Excellent location, view and grounds.

The view was amazing and you cannot get any closer to the ocean! The condo was great and as described/pictured. The resort is small, which makes it quiet. My only critique for the condo itself is that there is only one key that works for the condo and the pool that you also have to use to get out of the pool area and it would be nice if there were 2. There is no AC in the unit…we were there in November and just used the 2 box fans and the standing fan and kept the windows open all the time and it was fine. The only downside to the facility was that there is a group of people that either live there full time or are condo owners that are there a lot that make you feel like they are “watching” you. The condo management was very easy to work with and communicated prior to the trip about a small issue that ended up not being an issue for us at all!

We had a good stay overall, with some great strengths and a few drawbacks.The unit is wonderfully quiet — we heard almost no people noise, even with the windows open 24/7. They did need to stay open because the space heats up quickly without airflow, but with the breeze it was comfortable.The location is fantastic: close to restaurants, shops, and excursions. Pool and beach access are lovely, with lounge chairs, picnic tables, and BBQs. There’s a sign asking guests to go shoeless, but barefoot soles turned black quickly. We also kept finding mystery sand in the loft — possibly termite frass. A couple rugs would help with comfort and cleanliness.Bedding is all polyester/microfiber. We had an odd exchange with the owner insisting the sheets were a cotton blend despite the polyester label. Replacement sheets were also polyester, so we gave up. If you prefer cotton, bring your own.The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and cookware. Consumables seem to be cleared between guests, so bring cooking oil and basics. There was salt, pepper, a few spices, chocolates, and a small bag of coffee.Soaps and detergents are provided, but the laundry detergent is extremely scented and all linens/towels carried the smell. We bought unscented detergent. Washer/dryer work well for small loads.The unit is well maintained with a vintage 1980s Hawaii vibe. Comfortable king bed, decent seating for two, plus four Tommy Bahama chairs and a boogie board.

This condo has one of the best equipped kitchens we’ve ever stayed in. It was clean, comfortable and there is no better location right on the water. Only one comment…. There should be 2 door/pool keys especially in a 2 bedroom. Thank you and we will be back.

The great things: view, location to activities, cleanliness, responsiveness from hosts, cooking equipment/utensils, pool/hot tub area, beach accessories.Not so great things: road noise from the second bedroom that overlooks the parking lot: constant nightly and incredibly loud at times, lots of local looking cars blasting music and revving motorcycles way too loud. Patio chairs don’t match advertisement picture, and are unstable, 1 is broken. 1 of the beach chairs is broken. Only 2 kitchen towels in the whole place, for people who cook a lot and are there for several days, this was annoying. There was only 1 standard size coffee cup in the whole place. The rest were small teacup size. There is very little “private beach” as advertised and pictured, and the waves are not safe for kids. Grassy area is large, but has quite the rocky drop off to the small amount of beach below, with no fence. Not great for small children to be able to run around. I ultimately had picked this place for the “private beach.” Condo is quite a bit smaller than pictures make it seem, no square footage listed on ad. Lastly I had reached out to the host asking if they have a pack n play to which they told me no. I spent 100 on a pack n play rental only to get to the condo and find 2 pack n plays in the closets. Overall the condo was good and I was happy to be in Hawaii. But there were a few quirks about the place that I unfortunately feel made it not quite worth the amount of money paid.

A view that cannot be beat.Ocean sounds throughout the day/nightClean comfortable accommodations.Incredible sunrise & sunsetsWatching turtles & manta rays from the grassy area was wonderful. You could even swim with them!While there was no AC, the fans helped circulate the flow of air, and kept it comfortable for sleeping.

We absolutely loved our time here! The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed. Mornings on the balcony overlooking the ocean was our favorite thing. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and cooler let us explore the whole island with everything we needed. It was just overall the best experience!

Unit was clean and well appointed. Needs another TV in one of bedrooms. There was a temporary manager whi was very nice, kept grounds clean but in 11 days never once vacuumed elevator which has rug floor and was filty. Know this isnt VRBO problem but first thing you see in building was not appealing. This was our 7th time to Hale Mahina so we jnew this wasnt representing of building.

Our second time staying in this area. Loved this property. Conveniently located to many beaches, shops and restaurants. Very clean, beautifully decorated, well equipped kitchen. Having the washer and dryer was a bonus as we didn’t have to pack extra. The beach on the property wasn’t the easiest to access but that might just be the time of year. We will stay here again!

The location allowed us to watch the turtles move through from the balcony. Amazing views. The beach in front was washed away due to the storm the prior week. We were able to utilize the beach next door. My only complaint was no AC. It was warm and the fans were not doing the job.Amazing property.

Perfect for family of 4: parents and 2 teens.Best part is being right on the beach. Full kitchen and BBQ in front of beach makes meal prep easy.Older teen boy getting bigger so roll out sofa not as comfortable as before but not a big complaint.Easy walk to coffee, bakery, general store, snorkel rentals. Excellent communication on part of owner/ manager. Very relaxed environment, no crowds.

The condo is in a great location on the beach in a quiet area. The view is amazing. The condo is very clean and has been updated and decorated nicely. The beds were comfortable. The unit is well stocked with towels, beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, coolers, games and so much more making our stay more enjoyable. We ate dinner many nights on the lanai and could not get enough of the view and ocean sounds. We saw turtles swimming in the water and enjoyed snorkeling right in front of our unit. We were a family of 4 including a 28 year old and a 13 year old and felt we had enough room in the unit and enough privacy. This condo is a great place to stay for a visit in Maui.

