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.

Wonderful view of Molokai and Lanai. Shared breakfast and cocktail hour on the lanai with the whales and sea turtles. Enjoyed the sound of the surf while going to sleep. Very comfortable and in a great location.

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.

This is our second two week stay in this unit and we could not have been happier. It was great to be back on-island and to help LaHaina and the region recover by supporting local businesses, paying taxes and tipping well. We will certainly be back.

This condo is in a perfect location allowing the sound of the waves on the sea wall, view of turtles visiting the sea wall throughout the day as well as a view of whales playing in the distance! The lanai is a great place to hang out when not at the beach or visiting other areas of Maui.
The kitchen in the unit was well stocked with dishes and other cooking utensils. Stop at one of the local markets to pick up what is needed, including salt and pepper, and you will be all set!
I gave the location a 4 out of 5 stars for two reasons.
First, a couple of the pictures on the listing are not the same as what is in the condo. In one picture, a loveseat/sofa is shown, when the actual furniture piece is a wooden frame with cushions (this made a difference to me due to knee issues and the lower frame was more difficult to stand from). In a second picture, a stand alone inside A/C unit is shown with a different picture above the bed; the actual A/C unit is a window unit that tends to be louder than most stand alone inside units. Therefore I'm not certain the picture is of the correct unit.
The second reason for a 4/5 stars is that the unit needs a few updates. The chairs for the high top table on the lanai have holes in the seats where the bolts below the webbing have poked through. Also, the bathroom textiles could use an upgrade as they were super thin and very very rough.
Overall, the condo definitely fit my needs, and I enjoyed my stay!

We have stayed at this property numerous times, and enjoyed it very much. We love to be on the lanai watching whales, sea turtles and magnificent sunsets. The studio condo. is comfortable and conveniently appointed. We definitely plan to visit again!

Traveling to Maui for our 42nd anniversary. We want oceanfront & we got it! Big swells warning were issued so there were times we felt the waves hitting the sea wall. Whales & sea turtles did not disappoint! Unit itself could use some freshening up. Walking distance to several food/groceries/beaches. Overall we enjoyed our Maui getaway!
Thank you!

Perfect location, with direct access to the ocean. Falling asleep to the sound of the water. Breakfast with a view of Whales and Turtles.
The place was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The host responded quickly when contacted
Would go back in a heartbeat

We had a wonderful time at Joe and Naomi’s oceanfront condo. It was wonderful eating breakfast on the lanai each day while listening to the crashing surf. We were able to see green sea turtles every day and could see whales pretty much anytime we were out on the lanai. Plus the incredible views of both Lana’i and Moloka’i islands. And don’t miss the best cinnamon rolls you will ever eat just down the road at Papi’s Ohana. The condo had everything we could ask for and we would absolutely love to stay here again the next time we visit Maui!

This unit is so close to the ocean that it feels like your on a cruise ship! It was so nice to wake up and see the sea turtles snacking below the lanai each morning. We were also lucky enough to witness 2 humpback whales breaching and showing their huge tails one afternoon. Joe and Naomi are great to deal with and answer questions in a timely manner. The bed is very comfortable too. Great stay! Thank you.

It was beautiful. alot of rules. afraid to use anything in case it broke. Tub was a little scary to use for a senior.
Internet not so good.

December 2023
It was so beautiful and relaxing and everything all the reviews said it would be. The ocean is literally right off of the Lanai. The views at all the different times of the day were exquisite, the sunsets, the sound of the waves putting you to sleep at night all were so calming. We loved watching the sea turtles from the Lanai. And the condo was so comfortable with everything we needed. And, even though the beach is a 5 min walk we found when looking for other more famous beaches that the one closest to the condo was the quietest and had the calmest waves. Thank you for this lovely place for our time to get away. We needed it!
Anne S.
December 2023
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Condo is just as described. Can’t beat the proximity to the ocean. Fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves just below the balcony. Was nice to have the washer and dryer and kitchen appliances for dining in. Close walk to a nearby beach, stores, and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. Nice quiet place to stay!

What a great location and THE VIEW!!!
I will never forget the beautiful view from this place. Close to all the major places in Lahaina area and you get your own parking space which is a hard to find in Hawaii. Great place for a couple to relax and enjoy seeing turtles everyday from your own lanai (balcony).
Highly recommended to everyone!

The condo was perfect for my husband and i for our honeymoon. You can not ask for a better location. Its right on the ocean with perfect sunset views. Lots of sea turtles and beaches in both directions. More cozy and private then the big resorts on either side as well.

