Everything was as advirtised & the hosts couldn't have been more accomodating. Perfect location. We will definitley be back!
We absolutely loved our stay at Annie’s Surf Shack. That view from the balcony is just amazing, wanted to spend all day, every day out there. The unit was immaculately clean, and super comfortable. The communication from booking all the way through check out was exemplary. You even get a discount booking directly. Great location, and going to Dollies’s Pub for pizza is must!
This is a wonderful unit with gorgeous views. The location was centrally located to beaches, restaurants and stores. Parking was never a problem. Communication with hosts was easy. The unit itself is perfectly stocked with everything you'll need...hair dryers, pots/pans, dishes, glasses, binoculars, beach equipment and comfortable beds! We truly enjoyed our stay. We hope to stay here again soon.
My wife and I really enjoyed our 6 night stay, especially the view from the balcony watching the whales outside, the sunset, and the view of Molokai and Lanai. We hope to return soon!
Annie's Surf Shack has become our home away from home.....The Lanai has a full ocean view, and Molokai in the distance, sea turtles, snorkelers, wind surfing...trade winds were glorious! No need for AC at all....all the fans provided also were wonderful! The decor is exactly what I would choose....very "home" feeling! We are not like your typical tourist, we want to live there, when we are there...not be in high rise hotels. Wonderful beaches very nearby!
This top floor condo has an amazing view overlooking the ocean and two islands to the West. The sunsets are spectacular! With the trade winds blowing fresh summer breezes we enjoyed sitting on the lanai and the comfy couch. There's easy access to local beaches and snorkeling which we really enjoyed. I highly recommend and would love to stay again soon!
Spectacular views from the patio! The condo was well stocked with all the amenities one needs for a very comfortable stay. It’s like taking your home with you. Clean and no musty smell like we’ve run into at other places. Beaches and restaurants all around you. Great, attentive hosts! We will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍🥰
Annie's was perfect for our first visit to Maui! Quiet, peaceful, relaxing with amazing views! Easy access to the whole island with all it's available activities! This place is equipped with everything you need for an Hawaiian experience without a crowded resort feel! Highly recommend!!

We (my husband, little 1-year-old son and I) stayed at the Surfshack for 3 nights in June 2023 and felt very comfortable. The apartment is very lovingly and individually furnished. We also loved the details like the binoculars and beach items. Mark always had an open ear for questions and answered very quickly and in detail. The view is fantastic and the temperature in the apartment is very comfortable even without air conditioning.