Property is exactly as described! The view is amazing. The space was large enough to accommodate our group of 5, yet cozy enough to come together.The showers were amazing, beds comfortable and the view is insane. My family and I enjoyed the pool and private beach every day...and we were able to snorkel with the turtles. Parking was always available, and the property is not overcrowded.Randy was very responsive and allowed us to check in early. Grounds are well kept and the property manager kept the pool cleaned.Go ahead and click the Book Now button!

Great location, beautiful view of back of Molokai. The unit was great. Had everything we needed for our stay. Just one complaint, the onsite property managers does kill the vibe. That's enough for us not to come back to this particular property. Nothing against Jim or Lorna. Their unit was great but the property managers on site killed the vibe.

![Hale Mahina Beach Resort A-402]()
We’ve stayed at the Hale Mahina Beach Resort in different units several times over the past 7 years and always had a great experience—until this most recent trip. Sadly, it no longer feels like the welcoming, family-friendly place we used to love.The condo itself was just as described—clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. But the overall atmosphere was uncomfortable due to the way we were treated by the property manager. Despite being respectful and considerate, we were repeatedly singled out. Any noise above a quiet conversation seemed to be an issue. The “no one under 14 in the spa” rule was strictly enforced—even when kids were simply sitting quietly with parents—which felt unnecessarily harsh for a vacation property advertised as family-friendly.To make matters worse, there’s a security camera pointed directly at the spa that appears to be used for enforcement. It felt invasive. As a paying guest, I expect to feel welcomed and able to enjoy the amenities—not constantly monitored and policed.At one point, we were approached about noise that wasn’t even coming from us. The family who was making noise wasn’t being disrespectful or disruptive—just kids being kids. When we calmly explained that, the property manager didn’t address the actual group responsible. He only became apologetic after seeing how upset my family was and after we pointed out he was mistaken.After just 3 days in to our 8 days reservation, we felt so uncomfortable that we decided to leave early and

Condo was excellent! Great communication. We snorkeled right off the beach in front of the unit. We swam with sea turtles! We saw 7 rainbows one morning right from the lanai. Great sunsets every night. It was truly amazing and would love to come back.

The actual condo is wonderful and has a great location with beautiful scenery. If you have little kids, this may not be the place for you, as the on-site property manager was very difficult and constantly telling our children to be quiet on the pool deck.

I rented 3 units in Hale Mahina to house my family. A friend is an owner there so I knew it must be special. With a sandy beach where you will likely see a turtle resting, and convenient access to experiences that appeal to vacationers, this is a good choice. If you rent more than the penthouse, also get a unit on the 1st floor for easier access to the pool/beach area, but it's ok if you don't. There is an elevator which definitely helps get groceries & luggage up. The view out the wall of windows & from the balcony is absolutely spectacular, whether it's sunsets or rainbows over the azure, clear surf, pure tropic serenity is in front of you.

The location and the oceam view from the living room was amazing. I would definitely return to this unit for that alone. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to prepare meals. Having a washer and dryer, and enough laundry detergent to complete laundry and a few unexpected loads was super helpful. The unit owners were readily available to help with any questions/concerns that came up. We would definitely come back to this unit if we have the chance to.

Just finished a 7 night stay at this property.The condo itself is perfect for a family of 4 (we have two teenagers) and everyone had plenty of room.The beach property is perfect for beach activities. We paddle boarded each morning. There is waves for surfing as well. Snorkeling is amazing. Four turtles joined us daily as we snorkeled and one came up on the beach our last day. Plenty of room on the side of the building for your surf boards and paddle boards.Owners and property manager were real helpful before and during the stay.Highly recommend this property for the condo, location, and beach access.Only drawback was there was a small drop off to get to the beach due to the beach erosion. Not an issue u less you have restrictions preventing you from climbing 3ft.Highly recommend this property.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay very much! Some of the previous reviews made us a little nervous, but our experience was wonderful! The unit itself met all of our needs, beds for everyone, fully equipped kitchen, and the view could not be beat, we enjoyed sunset from the balcony each night! The pool & beach were great as well. We enjoyed how laid back & kind everyone was & enjoyed the proximity to coffee, restaurants, etc. A couple minor things, we could have used more pillows specifically for the extra bed in living room, the toaster does not work well, and it would be very nice to have a screen door on the front door for airflow, but nothing that changed our experience drastically at all. We hope to return to Maui in the future & would love to stay here again. It was pure heaven on earth!

Our group consisted of 4 adults and two children (8-12year old). Property had plenty of space for us all. Bring on the 4th floor we were able to see all the ocean animal pass by with our morning coffees. The semi private beach was amazing and not too busy. The water were perfect we saw and swam with sea turtles every day we stayed. We got to see a Hawaiian monk seal and dolphins. Randy the property owner was super communicative and checked in on us after a few hours after our arrival to make sure everything went smoothly. I would recommend property to anyone.

This condo checked all the boxes for our family. Location right on the beach, plenty of room for 8 adults and a full kitchen. Check-in and check out was a breeze and communication with the owner was great. We loved the beach in front of the condo, watched turtles and bumped into a seal while snorkeling. There are boogie boards, umbrellas and beach chairs to use. We will be coming back to this property. Thank you Randy for sharing your condo with us!!
