Noelani is a perfect location for a relaxed stay in Maui. You definitely need a car, but worth it to be able to see all Maui has to offer. The beach is a couple hundred feet from the condo and is a perfect spot for sea turtle spotting and sunset watching. Dollies up the road is a great spot to catch a casual dinner and drink. We tried to go to Miso Phat up the road as well but could not get in. Make sure you put your name in at least two hours prior to closing if you want to dine there! The condo is a short drive to Lahaina where we dined most of our visit. Would highly recommend staying here!
