This property was better than advertised. The location was close enough to everything we wanted, yet just far enough from everything that we could just relax. The unit was very thoughtfully furnished with everything we needed. The bed was so comfy, the kitchen had everything needed for meal and snack prep, the Bluetooth speaker system was just right and the bathroom had good quality toilet paper (my husband really appreciated that). We did spend much more time on the lanai than I would have figured we would. It was so tranquil and soothing just watching the turtles bounce around in the surf. The pool and hot tub, like the rest of the property, were clean and well kept. The town was a very few steps away and we found a few great dining options there. A shorter walk just the other way was some of the most beautiful and uncrowded stretches of beach. We were pleased to no end about renting this unit. We will be back…

Wonderful location, close to everything! This condo has the best ocean view we’ve experienced! Hostess Ahna was so nice and responsive to any questions we had. User friendly for folks with mobility needs, elevator and walk-in shower was so helpful. Hope to visit again!

Our stay was all we expected and more. It lived up to all the positive reviews and was a perfect location to get to everything we wanted to do on Maui. I would recommend this place to any friend or family member.

We rented out this place for a week and loved it. The condo is conveniently located within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and ocean tours. The lanai overlooked ocean and you can clearly see whales throughout the day. We highly recommend and would stay here again!

The trip was great. We had some small whites footed ants in the kitchen. Property manager addressed promptly.

Location was excellent for us. Easy access to the entire island. More amenities than we expected. Extremely comfortable. Best part was sitting on the lanai everyday watching the whales. The owner, Ahna, was very communicative with us and very welcoming. We have been coming to Maui for many years. This was our best stay.

My husband and I stayed here for 6 days in January for our anniversary. We had a great time! The condo was clean and cozy. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the sunrise and whales. The condo had everything we needed from kitchen appliances to beach gear. We really liked the location which allowed us to walk to the beach and the small shopping area (where the Maui ocean center is located). We felt secluded but close enough to do everything we wanted. I really appreciated the personal recommendation guide and the welcome treats. We hope to be back again someday!

Entire process from booking to check-out was easy. Communication with the owner(Ahna) was great. The unit was clean and well equipped - allowing us to enjoy breakfast every morning on the lanai - soaking up the sunrises, the amazing ocean view, and the sound of the waves. There was a Guest book loaded with instructions, useful information, recommendations and lots of restaurant ideas and menus. The bed was comfortable and we used the fans but did not need the AC during our stay. We appreciated the use of the cooler, beach towels and beach chairs when we explored the beaches. The condo is in a great location making it easy to explore anywhere on the island - and being able to walk to the Marina and Aquarium is a bonus. We would love to return some day and would not hesitate to stay at Ahna's place again. Thanks Ahna!

The location was amazing. Just a short drive to shopping and restaurants and a shorter commute to other parts of the island. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and escape from the more touristy areas. The condo was very clean, beautiful, and comfortable. I loved the view from the lanai- I could have stayed there all day listening to the waves. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed to have a very comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and cooler for trips to the beach. The condo community property was beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The pool was perfect for cooling off and we even got to see a turtle come up on the beach. We would recommend this property to others and would love to come back again in the future!

Due to an issue with the unit we were not able to get in for the first 3 days.., HOWEVER, Ahna called immediately to let us know and made other arrangements for us so we did not miss a beat on the trip. The unit was beautiful and clean, had everything we needed. The view was UNBEATABLE. So many personal and thoughtful touches. We would recommend 100%!!

Amazing ocean view and sound of crashing waves. Quiet small complex perfect for relaxation. Not much in the way of restaurants without a drive but centrally located if you like to explore other areas of the island.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. We really enjoyed the views, the turtles, the nicely maintained property, and hearing the ocean. What we really deeply appreciated, however, was how it felt like being at a home and not a hotel. From the snacks, juices, toiletries, beach accessories to the fantastic coffee beans and the over the top espresso maker. They really thought of everything. The guest experience is sensational! Our thanks to these fantastic hosts for helping us to have such a memorable, stress free anniversary.

Entire rental process was easy. Listing was accurate, communication with owner was great, unit was clean/well equipped/had amazing views right from the lanai. We sat out on the lanai for every meal we ate in the unit, enjoying the ocean, sounds of the waves, and amazing views of Haleakala. Also beautiful sunrises. The kitchen was well equipped, there were beach chairs, beach umbrella, and coolers for us to use when going to the beach. Guide books and notebook with instructions/useful information were in the unit. We had a great time and this condo is centrally located, making travel anywhere on the island easier.

Everything was as promised! The view was absolutely beautiful sunrise through sunset. All amenities such as beach items, coolers and espresso machine really made for an enjoyable stay. We also really appreciated the extra information provided by Ahna about must sees, restaurants and entertainment! We tried many of her suggestions and they were all winners! Aloha!

Ahna's place is well stocked and accommodating with everything you would need for a great Hawaiian vacation, making it a rare find! She provides well detailed instructions for everything and also a binder full of information on restaurants, excursions, etc. I loved how the condo is decorated to make you feel like you're in Hawaii. The best part, was the ocean view right from the lanai! We were there during a historic south swell, and was able to watch pro surfers catch waves and surf freight trains right from the balcony, not to mention look down at all the photographers and crowd below. Definitely would book Ahna's place again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Maui!