Great view of of the sun setting over Molokai and Lanai from second story balcony. Convenient location. Parking space right at the bottom of the steps. Convenient access to the highway. Just north of Lahaina. Close to great snorkeling in Honolua Bay. Not very big, but a great home base for your daily excursions on Maui.

The view in this studio is to die for! You open the door and the first thing you see is the ocean. Literally right on top of the water! We watched turtles non-stop from the lanai. Everything you need is in this perfect little condo and the hosts are wonderful! It was truly a perfect stay.

Having been to multiple Hawaiian islands multiple times, my wife and I have stayed in a variety of accommodations from ultra luxury resorts to budget hotels. This is by far one of the best locations and accommodations we have ever enjoyed on the islands. The “on-the-ocean” view from the private lanai is remarkable. Countless whale sightings and sea turtles nibbling along the rocks was readily available anytime you walked out of the condo. A full sized well stocked kitchen provided convenient meal prep and dining space. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable and listening to the waves crashing through the night was hypnotically serene. The bathroom size, counter space and storage was ample for two. And the jacuzzi tub/shower was a plus. The final component that made our stay carefree and convenient was the reserved parking right next to the condo. The geographical location is also a BIG advantage. You are a 5-10 minute drive to Lahaina Town and 5-10 minutes away from top snorkeling spots on Maui. Be sure to check out Slaughterhouse Beach, just 7 minutes north for a beautiful beach framed by volcanic cliffs and magnificent snorkeling.

April 2023
Joe and Naomi’s place has really nice oceanfront views. We enjoyed watching the sunset every evening from the lanai. We watched whales one morning, and that was an enjoyable experience. We appreciated the King size bed, four large ceiling fans, a large size fridge, and the beach chairs and coolers we could take to different beaches for snorkeling. We would definitely consider staying there as long as the price stays reasonable in the future.

The lanai is amazing for whale- and turtle-watching. The space is perfect for two people, and the location is minutes away from some of our favorite beaches on Maui. The second-story corner unit is great for quiet mornings and evenings, and included everything we needed: Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler. Would highly recommend!

This cute space salvaged what was otherwise a rough trip. It had a beautiful view at all times of day and night - we enjoyed watching the whales play in the horizon every morning. Several beaches close by were nice for relaxing during downtime.

The view from the linai was wonderfully with Lina’i to the left and Molakai to the right. My only complaint was the very noisy neighbor directly below us. People can hear him at Honolulu. Other than that, the condo was exactly what we wanted.

I couldn't of been happier with this location. Not only were we able to see sea turtles eating off the rocks every morning but we were just steps away from the shore. The unit had everything we could ever need and was local to stores/restaurants. Very safe and quiet but still close enough to night life. When I go back to Maui, I will be staying at this unit. It will not be my home away from home. Super pleased with the whole island experience!!

Photos of this property do not do it justice. As soon as you walk through the front door, and look through to the balcony, all you see beyond that is the ocean - and a few turtles popping their heads up to say hello!
Location is perfect. The property has everything you need to be completely self sufficient - all the way down the beach chairs and umbrellas to make your days at the beach even better. If I was to return to Maui, I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I went to Maui for his 30th birthday and honeymoon and Joe and Naomi's property was better than we could have ever imagined! It was literally on the beach, which was very secluded and intimate. We swam next to two turtles and woke up one morning to one laying on the beach right outside our door. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It was a walk away from the grocery store and awesome restaurants. We barely had to use our rental car. It was very clean and they had all the necessities. We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon thanks to Joe and Naomi! :) We plan on returning to Maui in the future and hope to stay at their place again!

Our experience with this property was tops! The owners were very responsive and provided excellent information about the unit, the neighborhood, directions around the island, and more! Comfy amenities, excellent ocean front balcony where we could hang out and watch the turtles all day long. There were so many! There is a beach right next door to the unit. The parking space is right next to the unit as well- it's all right there! The pool in the complex is super relaxing and beautiful. I would absolutely stay here again and again!

The quintessential Maui place to stay. The quieter part of the western side with lovely bays and resorts very closely. The place itself is amazing, well equipped, a great lanai, a view to die for. Got all the amenities you’ll need too. If I were to nitpick, the ac unit is very very loud but not really an issue if you’re used to white noise.

