Great place to stay and experience Maui for the first time. The location is perfect and description is accurate. Great beginner surf spot across the street where you can catch killer sunsets too. Dive shop, surf and bike shop all downstairs. Restaurants and bars are 5 min walk along with grocery store. The intersection located with easy 15-35 min drive to just about every top places you want to do for day trips around the island. Very clean, with great amenities including washer/dryer, cookware, beach towels, chairs and cooler. The only thing I would warn is that depending on the season it can be a very busy intersection so if you are a light sleeper it may not be ideal. We didn’t mind it as the pros of the place significantly outweighed the noise.
A perfect home base for our New Year trip!
