We loved this condo and location! Whales and Turtles right off the lanai everyday! Great snorkeling and dining options close by! Everything you could need is there for a wonderful stay. The host was very helpful and accommodating which always says a lot! Mahalo! We will be back!

The accommodations were nice as expected. Just a little warm in the back bedroom. The air conditioner in the front did fine for the kitchen and living area..

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect location. We watched whales breach in the morning while having coffee on the deck (bring binoculars). The bbq's are a great place to watch the sunset while grilling up dinner. Easy parking, kitchen worked great. This is a perfect spot for a couples getaway. The only thing I would change is to have a key to get to the backyard before the manager opens it, but that's because I wanted to get an early swim in.

Kaleialoha #214 was the perfect place for us! Great price and location was ideal. Whale watching every day was fabulous as well as the turtles. Michael takes immaculate care of the property. There was no hot tub as described and the condo could have been a little better stocked with things that would be helpful but overall it was great!

Fantastic condo with unbeatable views! Exactly as described in the listing and photos. The bed was very comfortable, as was the furniture in the living room. The kitchen is modern and well stocked, it had everything we needed. The A/C worked very well. The main attraction is, of course, the fabulous balcony! It was incredible! We were visiting in late January with the humpback whale season in mind, and we were not disappointed! We saw whales from the balcony every single day. We also saw several sea turtles from the balcony right in front of the condo every single day. Actually, if we were looking for them, we never went 10-15 minutes without seeing at least 1-2 turtles right in front of the unit. When the water was fairly calm, you can get some decent snorkeling in right in front of the condo, including getting a close up look at the turtles as most of them have no apparent fear of humans (don't touch them though! just look!). We didn't get much snorkeling in as the waves don't allow for it many days in the winter, but we did get in 1 good day in front of the condo and 1 REALLY good day at Black Rock (Kaanapali). We used the provided beach chairs during our visit to Black Rock and they were excellent. There may be other beach/snorkel gear available, but we brought our own so I'm not 100% sure. As for location, you will likely benefit from renting a car during your stay. All in all, we had a fantastic vacation and this wonderful condo was a big part of it!

This is on the north end of the second floor (in a 4 floor building) with an elevator that broke once during our stay but was fixed within a couple of days. There is easy access to the grass facing the ocean and steps down to the water from the south side of the building, its locked at night. The gate on the north side is kept locked most of the time, with a bike and moped rack just behind it. Michael, the local building manager, is a nice hard working guy and easily available most of the time. The condo itself is good for the price with a decent sized lanai and a great view of whales and turtles. Snorkeling gets better (coral and fish) the farther out you go, with a few turtles typically close to shore. The "beach" disappears at high tide or with large waves, as is true for most of West Maui these days, although we noticed some improvement at airport and post office beaches nearby. The AC worked fine for January. The only thing we didn't like was the combination of AC unit and the type of window shade in the bedroom lets a lot of light leak in from the building's hallway lights at night. If you need it dark, bring eyeshades or figure something out to block the window. There is some beach equipment, two very small folding chairs and a small umbrella. Wifi worked fine. The kitchen had most of what we needed. Parking was tight for a van, but always available. We have stayed at a number of spots on West Maui over the years, and this one ranks pretty high on the list.

This place was beautiful. Amazing location, beautiful views, and a clean spot with a great kitchen. Tv/cable was really wonky and no WiFi was a bummer but that’s not really what you go to Hawaii for right??

Perfect location. The condo was very clean. Just wish the ocean access wasn't so rocky, but other than that, we loved it

The place is literally right on the water with a veritable turtle highway out front with humpbacks jumping in the distance. Beautiful views and a beautiful sunset. The property manager was quick about changing out the propane tanks on the grill. Even the little things made it more enjoyable - the unit is close to the stairs stayed and elevator and the parking spot is right next to the building. Not much to improve upon really!made

We had a wonderful time staying at the property. The view is incredible and we had so many whales to watch in the mornings and the evenings and tons of turtles on the rocks. The place is beautiful and couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Can’t wait to come back

Enjoyed the sound of the waves and the view of the ocean. Saw several sea turtles just offshore and whales in the distance. We never needed the air conditioning, but it looks like it needs attention. Enjoyed our stay!

