My husband and I stayed here in July for about a week with my 22 year old niece and 18 year old daughter. It was a great location from which to go any direction on the island. It was about a 45 min. drive from the airport. Troy, the host, was very responsive and was able to answer my questions in a timely manner. There are a few markets within walking distance for convenience, but if you have a car I would recommend going to Safeway a short drive away. There's also a little market called "Farmer's Market" nearby that made really good açaí bowls and sandwiches. There are casual places (e.g., Slappy's) in a strip mall across the street of the resort with other restaurants which we did not try. We did eat China Boat restaurant (mostly takeout, but they allowed us to eat on their covered patio). The condo has many amenities including use of boogie boards and chairs for the beach. The unit overlooks one of the swimming pools and in the distance you can see the ocean (though a palm tree does obstruct some of the view). The kitchen is well appointed with cooking utensils and appliances. It was also nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit. There is a beach in front of the resort, but we ended up going about 10 mins. north to Kapalua Beach as we were told by locals that it was the place to go (get there early to find parking). We also went south to Lahaina where we shopped on Front Street, had a great meal at Frida's, and took surf lessons. The staff of the resort is friendly and helpful. I would stay here again if we were to return to Maui.
