This place is a gem. I was on the island to attend a week-long retreat in Wailea and chose not to stay at the resort and not to rent a car. Both could have turned out to be bad choices, but thanks to the convenient location of this property, it turned out to be the perfect way to do things. Everything my roommate and I needed was within walking distance; shops, restaurants, cafes, beaches, park, music ,grocery store and bus line. The local bus runs right past the condo and cost two dollars, or one dollar for seniors. Every morning I sat on the balcony with a cup of coffee watching the town wake up and it felt like " Sesame Street Hawaiian Style" By the end of the week I recognized some of the locals . The views were beautiful, the people were happy. Every day I walked across the street and swam, and a couple of those days was joined by sea turtles. Shawn, the host was not only helpful, but I got the feeling that he really wanted us to have a good time while we were staying at his place. We did. Mahalo
