The condo is located about a 2 minute drive to Wailea beach - one of the best beaches Maui has to offer. Great snorkel location, lounging, and walking/playing on the beach. The condo has everything you could need for your stay in Maui. Upgraded look, very clean, and the host included 3 beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels. I wouldn't say this condo is within walking distance to the beach, but like I said, the drive is very quick and easy. There's plenty of great shopping about a minute away. The location is ideal because you can go north to Kihei, Paia and Road to Hana. You can also easily go West to Kaanapali and Napili areas to explore other beaches. The host was very responsive to my questions and check in/out as well as parking was a breeze! Mahalo!
