This is the perfect location for your next visit. Besides views, very quiet in the morning and often saw families doing yoga. Having two bathroom made it easier to host gatherings during the day. We sat 6 people comfortably.

Went to Maui for an extra long birthday weekend. Everything was superb! The beach south of the condo is great for swimming, snorkeling, and walking. We saw a couple turtles snorkeling. The condos next door rent kayaks and paddle boards. The boat ramp to the north had daily snorkeling & dive trips. Ideal location actually.

We had a wonderful stay! The place has excellent views and everything one might need. We could easily spot whale spouts from our floor (January)! The place is clean and quiet. The bed is comfortable, WiFi is reliable, and parking is easy. We would stay here again!

Check out time is too early and not industry standard. No one checks out at 10a. Also, if a code changes, I should be updated immediately. Not having access to the laundry room was inconvenient. Beyond that, great stay!

Amazing stay at with the most incredible views! The property is situated right on the ocean with large, spacious grounds. A long stretch of sandy beach with plenty of space and warm ocean water where you can swim with the turtles is steps away. There are lots of places nearby to eat or have a drink and Costco and Walmart are 25 minutes away if you're cooking. The only issue we had was that the air conditioning was not working during our stay. They attempted to fix it but it was not resolved before we left. Will definitely be going back.

Everything you would want for a Hawaii vacation. The views from this unit are breathtaking. You can watch the most beautiful sunsets perfect view from your balcony or living room. The pool is amazing, a sand beach is about a 3 min walk and just on the other side of this resort is a turtle resting area and we saw 7 turtles there throughout the week just chilling. This place is also located perfectly to just about everything you wanna see , eat and do. This is our new #1 go to whenever we are back on Maui. Host was great, easy and smooth. Nonestly , no complaints at all.

This unit was wonderful! The location was perfect. It was clean, quiet, and the views were top notch. Having the general store close by was very handy. You are in walking distance to some restaurants and shops which is good if you’re not wanting to take a vehicle out. I would recommend this unit to anyone and look forward to going back!
