Everything about this property is absolute perfection! There was plenty of room for our family of 4, lovely amenities, and the convenient location made it an ideal home base. And that view! We were completely spoiled by the beautiful view and the ability to simply walk out and swim in the pool or snorkel in the ocean. We could not be more pleased with our stay. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!

We were surprised by the spaciousness of this condo. Sometimes photos are deceiving but not in this case. We were a family of six…multigenerational. We never once felt crowded. The view was perfect. The beach was safe for the kids. Sea turtles all day, every day. The property manager was kind and helpful. The pool was sparkling clean. Sorry, nothing negative about it. Five Stars.

The large lanai with comfortable lounger was fantastic. We enjoyed the beach just down the stairs with turtles swimming throughout the day as well as the beach chairs/boogie boards. Nice corner unit with more than enough airflow/fans to keep cool. Clean, spacious and well equipped. Hosts are very accommodating

The ocean view from the lanai is beautiful! The small, private beach is just a few yards away, and was very good for snorkeling (sea turtles could be seen swimming by from our lanai too). The pool and the grounds were very well kept, and a great place to watch the ocean from the provided lawn chairs/loungers. The location is close to great beaches. Condo itself was good & appliances were all fine. The only negative for us was that these units did not have A/C, which we would have liked a couple of days, but this is very common for Maui -- the temperatures are generally very moderate & the ocean breeze is nice and cool at night.

We loved our visit! The location was perfect and the condo was wonderful. The people at the resort were friendly and the grounds were perfect. My mom enjoyed watching her grandkids play on the beach and my kids loved the beach right in the backyard. Only suggestion would be to figure out a way to open the little air vents in the ceiling and supply some kitchen essentials. We ended up leaving a few items like salt and pepper for the next guest. Mahalo!

What I was looking for- accommodation on whichever part of the island that has calm waters in July; view of beach 2nd or 3rd floor; walking distance to beach; pool; waterslide; kitchen; washer & dryer; no insect infestation; free parking; frugal friendly rates. We got everything but the waterslide with this one! Condo was a great bargain and worked out well for myself and 3 teenage sons. Comfy queen bed, queen pull out sofa, and twin inflatable bed, all with clean linens. All the kitchen appliances you will need. Keurig and reqular coffee maker available and more. The washer & dryer came in handy as we didn't pack many clothes. Could use new window treatments and the bookcase in the living room has a funny smell, still I would definitely stay here again. We visited in July, it was warm so we opened the front and back slider door, the breeze would come thru and that kept us comfortable. There are 2 ceiling fans, and a stand up fan we didn't need to use. The beach, pool and hot tub being right downstairs meant we never had to leave the complex for beach access. Room is on the 2nd floor, you can use the stairs or elevator. Grounds were well kept. Manager of the complex is on site and very friendly. Grocery store and fuel is a 2 minute drive away. Just a perfect location, checked all the boxes for our family!

Didn't realize there was no air conditioning until we got there and the condo was stuffy. The only way to get natural air flowing through the condo is to open the windows in the bedroom and living room. The problem with that is, the bedroom is right next to the walkway, and stairs, and is facing the parking lot so we couldn't leave them open while using the bedroom. It was also very loud in the bedroom with people using the stairs, walking by, the road was noisy and every morning there was always something going on (trash pickup, lawn care, loud trucks). The condo itself needs to be updated. The carpet had stains, cracked tile, dishwasher took some muscle to get it to close properly to use, and small bugs on the kitchen counter that we couldn't keep away. The best part of this condo is the accessibly to the pool and beach/ocean.

My family and I loved our time at the condo. The view is unbeatable. We loved the private beach and swimming pool. The location is great - just a few minutes drive from plenty of stores/restaurants. The only issue that came up during our stay was that one of the beach chairs we left on the beach went missing after we left it there for a couple of hours, so would advise to not leave things on the beach unattended to. Mike was a great host - the condo had all the essential amenities and then some. I appreciated his responsiveness to questions. Would love to stay again in the future.

We had a fantastic time at this location; while the actual accommodations aren't exactly the Ritz Carlton, they are more than sufficient, and this place has a view of the ocean and the beach that no Ritz Carlton *I* know of can match - and for the price, there likely are very few locations that are better. We'd absolutely stay here again, without question.

Our stay at The Fish Condo was amazing !! We saw turtles come to our beach; we swam in the ocean with the turtles !! The pool & hot tub were great. We ate our meals out on the lanai & watched multiple, beautiful sunsets. It was nice to have a place to park our rental car. Washer / Dryer were great so we didn’t have to pack much. It was so relaxing that we skipped some offers for touring the island, & just spent time swimming & sunning ourselves. Kids loved the boogie boards.

