Beautiful condo with floor to ceiling views of the ocean where we frequently saw whales and turtles. The beach was very nice, but the area overall is mostly resorts, you have to pay to park in hotel garages when visiting any of the nearby beaches. Unfortunately the property management team at Vacasa put a damper on our experience. When we checked in we learned there was planned electrical work in the building and we would be without electricity, wifi and air conditioning throughout most of the next day. We booked this as a location to work remotely from, so the lack of wifi was an issue. We reached out to Vacasa for help and they were absent and dismissive. They never responded to emails, took days to respond to messages, and when they finally did respond they just said it was “out of our control and there isn’t much we could have done.” I ended up working from my rental car in a Starbucks parking lot. When the electricity came back we texted and messaged Vacasa asking about late checkout, they didn’t respond to the request for 48 hours, after we had already checked out.

The unit was perfect. The views of the ocean and location were amazing.

We had a great stay at the Mahana! The location was phenomenal (best snorkeling ever right outside our door), close to many restaurants, and we could see turtle after turtle from our balcony. Highly recommended!

Furniture was dated and worn but clean. Well stocked kitchen but oven did not work and this was a big problem for our plans to cook. Pool and spa were wonderful.

Very pleased with our stay, the condo was everything advertised and more. Very clean, roomy, and beautiful views! If we ever return to Maui will definitely stay here again!

Under normal circumstances, I’m sure this room is exceptional! We arrived at a time when the AC system was being upgraded or fixed. We were warned ahead of time, and we figured we would be fine, but stepping into the unit was very, very hot!! The temp read 96 degrees inside. The unit did have 2 fans and a swamp cooler?? One of those that you added water to, but this cooler seemed old. I had trouble figuring out how to use it. We ran into a neighbor who said she’s a 20 year old owner and she suggested we leave the front door open and let the air flow through. That worked great!! It cooled off the unit better than the little cooler provided. She also told us it was safe. We stayed in 618, which was at the end of the hall…. So we didn’t have to worry about anyone walking by. I wish we had been told about this alternative way to cool the unit from the beginning. That’s all it needed. Other than that, Vacasa/ The Owners refunded me a bit back on my stay for the inconvenience, and that was appreciated! I would definitely recommend this unit for a stay! The view is exceptional!! I liked that the beach below was never too crowded. We went walking toward the hotel/resort areas and the amount of people on those beaches was outrageous! I was thankful for our area that was less populated and had plenty of room on the beach to swim, lounge & sit without much disturbance. And it wasn’t loud. The food trucks are nearby, The Times grocery store is right across the street. It’s a great area.

Mahana is a great resort for those looking for some peace and quiet. Mahana is right on the rim of all the fun the beach boardwalk offers. The pool is smaller but very well maintained and the reef along the resort is awesome. You can see turtles everyday come and go with the tides. We would definitely stay again.

The property itself is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! We were not told at time of booking about construction, only after the fact. Were assured there would be portable AC units sufficient to cool the condo. It did not! The room was 85-83 both nights we managed to make it! In constant contact with booking firm. Not happy at all about arrangements! Entirely unacceptable for the money paid for accommodations. One person from management company did not even respond/answer call! Broken chair on balcony. Refrigrerator filters (water and ice) needed to be replaced. Were told we would be moved to another unit with AC. Given 3 choices. Told the other one had been checked and had working AC. It did not even have AC. Long story...but to make it short, we were given a complete refund - after staying 2 nights at the first unit, in an 85 degree room, moving everything to another unit that did not even have AC, then finding and booking our own reservations at another location. Not something you want to do after saving, planning, and looking forward to a relaxing, peaceful, vacation of a lifetime in Maui! First and last time to book any reservations with Vacasa. Have used VRBO many times, with success. But never again with Vacasa!

My daughter and I decided to go on a “girls” vacation and we sure picked the perfect location. The condo was perfect in every way- it was clean and included everything that we needed for the week. The location is ideal and close to everything. The ocean view is spectacular, it’s mesmerizing to just relax and take it all in. Highly recommend this beautiful rental.

The house was very clean and had some great interiors. The sea views from the apartment are the best you could get anywhere. The service was prompt and Vacasa maintained good communication keeping us up to date.

Fabulous condo on the ocean. Well stocked and very clean. Had everything we could possibly need to prepare breakfast daily and have afternoon cocktails overlooking the ocean. First day, the coffee maker was not working and within hours we had a brand new replacement. Amazing customer service. Unfortunately, A/C did not work for the entire stay and I expect Vacasa or the homeowner will compensate us for this.
Location was great, direct ocean front. Washer/Dryer in unit as well as laundry detergent was a major plus!

The view, the view, the view!!!!❤️
What a beautiful view with so many whales, turtles and surfers🐋🐢🌊 🏄♂️
We loved that the bedroom had the same view and also access to the balcony. We loved this property!! It was absolutely perfect for two people. They supplied beach chairs and umbrellas which was super great! You can walk the beach in both directions or walk to restaurants via the beach or boardwalk that is conveniently located just off the parking area. Having a washer and dryer was another added bonus. We look forward to being able to stay at this property again!!!

Unit was well furnished and clean. Only complaint is that MB sun screen was broken in the down position. I called Vacasa upon checkin to request the screen’s repair, and it wasn’t during our 5 day stay. I had to rig a temporary solution to keep the screen up.
