The location of this studio is incredible! Walking distance from many beaches. Napali Bay is the closest (a min away) and has quiet ocean good for swimming. Kapalua Bay is 10min away, great for snorkeling, quite crowded though. Our favorite was Fleming's beach that for some reason didn't show up in our research. It's really large, not crowded, and feels secluded thanks to it's surrounding vegetation, even though it's at the end of the Ritz Carlton complex. It even has a small burger shack for food and drinks! It's 30min away walking along the shore which is beautiful. We didn't try the breakfast place at the complex (the Gazebo), the line was huge even at the opening at 730 am. There's a great supermarket really close by, and if you're looking to rent snorkel gear, I'd recommend Boss Frogs: they have locations everywhere on the island where you can return your rentals. Studio is comfortable and has all utensils you need to cook your own food (no olive oil, pepper and salt so remember to bring these). The terrace is enjoyable, but there's no privacy as it is right by a meadow and close to a pool. Overall, highly recommend this place to discover West Maui!
