We used the place for a short 3-day stay on Maui where most of our time was spent out sight-seeing or on the beach, so this was all we needed however we did run into some issues. The kitchen and living area were very nice. We also very much enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants and the beach! The place was well stocked with so many beach items, sports equipment etc. We unfortunately had some issues regarding lack of attention from the cleaning company (and we were not able to use the laundry, however, I assume this is hopefully a one-time issue). We were hoping for a bit more of a response regarding this issue as well, as we were counting on the wash machine. The host did offer to have someone come out to fix/clean but the timing was just inconvenient especially with such a short stay.

We have stayed in other VRBOs on the other islands and this one was by far the best! It is roomy, clean and had everything we needed! There are air conditioning units in each bedroom and in the main area so the temperature was always pleasant. Being right across the beach was amazing. There is a busy road but it always seemed to quiet down at night and didn’t keep any of us awake. We had a family of 5 adults and the pull out bed was comfortable as well. We would definitely stay here again!!

The location was great, close to resturaunts and beaches. The unit is on the 6th floor and with the trade winds it sounded like a wind tunnel in the bed room. Fortunately that was only in the afternoons. There are 2 reccomnedations I would make; curtains in the living room and change the shower floor. The unit faces south so the sun glares into the unit and there is not privacy w/out the curtains. The floor of the shower is pebbles and is uneven which hurt our feet.
The management team was reponsive to most of our issues.

We arrived early and were able to get the luggage into the room while it was still being cleaned. That was great as it allow us to start our vacation early. We were recommended to go to Fred's and this quickly became our hangout for most of the week. Amazing food and drinks and people were all very nice. The room was spacious and a little dated in the bedroom and bathroom but the beds was amazing. This bed was as comfortable as my bed back home. I would definitely go back to room A309 again and again. Thank you for a memorable week!

Such a cute, super clean and comfortable condo with great, right across the street, access to a super nice beach! Has all the beach gear you need to walk over and enjoy your day lounging there, and is also centrally located to get to all the sites you want to see! Great place to stay for families or couples traveling together!

We love the place it was clean, it provided us everything we need., execpt for the check in., we got there very late and both doors where locked, we had to call the manager so she can go and unlock the frame door for us so we can get in … But thank you we loved staying there and we forsure consider staying there in the future again.

We spent a week here in May 2023 as we celebrated my wife’s and our best friends birthdays. Great location with excellent owner and manager. We had a few issues that were addressed right away. Overall the condo is showing a bit of age, and it needs a deep cleaning, but I believe the owner is addressing this in the near future. Beautiful view, comfortable furnishings, great pool and grill area in the complex and short walk to the beach with everything you need provided.

We had a wonderful stay here. Peggy was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed for our stay. It was right across the street from a great beach and only a few minutes away from excellent snorkeling. The condo was perfect for our family if 4. Kids each had their own bed. The Japanese style doors closed off a room just for them. They loved it. The beds were all comfy. There were plenty of towels for us to use s as well as beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards that we found in the guest closet. The kitchen was well stocked. Thanks for letting us use your place!

We have stayed in this complex before (but not this unit) and we really enjoy the location. Quick walk to beach, shops and restaurants. We had issues with the living room AC not working which was disappointing however in speaking with Karen they are looking to get that replaced. The 2nd bedroom had an uncomfortable bed which caused sleeping issues. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the “extra” appliances like the air fryer and crockpot! Karen and the management staff were VERY responsive on the minor issues we had while there. Would definitely stay again with a couple minor updates.

My wife, 17 year-old nephew, and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We appreciated that others had left some essentials (a few rolls of toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) and we gratefully returned the favor.
Appliances are new and easy to use. The water filter allowed us to reuse our bottles for the whole week.
Location is fabulous, right across from Kam III and within walking distance of several shopping centers and restaurants.
Overall a wonderful vacation in a lovely condo; we highly recommend.

Trust the high ratings for this condo—it is amazing. The lanai stays shaded all day for you to enjoy. The owners had a great assortment of beach gear and the furniture is high quality.

