This was such a great space for my family. It was close to the beach, restaurants, and had easy access to other areas of the island. Check-in and out were super simple and really made our experience relaxing. I would highly recommend staying here again, especially for the price compared to other properties and locations on the island, as this was a large space with two large bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. Most of the other properties we saw online had one room and a half the size of this space. The other great thing is that they had beach chairs and towels for our family to utilize.
The unit is a study in contradictions. The location next to the beach with a great ocean view is wonderful, however it is also next to an area frequented by homeless people who often startled us with their yelling. The unit is huge and has everything you could possibly need, however it is crammed full of extra stuff in the kitchen so much so that there is no room to store food. It is well furnished, however the furniture is old and tired. It’s a pretty good value but we later found another place to stay in Wailea for the same price without the downsides. The Wailea unit didn’t have as good of a view or the proximity to the beach. So it comes down to what your priorities are.
Excellent stay. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. View and location were excellent. Would book to stay here again.
Great location-nice condo. I’d stay here again
We have stayed in many different units in the Haleakala complex, and this was one of our favourites. The layout of the bedrooms was great and there was plenty of space for our two kids and us. The unit was well stocked, we hoped there would have been a better supply of beach gear (ie. umbrella and boogie board(s)) but it was nice to have some beach toys and chairs accessible to us. We will definitely look to book this unit again! Communication with the property manager was easy and very simple check in and check out instructions.
We were sadly disappointed with our 2 weeks stay. Soon after we arrived we noticed that the coffee table, and leather footstool were covered in small black particles which we soon found out are termite droppings! We sent pictures and complained. After many messages and phone calls they agreed to send pest control a week into our stay and a complimentary mid-stay cleaning. Even after this we continued to have to deal with waking up to many termite droppings all over the floor in the living room, and had to sweep up piles of these droppings each morning, which was very gross and unpleasant. The unit didn’t even have a very good broom! We complained again to and were told that they will send another exterminator on the day we were leaving so we could also have a late checkout, so more time to spend with the termites! We requested a discount and they offered us 20% off but the total discount ended up being about 16% off of what we were charged by VRBO. In my opinion this did not compensate us enough for the inconvenience and disgust we endured.
If you can get past the termites the unit is quite dated and has seen better days. All of the appliances look like they are from the 90s. The kitchen has no can opener. The pans are all warped. The kitchen tiles have many chips in them. Half the chairs on the lanai are breaking. The unit was not very clean when we arrived. The beach chairs had broken off headrest cushions and most of the straps were broken and the metal rusted.
Property was clean and well kept. Loved the high ceilings, open space, and ocean view.

Very comfortable and roomy vacation rental. Loved the seating on the Lanai for morning coffee. Beds and living room furniture were comfortable. Quiet location and nice and close to beach, restaurant and shopping.
Condo was great. High ceilings made it feel extra spacious and it was really nice to have AC. Kitchen was well stocked and beach gear including chairs, mats and coolers was really convenient. Fantastic location too as it was walkable to restaurants and beaches in Kehei.
Nice area, accommodations just as described. Local shops and a few restaurants in walking distance. Beach just across the road and several beach parks up and down the road.

My family and I had an amazing stay at B509. The place was clean, spacious, was at a prime location, had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the great service.
Great property. We love this property because it offers ocean views at an affordable price. We were staying with another couple and this was one of the few properties we found having two bedrooms each with a private full bathroom. It was also spacious with easy reserved parking across street from beach. We would recommend and stay there again.
The size of the unit was great. The windows were nice, however it would be great to have blinds/shades to keep it cooler in the unit. The location next to the street can be a bit noisy also. The drains in bathroom and kitchen are running slow as well as a a leaky refrigerator. Condo management staff was top notch working with us to not interrupt our stay with repairs. Great collection of beach toys/chairs. There was no can opener, but otherwise nicely equipped kitchen. Would also be nice to have a lamp or two by the sofa area.
This was our 1st trip to Maui. This was a great place for 2 couples— 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We could even see the ocean from our lanai. The place was clean and comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again. We really appreciated being able to use the beach equipment—towels, snorkeling gear, ice chest & chairs.
