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.

Small but quaint. Great location and I had everything I needed. Been here 5 times! Current owners are selling so my hope is that the new owners open it up for vacation rentals as well.

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.

Great location with sunset and whale watching off balcony. Melissa provides beach chairs, umbrella and cooler which is most helpful. Huge bathroom and comfortable bed. Located north of Lahaina and between Kaanapali and Kapalua beaches. Would stay here again.

Stayed a week, and that wasn't enough time. The condo was clean, and the views off the lanai were extraordinary. Loved watching the whales and turtles every day. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing week.

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.

This was a perfect spot for my husband and I to stay! The VRBO was beautiful, clean, nicely decorated, and the kitchen was stocked with several appliances.We LOVED the fact that it was so close to the ocean. We got to see several sea turtles and whales out in front of the property every day we were there. There were also a couple of beaches near by that we didn't make it to, but they looked gorgeous! I would absolutely stay here again! Perfect location.Both the owner and the property manager were very communicative, and I felt like if I needed anything it would have been very easy to reach them.

This was our 2nd time renting this condo. First time was 5 years ago on our first trip where we fell in love with the island. Only reason we hadn’t rented again was return trips we brought family. This trip was once again the 2 of us and perfect base for 2 weeks. Loved watching whales from lanai. Any suggestions would be to update the AC unit. Works great but is loud.

The place was great and clean, although it looked dated outside, Had everything we needed. The only negative was the ocean view. There were 3 palm trees in front of the unit, their leaves obstructed the view.

I had a fantastic stay at the Condo. I volunteered for the PGA Sentry tournament and needed a place close to Kapula. The Condo had everything you needed and more. You are literally 25 ft from the shore line and you have wonderful views of the surrounding islands . The King size bed was the most comfortable place I have ever slept. The owner was very timely in communicating with me. The shower was a unique touch, as well as the overall decorations/art. I highly recommend it for a single or couple to enjoy a relaxing stay on Maui.

My husband and I had a quiet getaway in Maui after a busy holiday week! This condo was the perfect retreat. We saw whales off the lanai every morning. We brought dinner back a few nights to enjoy the sunset. The condo was very clean, and the bed was nice and comfortable. We used the AC a few nights but the breeze is so nice, you don’t really need it. It was also very nice to have a dedicated covered parking spot. The little kitchen had everything we needed. If you are staying on the west side of Maui, I highly recommend this condo.

We chose this property because it was a short walk from where our adult kids/grandkids had booked. This studio was much larger than other studios we have stayed in, feeling almost like a one bedroom because of the curtain that can be pulled between the bed area and the living/dining space. Some things we really appreciated: plenty of electrical and usb outlets by both sides of the bed and couch, beach equipment including beach chairs and snorkel gear, fully functional kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar and dishwasher, condiments in the fridge - you might want to see what is there before you buy ketchup and mustard, two kinds of coffee makers- keurig and a drip coffee pot. Things to know - the pools are at the rest of the resort across the street. We mostly used the pool at our family’s unit as it was heated and ours were not. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of light at night. I woke up often thinking it was daylight but it was just 2 or 3 am. We enjoyed seeing turtles in the water at the sea wall right outside the door, practically. It’s pretty special.

melissa’s condo was very nice for us, she had extra items for us to use, beach towels, cooler @ many more, felt very safe on second floor to leave the slider doors open listening to crashing waves cashing @ amazing rainbows every morning

We loved being able to sit on the lanai with a view of the water and hear the waves all night. So many things to walk to, including nearby pocket beaches, great restaurants and shops. Comfy bed, well-appointed kitchen and decorated so nicely. Busy neighborhood, but close to everything in West Maui.