Wow. Just Wow. The place is utterly perfect. We were blown away by the view when we opened the door. We did not want for anything. We have stayed in several condos in the Honokawai area and this one is the star. Walking distance to the grocery store (great faux chicken salad/dill potato salad/acai bowls), coffee shop, as well as the Honokawai State Beach Park.
The unit is very clean, sporting a large lanai with all the different types of lounging chairs (and a chaise!) you could want. The living room is spacious with a beautiful largeTV screen and comfy sofa. A well stocked kitchen (with coffee filters!) that provided everything we needed for a simple meal. Bedroom was quite nice with a strong AC unit and built-in TV for relaxing. Bathroom spacious and lovely. All in all a perfect stay!

Let me first start out by saying the location was outstanding. The proximity to the private beach could not have been better.
Randy was easy to work with and responsive to questions and concerns we had.
Unfortunately the pictures on the listing do not accurately represent the current furnishings in the condo. We had five adults and two children (8 &11). The dining table was not very large and only had space for four chairs. There were no bar stools at the counter. Based on the pictures we assumed the table sat six people and there were two barstools available for seating. I did call Randy and asked about the stools and he did have one delivered the next day. Any meals we did have meant we had four people at the table, one person at the counter and two people balancing plates on their lap while sitting on the
sofa.
I did read on previous reviews that the unit needed a deep cleaning. Quite honestly the carpeting was stained and filthy. There were food smears on the walls and paint was chipping. The master bath sink drain was clogged. The tile floors could not have been washed in quite some time. The unit has fabulous bones, but it truly needs some TLC. When I read the earlier reviews I was expecting some surprises but I didn’t think it would be this bad.
Again, location is everything and this unit fits that description!

We have stayed in several Condos at the Hali Mahina. We will not stay in this unit again as it is loud due to the location and had very dirty recliners to sit in.

We loved the condos. Our specific unit was a ground level and very convenient for going to pool and ocean. It was a bit loud as I suspect all of building B is by the pool. It is one of the cheaper units at the condos which helps offset some of the little things that could have been better. There is a light on the pathway that shines right into your eyes on the couch bed. Maybe rearrange furniture or just take the light bulb out. Otherwise it was great.

The Condos were very nice with a great sandy beach directly in front. My favorite activity on the beach was the turtles that would swim up and sunbathe next to us. Location is just minutes from Lahaina and grocery stores. Would definitely recommend and I’m anxious to return next Spring. 🌴🌸

Booked a 10 day stay and the weather was perfect everyday. Great location -excellent reasonably priced food options. 7 minutes to Front St. Turtles appear just about every day. Had a brief seal visit 1 day. You can spend more but you will not get more. 2nd visit- Will return! Highly recommend.

Hale Mahina B302 made us excited the minute we walked in the door! It is beautifully decorated with a turtle theme. The bedroom has a comfortable king bed with cool air flowing. The bathroom is spacious with a good sized shower and water flow. Then, the well stocked kitchen and living room with perfect view of the ocean. The sound of the waves was so comforting. There is a pool and beach with turtles showing up daily. The lanai has a hanging chair with table to eat on while watching ocean and sunset.
I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs and this was by far the best. Usually we have to go to the store for kitchen items. They have stocked this condo with spices, nice pans, plenty of dishes, all needed cookware and much more.
I just can’t say enough about this place! We will be back! The owner truly cared about making our vacation memorable!

Truly the most amazing time staying here. We came to Maui for our honeymoon and staying at this condo helped make our trip so much more enjoyable. The private beach, pool and hot tub was 10/10. It was so nice and convenient just stepping outside our sliding glass door and being right by all of those things. Everything was so clean and well kept!! Both inside the condo and outside. There were sea turtles out on the sand almost every morning. A sea turtle also swam right next to me while we were in the ocean. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed for our 10 day trip. We especially loved having a washer and dryer and all of the beach/pool things. It was just the most perfect trip and our condo played a huge part to it.

Beautifully decorated, well taken care of condo right on the beach! Quite a few conveniences, beach access, bbq, pool, parking, trash disposal, and walking distance to many shops and food trucks (under a mile) The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with everything you'd need for most meals. It had some beach toys, boogie board, cooler, and an umbrella for use. We especially loved seeing the gorgeous HUGE hibiscus right outside our patio. It was whale season so we got to see many whales breaching as well as turtles right on the beach and in the water close to us. The snorkeling around the condo is fun as well. We love A102 at Hale Mahina and would love to return soon.

