We enjoyed staying at this 6th floor penthouse across the street from a park on the ocean. Three beds for 4 people was perfect. It's nice to have a kitchen to save $ on food and a lanai to eat on or just sit and listen to the ocean, birds and breeze. There are lots of shops within walking distance or a short drive away. There are also some shops on the first floor of the building, including a nail salon which we took advantage of! We were there over Christmas and New Year's and were able to see fireworks from the lanai at midnight on New Year's. So much fun! A couple of us used the pool but that particular day was very windy so we didn't stay long. Any number of beaches north and south of the property are available to get your Vitamin D. Communication with Norma was very simple and she responded very quickly whenever we had a question or concern. We would highly recommend this unit to a group of 4-6 people. Our family of 4 was comfortable. Thank you, Norma, for helping us to have a great vacation on Maui!

The property has a great view and is close to everything. The dive shop and surf shop were in the same building. You could walk to the beach, restraunts and shops. The place had everything you'd want in the kitchen and rooms. The host was very communicative and everything was perfect.

Norma’s place was located right across from Kalama Park and had wonderful views of the ocean. Only drawback to the location, for us ladies in the +60 range, was extremely loud Friday night music from S.Kihei Drive below us. It was only on the weekend so not everyone would be bothered. The place was clean and Norma was very clear and timely with instructions. We volunteered while there and highly recommend the experience of lending a hand with time and money in helping the people of Maui.

The view and the sunset are exceptional. Loved having shops downstairs. Had the best pedicure at Queens Nails. Very well equipped apartment. Everything you’ll need for your stay is here - cooler, beach chairs, umbrella and board. Loved the privacy of the door that led to our unit.

We had the opportunity to stay in this property for about three weeks. The location is amazing, within walking distance to food, beach and shopping. It does get a little warm on hot days and if you need Internet to work then you may struggle a little. For the price and location it was exactly what we needed!

This property is the perfection location for a family to use as their base as they explore Maui. Located at the top of the condo building and at the end it's incredibly private and it's location ensures that the trade winds are blowing almost always circulating the air and keeping things cool. View from the balcony is right over the nearby cove. There are numerous beaches within about a 5-20min walk south of the condo. A couple of State beaches are about 15-20min by car. Multiple stores nearby for groceries and Target/Costco etc are about 20min away by car. I had a couple of questions the second day, Norma jumped right onto a phone call and we got the items sorted out. When our travel home was impacted by the Maui fires, Norma was very accommodating and allowed us to go back to the condo and get some sleep etc. Made a huge difference in the middle of a horrible situation.

Great quiet location. Close access to the beach. Well stocked kitchen. Landlord response timely and informative. Enjoyed eating dinner on lanai. Lanai provided spectacular views of sunrises and sunsets. Surf rental equipment/lessons in same building. Close proximity to eating and shopping establishments. Ceiling fans circulated air coming through windows for sleep in comfortable beds. Washer and dryer great asset. Free parking in back of building was great! Granddaughters enjoyed pool located on 2nd floor of building. Barbecue on pool deck came in handy for grilling steaks. Overall wonderful experience. Enjoyed our visit to Maui 5/13-20/23. DAT

Great property, location is excellent directly across from a beach. Lots of dining options nearby, could use some air in the bedrooms, it was warm for sleeping, all in all we had a great time.

Amazing island getaway! The condo was perfect for our family, we had an amazing trip staying in the perfect location, close to the water, shops and grocery. Would definitely come back and stay again!

Amazing view of the ocean, beaches, sky and hills! Saw whale spouts and breaching from the balcony! Condo was nicely furnished with comfortable furniture and beds. Would rent it again!

This was a great property to stay in. The location was convenient to everywhere, especially to beaches. There are many restaurants within walking distance or a short drive. Parking is provided. The condo unit was great. It is a top floor end unit and very private. The view is essentially unobstructed to the water. In the right season, I'm sure you would be able to see whales. Everything you could ask for is provided with the kitchen very well equipped. No problem to cook meals in if you want. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit Maui. Highly recommend.

The condo is in a great location, restaurants, food truck, alley shopping all within walking distance. Located from across Kalama Park / beach which is amazing for watching the sunsets. The condo building was really quiet except that darn rooster who started anywhere from 430 am to 530 am daily haha. Albeit a bit of tight quarters for 6 adults, living room area is quite small and especially when the murphy bed is pulled down, there isn’t a lot of comfy seating other than the love seat recliners (very comfy) but that’s only for 2 of you and then the kitchen table chairs, or you could sit outside which isn’t awful. The unit was comfortable, and well equipped, we did buy a toaster as the toaster oven wasn't fast enough for 6 of us eating at the same time. We left it behind. We did need to buy spices as there is only salt and pepper, not a biggie but certainly would bring some next time as it would be cheaper for us Canadians given the exchange rate and the cost if you’re trying to save some extra pennies, we did leave those behind along with a little bit of other food for the next people to arrive, or for the cleaner to take home or donate as she saw fit. It did get warm in the unit in the evenings, 2 of use slept on the murphy bed with the windows and balcony door open, there were only a couple of days where we had a nice breeze coming off the ocean. We avoided the use of the AC as much as possible as we didn't know what the extra charge would be for the utilities at the end of our stay. We did use the ceiling fan and other fan too in the living room to keep it cool for sleeping. The Bedrooms were cooler with 1 facing north and the other facing east, so no direct sunlight in the later part of the day and it was fairly cool in there, there were no complaints from the 2 couples who stayed in those rooms. The unit is wheelchair accessible aside from the bathtub, but its my understanding that, that is on the list of renovations to come but we had no problems at all navigating around the unit. The pool area is definitely not accessible as there are 3 or for stairs to the pool so I can’t comment on the pool as we didn’t use it - the BBQ area is nice with tables and a couple of gas or propane BBQs to use at your leisure. We washed about 90% of the bedding, towels and blankets, washed the floor, put the dishwasher on before we left to help out the host and the cleaner. All in all I would recommend this place but perhaps for 4 adul

