Ideal location! The condo is directly across the street from the beach, which we found to be a great place to watch the beautiful sunsets.
Everything you need is in walking distance - restaurants, shops, surf rentals, the ABC store (convenience store), food trucks, shaved ice stands and my favorite - the Tiki Lounge for best pina coladas!
Other areas on Maui are not too far as Kihei is about 20 min drive from the airport, Paia is about half an hour, Wailea is about 10 min, and Lahaina about 40 min.
The condo is safe with security routinely patrolling the property and has a few outdoor grills and pools which my two daughters loved.
The unit itself was on the top floor (there’s an elevator) and spacious enough for three adults and two little kids. We appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer, the pack ‘n play for the baby and all the beach gear - including a wagon (essential for families!), cooler, boogie boards and sand toys which occupied by my toddler at the beach for hours.
The unit has a nice set up with a loft, balcony and dining table without feeling too cramped. And it comes with air conditioners. There was a pretty good breeze in the late afternoons and evening so many times the unit was cool enough without turning on the AC.
In all, a perfect home base for our first trip to Maui!