Also beach towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie board…
They had a few spices too which was nice!
The fridge was nice and big with an ice maker, beds were comfortable, the unit had lots of room…

This was the third time we stayed in Alan and Barb's condo, and with their beautiful kitchen remodel and new furnishings it was even more lovely than before. It is quite large, has always been clean and well stocked in the kitchen and bathrooms, has ample towels and bedding (good variety of pillow types), includes beach towels and a beach umbrella to use, and has enough of some essentials like toilet paper and coffee so you can at least settle in a bit before you head to the store. We loved the new water filter in the kitchen and were able to forego buying cases of water.
As their description of the property states, there were condiments, baking supplies and seasonings, and a couple packaged foods (mac-n-cheese, popcorn) left for our use by previous guests. The Hawaiian Moons Natural Food store is about two blocks away and stocks pretty much everything for a quick shopping trip, and there are several big grocery stores within a few miles of the condo as well as a Costco and WalMart close to the airport. Our lifesaver was the 24 hr Safeway by the airport as we arrived on a late night flight. Of course there are many restaurants within a few blocks of the condo, and Beach Street Cafe has great espresso (closest espresso shop we found, maybe three blocks up Kihei Rd).
The beach directly across the street is wonderful - nice sand, shallow water for a ways out, has a daytime life guard, decent bathrooms, and a large grassy park with ample shade. The pool was chilly and few folks spent time there, so I can't address the "drill sergeant" of a property manager with whom other guests had an issue.
In every regard this is a lovely place to stay for any period of time. We have no reason to look anywhere else the next time we visit Kihei. We know you will enjoy it!

Have been to Maui at least 15 times or more. First time I have written review for any unit. This building was built in 1974 . This condo is my least favorite. It's right off busy side st leading up to hiway so very noisy. Floor was not very clean . It's very dated from cooking utinsils to pots and pans. Washer dryer were replaced while we were staying new one bought on craigs list spin cycle will sound like helicopter landing so do early in the day . Room air fan in spare bedroom is very loud speeds up and down at night. I have stayed in alot nicer units for less money , seems Maui is going up every year however this unit is not worth the $ 4oo dollars a night with taxes and fees . We will be back next year but won't be staying here again . Parking is really ,really tight.better to park on street after unloading if you want any room. pool they claim is heated but I think only by the sun , temp varried daily. Plus side is unit is roomy , but as stated very dated needs major remodel . Maui has better places to stay .

Fantastic 9 day stay
-Condo is bigger than I thought which was a nice surprise to us
-Great to have two bedrooms and two bathrooms
-AC was great to have to cool off after a hot day outside
-Beach chairs were perfect for the beach
-Washer and dryer were great to have in the condo. They both took a long time to run a load. The washer door seal area smelled quite bad and should be fixed.
-I had picked this condo since it was close to the Kamole beaches and in my price range. It did not disappoint.
I would stay here again.

We loved this property … if you’re looking for super fancy, high end — this isn’t it. It is comfortable, convenient, well stocked with cooking gear, close to the beach, covered parking, very nice quiet pool, wonderful deck/lanai which was never noisy. We never turned on the a/c, it was perfectly comfortable without it. Four adults — so we needed the sofa bed, which wasn’t great but it was fine. Bathrooms are very nice, good showers, plenty of room for 4 women. I felt like this was a very good value for Maui and would absolutely go back. Excellent responsive communication with owner. WiFi worked well. We felt safe, and very happy. Thank you!

Central and clean. The location is a bit noisy (busy road, noisy rental neighbours, early morn garbage trucks), but super close to everything. The kitchen needs an upgrade - especially, the stove-top. Kitchen is very basically equipped.

Overall this is a fantastic property, particularly the location, and the views. It’s in a very good older development, quiet neighbours and clean. We try to stay at Haleakala Shores every time. It’s steps from Kam III beach, which is incredible. A 5 minute walk got us to many excellent restaurants and any other resource you would need as a traveller.
The unit itself is one of the least expensive Penthouse units - high ceilings, high fans. It faces north which is actually ideal: no direct sun (we got enough at the beach), and you can be on the lanai at sunset, without being forced back inside by the heat or intense light. The views are more than 170 degrees from Haleakala in the east, over acres of a natural green belt to West Maui and enough ocean to spy whales on occasion. The condition of the condo reflects the price point: comfortable furnishings and remodelled kitchen but not luxury-level. The guest bathroom was perfectly decent but could be ready for an update. Bonus is a well stocked beach equipment closet.
Overall this unit fit our multigenerational family perfectly and we would choose it again

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for my first trip to Maui!
Communication was very easy and we were provided a PDF file of everything we needed to know. Checking in was a breeze, no in-person contact needed which was great as we arrived at 10pm. A lot of the reviews talk about the assigned parking space so we decided to park outside on the grass. It was great because it was shaded with lots of room but if you have a low car be careful of the tree roots as there were many times we scraped our front bumper on them.
The condo itself was amazing! It had various appliances, utensils, shampoo & conditioner, and so many beach accessories!! There were various snorkelling equipment, beach chairs, boogie boards, pool floats, umbrella, mats, etc. If you stay here you do not have to worry at all about equipment! One thing we really loved about the condo was how sound proof is it. Once we shut the door to the main bedroom you could barely hear anyone talking in the second bedroom, even with the lanai doors open. This was a huge bonus!
The location was perfect for us because we planned to go out to explore everyday so we were far out enough from the main shopping centre so we never had to deal with traffic. There is a beach across the condo that is pretty nice, but is not our favourite because it is really rocky at some points. Be careful on the rocks because unfortunately a wave hit me pretty hard and I lost a toe-nail on a rock! But this beach had so many turtles when we were swimming close to shore, it was amazing to see!
Overall I couldn’t recommend this place enough, we will absolutely be coming back whenever we come to Maui again!

