Beautiful condo with ocean view

We had a lovely vacation in this cute condo. The view is stunning and we saw whales jumping in the distance. You also have a view of the sunset over the ocean and two nearby islands. There were plenty of towels and beach supplies. The neighborhood is nice and it is a good location. There isn’t an air conditioner but in February we were comfortable with the air flow from the lanai and they have ceiling fans and a stand fan. It might get a little warm in the summer though, not sure. The hosts provided helpful suggestions and added a very personable and welcoming touch with their Aloha spirit and good communication. Hope to stay here again!

“No issues” vacation

The best vacation is a “no issues” vacation. From beginning to end, this was a relaxing and wonderful choice. We would do it again next week, but “reality” is calling us home.

Captivating Ocean Views

We had a nice time staying in West Maui for 6 nights. This condo has amazing views of the ocean and one of our days we even saw whales fairly close by (from the lanai)! The lanai is a wonderful place to watch the waves day and night. There is also a beautiful pool and ocean viewing platform. The condo is beautifully decorated and the room divider between bedroom and living corridors is really helpful. The owner Kim and property manager Michelle are both fast at communicating if you need any help. This condo is close to many wonderful beaches and restaurants.

Perfect home base

Our rental was the perfect space for us during our stay in Maui. The views were incredible, every morning we watched the whales from the patio. The amenities were great-Kim and Scott provide all of the extras like beach gear, coolers, and snorkel equipment. The bed was comfortable and we had to come home and buy a sound machine to replicate the sound of the waves that put us to sleep every night. The unit is also close enough to walk to lots of places including a beach, restaurants and a grocery store. We would 100% stay here again.

Incredible stay

Trip of a lifetime for us and this condo couldn’t have been more perfect! It went above and beyond – super clean, killer views, and cozy-chic! Check-in was a breeze, tons of parking, and the place was well-kept. Bonus points for having snorkeling gear, cooler, and beach chairs – made our beach days even more awesome. Perfect location to check out different beaches or grab a bite to eat, but honestly the kitchen had everything for homemade meals too. Kim and Scott are fantastic hosts- easy communication, personable, and kind. We will definitely be back. Totally recommend it!

Awesome spot.

The condo was clean, with a great view. The host provided a lot of great info that made our stay very enjoyable. The one way we would have been more comfortable is if the unit had AC. After the first day of having the condo windows open and the fans on it was not bad, but the first night was hot.

Great Time in Maui

Hale Ono Loa #306 was a fantastic home base for our vacation in Maui. The location was great for visiting several beaches and eating great food. Close to the Kaanapali hotels on the beach, Whaler's Village, and Napili Bay in Kapalua. Loved the view of the ocean and the sound of the waves day and night. Highly recommend!

Total Perfection

Their 5-star rating speaks for itself. This place is total perfection. My girlfriend and I were there for a week and were as comfortable as could be. Plenty of space for the two of us, the bed is super comfy and we slept very well. But that balcony/view is something else. We were up every day around 7am and just sat there for an hour or so having coffee and taking it all in (we were able to see turtles from the complex as well). Kim was also amazing by being very communicative from the time we booked all the way through checkout. She also gave us a huge list of recommendations which were all great. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Quiet Oceanside retreat with everything we needed

This place was perfect place to unwind at the end of the day of exploring the island. Beautiful views from the lanai of the ocean. As it was during mating season we saw a lot of whales from the property. There are several great take out restaurants, coffee shop, and grocery stores within walking distance. We would recommend this to our friends and family looking for a couples getaway.

Perfect Couples Retreat on Maui's West Side

This Condo had everything we needed for our stay, including a nice ocean view to observe the whales. It is also in our preferred location between Kaanapali and Napili. The Essig's were great hosts. They communicated quickly and well throughout the process. If I had to come up with one thing to pick at it would be that the community pool was a little too cold to comfortably enjoy (February stay). I would recommend it to couples looking for a nice place to enjoy their time on Maui.

Cute, colorful condo in Maui!

Thanks Kim for your great communication and a wonderful stay! Although the weather was (surprisingly) less than ideal, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your cute condo. Beautifully decorated with a colorful, beachy theme, we had everything we needed at our home away from home. We especially loved sitting on the balcony for breakfast and watching the ocean. Highly recommended!

Beautiful condo with a view in heart of Lahaina region!

