If you are interested in visiting all areas of Maui - this place is for you. It was 20-25 minutes from all the south Maui beaches of Kihei, Wailea, McKena, 30 minutes from west Maui, central Maui, and upcountry. The condo is peaceful and relaxing. One downside is that there was limited dinner nearby so if you were planning to go out for all your meals, your choices might be limited. Sugar beach was a great place to hang out and walk on but probably not the best for small kids to swim in.
