This was our first trip to Maui, and I wanted to be AT the ocean, not just have an ocean "view." This condo is perfect for that...the ocean is literally just outside! We have an expansive view up and down the coast, and have lovely sunsets. The condo is at the north end of Kihei, so it's quiet, and we have quick access to the highway to get to other towns. The beach is great for walking and not crowded, and the farmer's market across the street has some great goodies. The bed is comfortable, the linens are high-quality...all-in-all it's a great place to stay.
