This was our first family trip to Maui. Our kids range from 20-7 years old. This is not like a resort I’m case that’s what you are looking for. We wanted more of an intimate family vacation. Kids enjoyed the pool that was mostly all ours. My husband enjoyed grilling for us and we spend a lot of time in the private patio. If you will be spending plenty of time in doors then the absence of AC might be an issue for you. It gets really hot during the day. However we had plenty of activities and beach time planned that we left the house when it was still fresh and returned by 6pm to the pool and with the fans in the house and the cool Maui breeze it was perfect for us. Stayed fresh thru the night as well. The grounds are beautiful and I enjoyed plenty of walks. The location is right across the street from beach access and there’s plenty of parking available. We visited plenty of times and beach was not crowded. Perfect snorkeling we even saw sea turtles at this beach. We loved our stay! Specially the kids who were not interested in a busy resort vacation.