Very nice place, great furniture, sizable. However, there are only half walls between the bedrooms and the living room giving no sound barrier between the spaces. I had trouble sleeping while other people were awake and also would have liked some privacy. However, otherwise it is a great place to stay. We enjoyed the pool and the deck and walking to the beach for sunset.

This was one of the best VRBO rentals we have stayed at and I would definitely stay here again. So many good things to say. Comfortable beds (and pillows...very rare) and the king in the master was a big plus. The couch was comfortable, and the two chairs in the living room fully recline which was an excellent surprise. WiFi worked well (our daughter had to do online classes a few days and had no problems). There is lots of great beach equipment (coolers, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, masks and snorkels) although we ended up renting snorkel gear to get better fins and snorkels and it was worth it...we went to Snorkel Bob's). The beach is right across the street and we watched sunset every night. Walk down with the beach chairs and a beverage...very relaxing. The local beaches are a bit rocky so I recommend booties. The unit is close to the pool (you can see it from one of the bedrooms) which was great... shade and sunny spots, tables and chairs. Not sure the pool was "heated" when we were there in December, and it was a bit chilly but not too bad. The condo also had a nice cribbage board which we used a lot. Plenty of hangers and closet space. The kitchen was well equipped although I would have preferred a better coffee maker (but I'm picky about my coffee) and some tongs would be nice. There is a filtered water dispenser inside the fridge, which we did not notice right away. No ice maker in the fridge but there are plenty of ice trays. The electric cooktop was not super functional (burners didn't always stay on when you wanted them on...but I don't like electric cook tops so maybe not an issue is you are used to them). The property managers are pretty serious about leaf blowing so you will likely hear that most every day and frequent garbage pickup is a little noisy. Again, we would gladly stay at this property in the future. It was AWESOME!

The property and the location was everything we hoped for. This is our second time staying at this property and again the vacation was nothing short of spectacular. We walked across the road to the beach every morning and every evening to capture the sunrise and sunset and walked along the beaches and swam at the beaches, snorkelled at the beaches every day within walking distance. The location provided a base for short trips for snorkelling in the reserve, relaxing on Makena Beach, shopping in Lahaina, jumping off the rocks in Kaanapali and surfing on the north shore.
We will definitely look at staying at this location on our next trip to Maui. Mahalo Joe and Karen.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed in other units in this complex and love the location and large, two-bedroom units. Unfortunately, this unit did not live up to our expectations, primarily because it is in need of some tender loving care. The beds seemed fairly new and were comfortable, but the rest of the furniture was dated, worn out, and very uncomfortable. Most of the appliances and other amenities also need to be examined for wear and tear and many need to be replaced. It wouldn’t take much effort or expense to fix this rental so that it could be worth staying in.

Had one issue, not the fault of the owner or property manager, of noisy neighbours on our second night. Informed property manager and dealt with immediately and no more noise issues. Thanks for that.

We had a wonderful time at this condo. It was very easy to gain access and the pictures and description are accurate. It is comfortable and spacious with the twin bed area separated from the living room by sliding opaque doors. Location is great with a very short walk to 3 wonderful and connected beaches perfect for spectacular sunsets. We enjoyed many meals from food truck areas which are within a couple miles. The place is not fancy and could use some updating but was more than adequate for our needs.

One Word, LOVE!!!!, First time to Maui with Gazillion options, bumped into this condo and it was God sent. Perfect for my husband and I. Easy and friendly check in, walk to the beach for incredible sunsets. Owner Miss Linda was very friendly and communicative. It actually felt as if I was staying over in a family's home instead of a rental. That is how comfortable and flawless it was. Great size king size bed, great living area and kitchen. Coffee out on the patio felt like a dream.... Already searching for airline tickets planning our second trip. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Not worth the price, baseboards are all dirty, bathrooms full of sand, dusty, hair, even soap scum. , mats in bathroom look and feel dirty, very little in the kitchen to cook with, things broken.
The portable a/c they provided is rusted were the air blows out from, the fans are full of dust.
They took awhile to reply.
All they wanted to do was send someone to sweep when it needed a deep clean they had nothing to say to that when I mentioned it. They did refund cleaning fee which still was not worth the nightly price
the only pro about is was the location as its walking distance to the beach.

