Romantic Maui Getaway, 25' from the Ocean ~ Relax with the Sun, Wind and Waves

One of the best condos in Maui (with the reviews to prove it)! (Hawaii Tax ID: TA-113-583-7184-01)

Hi! I'm Jim Tierney and I stay here a couple months a year, so it's important the condo is kept in great shape. Both for myself and my guests. I'm constantly updating the condo. For example, I added a King bed last year, and added new art, a kitchen backsplash and replaced the old window with a new double pane window this year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

The only fee I charge is a $99 cleaning fee, there are no management, resort, or whatever fees that you'll have to pay me. Tax and the fee VRBO charges you for using the platform I have no control over.

The beautiful pacific ocean is 25 ft away from your lanai! Listen to the waves and see the stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. During whale season, you can see whales all day long. The condo itself is designed as something I would expect from an upscale Maui resort. So it's very well appointed and very comfortable. Including a high end Sterns & Foster King mattress! A vacation condo should feel like home and, at the same time, somewhere special. That special place that you look forward to returning to.

I've put a lot of work into the place and care a lot about the condo and your experience in it. You can see that reflected in the reviews! :-)

Also, check out the beautiful, custom shower! Finally got around to remodeling the shower and it came out amazing. All slate, river rock, and quartzite. I'm stoked about it and you will be too. :-)

While the ocean is 25 feet away, there is not a sandy beach in front of the property. However, there are some good beaches within easy walking distance. (see the photos)

I keep my calendar updated. If it says condo is available, it is. I know it's frustrating when you see an available condo and it's just due to folks not updating their calendars.

Key Amenities: Air Conditioner, high-end King mattress, free reserved parking, wired/wireless super fast internet (250mb down/20mb up), flat screen TV, remodeled kitchen, remodeled shower, and lots of small amenities like a hair dryer in the bathroom and juicer in the kitchen.

Check out the Google Map below with some great recommendations for eating and activities. See the video for the view off of the lanai.

I figure there's two things people want from a Maui vacation... 1) to see and hear the ocean from their lanai and 2) to get some sleep. :-) As for the ocean, the condo is 25 feet away from the ocean so you can sit on the lanai and watch the waves crash into the sea wall or the sun set over the wide pacific and disappear behind Molokai. When it comes to sleeping I'm pretty particular about the mattress I sleep on, so it was important to find a good mattress that rivaled what I expect from an upscale hotel. It's amazingly comfortable and I think you'll find it's wonderful to listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep.

It's a wonderful, luxurious space that will give you everything you want from a Maui vacation. I look forward to having you experience it for yourself.

If you're into cooking, the kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. You have all the cookware necessary for a complete meal and then some. The dishes, glassware, and tableware are all beautiful and will make having dinner on the lanai at sunset feel like a 5 star restaurant. You are also a couple minutes away from a market that specializes in local and organic foods, if you're looking for fresh ingredients.

There's also a brand new air conditioner, which is not common in vacation rentals.

Of course, there's the usual stuff, 32' flatscreen TV with DVD and cable, high speed internet with WiFi, speakers to plug an iPod into, hair dryer, small library of DVDs, and even a desk to write postcards on or check email (not that you'd be doing that on your vacation). There's also stuff like beach chairs, a boogie board, snorkel equipment, and beach towels. The couch becomes a queen sized, simmons sofa bed to accomodate kids or another adult. This IS a sofa bed. It's a nice one, but like all sofa beds it's not the paragon of comfort, especially for adults.

There are two pools. However, this is a residential condo complex (meaning folks live here year round) so the pools aren't resort quality. There are no waterslides, bars, spa, lifeguards, or attendants handing you towels. They are nice, clean pools, but more modest than you'd find in a resort. Of course, the condo has pool/beach towels for your use and it's easy enough to mix up your own drinks in the blender. :-) There's also a couple day spas a short distance away.

There's a grassy area directly in front with a gas BBQ, tables, and chaise lounges. You're one block from restaurants and shopping. It's an excellent central location to go north to Kapalua or south to Kaanapali.


The condo is non-smoking and is on the second floor, up one flight of stairs.

