Great location, away from the people and car/motorcycle noise. Beautiful view of the water. We loved sitting out on the balcony, enjoying some wine and listening to the waves.

My fiancée and I stayed here for 4 days and we really enjoyed the place. The view is amazing and you will never get tired of it looking at it any time of the day. The place was super clean, check in instructions were clear and easy, and everything you need from cleaning supplies to beach chairs are provided. Super awesome place and host seemed thoughtful because of everything that was provided. Highly recommend!

Overall the condo perfectly met my needs. It was well stocked and clean. It could use a little deep cleaning, but so can my house. The AC kept the condo cool enough for March temperatures, but in summer it might be difficult to cool the entire unit comfortably for some people. The location was ideal for me and the excursions I had planned. It was easy to drive into Kihei and Paia for meals, shopping and to start the Road to Hana trip or the drive to Haleakala summit. A few of my favorite places to eat were Kihei Cafe, Paia Fish Market, Three’s Bar and Grill, Seascapes there in Maalaea Harbor, Monkeypod, Kihei Food trucks, Huli Huli Chicken at Koki Beach, Moose McGillicuddy's and Hana Farms. The real star of this condo is the view. It is absolutely amazing. During whale season you can see whales breaching and smacking their fins on the water all throughout the harbor. Be sure to bring binoculars and definitely plan to do the whale tour with PackWhale Foundation in Maalaea Harbor.

We had an amazing week staying in this beautiful condo. The location was very central and easy to reach from the airport. Walking access to many amenities and the ocean center. The host Michelle is very helpful and responsive to any questions. Looking forward to returning.

Great property on the harbor. Came to see the whales at Maui and they did not disappoint. Loved watching them in the harbor. Condo is walking distance to whale and snorkeling tours, aquarium, restaurants, and shops. The central location on the island is perfect. It is a quiet area but close to everything. The condo was well equipped and had beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, and towels. Lovely condo and owners just a text away.

This condo worked for what we needed. We loved the location and took the short drive to Kihei/Wailea many many times. The condo itself has been updated and the view of Haleakala to the east and Maalaea Bay was gorgeous off our private balcony. Unfortunately, the condo needed a thorough deep clean. There was significant amount of dirt on the walls and the cabinet faces and cabinets themselves were filthy. We didn't notice at first, but it seemed as though between guests they only do a brief, surface clean. Overall, we did enjoy this condo, the view, and the updates that have been done to it; although would have appreciated it being slightly cleaner

We had a great stay, very comfortable and relaxing. The location was great, in a less crowded area but easily accessible to most parts of the island. The condo was quiet and plenty of room for two people. The lanai had a great view of the water and had plenty of space. The pool was nice as well. The owner was very responsive when we had a broken hair dryer, which was dealt with the sane day. The only minor issue was the air conditioning, which is a small unit in the main room. It is an old unit and doesn't really help with the bedroom...on hot days, it could be a bit uncomfortable. Overall, however, i would highly recommend this condo for a nice Maui stay.

Perfectly clean unit! Just like the pictures, lovely view from the balcony, updated decor! Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking appliances (coffee pot, blender, pots and pans, etc). The bed was comfortable (pullout couch not so much!). AC unit worked, but was struggling a bit and very loud. We ended up keeping the curtains closed for the afternoons and whenever we were out of the condo to help keep it cooler. Location is wonderful! Quiet area with a dead end street. The condo units do not have a beach, it is all rock, except for a small sand stretch surrounded by rocks where the sea turtles come to the beach at night. This was really cool to see, at least 15 turtles came up every night to rest there. Condo is within a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous public beach, Haycraft Park, that was so nice, huge, and not a bunch of people. Also a 5 minute walk to the Maui Aquarium, which was great for our last day. Pool and hot tub are small but clean...but a heads up for those with kids. The hours are from 9AM to 9PM, and no jumping, no games, etc allowed in the pool at all. Would absolutely stay here again!

The listing was very accurate concerning the view, it really was stunning. Condos are well maintained for the most part especially for being older, no complaints there. I feel like the condo was represented well in the photos, it’s small but it was equipped with what we needed. The beach chairs, umbrella, towels and coolers were perfect! We wanted a quiet location away from the touristy stuff and this was perfect. Tante’s was a great restaurant perfect for feeding our tired and hungry selves upon arrival. Very close by. This may or may not matter to you but it technically comes with A/C and the living room stays ok for the most part but it does not reach the bedroom which was problematic for sleep. We could not find a way to open the windows and the fans offered little assistance. Do not do laundry at night, it heated the place up like an oven. The washer was also having fits starting and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get my couple of loads done. The living room fan and TV turned off for no apparent reason and it took almost an hour to get them back. Seemed like a short maybe, we tried reaching out to host but never got a response, ever… Overall it was fine for us because we are hardly ever at our unit when we travel. Biggest reason to stay…the view. Biggest reason not to stay, AC doesn’t reach bedroom.

