We really enjoyed our stay. This unit is well equipped with everything we needed and more. We enjoyed borrowing the tennis racquets and beach umbrella. Only negative is that I thought it was closer to the beach, the block this unit is on backs up to a sea wall.

We loved our stay at the Hula Hideaway. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. The place was in the perfect location close to several of the best beaches in West Maui. The place itself is even more beautiful than the photos. It was so relaxing being able to call this place home for a few days. We will definitely be back!

This was a beautiful, fully equipped and super clean studio condo in Maui. Great central location convenient to everywhere on the island. The room has the most amazing views with sea turtles swimming daily right below the lenai! Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Wow just Wow! From the moment we arrived at the Hula Hideaway we felt right at home. So many thoughtful, personal touches that made the condo even more special. And that view....INCREDIBLE! We spent a ton of time just sitting out on the lanai. The condo is quiet and peaceful. We loved the location...not too busy. I’ve stayed in Kaanapali and Kihei before and hands down like Kahana the best! A quick walk to the pool and often times there was no one there, so we had it all to ourselves. Kitchen had everything we needed and more and the washer and dryer were super handy! The Hula Hideaway staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything you need is just a short walk away...beach, groceries, yummy coffee shop and restaurants. Can’t wait to come back :)

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s so comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quiet and peaceful and we felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. Not to mention the view! It’s right on the water, so I got to have my morning coffee with sea turtles and whales and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves every night. My only complaint - having to leave.

We have stayed other places on Maui & this is THE best yet! The pictures do not do it justice, you have to see for yourself what a beautiful location and property this is! Everything is so clean, perfectly stocked, and truly amazing. This is located close to beautiful beaches & our favorite restaurants we drove just minutes to. The communication from the Hula Hideaway staff was excellent, very attentive & above & beyond helpful. We just got back and are already recommending Hula Hideaway to all our friends and family. We’re planning on booking our next family vacation at one of the Hula Hideaway properties that’ll accommodate our kids. Thanks for helping make our 25th wedding celebration trip so fabulous with this gorgeous place we stayed at!!

Leading up to our stay, I'd reached out to the HH team to surprise my gf (now fiance) by decorating the unit with flowers and balloons and wine, and they absolutely nailed it. The unit had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. The sea turtles greeted us almost every morning and the whales even paid us a visit during our stay. This was easily the best experience I've had at a vacation rental. I HIGHLY recommend staying here.

My husband and I only got to stay at this great studio/condo for 2 nights and would definitely recommend for other couples! It's so clean and functional. Everything is updated and well kept! Having the ability to do laundry was awesome and the lanai / balcony had AAHHHMAZING views!

We loved everything about the Hula Hideaway! The location is great with restaurants, coffee shops and beaches all within walking distance. The views from the lanai can't be beat and it was a real treat to watch the sea turtles below. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a more laid back scene than the resorts.

The magical views from the balcony were amazing! We enjoyed the turtles, rainbows, beautiful colors of the ocean, and the sunsets daily. The beautiful decor made us feel at home and cozy for the 11 nights we were there. Communication was prompt and very friendly if needed with the owner. Small special touches like a filtered water pitcher came in handy especially for filling up our water bottles for the hikes and adventures. The washer and dryer were helpful to reduce the amount of luggage needed. Overall, it is was the perfect place to stay in Maui for our 10th anniversary celebration. When we go back (I hope soon!), we will be staying there again. I highly recommend the Hula Hideaway!

The condo was a beautiful place to relax after a few days of adventures in Hana. Has a cozy "home away from home" vibe. Great location if you want to be far from the large resorts in west Maui. Incredibly clean and well stocked with linens and beach supplies. We'll definitely be back!

This condo was absolutely beautiful, clean and organized. Everything you might ever need was included. A fully stock kitchen with more seasoning and salts than even Gordon Ramsey would’ve ever need:) We made the best steak while staying here. Tupperware, all dishes and utensils were sparkling clean! Cubes of ice were ready for us, it even had fancy ice molds for drinks and those too ready to go. The views were personally the best I’ve ever seen on my trip from the balcony and it storage unit was stocked with tennis equip. And snornkels, board and a tube we’ve added to that by leaving back some equipment we purchased :) Enough can’t be said just come stay here you can’t be disappointed!!

