The moment we stepped into the room, my wife and I made a bee line to that balcony to soak in that gorgeous view of the ocean. Both the island of Kaho’olawe and the Molokini crater were visible from the balcony. On a side note, highly recommend signing up for a snorkel excursion to Molokini. Beautiful, clear water with a plethora of fish to see.
Back to the balcony, being from the East Coast of the mainland, our body clocks had us waking up before 5 every morning. At those times you can see the canoe club rowing out, some early morning water sports enthusiasts riding what appeared to be self powered boards, and our last morning there, we saw sea turtles popping their heads out of the water.
The beach is literally less than a minute walk from the room. Beach chairs, coolers, and boogie boards were provided which really allowed us to have even more fun/relaxing time on the beach. The beach itself is clean and never felt crowded. Every morning we walked the sand and it felt great. There is a pool onsite but we never used it as we preferred to spend our time in the ocean. From what we saw, it’s clean and taken cared of. We did spend a few minutes in the hot tub after some of our more physically challenging excursions.
The living room was spacious with a coffee table and a regular table for eating. The tv is in a low, odd spot, but it looks like that was the only place for it. Plus we never bothered watching tv the entire time anyways so that didn’t bother us.
Kitchen has a lot of things you’ll need- coffee maker, rice cooker, toaster, utensils, oven/stove, glassware, plates, bowls, ice cube trays and ice bladders, and a lot more that escapes my mind at the moment. The only things you’d need to provide should you want to bring food out with you are sandwich bags, food containers, and aluminum foil.
The bedroom was nice and the bed was comfortable. There was a tv in there as well. Because you’re so close to the ocean, you can listen to the waves as you fall asleep.
Bathroom was clean and has dimming lights on the sink so you’re not blinding yourself in the mornings.
Location-wise it’s about a 15 minute drive from the airport, 30 minutes from the coastal town of Lahaina, 35 to Kaanapali, and the Kihei restaurants, shops, and beach spots are all within 15 minutes depending on how far South you go.
This was definitely one of our best experiences and well worth the price! Should we ever decide to visit Maui again (which we really want to), we would definitely try to book this place first!
