We thought the place was great. Ocean view and many nearby dining locations. Would definitely stay here again

I can not say enough about this property, owner and property manager. All around one of the best vacation experiences I have ever had. The property is exactly like it is described and pictured - there was plenty of space for me and my husband. The property owner Jim gave us such detailed check in info and the onsite property manager was in contact if we needed anything at any time. The place has an amazing view, is quiet, safe, great parking, perfectly located to everything (short 10min drive to Whalers Village area, easy to highways). Jim gave us such helpful hints about where to go food shopping, restaurants, beach access nearby, snorkeling advice (which we took so thank you), whale watching, literally every suggestion you could need. We took advantage of the beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards that were available. Every morning we had coffee on the lanai and snacks/drinks before dinner. I will miss the view!!! We took day trips to Haleakala, the road to Hana, Iao valley hikes, and snorkeling at black rock!!! Thank you for an amazing stay . I would recommend this property to everyone.

We spent a week here and it was great. Watching sunset from Lanai and having breakfast in the morning with Hawaiian breeze are something unbeatable compare to other vacation clubs.

Reviewer Comments:
Hula Hideaway was amazing, the view was spectacular - we loved watching the turtles from the lanai and listening to the waves from bed. The condo was so clean, comfortable, gorgeous decor, and had everything you could need. The location is great, close to beautiful beaches and away from the bustle of the resorts. Would definitely stay here again and wish we could have stayed longer!

Conveniently located just outside of the busiest areas but still very close to all the spots on the west side.Beautiful sunset views even from INSIDE the rental.Not super private as anyone can walk behind the patio along the coast, and the bed is located right next to the windows near the road. But as long as you're not expecting solitude this place is perfect!

This trip, we didn’t want the hustle and bustle of a hotel or the crowd. We started and ended every day on the lanai. Every day we spotted sea turtles and dolphins. It was a calm, quiet spot that was still close to anything we could need.

Mermaids Palace was wonderful!! This place is a perfect location and beautiful view, we could hear the ocean every night we slept with the door open. This was a great location for everything we did. Foodshopping was about 20 min away and made breakfast some mornings, the condo was well stocked. We at breakfast one morning at the Gazebo down the road and that was amazing food and view!! We loved the road to Hana and the sunset on Haleakalā were perfect. The condo was also stocked with a small cooler for the beach, chairs and an unbrella. What a beautiful memorable place!!

This is an affordable condo, so I wasn't sure what to expect. While not fancy, it has everything you need to have an amazing time. You can watch turtles from the lanai, catch sunsets, and watch rainbows. Want to have a beach day- use the beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and cold bags that are provided. No detail was missed, including one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. You can tell a lot of love was put into this place and I would happily stay here again. Mahalo!

This was ocean front property and absolutely beautiful. Very well appointed to from a beautiful lanai, well supplied kitchen, to beach chairs, cooler, and snorkel equipment. Two pools! Close to restaurants and stores. Walked to many attractions. Would definitely stayhere again! Love, love, loved this place.

The condo was great for us. We enjoyed the availability of the beach items. The bed was very comfortable and the stock of kitchen items was appreciated.

This small condo in Kahala was perfect for the two of us. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, and away from the more densely populated areas of Maui. Anything you need is close by, including swimming/snorkeling beaches, groceries and plenty ono grindz. The condo is nicely furnished and the bed is very comfortable. The A/C cools the place quickly, and opening the windows allows for cooling breezes. Absolutely recommend for 2 people.

This amazing studio room sits yards away from a sparkling ocean view! The sea wall ledge is a turtle feeding place making for excellent turtle sightings right from the comfort of your lanai. Great amenities, very comfortable bed, and the air conditioning works great! Very quiet location that’s close to shopping. We appreciated the excellent communication with the owner We will be back!

Didn’t want to leave! The condo has everything you need, and was so clean. Couldn’t ask for more. Hosts were so helpful. Location is stellar, close to several awesome snorkeling spots such as Honulu Bay and Slaughterhouse beach, check them out!

Perfect location next to famous beaches and resorts, yet calm and quiet. Well stocked. Did not need AC, cool winds and whale watching right from the balcony. Will go back! Excellent communication.

This was my 4th time in Maui, and by far the best condo I've stayed in. Awesome sunsets, sounds of the ocean and nightly whale sightings were great. I will be back next year!

Pictures and descriptions of this place are spot on. Older unit but has some nice upgrades including nice bed, kitchen and shower. Loved mornings and sunsets on the lanai including seeing whales. Sure, it’s not a resort, but wife enjoyed the pool and we got a million dollar view for a week at about what you’ll pay for a night or 2 at the Ritz just up the road! (And we were closer to the water.) On the last night we were discussing how quickly we could get back :-)

The lanai was close to the water exactly like we wanted. The unit was close to our favorite beach as well. The unit while not fancy was comfortable and reasonably well maintained. We would stay here again.

Cleanliness was an issue in the kitchen. Oven was sprayed with cleaner and left that way. So we had to clean it before we could use it. This wasn’t something we could wait to be fixed. Blender covered in brown sticky stuff, top broken and seal leaked it should be replaced. So we had to clean it before we could use it. Again not something we could wait on. AC has what appeared to be black mold and was very inefficient. Many things are broken and need to be replaced. Tea pot doesn’t work when you try and pour your tea. Snorkeling gear has been baking in the sun and isn’t usable and the list goes on. The unit is decorated nicely and we managed but are disappointed to find so many things in poor shape that we counted on to prepare our meals. Do better and deliver what people pay for! No one wants to hear any excuses. Your customers shouldn’t have to experience this.

