Everything from check in to check out went very smoothly, we had a wonderful time! Condo was very clean, well supplied, updated and attractive furnishings, quiet and comfortable. The lanai is huge, and we loved the bar height table and chairs to enjoy the view! Linda was so attentive, and we were very well taken care of. Highly recommend!

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: My family and I needed a getaway and this condo provided the perfect location for our stay. The beach on the property was the mildest for our kids to play in during the morning hours. The location was perfect to drive to either nearby eateries or recover from the road to Hana. The pool was clean and well kept and the water temperature for showers endured our post beach needs. The only (very minor) issue was the blinds-style windows did make noise in the wind and let in more sound at night but that is swallowed up in the amazing view and location of this property.

We had an amazing time here. The property is in such a great location, and the view is exquisite!! Nice and quiet, the beach below isn't crowded. Very cosy. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful and we will definitely stay here again!!!

We had a great time. We really enjoy the patio. So relaxing in the morning and evening. The pool was great when the winds picked up. Not many people in there. Linda was very friendly and helpful when we had a small issue. Took care of it right away. Would definitely stay here again.

This location is beautiful. The view from the lanai is spectacular. The condo was well stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. The condo was spacious for our family of four. Location is a short drive from "downtown" Kihei and all the best beaches. The beach in front of the property was lovely for walks. We even came across a sea turtle on the beach one day! We did not go swimming out front but could see others did. A drying rack for beach towels and swimsuits would be a good addition. We loved it.

For a million dollar view you can't beat this location. I could have sat and watched the ocean for hours. Very quiet area. Everything needed was right in the condo. IF and I do mean IF there was a downside you are about 2 miles away from the resturants and bars, so if you like to partake in a few beverages you will have get a driver as it isn't walking distance. The beach at the condo is nice and quiet. If you prefer a beach to people watch about 2 miles down to the park. I would definitely consider staying here again a return trip to Maui. We were a family of 5 and felt very comfortable here, not cramped at all. Thanks for having us and letting us enjoy the beautiful island.

Pros: Valley Isle Property Management was very good. Property was clean. Well stocked, with beach chairs, etc. View from the lanai is great. Property grounds are well manicured. Cons: Don't be fooled by the photos that make it look like central AC. Those vents don't work! There are two window units only, one of which blew a circuit breaker at 4 AM. The previous central AC used to provide bathroom ventilation. Now there is no bathroom ventilation. Some furniture is dated and falling apart in bedroom. Kitchen counters are laminate, not granite. Shower head was loose. Refrigerator is rusty.

Unit is older. Furniture not comfortable. Bathroom small. Not enough basic supplies upon arrival. Toilet very low and no counter space in bathroom. Also noted no smoke alarms. Air conditioning right by bed making it useless at night. But, the view was beautiful.

I have used the same facility every time I go visit Maui. And every visit I was very satisfied until this last visit. However I will go the other route. As the saying goes....If I have nothing nice to say, I might as well not say anything at all.

We absolutely loved our stay here! This is our 4th time on Maui, and I think it was our favorite property. The lanai, and view from it, is absolutely amazing! The location was super convenient - not far from the airport and some of the best beaches just down the street. Close to everything we wanted! Also really liked the layout of the condo. We had one minor issue that was immediately resolved. The water heater wasn't working, but we contacted the owner (who was very easy to contact!) and we problem solved together and figured out that we just needed to reset the circuit breaker. Definitely would stay here again in the future!

Great location for ocean/whale views but NO sleep due to ROAD NOISE…bedroom is on the side of building as main beach road & no solid windows in this unit…just shutter glass. Take note of the neighbor…instal noise proof windows!

The Koa Lagoon Condominiums have the most beautiful views and the beach is wonderful. My room was very clean and comfortable - felt like home. I love that the pool was heated. This vacation has been such a fun and relaxing experience. I am hoping to come back again. I made a lot of great memories. 🏝️😎🐢

Hello this property is beautiful and yes the view is amazing! That said we arrived at 11:00 PM, walked into the unit and first impression was not great. The floor grout was stained and made us feel uncomfortable to go barefoot . The bathroom did not feel very clean, the drain in the tub was broken (mechanical portion was not installed), the tub was stained and old, the walls in some areas are in need of a good scrubbing and paint, especially around the bathroom sink and trim. We did not feel comfortable to use the drawers or shelves in the bathroom. The kitchen is dated, but ok and stocked with everything you need, the living room was nice. The bedroom again is dated and did not feel the cleanest. The pillows felt old and the foam topper made the bed feel very hot to sleep in. There is a ceiling fan, but needs replacement. We did not use the dressers as there were were greasy finger prints all over them. There was lots of pluses here in the fact that they offer extra things to use for your adventures to the beach, however for the price you pay, they could be replaced when ripped and rusty. I bring this up because of the fees that are added had me expecting a totally clean unit. The next day when we looked out and saw the beautifully landscaped property and pool, it made things a little better. The deck and the view are definitely amazing, and we sat outside there at every opportunity, watching the whales breach. The beach has a few rocks, but you can’t control Mother Nature.

