were there.