Cancellation policy: you can cancel 45 days or more and get a full refund. 30-45 days out, you just lose the deposit. So it's less strict than what VRBO shows, but I can't customize that. Also, if I can rebook the dates I will also give you a full refund, regardless of when you cancel.

We had great time

This was our first time in Maui and it was excellent. The location is great. Walking distance to a few beach access areas and some restaurants (I am still thinking about the fresh caught sashimi we had from Miso Phat). The unit has air conditioning, but we only turned it on once. It was not very hot during our stay so we opted to open some windows instead to create a cross breeze while we let the ocean waves lull us to sleep. Speaking of sleep, one of the reasons I chose this rental was because of Jim’s description of the mattress. I’ve stayed in enough vacation rentals with terrible mattresses to know how important a good mattress is for me and my husband’s middle aged bodies. We were not disappointed! It was a great mattress. The kitchen is well equipped, as is the rest of the unit. The condo also has some beach equipment you can use. The folding chairs were great, and we brought them to all of the beaches we visited. The view is the star of the show. We had some great sunrises and sunsets and we had a great view of Molokai and Lanai from the lanai. Yes, you’re really that close to the ocean! For anyone wondering about driving to other area from Kahana, it took us about 40 minutes to get to Kihei and about an hour to get to Paia. For anyone considering the Road to Hana, we did a 10-12:30 reservation at Waiʻānapana State Park, left by 7am with only a few very quick stops along the way and made it there by 10:15. (So worth it). We hope to be back!

The location & property was perfect for us! We love to adventure so we didn't need a huge fancy place; it was clean, with enough space for us two AND a comfortable bed! We jogged to badass coffee most mornings to drink coffee on the beach. We frequented Miso sushi, the farmers market and Maui brewing which were walking distance. Could not be more pleased with the condo and location; it's close to everything. Sitting on the balcony in the morning and watching the sunset and rainbows in the evening was just what we hoped for. We'll be back!

What an amazing spot to be able to be. Beautifully and tastefully and thoughtfully adorned and provisioned, no better location might there be, with a personal touch of connection and outreach from the owner and property manager. How soon until we are able to come back, we wonder?

Amazing view and well appointed condo with everything you need, including a guitar! But mostly enjoyed watching sunset and going to sleep with the sound of the waves. Great place. Recommended.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this condo as part of our Maui vacation. The location and environment is excellent. The condo was very nice, exactly as advertised, with beautiful ocean views and comfortably furnished. I would recommend this property as a great place for couples.

Great place, literally right on the ocean. The view is amazing and mostly all you hear is just the sounds of the wind and the waves. Very relaxing and the condo itself is very well equipped. We'll be back!

Great spot! Very quiet, clean and comfortable. Everything was within easy walking distance, beach, restaurants and stores. And the view from the lanai of Molokai and Lanai was outstanding. Definitely looking forward to returning

A handful of issues. Microwave worked, then it didn't. Worked and it didn't. After monkeeing around, found that the outlet behind the frig only half worked. Had to run an extension thru the bath. Light above the sink was burnt out, but replaced by Charles. Nice guy ! Nice computer, but not hooked up to anything. Looking to turn on the TV, but there were 3 remotes. Really ! Got directions on my phone that said " do this and that " if that didn't work, try this. Either is works or it doesn't .How about a universal remote ? Charles took care of this. Great view, bed and pillows. Tenant above was horrible. Felt like they were coming thru the ceiling every step, Assigned parking spot was fine, as long as you liked to have your car covered in bird turd every day.

This place was perfect for my wife and I. It’s a basic condo with spectacular views. The way the property is designed, no other balconies can look into your balcony and you can’t see others! Only the ocean, rainbows, and Molokai! They have all sorts of cool art, a couple guitars, coolers, and while I didn’t cook much, all the kitchen gadgets you would need. Overall a great rental!

The location is amazing. We were right on the beautiful ocean and saw many turtles while just enjoying the lanai. It is a perfect location to enjoy the sunset on the ocean. The location felt safe, secure, and comfortable. Within a short drive we found great places to snorkel with colorful fish and relaxed turtles. The locals were kind and helpful. We respectfully stayed away from Lahaina but all the places we went were grateful for the business. The owner, Jim, has the place comfortably stocked and he provides a lot of useful information on the area. We will stay here again.

