Everything about it was excellent. Spotless, well appointed, very comfortable. Wonderful location, beautifully kept. Lovely pool area too. Outstanding.

As advertised, plus. Close to grocery stores, walks, cafes. Will stay there again if available.

Clean, and for the most part comfortable and quiet. Loved listening to the surf everynight and the breeze & fans kept the temp about 95% cool enough without AC. Unfortunately road/parking lot noise makes leaving bedroom window open a poor option. We felt bad we had to slam the front door to get it to close. Plenty of beach chairs but no snorkeling gear. Otherwise, unit was well stocked and in good condition.

We had a lovely vacation in this cute condo. The view is stunning and we saw whales jumping in the distance. You also have a view of the sunset over the ocean and two nearby islands. There were plenty of towels and beach supplies. The neighborhood is nice and it is a good location. There isn’t an air conditioner but in February we were comfortable with the air flow from the lanai and they have ceiling fans and a stand fan. It might get a little warm in the summer though, not sure. The hosts provided helpful suggestions and added a very personable and welcoming touch with their Aloha spirit and good communication. Hope to stay here again!

This is the 4th time staying in this condo unit over the past 6 years. It is definitely showing the wear and could really use some love - a coat of paint throughout, some deep tile cleaning, power wash of the lanai, some general overall deep cleaning, updating/cleaning of bathroom (moldy tile, rusty tub, faucet was super loose, etc), etc. Since the bedroom faces the road, it has always been noisy but we always knew that. Unfortunately, since last year, the neighbor across the street has set up some sort of gaming, music/media mixing system with a massive tv and there were people there all hours of the night (4am one night) making noise that made it difficult to sleep. The pluses of this place are strong - great views, excellent location close to restaurants, grocery stores, Kaanapali, Kapalua, and Lahaina, beautiful grounds, laid back pool/complex, and excellent whale watching! It’s just getting to the point where the pluses might not be outweighing the negatives

The best vacation is a “no issues” vacation. From beginning to end, this was a relaxing and wonderful choice. We would do it again next week, but “reality” is calling us home.

Views are amazingLanai has a dining table and couch. We didn’t even sit on the indoor chairs or sectional!Comfortable bed with lovely linensWell stocked kitchen and bathroom (bring your own coffee & tea). Walking distance to groceries, beaches, restaurants.

I discovered this building several years ago. This unit is situated directly on the shore line with unobstructed views to watch the sunsets, the turtles eat from the reef directly below, and the whales play not too far in the distance. The condo offers everything you need to make home cooked meals and is essentially a home away from home while you listen to the waves rock you to sleep with an ocean breeze to cool down.

Would stay again in a heartbeat. Lovely home!

We had a nice time staying in West Maui for 6 nights. This condo has amazing views of the ocean and one of our days we even saw whales fairly close by (from the lanai)! The lanai is a wonderful place to watch the waves day and night. There is also a beautiful pool and ocean viewing platform. The condo is beautifully decorated and the room divider between bedroom and living corridors is really helpful. The owner Kim and property manager Michelle are both fast at communicating if you need any help. This condo is close to many wonderful beaches and restaurants.

Very convenient to all we wanted to do. Not our first trip to Maui so we were low key. Lanai has a beautiful sheltered view. Well stocked and clean. Made everything easy.

Steve was absolutely fantastic! The property was clean, had extras for snorkeling, chairs, towels, sheets, and pillows! When Steve mentions that he is a text message away he means it. We will absolutely stay with Steve on our next trip to the Island!!

Our rental was the perfect space for us during our stay in Maui. The views were incredible, every morning we watched the whales from the patio. The amenities were great-Kim and Scott provide all of the extras like beach gear, coolers, and snorkel equipment. The bed was comfortable and we had to come home and buy a sound machine to replicate the sound of the waves that put us to sleep every night. The unit is also close enough to walk to lots of places including a beach, restaurants and a grocery store. We would 100% stay here again.

We had an awesome stay! It has everything you need including all kitchen utensils/containers. Could see the whales every morning from the lanai. Fans did the trick for the heat! King bed was very comfy and pillows were awesome! Pool area is awesome as well as the parking :) We even cooked some food on the bbq!!! Coffee that you guys provided was the most special treat in the morning :) Thank you for the stay!

Loved this place! Perfect for your trip to Maui. Great place with a beautiful view. Near food and shopping, beaches too! Saw whales from the balcony multiple times during our stay. The sunsets were the best! Was worried we wouldn’t be welcome as Vrboers but every neighbor and person that we met was kind and friendly. Great communication with the owner. Will be back! Highly recommend

This was a great property. Very well kept. It was nice and quiet, right by the ocean, and you could hear the surf at night. The only small issue was with the number of towels we were provided. Given the amount of time you spend outside and need to shower sometimes twice a day, it would been nice to have one or two more bath towels. Other than the very minor thing it was fabulous.

We had a pleasant stay overall. The unit is beautifully designed, tastefully equipped, and offers breathtaking views. However, there is a major issue regarding privacy. The listing emphasizes “privacy” multiple times, but this is misleading. Throughout the day, other residents were walking through what we initially believed was our private space. When I contacted Perfect Stays, they clarified that the grassy area is shared among all residents.This lack of privacy is particularly problematic given the unit’s floor-to-ceiling glass walls, which are stunning for the view but leave you feeling exposed unless you keep the blinds closed. If you’re not bothered by strangers nearby, this may not be an issue, but for private individuals like us, it was disappointing and would have influenced our decision to book.Additionally, the unit accommodates six people but only provides two sun loungers, which felt insufficient. The mattresses were also too soft for our liking, though this may come down to personal preference.If true privacy is a priority, I recommend booking a standalone house rather than this type of rental. While the unit has many positives, clearer communication in the listing about shared outdoor spaces would have set better expectations.