It’s difficult to decide what we loved most about this condo. Perfect size for two, for sure. Well stocked from the kitchen to beach accessories, yes. Clean and very well appointed, definitely. Pethaps

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has a large lanai, with the most beautiful view, where we watched the sunsets and whales. The condo is old but everything was functional and was perfect for two people. The complex is very quiet with beautiful grounds and seems aimed at adults vs families. The beach is rocky and the water is swimmable, although we preferred to swim/snorkel elsewhere. There are a lot of restaurants and stores close by which is convenient.

very nice, clean, very comfortable one bedroom condo, conveniently located to many major attractions, not only in Kihei, but Maui itself. Condo was well appointed with some basics (oil, seasonings, tin foil etc). Grocery/liquor store as well as many restaurants within a couple miles. Awesome sunsets viewable from lanai with short stroll to beach as well as pool on property. AC units in living area as well as bedroom.

Overall a great stay. Roomy and great views of the ocean. There were some issues with the lock but they responded right away and got it taken care of. The only complaint is the primary bed is terrible! My husband and I couldn’t even sleep on it because it makes you roll into the middle, you can even see how tilted it is just when you look at it.

We loved staying here at the Koa Lagoon. The Lanai is huge and the view is stunning. There was a few blinds missing on the big windows and in late afternoon it gets really hot and the sun is blinding. We loved having beach chairs to use and having a washer and dryer was awesome.

Can't say enough how much we loved this property. It was just perfect for all our Maui adventures. Just a short drive to all you need in Kihei. All the rest of the island is super accessible, too. And the views! We had breakfast watching the sun come up over the mountains and dinner watching it set against the ocean. It was magical.

February 2024

Our stay in Maui was overall a good stay. We had issues checking in due to not receiving the check in email. Also there is in inconsistencies in the checkout time. Some places say 10 AM while other places say 11AM. The beach gear was nice to use however the beach umbrella was cheap and small. If your a light sleeper and don't like noise when you sleep then I would suggest you brief earplugs. The AC unit in the room a=is quite noisy when it starts up and runs. Otherwise it was a good unit!

Great location and the views from the deck were fantastic. The condo could use some upkeep, for example several windows didn’t open, one sliding door would not open at all.

The unit was well appointed and has the best views! We were there for 2 nights and the proximity to Kihei restaurants and shops was perfect for us. Easy check-in and check out. Had a great short visit with the convenience at Koa Lagoon.

Gorgeous & comfortable condo! LOVED the sunsets and WHALE WATCHING from the balcony! The condo was clean and the rental company Maui Life provided an adorable welcome basket. Comfy bed! Super nice to have chairs, towels, and a cooler provided too! My only complaint was that I emailed the company 3 times with minor questions about parking, the WiFi not working, and if we could get a late check-out over the course of our stay and never heard back.

We enjoyed our visit … this was the first time during whale season … wow!! Great views of breaching whales from our lanai!! The unit was as described. As a short term rental host myself, I feel the policy of NOT providing the essentials should be reviewed. All in all- a wonderful visit and highly recommend.

We stayed here in February. We could have just stayed on the property and saw everything we came see. From the 5th floor (Took the elevator) we were able to see many whales everyday from the balcony. The kitchen we fully stocked (Didn't see too many bowls for cereal) for all our meals and family to eat. Many beach toys in the closet and the beach chairs were my favorite. I would stay here again every time I come to Maui. Thank you for the great place.

From the beautiful sunsets to the well-equipped kitchen, everything about this condo was ideal. The unit was comfortable, well-equipped, and served as a great base for day trips all around Maui. The view from the lanai is spectacular and the property itself was well-maintained and provided direct access to the beach. I highly recommend staying here regardless of your itinerary on Maui.

The property was clean and well maintained. Our only complaint is that emails sent prior to trip via VRBO link went unanswered by Maui Real Estate who manages this particular unit. However, when we reached out by phone, response was timely ( thank you Thomas!). We would stay again. The view is amazing

On the quiet end of the beach in Kihue, Koa Lagoon was the perfect place for our vacation! The complex was well maintained and the staff were friendly and conscientious. We will definitely stay here again the next time we go to Maui!

Large covered Lania separated from condo with glass wall with big sliding doors. Very nice relaxing setting. Watched the sunset over the ocean and saw whales. WiFi worked great too. Convenient keypad access. Bus stop right next door. Use the Maui buss app to see time to next buss. Parking also included.

Location and amenities of the condo were great. However it was in need of some updating and the bed was terrible. So much that we went to wallmart to get a topper to get through the nights. Would definitely return only if the bed is replaced.

Perfect balcony. Well-stocked kitchen. A little far from town, but it's quieter that way. Not particularly walkable, so I'd definitely recommend renting a car. No complaints at all. Thank you for a great first visit to Maui!

We decided to take a somewhat last minute trip to Maui, and our usual property in Kihei was booked. So we took a chance and booked this property and we are so glad that we did. The condo is in a great location, has incredible views, and is very clean and well appointed. It has everything you might want or need, and is super comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book here again. Linda, the property manager, is a dream to interact with. She is incredibly pleasant, efficient, and really embodies the "aloha" spirit.