Good location across from the beach in a quaint town, but not entirely a waterfront view. Nice outside patio area. Very spacious. The master bedroom is enclosed by sliding panels, so not complete light/sound privacy from the other guests staying with us. Found and killed two cockroaches in the master bathroom and had some ants show up afterwards. After using the blender once and disassembling it, found mold in the bottom. Fridge handle was broken upon entry. So not perfect, had a few hiccups, but overall sufficient for our stay.

The location really could not be better. So much to do within walking distance including food and beach. Hop in the car and it doesn't take long to get to more great places.
The place is well stocked with beach chairs, snorkel equipment, towels, etc. We even found some coffee for the morning after arriving very late!
Aside from the location, Bob was very generous in helping us out when flights were delayed. He was always friendly and even sent a long list of activities and restaurants close by.

We have stayed in many units in Haleakela shores and this was just fine. Would stay here again. We had an issue and it was taken care of that day. Everyone complains about the parking at Haleakela but we had a van and it’s fine. Close to elevator so convenient. Not many places have covered parking.

We enjoyed our stay. It was a well stocked apartment, with almost everything we could need apart from groceries (and even then, there were lots of condiments and spices - we left some butter for the next guest). Safeway and the Times Market were a short drive away.
The beach gear was a real blessing - four beach chairs, two boogie boards (our teens enjoyed immensely), lots of beach towels, umbrellas, and plenty of snorkel chairs. There was lots of sunscreen, too. The bathrooms had everything, but with five of us, we almost ran out of TP and we did run out of paper towels.
We enjoyed having meals on the lanai where you can catch a distant glimpse of the sea. My husband grilled steaks down at the pool area and I enjoyed a refreshing swim there. Our teenage son connected his Switch to the TV so he could play games. We also watched shows on the living room TV as well the master bedroom TV.
The only slight drawback was that It was a bit hotter and noisier than we expected. We kept it closed up during the day (all the fans were great), but one window in the bedroom with the trifold sliding wall had no way of closing so that seemed to work against the A/C in the adjacent living room.
At night, we opened the doors and windows to cool it off, which meant hearing the street sounds and roosters crowing. Before bed, we pulled down all the blinds to keep out the light. It ended up working well to close up the master bedroom and turn on the A/C for a bit, so that cut out the noise in there.
The location is conveniently located across the street from a great beach for sunsets, swimming, boogie boarding, strolling the coast, and picnicking on the green (it's a family park with playground). There was also a local arts & crafts fair across the street on Wednesday where I bought a handmade purse. Restaurants and shops are close by. Happy hour at Three's Bar and Grill was a culinary bargain!
The rental owners were communicative and courteous. Karen greeted us when we arrived and replied to a text I sent later. The complimentary cake was an added blessing.

Great location and the stay made our Christmas wonderful! Karen went out of her way to ensure our check in process was smooth and even had decorated the place for Christmas, just lovely. Also, this was the perfect location for all of our activities!

Great condo , very well equipped kitchen with everything you will need., Great location. Beds are super comfortable. very clean unit,
The pool and BBQ area was hit and miss with outdoor cooking area being closed at sunset due to electrical issues with the lighting , witch made it difficult to cook for our group . Beyond this issue our stay was superb, and highly recommend this particular unit.

Our stay was absolutely perfect.
Fantastic location, so close to the beach, amenities and highway access.
Loved that the condo had a full kitchen, wash and dryer, beach chairs, A/C, two bathrooms, and private balcony.
Property owner was great with communication and accommodated us when I needed to extend my stay due to unforeseen circumstances.
We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend! Thank you for a perfect getaway for my family.

Everything good. Only we don’t like parking because of very Ricky.

We arrived at about 5:00 PM and found the property not cleaned. Unmade beds, dirty towels on the floor, dirty floors and counters, decaying food, etc. Contacted the property manager. She arranged for an "emergency cleaning", but we still couldn't settle in until almost 9:00 PM. Ended up finishing the laundry ourselves. The cleaning person was competent, efficient, and friendly. Location is convenient to several restaurants and some shopping. Kitchen and bathroom sinks attract mites.