So clean and spacious. The level of cleanliness just tops any other rental Ive been in. The availability of beach things like snorkel equipment noodles and chairs was so helpful too. The interior decor was so pretty and there was so much storage for clothes/etc. The layout of this studio is so thoughtfully and efficiently laid out. Everything was available perfectly. I was worried if it would be a little too small when reading description but it is so spacious so whoever designed this place really has an eye for design/efficiency. All closeby like 8 min drive to the best rated beaches like kapalua bag and napili beach is a plus.

The view is so majestic it feels like your on a boat! Iv never stayed anywhere other then a boat where your so close to the water! We watched the turtles every morning with our coffee. How much better can it get!? The beach chairs, cooler, umbrellas all really high quality and fantastic! The bed so comfortable I didn’t want to get up in the morning!! Even the linen is beautiful! I can’t say enough about this fantastic rental. My only complaint is that it’s not mine!!! 😂😂 thank you Jill!!

We booked the HulaHideaway last minute after a terrible experience at a nearby “resort”. This place SAVED our honeymoon!! It was beautiful, clean, and probably one of the most well kept vacation rentals I have EVER stayed in. In addition, we saw turtles from the deck every morning and were even able to snorkel with them one day! I cannot recommend this place enough and we will definitely be staying here again if we come back to Maui.

As we already have our dates booked for 2023, I will share my 5 star review !!! This place was exactly as seen in the pics. We slept great in the very comfortable king bed. It was nice and dark outside as it is directly on the ocean, so could sleep with no curtains drawn, allowing g us to wake around 7:00 to beautiful dawn skies. Saw many whales and turtles from the balcony. Loved our time here.

We are repeat renters. HulaHideaway was so perfect before the renovation that I wondered how it could possibly be better. I was even a bit concerned I would not like the "new" place. What a surprise! It is updated, with a gorgeous new bath, kitchen, and floors. It is pristine, ultra clean, and absolutely beautiful. We love eating breakfast and dinner out on the lanai to enjoy sunrises, sunsets, surfers, sea creatures and beauty beyond compare. We could not get onto internet because of a change in sign-in and the management team arrived immediately and promptly took care of the problem. Everything about arrival, check-out, and the entire stay was effortless and perfect beyond description.

We have stayed at rental properties across the world… at this price point, NOTHING COMPARES. The views are simply remarkable! We saw a pod of dolphins one morning, a whale at sunset, a sea turtle mid-day while working from the balcony (the wifi was wonderful). This rental has more than you would expect in regards to laundry detergent, dish soap, beach towels, etc. On the mainland, I sleep on average 3-5 hours a night and slept a solid 8 hours a night because you have a real life sound machine soundtrack outside of your doors. The bed was a delight! Best of luck ever leaving the balcony :)

This is the most romantic suite we have ever stayed at, perfect for our 20th wedding anniversary celebration along with my honey surprising me with a wedding vow renewal in Mama’s Fish House beach. From the booking of this property to our last day, it was so easy and pleasant. The room is even more stunning in person than the pictures, a huge balcony with turtles below galore. Everything you could possibly need have been provided. The communication with the Hula Hideaway staff was stellar. Very professional and courteous. This was our first time in Maui and definitely will not be the last. Special shout at to A local girl’s guide to Maui, Donna’s recommendations in this guide were spot on.

The bathroom was also very modern and had all the utility items we would need. The kitchen is small but honestly had every utensil we needed (they even gave us some welcome candy). Extremely clean and well maintained, smart tv, air con and high speed wifi. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. the view is breathtaking!

This was the first leg of our Maui stay and it was perfect - cozy, clean and decorated beautifully. We absolutely loved waking to see whales off the balcony while enjoying coffee and breakfast sitting in the cool breeze. Sunsets were amazing! The location was perfect for us as it was on the quieter side of Lahiana and was within walking distance of Whaler's General Store and the Maui Brewing Company restaurant. There was no elevator that we could find and being on the 3rd floor although beautiful just watch how much luggage you bring. Their is a washer and dryer which we faithfully use and knowing that we didn't bring our entire closet :-) She provides beach equipment, snorkel gear and plenty of towels. The kitchen had everything you would need and we cook 60% of our meals so it was nicely outfitted. Know as well the views in the pictures online really do look like that - when you are on the balcony it's water all around, they are not just angled to look like that.
Last thing - this in our opinion is for couples only. If you have kids that run around the below neighbors may not be keen on that as the floors might be a little thin for noise. My husband plays guitar - Bounty Music will rent you a guitar for the week - and he is a toe tapper and didn't realize he might have been loud and we got a knock about noise.
Overall - we would totally come back! Thank you for a wonderful 4 nights!

