There was no beach. The pictures online are outdated and should say that depending on the time of year there may or may not be beach access. Also, I would NEVER go here again with my children. The site lets you believe it's a family place but it's more like an old folks community. The property manager was all over everyone with kids, reminding us of the rules our children were breaking (no fun was allowed for kids: no splashing in the pool, no beling loud, no throwing balls in the nice grass area, etc.). Several other parents were there too and we all agreed we wouldn't return to this location due to the strict rules for the kids. The check-in/out process was easy, the unit was clean and very well equipped. Would recommend adults only going to this property in the future.

Such a wonderful property with an outstanding view. Very helpful when a small situation with another unit occurred and was resolved within 10 minutes. There is a folder with information that gives you everything you would need plus more. 5 stars and would recommend if you’re on the fence.

A lovely well equipped condo: great to watch the whales from the balcony. We had stayed at Hale Mahina a few times before and this was by far the best condo we stayed in. Tried to book for next year but sadly not available.

I can't say enough good things about this location! You are seconds from the ocean, with the pool right outside your door. The patio is surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. It really feels like you're in Paradise. This place was spacious and provided everything we needed. We were able to park right outside our door which made it super convenient. The free parking was awesome as well! We would definitely stay here again!

This was a great spot for our family with having 2 bedrooms. The living room and main bedroom overlook the ocean and beach. The unit was equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. In addition they also had coolers, 6 beach chairs and beach umbrella. Normally the beach at the unit is great, however we were traveling during the recent storms and the beach was not usable. So having all the gear made it easy to head to a local beach.

Condo could be cleaner and use some updates. There was water leakage during the large Kona storm but generally a very nice place.

The view of the ocean from the lanai is even greater than this picture shows. Our stay was during peak whale season and everywhere we looked, we didn’t wait long before seeing whales spouting, breaching and flipper slapping. This condo is in a great location, and it was easy for us to find everything we needed. Every night, neighbors in the condo complex celebrated the end of the day by performing the Hawaiian Sunset Ritual of conch shell blowing. We had a wonderful vacation and hope to return to this beautiful property in the future.

Working with Hula Hideaway was seamless from initial contact to check out. When we had a minor issue with a ceiling fan, a representative was out to deal with it immediately. Excellent customer service from this company.

The view from the balcony was amazing. It is whale season and we had a great vantage point to watch them every morning and evening! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. The road traffic was a little noisy at times from the downstairs room but we still enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay. The condo was nice. Loved the view from our balcony and on the beach. There were ants in the kitchen and bathrooms when we arrived. The elevator was broken for the first couple days of our stay and there isn’t a door or curtain to the bathroom upstairs so there isn’t a lot of privacy. Not a big issue for us but could be for others. Loved the bath products just wish they had a name on them so I could bring some home! 100% would stay again.

The property is in excellent condition with great welcoming gifts, fully equipped kitchen, beach chairs and coolers, soaps and lotions, etc. The host provided all info online and easy access with a code so no key required. It’s right on the ocean with the sounds of the surf. We would definitely book this property or another with the same host in the future. They are welcoming and efficient! Mahalo!

The views from the Lanai were amazing! Very comfortable outdoor furniture. We spent a lot of time out there watching whales and sea turtles all day!The bedroom could have definitely used new bedding.things were looking kind of like they’ve seen better days , the comforter were dirty which sent me down a whole rabbit hole making sure everything was cleaned before we put it on the bed . The pillows were flat so we ordered from Amazon .. Blankets also had holes. Nice bedding sure helps your art!

This place is absolutely Paradise! From talking with other guests and owners, B305 is the best 1BR unit in the place. Absolutely everything needed was there. Couldn't have asked for anything more.
February 2026
We never heard from the host. I tried calling and everything and no response. We didn’t know if we had a place to stay. Manager let us in. The unit is very old looking. It needs a complete update. It’s cluttered with lots of weird antiques and tons of chickens. The tv was not much available. No Netflix unless you used your own passwords from home. Not a very comfortable place at all. Strange decorations. I would not rent here again

We took a family trip which included our two sons and two grandchildren to Maui. Randy's unit was in an ideal location in West Maui with sweeping ocean views. It's Prime whale season so we saw no less than 100 whales each day. There were a couple of large sea turtles that made their way up on the private beach each day to sunbathe. The unit had everything we needed. The only two things that were not optimal was the upstairs Loft area was dark and had no airflow or views and the apartment got a little warm during the day the fans really didn't cool off the house. Other than that we had a great stay and we give it five stars

Friendly hosts. Absolutely everything you might need. Quiet, literally 20 steps from the lanai to the water’s edge. Markets, medical very close. Turtles on the sand. Just right!