Me and my family of 5 had a wonderful time at this unit. It was well equipped with all the amenities. The beds were comfy and even the the pull out couch mattress was comfortable for our 20 year old son. The kitchen had everything you'd need and the private parking space was a nice bonus.
Across the street is the beach and just steps away down the main road are all the restaurants/bakeries/supermarkets/bars you can imagine. Kihei is a great beach town.
We enjoyed trying out the different food trucks and did takeout several nights from Miso Phat Kihei (awesome sushi) which was just down the main road.
In a nut shell this was a no frills 2 BR 2 bath condo that had really everything you'd need to call it home during your stay and the location is prime.
Enjoy!

Bill was a pleasure to deal and made sure that all of the necessities were in the unit. My family (me, my wife, and my 7 year old son) had a great time.
Beds were comfortable. Building is conveniently located. Everything in the unit worked well. Lots of extras like full snorkel equipment, beach chairs, an umbrella, beach mats, towels, floaties, boogie boards, and more. Everything in the kitchen worked well. TV was a bit finnicky, but we weren't there to watch TV. Wifi worked well. Two sets of keys was greatly appreciated.
Pool use at the complex is a bit...underwhelming. The signage might as well say "no fun." We aren't rowdy by any stretch, but a family with kids in the 7-10 range were there when we were there and just tossing a ball around - not making a big ruckus, but having a bit of fun, and the assistant manager came out to tell them not to. Sure, those are the rules, but one can't help but wonder why. Small issue and easily resolved by going to the beach 100 metres away.
Lots of decent food nearby (Fred's was good for breakfast, Coconuts for tacos, etc) - most of it a short walk. Convenient location to go play golf at Wailea.
Overall, no complaints and very happy with the unit and would be happy to return.
Thanks for letting us stay!

This property was even better than it looked in the pictures! It is right across the street from an amazing beach! The lanai looks out on the beach and sunsets! The beds were super comfortable, even the pull-out sofa bed! The kitchen was well stocked. There are nice new AC units in each room! If you are planning to have a guest on the sofa, note that the bathrooms are located inside both bedrooms, so that can be tricky. Also, the pool is insanely cold! My kids, who don’t think anything is too cold, wouldn’t go in it! Other than that, we LOVED this place and would happily return. It is by far the best place we have stayed on Maui.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was located close to everything and was nice to have such a large space. We have older teenagers and having more than just a 1 bedroom was key.
It’s a little dated but so are most of the comparable condos. It was clean and close to downtown. We would stay here again.

Overall the location was perfect. Walkable to many stores, restaurants and, of course, the beaches. Losts of beach chairs. Pack and play for the baby was a plus. Cleaning could be taken up a notch. The back rails of chairs and corners in the room needed attention. The washing machine, which was fairly new, broke on our last day. We were able to get it working, but that was a frustration. Air conditioning and the whole house fan could use an upgrade.

Rental process was smooth, great communication with owners. On site management are friendly. Grounds are well kept. As a road facing unit there is noise, the most annoying is the daily early morning garbage pick up. Unless you’re an early riser (6:30am) you’ll want to keep your windows closed overnight to reduce road noise and use a/c. A/c units are on a 4 hr timer though to prevent overuse, but this is not convenient for keeping cool all night without having to get up and reset it. However, the views of the ocean are amazing - bring binoculars if you want to whale watch right from the lanai. Location to beaches is great, lots of beach items available to use. Would stay again.

My family and I (2 adults and 4 kids under 12) enjoyed our stay. Hard to beat having a great beach across the street and a short drive to any number of others. We didn’t spend a lot of time in the condo but it was a great home base with all the amenities we needed. Would stay again. Jeff was very responsive to questions leading up to and throughout our stay.

This condo came exactly as advertised - super clean, in an excellent location, and plenty of room for our family of four (two boys - 4 and 7). I was especially impressed with the communication, the labels by all of the light and fan switches (so user-friendly!), and the cleanliness and coziness of the place. The kitchen was very well stocked (there was even a Vitamix!) - although if you are planning on cooking a lot, you will need to bring your own basics beyond salt and pepper (not a complaint, just a heads up if you plan to stay here). The walk to the Kamaole Beach parks 2 and 3 is short, and it's a very short drive to Kam 1, if you decide to go there. Because of the location to family friendly beaches, this turned out to be a perfect place for our family to spend Christmas boogie boarding! Lots of restaurants and amenities nearby. The host was very warm and responsive. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Bob and Carol's condo was a wonderful place for our Maui Christmas vacation. We have a family of five, so it's hard to fit in a hotel room, and the condo had lots of room for us to relax. The location is so convenient for walking to some great family friendly beaches, and we went somewhere on foot every day. The condo was very clean and comfortable, and the Hawaiian themed decor was charming. It felt like staying in the home of real Maui lovers. We would love to come again!