I loved this space! Well priced, beautiful ocean views including several active humpback whales, turtles, surfer and more. The kitchen was well stocked with utilities, coffee maker...etc. After reading others' reviews about the bed being too soft I was a bit worried. HOWEVER, I found it to be extremely comfortable--I tend to be a lit sleeper especially in new places, but sunk right in and didn't move all night, it was lovely. Although the photos of this space were nice, we found the space to be more beautiful in person especially the lanai, no fancy hotel can bet that view!! We were very sad to leave. We highly recommend this space.

We really enjoyed our time here!
The unit is on the third of three floors, with the first floor for parking. We received a designated parking spot underneath the building.
The place was nicely furnished/decorated with a relaxing vibe, and a studio open concept. Kitchen was well appointed, and we appreciated the washer/dryer. The pool was pleasant. Beaches nearby, and a small one through a property maybe a 100 yards north.
Of prime importance to us was the balcony, which was expansive and directly overlooking (almost overhanging) the ocean. Table & chairs, plus 2 comfortable lounge chairs made this a relaxing spot. The weather allowed us to keep the large patio sliding door open, but the screen door kept out any bugs. The windows in the door by the kitchen allowed a good breeze through the place. The sound of the sea at night was priceless.
There was room for improvement though:
- The bed was super soft. No problem for us, but likely for some
- The lighting and switches were less than intuitive. We resorted to unscrewing some bulbs.
- We second a previous review related to the tinkling of the light by the A/C unit. Though we used the A/C little.
But, those are nits. We'd stay there again in a minute.

The location of this property is terrific. It's not in the middle of a resort - which we definitely did not want - and there are bars, restaurants, small groceries with surprising selections of items all within a short walk. Kahana is surrounded by nice beaches, which we found rarely crowded in any way (possibly time of year - we were there first week in October 2016). The snorkeling right off the beaches is unbelievable. We paid for a snorkeling tour and didn't see anywhere near the variety of fish, and not one turtle, that we saw at any beach within 5 miles in either direction of the unit. The unit itself is lovely, as everyone has noted. The bed is very comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, the views of Molokai and Lana'i awesome. The variety of amenities - both indoors and outdoors - are very thoughtful. And I can't possibly say enough about the sea turtles! It's so much fun to just sit on the lanai with a cocktail and watch them float towards the sea wall shopping for dinner! The only reason I wouldn't give this rental a 5 is the ventilation. When we opened the door to the unit upon arrival, we were blasted with stiflingly hot air, even though the a/c unit was set to 60. We spent the first 3 days trying to figure out the "system" of what to open, and when, to get an actual breeze moving. I even downloaded an ambient air app to make sure it wasn't all in my head! Getting air moving usually required leaving the front door open - not just the vents - with the back sliding doors wide open. After a few nosey peeks from neighbors we decided to stop leaving the front door open! When the temperature leveled out, the unit was almost completely perfect. The sliding glass doors and screens are a wee bit tricky, but the screens pop right back in place and the doors can be conquered. Overall we had a thoroughly lovely time, much based on this little jewel! Hope to be back in the future! Thanks, Jill!

We had a great experience- the condo was excellent, beautiful decor, gorgeous view from balcony, and very clean! Great communication with Jill/owner. Also, very thoughtful inclusion of the little things you might want during a beach stay. Well appointed kitchen had everything we needed. We'll be back!

This property is absolutely amazing. We were excited by just the pictures, but when we walked in we were blown away. The first thing that I said walking in was about how clean the room was. The second thing was the view of the ocean that is so close in front of you! This property also comes with everything you could need; coolers, snorkel gear, water shoes, football, beach chairs, mats, boogie boards, a kitchen that is packed with every dish and gadget you could need, a COMFORTABLE king size bed, and so much more. Jill really makes this property feel like a home away from home and was wonderful to work with, making it all so easy for us! Sitting out on the lanai was our most favorite thing to do. You can't beat the view and we spent hours watching the sunsets and the turtles below. I could write about this property and our amazing honeymoon for hours, but I will just say that you will not be disappointed staying here. We would recommend this property to everyone and will definitely be back here soon to stay longer!

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip to Maui. Apon arrival I instantly felt welcome and at home, it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. We saw a turtle within a minute of going outside. Exactly as pictured and described. We took many walks to close by restaurants and beaches. Our favorite thing was to watch the sunset at evening and just enjoy the view. Thank you Jill for all your hospitality we cannot wait to return!

