We shared this unit with my parents. It was well equipped. the AC worked well, the unit was clean. Everything listed as an amenity was available and in good working condition. When our flight was changed and we arrived earlier than expected, we were able to check-in early. Hanging out on the balcony at night was lovely. Nothing to do with this unit, but the beach associated with the property is not ideal, especially for children, but Kapalua Beach and Napili Beach are amazing and about a 5 minute drive. The pool is wonderful for children, there is a toddler pool and a bigger pool, so can accommodate very young kids (ours was 2 and loved it) and older kids as well. The property is lovely, well maintained and with plenty of lounge chairs. There is a common area right near the beach with shade and tables where you can see turtles and whales and get a bit of a breeze when it is hot. The communication with the owner was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this unit and appreciate the communication from the owner.

The actual unit was fine, but the air conditioning did not work from the time we checked in. I specifically reserved a condo with AC because of the children. We had 2 small children (ages 9 months and 2 years) and even with fans, nap time and sleeping at night was terrible. I called the property manager immediately after check-in and pretty much every day after that. At day four of our stay, they did send out a repairman. At day 5, it was fixed and stayed fixed for 2 days. Then it crapped out again. I asked that we be relocated to a different unit, nope. I called every day, begging for them to fix this thing, but nope. Also, not as important, but still desirable, the microwave didn't work from day one. We were told a replacement would be delivered but it never was. I did call more than once about this as well. They did issue a miniscule refund (about 10% of the amount we had paid). This was an expensive vacation for us, and Maui is gorgeous, but we were so sleep deprived it was hard to enjoy. Once we started having difficulties, I looked at the reviews again, because this unit had received good reviews. I noticed someone rented this unit earlier and posted that the microwave was broken and not fixed during their stay. I suspect that the microwave was never replaced and remained in that state until we arrived. Even if they fixed the AC, I would avoid this unit, because you can bet if anything goes wrong, it will not be fixed

Clean condo with plenty of space for our family of four, beautiful ocean view from the balcony. The small beach was so convenient at the end of the day when the kids wanted to have more ocean time after visiting other nearby larger beaches. Also cool to see turtles right where we were staying. The pool was very well heated, never overly crowded, so we enjoyed that too. Would definitely stay here again!

This gem of a location was ideal! The Kahana Sunset condos are nestled around a small private cove. This location has perfect views of the ocean and, as the name suggests, gorgeous sunsets. Turtles regularly play around the rocks by the cove and the water is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. There was a bit of rain but that didn't diminish the experience. We swam in the pool instead. There were several other families but it never felt crowded. The location is minutes from a grocery store in Napili and the kitchen was fully stocked so we could make meals when we didn't feel like going out to eat. Probably the best amenity was the washer/dryer. This made it really easy and comfortable to swim multiple times a day without having to deal with wet suits and towels. We'd definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay at Kahana Sunset - A Honu World. We came for Spring Break and while being on the west side adds time to any Maui adventure, the sunsets were worth it. We enjoyed seeing a turtle on the beach, the pool was lovely and working with the Mary was easy. I appreciated the tips about the area both in email before we arrived and in the guest book. The unit was perfect for our family of 5 and the kids loved their room. There could be a few more cooking items - cup measures, trays for using the grill, a pineapple corer (wonderful tool). On the whole though, we had everything we needed. If we ever make it back to Maui, we would stay at Kahana again!

This was a comfortable and convenient condo for our Maui holiday. Most things we needed were there and everything was working well. The beds were comfortable. The beach on site is tiny due to erosion but still allows access directly to the ocean without ha ING to drive somewhere and there were turtles right there in the bay. Parking was within a couple spots of our door always. The listing was incorrect, to our surprise we had access to air conditioning in the living area and both bedrooms (6 hour timer so we woke up and reset it during the night), not just the master. Lots of families and it felt safe and relaxed there. Clean enough but could use a deep scrub (I cleaned the cabinet fronts when we arrived for example). No oven mitts but we didn't ask for them and made do without. Starter supply of products although only one set of bathroom/shower products so if we hadn't brought any with us we would have had to use one shower at a time until we got to the store. Only two dishtowels and just a sponge no dishcloth so getting the glass tables to look clean was not the easiest. Would happily stay there again, but would bring some microfibre cloths and oven mitts.

Not being able to stay in the F Building, Steve at Sullivan properties gave us the perfect alternative. It’s quiet, perfect front row seat for whale watching and a wonderful sanctuary on the patio for your morning coffee. Best stay ever!!

This unit is a bit older so there is some wear and tear. The host does a good job at keeping it as nice as possible. It has the three most important items for real estate; location, location, location. Fantastic views of ocean, shoreline and sunset. Convenient access to restaurants. Green turtle and humpback whale sitings almost every day (we were there in mid-March).

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kahana Sunset is a gem - everything you need right there. 50 steps to the ocean and 100 steps to the pool. Bbqs with a view and turtle and whale sightings galore. The unit A3 could use a bit of updating and could be more thoughtfully equipped ( would be nice to have mugs and drinking glasses bigger than 2 sips), but adequate given amenities of the resort. Good bed and shower, but needs new carpet. Daly and updating kitchen and ensuite would go a long way.

I was worried about booking this unit based on reviews but found the unit to be in good condition. It does need some TLC and a new coat of paint otherwise we booked for the oceanfront view. We slept with the windows open every night listening to the ocean. Our kids enjoyed the heated pool and the beach was great to have. The bay isn’t as protected as some other bays so it does get wavy. But overall we would book this unit again. We had friends that had a much newer unit at Kapalua that said they would stay in our place anytime! 3 bathrooms and two showers was very nice! AC was exceptional as well!