This is a great condo at a midpoint between Kihei and Lahaina which made it easy to get to either town. There is a nice beach just a few minutes walk down the road. Plenty of activities nearby such as the aquarium and mini golf. And not to mention a spectacular view of the ocean from the room!

We enjoyed staying at the property. Great view. The condo was very well equipped. The only issue was that when we arrived the room was not prepared., Sheets and towels were in the washer and dryer. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned including the shower. Disappointed after a 13 hr journey and arriving late a 11pm. We cleaned the place in the morning and notified the property Manager who responded quickly and apologetically and advised cleaning person had an emergency day before and couldn’t clean the place. Property Manager reimbursed the cleaning fee and provided a 50.00 credit. Cleaning person was sent right away.

Unit is lovely. Quiet, clean and everyone is so warm. The unit does not have extras, like guidebooks, boogie boards, shampoo. We have been to Maui before, so welcoming package not as necessary

My husband and I loved this property. It was in a quieter neighborhood of the island, but only took 10-20 minutes to get into the next town. The views were phenomenal. The condo was stocked with everything you need for the beach - towels, chairs, coolers and even a big umbrella.


Norma W.
May 2023
This location was ideal for touring the island. It also had everything we needed and having the turtles to watch every evening was outstanding!


David V.
May 2023
We chose to stay here based on the ocean, front view, and proximity to the other parts of the island we wanted to explore. Space was very clean and comfortable, with the beautiful ocean view right off the balcony. We were really happy with the location, as we traveled to all parts of Maui.


Tracey R.

This condo was just what we were looking for! All the necessities for spending the day at the beach and great views from the lanai for morning coffee! The whales and turtles were fun to watch!


Kevin G.
April 2023
The property was wonderful, just as pictures show. We loved watching the whales in the morning as the sun was rising. We had a great time, easy access to everything. The area is quiet with plenty of parking. We felt safe, no issues at all. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.

The condo is everything it’s advertised to be, super cute and has a great ocean view where we could watch sooo many whales from the lanai.


Shari B.

Nice location. Would be nice if there was a clock in the condo. The microwave does not keep accurate time. A few more pot lids would be nice. Thanks

The property was just what I was looking for...a lovely place to watch whales right from our lanai. It was very nicely decorated and furnished and very well equipped.I appreciated that it was in a peaceful area, away from the crowded cities and congested tourist areas. The location was ideallly located in the middle of the island, just right for exploring in either direction. We'd love to stay here again!



January 2023
The view is breathtaking from the back balcony. Awesome for whale watching! Condo was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!


Laurie C.
January 2023
Had an amazing stay, thank you for sharing your wonderful condo. The third floor balcony provided a fabulous view of the bay...morning sunrises were amazing! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed including coolers for that roadtrip to Hana, beach chairs/ and umbrellas for beach days, nothing left unthought of. Would love to stay again in the future.

Thank you Great views of Ocean activity - boats - turtles - swimmers

The unit is furnished with great taste e it's super well equipped with everything you could need for you stay. The location is perfect if you want to explore the island staying in a single place (as we did for the 5 days of our stay). The shoreline in front of the condo is not so suitable for swimming, but you can see many (many !) sea turtles just close to the bbq area or at the tiny beach at west side of the property. Pool and hot tub are nice and enjoyable.

My 16 year old daughter and I stayed here for a week. I can not say enough about the property. It was super clean, well located, quiet, easy to get into and comfortable. The owner had so many things that a hotel would not have. I totally give it 5 stars. The only improvements that would make our stay better are a nice bigger coffee cups, and room darkening shades on the balcony I had trouble sleeping on the sofa bed because there are bright lights outside that I could not block out.

This was the first time my husband and I have ever really taken a vacation. The first time I’ve ever been to Maui. The condo was amazing. The location was perfect! Can’t wait to come back again next year!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It had everything you may need to cook and live comfortably. The location was quiet and about a 20 min drive to restaurants. Overall, we had a great stay!


