This is a perfect unit in a very nice building right on the waterfront. The unit was clean, very comfortable and well appointed. There was even a blender to make smoothies. Great view of the beach and the ocean. The lobby, barbecue and parking were spacious, clean and easy to use. Great location and good access to shops and restaurants. We’ll be coming back for sure!
Beautiful property, wonderful views of the ocean, and good location for nearby beaches. Welcoming gift basket was a nice touch.
Pros: Beautiful view of ocean and best part of the condo. Could see whale spouts from balcony. Loungers and table/chairs on balcony, beach chairs and towels were appreciated. Bed is comfortable. Basic spices and most needed kitchenware available. Owner was very responsive. Grounds were well kept and reception area was nice. General store and snorkel rental very close by.
Cons: Bugs. On arrival, though condo had been recently sprayed (according to document in kitchen), we put all food in fridge/freezer including dish sponge because of tiny ants on walls and surfaces and kept sink empty. No worries there. However, next morning, roaches were in the sink. Kept dishes in cabinet or dishwasher (clean) to try to avoid, but saw multiple roaches inside the dishwasher on the clean/washed dishes. (This was our 3rd stay on Maui + many other Hawaiian island visits so not new to tropical bugs, but never this problem.) Beach does not look like pics. Updated pics showing beach erosion and sand bags would be helpful to know what to expect. No AC-we knew going in and lots of fans were available, but it was not comfortable sleeping for us. There was no welcome gift as pictured. Living area furniture was ok, but not very comfortable. Although owner was very responsive, property manager was not. Oven Bake feature doesn’t work and it took 2 hrs for a response on our arrival evening which should have been the #1 night to anticipate potential questions/issues. (Later communications also delayed.)
We hadn't been to Maui for a long time. Stayed at Valley Isle for our honeymoon and went back for our 30th wedding anniversary, and it didn't disappoint. Valley Isle is still and nice and clean, quaint place. Handy that there are little stores near by, a outdoor place for drinks (happy hour) a short walk down the beach. Our room was nice, it had a lot of things available, beach chairs, sand buckets, snorkels, I noticed in the closet there was even stuff if you had little ones. The room was clean and had plenty of kitchen type stuff! We never went without what we needed! We ate in almost every night. There is a grocery store about 5 to 10 minutes away by car on either side. The beach was a bit smaller than when I was there 30 years ago, but so was I (hahah) but still plenty of beach to play on, really fun body surfing waves! The pool is very nice, and quaint. We will go back, hopefully it won't take us 30 more years.
Very comfortable, beautiful view and outfitted with anything you would need for your vacation
Great view from the balcony and living room
Overall, we enjoyed our stay stay. The condo was perfect for two- clean, right on the beach and close to everything we wanted to do in Maui. We loved the views as well as walkable neighborhood (coffee shop and brewery close by as well as several restaurants) and in unit laundry and parking. Several local treats were left for us upon arrival which was also a nice surprise.
The check in process - I was instructed to contact the property manager earlier in the week prior to check in which I did and received no response back. Instead of the code to the unit being sent via the Vrbo app on the day of check in - I had to contact the property manager again via personal cell. Again no response - for over an hour after our check in time. When she was able to be reached - she was unapologetic and rude saying I should of contacted her earlier in the week…. Which I did and let her know what time our flight would be landing. Not what anyone wants to encounter after 12 hours of travel and starting off an anticipated vacation.
The owner of the unit was apologetic and offered us late check out which was appreciated.
Very nice location and beautiful view of the ocean. The condo was clean and had all of the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay.
A beautiful view in a great location. Everything we had hoped for and more. We were very happy to find beach chairs ' boogie boards, and even snorkel gear. A beautiful beach and simple parking. We'll be back!
We had a great time in this beautiful condo with truly amazing views. The pics from the website just don't compare!
The location was great and the beach was very nice perfect for paddle boarding or surfing.
We were a little concerned about not having air conditioning but we didnt miss it at all. The trade winds kept the whole condo very comfortable and the window fan in the bedroom kept it very cool.
We will definitely stay here again. Thank you Anabel and Hallie for the perfect stay!
We had a great time staying at Anabel's condo. The view was spectacular and so was the location.
We were able to rent a stand up board right at the beach and we used the snorkeling equipment at the condo. We could have rented at the Boss Frogs rental right across the street but decided to wash and use it.
Even though there is no air conditioning we were pleasantly surprised how the breezes from the ocean kept it very comfotable and there were plenty of fans to use if we needed them.
There was some construction going on during the day but it didn't bother us at all.
I will definitely stay here again.