Thank you Liz for letting us stay at your condo, We enjoyed our stay there and the heated pool was great and the sunset views as amazing, we watched the sunset every evening either by the beach or by the lanai. Beach was pretty, we saw a sea turtle on our stay there just relaxing by the beach. The waves however it was a bit too strong for our young kids so we went to a different beach during our stay, however there were lots of people on the beach during our stay there. The condo is great, its nice to just drive in-front of the condo and unload the bags, no elevators or anything! Inside was clean and we had everything we needed. It was great having a washer and dryer as we used it almost every day since we were at the beach every day. Rooms were clean and the kids enjoyed the beds and having their own rooms to sleep into. Overall it was a great location and easy to get to and the host (Liz) was easy to talk to and if there was any issues she would resolve it quickly. We truly enjoyed Maui, and we wouldn't hesitate to go back there in the future. Mahalo!

The property is so beautiful, and the unit we stayed in fabulous! Check in and out was a breeze, and they had some kick boards, pool noodles and other fun things for the kids to use. They also had basics like dish soap, body wash, laundry detergent, garbage bags, etc. that was very appreciated! The staff for the property is also very friendly! Saw lots of turtles, whales and lizards here so that was a bonus! Thanks so much for an awesome stay!

The only suggestion I would recommend to management is to replace the mattress in the master bedroom, it has seen its better days. The 2 full size beds in the 2nd bedroom are very comfortable. The room has about everything you need to cook besides spices and oils. The resort maintenance crew also has all the beach stuff you need to borrow as well. They had plenty of sand toys, boogie boards and some beach chairs as well.

Awesome place to stay very up to date. Great communication as well. A plus was the nice washing machine and dryer. The provided beach towels and beach chairs were also amazing. There is snorkel gear if you need it as well. The TV's were very large as well. Everything felt very comfortable. Great location for us as well plenty to do and see nearby. It is just over an hour drive from OGG airport but can be less with no traffic. The only real negatives were minor cleanliness issues one being behind the night stand closest to the wall very dusty and had some dead bugs behind it and under the bed was very dusty/dirty. Also Parking is not the best/ most convenient. Very small spots and we had to walk down a flight of stairs with our luggage. We had family staying there at the same time came in for a wedding and they were in the same building as us building D and they were on the upper level. The place they stayed in was very dated. Had a better view but I liked our place more. Overall I would book this again!!!!!!

We had a great famy vacation at kahana sunset. John was great at communicating and the property was as advertised. The only small issue we had was a clogged sink which we called Sullivan about and by the time we were back from a snorkel tour it was fixed! Pool was great, condo was clean with great kitchen accessories! Only small downside was the tides were high so the beach right out our door had waves crashing up to the wall so we had to go 2 minutes down the road to hit the beach. Not really an issue since theres so many great beaches. Honolua bay with a SUP and snorkel was amazing! Highly recommend! Mahalo!

The condo unit was as pictured,actually probably one of the first condos I've rented that was almost better than pictured. Fresh paint and carpets and rugs were nice as it was a concern from previous reviews. When we walked in the first day there was a stong smell of bug spray. Definitely still a termite issue in the kitchen that prevented us from using some of the drawers during our stay. We did not want to have it sprayed again during our stay though. It was very strong. Understandably need to keep food in sealed containers to deter the pest problem but the kitchen was very low on bowls, pans etc. Would be nice to have more large tuperware available. We made due by keeping dry goods in the fridge, microwave and oven when not in use. That was our main issue though. The property is lovely with the heated pool, grassy area and small beach where we snorkled with turtles and fish. Was nice to be able to park directly outside the condo unit as opposed to having to haul everything to a parking lot. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again hopefully the termites can get under control as it is a nice new kitchen!

Yet everytime we closed it up and returned ...the same. Both couples came home and had to wash all clothing because they smelled like mildew. Telling me the cleaning people over looked cleaning the wall was disturbing. It was high and in the line of work i do, I know mold. 3rd-The grounds were not taken care of, mowed & over grown.Other things as the internet not working & disposal.

Spent 9 days on Maui in this lovely condo. It was perfect for our trip! My husband and I traveled together with our best friends and the set up of the unit was great! The common area is comfortable. We loved eating out on the deck and watching the ocean and occasional whale swim by. The separation of the bedrooms worked out well. The host was very great in communicating quickly with us when needed. The beach equipment they had on hand was great! We didn’t have to rent or purchase any while we were there. The complex is very quiet which was nice. The only bummer was that the small bit of beach that you see in the pictures was pretty nonexistent due to the waves. I’m sure that’s because we visited in the winter. We found plenty of beautiful beaches in the area to hang out at and enjoyed watching the sunset, waves, and whales from the grassy area on the well kept grounds.

We enjoyed our stay here. The condo was well taken care of. The pictures are a bit misleading, as there is actually no beach in front of the complex. On all but perhaps 2 days of our stay, the water was too rough to enter from the property. It is a pretty good location as far as walking to things in Napili or Kapalua, but the road is very narrow and definitely does not feel entirely safe to walk on, especially with young children. The deck/lanai got very hot during the day, and it would be great to have an umbrella or an awning to use during the times of day when the sun is directly hitting the area. We appreciated the cleanliness of the unit and the friendliness of the staff!

The property is in a nice area between Kaanapali and Kapalua. The Napili Market is just around the corner and a number of nice restaurants are very close.
