This was our first trip to Maui and it felt perfect to stay in a central location with ocean view! We had a really great lunch at Seascape which was walking distance. This restaurant had a really cool farm to table menu and lovely view of the bay. There are some cute shops and a couple other restaurants walking distance by the bay. There were also a few food trucks including a great coffee truck next to the nearest gas station.
Ralph was great with communication and very accommodating, letting us do a late checkout on our last day. This was so nice because we missed out on 6 hours of daylight our first day because of flight issues and didn't end up making it until after sunset. The fact that beach gear was provided was so nice - we used the little cooler and chairs a lot! The kitchen was well stocked including some Rubbermaid storage containers which we appreciated for storing our fresh cutup pineapple, etc. We were also gifted with coffee, pineapple wine, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts upon arrival - a nice touch! I would definitely recommend staying here!
Also highly recommend the Gypsy tour guide app - we downloaded it for the road to Hana, but ended up using it almost every time we were in the car - the guide was awesome giving us pointers and narrative/history along the way.
