This place was amazing! Steps from the beach which made it easy for the kiddos to play in the water. Great pool for some salt free swim time. And the out the main bedroom and off the porch was something we could have watched all day. Saw plenty of whales playing in the distance and turtles swimming by right along the shore. Would definitely stay here again!

This property is generally above the norm, however, not "newly renovated" as advertised. Toilet was unsteady and leaking downstairs and a window in downstair bedroom inoperable. For the price and fees paid, I expect a higher standard of care.

We enjoyed our stay in one of the Kahana Outrigger Condos which was part of the condo complex. Views of the ocean and pool made for great water enjoyment. We have been to Maui before but not this part of the island. Enjoyed many wonderful beaches and the snorkeling was great at many of them in close driving distance from our condo! This trip continued grandfather's/grandmother's High School "Spring Break Trip" gift for the upcoming graduation of grandchildren. Our third (youngest grandchild) wanted to go to Hawaii. So, seven of us (ages 18 to 77) enjoyed the spacious condo in Kahana! Also, the many TV's in the rooms helped us enjoy the "March Madness Basketball Games!" Saddened though, because our Wisconsin Badgers & Marquette teams did not make it to the finals! A wonderful trip that gave us many great family memories.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Wonderful location, within walking distance from shops, restaurants, small grocery stores, and within driving distance from major supermarkets Etc. I’ve stated a lot of VRBO. This one had a very well stocked kitchen, with Pots and pans and utensils you could need for anything. Some spices, etc. Provided shampoo conditioner, body wash. Everything you could need.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The location was very nice and the private beach area was used often. While swimming at our beach we had 3 different sea turtles swimming nearby, lots of fish to see, and a great time. Thank you for having us.

This unit is a two story walk up, with a loft bedroom for a total of three stories to walk up so if you have any mobility issues not for you. The main issue with this property is that it was advertised as having a hot tub, which it did not have. Our family enjoys watching sunset, followed by a good soak in the hot tub in the evenings, so this part of our vacation was greatly missed. The unit was well stocked w/ spices, sun screens, laundry soap etc. The beds were comfy, and enough sleeping spots for our entire family. The only bedroom with an actual door is the kids room w / the bunk beds and queen bed. The other two rooms w/ King beds are a loft and a sliding mirror door off the main room/Kitchen so not very private. The furniture on the patio is a bit uncomfortable. The large sectional sofa offered great seating for the whole family. We enjoyed our stay on Maui, but missed that hot tub!

The accommodations are wonderful, nicer in real life than in the ad pictures. Well laid-out 3BD/3BA unit, with minimal stairs. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need to cook a meal. High quality blender (perfect for making Chi-Chi's), high quality utensils for cooking, etc. The bathrooms are lovely, the showers are heavenly!! Plenty of towels and beach towels. The pool and ocean/beach are right there - we visited daily. Pool is lovely and recently upgraded. Beach access was phenomenal to have available at our fingertips. Giant turtles were resting on the beach a few of the days we were there, plus two giant turtles swam among us as we were floating in the ocean. It was whale season and they were everywhere! Multiple sightings daily! Loved the reserved parking spot right in front of unit. We ate at Merriman's, Mama's Fish House, and Duke's - all wonderful! Store, restaurants, close by. Grounds of the complex were beautifully maintained. We would definitely stay in this unit again! Communications with Owners was exceptional. Just book it - you won't be sorry!

This condo was exactly what we needed for our family vacation. Walking distance to a few places and right on the ocean. It had almost everything we needed and things we didn’t even know we needed. Check in/out process was clear and easy. We found the pool chilly but it was still amazing. Will definitely try to return.

This unit was perfect for our girls trip. We loved that we had direct access to the beach. We were able to watch the whales right from our unit. We also seen turtles and a Monk Seal on the beach. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed.

This is an exceptional location. This small low-rise complex is a welcome change from the mega-resorts. This ocean facing unit has a perfect view of the ocean and is just steps from what is practically a private beach. Amazing whale sightings from shore throughout our stay. Unit was perfect for our seven guests.

The house was exactly as pictured. The staff was quick to respond with any questions that I had. Would gladly stay here again next time we are in Maui.

Sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean roll in, capturing beautiful sunsets, and watching whales jump around is incredible. Just below you is a grassy patch to toss a ball around, exercise, and scrape the sand from your feet. Then, use the shower by the pool to not carry any sand with you. The home itself is perfect with all the space you need-rooms, beds, bathrooms, and a big ol couch to watch TV or relax with a book. There’s a breakfast bar, a dining table, and a 4-seater on the balcony for your morning mug of coffee. You can escape the chaos in your private room or join the fun once you’re rested. We did laundry so be we could come home and just unpack. The host even helped us out with a last minute change in our flight itinerary that saved us hundreds of dollars and hours of time. Thank you again. Loved every moment.

Our family had an enjoyable visit to Maui, despite the daily rain. The condo location was good and we spent a lot of time on the large lanai whale watching. Bring your binoculars! The condo had a lot of amenities that worked well for our family of 7 adults. The best was a table that expanded to seat 8. The kitchen was well appointed but needed a thorough cleaning. The separate wine cooler was a nice touch. Two of the bedrooms were master suites but storage was tight. We had to remove items out of the closets so that we could hang our clothes. The unit has an outside storage unit that had lots of items to take to the beach (chairs, etc). The unheated pool was conveniently next to the unit. Two gas grills were there for everyone's use. The beach directly in front of the unit was small. A larger beach was a short walk away. Unfortunately the combination didn't allow long walks on the beach so we had to drive to Kaanapali Beach for that.

In the 10+ years of vacationing in Maui, Miranda was the most responsive host. The condo is in a great location, very clean and just as advertised. It is perfect for families as well. This is definitely a hidden gem and we can't wait to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. We were two families sharing and the set up worked very well. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. The view from the lanai is unbeatable!

We have been renting this unit since 2004 - we don’t stay anywhere else in Maui. It’s just enough space and the location can’t be beat.

Great place. Clean and nicely furnished. Unit below has an air conditioner in the window with the bearings out of the motor and makes a very load shrill noise. It was difficult to walk by it each time I had to enter the property. An exterminator left a note that they would be spraying the next day, We did not feel comfortable with that since we had an infant and a pregnant lady staying there. I emailed the host but never heard back. We left a note on the door asking them not to spray and never heard wither way.

We brought our 2 adult daughters and their significant others. The 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom layout was perfect. The condo is well equipped and nicely updated. The ocean is right there, allowing for easy sunset and whale watching. Great stay!

The property was perfect for our group of friends. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed from the kitchen to the beach. The view from the lanai was perfect for watching whales and the sunset. The location was great to access a number of local beaches and restaurants. The pool was a lovely place to relax as well. We would definitely stay here again.

We love Kahana Outrigger! We’ve stayed at this property before, and it never disappoints. Beautiful, private beach, lovely landscaping and nice pool area. It’s always very quiet, and the views are amazing! We watched many whales from our lanai. The condo itself was nice, but it definitely could use a deep clean. The remotes and cabinet handles were sticky. We moved a bed over to fit a mattress in for our kids, and it was so dirty underneath my husband had to change his socks. We had to buy hand soap for the bathrooms and paper towel towards the end of the trip- there was only one roll for a family of 7. Exposed electrical wire was hanging inside a closet. For the price, we expected more, but still enjoyed our vacation.

Well I have to say you can't get closer to the beach or water unless you are sitting in it! This condo is in a great location. We were there during Christmas 2023 and the island was welcoming after the fires. It was good to feel we were supporting with our tourist $'s. The unit has a wonderful balcony (for about 4-5 people), nice large kitchen and comfortable LR. The master is on 2nd floor which is open balcony to LR, so not super private if you are on the phone (but you shouldn't be in HI!!). The other two BR's were perfect and it was very comfortable. I'd welcome going back in future and highly recommend the property.

February 2024

We spent a beautiful 10 days in this wonderful unit. Most of us enjoyed listening to the sounds of the waves as we fell asleep. There is a nice little beach out front of the unit which is good for swimming and the pool is also nice. The location is great being close to Napili beach and Kanapali beach and restaurants. The manager was super easy to get a hold of and overall we really enjoyed our stay!! Hope to be back again soon:)

I have been using VRBO for many many years when I travel to Maui and have stayed in a lot of great condos. This one is the cream of the crop, by far. The condo is spacious, well kept, and well supplied. The views are out of this world! One thing I always look for is whether the host has supplied the kitchen with decent quality cookware and dishes and this one definitely does. I usually travel with my own chef's knife but this time I forgot... but it was fine because the knives in this kitchen were high quality and very sharp! This may sound like a silly detail, but when you travel, its the details that matter! Dara was a very gracious and responsive host and took great care of us during our stay. Will definitely re-book soon.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Very quiet and spacious, with a short walk to the sand. My kids enjoyed swimming in the pool daily and it was an easy drive to the other parts of the island that we visited and did sightseeing. The best part was the sunset view each evening right from our balcony. Will be back!

