Perfect for family of 4: parents and 2 teens.Best part is being right on the beach. Full kitchen and BBQ in front of beach makes meal prep easy.Older teen boy getting bigger so roll out sofa not as comfortable as before but not a big complaint.Easy walk to coffee, bakery, general store, snorkel rentals. Excellent communication on part of owner/ manager. Very relaxed environment, no crowds.
Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay very much! Some of the previous reviews made us a little nervous, but our experience was wonderful! The unit itself met all of our needs, beds for everyone, fully equipped kitchen, and the view could not be beat, we enjoyed sunset from the balcony each night! The pool & beach were great as well. We enjoyed how laid back & kind everyone was & enjoyed the proximity to coffee, restaurants, etc. A couple minor things, we could have used more pillows specifically for the extra bed in living room, the toaster does not work well, and it would be very nice to have a screen door on the front door for airflow, but nothing that changed our experience drastically at all. We hope to return to Maui in the future & would love to stay here again. It was pure heaven on earth!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hale Mahina. The condo was in a great location, convenient to shops and restaurants. Amazing views of the beach from the balcony. Everything was clean and comfortable.
The beauty of the view was the best thing sadly. This is my 14th time to the island and I’m sad to say this condo was the 1st one that I had stayed at that sadly has not put much back into their condo. For the price that is being charged it’s sad that an owner doesn’t invest a bit more into their place. All outside furniture was very unkept, glass top table was not cleaned, beach chairs rusted out and fabric completely tore on 1. Coffee pots were so so dirty and on the first brewed pot prior to us cleaning it was very bad taste. Tiles broke on entry stairs, missing tiles in main bathroom shower, floor upstairs right outside the bathroom had a pile of sand that was not cleaned up prior to our arrival, front bedroom had a roof leak that we reported and sadly the lack of communication that they even came and looked at the issue.
Loved our stay in this location! When we arrived they had the TV's on with Hawaiian music playing and the windows opened for us to air the condo out and keep it cooler. This condo does not have AC. That didn't seem to bother us until the last two nights after the daytime temps had been a little higher and then the evening was a little more uncomfortable inside. We noticed other units had a steel screened door on the entryway which would be nice in this unit too because then you could get a nice cross breeze to keep it cooler inside. They provided everything we needed for our stay plus some which was such a lovely touch. We saw sea turtles everyday. We even saw whales for the first several days we were there which was incredible because it was towards the end of the season for them in this area. We brought our binoculars which made the whale and dolphin viewing much easier. The unit was pretty clean although the floors could have been cleaned a bit better and the garbage in the bathroom upstairs had never been emptied from the people before. The shower downstairs needs work because the stone tiles are coming up and I hope they repair it before someone cuts their feet on one. The beds are comfortable but the pillows are not. It was nice having the washer and dryer available in the unit but just keep in mind that running the dryer will make the unit feel warmer. The couch in the living area is extremely uncomfortable. Overall a wonderful stay and would stay again.
We've stayed several times at the Hale Mahina but first time in this unit. As with past stays, it didn't disappoint. Had a great time.
we have stayed at hale mahina multiple times and love the location, facilities and over-all friendly vibe
We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was exactly as listed. It was clean & had all the supplies we needed. We enjoyed watching the ocean from our balcony every night and morning. We enjoyed using the pool, hot tub, and charcoal grills. We played on the beach that is right there. Two of the days we had sea turtles up on the beach. Other days we saw them swimming. We loved the location. The stand fans were so nice to have so we didn't get too hot at night. We appreciated that there was dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, garbage bags, shampoo, soap, & conditioner. There were plenty of bath towels, and loved that there were beach towels too. The location was outstanding (so close to our favorite snorkeling beaches!!) We would definitely stay here again!!

Our family of four had absolutely wonderful time on the property! Location at the beach with turtles coming to rest, we could see dolphins swimming from the balcony, swim in the ocean with snorkel and see diverse underwater wildlife, swimming pool with hot tub, the house is very clean and had everything we needed forComfortable stay! Beach towels were provided. We would definitely stay again! Highly recommend!
The view from this property was probably as good as one could hope for. Access to the pool and the little private beach was perfect! The only downside to the property was that there was no air conditioning, so we felt quite warm the majority of the time in the condo. Other than that, we loved it!!!
Great place to stay right on beach,
Beautiful ocean view, quick replies from hosts. Unfortunately only 1 parking spot with no option to pay for a 2nd stall. Overall great stay though.
Older unit, but excellent location. Very windy and there is some road noise, however the grounds and beach area were very enjoyable. Would stay here again.
Location is great - it is a mix of full time residents short & long term renters - very friendly they have a happy hour ritual at sunset - turtles roll up on the beach - host had everything we needed with laundry, dish soap some everyday items so we didn’t have to buy some of the everyday stuff - everything was perfect!
We have stayed at this location several times. The location is 5 star. The facilities are dated but clean. You could experience traffic noise.
If you are an entitled 70+ year old, this is a place for you! Our family stayed at this property many years ago, and really enjoyed it so we returned. This time we were met with many of the condo owners, which happened to be elderly people who do not enjoy guests at ‘their’ property. We were treated so poorly and made to feel so uncomfortable it was hard to enjoy the property. We definitely won’t be returning and I regret having recommended Hale Mahina to people previously. Save yourself thousands of dollars and go someplace you’ll feel welcome!
What you see in the images it’s exactly the way it looks. It could be a little bit cleaner but overall it was a nice stay. Access to the beach and pool were really convenient and easy. cons: there is absolutely no air conditioning. Couch is a little uncomfortable, and it’s very hot upstairs. The pool has too many rules. The kids couldn’t play with their toys and there was a manager always on duty making sure you weren’t making too much noise. Pros: you can’t beat the location. We were close to everything condo was equipped with everything we needed washer and dryer is definitely a plus the lanai it was super nice to hang out on to watch the sunsets located on the fourth floor right next to the elevator so very convenient.

Although the living room and deck were quite small for 5 people, we still had a great time and the location cant be beat

We had a wonderful stay. The location is perfect, right on the beach. And a bonus to watch turtles and whales all week, with sunsets from the lanai at night. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for the week.
A screen door on the front to allow air flow and different windows in the extra room to quiet the loud road noise would be my only suggestions.

The property was great except for the wind. It was like an airplane taking off and landing. The back windows need weather stripping.

The rental was beautiful and we had an ocean view. There was a sea turtle that came ashore everyday, and we were able to go down and view it from afar. Such a great experience waking up every morning and going out on the balcony to sip coffee and look at the ocean!
