This unit has the most spectacular million dollar views from the 6th floor!!!! Just steps away from the beach and pool. A dream come true!! Unit was very clean, decorated well, all amenities provided including beach/pool items like towels, blankets, snorkel equipment and beach chairs. Location was great. Close to restaurants, groceries, beaches and roads to get around the island. Restaurants and groceries close by. We never cooked in the unit but everything was provided. Host was a great communicator and respectful and timely. The only negative for this time of year… there is no AC. That was our fault for not looking at the listing better. Depending on when you vacation, it may make a difference to you. We went in July… Warm and very windy season. In the evening, we opened the front and back doors so the wind could blow thru and cool off. Thankfully our daughter was in another unit with AC so we spent some time there but it really didn’t affect us much. Highly recommend this unit !!! I’d love to go back!!!

Such a beautiful place to stay. You can clearly see the sunset from the balcony or take a walk down the beach. Everything was perfect.

This place was seriously amazing, from the views to the amenities. I could not describe the joy I felt just walking in to the vrbo. Me and my wife loved it and the view was out of this world. You can’t see things like that in a city. Would recommend and will book again!!

This beach front unit was wonderful and in a great location on South Kihei Road. Access by elevator to the unit on the top floor of the building. The kitchen was equipped with everything you might need. This a great place for a couple.

Was a great home base to come back to after days of exploring Maui! Always a lovely view of the water in a quieter part of Kīhei.

Breathtaking view, close to town, and facilities were great. We really enjoyed cooking on the community grills (they were spotless) and taking walks on the beach. Great amenities provided like beach chairs and coolers.

Great place to stay. Has everything you need for trips to the beach (towels, coolers, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc). Beautiful ocean view and can whale watch right from the balcony! Condo was clean and the host was helpful and quick to respond to our inquiries. Can't wait to visit again!

This condo was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The view was heavenly. The first couple days were stormy and windy. I can't think of a better place to be during a Hawaii storm.

We booked this apartment for the sunset view, and it delivered 100%. On top of that, the place was filled with everything we might need to take full advantage of the location: beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, body boards. The apartment was clean and comfortable, with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. We left the bedroom door open to get a cross breeze at night which made up for the lack of a/c.

View! View! View! The sunset view is exceptional. It was very clean and everything was in a good condition. The host promptly responded to all questions. The internet was fast. It became erratic for a couple of days but it wasn’t the host’s fault at all. For parking, one should go to the office and register to ensure that nothing unfortunate happens.

Wonderful place to stay in Maui! So easy to get in and out in every direction and so close to Safeway grocery store and other places. Condo was super cozy and clean! Condo is updated and has everything you need to make your vacation one to remember. Additionally, the communication with owner was excellent!

October 2025
NO A/C!!!!Nice little place.Had everything we needed.Location was great.I did not see that there was no a/c anywhere in the listing.I feel like a/c should be standard wherever you decide to rent.If not, it should be highlighted in the description so people know what they are getting themselves into.That’s like getting into your rental and then noticing there is no toilet!!They have about 7 floor fans that you have to play musical chairs with around the whole place to try to make yourself comfortable but it is definitely work moving them around as the breeze sometimes changes direction.I understand that that might be normal for people in that area to live with no a/c but you are housing people coming from around the world who are most likely accustomed to having air conditioning.I can’t imagine how it is in the summer time for unsuspecting people who rent here!We visited in October.A previous review had stated that the balcony furniture was uncomfortable and the host responded saying the cushions had been updated.I don’t believe that to be true.As I sat on that furniture I could feel every stick of wood underneath me.Other than that, this place would’ve been great.

We loved this rental! The view from the Lani was spectacular! We watched sea turtles swim around in the ocean and snorkeled with them a few times. The rental was clean and well stocked. The only downfall was no ac. It would be nice to have an air conditioning unit in the bedroom. I would highly recommend this rental.

The views were amazing...better than the pictures. The location was great. The rental had beach items, coolers, ice packs, and lots of cookware. There is no air conditioning. Even with the great breeze, it was HOT in August.

Our stay was short and sweet. It was a two night stay in this cute little condo. We loved the beachy decor. If we stayed longer I would have appreciated the well stocked kitchen but both dinners we are out. The couple of things that gave this review one less star was the Fact that the listing didn’t mention no AC. I didn’t realize I needed to search AC as a feature for a rental in a tropical location. When the winds blew it was lovely (first night) but second night was a scorcher. Neither me nor my husband could sleep even with the fans on. Once the condo gets hot there’s not a whole lot you can do to cool it down if there’s no wind. Next time I will be searching for that feature.

We loved the property- the owner was wonderful to deal with. It was perfectly equipped. The views were spectacular. The only downside was a road got washed out due to storm so the traffic was bad getting to the area but totally uncontrollable

Clean, pleasant and up-to-date interiors. Out-standing views from the balcony of the ocean, beach and sunset. A good walking beach and calm, wave-free swimming beach.

My partner and I came to Maui for New Years and to celebrate our engagement. The property was as described. Well maintained. Clean. Well appointed with everything you need. The owners took care to make sure you had anything you possibly needed for your vacation. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances. Beach towels, water activity items like snorkel gear, sand toys for kids, laundry appliances with detergent, books and games, ice coolers, beach chairs and umbrellas. Comfortable bed, sofa and rug in the main room. Plenty of fans for use. And with the location on the water, when you have the kitchen and bedroom window opened, along with the patio door (all screened), there is a great tropical breeze. Definitely no need for AC. In fact, we were a bit cold on a few nights. Great location to get around the island. And having the unit on the top floor, directly overlooking the ocean made this such a great property. The hosts were very informative and made the check in process super easy. Highly recommend and will consider again!Mahalo Nui Loa!

Location was great for exploring Maui. Easy access to beaches on either side of condo complex. We saw turtles everyday at both beaches. Safeway is a short drive away for groceries or stock up at Costco by the airport.