If you’re the kind of couple who rents a convertible and opens the top every time you drive it, this could be the place for you.You can’t get closer to the ocean without being on a boat. This means unobstructed sunsets, amazing whale watching, and when you look almost straight down, lots of turtles feeding on the algae on the seawall. Right there, beyond your toes. But because it’s a seawall rather than a beach, if the wind and waves are right it can be pretty exciting — and loud. We loved it. No street noise.The unit is a studio, so the interior is cozy but the lanai is huge and the ventilation is fantastic. Also the kitchen is surprisingly large and works really well for two-person cooking.The property is more like a community than a resort with two swimming pools located across the road. This sounds bad. It’s good. They’re very nice, not mobbed, and sited in the middle of mature gardens. So when you look up from your book you’re seeing (and hearing) wind in trees, not a high-rise with five token palms. Nice, clean BBQs nearby.Finally, the hosts. Joe and Naomi were the nicest, most responsive VRBO hosts we’ve ever had. We did have an issue, and they went above and beyond to make it right, promptly. Just can’t say enough about them.

We normally stay in Maalae bay when we come to Maui, this trip we decided to do something a bit different as we did not have our whole family with us. 5 nights here was a wonderful new experience for us. We still have 8 more nights on Island, but really enjoyed starting our trip here!! You have created a beautiful welcoming space!’

We stayed for six days in late March and it truly exceeded all expectations, even with its stellar reputation.What sets this condo apart is not just its fun, nostalgic decor or its impeccable cleanliness. It’s the breathtaking, private ocean views from the lanai, where we watched whales breaching almost every time we stepped out and enjoyed spectacular sunsets that painted the sky each evening. This vantage point, with its panorama stretching to Moloka’i and Lana’i, offers a serene and utterly unique experience.Location-wise, this condo is a gem. Nestled away from the high winds of Kapalua and the busy resorts of Kaanapali, it offers peace while still being accessible to Maui’s top spots. Though the Road to Hana and Haleakala aren’t exactly nearby, we still visited both as day trips and closer adventures like Kaanapali Beach, Napili Bay, and the scenic drive to Nakalele Blowhole and Olivine Pools are must-dos. Tip: Catching a bus (line 29) is a breeze and saves you the parking troubles—perfect for day trips to nearby beaches like Kaanapali (our favorite).Jaime and Will provided clear instructions and everything needed for a carefree stay. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. This place felt like our own slice of paradise. We can’t wait to return and continue exploring from this perfect Maui base.

We had an unforgettable stay at this condo in Maui! The location was truly exceptional, offering breathtaking views of magical sunsets and rainbows. The highlight was watching whales frolic right in front of the setting sun—a moment we'll never forget.The property was clean, well-maintained, and fully functional, with a useful kitchen and thoughtful beach accessories that made our stay even more enjoyable. Easy access to the condo and surrounding areas added to the convenience.Overall, this condo exceeded our expectations in every way, providing a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and adventure. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable Maui experience!

We spent most of our time on the lanai when we were at the unit. The view was incredible! We saw whales every day and turtles too. The sunsets were incredible as well! We appreciated the list of places to visit and went to most of the ones on the list!

The place was nice but unfortunately with all of the construction on the property it was covered in saw dust which made our stay quite uncomfortable. It was everywhere everyday. If I had known that was happening I would have stayed somewhere else.

This was a beautiful condo. We saw so many whales from the lanai, it stayed cool despite being on the top floor. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. Just lovely.

We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view, well equipped space that met all needs, and privacy. For those needing beach access, it wasn’t conducive to that. Suggestion would be better pillows. Overall, it was a very nice stay.

I only had one issue and its a big one. The parking stall number is not provided in the email they send with all the other information like door code and things, so when I arrived late at night on my first night I drove around looking for a parking stall that was the same number as the unit number. There wasn't one, so I left property went and found free parking and walked with my bags back to the place. Once I was in I saw the information for the parking number in a book on the table, so I dropped all my bags and walked out with only my car keys to go get the car and bring it back. When I returned I realized the door auto locks when closed, so I was locked out late at night with my phone and all bags inside the unit. I had no way to get in or call for help. Thankfully there was a couple there that was still awake and had watched me panic and let me use their phone. I called the after hours number for a solid hr none stop before I got through to someone. It would have been very easy to provide the parking stall number in the email you send out with other information. I would suggest doing that. Other than that the place is lovely! I would stay here again now that I know.

Loved the ocean right off the Lani. Very private and quite(except for workers right out the front door for a few days) Very nicely updated. The bed was WAY too soft, no support for bad backs etc. Pans were scratched non-stick pans, need replaced.Overall a great place for a couple to stay. Only thing that would make it better would be a beach instead of rocks and a wall out front. Mahalo!! to stayto stay!!

We found the place to be very cozy on the inside, almost like a cabin. The host makes sure you have everything you need for a pleasant stay. And the Lanai is unreal. We say many whales and sea turtles from the balcony.