My wife and I took a trip to Maui as the first leg of a much longer trip. I had never been to Hawaii before. Unfortunately, the Lahaina tragedy took place between our booking the trip and the planned date. I cannot sing the praises of Jim, the owner, more. We went back and forth about whether to even go. He gave even and detailed advice about the tenor of the island. what was open and how people feel about tourists. He was spot on and we decided to go. And we are glad we did. The property is great. It is just as it is pictured but actually feels larger. Immaculately clean. Great bathroom and shower. Well equipped kitchen. And then lanai is a great hang-out place. We even saw sea turtles paddling by. With the sliders open you can hear the surf all night long. I love the neighborhood as well. Some hi-rise places, lots of low buildings as well. People walking. Shops nearby. Great coffee. A general store. What more do you need. My wife and I both loved the place and the area. If you want a resort, this is not your place. But if you want a comfortable home for a stay in Maui, this is it.

The property had everything we needed and was exactly as described, We spent many hours out on the lanai watching magnificent sunsets or just staring at the water. It is walking distance to a couple of great restaurants that don't break the bank. Try Coconuts fish tacos! We would definitely stay at this property again!

Condo was very close by to everything. Beautiful view of ocean front. Quiet and clean will be back!

Couldn’t ask for a better view. The condo was exactly as advertised, convenient location to the beach, restaurants and coffee. Short drive to downtown Lahaina. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great find.

Booking was a breeze. The prior day we left, the property manager - Charles - contacted us. Communication with him was excellent throughout our stay. The room was exactly as described. The views from the lanai were spectacular. Bathroom was very nice. The only noises you'll hear are the waves crashing and birds chirping. You are literally 25' from the ocean. If you rent a car, you have a private, convenient parking stall. Bed was very comfortable. There were several spectacular beaches within 10 minutes. The only negative about the room was that we had to leave.


Dani B.

Its cosy but we had a great time with a view of the ocean. We saw turtles at the wall and dolphins in the channel. If it were whale season im sure we would have seen them too. Had a great trip!


Andrew B.
June 2023
This place is amazing. Gorgeous view, close to the water. Watching the sunset and seeing rainbows off the balcony. There is a secret beach just barely up the road where at most we saw 4 people. The VRBO has a fully stocked kitchen, snorkel gear, beautiful bathroom. The bed and pillows are SOO comfortable. So comfortable that I took pics of the brands because i want them at home. We’ll definitely be coming back to stay. Need more Miso Phat Sushi in my life!

Loved this property! Listing was as advertised. Easy check in and quick communication with host and property manager. It was well-appointed with everything we needed to cook our own meals. Nice Weber grill in the common-use area for big tuna steaks. It was a shirt to walk usable beaches but we were so close to Honolulu Bay and Slaughterhouse Beach (<10 min), we just went there all day. Close to good restaurants like Maui Brewing and Miso Phat sushi. 10 min drive to Safeway so stock up on your way in if you don’t want to go out often. Quite a drive from the rest of the island so plan your day trips ahead of time. Would 100% come back here. Thanks, Jim, for sharing your beautiful place.

Unit could be updated - needs some make over - electrical issues when plugging in hair dryer - unit was not as clean as would have liked - previous guests towels and sheets were left in hamper in bath. was not as clean as promised - floor was very dirty. Owner was accommodating - just had wished for a more updated unit that was cleaner - Best thing about the unit - the view !!!

The studio was not what my family was expecting. We guessed it was going to be two rooms and not a studio. BUT THAT WAS MY FAULT. However the place was really clean and super beautiful location. My wife and I will be back. It’s super romantic.

The location of this property can’t be beat! You can watch whales and turtles swimming in the ocean as you sit out on the lanai. Amazing snorkeling and breathtaking sunsets right in front of you. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The owner provided all the beach gear we could ask for and made for hassle free, fun filled stay. The owner and property manager were really easy to work with and made sure we had all the information we needed for a stress free arrival and departure. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Maui. Mahola nui loa! Aloha!

From my first walk out to the balcony we saw whales and Sunset views. It was cool to see the guitar in the corner. And had plenty of cable TV options. Thanks!

