This was a great homebase for our family of 2 adults and 1 toddler while we visited Maui - the restaurants, beaches and shops of Kihei are 5-15 minutes away, and Lahaina is only about 30-40 minutes. There's a tiny county park across the street with an old "fishpond" - a manmade reef that creates a calm, shallow area perfect for toddlers with a short strip of beach.