Steps away from the beach, on the first floor, and waking up every morning with a coffee and enjoying a glass of wine at sunset every evening on the patio. We even had a turtle handle hanging out on the sand out front! The condo is perfectly clean, updated and full of tropical style. Location is great close to some great restaurants and at short drive away from downtown Lahaina. I definitely would recommend this special place for someone looking to have a relaxing and tropical beach experience!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Fish Condo. The location of the condo was fabulous...close to the beaches we wanted to spend time at, but away from the crowds of Lahaina.
The accommodations worked great for our family of 5. The only complaint was the street noise was VERY loud in the front bedroom, but that was situational and not a reflection of the property at all.
We loved sitting out on the porch and watching the turtles swim by! I could have done that all day!
The owner was very responsive to any questions that we had.

We loved this spot! A small condo complex with its own secluded beach. This bottom floor unit was only steps from the water which was great for quick dips and snorkeling ventures. Overall we'd recommend and would stay again. There's no AC so it was a bit warm but the fans made it pretty manageable. The bed unfortunately was very uncomfortable as it was too soft causing my partner and I to sink into the middle of the bed. A new bed would make this place perfect!

The weather was sublime. We loved the evening rain. The turtles the size of a VW bug on our little beach put on a show, and the monk seal who came to sun himself seemed right at home.

Such a great place, and the condo was well stocked and perfectly located.

I've stayed at Hale Mahina a few times, though at different condos. This condo is a good choice.
I thought since it was the second floor, more foliage would obstruct our view. However, we did not have that problem at all. The amenities are good as well. Perhaps a bit better maintained than some other condos I have been in.
The best thing I found about the condo was that it had an ice maker. Small thing for sure, but this was the first one to have one that I have stayed in. It was also very clean overall. I particularly appreciated the hand rail and night light on the two hallway steps, especially for my elderly family member. The bed is also very large.
The not so great thing is maybe the abundance of pillows. This is a very small criticism here... but they did get in the way. There is also not really any accessible storage space in the living area, so things will have to be kept in the bathroom or bedroom.
The condo owner is very pleasant and responsive. So any issues you may run into should be addressed kindly to during your stay.
TL;DR: Good condo, exceeded my expectations. I would stay here again if given the opportunity.

I filled out a review, apparently it went into la la land.. it wasn't a great review so maybe that's why it disappeared! Hale Mahina is a great property and other units we've stayed in have been super but this unit, B101, is not. The patio is a joke, there's barely enough room for the two rusted chairs (with very filthy/old cushions) and tiny table let alone 2 grown people. It's like being in a dark hole (in an out of the unit) and absolutely no privacy. Those blue chairs are disgusting, at least put covers over them. We wouldn't sit in them due to the grime baked into them. The curtain has mold on the back side of it. The surface areas are clean enough, ie toilet, sinks, stove/oven, linens/towels, etc. but beyond that, not so much..bathroom walls are filthy as is the backsplash behind the stove. I discovered this when I went to wipe up something that had splattered, ick! I will say that the kitchen is stocked full of everything a cook would need, pots, pans, etc. and the pool is right there!The following questions regarding the proprty I am assuming, are referring to the unit not Hale Mahina as a whole?

This condo is absolutely perfect! Quiet neighborhood. Private beach access. Nice pool. And that view! A quick trip for groceries and you're set! My husband and I felt so relaxed and right at home in this beautiful turtle themed condo.

Beautiful location with wonderful beach. Great atmosphere and Larry is a gem. Actual rental was clean and ok. Really could use an updating. Couple of issues that were minor but need addressed.

Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the waves breaking against the shore and the breeze gently blowing across you is the best therapy of all. Natures symphony!

Property itself was nice felt a little dated for our taste. Pool steps away from the door. Turtles on the beach just about every day. Shops in walking distances.

Excellent location, wonderful condo with amazing views! Couldn't find onsite recycling, so dropped off at the local recycling redemption center in Lahaina.

Staying here was literally the highlight of our trip! The private beach/sand/grass/pool set-up was absolute perfection. Unbelievably peaceful and beautiful. The condo had lots of upgrades and the beds were nicely comfortable. There is no A/C, which we're not used to, but ample fans were provided and we kept the windows open nearly the whole time which was not hard to do with the sound of the ocean so close!

The property was great, but the location and veiws were amazing! In the evenings there were sea turtles on the beach, which is just steps from the condo. We used the kitchen to cook fresh caught fish from The Fish Market just south on the same road. Sunsets from the lanai or the beach were beautiful. The condo stayed remarkably cool with the cross breeze from the lanai to the bedroom.

