We were able to watch sea turtles, rays, boats & divers all from our own private lanai! Great trip!!
The condo is in a great location on the beach in a quiet area. The view is amazing. The condo is very clean and has been updated and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable. The unit is well stocked with towels, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, coolers, games and so much more making our stay more enjoyable. We ate dinner many nights on the lanai and could not get enough of the view and ocean sounds. We saw turtles swimming in the water and enjoyed snorkeling right in front of our unit. We were a family of 4 including a 28 year old and a 13 year old and felt we had enough room in the unit and enough privacy. This condo is a great place to stay for a visit in Maui.
The actual condo is wonderful and has a great location with beautiful scenery. If you have little kids, this may not be the place for you, as the on-site property manager was very difficult and constantly telling our children to be quiet on the pool deck.
10/10 host was very communicative and super nice. Condo was immaculate and the view is spectacular. Will book again if I ever get the chance!
This condo was perfect for our stay in Kaanapali . The views can’t be beat and the condo was close to many restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!
I’ve stayed at this property many times, but first in this unit. The unit was great. Clean and had everything we needed. A friend and I each took our mom’s. They enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the lani and the views are the best on Maui.
Beautiful property and beach.
We very much enjoyed the property and the condo itself. It was very nice and well supplied. It worked great for our 19 month old Grand Son. Lots of included amenities. Would gladly stay again for sure.
Good sized space for 4 adults, as long as you're okay with lack of complete walls. The upstairs "room" is a loft and the main floor room has an open wall to the rest of the unit. Kitchen was well-stocked and it was very easy to make our meals while we stayed. We really loved the pool area with easy access to the beach. I could've not left the property and spent every day of our 1 week vacation there. Our lanai was a beautiful spot to eat dinner every night with the sunset. Easy enough proximity into Lahaina. No AC, but lots of fans around to help keep it temperate during the day.
Go see for yourself! And enjoy a slice of Heaven on Earth. The condo is perfect; clean, well equipped, a view you can’t get enough of, and located in the midst of anything Hawaiian-style you may want.
I’ve stayed at Hale Mahina over 6 times and this is the best condo yet.
The only downside is there seems to be new management of the HOA and grounds since Wonderful Larry retired. The landscaping seemed a bit sad, where once a beautiful flower garden flourished, and while we were there a sign was posted stating “no children under 14 allowed in the hot tub.” In addition, a lovely young family staying in the building, with two children were apparently flagged and cited as having unruly children in the common areas. I saw this family every day and the children (under 5) were just fine and well attended by their very friendly and well behaved parents. I did not witness a single action that warranted any kind of reprimand.
Talking with other guests they too felt a shift in the overall friendliness and warmth of the current homeowners. There was a rather large group of actual condo owners at this time and they were a complaining bunch. As a result of these actions I describe two different couples are not bringing their families next year. One couple had intended to rent three condos. That is a lot of business to lose. It is a shame to see a place once so warm and welcoming lose its appeal because of a bunch of grouchy retirees.
I say all this with much Aloha for Hale Mahina.
This condo is a perfect location for us. Ocean front!!
The inside of the condo has been updated. It is clean and has been well maintained.
The condo is well stocked with what you would need.
Beth is easy to communicate with.
I highly recommend staying here.
Property was better than advertised! They have thought of everything, we have never been to a better equipped rental. The condo was immaculately clean and the view from the lanai was spectacular. We were treated to rainbows over Molokai, the sound of ocean waves crashing outside our door every night and too many sea turtles cruising the shore to count.
Beth was very helpful with communications and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.
Thank you for a great stay! Mahalo!!!
This place was amazing. Clean had everything we needed for our stay. Beth was amazing with accommodating us when flights were cancelled. Would definitely rent again for another vacation
Beth's place is just exactly as described and pictured. The elevator and flooring had me thinking "Oh no, this is not good". so that part could really use some TLC. When we opened the door and walked in, it was awesome!! Clean, updated, the view and beach front is exactly what you want for a relaxing vacation. I would have been happy to just stay there and only do a few store runs and a little sight seeing. After all that's why we went there. Beth has everything you can imagine and need in the complete condo. Awesome place!!
Amazing property!! Exactly like the description. The condo was very clean and the amenities are top notch. I really appreciate that there were beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and more. The view is amazing. I can’t think of one bad thing about this place!!
The owners are very easy to communicate with and the check in process was easy!
I loved that there was access to the pool and beach. The only sad part was that we had to go home.
I highly recommend this condo. Such a hidden gem!!

This is the most incredible place! We had the time of our life. All Beth’s recommendations were amazing- the snorkel store, farmers market and deli, the suggested beaches, and walks. All in, this was our best family vacation ever! Many thanks for John and Beth’s hospitality and for offering your place so we can make such amazing memories.

Very peaceful private beach within close driving distance to many restaurants and sightseeing attractions. Owner of property was very easy to work with.

We were satisfied with the property, and it was clean and the owners were very responsive. But in no way should this be described as a penthouse, or a premium property. The location is excellent! Right on the ocean, and located in the part of Maui that is the best place to stay, IMO. The condo was clean and well stocked. The owners go to great lengths to make sure guests have the extras needed to enjoy their vacation. In all, our experience was very good.
However, I do think it is important to give reasonable and accurate reviews, and there are several reasons why I don’t consider this premium. First, this is an older unit with older appliances and furnishings. The downstairs bedroom mattress was, IMO, FAR too soft. I slept upstairs and the mattress was acceptable, but not premium in any way. The unit has no AC, which is disclosed. Not a problem for us in early May, and I suspect it’s fine year round. But it can get a little warm. The breeze is amazing, and sleeping to the sounds of the ocean was wonderful.
The complex only allows smoking in the parking lot. There are a few chairs there, but it seems that they could arrange the far North part of the beach to allow guests to enjoy a cigar there in the evening. Could be a pro or a con, depending on the individual.
Overall our stay was nice, and I would recommend the unit for most folks. But I would think most would agree that the only thing premium is the location, and the thoughtfulness and attention given by owner

This property was spacious, updated, well-located and had everything you need. Whale-watching right from the lanai on the top level was amazing. Of course we did adventure, but you don’t even really have to go anywhere to enjoy your holiday from Hale Mahina. Just perfect! Mahalo!

We had a wonderful stay in Maui at this condo. Everything was as advertised in the listing. The beach and pool/hot tub area is great. Small and personable, everyone was friendly. Saw lots of whales. The condo had little extras in case you forgot something, like bandaids:)
