We couldn’t have been happier.. the property was lovely, the rental had everything and more for our family, and our hosts were friendly and helpful. We traveled all over the island in search of the best snorkeling and it turned out to be right at the beach of the property. Sea turtles and rainbows?! Amazing!
We are a family of 7(grandmother, parents and 4 teens/young adults). This condo was perfect for us. Clean, beautifully decorated, the beds were so comfortable I wish I had them at home. My husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom, my mother in law the 2nd bedroom and the four siblings bunked together in the loft upstairs & everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was updated & stocked with everything we needed. Hosts had a gift of delicious local coffee & cookies waiting for us,too. But the view- you just can’t beat the view from the lanai- absolutely gorgeous!!!! The breeze from the trade winds kept us perfectly comfortable and the sound of the waves was so soothing! A sunset view over the ocean framed by palm trees every night! I LOVED watching the whales from the lanai as well- we saw them on hikes and a whale watch/snorkeling trip, but not like the full breaches we saw from the lanai! Another of our absolute favorite experiences of the trip took place right there when we walked to the little beach next door and saw the sea turtles, and even swam with them. Absolutely once in a lifetime amazing! The pool and hot tub were sparkling and central to the complex & we all enjoyed hopping in after a day of exploring. Most wonderful of all was how helpful Dan was with his spot-on recommendations for things to do and places to eat, and how quickly he responded before and during our trip. He was so friendly and kind, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great stay. Mahalo!
Great location for whale watching and walking to some stores/restaurants. Unit has snorkel and misc beach things, board games, and on site washer/dryer.
Property is great for sleeping and each having own bath. Kitchen a bit small for group as well as seating at dining table and living room area. Had a few days of rain which kept us indoors and got a bit cramped. Location is good for that side of island and easy access to main roads.
This condo was the nicest on the property and had a million dollar view! This was a family trip with our kids and grand daughter and the place was perfect for us! Lovely location, very responsive host and the condo had everything we needed. Beautiful breezes that kept us comfortable throughout our stay and sitting in the swinging chairs on the lanai while listening to the ocean waves was a slice of heaven. Watching the turtles in front of the property in the early morning was an added bonus! Dan was very responsive and answered any questions we had within minutes. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and places to go. The pool and hot tub were delightful and kept clean throughout our stay. Thank you Dan and Stephanie! We will definitely be back!!
First off Dan is an AMAZING property owner, he's incredibly responsive and takes action immediately. We encountered a few issues during our stay and Dan addressed all of the issues quickly, efficiently and effectively, cannot say enough about Dan, he is awesome.
The property did fall a little short in my expectations due to those issues which were all mostly plumbing related. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. There's an oddity in the electrical wiring where the ceiling fan in the main television room can only stay on when the light above the kitchen table is on so leaving the ceiling fan overnight is only possible if the light bulbs are disconnected. The upstairs loft area is very nice, the upstairs bathroom does need work, the tiles in the tub are older and a renovation would be necessary soon. The complex is nice, views from the balcony did see whales and turtles which was great! Since it was during Christmas and New Years there were lots of families in the complex. Also there is NO air conditioning in the condo (very typical for Maui) since there was no air conditioning the windows need to be open all the time. The air flow is very comfortable; however; the noise level from the adjacent condos is amplified with crying children, alarms going off at very early hours (4:00 am). There nearest "nice" beach is definitely a car ride away. Dan does provide all the necessary beach equipment and then some! In fact the condo has just about anything anyone could for including games and great kitchen supplies.
Overall our stay was very good once we got past the issue and this was due to Dan's attentiveness and care. If you're looking for a comfortable condo with a great owner this is your place, thanks again Dan!
Having use of rental car at property was convenient. We enjoyed the location closer to North shore away from the resorts and traffic, yet was an easy drive to Front St. The 3 bedroom set up worked for our family of 5. and the views were stunning. Great vacation, would return again
Polynesian Shores met the needs of our family of 6. There were 3 full baths and a bed for everyone. The pool was nice and never too crowded. The view was stunning. We were very warm because there was no air conditioning and we were up at the crack of dawn every day because the windows and blinds needed to stay open for the breeze. Birds were loud, neighbors were loud and the sun was bright! Maui and was beautiful and I hope to return soon.
I really liked Dan. He was very helpful and very prompt to answer any questions. The property is in a good location. I loved being on the water. I thought the beach area was going to be larger with more sand.
I was disappointed that the property did not have air conditioning. It was totally my fault because I never even thought to ask or look to see if there was air conditioning. It was hot! We kept all the windows and doors open to get the breeze but I’m use to air conditioning when I sleep. I was uncomfortable leaving the front door open at night because you are literally on top of your neighbor- walls are paper thin.
The master bedroom faces the parking lot and the garbage trucks start really early(6am) in the morning. It was loud in the morning because of the parking lot noise.
I didn’t want to say anything negative but I just want the next family to know what they are renting. Good location, awesome management., plenty of space for a family, no air conditioning, carpet, drive to a real beach and very close to neighbors.
As a family of seven (2 couples and 3 kids)—there were three bedrooms and bathrooms—and the loft had beds for the 3 girls. We were very pleased with the arrangement. The condo overlooks the pool so we could monitor our teen girls at the pool. A wonderful experience for all was when we took a path to a ladder into the ocean where we could swim with the huge sea turtles—thrilling! A lovely tropical setting! The only drawbacks were 1) the spiral staircase to the loft that two of us bumped our heads on (we later hung a towel on it) and 2) we had to leave and go home.
Beautiful property and grounds, we can’t wait to come back.