We island hopped and was at this location for only two days. There is a drop off with a wall in front of the building so no direct beach access. But they did have a nice book with tons of details made up in the room and the beach front is like a 3 min walk which was perfect. The view was amazing from the balcony. The towels were great and fluffy in the room. And was clean and we enjoyed the telescope and binoculars in the room. 1 out of 5 I would rate this place a 4 only due to the size and coffee would have been amazing to have stocked cause your a drive from town All in all we enjoyed our stay.

I have three reasons this was my choice in places to stay. First priority was the view and location to the water so we could hear the surf. Next was king size bed. (We prefer to stretch out.) and let me say, this bed was extremely comfortable! Finally, air conditioning. We wanted to stay in a condo vs. a resort while on Maui since preparing your own food and limiting eating out can save you money. Although, if you like fish the way we do, it is hard to resist the fresh fish at local restaurants. So, we saved a bit by doing it this way. We went to the grocery store and ate light breakfast in the condo, along with a couple dinners. This condo has all of the things you could want. It is up one small flight of stairs, but that wasn’t an issue. The owner and staff is very responsive to questions and we appreciated all the “extra” information that he gives in order to get the most out of your stay. The only drawback is most of the excursions we bought were located on the other side of the island where the airport is. So you have to plan for travel time in your rental car to get back and forth. Traffic can be daunting! It can take over an hour to get there and it is only roughly 25 miles. It is slow going. But who cares…. We are on vacation right?? The owner had beach chairs, a boogie board, beach towels, and books on things to know about Maui, games to play, even guitars and binoculars to look for whales. He even had a small portable telescope to use to look at the stars or go to the crater to see the night sky. As far as I am concerned that is above and beyond! The view and the sound of the surf was what dreams were made of! Things we couldn’t control; the neighbors. We had a very drunken neighbor puking off his balcony one night woke us up from a dead sleep. Then the people above us (nobody below you) were related to elephants I swear! They stomped everywhere they had to go while in the condo. Those things are completely out of the owners control. They are things that may effect your stay. All in all we would stay here again in a minute and give the overall stay a 9 out of 10. Thank you for a really great place to call home while on Maui! Mahalo!

We loved the balcony and sound of the ocean. Amazing view! Very private. We loved having the AC, fan, and the bed was super comfortable. We enjoyed having the option of coolers, simple spices, beach chairs, and coffee filters available. We could tell the owner put a lot of care and love into this property. Good selection of DVDs and the contact was very responsive if we had any questions. Convenient location close to gas station, food places and amazing beaches. Great find, thank you!

There were some opportunities for improvements : No Shampoo; Hand Soap already ran out when we arrived; needed to be creative in order to block the small openings on the blinds at the bathroom.

This was an incredible experience from start to finish! From the moment we booked, we had excellent communication with the owner. He was very friendly and helpful. The property was conveniently located near beaches, stores, restaurants, and other necessities. The bed was comfortable. The view was breathtaking. We were also provided with an on-island contact in the event of an emergency. There was excellent communication during our stay when we had questions. The owner provided helpful resources in the condo (such as maps to the best beaches and nearby recommendations). As the title states, you can’t beat the whole experience! We hope to come back to Maui to visit someday. And when we do, we will definitely be staying here! HIGHLY recommend!!!


Jeff H.

Beautiful view and great location! Check in was a challenge with an uncleanness condi a change in management with no available contacts except the recently terminated managers, unavailable owner and bad blood. We got a small credit. Grounds are great. Condo is not stocked well, no soap, shampoo, kitchen towels, pot holder (burnt myself), snorkels, there was a broken boogie board. Random glassware.. window louvers are mostly stuck. Needs some love..but Beautiful view..

The view from this condo is amazing. Right on the ocean. When we arrived, there were a few minor cleanliness issues that we noitifed the owner of. He responded promptly. The only other issue was the pool for the community was in disrepair with missing tiles and not what I expected. The location of the condo is close to everything on West Maui and a short drive to a beach. All in all, I would recommend staying at this condo for the location and amazing view.

The directions and information given are good. However as you approach the building it does not look good. On first coming into the property, you are hit by how dark and gloomy it is. The furnishings are interesting. Once you realise everything is as it should be and look at the sea views, the feel-good factor starts to set in. This place is marvellous! Around the corner is a first class coffee house and there is a small parade of shops nearby. This all contributes to a village atmosphere, which is very appealing . You will need a car to get to the resorts and busy beaches. Considering how much I paid and how relaxing my stay was, I am very happy having booked this property.