Great location - a bit quieter than Kaanapali, but still close to Lahaina, Whalers Village, and right beside a nice swimmable beach. Lanai is spacious with turtles swimming right in front of the Lanai every day. A great place at a reasonable rate!

Stayed here back in 2015 and really enjoyed it. Now that covid is "going away" we decided to come back to maui. Saw it was available again and immediately reached out to get it this year. It's just the right size for a couple. MASSIVE lanai to watch the sunset from, watch the turtles and the SUP folks doing their thing. Parking is my #1 pet peeve in hawaii and this place has it's own private spot right next to the stairs. The location is perfect with plenty of places within walking distance and even more within driving distance.

My wife and I chose this location for our anniversary vacation. I don't know if I can do justice to the amazing week we had here. Rainbows every morning, sunsets every evening, and turtles every day! The location is perfect, just past the main "resort row," allowing easy access to shopping (both souvenirs and groceries) and dining but without constant traffic outside. You are literally feet from the ocean, but the second-story setting gives an even better view, along with additional privacy. There was a TV and A/C, but we never felt the need to turn either on, the natural setting and climate was that perfect. We don't get to Hawai'i as often as we'd like (how many mainlanders do, really?), but when we do we would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Naomi and Joe!

My husband and I have stayed in this area often (and even in the same complex), but this unit definitely had more to offer than the others we have rented. The owners graciously had beach chairs and umbrellas and even coolers that we could take on the beach. It was perfect for our vacation.

Had a wonderful time on my honeymoon. The home was even more beautiful in person. We spent every morning and sunset on our lanai, which really felt like you were floating on the water. We fell asleep to the waves every night. Joe and Naomi had all the beach supplies we needed and it was an amazing stay. I still miss looking for turtles every morning. Highly highly recommend!

The location is beyond description! The view from the balcony is so stunning and beautiful that I cannot describe it with words. If you want to impress your sweetheart then this is the place.

Delivers on everything! From the moment you enter the unit you are welcome with the amazing ocean view. Location felt secluded enough for a quite romantic time ( celebrating 18th Anniversary), but within minutes from everything. It was our 1st time in Maui and we cant wait to go back. Thank you Joe & Naomi for sharing your beautiful home with us.

This is our second stay at this VRBO and once again we were very pleased with the location. There was a small hiccup with the cleanliness of the property when we first arrived - it did not appear as though the floor had been swept we found sand everywhere. The cleaning service also did not leave beach towels. A quick email and this was resolved the next day.
We were treated to a high surf warning towards the end of our stay - this lasted 2.5 days with some very impressive waves crashing against the sea wall. If you love storms like we do, this was just an added bonus to our stay.
Since the last time we were here, the property management added LED lighting to the ocean side of the building - unfortunately - this creates so much light, that you can no longer see all the wonderful stars when sitting on the lanai. This was probably done for safety reasons but actually took away from the overall experience.
Even so, we are planning our next trip back here next year as long as costs don't skyrocket.

Everything about our stay at Joe and Naomi’s place was wonderful! Perfect location. Close enough to lots of Maui adventures, restaurants , shops etc. , but away enough to relax in a peaceful place each evening.

Thank you for Joe and Naomi for your patience and flexibility and for allowing us to experience this bucket list vacation! We’d love to return someday!!

This place is perfect! The ocean is so close it occasionally splashes up on the lanai! We slept every night with the lanai doors open letting the ocean sing us to sleep. The condo was clean, had everything we needed and the lanai was big and spacious. We spent every morning and evening there watching sea turtles, whales and a Hawaiian monk seal. The sunsets were amazing, as were the rainbows with both Lanai and Molokai in view. We are already making plans to return.

Highly recommend their beautiful condo, hoping I can get back there soon!

The parking spot is a little tricky for me, but my husband is great at backing up. So he always drove when we were headed back to the condo. Turtles everyday right outside the lanai. My favorite phrase to my husband, “ I’m sorry I can’t hear you over the waves”.

This VRBO had the best views of the ocean as soon as you wake up in the morning. We loved having breakfast on the lanai and it being pretty central in Lahaina area.

My wife and I loved this spot. It was our escape and our (delayed) honeymoon after a crazy year and we couldn’t ask for a better location.

We would absolutely return and/or highly recommend. Thanks for the memories!

There is truly nothing like waking up to the sound of the ocean and going to bed after watching a beautiful sunset! Small private beach just a few minute walk away however we often drove the 8-10 minutes to other beaches including Lahaina and napilli bay. Condo was nice, good for price point; appliances and features slightly outdated however we spent the majority of our time when at the condo on the wonderful lanai.

