Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Hale Ono Loa delivers a classic, low-key West Maui condo experience with a standout setting right on the water. Guests rave about the sweeping ocean views, nightly sunsets over Moloka‘i/Lāna‘i, and near-constant sightings of whales (in season) and sea turtles from lanais, the oceanfront sundeck, or even the sea wall. The property feels peaceful and well kept, with a clean pool, BBQs, easy parking, and a convenient location for beaches, grocery stores, coffee, food trucks, and Kāʻanapali, Napili, Kapalua, and Lahaina attractions. Many hosts are praised for excellent communication, and most units are thoughtfully stocked for beach days and cooking at home.

Stays feel comfortable and homey rather than resort-like. Most condos are clean and well-equipped with full kitchens, beach gear, and comfy beds; many guests highlight falling asleep to the sound of waves and enjoying meals on the lanai. Views vary by unit—some are direct oceanfront while others face gardens or the pool, and upper floors tend to offer the biggest panoramas. The community vibe is quiet and friendly, with an elevated deck perfect for sunset-and-whale watching, and on-site laundry rooms that make longer stays easy.

Key considerations: most units do not have air conditioning, so expect to rely on trade winds and fans; many guests were comfortable, but some found afternoons or still nights warm. This is an older complex, and while generally well maintained, occasional unit-level quirks (dated finishes, sticky screens, minor repairs) and periodic building projects or elevator work do occur. Bedrooms that face the road can pick up parking or street noise, the pool is unheated with limited shade, and there’s no hot tub. There isn’t a sandy beach on site—ocean entry is rocky and best for confident swimmers when calm—so plan to walk or drive to nearby sandy beaches for swimming and snorkeling. Overall, travelers seeking oceanfront views, value, and a relaxed base to explore West Maui tend to love it here.

This was our 2nd stay in this unit, and it was perfect in every way. The ocean view is beautiful, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, quiet and relaxing. Communication with the host was outstanding. As mentioned in previous posts, there is no AC, but had the cross breeze along with ceiling fan to keep us cool. Can’t wait to go back!

My wife and I spent 1 week in Dave's condo and truly enjoyed our time there. The views are truly beautiful and the location is great! It is close to everything needed - beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. The condo is stocked with everything needed from a variety of seasonings and great coffee maker in the kitchen to all you need to enjoy the beach including beach chairs, sun umbrella, snorkeling equipment, and cooler. There is a grill available for the times you would like to stay in for dinner. We loved our evenings on the balcony with the gorgeous sunsets and the peaceful atmosphere.We would 100% consider coming back.

The condo was amazing!! The view was outstanding. Perfect for watching the sunset. There is a bakery and coffee shop within walking distance that we frequently went to. It is also very close to a variety of dining options. I would highly recommend this condo.

I really liked this condo, my stay was very enjoyable. The location of this condo within the complex is very convenient. It's close to the pool, parking lot and trash disposal. The property itself is very nice, super clean, and very, very quiet. The pool area is nice also, most of the time I had the pool to myself. The condo is very clean, and comfortable. The bed is comfy and although I didn't cook, the kitchen had everything you would need to do so. I only have one small critique, I wish there would have wine glasses, felt weird drinking wine out of a water glass. But I survived!!

The location and views of this condo are wonderful. The place is clean and there is very easy access to the ocean (not beach access location, but beautiful sunset views). Walking distance to a public beach, food, drinks, and fun! Be advised there is NOT any air conditioning in this unit so the two fans are all ya got. Opening the doors and windows help, but yeah. The complex residents are great and there often a shelf full of non perishable goods that other tenants or rentals have left for those traveling. Overall a great place to stay.

It is a cute place and has a lot of potential. But, the carpet in the bedroom was filthy and the vacuum wouldn't pick up anything. The manager sent someone to vacuum while we were gone but it was not any better. The microwave didn't work. She ordered a new one, but it didn't arrive during our 9 day stay. The coffee pot wouldn't stay on. Other than those issues, we enjoyed our stay.

We really enjoyed staying at Wendy’s place for our anniversary trip. The complex is quiet and clean and the neighbors are friendly. The location is great and close by to some of our favorite beaches in West Maui.

Beautiful place in a great location with a fantastic view. Perfect for watching the sunset. No direct beach access though, but you can jump in from the steps. Sandy beaches are a short walk in either direction.

Perfect! This studio suited us to a tee. Great bed, clean, absolutely wonderful shower, all the supplies we would have needed to enjoy the stay were all there (except maybe a set of dominos, which we forgot. We enjoyed the great views from the lanai and watching the turtles come in every evening to feed on the reef. David, the host kept us informed before and during our trip to anything that could affect us, like major traffic slowdowns excepcted or maintenence at the complex. Thank you! We will be back and would surely recommend the rental

This was a great condo for our family. It had all the amenities needed to make a fantastic family vacation. We particularly enjoyed BBQing by the pool just after sunset and amazing snorkeling within a 10 minute drive from the condo.