The condo was a great spot for the price. No it doesn’t have the amenities of a resort but you’ll save a lot of money staying here. If you want the resort experience you can go to Black Rock beach, only pay for parking, and still enjoy the bar, pool and bathrooms of the resort that are along the beach. The condo is 10 mins from many of the popular Maui stops. We highly recommend the Honalua Bay beach for snorkeling.


Bob P.
August 2021
Probably using the word “romantic” in the description of the condo is a stretch. The unit was in a convenient location, with many good restaurants relatively close by. All the basics we needed were there. View from our second floor balcony was amazing, especially at sunset. The complex is a bit older, so the units show their age to some degree. For example, there is no elevator, there is no ventilation in the bathroom so it smelled a bit musty after a couple days of normal use, and some of the wooden blinds/louvers on the windows did not work. However, we did get really good, cool airflow through the unit by opening the louvers on the entrance door (they worked) and opening the sliding door to the balcony. Really didn’t even have to use a/c that much. Also there is no convenient beach access.

This spot was absolutely perfect & exactly what we were looking for. Cute & clean studio condo in a quiet area. The balcony has the most perfect view & while there isn’t a beach directly in front of the spot, there is a beach maybe 1-2 min walk away so it wasn’t bad. The AC unit & ceiling fan got the place cool very quickly. Highly recommend

WE REALLY LOVED THE CONDO, IT WAS PERFECT! WE WOULD WAKE UP TO BEAUTIFUL RAINBOWS EVERY MORNING. NO NEED TO TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONER .THE TEMPERATURE WAS JUST RIGHT. THE OCEAN WAS MUSIC TO OUR EARS.WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO STAY THERE. WE ARE TELLING ALL OUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS GREAT CONDO.



August 2013
Wonderful as described condo. Generally quiet with winds from the east, (backside of condo rather than off the ocean) Lawn crew which comes in at 06:00 am converses with each other and others up early, so sleeping in is difficult even with 07:00 curfew...otherwise the condo environment is otherwise quiet other-than when others check in late sometimes not so quiet. The condo was as described and very comfortable with Wi Fi connection ability. Lot's of turtles and the nearby beaches comfortable. Local restaurants and activities were convenient. The Big Dipper is just off of the deck each evening. Enjoy, just understand this is a many unit complex which may have some low level noise issues at times, most of the times not. Mahalo



July 2013
This condo was perfect. I was looking for a place where I could enjoy a peaceful place to snorkel and enjoy the best that West Maui has to offer. This was the place. It Iis in a great location easy to find and within minutes to everthing I wanted to do. The condo is very clean well maintained. Great little kitchen and the bathroom exceptional. I truly enjoyed the nice community BBQ grill just outside the back patio where I had some great conversation with other tenant while wathing the green Sea Turtles feed at the waters edge. I will be back to this beautiful condo.



July 2013
This was everything promised, we had a wonderful stay. Loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset most nights and breakfast every morning. My boyfriend was a little bummed because he thought the owner was leaving his guitar but he got over it. It was well equipped with everything else we needed, the kitchen had just what we needed to prepare the food we bought at Costco and one of the Maui books there became our "bible." Best part besides the proximity to the water and spectacular view was that shower, it's beautiful and huge! We came in everyday after some fun adventure hot and sticky with sand everywhere and headed straight for it. Thanks we loved it!


Jessie C.
July 2013
Great Place. Location was perfect. It was sooooo close to the beach! I loved not having all the resort feel and people all over the place. We could walk every night to a different restaurant. It is close enough to Lahaina that you don't feel like you are loading up for a day adventure. The shower is AMAZING!!!! That was our favorite part of the condo. Well stocked kitchen great air flow ( we never even turned on the air conditioner). Would be great if there was another set of beach towels because ours were never dry! I hated wadding them up and throwing them in the car when we wanted to go somewhere else. The bed was comfortable, but I didn't fall in love with it. A great location, comfortable stay, and WONDERFUL price!