Dorothy and Chris A.

The condo was very clean and extremely well equipped with kitchen utensils as well as beach gear. The beach is a short walk away, but it is not among the nicest beaches. The sand at the entrance has some large rocks and it drops off fast. Not good for snorkeling. The best beaches (there are many) are about 10 miles away in Kihei. The Maui Ocean Center and all the boat tours that leave from Ma'alaea Harbor are walking distance from the condo. You will need a car to stay here because the closest food store is a few miles away. There is only one restaurant nearby that serves both lunch and dinner. It is not fancy, but be sure you have a reservation.

Location is perfect. Views are perfect. Steps away from the beach. Communication with property manager was great. Condo is fully equipped with all that we needed including beach chairs. You will love staying here for your vacation. If we visit Maui again we’ll definitely be booking again.

The common property was a little dated-but kept up very well! The parking lot needs repaved, but pool area was very well kept. We loved the 1/4 mile walk to beach and walk ability to harbor restaurants! We took advantage of our central location and enjoyed both Lahaina and Wailea. The condo itself was perfect for us! It was just like the picture! The view beautiful and decor modern and clean feeling ! Very nice washer & dryer.

they spent eight nights here and we could not have asked for a better location, experience or view! The condo is even more beautiful and clean than pictured and well appointed. We utilized a full-size fridge, coffee pot, washer and dryer, snorkeling gear and beach chairs which were all incredibly helpful. We loved the location and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.

Great accommodations! My wife spent most of her time on the lanai watching whales, and they put in quite the show. It was our second stay and we will be back again.

This was a lovely little condo! It was beautifully done on the inside, furnishings were modern and comfortable, kitchen was updated and completely stocked, and the bed was clean and comfortable. The owner was easily reached, wonderful to deal with, and more than accommodating! The view was fabulous and whales were everywhere! We have been to Maui many times and my wife said this was the best place we have ever rented! Thank you so much for making our stay on the island so great! We'll be back!

This condo was perfect for the 2 of us. Nice, clean, direct oceanfront with a pool. Small condo complex so very few people and no kids running around. Had a small issue with the washer and the owner was super responsive. Definitely will stay again!

The unit was very clean and had everything that was needed. The only thing missing was could be a tv in the bedroom.


Kustav S.
January 2022
The owner was always prompt in responding to my messages. Easy check-in process and the unit was pretty well equipped including laundry, beach towels & chairs. The view outside the balcony was beautiful. The AC is located in the living and doesn't quite reach the bedroom, however, the fans will keep you cool. The bed was also rather stiff but other than that this unit is perfect for couples!


Kay H.
December 2021
Only downside was the limited pool access, but you are also right near a beach access point (not swim safe). Small window AC unit was only cooling, and that was bearable because the weather was low temps/rainy; would’ve been HOT during warmer temps, especially in the bedroom. Overall a great stay!!


Alex O.
October 2021
Everything was great about the property itself. The only downside is there isn't much around the property as far as stores or restaurants so you do have to drive everywhere. That being said, with it's overall central location, it is convenient to get to different towns as well as the airport. Nothing is more than 25 minutes away on the island. We really enjoyed our stay and loved waking up to the amazing view every day.

Wonderfully appointed property with a spectacular view! Had everything we needed and was a short drive to all the “must see” things to do. Would definitely stay there again!


Terri D.

Gorgeous view from the lanai. MANY sea turtles in front of the property frolicking in the surf. Nice amenities. You need a car because not much walkable and no Uber eats available but that wasn't a problem for us as we rented a car. Very nice property. Couldn't have asked for more.


Alan B.

We thoroughly enjoyed this condo which had an updated open kitchen facing the beautiful view. Lots of storage space and a great layout that made the most of a small condo, just perfect for two people. We loved pretending it was ours for a week!


Geoffrey W.
September 2021
The Owner provided a lot of equipment (beach chairs/towels, etc) which was really great to have on hand! She was also very good at responding to any issues. For example the refrigerator break down, she immediately sent a technician who repaired it, and she also gave us a discount even without our asking. Location is fantastic, easy to get to places all over the island. One thing that surprised us was how windy it was! Especially at night, if there was a pleasant breeze outside but inside the bedroom it sounded like a wild hurricane! Be prepared for that during the windy season. (Some of the time it was not windy at all.) Cleaning between guests was not perfect; for example under the bedroom table we found some dust as well as a used facemask. But overall no problem.