You can't get any closer to the water than this! Gorgeous sunsets overlooking two islands. Boats, paddle boarders, swimmers and turtles go by to keep you entertained. My friend and I had our first visit to Maui in this beautiful condo. The place was clean, roomy and efficient. We didn't want for anything. There are beach chairs, and umbrella and a cooler for your beach trips. Boss Frogs is across the street for easy snorkel rentals. We walked to Dollies, Maui Brewing, & Miso Phat. I would highly recommend this condo!

This was our favorite place to stay on our honeymoon tour of Maui. The best thing about the condo was definitely the lanai!! It was perfect for relaxing or eating outside, and the ocean was just a few feet away! Plus there really were sea turtles swimming right in front of the condo almost every day. We feel that their condo is the best one in the whole complex because it is closest to the water and also on the second floor for more privacy.
Opening the glass doors brought a nice breeze through the condo. At night, we slept to the sound of the ocean and crashing waves. It was amazing! The location was great for exploring the whole Lahaina area and our journey around the north shore. The condo was clean and equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this little gem.
Solenne C.

We had a fantastic one-week stay at the condo - we only wished we could have stayed longer! The condo is very clean and comfy, with all the amenities (and more) that we needed. It's very conveniently located - within walking distance of grocery shops, restaurants, rental shops, etc. It's really just by the ocean so you just need to walk a few steps to get in the water. The views from the lanai are just outstanding - we ended up eating there every night, we couldn't find a restaurant that could compare. Highly recommended!

The condo is perfect and loaded with everything you need. It was so nice to have coolers, snorkel gear and beach umbrellas to use during our stay.

And we can't forget watching the amazing sea turtles every day! Clean and cozy, we definitely recommend!

excellent spot to go-forth from! comfy bed, full kitchen, shower/tub combo, dishwasher, flat screen, etc. beautiful view right on the ocean from the lanai, with Molokai, Molokini Crater, and the island of Lanai right there in front of you. saw MANY whales from the balcony; not close up mind you, but off in the distance where they always are. and a few turtles right below us. even saw an amorous pair of turtles doing unmentionable things, apparently unconcerned that we were watching! the neighborhood is a funky pleasant place, but the really nice restaurants and environments are elsewhere. i would place Kahana on the following scale of magnificence/grandeur, with the MOST over-the-top at the beginning of this list: Wailea (and it's embarrassing excessive and gauche Grand Wailea Hotel), Whaler's Village, Kaanapali, Kihei, then Kahana (where this condo is located) at the bottom of the list. BUT, having said that, this inexpensive condo has everything you'd need to venture forth into the wonders of Maui. i would definitely recommend it to others seeking a similar resting spot. Jim and Naomi (the owners) are very cordial and responsive. a very nice couple to deal with. :-) i would not hesitate to rent it again.

My husband and I just returned from a 5 night stay in this beautiful studio condo. It is actually as pictures describe and other reviewers also. We explored in our rental car all over Maui; Road to Hana (definitely take motion sicknesss med if prone) and another day on the southern route. But seriously you could spend your days at this condo and never leave. Spend your evenings too, with groceries because you can grill or cook in. Beautiful sunsets beautiful sunrises, comfortable bed, indoor and outdoor furnishings. Proximity to ocean cannot be better! Trust me when I say this unit is the best for comfort and views of ocean.

This was a fantastic set up. Quiet street, awesome view of the ocean - saw a lot of whales while dining on the lanai at sunset. The only downside, which ended up being significant, is the waves crash against the concrete wall below the condo. It often shakes the whole building and there is no sound barrier in this airy condo. We ended up having to sleep with ear plugs in and run the A/C unit just to try to cover the noise and get a good night's sleep. If not for that, this would have been a 5 star rating for sure. But hard to rate high when you can't sleep.

We just returned from our very first trip to Maui and stayed here for 5 nights. It is conveniently located and the price is very affordable. The view is amazing!!! My favorite time was morning coffee on the lanai where we saw whales and turtles every day :). It is a corner condo on the second floor of a two story unit, very quiet and very private. As advertised, it IS literally 10 feet from the water. The second floor gives you a better view than those on the first floor. When we were at the condo, mainly early morning and late evening, we spent the majority of our time on the lanai so the efficiency of the space was perfect for us. The bed is good. Very nice place and I highly recommend it! Would definitely stay here again.
