This is an easy one. So often you rent places based on the photos and you get there and they don’t actually match, but in this case, it was better than expected, the place was designed with such integrity, care and comfort, and in a way that made the place feel so much bigger than it was. The unit came with all the amenities needed so you didn’t have to think to much and could truly feel like you were on a vacation, but also gave you the ability to have a little home. The view was spectacular, listening to the ocean waves crash throughout the day and evening was truly meditative. Jill and her team couldn’t have been more attentive & available, you could feel that they truly just wanted you to have a great experience. The location was incredible, everything was within your reach, walking distance to various beautiful beaches, restaurants, shops all minutes away, within all this you felt like you had your own private little world as well. It’s a perfect set up for us as a family of three. We look forward to coming back. Mahalo.

Everything about this stay was absolutely out-stanching. The decor was so cute & beachy, well equipped kitchen for a comfortable stay, the view off the balcony was the most gorgeous views I have ever seen, beach supplies to use throughout the stay... It was so dreamy. Waking up to incredible rainbows over the beautiful ocean, watching the sea turtles poke there heads up everywhere, and hearing the waves crash throughout the night. I would highly recommend Pohailani 212, everything was amazing.

We had the most amazing experience in maui. We cant wait to plan our next trip, and we would 100% come back and stay in the same unit! We felt like it was in the perfect location and we loved seeing the turtles every single day.

An absolutely gorgeous place, tastefully designed, very clean and well maintained. The views are spectacular, we saw turtles and whales right from our lanai! The hosts were very responsive and had the place stocked with everything necessary! Highly recommend!

Great condo experience! We have stayed at 3 different units in this complex over the years and this one was the best. They did a great job with the remodel and the unit is very well stocked. Check in was easy, good communication with the host, and the best/private parking space on in the lot.

We loved our stay. The unit was clean and well stocked with dishes, utensils, pans etc. as well as beach chairs, towels and umbrella. The sheets and towels smelled nice and the bed was comfortable! It’s great sitting out on the lanai watching the turtles and whales. Beautiful sunsets too. We’ll be back!

The vacation rental was beautifully done up and right on the water with an amazing sunset view. However the surrounding was noisy especially during the night with cars racing down. The residential property is old and someone with mobility issue will find it challenging to navigate.
