This place is close to the road, but it never bothered us. Occasionally, you will hear the loud truck go by, but that's really it. The place is tidy, but you will get bugs. That's just island living. Place is spacious and overall, was just what my brother and I needed for our stay in Maui. It is a great central location to anything you would want to do on the west or east end. The breeze through the house is great if you have all the windows open and was nice to not using AC.
