Absolutely loved our stay. The condo was exactly as described and was a perfect location to everything that we wanted to do. My husband and son enjoyed using the golf clubs that was available to use with the condo. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay and our kids had a blast in the pool. We enjoyed sitting out on the Lanai and watching the ocean. Everyday we went down to the rocks to watch the turtles swim. We had an amazing dinner at Havens down the road. We all loved the Aquarium. We did put-put golf and enjoyed pizza from Point Break. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This was really a nice VRBO. Very clean, easy to access and park. They provided coffee, beach chairs, etc., all of things you would like for Maui. We went to dive and the diving was at Maalaea Harbor, so we were a 5 minute walk from the boat. I would say that there were only two drawbacks to the location. There weren't a lot of restaurants nearby (there's a nice pizza place and a fancy chop and seafood restaurant, but choices are limited). Second is that we found out it is the windiest part of the island and Maalaea is the second windiest harbor in the world - bring a kite!! Thanks for the great accomodations - Mahalo!

Everything is great in this condo. The only negative is the peeler was pretty dull and I couldn’t find a lid that for the food storage containers other than that it was very nice. So not much bad to say indeed.

The setting of the penthouse is amazing. Views are for sure worth it. Had a wonderful stay! And if we vacation to Hawaii again we would stay here again

The property was just as described. What wasn't there was the proximity to EVERYTHING on Maui. What a great location for access to all the major sites and cities. Quiet, and beautiful views of the bay. The property is immaculate! People are friendly and will gladly point out things to do and see. Don't forget to watch for turtles feeding right off the sea wall! The owners are very helpful, and willing to share experiences for the trip of a life time! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Everything worked well and the condo was supplied with all the items necessary for a comfortable stay. The A/C worked excellent. The view from the balcony is superb!This is our 4th stay and hopefully we will be able to arrange a 5th stay next year!!

The condo has a direct oceanfront location with a fantastic view. You can watch the sea turtles right from your balcony. Location was perfect and the grounds were very nice. The condo is older and could use updating but it was fine and really it is all about the oceanfront balcony- you won’t spend much time in the rest of the condo! Highly recommended!

This property is perfect! It has everything you need, including boogie boards, snorkel gear, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and anything else you can probably think of! It's clean, comfortable, and a great location! The nearby beaches are not busy at all! I will recommend to anyone visiting Maui to stay here!

The reason you're thinking about booking this condo is surely the view from the lanai, and that alone makes this a great choice for where to stay on Maui. I was even lucky enough to spot a couple whales on my first day, just before they all packed up and left town. The condo is a bit dated, as others have noted, but that didn't affect my stay at all. It's wonderfully equipped in both the kitchen and beach supplies (towels, cooler with cooler blocks, chairs, etc). When the lanai door is open you can hear the waves, and there are sometimes sea turtles feeding at the rocks that line the property. It's not really a swimmable shore, but there is a beach just past a few other condos. Nice location, as close to central as you can get on Maui. One downside to note is the AC unit is quite far from the bedroom and is on a 6 hour timer. There were nights I woke up because I was too warm and had to reset the timer to get the AC back on. As expensive as Maui is, the condo was quite affordable, about the same as a very inexpensive hotels, and worlds better.

I have stayed in many 1 bedroom condos in Maalaea and this one wins the award for best view. Seeing whales first thing in the morning was not an unusual event. It is nicely furnished and decorated. The bathroom and shower are better than most. The unit does not have air conditioning which normally I do not care about. The one negative to this condo is the lack of airflow. The winds in Maalaea are brisk to say the least and flow from mauka towards makai. This unit has no screen door on the entrance so that is not an option. The bedroom windows have heavy curtains, unlike most of the units that have shutters. That means you have to choose between airflow and privacy, you cannot have both. Installation of shutters where you could vent the winds but still have privacy would be a big improvement. Other than that this is a lovely unit.

