The villa is fantastic - clean, modern, comfortable, nice kitchen for those who want to cook or grill, semi private pool (and hot tub) shared with a cluster of other villas, a garage which has a cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards, and a wagon. Beach Towels are easily available at a kiosk. The porch /lanai is awesome - outdoor seating for eating, 2 couches, and a grill and outdoor mini fridge. There is a grocery store across the street and the food trucks are within easy walking distance. It was the nicest airb&b we’ve ever stayed at and gets high marks. Getting to the beach is not “walk out your door” easy - it’s probably a 5 min walk. And being on the north side of black rock meant the beach was not as nice as the beach south of black rock, especially in front of the honua kai resort. But there is a lot to do in Maui - so we did not spend a lot of time lounging at the beach anyways. And when we did, we either went to whalers village or Fleming beach. Overall it was a good choice - the villa was awesome, and the beach situation less so, but it worked well for our group.