We were satisfied with the property, and it was clean and the owners were very responsive. But in no way should this be described as a penthouse, or a premium property. The location is excellent! Right on the ocean, and located in the part of Maui that is the best place to stay, IMO. The condo was clean and well stocked. The owners go to great lengths to make sure guests have the extras needed to enjoy their vacation. In all, our experience was very good.
However, I do think it is important to give reasonable and accurate reviews, and there are several reasons why I don’t consider this premium. First, this is an older unit with older appliances and furnishings. The downstairs bedroom mattress was, IMO, FAR too soft. I slept upstairs and the mattress was acceptable, but not premium in any way. The unit has no AC, which is disclosed. Not a problem for us in early May, and I suspect it’s fine year round. But it can get a little warm. The breeze is amazing, and sleeping to the sounds of the ocean was wonderful.
The complex only allows smoking in the parking lot. There are a few chairs there, but it seems that they could arrange the far North part of the beach to allow guests to enjoy a cigar there in the evening. Could be a pro or a con, depending on the individual.
Overall our stay was nice, and I would recommend the unit for most folks. But I would think most would agree that the only thing premium is the location, and the thoughtfulness and attention given by owner

This VRBO unit at Hale Mahina was a wonderful experience. The condo was perfectly clean and was furnished with all of the necessities and comforts of home. The lanai offered unobstructed views and, amazingly, we watched Humpback whales breach and turtles coming ashore as we enjoyed the view from the spacious lanai. The proximity to the oceanside beach allowed us to also enjoy the relaxing sounds of the surf. We even managed to get good snorkeling in without having to drive to more popular and crowded beach locations. The host, Sandy, took personal care to ensure our visit and stay in her Maui home met all of our needs and expectations. The caretaker, Larry, ensured the common grounds, pool, hot tub and barbeques were never neglected and his gardens were in spectacular bloom. The visit in one word was 'magical'. Our stay at this VRBO unit exceeded our expectations in every way. We look forward to a return visit soon. Many Mahalos, Sandy!

I filled out a review, apparently it went into la la land.. it wasn't a great review so maybe that's why it disappeared! Hale Mahina is a great property and other units we've stayed in have been super but this unit, B101, is not. The patio is a joke, there's barely enough room for the two rusted chairs (with very filthy/old cushions) and tiny table let alone 2 grown people. It's like being in a dark hole (in an out of the unit) and absolutely no privacy. Those blue chairs are disgusting, at least put covers over them. We wouldn't sit in them due to the grime baked into them. The curtain has mold on the back side of it. The surface areas are clean enough, ie toilet, sinks, stove/oven, linens/towels, etc. but beyond that, not so much..bathroom walls are filthy as is the backsplash behind the stove. I discovered this when I went to wipe up something that had splattered, ick! I will say that the kitchen is stocked full of everything a cook would need, pots, pans, etc. and the pool is right there!The following questions regarding the proprty I am assuming, are referring to the unit not Hale Mahina as a whole?

We’ve stayed in many condos at Hale Mahina over the years and really enjoyed our stay in this unit. It’s very clean and the owners are very friendly and responsive. We’ll be booking another stay in the future!

Views and serenity of this property are fabulous! Turtles on the (private!) beach. Whales in the distance. Amazing sunsets from the lanai. Short drive to Whaler's Village, Kaanapali Beach, and great dining options if you'd prefer a more vibrant scene. Walking distance to grocery store if you prefer to stay in and enjoy the peace and serenity of the property. Can't go wrong with either option!
Would definitely recommend and return!

Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves was awesome. No need for an app when you can have the lanai screen door open and listen live. Was a memorable time spent with family. Thank you to the owners for sharing their little piece of heaven with us. Mahalo!

This property was amazing! It had everything we could possibly need for a beach day. We felt like we were at a home away from home, it was so comfortable and everything we needed was provided in the condo. The views from the balcony are amazing! We saw an amazing sunset and even saw whales. The property where the condo is located is very well taken care of. I can not say enough good things about this place. The owner was easy to communicate and very accommodating. We would recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is nicely outfitted and is on the ground floor so you can walk right out to the beach. It was a huge plus. There were a couple of minor issues however the owner was extremely responsive.
The complex is fairly small which was nice because you were able to meet the same people from day to day and make friends. We met some really nice people we plan on keeping in touch with.
The grounds and beach were amazing. We saw whales everyday and turtles on the beach on two different occasions.
The only thing I could say that could be improved upon is the bathroom is very small and out dated. That said it was clean and we didn't spend much time in there anyway.
We will definitely be going back.