This condo is uniquely decorated in a quiet neighborhood central to most everything on the island. It was thoughtfully supplied with most everything we could need, and I love to cook. Even though the weather was very hot, we enjoyed the fresh ocean air and didn't need the AC. The bed was comfy. We we ate many meals on the lanai watching the turtles and the sunrises. We had such a beautiul and relaxing time.

We have stayed in this condo multiple times now, and will continue to come back. The property is perfectly located, close to towns, but out of the way of the hustle and bustle. A short walk takes to Maalaea harbor, harbor shops, and the Maui aquarium. Checking in was extremely easy, and once inside, the condo does does not disappoint. My favorite view is from the lanai, which overlooks Maalaea bay. We saw lots of turtles down in the water, and on previous trips have been able to whale watch from our seats. The views of the bay and Haleakala are amazing. The condo itself has everything you need. Full kitchen with espresso maker, stove/oven, fridge/freezer, and cooking utensils. The surfboard countertop is such a nice added touch. The air conditioning unit In the bedroom did a wonderful job keeping us cool at night. Additionally, extras such as beach chairs, towels, umbrella, ice chest, and boogie boards were a welcome surprise. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this property, and look forward to returning again soon!

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The view from the condo and lanai is unbelievable. We enjoyed it so much that we ended up spending most evenings getting take out and preparing food to eat dinner on the lanai instead of going out to nice restaurants because the view and atmosphere was just better! The condo is in a quiet area and Maalaea, while not close to anything, is centrally located to explore all the areas of Maui and wasn't a problem at all. Loved it and would certainly stay again!!!

Stayed a week in this unit and had all the comforts of home. This unit had a lot of little details that made the stay more enjoyable. Extra towels,beach equiptment,kitchen tools and equipment, comfy bed. It is noticeable that the owners of the unit want you to enjoy your stay by the upgrades that were made to the unit. Super clean and comfortable. No grim or dirty smudges anywhere. We will be back for sure.

This condo was so well appointed with everything we needed for our 3 week stay. The bed was very comfortable and we could not think of anything else they could've provided us to make it any better. Our absolute favorite vacation routine was coffee at Sunrise and drinks at Sunset on the lanai.

The condo is exactly as described. The owner and property manager were great. It is a beautiful place and perfect for us. The condo has everything you need for your stay. We enjoyed great coffee and snacks from the owner. The whales were visible each day. Maui is simply a beautiful place. We loved it! Thank you Ahna for letting us stay in your beautiful condo.

We really enjoyed staying here. The view from the lanai is beautiful. We saw whales at a distance and turtles by the rocks almost everyday. The location is great and everything you need for a great day at the beach is provided. The welcome basket and the delicious coffee is such a nice touch. Communicating with Ahna was a breeze! Everything was perfect for our first visit to Maui!

The condo was clean, comfortable and well-stocked with many thoughtful touches, including a welcome basket and beach chairs and towels. The complex is well-maintained and quiet. The best part was sitting on the balcony enjoying that beautiful view. Whales were visible in the distance and turtles visit the rocks each morning. Great stay!

The location of this quaint oceanfront condo was exactly what we were looking for! We watched the breathtaking sunrise every morning from our lanai. The long stretch of beach nearby was perfect for walks or just relaxing in the beach chairs provided. It was centrally located to access Kihei and Lahaina easily by car or Uber too. Ahna provided everything needed, excellent communication, and some wonderful welcome gifts as well. Absolutely perfect Maui vacation!!

What a wonderful place to stay. We enjoyed everything about it. So many extras you don’t normally get in a rental property. We especially loved having chairs and a cooler to take down to the beach at the end of the street. It was a treat to see turtles every morning and late afternoon right from our balcony. Instructions on everything in the condo are extremely clear, bed was very comfortable and you can’t beat the central location if you want to move around the island. Our hosts quickly responded to any questions and left tons of suggestions on things to do.

This was just so very nice - with the lanai over looking the water, the tropical breeze and turtles every day right there feeding . This a very comfy condo- perfect location as centrally located easy to get either up to Lahaina or over to Wailea and wonderfully quiet. Appreciated the coffee & welcome chocolates & macadamia nuts. The perfect place to come “home” to after a great day at the beach or exploring. Also appreciated the use of the umbrella, beach chairs & ice chests… appreciated. Can’t wait to go again ! 🌺💋

This property had excellent views! Turtles galore all day long!! The condo was clean and fully stocked. The owner even left us a wonderful surprise! Great rental!

The condo was perfect for two people. The views were absolutely stunning with turtles swimming right in front of the condo and laying on the beach daily. The condo was in a area that was not as busy which was perfect for us. Two restaurants in walking distance that were never too busy, but had amazing happy hours! We really enjoyed the five mile stretch of beach just down the road. We took our beach stuff there several times and could sit on the beach and swim all day without hardly seeing another person. It was the perfect place. We will absolutely be back!