First I’d like to thank Marty for his quick response to our problem unlocking the door on our arrival. He was able to get us access to the unit and when he opened the door, all we could say was WOW. All we could see was a direct ocean view from the fully updated condo. One of the best condos we have stayed in during our many visits to Maui. The views from the lanai were just amazing. We saw whales and sea turtles nearly everyday and the sunsets were picturesque. The condo is well stocked with everything you need from kitchen to beach accessories. Just bring your suitcase, unpack and have a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend this condo unit.

This property was amazing. Great location, unbelievable views. Can’t wait to come back and listen to the waves crash.

This was our 4th or 5th stay at Kaleialoha. We love being on the third or fourth floor where we can sit out on the lanai throughout the day and watch the sea turtles and whales. Even better that is a corner unit. Having stayed in multiple units, #304 seemed the most worn and in need of TLC. Both the carpet and sofa seemed old and in need of deep cleaning or preferably replacement. We were also disappointed that a side chair shown in the photos had been removed with no replacement. One of the features I typically look at when selecting a rental is the quantity and style of seating. The kitchen was fairly well stocked and I appreciate that you can enjoy the view while working in the kitchen. Overall, we know this is an older building and do not expect high end accommodations because the trade off of being truly ocean front, the view of both Lanai and Molokai, the quiet community of Honokawaii and watching sea turtles or whales is worth the trade off. We definitely recommend considering a stay at Kaleialoha but be aware of the pros and cons and your personal preferences.

Unbelievable view, pictures do not give it justice. Wonderful area just a little more on the tourist trap side of pricing. Amazing place to stay. Definitely recommend. Definitely would stay again.

The view! The view! 30 feet from the ocean. Nothing more relaxing than listening to the ocean waves, watching them roll in and the beautiful sunshine. This place is lovely- well appointed with amenities of home. It was home away from home - except better weather! Location is close to shops, stores and sightseeing with beaches close by. The host was responsive and kind. We loved it here. Spent 9 days and wish we could have stayed longer

It’s been 30 years since we were last in Maui, Lahaina our always go to vacation spot for many years. This unit was the way I remember Maui, beach front, waves crashing and a perfect location just up island from Kaanapali. This beautiful suite is perfectly appointed with pretty much everything you would have at home. Air conditioning? It’s there for sure but having the double LR sliding doors open and bedroom windows and the breeze is perfect…all you can hear are the waves crashing. Want to snorkel? All the equipment is there with a multitude of turtles literally right outside your room. Maui doesn’t get better than this. A big Mahalo for making our stay the best in many years…we WILL be back. Aloha

The apartment has awesome view, convenient locations, everything was as described in the online listing. Upon arrival we found brown stains on the toilet and the hair dryer, John responded really fast and sent someone to clean it. Some kitchen utensils also don’t look clean. Overall ok with the price.

Great location with wonderful views and quiet neighborhood. Condo was perfect with for two people...well equipped and very comfortable. Assigned parking was nice...never had to find a spot. Had a small issue with the bathroom fan toward the end of our stay, but sounded like it would be addressed after we left. We would definitely recommend this condo to others.

Ocean front unit which was nice however there was no good access point to get into the water. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, adequate linens. No air conditioning in the bedroom so found it to be quite warm/stuffy even with the floor and overhead fans. Wasn't walkable for us to restaurants, bars or beaches with water access so that was unfortunate. Pool area was nice but didn't get much sun, pool was on the cooler side. The building is quite old but well kept as was the apartment both however could use a refresh. We feel that for what we paid it was a fair.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was as listed! I never needed to use the AC because the fans and having the windows and lanai door open to let the cross breeze was HEAVENLY! I enjoyed relaxing on the lanai watching turtles play in the waves below. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe coming & going from this property at all hours of the day. Lonnie was very responsive to any questions or needs. I can't wait to stay again!

It was a pleasure walking in and taking my first glimpse of the ocean through the windows. Everything was clean and updated and welcoming.When Ireturn I will definitely book this property. I only have positive feelings about my stay here.

Stayed here for one week, the view is absolutely amazing and can’t be beat, also just a great location in general. The building is definitely older but this unit has been remodeled. They have beach chairs, beach blanket and an umbrella, cooler etc…ready to use. The only call out I’d have is they didn’t really have any shampoo, conditioner and body wash, so make sure to bring your own. It’s nice to have laundry in the unit as well. Will absolutely be staying here again!