My new bride and I enjoyed staying here. It is in a beautiful setting and had everything we could have asked for during our honeymoon. From the quiet location, to the ocean being so close, and all the amenities provided by Jim and his property managers, Jack an Michael, we couldn't have been more pleased. They even bent over backwards to help me have a special treat waiting for my new bride last minute. I had tried contacting them earlier but didn't realize I was using an outdated number, when I finally wised up an contacted Jim it was last minute but he forwarded my request and Jack and Michael made it happen in record time. Seeing the pride they take in customer service set the stage for what turned into the most wonderful honeymoon we could ask for. I don't know how the condo looked before, but we can say the remodel Jim did is beautiful and the bed is extremely comfortable. Plenty of dishes, towels, etc provided so all we had to do was show up and have fun.



June 2013
We checked in during the darkness so we knew the view would be nice,but the next morning we were blown away! Views of Moloki and Lani await. Sunset dinner and cocktails.....yes please! Bed was super comfy, and you wake up to a view of the ocean every morning. We went out for dinner most nights but we couldnt resist the temptaion of poke and coconut rice on the lanai a couple nights. Shower is big enough for two and nery nice. Weather was awesome, only needed the ac when we got ready to go out for dinner , never at night. We did the road to Hana, but stayed on a bungalow in Hana so we could take our time, best decision of the trip, even though we wasted one night at the condo. Use the power strips provided, we tripped a breaker with the iron and hairdryer combo, but I was not plugged into the strip. No biggie if you can walk ten feet and flip a switch. Mega turtle action on the seawall all day long. I grabbed my snorkle and got a few underwater shots. The was a small beach right there that was perfect for a quick dip(I hate swimming in a pool when the ocean is so close) We had an unforgettable honeymoon , and cant wait to return.

We stayed at the condo April 8-12, 2013 and absolutely loved it! The view from the lanai was incredible, just like in the pictures! Amazing sunsets, and there were turtles right on the rocks! It was an amazing experience - I don't think I could have asked for better views and a better location for my home away from home! The location was exactly as described, and the pictures were exactly as shown! The shower was also incredible! Finding the condo was easy, and after some confusion about the parking (we were informed it was spot #206, but once we were unable to find #206, we contacted the on-site contacts and they told us the numbers had been re-painted and it was a new number). The WiFi would not connect at all, and I had to plug in in order to connect. That is fine though, I only had to check a few work emails. Who needs internet when you have the ocean 20ft away from you?! I would recommend this to anyone who wants a romantic getaway. The condo is perfect for 2 people - it would be crowded for more than that. I recommend going to the Maui Brewing Co.'s restaurant that is just around the corner off of HooHui St... so many different beers, it was great! Also, driving down to Front St and going to Kimo's is a great idea. Amazing Ocean front dining - try the Hula Pie! Overall, amazing experience, I can't wait to plan my next vacation!

This studio doesn't feel like one...it has all the room and amenities of a much larger place....the lanai is an integral part of any Hawaiian vacation, and in this one, you have the rolling waves and the unbeatable views and sunsets to make you never want to leave...Kitchen is home-like...everything you need is right there....the shower is exquisite, unlike any I've ever had the occasion to use on my many Maui vacations....Combine the super comfortable quueen-size bed with the sound of the ocean, and you have a restful sleep, allowing you to greet the next day with all the energy needed for enjoying the island, however you choose to do it....I'm already planning my next visit...

This condo was perfect for us--much better than a large resort. Everything was as described except that there was no breafast tray on our bed as in the pictures! The ocean was up close and personal and the whale watching was superb. The property was very clean, the towels were plentiful, kitchen utensils were adequate, and the pool across the street was clean and enjoyable. We never were able to get the WIFI to work but were able to hardwire a laptop. Bar stools on the lanai would have made it easier to whale watch over the railing but we just stacked up pillows on the existing chairs so we could see better. For future visitors who may arrive later in the evening, we recommend walking to Maui Brewing Co. or Dollies for a nearby meal. We didn't realize how close they were till we got oriented the next day. We also highly recommend Kelii's kayak and snorkel tours--swim with turtles! Kapalua Beach for nearby snorkeling-beautiful fish. Loved carryouts from Maui Tacos, Ona Kau Kau, and Mama's Ribs as well as elegant dining at Pacific'O. Mahalo!
