We had a great holiday trip. My family are big snorkelers and something about walking out the front door right to a great snorkeling spot is our thing. I loved it being on the ocean side of the highway. Also, the place itself was super nice and we all loved it. Overall 10/10.

When I booked it, the online couldnt answer simple questions about elevator and construction. but booking was great. when arrived the local front desk for Vacasa was amazing! Her name was Jessi and she helped us tremendously with an air conditioner unit not working and her customer service was excellent. She is a great asset for Vacasa.

We selected this property because it was near the stairs and on the second floor. The ease of access was wonderful, both to our car and the beach. This condo had multiple umbrellas, beach chairs, sand toys, and 3 boogie boards. The kitchen is FULLY furnished with everything we possible could have needed. We spent hours sitting on the lawn and beach, and enjoyed the sunsets. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves every night was definitely a highlight and a benefit only found in a unit like this so close to the water.

PERFECT location. Great snorkeling right off the beach! Beach chairs, boogie boards and plenty of beach towels were provided and much appreciated. Plenty of outdoor seating. A small supply of dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, etc was given. The second bedroom is definitely rented out, only reason it gets 4 stars is because we got locked out after shutting that door. Not sure why the code wasn’t changed to the main condo code. Had to call after hours line but eventually we got back in. The general store has everything including hot food which was so convenient!

After a great day driving back from the road to Hana, we were all very surprised on what a great view our condo had. The two bedrooms were far enough apart for privacy. I thought the bedroom with the sliding dividers was really cool, we gave that one to the Birthday girl, nice way to wake up, sun/surf/coffee on the porch. Lots of room for the 4 of us. The beach is calm, alot more private in this area of the island. Really fun to watch the people out surfing, surf sailing,etc. Turltes swimming by us all day. The grass area is a great place to seak shade and watch the sunset. Nice sandy beach. Sad there was no close place to eat. Walking to dinner is much more fun. But we had a car, OH yes, we were greated with a small gift. Nice touch. Hope to stay again. On a side note. Outside doors our heavy, its windy on the water, so doors do slam.

Check in was easy. We had 4 people staying in the condo my husband and I, our son, and my mom. The condo was clean. The layout is a little bit odd with one of the rooms connected to the living room so it is not very private but it works. There is plenty of storage and closet space. The bathrooms were roomy enough, The view and location is what you'er paying for. The a/c worked great and we were very happy we had it. We had 4 other groups that stayed at different condo's near us none with a/c and they all commented on how nice it was in our condo. The beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have. The kitchen is well equip with everything you'll need. There is not much space to put your food away but we made it work.

It would have been appreciated if we would have known ahead of time that the bar and restaurant were under construction during our vacation stay. Also only 1 elevator was operational. Fortunately we were on the 2nd floor so we used the stairs. The grounds were well maintained and the beach was beautiful. Everything in the condo was in good working order.

Met our expectations for sure! Very clean, plenty of extra pillows and linens. The view is fantastic - sunsets at night (at least we had that in December), amazing colors and light in the early morning. Since it's Maui, you'll have a car and there are a ton of restaurants and shopping up and down the blvd at the entrance, though you could certainly do some walking. A few important notes:
- Be aware that this is only the 2nd floor and there's likely to be the owner of the unit above you walking around. It's not super loud, but you can definitely hear anyone up there. Also, while our stay was relatively quiet, the condo doors close loudly. No worse than most any hotel or similar condo, just take note if you're a light sleeper.
- It's Hawaii - roosters are everywhere and can't tell time. Part of the charm, just know you'll hear them at any hour.
- The unit may officially be 202C, but the door just says 202 and inside, you'll only see A and B. You're there!
- The front desk was only open until about 5:30pm for the parking pass, just a heads up.
- Five Palms on the property is very expensive. We only ordered from them on our first night as it was late and we were needing easy take-out. The setting looks amazing (the condo overlooks a part of it's patio seating), but the food we had wasn't worth the price. $120 for 2 adults and 2 nine yr olds, including gratuity. They messed up the kids' orders and my $25 burger wasn't that great - maybe previously frozen, pressed tight, no sauce of any kind and pretty boring. My son's burger from the kids' menu was the EXACT same thing (just different cheese) - same size, same amount of very average fries - but $12 or so less. My wife enjoyed her green curry mahi mahi, but give this some real thought before ordering considering the price. And if you love a good burger, go for something else!
- Finally, neither bathroom had a fan (privacy, smell mitigation). Just FYI if you're loud and stinky! :)
Otherwise, we were VERY happy with our stay, the ease in working with Vacasa (property manager/owner) and their timely texts with pertinent info. Enjoy!

Location and view are definitely 5 star worthy. The pictures are accurate. We loved sitting on the balcony for breakfast with a wonderful view of the ocean. The king beds are very comfortable, We did not use the sofa sleeper so can't comment on that. The kitchen was well equipped with plates, glasses, wine glasses, utensils, pots and pans etc. The owner provided beach chairs, an insulated cooler bag which we used to bring drinks and food to the beach. The bathrooms were ample for 2 people. Extra bath towels beach towels and sheets were a plus. The furniture was dated but this did not deter us from giving a 5 star rating as we loved being so close to the beach. The place was very clean when we arrived. Vacasa called us to check in on our second day to see if everything was meeting our needs. A nice customer service touch. We went to the on-site restaurant for happy hour which had delicious drinks and food. Service was prompt. A tip for future renters: put your chairs out early in the morning to capture the spot you want on the beach. Do this again for sunset.

This unit is ideally situated, with beach only about 70 feet away and immediate access to beach via stairwell outside the door from 2nd floor. No need to wear a mask through the lobby. End unit means no foot traffic going by. Unit is well appointed with updated cabinetry and utensils. Plush linens. Nice having a restaurant and store on site. Reef to the right has wonderful snorkeling. Keawakapou beach is one of the best on Maui. I have never seen a better unit on Maui. Popular, so need to book in advance.

The property is outstanding. Great pool and ocean/beach front lawn and sand. The condo has lots of beach toys (two boogie boards, sand toys, three noodles, water balls, two sun umbrellas, etc.) and a few low beach chairs. Additional beach chaise lounge chairs are also available from the resort for free use on the lawn. The snorkeling right out front is excellent—lots of fish and lots of turtles. The waves pick up a little in the afternoon for great boogie boarding and body surfing. On site there is a small convenience store, laundry room, ocean equipment rental, and restaurant (delicious). The condo has lots of clean bath and beach towels (enough for our family of four needed for an 11-night stay). Note that you will only be provided a couple of dishwasher detergent tabs and rolls of toilet paper so will need to purchase more of those. They provided dish detergent, salt and pepper, and cooking oil. Overall this condo is excellent!