A perfect condo for a week long stay in Maui. It looked exactly like the photos, was very well kept, and beautifully decorated for a cozy and welcoming stay. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. Being on an upper floor was nice as well to see the ocean from the balcony- and Kim the owner makes it so easy with all of her recommendations of good spots nearby. We found it quiet and respectful in the building which was lovely- and Kim also had equipment stored like umbrellas, boogie boards and beach chairs as well as snorkel gear! We used the chairs/umbrellas on our first day there to snorkel at nearby Kapalua beach (highly reccomend as its great snorkeilng and only 15min away by car). We were too big for the snorkel gear so rented that (as the sizes there were just on the smaller size for a taller lady as I'm a size 10- but still truly appreciated that it was there). There is also a laundromat in the building, and Kim's storage unit also had laundry detergent there(woohoo!). We ended up not needing to do laundry but its $1.50 per wash load (and dryers are also there for same price I think). It only takes quarters so bring those just in case you need! The parking was easy with a rental car as there's a lot at the condo property so you just put your permit that comes with the condo in the unit. There was always parking for us even when it got more crowded as we were there for new years. Really appreciated how thoughtful Kim's communication was and how much she provided in terms of tips of what to do with the condo binder of things to do/ reccos. Many thanks / Mahalo!

Listen to ocean sounds sleeping in the comfiest bed

My husband and I stayed at Kim & Scott's Condo for 5 nights. It is located on lower Honokowai rd with many other 3-4 story condo buildings, north of the busy resort area of Kaanapali and about a 10+ min drive to Lahaina. Free parking lot with a pass provided by the hosts. The condo is Oceanfront (no beach), but does have water entry access if you want to swim/snorkel and Honokowai beach/park is just down the road. There is a Times grocery, abc store, food trucks, and restaurants a few min drive. I would recommend The Fish Market, and Miss Arepa's! There is an elevator, good sized clean pool, bbq's, and sundeck for resident use. Everyone seemed to be fairly quiet and respectful of others in the complex. One man blows a conch shell every night at sunset lol. The unit itself was a code-entry unit (no key to lose) with easy check-in instructions provided. It does not have a/c, and tbh I was worried about this - but there is a great cross-breeze, two ceiling fans, and a dyson floor fan which we used in bed and we were completely fine. There was only one night that it rained that the humidity was high and my husband got hot (I was fine...). Plus, I really enjoyed sleeping with the doors open listening to the waves. The Lanai is large and we sat out there a lot. The kitchen is on the small side but has everything you need to cook/bake, and an Ice machine in the freezer (big deal for a water drinker!). TV is large and has a lot of channels. Bed is king-sized, super comfy mattress and pillows!! Bathroom is "open-concept", but toilet and shower are behind a pocket door (just not soundproof if you get my drift). There are two or so coolers (ice packs), chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear, and noodles for use. Kim was in contact with me periodically and was so kind to be flexible with check-in and check-out time which really helped us. If I HAD to make any suggestions as to improve the experience as a VRBO, the ceiling fans might need to be changed as they are quite low for tall ppl (think chopped hands lol) and make creaky noises at high speeds, limiting the use. The other thing would be a second lounger on the lanai (and smaller counter-height table) - We found ourselves fighting for use of the one lounger. Not game changers. However, we really enjoyed our stay with no issues. Felt right at home...Def would recommend to others! Thanks so much!

About the host

Hosted by Kim & Scott Essig

Host profile image
We are from Eugene, Oregon, and have been coming to Maui for over 30 years to escape the gloomy Oregon winters. We actually stayed next door to Hale Ono Loa most of these years in our timeshare and finally decided it was time to quit playing the “timeshare game” and get a permanent place of our own.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Maui on our first trip. We have seen it grow throughout the years while still maintaining its laid back “shaka” lifestyle. Hale Ono Loa is between Kapalua and Kaanapali – with lots of shopping, restaurants and golf. You have the neighborhood feel with lots of activities close by.

What makes this property unique

We love this neighborhood, and once we decided to buy we knew we wanted to stay close –we could not have gotten any closer than the condominium next door. We had literally looked at Hale Ono Loa for over 29 years. The grounds have always been immaculately groomed and it has seemed like a very serene property.

Honokowai is a great little neighborhood with Pau Bakery, Bad Ass Coffee , Papi's Ohana (they make the best cinnamon rolls EVER!) and many other local stores/restaurants. You are close enough to walk to Times Market as well as catch the boardwalk into Kaanapali, which is a scenic walk or run (whichever you prefer!).