This unit is very nice! I love the renovations. The island makes the kitchen much bigger and easy to access. Working with Dianne was very easy and quick. She is very nice to work with. I would definitely recommend this unit. SJ

Reviewer Comments:
This is a great property, well maintained, great views, convenient elevator and walkways, ability to walk to restaurants and shops, a little distance from beach but great for walking exercise, also centrally located to reach all parts of the island. The condo was comfortable and had everything needed for our stay. The only issues were the TV, not clear instructions on how to connect and operate, we were without TV for 5 days, after having caretaker look and could not fix, and two calls, Christian from agency came and was very helpful even said we should be compensated. The other comment is possibility of having a coffee and filter starter package until ability to shop. Other than that, our stay was wonderful, the people were friendly and we would highly recommend this property, and Destination Maui Vacations as we have contacted them before and they have been great to work with, also a property we will definitely consider coming back too!

Barbara’s place was absolutely amazing! It was a great location if you want the quieter side of Maui (which we did!) with gorgeous views right from the patio. The condo came with all the typical amenities, but also came with those extra touches (beach towels, mineral sunscreen, cooler) that made it just perfect. The AC kept the bedroom cool for sleeping, and the breeze through the front and back doors kept the condo cool in the morning and evenings. LOVED this place so much and would stay again for sure!

We loved this beautiful ocean view condo and the best part was that the pool was heated! We didn’t see a hot tub anywhere (and it said on the listing there was a hot tub) but we didn’t need the hot tub because the pool was so warm and pleasant to swim for hours! Also it was very windy, so be prepared for that, but the wind was warm and by the end of our stay it died down. And another cool bonus - you can see many honus in the water right in front of the property! Also, all the residents were super friendly and very helpful with everything :-)

A very nice two bedroom condo on bottom floor. Swimming pool is on a few feet away from the patio, which we watched the sunrise every morning. There are also 2 propane bbq’s, which we used, very close. Complex is very quiet and peaceful. The only time we knew someone was above us is when we saw them on their balcony.The VRBO listing was pretty spot on about what extra items were in the unit ( ice chests, beach chairs, etc.). The parking spaces are a little narrow so we chose to park on the street a couple nights instead of squeezing in/out of our rental car. It was not a big deal as there was plenty of street parking available just outside the parking lot from our assigned space.The property/maintenance manager was frequently walking the property and very friendly and personable. He seems to be very focused on the overall appearance of the complex.I messaged the owner on three separate occasions from the time we booked it until we checked out. Each time he responded within what seemed as a matter of minutes. This was a fantastic all around experience and would absolutely rent from Richard and Jackie again.

Convenient location for exploring Maui. Loved seeing whales and turtles just off the lanai. Beautiful sunrises. Kitchen poorly supplied compared to other places we've stayed. A small coffee/tea supply, some basic spices, cooking spray and plastic or aluminum wrap would have been appreciated.

The property was great, the owners were very nice but due to the horrible vrbo app and web site communication was almost impossible.

We just wished there was some shade/ umbrellas there. If you book this, you won't be disappointed. We were there January 31-February 12th.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo had enough space for everyone. The location was great and near everything. Downside: The condo got hot at times. It was also very bright and window coverings would have made the space more comfortable and cool the temperature inside. Complimentary items like shampoo, conditioner, and toothpaste would have been helpful for people who forget to pack those items.Upside: The owners allowed us to check in early and check out late. The flexibility was helpful because of our flight times.

We spent seven nights in this condo and it was absolutely wonderful. My favorite was the proximity to a very quiet beach, just down the road. I would run along the beach every morning and evening and hardly a soul was there. The condo itself was cozy and clean and had a wonderful view of the ocean. The two bathrooms were super nice. The kitchen was well stocked. The location on the island was great. 15 minutes to the airport, and centrally located to other parts of the island. But the area was super quiet.Overall we had a great stay!

I would stay here again without hesitation. Location is terrific. Only a 3 min walk to Starbucks and only 100 feet to the ocean from your door.

Amazing time in Maui, was our first time here, the unit is exactly as listed, owners were easy to reaxh if you have any questions, location was great for us, it was quiet and peaceful but not to far if you wanted to go anywhere, you litterally can watch the whales during whale season right fro. The linai, we will definitely be returning.
