The view from the patio was breathtaking. We spent both morning and evening enjoying the view and the sound of the ocean. The access to the beachfront from this condo is unbeatable. My family, rented snorkel equipment across the street from the condo (extraordinarily convenient) and snorkeled out in front of the condo many of the 10 days we were in Maui. Our family come from a much cooler climate, and even though the condo did not have AC, many fans were provided for the sleeping areas that kept it comfortable at night.
