Had a lovely stay here. Cute and cozy, with an amazing view. it's located right on a very infrequented section of the ocean that's shallow and perfect for turtle frolicking.Close to the outstanding Miso Phat for sushi, Hawaiian Village Coffee for coffee and great handheld breakfast, and a couple miles from the amazing breakfast spot, The Gazebo.The ocean sings you to sleep, and the place is decorated and provisioned wonderfully.Highly recommended!

This was a very nice property and the view is spectacular! That alone made it worth every dime. So many whales!!!It really needs the addition of a mini-split A/C system. It offered a single rolling A/C unit that can only be vented where it sits in the living area. It doesn’t cool the bedroom. If you don’t mind sleeping in mid to upper 70 degree temps, it likely won’t be an issue. There is a slatted-glass window next to the sliding glass door. The steel lever that allows for opening and closing was broken off, so the unit has a window open 24/7. We toughed out the warm temps that first night and woke up to the yard maintenance being performed. We knew we needed to seal it off to cool down the place, but to keep the yard dust out too, so we headed to the hardware store and bought painter’s tape and plastic to seal it off from the outside. It helped, but we still had to sleep on the foldout couch for comfortable sleeping temps. We did not request service since the plastic fixed it well enough for us and we wouldn’t feel like we needed to hang around while we waited for someone to address the issue.

Fiirst impressions were the front of building looked a bit rough.However once you walk in the view is spectatular. The condo is well supplied and all the apprehension goes away Easy access for all our activities.You should walk to Captain Jacks for Pau Hana...and on Tuesdays visit the little keiosk across the street for some home baked goodies. Will book this again for our whale watch season

My wife and I really enjoyed our 6 night stay, especially the view from the balcony watching the whales outside, the sunset, and the view of Molokai and Lanai. We hope to return soon!

Everything was as advertised. Cannot beat a ground level unit right on the water. Loved the views, turtles, pool and clean, quiet grounds. Don’t pass this one by.

The place was as great as the pictures. But I was astonished at how many whales we were able to see just while looking out from the lanai.

Reviewer Comments:
This rental exceeded all our expectations. After staying in a busy part of the island, we were ready for the privacy and relaxation. Every detail of this rental was carefully designed and decorated. We enjoyed walking to a nearby little beach, walking for chinese take-out, and parking at the bottom or our stairs. We watched whales each morning and evening. Everything was comfortable, clean, new, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this rental for a couple wanting to relax and enjoy spending time at a rental. The pictures are accurate and we loved the Boho style. Loved it!

This was our third time staying there. We love it, and have made many friends in the area. The ocean is right there, and you can see the turtles popping up for air right out your window. You can also the see the whales in the distance in the winter months. It is within walking distance to a Whaler's store, (convenience store) if you're okay without a side walk, and close to restaurants and a few shops. Not the best place for kids, we would say it's more suited to adults, due to no railing on the sea wall.

Property is clean, amenities are easy to use, whales, whales, whales (we were there in February).King bed is comfy, everything was “spot-on”. Owner came, without calling, to replace batteries in the lock. Bery nice stay!

View was great. Kitchen good,bathroom needs work , front door is missing wood paneling. Needs some TLC. To be honest I was afraid to open the door after seeing the condition. But it was ok. Needs work.

We loved this stay in Maui! From our lanai we saw whales multiple times daily, spotted a monk seal twice, watched a fisherman catch an eel, watched a local turtle swim several times and on our last night saw two small (harmless) sharks feet from the beach!The condo was great! Our only suggestion is for new beach chairs. Those provided were rusted and literally broken. We will stay here again!

The condo is situated on a breathtaking part of Maui. It’s worth renting the place just for the view from the balcony. The unit had everything that we needed for a delightful stay and we would like to come back in the future.

If you want a beautiful deck feet from the ocean with expansive views of the water, Molokai, and Lanai; endless witness of whales breaching; falling asleep to the sounds of the waves either from the bed inside or the amazing daybed on the deck; and spectacular sun and moon sets, you’ve found your happy place. Beautifully appointed and wonderful location close to anything you’ll desire.