This spot was everything we were hoping it to be. Recently renovated, incredible view (could see green sea turtles from our balcony most days). Easy check in and out and amazing provided amenities, everything you need for a great day at the beach, which is just a 5 minute walk!

July 2021
The place was clean and the view was beautiful. The location has a few good restaurants and a putt putt course and the Maui Ocean Center nearby. Other than that there’s not much to do, but we enjoyed being in between Lahaina and Wailea and the drive to either place is nice. My only issue was that it was too hot to sleep in the bedroom at night, so we would sleep on the pullout couch in the living room where the air was cooler but we didn’t mind. I would stay here again.


Sharon D.
June 2021
We had a lovely stay at this well appointed, recently renovated property. This property is extremely clean and well organized and has everything a family needs to enjoy a holiday vacation. Location is excellent being at the center of the island with easy access to the Kihei. The views stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed Our stay. We would strongly recommend anyone staying at this property has a car so they can take it advantage of nearby markets and pizzas with her

My boyfriend and I worked remote from here for 1 week and loved our stay. Highlights of the condo include: Super clean, beautiful ocean-facing views, no issues with wifi, and in-unit washer/dryer. Owners provided basic cooking and cleaning supplies, where we also appreciated the beach gear. There isn't too much to do or eat around this location, but it is situated nicely in the middle where Kihei is ~15-30 min drive, Lahaina is ~25 min, and Waikulu/Airport is ~15 min drive. The reason why we didn't rate this as an exceptional experience overall was due to the building maintenance which is not Michelle's fault, where pest control came but there were multiple large dead bugs in the hallway and in front of the door for the week that we were there. Aside from that, this is a super lovely and renovated condo!



June 2021
We had a great week here. Everything we needed was just a few minutes away. The beach was easy to walk to, and we even saw sea turtles a couple of nights. I just wish the air conditioner would've been cooler. It was too hot to sleep in the bedroom, but that was ok because the bed was so hard. We ended up sleeping on the pull out the rest of the time. Other than that, it was perfect. This wasn't enough to even slightly put a damper on our trip. Great place!

We are SO happy we went with Michelle's property for our honeymoon. The view is exactly what it looks like (incredible) and it's modern, clean and perfect. The deck is private and you don't see your neighbors. The condo had all the dishes in the kitchen you would need and some items from past people which was super nice. It's a good idea to go to the condo first to see what you need, there's a Walmart 10 minutes away (by the airport). We loved having beach towels, cooler, chairs and ice packs provided and free parking. Thank you for a wonderful stay!


Laura H.
July 2019
Greatly enjoyed having our coffee on the lanai, while watching the many honu that were surfing the waves everyday directly in front of the condo. Michelle was extremely helpful when the Bush fires were happening, and showed great concern and did everything in her power to make the situation better.


Vicki N.
June 2019
The condo was as shown in the listing. The view off the balcony was gorgeous. The pool was clean and easy to access for quick swims in the morning or night. Our 5 yr old loved it. Overall, our family had a wonderful time at this location.

We loved our time here in Maalaea! It was the perfect spot out of the hustle and bustle yet close enough to go enjoy what Maui has to offer!

Michelle’s condo was exactly as described. The view is amazing. I spent a good portion of my vacation on the balcony watching the sea turtles. The condo is stocked with everything you need for a pool day or a beach day. I would definitely book again. Five stars! Thanks, Michelle!

Staying here enhanced our time in maui. The condo was clean ,decor was up to date and bed was very comfortable. Seeing the ocean everyday from our lani was breath taking. There were turtles right in front of our beach! This condo building has well kept grounds, clean pool and really all around a great place to stay. It is a bit far from our favorite beach and places to eat, but worth it. Truly its right in the middle of every direction you may want to visit. Oh ya and there was a continual breeze which is an asset with the HI heat. There was a glitch during our stay, which was not taken care of , but because we loved it here do much, i still give it 5 stars

My husband and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary in Maui. This condo location was in just the right spot and it was just the right size for the 2 of us. Pictures are accurate. Appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels and lunch bag for our outings. Even though we were here the last week of April, we saw whales playing one morning from our balcony.


Lisa S.

This newly renovated condo was the perfect place for me and my husband to stay. This was our first time to Maui and this place had it all!

Michelle is wonderful and very helpful. The location is very easy to get to with great restaurants you can walk to. I loved the deck and spent many hours looking at whales, jumping fish and sea turtles. Would rent again in a heartbeat.
