We are from NJ and not familiar with the islands. After much research we landed on the Lahaina and Kaanapali beach area, like most tourists. We found this particular place to stay and it worked out beautifully for our family. It exceeded our expectations. It’s more like a hotel or resort than a condo. You will have the comfort of a front desk, large pools, hot tubs, open space to play, plenty of parking, and the units are updated and welcoming. We also enjoyed a few bites and drinks at Castaway Cafe. It’s 5 min to shopping and restaurants in Lahaina (this is before the fire), and about 30 min to the start of Road to Hana. Beaches by the resort were clean, with clear water and soft sand. These villas are the best value and you won’t regret staying here!
