Beautiful view, tranquil, feel like a local

This is our second stay, we highly recommend it. Ocean is in front for snorkeling, sunset dinners, and just relaxing while enjoying the laid back experience of being on a tropical island. We have traveled to the Islands since 1970; trust me this is what you think of when going to Hawaii. Of course, if you are into the Disney Land experience of traveling it is not for you. This is how real people experience the islands. You experience it as a local; grocery store is within walking distance, as is shopping mall, and several great restaurants. Just rent a small car; slots do NOT accomodate a Lincoln Continental or Hummer! Linda provides anything and everything one could want. I actually should be saying that the place "sucks" so that no one else books it, but I've been troubled over the years by the number of tourists that don't experience the real Hawaii. Nice people live here and nice visitors stay here. Wailea, Makena, and Kanapalea are easy excursions. Do not stay in Kihea if you can stay here. We feel like we are at home when we walk into the condo. And you will not find a better view anywhere, even at twice the price. Pool is cool,beach is nearby since rocks are in front. However, you will see a beautiful sunset with upto 30 sailboats anchored in front. Its just where one should go if one wants to experienced the real Hawaii. Lynda is a very nice person to deal with and leaves most ammenities in her condo so that you don't have to buy them. It is quiet and peaceful. We've traveled world wide but really enjoy the "local experience" of staying at Linda's. Don't tell anyone else though! Very appreciative Alaskans

My personal tips

Rent a small to standard sized car, stalls are small. Walk along the rocky shore to pick up sea shells, that is where they are. Good snorkeling out front. Excellent Chinese restuarant 2 blocks up. Get your exercise and walk; act like a local rather than a tourist! Enjoy Lahaina. Good place to bring a bike if you are into that.
