Fantastic location - great views from the balcony and living room ( whales every day ! ). Clean, comfortable, well-appointed condo ..... we loved our stay here, and plan on returning !

The co fo was clean, very well decorated, beds are extremely comfortable and you simply can not get closer to the ocean! Watched whales and sea turtles from the balcony and beach access was easy.

Beautiful view and 20 steps from the ocean. Super clean and well stocked for a person with diet restrictions that has to eat in. Hard to find units that come like this! The bed was a little too soft for me but all the other amenities outweighed the negative on the bed. Then there’s Alicia who I communicated with. She is wonderful. Seamless check in and communicates super well. The only drawback was the stay was too short. I guess that means another time! Thanks Alicia for everything!

This was our 3rd trip to Hawaii. We have stayed in the same building in the past, but this was the first time in this unit. It was fabulous for our family of 4. Well appointed and spectacular views. Easy check in, great communication with the owner and property manager.

We loved this VRBO and the location of it. The view right above the ocean was amazing. We spotted turtles, rainbows, stars, and surfers right from the balcony. It was very quiet and peaceful. There’s a hot tub and pool, as well as great access to the beach. We didn’t have any complaints about this VRBO whatsoever. So, if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, this place is perfect!

Just back from Maui. Condo was in a great location. Walking distance to groceries, restaurants,food truck park, bakery and beach walk. Great views from the lanai. Watched whales, dolphins, sea otters ,turtles and surfers. My wife said the kitchen had everything we needed ( even birthday candles). Nice appliances. Bed was comfortable and could hear the ocean roll in with the window open. Got a lot of use from the beach chairs/ beach towels provided . Also supplied a small cooler and a set of snorkel gear. Rental company was attentive to ensuring everything was satisfactory. Look forward to returning.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at our oceanfront Maui condo! Everything was very organized along with a very easy check in. We couldn’t get enough of the view! We felt very lucky to wake up on Christmas morning to the unobstructed ocean view with so many whale sightings! We will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property!

The property was exactly as listed. No surprises or issues. Had a great 3rd Anniversary stay. Enjoyed the view from both the living room and bedroom. The couch and bed were both extremely comfortable. The extra toiletries were much appreciated as we forgot to pack them. The property was beautiful and quiet which is what we wanted and needed. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Maui. Kudos to the owner for such a great place to stay.

The condo has everything you can possibly need for your stay. It is very clean and we will always pick this place when we come to Maui . The host is always available for any questions you have. The view from the condo is absolutely stunning. One morning we were sitting having coffee on the lanai and we got to see the most amazing Whale show. We have never seen anything like it , mother and calf made a full breach several times about 150 yards out . Looking forward to our next visit. Rob and Pia

Everything about this property was amazing. The owner, Heather was so informative about many questions that I had prior to our arrival. She put me in contact with booking agents for tours and activities well in advance of our arrival so we had everything arranged. The condo is exactly as described in the description and was so nice! The location is perfect and was very quiet. I've read the other reviews on this property and they are all accurate as well. Do not hesitate to book here, you will not be disappointed! We hope to visit again soon and will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you Heather for sharing your beautiful condo with us!

There is so much to say about this place....it is simply a dream condo. With panoramic views from the mountains to the Sea you really cant stop looking out the window. They owners leave the place fully equipped for cooking. The sub zero fridge provide ice and filtered water. The sound of the ocean fills your bedroom at night. The beach is left of the building and great for long walks....Also very close to Dukes restaurant which is delicious. Within a 5 min walk, you have a grocery store for all your needs. I cant say enough how amazing this place is and cant wait to go back.

We booked this place for the view and the lanai, and those certainly delivered. It was lovely to sit out, even in wind (blocked), and enjoy the waves and watching many turtles in the surf. The location was good, a short walk or drive to shopping, food, and beaches. The beach/water right in front wasn’t really swimmable. But we took a short walk south for that. The furniture and features were good. The welcome kit was nice. The kitchen could have used a couple more things for cooking. We unfortunately had to have the toilet fixed, which took a couple days with the property manager, but they got it done. There was not a cooler available, as listed. The chairs were great to have. We left behind a couple new noodles, hopefully someone adds an umbrella in the future! The building was decent. The pool is not heated, so a bit cold later in the day. And the hot tub was often broken. But the area is nice and close to the beach. It was nice to have concierge onsite; she was very nice and helpful. Overall, would highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Maui.

