We stayed here for 8 nights and were glad that we chose this property over one of the next door resorts. The property was just as advertised and was in a great location to enjoy both the beach and many of the other attractions in the area. It was great having a full kitchen, grilling area, washer/dryer, and parking on premise. The extras such as the beach chairs & umbrellas were an added benefit. Christina was great at giving us some info before the trip to compliment our own research. We rented snorkel gear and were able to swim with 3 turtles and countless species of fish/eels/etc. right at the beach in front of the association. It was a great base to travel to Haleakala Crater/Road to Hana/Lahaina all as day trips. The shopping mall is 2 minutes down the road and less than a 10 minute car ride is a Safeway if you want to get groceries. We walked to the beach the first day and it took about 10 minutes, but I would suggest you pack up your car with whatever you want and drive 2 minutes down to the pool area and park down there in a designated spot. We really enjoyed the property and when we come back if its available we would definitely stay here again.
