This is one of those rare properties that is much better than the photos in the listing. It is a 2 level loft style with the main bedroom and bathroom upstairs looking down on the rest of the condo. The bedroom with 2 beds is in the back of the main level. When you walk in, it feels like everything has been remodeled and freshly decorated. The flooring looks brand new. We had plenty of space to spread out and having 2 bathrooms is a luxury. My only quibble was that the upstairs shower has overly restricted water flow. The downstairs shower has a strong spray. The A/C worked fine for us when we needed it. This is the smallest and nicest of the condo complexes in Maalaea. It has direct access to a 2 mile long section of white sand beach that is protected from development. The beach park next door can occasionally be noisy, but during our stay in April the park was was not very busy. We already miss being there.

I was originally a little apprehensive to book this unit since the last review was from 2023, but I’m glad I did! It’s exactly as described. Actually, I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It was probably the cleanest VRBO I have rented. The water pressure is adequate. The beds were a little firm but comfortable. The a/c did well at cooling off the living room. The twin room does get hot but with strategic fan placement, us Midwesterners didn’t melt. We had the loft fan running every night and it was quiet. We used a couple of the chairs, which were in good condition, and the soft sided medium sized cooler. We were on the beach or in the ocean right by the condo almost every day and it was great for wave jumping or just standing and taking it in. Sunrises did not disappoint. We liked that the location of this unit is in a sleepy area of the island, so it’s nice and quiet yet easy to get out and see the island. We did have to plan a little bit more for meals but again, it’s a quiet area! I didn’t hear any of the neighbors more than a handful of times during the day. Sure, the park was a little busy on Saturday/Sunday but it wasn’t annoying. Someone is camped out or maybe living in the park; however, they were nice and unobtrusive. We never felt unsafe. We had a wonderful time and I would stay here again.

The property was perfect! It was centrally located to on the island. The condo was cozy and quite. The pool was an added bonus for the times we weren't playing in the ocean. I will definitely be staying here again.

This property is in Maalaea, which is centrally located coming from the airport. There isn't much as far as restaurants in the area like there is in Kihei or Lahaina. It is near a beach that is okay and the lanai does face the ocean. The Maui Ocean Center is nearby and the harbor for departure of whale tours.
The condo itself is okay. The carpet is old and very dated. Having the master bedroom on the second floor isn't great if you have trouble climbing stairs. The fan in the upstairs loft squeaks and is annoying if left on all night. When all the lights are out, the condo is very dark. We had to leave the light on the microwave on so we could see where we were going at night. Some night lights would have been nice. The fact it is air conditioned was welcomed.
The upstairs queen bed was comfortable. Not sure about the other two twin beds.
The separate laundry was not the best. You have to pay through an app and it charges fees to upload money to start the machines.
The condo complex it is located in is small compared to others in the area. It is located next door to a public parking lot for the beach.

We had a good time in Maui. Beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. The park next to the condo was a bit noisy particularly on the weekend if you wanted to keep the balcony door open. The room with the 2 twin beds is a bit warm even with AC. Great location, easy access to all. Thank you

We were delighted with our visit. The condo was well-maintained and had everything we needed. The view is the bay, from either living room or lanai. The quiet beach is right there, ready for sunrise or sunset walks. Some hints: The whole unit is on the second floor, and one bedroom and bath inside are upstairs in a loft. Paying for the laundry room is through an app, not with coins. The neighborhood is central, with its own small shopping center and short drives to either Kihei or Lahaina for more restaurants. Locally, we particularly enjoyed Johnny Heist's Pizza. Beware: Some local businesses are no longer open, even among those in the condo information book.

We had everything we needed. The unit is great and nicely decorated. The pool and BBQ area was super. The beach wasn’t great as it goes in too steep for toddlers and also there were many rocks and big waves. The central laundry room was very busy and the dryers didn’t work well. Very noisy in the mornings with people camping at the beach and lawn maintenance at 7 am.

It was perfect! This was our first time to Hawaii and it could not have been more perfect. We celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary while in Hawaii. We love the house and the location. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. I would have preferred the washer and dryer be in the home but we made it work. Thank you Lynn for sharing your wonderful home. WE will be back!!!