My wife and I booked this condo for our honeymoon and omg it was so much better than we imagined. We absolutely loved the view! It really did feel like we were almost on a boat or a cruise or something because the water was right there from every view. It was amazing being so close and being able to have doors open for cross breeze but still have complete privacy. Not only that the sea turtles were everywhere and we loved falling asleep to ocean waves as well as the soft jingle of the shell lamp. We loved it so much I'm going to order ourselves one to always remind us of those beautiful Maui nights. We will for sure be back!

I had a great vacation. The unit is really top notch, exactly as described. Very convenient and has everything you need.
The ocean facing balcony is a nice touch - it's really nice to watch the sunset!
Location is very convenient, minutes from shops, restaurants and beaches. 5 minutes to napili and Kapalua, 10 minutes to Kaanapali. Also a few places in walking distance.
Jill was very helpful in everything.
I would definitely recommend this property.
Hope to be back next year!

From the moment we walked in we just totally loved the place, the location and it is "Right on the ocean" !
We can not wait to return! We plan to come back to Maui in 2018 and will be looking at this property first !
The place was so clean and the place just made our trip so relaxing ! The lanai was so amazing !
As we were there, coming up the steps, the neighbors were coming down. They asked about the place for next year and we invited them in to look. And they loved it also !
Truly can not wait to come back there !

We absolutely loved our stay! The view alone is worth it. We saw the most amazing sunsets, whales breaching, turtles swimming by, and many sailboarders. The location was perfect as well, close to many tasty and reasonable restaurants, excursions, and beaches. We slept so well - the bed is so comfortable and being able to hear the ocean was incredible!! This was a perfect getaway for our anniversary!!

We stayed here for the first week of our Hawaiian Honeymoon and couldn't have been happier! The condo was decorated beautifully and we were beyond impressed - usually rental properties tend to have outdated and rather bland decor, but not Hula Hideaway! The location was great - about a 5-7 minute drive to Lahaina for fun shopping and great food. We ate in several times as well and the condo had everything we needed, which was wonderful. There were even beach towels, snorkeling equipment, mats, and coolers. Though there isn't a great beach at the property (it's not necessary since the view is so amazing and you are close to everything), the view from the lanai is stunning and we made it a point to get home every night to watch the sunset and look at the sea turtles that congregated right near the water!
Not only do I love Maui, but I really loved staying at Hula Hideaway and would return in a heartbeat! Though we did so many wonderful things on the trip, we would definitely recommend a trip to Honoula Bay for snorkeling, Slaughterhouse Beach, Big Beach, Olivine Pools, Road to Hana, and a sunset/sunrise at Haleakala. Close by is Java Jazz Cafe and we ate there for breakfast several times (the Huevos Rancheros was incredible) and Maui Brewing Company is an easy walk too (all of the beers were great but we were a bit obsessed with the Volcano Tater Tots with chorizo) Yum!
No need to look any further, you'll love Hula Hideaway :)

As soon as we opened the door, our jaws dropped! We couldn't believe how perfect everything looked. Oh, and that bed!! So comfortable! Everything was so nice! We got to see so many turtles and whales! We had a rainbow every morning as we looked out into the ocean. It was just breathtaking. I tried to explain how beautiful everything was but it just doesn't do any justice. Even my hairdresser and makeup artist couldn't believe how nice Hula Hideaway was! You just have to visit Hawaii to see for yourself! I highly recommend this perfect honeymoon studio! Looks the same in photos!
Jill, thank you so much for everything! When we had to leave, I just wanted to cry! I had just an amazing time there. I know for a fact when we celebrate one of our anniversaries, we will definitely be back and hopefully we can stay at Hula Hideaway again!!

Can't wait to return! Loved the location and the building and of course the VIEW! The turtles and the whales were unbelievable! Our entire stay was beyond our best expectations! Book Hula Hideaway right now!!

