The location of Barb's place was perfect for us. There is a small beach right across the road that provided some very peaceful moments at sunset. Also across the road is a good place to learn about the humpback whales. It doesn't take long to get to the many other beautiful beaches (by car), restaurants, shopping and food stores to the south. And it's an easy drive to Lahaina or even to Kahului if you want a bigger shopping center or the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Barb's place is very convenient on ground level; it's compact, yet spacious enough. It's easy to cook in with a nice dining area. There is lots of closet space off the washroom. The L shaped porch/lanai is a great alternative to eating or reading inside. Air conditioning is there, but we never used it. It has easy parking. There is use of a pool and spa and a tennis court; as well there are beach items there for guests' use. We highly recommend Barb's place.