This was our 4th biennial visit to Randy's wonderful 4th floor/penthouse condo. Great beachfront location, great views, covered balcony, lots of space (2 bedrooms with doors on the main floor, and a full bedroom/bathroom/hide-a-bed in the loft (which (?unfortunately?) opens to the floor below, so don't expect lots of privacy). The condo has a well-equipped kitchen and enough dishes and glasses, etc. The beach area is spacious and very private for residents. It also has a great pool and hot tub. The location is close to The Times Supermarket which has almost everything one could want/need. The ABC Market/Store, also nearby, has good stuff too. Each evening, an area near Times Supermarket hosts a bunch of food trucks and outdoor eating areas, which is fun (and of course relatively inexpensive). Visiting in December into January, one can watch "up close and personal" (especially with binoculars/monoculars as whales breach/frolic in the marine sanctuary between Lanai, Molokai and Maui. We are already planning another visit in January 2018.

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!! Not listed anywhere! Beautiful view - Loved the little private area of beach to share with just the couple of condo’s - disappointed the “extras” that it said would be there were not. Nothing for snorkeling, only 1 beach chair. Fishing pole was there, but was broke, so couldn’t be used. Cleanliness was not there * Light switches don’t stay on * Delta flight federal disabling on plane eight doors on each side that can be used as small slides that can be used for them to avoid what is I wanna send it to lovesome windows don’t seal & screens are ripped so we had some very unwanted bugs (2 cockroaches) For how long we have saved and looked forward to this - it was a huge let down & the only response we got (after I messaged a 2nd time) was we could buy a chair & he would pay us back & sorry for the cockroaches we could take a bottle of his wine in which I replied “we are not wine drinkers” and then he was never to be heard from again …Well the view was beautiful… I would not recommend it, nor am I happy with the amount of money we paid, all the things I read and was told 1st hand from the owners and what we just experienced! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! And beware they have other places in this same condo area (not sure of their conditions)

Randy was very communicative before and during our stay. The home was clean, welcoming, and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning looking out at the ocean. We loved feeling like we had our own little beach, wasn't overly crowded ever. Parking was a breeze. Check in/out was easy.

The condo is in a good location, with a great view. The beach is a little bit small and the waves were pretty rough, but with close supervision we managed to have a good time with our two little kids. You might get bored with anyone looking for a real beach who is over 6 years old. But we did see sea turtles everyday who came to rest on this tiny and fairly private beach, so that was neat. The condo itself is a nice layout, and our kids loved the pullout beds. It has great potential. However, the place was in SERIOUS need of a deep clean and minor renovations. The bathroom floors and tubs were freaking nasty!! You wouldn’t believe the brown/orange grime all around the toilets and baseboards, and the tubs had nasty caulk and just need to be retiled so badly. The bathroom faucets were also caked with mineral buildup so badly that they sprayed the mirrors anytime you used them. The rest of the condo was fine and sufficiently clean, but the bathrooms were just unacceptable for the amount of money we paid to stay there. The balcony furniture was also uncomfortable. So as far as location, I’d give it 4 stars. As far as cleanliness, 2 stars. This is why I’m averaging my review at 3 stars. I wouldn’t go back.

The view was amazing and you cannot get any closer to the ocean! The condo was great and as described/pictured. The resort is small, which makes it quiet. My only critique for the condo itself is that there is only one key that works for the condo and the pool that you also have to use to get out of the pool area and it would be nice if there were 2. There is no AC in the unit…we were there in November and just used the 2 box fans and the standing fan and kept the windows open all the time and it was fine. The only downside to the facility was that there is a group of people that either live there full time or are condo owners that are there a lot that make you feel like they are “watching” you. The condo management was very easy to work with and communicated prior to the trip about a small issue that ended up not being an issue for us at all!

We had a good stay overall, with some great strengths and a few drawbacks.The unit is wonderfully quiet — we heard almost no people noise, even with the windows open 24/7. They did need to stay open because the space heats up quickly without airflow, but with the breeze it was comfortable.The location is fantastic: close to restaurants, shops, and excursions. Pool and beach access are lovely, with lounge chairs, picnic tables, and BBQs. There’s a sign asking guests to go shoeless, but barefoot soles turned black quickly. We also kept finding mystery sand in the loft — possibly termite frass. A couple rugs would help with comfort and cleanliness.Bedding is all polyester/microfiber. We had an odd exchange with the owner insisting the sheets were a cotton blend despite the polyester label. Replacement sheets were also polyester, so we gave up. If you prefer cotton, bring your own.The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and cookware. Consumables seem to be cleared between guests, so bring cooking oil and basics. There was salt, pepper, a few spices, chocolates, and a small bag of coffee.Soaps and detergents are provided, but the laundry detergent is extremely scented and all linens/towels carried the smell. We bought unscented detergent. Washer/dryer work well for small loads.The unit is well maintained with a vintage 1980s Hawaii vibe. Comfortable king bed, decent seating for two, plus four Tommy Bahama chairs and a boogie board.