We just came back from staying in this incredible condo and looking at the pictures makes me want to go back right away! Seriously, a wonderful place to hang out while enjoying Maui and beyond a doubt the BEST place to watch sea life! We had a whale completely breach only 150 yards from our balcony within 25 minutes of arriving! Talk about a great 'welcome'. :)
Condo is exactly as the pictures show and is located in a nice area to hit shops, groceries and gas. Bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and classy. Lots of water toys provided and everything was conveniently stocked.
TOTALLY AWESOME!! We'd stay in it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to all our friends. :)
Cons: It is 3 stories up and no elevators so if you can't do stairs that would be a problem. Also, no bed for little ones to sleep in but honestly...DON'T BRING THEM! Its too romantic of a spot to bring the kiddo's! LOL

We stayed here for a week in March and loved every second of it! The condo is ideally situated to view the whales. Within 25 minutes of arriving we saw a whale completely breach just 150 yards from the balcony! What a great welcome to us! :) We constantly could see whales while relaxing on the comfortable loungers and sea turtles frequently swam right up to the sea wall under the balcony for easy viewing as well. One afternoon we watched 5 of them feeding for over 30 minutes.
The balcony is totally private (unless you have a somebody in the water directly in front of it) and we enjoyed every evening watching the sunset and drinking our own mai tai mix. :) Pictures are very accurately portrayed on the site.
The owner was great to work with and very attentive but not obnoxious...she checked in with us via email/text. The location is very convenient to grocery stores, shopping and gas. There is a beach access right next to the building and a hose to shower off with before going up to the condo as well. The condo was stocked with all the water toys you could need, the kitchen was nicely furnished and the bed was comfy. Very nice place for a couple to relax and hang out for a vacation!! Highly recommend!

Look no further for the perfect spot in Maui. If you love the sound of surf, beautiful sunsets and a ideal spot to watch the whales and the sea turtles make your reservation now. A very comfortable, relaxing and clean studio with everything you need for a wonderful visit. Close to nearby beaches and restaurants. Jill thanks for everything plus the quick responses when we had questions. Already booked for next year!!!

MY husband and I choose Hula Hideaway as our honeymoon destination. We couldnt have picked a better place! It is EXACTLY how it appears in all the gorgeous photos, but BETTER! We absolutely loved everything about the space, it was so comfortable and goregous. Everything you need is right here in this condo! Beautiful, clean, and the perfect romantic getaway! We witnessed whales breaching right off the lanai as well as sea turtles everyday!Jill is wonderfully easy to get a hold of and VERY VERY professional. We recommend it a thousand times over! ITS A MUST DO!!

The Hula Hideaway was exactly as expected + more from the photos. The view as soon as you walk in is breathtaking, feels like you're surrounded by water. Kitchen is a good size for two people, with nice granite countertops. Bed is extremely comfortable & we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. Jill was great to deal with & responded quickly, even had a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts waiting for us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again, the price is totally worth it. Only downfall is the pool is on the other side of the street and there isn't a beach right out front, but there's one within walking distance and so many close by it didn't bother us at all! Overall, great place to stay for our honeymoon.

Hi Jill, just wanted to thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful Condo! The location was perfect, close to shopping, beaches, great restaurants, and still so quiet and peaceful a night with just the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep! The décor of the Condo is very tastefully done and that Ocean view was fantastic and the sunsets were just breath taking. Everything you could want is provided in the Condo to make you feel right at home right down to our adopted pet fish "Freddie"! Wes and I waited a long time for this trip(as you know) and it didn't disappoint, we came home with great memories and very relaxed. Thank you Jill for all that you did to make this possible for us(you know what I mean), we will be back one day, and look forward to staying in your little peace of paradise!

This was my first time to Maui. Wow! This condo has a great view of Lanai and Molokai. Its right above the water and feels very private. You hear the waves at all the time which are very peaceful. The condo is well kept and the owner is a great person to do business with. It's also within walking distance of the Maui Brewing Company!! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great time in Maui.

Sorry for the late review but Hi Ho , Hi Ho, it's back to work we had to go :(
I wish we could keep this little place a secret but when driving up to the unassuming little condo, doesn't look fancy. But wait for it~~you will be so glad you booked here..
Just the privacy and ocean balcony.. you are all alone in your wonderful bit of paradise as soon as you open the door. Jill was very helpful and lots of of space in this condo to really feel like home away from home. All you need is there, washer , dryer, swim gear, nice little beach just next door through the neighboring complex.
Everything is super close by. Stop by Food land on your way to get the best Poke .. Grocery store just a few min down the road and very convenient store at the gas station around the corner. Big selection of good deals on last minute souvenirs that you may need to find.
If its open, book.. forget the hotels,, this is it! Roll your car right under the covered parking stall,,,perfect.. only thing for those who may be less mobile, if you can't walk up three small flights of stairs,, there is no elevator. The walk up just makes paradise so much worth it.. Couldn't wait to race back to the room every evening just to watch the magnificent sunsets right on your own patio.. I still am in awe of the photos we took. Next time I hope we're able to visit during Whale season. Mahalo Jill for the hospitality:)
