January 2023 review - We stayed here for our honeymoon in Maui and would 100% stay here again. Quick and easy walk to the beach. Right below the apartment is a small convenience store, a sushi restaurant (BYOB too!), and a chill little dive bar called Dollie’s. Across the street near the beach is the Beach House restaurant which has great food and happy hour specials.
The apartment has everything you could need, minus a beach view. The balcony view looks out to the highway and up the mountain, but is a great spot to enjoy some beverages from the convenience store below when you’re looking to stay in one night. The beach is an easy walk across the street though! We visited some of the resort areas and were so glad we stayed in the Kahana area instead. Much more of a local feel. Also you get your own designated parking spot.
TLDR: if you’re not a resort type of person, just rent a jeep and stay here. Plenty to see and do within 20 minutes, including just across the street
