We never heard from the host. I tried calling and everything and no response. We didn’t know if we had a place to stay. Manager let us in. The unit is very old looking. It needs a complete update. It’s cluttered with lots of weird antiques and tons of chickens. The tv was not much available. No Netflix unless you used your own passwords from home. Not a very comfortable place at all. Strange decorations. I would not rent here again

Hale Mahina is our favorite place to stay on Maui. This condo was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. We can't wait to visit again!!

We took a family trip which included our two sons and two grandchildren to Maui. Randy's unit was in an ideal location in West Maui with sweeping ocean views. It's Prime whale season so we saw no less than 100 whales each day. There were a couple of large sea turtles that made their way up on the private beach each day to sunbathe. The unit had everything we needed. The only two things that were not optimal was the upstairs Loft area was dark and had no airflow or views and the apartment got a little warm during the day the fans really didn't cool off the house. Other than that we had a great stay and we give it five stars

Everything was as advertised! Great view and really enjoyed listening to the ocean from the loft bedroom. We love Hale Mahina, stayed in several units but this was our first time in the 2 bedroom condos. Had a great experience and miss it already!

Friendly hosts. Absolutely everything you might need. Quiet, literally 20 steps from the lanai to the water’s edge. Markets, medical very close. Turtles on the sand. Just right!

This was our 4th biennial visit to Randy's wonderful 4th floor/penthouse condo. Great beachfront location, great views, covered balcony, lots of space (2 bedrooms with doors on the main floor, and a full bedroom/bathroom/hide-a-bed in the loft (which (?unfortunately?) opens to the floor below, so don't expect lots of privacy). The condo has a well-equipped kitchen and enough dishes and glasses, etc. The beach area is spacious and very private for residents. It also has a great pool and hot tub. The location is close to The Times Supermarket which has almost everything one could want/need. The ABC Market/Store, also nearby, has good stuff too. Each evening, an area near Times Supermarket hosts a bunch of food trucks and outdoor eating areas, which is fun (and of course relatively inexpensive). Visiting in December into January, one can watch "up close and personal" (especially with binoculars/monoculars as whales breach/frolic in the marine sanctuary between Lanai, Molokai and Maui. We are already planning another visit in January 2018.

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! Not listed anywhere! Beautiful view - Loved the little private area of beach to share with just the couple of condo’s - disappointed the “extras” that it said would be there were not. Nothing for snorkeling, only 1 beach chair. Fishing pole was there, but was broke, so couldn’t be used. Cleanliness was not there * Light switches don’t stay on * Delta flight federal disabling on plane eight doors on each side that can be used as small slides that can be used for them to avoid what is I wanna send it to lovesome windows don’t seal & screens are ripped so we had some very unwanted bugs (2 cockroaches) For how long we have saved and looked forward to this - it was a huge let down & the only response we got (after I messaged a 2nd time) was we could buy a chair & he would pay us back & sorry for the cockroaches we could take a bottle of his wine in which I replied “we are not wine drinkers” and then he was never to be heard from again …Well the view was beautiful… I would not recommend it, nor am I happy with the amount of money we paid, all the things I read and was told 1st hand from the owners and what we just experienced! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! And beware they have other places in this same condo area (not sure of their conditions)

Micheal’s place was incredible! Waking up to ocean sounds and walking straight out to private beach was very special.

Randy was very communicative before and during our stay. The home was clean, welcoming, and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning looking out at the ocean. We loved feeling like we had our own little beach, wasn't overly crowded ever. Parking was a breeze. Check in/out was easy.

This condo was perfect for our stay and had amazing features! It was very clean, organized, and overall a beautiful place with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the ocean, access to a pool, hot tub, and the beach, and was very peaceful. It perfectly accommodated my family and the host was extremely gracious and welcoming.

The condo is in a good location, with a great view. The beach is a little bit small and the waves were pretty rough, but with close supervision we managed to have a good time with our two little kids. You might get bored with anyone looking for a real beach who is over 6 years old. But we did see sea turtles everyday who came to rest on this tiny and fairly private beach, so that was neat. The condo itself is a nice layout, and our kids loved the pullout beds. It has great potential. However, the place was in SERIOUS need of a deep clean and minor renovations. The bathroom floors and tubs were freaking nasty!! You wouldn’t believe the brown/orange grime all around the toilets and baseboards, and the tubs had nasty caulk and just need to be retiled so badly. The bathroom faucets were also caked with mineral buildup so badly that they sprayed the mirrors anytime you used them. The rest of the condo was fine and sufficiently clean, but the bathrooms were just unacceptable for the amount of money we paid to stay there. The balcony furniture was also uncomfortable. So as far as location, I’d give it 4 stars. As far as cleanliness, 2 stars. This is why I’m averaging my review at 3 stars. I wouldn’t go back.

We had a wonderful time here. Stunning view where we could watch the whales, sea turtles, and seals from the Lanai. Easy access to beach and pool. Basically a private beach as it was not crowded. Thanks for hosting us!

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.

Reviewer Comments:
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!

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.

This place provided great value for its price. As i stated in the guest book, my family and i had a very good time staying here. In the guest book dated 8/5-12 I outlined 4 specific positives and 4 "opportunities for improvement" for your consideration. See the guest book for those details and feel free to call me if you'd like. thank you again for a very good experience
