Beach next door was perfect for young kids...had a playground and shallow pools on sandy beach, don't have to worry about your child being swept away in a big wave. We did travel around to several other beaches as there's not much actual beach front at Paki Maui. (which worked out find for us) We loved the co-op Farmers Market just across the street, super convenient to walk to for nearly all your needs. Whatever you don't find there you can take a short walk down to the ABC store, which is a basic general store and gas station. The Fish Market has delicious shrimp tacos... I wish I had eaten just one more before vacation was over! The condo has a nice kitchen with full amenities... everything we needed to get by. We did wish there were different lighting... we love eco-friendly, but the LED bulbs were too harsh on our eyes. Pull out couch could use an update, the head has to remain in a raised position for it to be stable, and in a strong with the sliding glass doors rattle... I rolled up a piece of paper towel and put it in the top left crack as a temporary fix so we could sleep. All-in-all we really enjoyed our stay! And loved the location.