The view was lovely. The online photos were not representative of our unit - the furniture was different & the unit was much smaller than it looked in the photos. The surrounding area looked a bit sketchy, but we had no problems. The pool & BBQ area was nice & we enjoyed sitting on the lanai very much.We appreciated the pool/diving gear & beach chairs. Will probably go back to a hotel next time for maid service/fresh towels. The property met our needs and the sunset view was stunning.

Weneki’s Island Paradise was fantastic!! Wendy, the host, was very accessible, communicative and super easy to work with! The studio was just perfect for my husband and I to stay while celebrating our anniversary! It was a great home base to start and end our days which will filled with exploring the island. It was very easy to get around from the location. We didn’t spend much time at the condo but the time we did spend there was very nice! We had friendly neighbors, nice deck with gorgeous views of the ocean, two neighboring islands and many rainbows! We were even able to see a sea turtle one day! We loved it there and would definitely visit again!

This place has an absolutely beautiful view and wonderful ammenities. The sunsets were gogeous and the whale watching was great! The place is very clean and quiet (except for traffic noise on the bedroom side). The neighborhood is very walkable (we walked a lot). There are wonderful eating places and grocery stores within 1/2-3/4 of a mile. We walked to Dukes for Supper one evening - it was about 1.2 miles away. It's an easy drive to the North Shore or to the beaches just south. We ended our trip to Maui here and loved this place. Check in and check out were easy! David was really easy to communicate with and responded quickly when I messaged him. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

My wife was the artist in residence at the Sheraton on New Year's Eve, so rather than drive all the way back to Haiku that night we decided to spend the night and make it a mini staycation. The condo was great with great views of the ocean. Steve (the owner) had excellent communication with us. We would happily stay there again.

Property was wonderful and quiet. Check-in process very easy. The sound of the waves was perfection. There is no beach access. That was not a problem for us. We are not sun bathers and the property has a beautiful pool and lots of amenities including a viewing deck and grills. Centrally located to walking trails up the road and beach state parks in both directions.

We had a most fabulously relaxing two weeks. Communication and check in were easy peasy. The condo was set up to "Welcome Friends". So many lovely touches. Our every need was anticipated. Charming, delightful, comfortable, "HOME". Hoping it's available for our next time on Maui.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time. The unit is perfect for two people and the kitchen cupboards have everything a cook needs. The grounds are kept neat and clean. The pool is nice and there are two grills. The lanai faces west; beautiful colors at sunset. The deck off the pool is a great place to take in ocean views and boats that go by. Wendy went out of her way To help us set the TV up. And finally,, wonderful location for golfers. I would recommend this rental property.

Beautiful ocean view, you can hear the waves crashing behind you. A nice deck, pool access, and even some gear in the room! Would highly recommend. Also, for Sabbath observers, it is possible to turn the fridge lights off.

The apartment was more like a huge studio with the master bedroom closed off by a sliding door. the location of the unit lets you hear the ocean from all sides. The views are incredible, the location is quiet (except for the sound of crashing waves), nearby beaches were great. The condo is well equipped with beach gear, and the kitchen very well outfitted. Steve was extremely responsive and had great recommendations. Only suggestion I have is that if someone in your group is planning to use the pull-out sofa bed, make sure you confirm there will be sheets for it when you check in. We had to have some delivered but again, Steve was on top of it and it was quickly resolved. Definitely would stay again.

The property is conveniently to explore the area near Lahaina. Common areas are specious and well maintained. Property has a wonderful water view to watch the sunset. Kitchen is well equipped and the living area is very comfortable.

We only scheduled four days in Maui and we regret not spending more time. Part of the reason are the many areas to visit on the island, but also because of this excellent condo. The property was clean and located close to many beaches and activities. The views at sunset were amazing from the lanai and the tradewinds made the nights very comfortable and relaxing. The property has many displaced Lahania residents living on property as well. This was great as we learned so much about the before, during and after of the devastating fire. Great conversation and excellent suggestoins on where to go for local food and how to avoid overcrowded tourist spots. Best part was a local resident who blew a conch shell each night at sunset and spoke an Hawaiian prayer. A cool experience. Highly recommend this condo for rental. The description and pictures are very accurate and the communication with Steve has been the best I've experienced in renting condos through VRBO.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo was definitely ocean front. It is centrally located to some very good restaurants. The Sea House, (our favorite), Dollies Pub and Cafe, and The Gazebo are all within a very short drive away. The condo worked out very well for our group of 3 women. It was very clean upon our arrival. Beds were very comfortable. Having window ac in the bedrooms was a blessing. We all slept very comfortable at night. Laundry rooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Very clean and well maintained. 3rd floor has several washer and dryers. Quarters or credit card can be used, $1.75 for each. Worked for us.Lonnie is excellent to work with. This is our 2nd time renting through her management properties and I will rent from her again.Mahalo for a great stay Lonnie