Located in Island Sands, across from Kamala Park, this unit is well situated and has everything you need for a fun filled vacation. There's even an ICECREAM maker (need I say more). Walk everywhere, multiple beaches to choose from, restaurants and bars a plenty, and a fabulous view of Haleakala. Communication with the host was exceptional and her attention to detail conveys how much she loves her place and Maui. I rate location and neighbourhood a 4 only because this location is a little bit noisier than I'm used to but it is understandable as our visit was over Christmas and New Years and they sell an awful lot of fireworks on such a small island!

The condo was very well equipped & Norma had provided an inventory, so we knew exactly what was there. The beds were very comfortable, & the living room has two wonderful recliners which we seniors loved. Right next door to a great market. We would definitely come here again!

It was our fist tie staying on this side of the island. This property location was perfect. Surfing, snorkeling, volleyball, rollerblading, and more are right there. Eating spots are all within walking distance, which we did a lot. Views from this spot are amazing and we had a blast. Thank you so much!

Norma’s place was suitable for our needs. We enjoyed having room to spread out. Although we weren’t here much because we were out exploring, coming home to a house versus a hotel was nice. I wish the place had a/c as it was pretty warm most nights. Other than that. No complaints!

Loved the location but didn't feel I should have to do bedding laundry before I left. After all I was on vacation!!!

My two granddaughters and I had the best time. The condo was the perfect size for us. We opened it all up and had the nicest breeze that came in. We did have the ceiling fans on in the bedrooms, but it was very comfy. They had some trouble getting the grills to work because there is no instructions, but finally figured it out after a couple days of trying. Norma is an absolute delight to work with. we had trouble getting the front door open and she was right on it and had someone there to help us. I would stay there again if I get the opportunity, the view is something else. Thank you Norma for being a great hostess.

This is an end unit so little neighbor noise, it is nicely set up, and conveniently located. This condo is better equipped than many others - not just the very basics are included so that was a really nice touch. We enjoyed being in Kihei!

Lots to do and see in Mauii. Condo was well stocked, comfortable and is well located with night life, sunsets, surfing and whale watching from the lanai. Lots of fabulous restaurants within walking distance. Nice touch to have coffee and fixings to set you up for first morning. Owner is excellent to deal with. Will definitely recommend this unit to friends and family coming to Mauii!

My friends and I came to Maui to celebrate my birthday annd we had a wonderful experience with our stay. Norma is really easy to get a hold of for any concerns, the property locations is at a excellent spot. Walking distance to everything especially the beach. Thank you Norma for letting us enjoy your home. When I return to Maui I would definitely reserve this spot again

This condo is great for a large family. The location is great because right across the street from the beach and park. If you are a beginning surfer, it is the best spot in Maui. Also, fun place to paddleboard. The owner was easy to work with and accommodating. Easy 5star rating!

We loved the ocean view from the lanai! We spent time every day watching the surfers, sunset and ocean colors. We had only one (much shorter) building between us and the ocean, so we could see the water, walk to the beach and walk to snorkeling. We were also close to the highway, so it was easy to visit West Maui, Haleakala, a Molokini launch, and the Road to Hana. We had a great week! The condo is not fancy but is very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a blender and toaster oven. Having two king beds and two bathrooms was great for the three of us. I would happily return!

Great location. Clean rooms. More than enough beds for a family of 5. There are two beds in the living room so, essentially, everybody had their own bed to sleep in (except for my four year old). Would stay here again.

The location feels very spacious and comfortable. Lots of towels, full size washer and dryer. The beds were comfortable. The location is awesome, several food places right within a 2 minute walk!

Thank you so much for sharing your property with us! We had zero issues with the property/unit, in fact we are already looking to rebook again for next year! The place was clean. The private type entrance was great for leaving all our sandy stuff outside without worrying if it would be taken. Beds were super comfortable after adventurous days (even the pull down). The Lanai was perfect for morning breakfasts with beautiful view. Location is within walking distance of so much, especially the FoodLand was a big one for us. This place overall just felt like home, and I'd recommend to anyone I know going to this island.