Great condo and location, our family likes rain or waves sounds at night and the natural waves crashing was perfect. The pool was great, never crowded and perfect temp. Stores and shops close by. Condo was supplied well with everything and nice to haves that you might need but don’t want to buy. We had a great time. A/C would have made it perfect but it was never overbearing or too uncomfortable

Loved the view, Condo was comfortable except for the bedroom. Closet was a mess, needed several fans in bedroom to sleep. The fans that were supplied were falling apart, but I made them work.Did not like that the extra charges from vrbo, and some extra charges made the cost for the Condo, not a fair buy in my opinion.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The view is amazing! I would come here again for that reason alone. The condo is immaculate. It feels like an upper-end hotel with more space and amenities. The location is great and within walking distance to a local coffee shop and a few restaurants. I would definitely come back to this property again.

Overall the unit is ok. The location is good, the view is excellent but the lani furniture needs to be replaced. Lounge chair was broken. The is ok but needs a better cleaning and is due for paint. The kitchen is fine and the ice maker in the fridge is a plus.

Even better than we expected. This little slice of heaven is so dreamy. My husband and I slept so good in the comfy bed. Enjoyed watching turtles and whales from the lanai each morning! Amazing sunset views. Perfect location. Had everything we needed. Great beach chairs and umbrella with a cooler was awesome to have. We will definitely be back! Mahalo!

Lovely unit that is no more than 25 feet from the breakwater. The constant waves breaking against it are soothing and invigorating.The unit is very well appointed with tons of beach equipment. The snorkeling right there is interesting. We saw turtles, and fish, as well as a daily show of tail and fin flaps spouts and several amazing breaches. Would stay again. Thank you for sharing your little slice of Aloha with us!

Nice Molokai Views and typical Napili/Khana apartmentUnhappily the public walkway adjoins the only Lanai ....along with a Public Outdoor Shower only a few feet awayfrom your outdoor lounging and dining room table. people constantly gather in front of your views on the Public Lawnparticularly morning, afternoon, sunsets and when dining! NO PRIVACY at allBeware, if you are looking for a peaceful seaside stay!!!front of your view

The location feels tucked away and private, even though it's close to everything. The view was mesmerizing. Having a beach literally 100 feet from the lanai was wonderful and it was especially nice to be able to swim there in winter- no rough waves. The pool was even closer, although I preferred the ocean. Don & Yolanda were very accommodating of my flight schedules, especially at the end of my stay and had a late flight out. I appreciated all they have done to make this a very comfortable home away from home.

We stayed at the property and had a fabulous time. The host was so great to communicate with and the property was just beautiful. Right outside the lanai is the ocean. We saw sea turtles right from the lawn and the star gazing at night was amazing. We had a wonderful time.

We had a fantastic stay! The unit is exactly as pictured and described, and it is stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable for a few days. The lanai is just to die for! We spent so much time there having coffee, reading, or eating takeout while watching the turtles, surfers, and even whales. There are a few restaurants, cafes, and a beach within walking distance, and tons more within a short drive. One of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in!

I hesitated when I saw that it was a ground floor unit, but pleasantly surprised when we arrived. It’s a private area with an excellent view of the water which really is 60 feet away from your patio. China Boat is a restaurant across the street which we had takeout from and ate on our patio and it was excellent. The accommodations were magnificent. They really do have a gem on Maui.

One of the best VRBO rentals we have ever experienced. Unit is right on the ocean. In the morning saw turtles, whales and gorgeous sunrise. Photos are very accurate. It is perfectly furnished and decorated. We are told one of the few units with A/c that worked excellent. Location cant be beat. Communication with rental firm was top notch and VERY prompt. We would return in a heartbeat! Thanks for sharing your property as it created some wonderful memories.

The condo was beautiful. We really enjoyed the balcony and saw turtles everyday swimming by. The beach was easy to reach but was rocky and there were turtles there as well. Close to Lahaina for shopping and restaurants, we cooked and ate on the balcony and the kitchen had everything we needed.
