We never met or spoke with the owner, just with Vacasa. I couldn't sleep in the nice bed, even with earplugs, because the window in the bedroom was stuck open, with a koi pond and noisy waterfall right outside. I'm a light sleeper, so I had to sleep on the livingroom couch for 6 nights.Vacasa sent a man the day after I alerted them to the issue. He said the window needed to be replaced, and he'd look into it, but it hadn't been fixed by the time we left. Also..one of the lamps in the living room didn't work, and the bottom of the lanai curtain was torn.

We had a great trip! The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The view from the balcony is amazing—we saw sea turtles, whales, and dolphins during breakfasts and dinners overlooking the bay.Robert and Kristy were wonderful hosts. We did have an issue with the bedroom AC units not keeping up with the heat, but Kristy was very responsive and quickly arranged for them to be replaced with better units, which made a big difference and allowed us to sleep comfortably.We would be very happy to stay here again!

Very welcoming, thank you for the coffee and cookies! Unit was very well appointed, clean, terrific location. Host very responsive to our initial comments. Best surprise was whale watching from the lanai at breakfast! As well as the canoe club.

The owner was very cordial and responsive in answering my questions in a timely manner. The view from the balcony was fabulous. The drawbacks were the sliding glass doors to the balcony were very difficult to open and close, the screen doors were off the track so we didn’t even bother opening the bedroom patio door. The shower knob in the one bathroom was difficult to turn off and on and in the other bathroom the lower bar of the towel rack fell off. The one bedroom’s king size bed had a flat sheet on the bottom versus a fitted sheet, and that was very annoying trying to keep it in place. The entry door had to be shut hard in order to close, and I was concerned about it disturbing the other nearby residents. We would not recommend this condo to our friends or rent it again. Sorry.

The host was very communicative. She answered all my questions the same day. On the day we arrived, we had trouble getting in, through no fault of the host, and she answered my call immediately and helped us get in. The condo was clean and as advertised. We wanted for nothing. The condo was supplied with blankets, linens, paper towels, beach chairs, and umbrellas. From the balcony, we saw whales, turtles, and snorelers. It was a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee every morning.

It was a perfect view. 5th floor, center. Sunrise over Haleakala, turtles (12 on beach one night) and whales! Condo had everything for a comfortable stay (although would have liked a/c in bedroom).

Waking up to turtles just outside in the water most mornings, walking to the shops and food and harbor excursions were great! Also, text communication was so easy

We had a wonderful stay! The sea view from the balcony was absolutely amazing and we truly loved the place. The owners were very responsive and quick to help with anything we needed. As a small suggestion, it would be nice to have basic items like coffee provided, but overall the experience was excellent.

Perfect location to explore the entire island! Loved the ocean views and the short walk to the swimming beach just .2 miles away. Clean and comfortable. Everything you would need for your stay in Maui. We also took advantage of the beach chairs for sunset from the West side and appreciated the little cooler & basic toiletries, laundry soap etc.

Kathy's condo was nice. The air-conditioning was not enough to cool off the entire condo. I had a major confrontation with the property manager and felt the need to leave earlier than my original date. I felt very unsafe due to his violently verbal assault.

Convenient location.. close (walking distance) to a nice beach. Although it is oceanfront, it is on a rocky beach wall. Reasonably clean. Minimal interaction with HOA staff.
The Vacasa staff responded promptly for questions about the room safe, but unfortunately were not able to resolve the situation. Met our needs. The air conditioner is marginal in effectiveness for the condo… it is at the opposite end from the bedroom, which luckily does have a ceiling fan.

Our stay was just as we expected! Perfect views from our balcony, nightly we were able to see the sea turtles come ashore. The unit was comfortable, no a/c in tge bedroom but a lot of fans and a great breeze that made it no issue at all! Overall the property was a good location to explore the island from and the pool area was nice. We feel a hot tub would be a great addition, but not a deal breaker!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST CONDO EVER! We spent the summer on the islands and this was by far the BEST condo! From Lani to Molokai, hands down this condo takes the cake and we will definitely be back!

On a scale of 1 to 5 I would give it a 3. Starting with the view and working to the door, the view was beautiful. The patio had either to much furniture or it was to big for the space. The air conditioner drip on floor other than in tub (needs repair) the screen door and sliding glass door fall of track and continually needs to be put back on track (needs Repair) In the living room the air conditioner makes excessive noise, the couch needs to be replaced and it would have nice to get instructions on TV. Two remotes one Phillips the other spectrum doing different things volume on/off etc. Also, dirty rug in living room. Kitchen was great, however it needs more silver ware. Bathroom needs immediate attention to replace the handheld shower and clean dirt on fan. The bedroom needs new mattress and again no instructions on TV (what channels and premium Channels). The floor fan blew it filter all over when turned on, replace filter or get rid of. The key by the door had no explanation for its use. Last stall 74 is horrible Get rid of the garbage container so a person doesn't have to back out to the street The pool needs wind barriers, and a bathroom would be nice Photos on request

Ultra clean and functional condo with great ocean view. Its windy in Maalea but the location is central and non touristy. It’s a hidden gem. Most notably Sunny Maui Vacations has an exceptional customer service team that always responds promptly. If you need any thing they will be there for you. Its just really professionally run with lots of aloha.

The a/c was broken. They said there would be fans delivered to help. No fans arrived. It was very uncomfortable sleeping at night. If they get the a/c fixed I would stay again.

The location and view from the lanai is spectacular. We would watch the sea turtles every day. Some furniture is in need of replacement- two patio chairs were unusable. The property manager replaced the chairs as soon as they received permission from the owner but it took a couple days. The couch is uncomfortable but the beds were nice. Carpet in second bedroom is stained and there is paint chipping in the 2nd bathroom shower. I think the place could use some minor maintenance and it would be perfect.

Just as described. Sitting on the balcony, the ocean is right there. Surfers, sea turtles. Relaxing.

The property was exactly as advertised. The check-in, entry and parking was a breeze. The grounds are excellently maintained. Consistent with other reviews, this area offers great views from the balcony and was where we enjoyed all our meals. We took full advantage of the grill at the pool area. Our morning and evening walks were equally divided between the beach (a short distance away) and the harbor (also a short distance away in the opposite direction). The central location allowed a great base for our daily island excursions. We were rarely in the condo during the day light hours. The exception was when we would hang out on the balcony to watch the hordes of local surfers when tides and waves provided the perfect venue to display their skills. Please note that the condo warms up during the day but the constant wind provides relief and comfort in the evenings. Kathy and her team were both proactive and responsive to any questions or issues.

Leslie was great to work with. She responded quickly to any questions I had. The unit is nice and was everything we needed. The bed in the master is amazing and we slept great!The AC in the living room is awesome and we actually had to turn it down. The one in the master bedroom never seemed to really cool off that room enough. The room is around the corner from the living room and doesn't really get the air from the living room. Thankfully, there are ceiling fans. There is also a fan in the closet which I pulled out and used that made it bearable. From other reviews, we were hoping to snorkel right out front with our kids, but that was not possible. The waves were too big when we were there and visibility looked to not be good. We used this place as a based camp and it was great for that. When we came back later in the day or night, parking spot is right there, easy to get in and out. We would go spray off the sand at the showers by the pool and then go swimming. The pool is small but amazing. We loved it! It was a great finish to our days.
