We LOVED this rental, it was updated and offered free use of boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs and umbrella. We spent most of our time while inside on the balcony, the VIEWS! You could watch the sea turtles in the bay right down below, search for whales off in the distance, gaze at Molokai and the SUNSETS!
Two great beaches are within walking distance: Napili Beach (5 minutes), and Kapalua Beach (15 min.). Great snorkeling here, and along the way are many interesting tidepools. The Kapalua Trail is a half mile away (1.7 miles).
The banyon forest is about a 15 minute drive. Local grocery store and a few restaurants are either a 15-minute walk or 3-minute drive. Honolua General Store is a 5-minute drive. They have great souvenirs and reasonably priced local food.
Cannot say enough about this location. We visited many other beaches and loved this spot best. It's more peaceful and cozy and GORGEOUS compared to the high-rise hotels.
