Perfect Location

There were two things that were perfect about this place...Location and View! You are literally a stone's throw from the water. The palms are perfectly spaced as if there to frame the view. We used the murphy bed closest to the window because I could actually wake up in the morning and see the water while laying in bed! The space is tight but worked great for two people, especially when you put the murphy bed back up during the day. More than 2 people would feel cramped. Also, I think the murphy beds might be difficult for elderly people to work with.
I loved the 505 Front Street shopping center right next door (beach side). It's so close that it really feels like part of the property. We had dinner at the Pacific'o, which had great food, beautiful decor, and outstanding ocean views from its open air restaurant. We also had breakfast at Betty's Beach Cafe at the 505 shopping center. This was also a perfect place to go!
Lahaina shopping is just a short walk away. I think we walked into town just about every day over our 4 day stay. More shops and restuarants than you can imagine. Like I said, great location!
I love snorkeling but didn't bother trying to do it in front of the condo. It looked too shallow, so I spent time at Black Rock in Kaanapali, which is a great place to sunbathe and snorkel.
Just a couple negatives...toilet had a slow leak and was always running (couldn't really hear it over the ocean waves though) and no wireless internet (tough if you use an iPad) but there was a network cable. Other than that, we loved the place!