The own was easy to reach and very helpful for any hick-up along the way. The condo was perfect for our family’s stay. We enjoyed the oceanside access, pool, and the close by beach was a wonderful surprise. We also liked that we weren't far from the Whaler’s shopping area and the food truck courtyard. The location for us was Five Stars. This return trip after 12 years to Maui was extra special with my husband’s recent diagnosis. Ms. Ashley’s family condo made it possible for us to enjoy a beautiful area of Maui on a family budget. Thank you.

The condo was very nice and the right size for me and my wife to enjoy. The ocean waves crashing against the shore at night made sleeping enjoyable. Location on the West side of Maui was convenient to many activities.

We stayed two weeks in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. First trip to Hawaii. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Beautiful views right out your window! Hear the waves and palm tree leaves from inside the room! Close parking. Close walking boardwalk. Close food, coffee, groceries. No condo is closer to the water than this one. Highly recommend it so all of your senses get the Hawaiian experience!

We had such a great stay! The apartment was just what we needed. It had no AC so it was a little hot at night but the fans and windows open worked fine. The view of the ocean and the sea turtles were fantastic!

We loved the condo. It was located directly on the ocean with a beautiful view just steps away. We saw whales in the distance and many sea turtles. It was also nice to have beach chairs and two beach towels available for our use. Thank you!!!

We enjoyed our best trip to Maui yet, and that was largely in part due to Steve's wonderful condo. The mattress was extremely comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for delicious dinners, which were enjoyed on the lanai, that has a breathtaking view. We got lots of us of the beach chairs and umbrella during our many beach days. Steve was extra communicative before and during our visit and offered lots of great suggestions for hikes and places to eat (fyi...get the cinnamon roll ). We 100% will stay at Steve's condo in the future.

Beautiful property next to the pool and on the ocean. Sea turtles came to the sea wall to munch on grass every day around dinner time. Great snorkeling in nearby Napili bay

During our stay the elevator next to us was being renovated. In addition a close by condo was being remodeled. We had constant jack hammering and garbage carts loaded with carpeting and furniture being wheeled right outside our window. We could not hear ourselves speak.This was every day except for the weekend. Management did offer to relocate us to an eighth floor condo a few miles away but due to mobility issues this was not feasible.

Owner is prompt in responding if any issues come up. Overall unit met all of our needs and was perfect for sunsets, turtles, whales right in front of property. Rooms stocked well. Only one dishwasher pod though so had to hand wash with dish soap provided. lot for two weeks.

We carefully searched for weeks for the best condo for our needs. The pictures of 109 Hono Loa were beautiful and the corner oceanfront view a major plus. We had a seamless arrival and used the key pad for entry. The condo was absolutely perfect in every way for us. Yes, it gets afternoon sun and can be warm. There are many fans to help keep the air flowing and we were always able to cool down with that. Eating outside on a spring evening can be warm but again with fans, it’s tolerable. We slept comfortably each night and the ocean can be heard with open windows. The condo wasn’t super stocked with condiments etc but it didn’t stop us from cooking at the condo and enjoying all amenities it had to offer.Sunrise and sunset from the condo were perfect and we had whales and turtles within plain sight every day. Theres an ABC store, coffee shop, snorkel and supply rental and Maui fish market within walking distance as well as a small beach and playground for the kiddos. Just up the road was captain jacks for a happy hour snack or any meal out. We highly recommend the location and can’t wait to go back!

Great place for two people. Loved the location. The lanai is so beautiful and relaxing with a garden/pool view and a peek of the ocean. Tons of turtle-watching in front of the property. Amazing communication with the property managers. The bedroom/bathroom setup is unusual - there is a sliding door that either closes off the bedroom or the bathroom, but not both at the same time. We got used to it, but it might be awkward in some situations. Overall a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful almost 2 week stay here! It was the perfect size for two people and was equipped with everything we needed for the beach (chairs, umbrellas, mats, etc.), cooking and barbecuing, and for a comfortable stay. The location was great - close to many good beaches, groceries, places to eat, and we could easily drive to other places on the island. The complex felt safe, peaceful, well kept, and quiet. We were never too hot since there are 2 ceiling fans and both doors and some vents can be opened to let the breeze through. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice. Great view from the dining table or patio, and you can go to the upper deck above the pool for a great view of the sunset and whale watching. The communication was very clear and the check-in/out process was simple. We would definitely stay here again!