Condo is so close to the water that it feels like you're on a houseboat! Awesome views and nice private beach.

This older 3 bedrooms and 2 bathroom apartment in a small complex was large enough for a comfortable stay for a family with two teens and an 11 year old. Management were very quick to fix issues when they arose. The kitchen is small but functional with good appliances and cookware. The laundry is in the 3rd bedroom and was well used. The outlook is beautiful and the sounds of the waves were lovely at night. It is 10 minutes from the action at Koonapali beach for restaurants and shopping. The local Miso Phat restaurant however had great quality sushi and was good value compared to other restaurants in the region. The beach out the front of the apartment isn’t good for snorkelling but we did see turtles and whales close to shore.

The condo was very clean and well taken care of. We had everything we needed for a day at the beach or an evening of cooking and spending time together. Safe and friendly place to stay. Would highly recommend.

This property was our favorite part of our Maui trip. It is steps away from the pool and beach, and allowed all of us to come and go from the sunshine as we pleased. Maui is definitely open and everyone in the community was so welcoming and friendly. They seemed to really appreciate our business. We booked excursions, ate at the local restaurants, and shopped for souvenirs just as we have in years past. The hosts were super responsive and helpful when our flights were unexpectedly changed. We’d love to come back and stay here again.

Our stay was wonderful! I can’t say enough about the view from the Lanai. We came to Maui for our 50th year anniversary and to share it with our two adult children plus their family members. I wanted to relax and read but we kept busy going places and enjoying life on Maui. It was so nice to see the west side doing so well. Thank you for your hospitality. The Coleman Clan. The plus 1 was our grandson’s Girlfriend who is a sweetheart.

This trip symbolized a return to Maui in many ways for us, and hopefully symbolized the path to normalcy for its residents. We were welcomed everywhere we went across Maui with many thanks for returning to visit their cherished island. Even our host shared in this spirit by donating almost 1000 dollars of our visit to charity. Additionally, they let people stay there for over a month during the tragedy. For us this return also marked my mom’s 70th birthday, my return from 15 years ago to Maui on my honeymoon, and our kids first Hawaii adventure. On all counts this was our favorite place we ever stayed at Maui and a truly special trip. The place was great with very good air conditioning, comfy beds, and a very quiet and secluded space. Our kids got avocados from the tree outside that we ate and became a morning ritual hunting for them. We saw a whale from the balcony the last day and a turtle out in front. Our favorite snorkeling was airport beach just 10 minutes away. We ate pike bowls at miso phat only .2 of a mile away and had a whole Maui gold pineapple everyday (3 dollars at Costco). We cooked breakfast and lunch at the house and it was nicely equipped. Our host even let us check out at 7 pm on our last day for a small fee. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend and hope we can stay there again someday! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

So many good things to say about our experience on this trip! The unit itself is beautifully remodeled and the hosts have clearly put a lot of thought into the items they provide for their guests. Everything was very clean, comfortable, organized and Sherri was very responsive to any questions we had. We stayed for 8 nights and had no trouble finding activities (golf, zipline, snorkeling) and restaurants to keep us busy and well fed. We especially loved the beach at the property which was never over crowded and perfect for floating in the surf. We certainly missed Lahaina, but took the opportunity to explore more of the island than we might have otherwise and had a fantastic trip. Respect the privacy of the locals, tip generously and be a 'good' guest and you'll see that the hospitality you'd expect from Maui is stronger than ever.

We have stayed at the Outrigger many times in several different units over the years and always have had a great stay. Communication with the property manager on this unit was exceptional. I highly recommend this property if you like a smaller complex for your vacation. Very spacious and well equipped and the ocean front setting is hard to beat.

There’s nothing like waking up to the ocean right in front of you! Morning coffee, lots of lanai time just enjoying the ocean view and sunsets. We saw turtles one morning at the beach next door. Unit had everything we needed for pool and beach days. Our hearts hurt for Maui. ❤️ Beautiful people and culture.

The condo is in a beautiful location with a beach and pool. While older and not renovated, it vas very clean, comfortable, and had such an amazing view. The owner was very kind to work with us as our family got separated due to the fires. This is a gem of a place to stay.
