We had the most amazing holiday and felt our location was “central” to everything! We loved how quiet the area is and enjoyed some lovely afternoons at the pool! We loved watching the turtles in the water in front of the property, and the gorgeous sunrise views from the deck! Mahalo!!!
Great location , right on the water. Coffee on the balcony every morning.
We enjoyed our stay, place was clean and had all the goodies for a fun beach experience
Amazing views, great outdoor patio, AC!
Easy, well communicated instructions. Beautiful views. Clean rental, that has everything you could want. I'm picky and this exceeded my expectations.
We chose this property for the balcony and ocean view and it did not disappoint. It would have been nice to have a clock and/or outlets in the bedroom to charge our phones.
This condo has one of the most beautiful water views in the Maalaea area. You can watch surfers catch rolling waves from your lanai, as well as watch boats come and go from Maalaea harbor. The complex is well maintained, and the grounds are spotless. We also liked the fact that the condo has just the right amount of furnishings. Lastly, there's a Starbucks within walking distance, so we didn't miss our morning lattes.
Perfect central location to go anywhere on the island, love the location of this condo. Direct ocean view from the lanai and you can watch the surfers! Condo was equipped with everything you need. Great stay!
Really nice accomodation for good price. Good location wirh no crazy price for food & drinks.
This place was great! Loved the view from the balcony and highly recommend if visiting Maui.
Everything is great in this condo. The only negative is the peeler was pretty dull and I couldn’t find a lid that for the food storage containers other than that it was very nice. So not much bad to say indeed.
This condo was the perfect place for us! It was clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed to cook and eat. It helped that we stopped at Walmart for groceries before checking in. (There were filters for the coffee maker which was good because we didn’t think of that!) There were also chairs and beach towels that came in handy. And the view was AMAZING! We got to see the sunrise every morning from our balcony, and we could sit and stare at the ocean anytime we wanted. The location was perfectly situated between a park/beach and a shopping area, with only 10 minutes walking distance to either one. There were plenty of restaurants, as well as cute little shops to buy necessities and souvenirs. The same area has the harbor with at least 2 businesses that help set you up with boat tours. The park/beach is secluded and felt like we were on our own private beach. I can’t say enough good things about this condo! We highly recommend it and will definitely book again if we get the chance to go back to Maui.
The condo was perfect in terms of the view and location on the island. Everything was as described. The kitchen is lacking some basic items that most VRBO‘s have (such as salt and pepper and some sort of cooking oil), but that was truly the only disappointment. The management company was very responsive to requests with an immediate response and willingness to help. I would stay here again without question.
Place was fine. View was stunning but we loved working with Vacation Maui, the property manager as they were super responsive and professional.
Beautiful condo, beach is beautiful but not swimmable.
This property needs a deep clean of carpet in the bedroom and couch. This was communicated to management upon arrival. They offered to clean immediately, but we declined because we didn’t want the inconvenience while we were there. The bathroom needs an overhaul as well. The location on the water is lovely. View of the ocean and pool is second to none. The lanai is out of the wind, which is really nice as it was very windy. Unit is close to the elevator.
This is a great condo. It is centrally located making it perfect for first-time visitors to Maui who want to explore most of the island. You will need a car, as there are limited offerings within walking distance. We loved morning coffee on the Lanai while watching whales frolic in the bay. The unit was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with necessities. We found beach chairs and snorkeling equipment in the closet and there were even a few spices and other extras in the kitchen. Vacation Maui was an excellent host. They always responded to emails within a few minutes and sent help within an hour of our reporting an issue with the TV. We'll be back!
