The ocean front view of the blue water from the condo is fantastic. There are turtles playing right by the shore. In the mornings we were treated with wonderful sunrises that were as colorful as a sunset. The unit I believe faces south. It was nicely furnished in island style. We found we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay (washer/dryer, AC too). It's about 4 miles to Kihei, 6 miles back to the Kahului (airport/Costco), 15 miles to Lahaina... so the location was perfect for our many adventures. Nearby is the Ocean Center with lots of great stores, food, and gas station. At the end of the road is a nice beach too. Our hostess Barbara worked with us on some scheduling issues. We were very pleased and hope to return soon. Mahalo