Annie’s surf shack has everything you need in a stay in Hawaii. The views from the balcony allow you to relax and enjoy the sunsets, as well as have a morning cup of coffee while spotting sea turtles and whales. Would give a 10/10 review.
Due to the excellent communication from Mark prior to our trip, we expected Annie’s to be nice. But we didn’t anticipate just how much our choice to stay here would enhance our vacation. Being a beachfront condo, we were able to drink our early morning coffee on the lanai enjoying the waves and being treated to an occasional whale breaching (our stay was late Feb & early Mar). There were binoculars there to allow a closeup view. We ate most breakfasts there just taking in the amazing scenery. And the sunsets were spectacular!!
The amenities were too numerous to mention…. Including every pot/pan/utensil/plate/glass you’d need. The mattress was very comfy and everything in the condo was immaculate. They had nice snorkeling equipment, body boards, coolers, etc… for use by guests. Very quiet neighborhood with ample free parking. Very close to most everything we did. Can’t think of a single thing I’d change (and I’m pretty picky). It helps that the owners use the condo when they’re in Maui.
We had great time staying here. The condo was clean, the location was great, and the owner Mark was very responsive. We had a few questions during the staying, and he responded very fast,, which makes our stay much easier..
We saw whales from the balcony, and listened to the sound of ocean when we went to bed.
You can go to all the best beaches between 5 to 15min by car.
I highly recommend staying here if you visit the west side of Maui.
Annie's Surf Shack surpassed our expectations for a wonderful home to stay in for our anniversary trip! Not only was it a well supplied kitchen, but the ambiance was pure aloha. We would sit on that Lanai and watch Turtles, dolphins, and birds. They even had great quality binoculars to use! The decor was so beautiful, I loved the furniture, lamps, pictures, etc! We will definitely want to stay at Annie's again! Thank you to Mark and Annette!
The unit itself was very clean and the area it's located in was, too. It had a lovely view of the ocean and we saw whales few times daily. The bed in the bedroom and the pull out sofa bed were both very comfortable as well. In addition, there was an elevator which made it very easy to move our luggage. The pool was nice. There were couple grills which we did not use during our stay, but they seemed to be in great condition and we saw other people using them. There was a staircase from the hotel area down to the beach and another one down to the reef for snorkeling, you can also see turtles from there. We also used the laundry room which was very convenient and we could pay using our mobile phones. Overall, it was a great experience and I definitely recommend it.
We enjoyed a two week stay at Annie's Surf Shack. We absolutely loved sitting on the lanai and watching the sunsets and the whales. The condo is in a perfect location: close to snorkeling beaches and grocery stores. The condo has a well equipped kitchen; all of the items you would need for the beach (including snorkeling equipment); and a very comfortable bed. We especially appreciated the excellent communication with Mark, the owner. Quick response to any questions. We have no hesitations to planning a return visit!
We had the best time and felt very pampered at Annie’s Surf Shack!! They first made it very easy to book and then get to the condo. Lots of great suggestions for getting food etc to just get to the fun times! The condo is on the 4th floor and has an elevator. The view from the Lanai were fabulous- we whale watched while eating breakfast. We also watched the sunset on one night from the lanai. They had everything you could want! The kitchen was super- even a blender- and we made fun rum smoothies! We will be back!!!
Everything had been thought through. The owners were awesome with information leading up to and during our stay.
Beautiful View. Really cool adjacent beach. Pretty lawn. Breezy tradewinds. Sounds of the waves. Quiet neighbors. Island perfect!
The kitchen was full of items needed to cook or just hang out and order delivery. Comfortable seating areas. Great King sized bed. The set up of the condo made sense and was utilized 100%.
The lanai (balcony) felt private. but still provided amazing views. One chaise, a high top table with chairs, and lots of anything you would need for a day at the beach.
Walking distance to necessities and Doordash seemed to be familiar with the location.
We discovered that just about everything on the northernly western side of the island was considered "Lahaina", so it was a little confusing at first, but we soon learned the area, and everywhere we went was a beautiful scenic drive.
We very much felt at home, it was a wonderful week.

Great place to enjoy your stay in Maui. Incredible views from the lanai and a cozy feel to the condo.
Great place to end our Maui vacation after being at a large resort for a few days. Although its kind of pain waiting on check in day, the condo was VERY clean and you can tell the owners really care about your stay. Comes with everything you need to enjoy beach time. Great bathroom towels (sometimes rentals cheap out on towels!) Am still missing my morning coffee with that amazing view every morning.
This location was perfect! Loved being so close to everything! The owners were very helpful when needed! And the view… nothing can top it ❤️
Very nice condo in a great location with a great view. We really appreciated the tips from the owners. Only complaint were the parking spaces which are very small. Common problem in Hawaii.
The Welpman’s and their property are absolutely fantastic. Great view of Molokai and Lanai. I spoke with Mark Welpman,the owner, a few times during our stay on small items that ocurred. He took care of them immediately and even had a friend of his come over on one of the items. We have never met them, but they treated us like family.
It can’t get better than that!
Thanks Mark and Annie. We really appreciated you and your hospitatlity.

Just finished a 9 day stay. The view and the location was fantastic. The condition of the furnishings, decorations and supplies were all great.
Mark was very responsive and helpful as to keeping us informed and was a perfect host to their rental unit.
The building is from the late 70’s but that’s the charm of the older building rentals as the tenants are mostly owners and very friendly. This unit, 412, was modernized nicely.
We attended a building social event with music and pot luck food. My wife along with another learned dancer even did a couple Hawaiian dances for those attending, (she’s a lifelong enthusiast).
The view from the condo affords whale watching like I’ve never seen. 4 floors up gives an amazing view. We fully recommend you stay here and try it.
...Only slightly negative comment is the shared BBQs ran out of fuel twice while there and both times were slightly later in the evening so we weren’t prepared for that. Moral of the story...cook earlier.
In summary, the time spent there will be remembered as fantastic and we will talk about the view from the lanai to anyone who will listen.
Very nicely decorated , wonderful comfy king bed. Nicely stocked kitchen. Communicating with Mark was great
