The property was perfect! It was centrally located to on the island. The condo was cozy and quite. The pool was an added bonus for the times we weren't playing in the ocean. I will definitely be staying here again.

This property is in Maalaea, which is centrally located coming from the airport. There isn't much as far as restaurants in the area like there is in Kihei or Lahaina. It is near a beach that is okay and the lanai does face the ocean. The Maui Ocean Center is nearby and the harbor for departure of whale tours. The condo itself is okay. The carpet is old and very dated. Having the master bedroom on the second floor isn't great if you have trouble climbing stairs. The fan in the upstairs loft squeaks and is annoying if left on all night. When all the lights are out, the condo is very dark. We had to leave the light on the microwave on so we could see where we were going at night. Some night lights would have been nice. The fact it is air conditioned was welcomed. The upstairs queen bed was comfortable. Not sure about the other two twin beds. The separate laundry was not the best. You have to pay through an app and it charges fees to upload money to start the machines. The condo complex it is located in is small compared to others in the area. It is located next door to a public parking lot for the beach.

We had a good time in Maui. Beds were comfortable and the condo was clean. The park next to the condo was a bit noisy particularly on the weekend if you wanted to keep the balcony door open. The room with the 2 twin beds is a bit warm even with AC. Great location, easy access to all. Thank you

We were delighted with our visit. The condo was well-maintained and had everything we needed. The view is the bay, from either living room or lanai. The quiet beach is right there, ready for sunrise or sunset walks. Some hints: The whole unit is on the second floor, and one bedroom and bath inside are upstairs in a loft. Paying for the laundry room is through an app, not with coins. The neighborhood is central, with its own small shopping center and short drives to either Kihei or Lahaina for more restaurants. Locally, we particularly enjoyed Johnny Heist's Pizza. Beware: Some local businesses are no longer open, even among those in the condo information book.

We had everything we needed. The unit is great and nicely decorated. The pool and BBQ area was super. The beach wasn’t great as it goes in too steep for toddlers and also there were many rocks and big waves. The central laundry room was very busy and the dryers didn’t work well. Very noisy in the mornings with people camping at the beach and lawn maintenance at 7 am.

It was perfect! This was our first time to Hawaii and it could not have been more perfect. We celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary while in Hawaii. We love the house and the location. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. I would have preferred the washer and dryer be in the home but we made it work. Thank you Lynn for sharing your wonderful home. WE will be back!!!

The condo was perfect. The pool, grounds, and ocean access were also great. The only problem we had was the homeless camp and people living in it we had to deal with. Sometime screaming, cussing, arguing, loud music was disturbing to my 81 year old mother.. But if you can shu that out, it was great!!👍

This condo was the perfect location on Maui for a base from which to explore the island. It was within walking distance to Maalaea Harbor for all our boat excursions. Awesome sand beach right out front for afternoon relaxation and snorkeling. Kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. Communication with owner and local property manager was top notch.

My very own park just out my door! Beautiful location, centrally located with thoughtful extras like beach chairs and insulated bag for that Road to Hana picnic. Hosts was super helpful. Would definitely use again.

We really enjoyed this location. End of a quiet street. Had everything we needed. We never spent much time there, just long enough to sleep and shower. Host was very responsive and we had no issues.

Condo nice but needs some TLC. Description lists washer and dryer, but it is located in another building and VERY expensive. Have to use an app.

Relaxing location. The condo had everything you needed for a great stay. Loved waking up to the ocean view from bed.

The property is located close to the airport and it was easy access to the condominium. The check in process was smooth and was fully equipped with day-to-day necessities.

I stayed here 15 years ago and promised to bring my kids back, and finally made it! It was as perfect as I remember! The location is amazing, with a long stretch of beach (my husband runs, so this was just what he needed) and the water was calm enough for a swim any time of the day! The condo was fully stocked with all we needed to feel right at home: the kitchen didn't lack for anything; we found beach chairs, towels & toys (althought our kids are older & didn't need them, it was a nice touch) & a cooler to make beaching it easy! I would HIGHLY recommend this fabulous condo, and plan to come back again...only I won't wait so long next time!

The condo was perfect for our trip. Conveniently located, right at the beach, clean, beautiful. The owner was excellent to work with and accommodated special requests with grace. We recommend checking out Maui Tropical Plantation, the FWS wildlife refuge, the ‘īoa Valley State Park, and Haleakala.
