This is an absolutely incredible spot. Rita’s place offers an unobstructed ocean view from a 3rd floor condo. Haleakala is visible from the balcony, and we saw several whales as well.
Rita has a beach bag, beach chairs, an umbrella, towels and snorkeling gear available for use and they are all in great condition. You can use them at Haycraft Park about a 5 minute walk away or use the pool right downstairs.
By car, Lahaina is ~20 minutes away, Kihei is ~15 minutes away, and Haleakala is ~1 hour away; but the aquarium (amazing), a few restaurants, a few shops, and a gas station are about a 5 minute walk away.
You won’t regret staying here whether it’s to relax or to be out and about!
