We stayed for the easy access to the Maui Oceanfront half marathon start line.The harbor for whale watch and snorkel excursions is just a short walk with shops and restaurants. Beautiful views from this 2nd floor unit, whale spouts! *Be aware no central AC, just window unit in living room. 2nd floor end unit, we saw whale spouts!
Loved this condo. Cozy and quiet. Comfortable bed and furniture. Nice curtains to keep the morning heat out. A/c worked well. Kitchen was nicely stocked. Enough closet space and drawers so you can put your clothes away and not live out of your suitcase. TV is a nice size. The ocean view is amazing. The owner was very responsive to any issues. The on-site property manager, Tom, is terrific. Hope to stay here again soon!!
Truly close to everything. We traveled most of the island during our week stay. This condo is centrally located and allowed short or not as long drives to our destinations around Maui. The host was very easy to contact and work with on any questions we had. The trade winds were in full force, so a towel next to the front door helped with the howling noise. The beach is a half mile from the condo and walkable. Snorkeling at Haycraft Beach (nearest beach) is great to get reacquainted and then head to your better spots on Maui.
This beautiful condo has the most extraordinary view of the ocean from the living room and balcony - we watched whales EVERY DAY ALL DAY!!! And the turtles came right onto the beach every evening. Surreal!! The condo was PERFECT and immaculate. It is stocked with everything you need to live there. The description was not lying about the breeze. We never needed the air conditioning. The next time we go to Maui I'll plan ahead far enough to get this same condo. Our friends had a nice place but nothing like this one. It is updated, bright, comfortable and so very clean. (It's worth mentioning twice how clean this place is. I'm really picky and found it to be perfect. The location is awesome too - a couple of great restaurants are within walking distance as are nice shops, a pub, ice cream, and a long beautiful un-crowded beach. Angela was so very helpful as we got ready to travel. If I could I'd give this place 10 stars!!
Central location to get to Kihei, Lahaina, Paia. If you want to do a boat excursion you are right in Maalaea harbor. The unit was perfectly furnished and very private.
Quiet, great pool and spa area, constant whale-watching from the balcony...what more would you want? Location is perfect for those who want to take cruises, and it's just a short drive to Kihei where you can find tons of great places to eat. Wonderful communication from the owner. Thanks for a great first trip to Maui!
Our stay was exactly what the listing indicated. We watched several whales (mother and calves) frolic in the bay from the balcony. If you are looking for a quiet and community like setting, this is your spot.
This was just so perfect. I needed some alone time to grieve. This was wonderful. Walked the beach. Sunbathing with turtles. Spread my sons ashes to swim with the turtles. So surreal. Thank you
My husband and I stayed for the second half of our honeymoon. The condo was super clean, the host was quickly responsive, and it was a great stay!
It was the perfect size and had everything we needed for a couple days. A little small for a long stay, but was perfect for us!
The thing that got me the most was the turtles that beached at night, but also how much we could watch them during the day eating off the rocks along the condo shore! Highlight of our trip was watching them come up for sleep. There wasn’t much beachfront if you’re a beach person BUT Sugar Beach was a block down the road. It’s the end of the beach so it was super quiet with not a ton of people around, and more turtle watching.
The only thing I’d caution is the wind sounded like it created a wind tunnel so there was noise at night time. It doesn’t bother me much or my husband, but a heads up to light sleepers.
Overall for us, it was perfect!
We enjoyed our stay here. Short walk to a nice sand beach (sugar beach). We were honored to swim with many turtles there. Gail was very helpful and always responded to any questions I had. Would recommend going to the aquarium (ocean center) that was close by. Thank you for having a cooler, beach chairs, and an umbrella at the condo. They came in handy. Had a fabulous dinner at the restaurant in the shopping center near the aquarium.
This was a great condo. Very centrally located and its stocked with everything that you need for a great Hawaiian vacation. Gail was fabulous with her information. I would definitely stay again.
We absolutely loved our stay! The location was perfect for us and our schedule of activities. It was clean, well thought out and had everything we needed. The patio was delightful to just sit on and watch the ocean. Every morning, we would sit and enjoy our breakfast there. Host communication was great. Check-in was easy. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks again!
The condo was perfect for my husband and myself. The pictures and description match up to exactly what you will be receiving with your stay. It was very clean and stocked up well with all the essentials one might need to cook with. The view is outstanding. I highly recommend for two people.
We had a wonderful stay here and had a very great experience with the hosts!
Gail was always quick to respond to any questions I had, was organized with details of our stay, and had many things that made our stay fe effortless. We really appreciated her having beach chairs, coolers, and boogie boards.
We would rent from them again and would recommend them to our friends and family!
Loved staying here!! Great central location that allowed us to visit more coastal cities and access the road to Hana and national park easily as well! The condo is great and that view started my mornings off perfectly the entire stay!! Highly recommend!!
Had a wonderful relaxing time here! The place is as described and had everything we needed during the stay. There is a beach, 4min walk away and we enjoyed watching the gorgeous sunrises everyday.
The condo was clean and as advertised. The view from the lanai was amazing. We spent mornings and evenings there. Don’t be afraid of the air conditioner being on a timer. Maui conserves electricity and this is a way to do it. You can turn it back on anytime. We left the screened windows and screened patio door open and it was nice and cool overnight. Shower was good! Bed was comfy. Would recommend!
The condo has everything you need and is decorated beautifully. Only two negatives that I have which did not concern me that much but might someone else. The airport is fairly close and the condo is in the flight path. It is not that noticeable in the day but at night it may interfere with sleep. The other thing that may concern someone is that the way the coastline comes in at this location you are blocked from being able to see the sunset. We stayed in a condo the week before staying at this location that we were able to the sunsets which was very nice. But this condo was much nicer. It would be hard to find a nicer condo at this price point. A beautiful beach is a short walk although we preferred to drive rather than having to carry chairs and things.