Listening to the sound of ocean waves from bed was a must and my expectations were exceeded. The condo is well stocked for your stay and anything else you need is not far away with a great grocery across the street. Every day we watched sea turtles hanging out in the rocks directly beneath the lanai. Parking was not an issue and we felt safe throughout our stay. The condo owners were very quick to respond with recommendations and answers to questions. I also appreciated how clean every aspect of the condo was, from shower to bedding. This condo was a great find!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved this condo. From the dining room and balcony you have a direct view of the ocean and reef below (this is a beachfront unit) and we saw sea turtles daily, plus seals and manta rays at times as well. Whales could occasionally be seen though pretty far away. The unit was clean and spacious and included Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrellas for the beach. We would stay here again if it is available! Walking distance to Duke’s and even Whaler’s Village if you’re willing to go 2 miles, which we did daily.

The views are spectacular from everywhere in this condo. It was like being on a ship looking out from deck. Also view of pool, hot tub. The condo finish out was first class with lots of amenities, beach chairs, umbrella's, Kerug coffee machine,even Binoculars for watching sealife. Location was perfect, quite end of Kaanapali beach at end of beach boardwalk. Pickleball equipment and tennis court, Mornings on lanai and sunsets watching turtles,whales,even seal, Perfect. Can't wait to get back to this condo next year.

This condo was everything that is advertised. The amenities and gear was fantastic. There is nothing that we needed that wasn’t there. It is nice to have Duke’s right by you for a quick meal or Lava Flow. The beach is a little rocky, but you can also snorkel right from there. Just bring your beach shoes, or there were some in the toy box. Fabulous and they have thought of everything!

Gorgeous view and perfect location, would be 5 stars across board but disappointed in certain aspects, especially as compared to other units in which we’ve stayed in the Mahana at equivalent rates. Our stay was two weeks. Very frequent VRBO travelers. Found couch cushions and table chair upholstery in need of cleaning. Most disappointing was condo lacked certain items that are VRBO basics, in our experience. We felt a little “nickeled and dimed” having to buy these items for ourselves after asking property manager twice and receiving no response — e.g., no basic cleaning product to clean countertops and glass table after each instance of cooking/eating use; no brush, sponge, or other scrubbing pad was provided for kitchen sink, to clear stuck on food from dishes before putting in dishwasher or to clean items not appropriate for dishwasher; no salt, not even a plastic shaker, in cupboards. Also, kitchen utensils are comparatively sparse for cooking, for those who enjoy it when VRBO’ing — as an example, two micro-tiny cutting boards in kitchen, not even big enough to slice fruit or vegetables. Master bed had no bedspread, instead was covered only by two white top sheets with a thin blanket in between. On 12th day of our stay was a knock on the door, a plastic sack with what turned out to be a bed spread was handed to my wife; delivery person said it had been cleaned for the owner who would be staying in the unit soon but that we were “free” to use it if we wished. Just odd.

Near great beaches, we had a great time and would love to stay again.

Grandparents in this unit, and daughter’s family down the hall. It was a wonderful holiday! Building is quiet and well maintained. Beach access and views are amazing. Unit is well appointed, and comfortable. Most of Maui is completely available despite the tragedy of Lahaina. Thanksgiving was special thoughts this year.

My husband and I travel the world renting quality condos and homes, always with a great view being a “must have”, and this condo is now one of our favorites. It’s as good as it looks and very well maintained. The hosts have thought of everything - its has quality bedding, pillows, furniture, art, cutlery, kitchen appliances, grill utensils and small appliances and everything you need for the beach. It even has a ceiling fan on the lanai so you can enjoy the warm muggy days in comfort when the wind isn’t blowing. And you can dine or lounge on the lanai and see and hear the waves crashing below as if sitting on the beach but without the sand. Bonus is the common grills at the condo are high end and work great so we found ourselves cancelling restaurant reservations to eat in. Hosts are super responsive and thoughtful though you won’t need them since the condo is spotless, well furnished, and functions as if new. We often find ourselves missing home and its comforts after a week away but did not want to check out of this condo despite traveling for two weeks on this trip. We’ll definitely rent again when we return to the Kaanapali area.

This condo was perfect for our week long honeymoon! It sits between several large resorts with easily accessible dining options, shops and a long boardwalk. The condo is on the second floor so you get a perfect view of the waves crashing, the palm trees and the sunset. It comes with a starter kit of shampoo/soap/laundry & dishwasher detergent which was very convenient plus beach chairs, umbrella & 2 coolers! This place has everything you need for your vacation. We didn’t use much of the amenities because we were out and about but the pool and hot tub area are well kept and not crowded this time of year. Highly recommend staying in this condo versus one of the larger resorts- you get so much more for your money. We can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay here in maui. Great location for the west side. Floor to ceiling windows with view of the ocean was truly spectacular! Little issue with the check out and getting locked out of the room too early but host was responsive and we were able to get back in.
