1. This is an amazing view. Ocean everywhere. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Saw tons of turtles from the patio. 2. Excellent host! It's easy to be a great host when things go smoothly, but this host even handled something that wasn't their fault with a ton of grace and generosity. 3. Location is fun. Walk to aquarium, restaurants, coffee, shops, etc. Harbor. Easy to get to Kihei and other places on island. An excellent operational base for adventures across Maui! 4. Well equipped! Nice open setup. Tips: Tight parking. 6 foot max. height. It was tight even with a simple minivan, but doable. And some small pickups/suvs manage too. Just keep the height and tight parking in mind. Great value too, btw.

Everything about this condo worked perfectly and was up to date. We only had trouble initially with the shades, which were fancy and hard to adjust. We required a handyman to come fix them. After that, everything was top notch. The lanai was very comfortable. We saw a few whales and a lot of turtles from the lanai.

Our stay at this condo was perfect! We watched whales from the balcony every morning and turtles in the afternoon. The condo itself had everything we needed for a perfect stay - beach equipment (snorkeling gear, beach towels and chairs coolers and a very convenient wagon) a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and bedding, great water pressure in the shower, large washer & dryer etc. It was very clean and comfortable. The pool was heated and we rarely saw anyone else there. The BBQ's were new, clean and easy to use. We felt very safe inside the condo and walking around the area. There is a small shopping centre 2 minutes away (walking) and a few nice restaurants. There are several gorgeous beaches within a short drive and a small fairly private beach in front of the condo (which you can see from the balcony). Tanci was absolutely fantastic about getting back to us. I had many questions and asked for recommendations which she was happy to provide. (take her advice!)We (2 adults and 2 tweens) were very happy with this condo and highly recommend it.

Loved this property - the lanai/neighborhood were very quiet and relaxing and the pool was lovely. Loved the area - away from the mega touristy areas - but close enough to amenities and beaches.

For adults perfect in terms of lovely and quiet away from busier areas. The pool was an outstanding feature with putting privacy. The grounds are well kept and offer perfect view of the ocean and whale watching right from the lanai. This wouldn’t be a great spot for little kids there’s no direct beach access. If you need groceries you can take the bus or rent a car. The location by ocean center and Maalaea harbour is very good for tours right from the harbour. The room was okay and suitable although the appliances are outdated and don’t work very wellBut otherwise everything about it was fine and very good value for the price.

We have been to Maui many times and so had a good idea of what was important to us: Convenience of getting to the various things we love about Maui. This condo definitely has location, location, location. We loved our stay at this oceanfront condo, although I would have rated it at 4.5 stars instead of 5 if that choice was available. This is not a luxury accommodation, and it is not priced that way. First the positives.Maalaea Harbor is centrally located so we could get to activities all overthe island without much of a hassle. We could get to south to Wailea or north to Lahaina/Kaanapali, with equal ease. And our journey up to Haleakala for a “Sliding Sands” hike was not only easy, but we were able to determine prior to setting out whether the summit would be clear or fogged in.The proximity to Maalaea harbor - and its shops - was a two minute walk without going on the street. A great benefit. The property was very nice. Not luxurious by any means, but quite comfortable. The view from the lanai across to Kihei/Wailea was great. It would have been better two stories higher, but likely would have cost more. In my opinion, this condo was sized perfectly and outfitted perfectly for a couple on vacation whose main focus was enjoying all that Maui has to offer.The negatives: The televisions were not properly connected to a local cable system, but the WiFi did allow streaming after a sign in. The AC was not totally effective in the bedroom.Our host was very responsive.

The view from the unit is amazing! We watched the sunrise each morning, and often saw sea turtles swimming right by the sea wall. We loved being on the bay with so much whale activity during the month of February. The sound of the waves was just wonderful.The unit was well equipped for our stay. We would stay again.

This place is really great. The room is located walking distance from Maalaea harbor, where many boats leave. We were able to drive from this central location to anywhere on the island easily. This ended up being a much bigger perk than we realized. We explored the road to Hana, and part of the Haleakala National park (Ohe’o Gulch, Pipiwai trails) one day. We explored various beaches, and used the beach chairs, coolers and umbrella available from our room. Our favorites for snorkeling were Kapalua and Napili, where you can see so much life starting just feet off the shore. We saw turtles, octopus, eels, and so many beautiful fish. We took a tour called Tacos and turtles with Ali’i Nui, which was amazing. The whales and dolphins played alongside our boat, showing off like it was their job. So cool! The property is nice and calm, but still close to exciting things. It is not a luxury resort or a super modern place. But the place is clean, and more equipped than any home we have ever stayed, another bonus of which we just didn’t predict its value until arriving. The host is so kind and helpful. The lanai offers breathtaking views, including the sunrise over Haleakala each morning. Walking just steps down to the water to see dozens of large sea turtles foraging around each day was so nice. We got fresh fish and cooked at the room, again, super well equipped. We also ate at several local island spots, just read reviews and you can’t go wrong. We were so sad to leave!

The condo was just as described. It is very comfortable and it just worked. We walked the marina every night as it was so close to the condo. I liked the preassigned parking. The kitchen was fully equipt for our needs. The bed was comfortable. I was not able to open the bedroom window, and that would have helped the sleeping temperature in the bedroom. The bedroom is the farthest room from the air conditioner but the fan helped.

The condo was very nice but small. They let us in earlier than the Usual check in time which was a good perk. The condo was super clean, in good shape, and very well equipped. The location is a bit isolated so you need to have a car. The adjacent Harbour is walkable and has good boat trips and a few restaurants.

We retired and took our adult children plus their significant others to Maui. This place was amazing. Gave us everything we needed to be together. Views were amazing. Restaurants were near by to walk. Pool was perfect. Shopping and groceries were close. Loved the private elevator and parking stalls. I can go on. It’s a great spot. The penthouse absorbed 6 adults. Jason was patient and always answered our questions even when we were there. You can not go wrong. Thank you Jadon !!!!!

Nice central location. We booked the place for the view, and it lived up to expectations. Owner was very responsive throughout stay. Somewhat basic accommodations, but the kitchen would be very convenient if one wanted to prepare meals at home base. Not too much going on nearby - you have to drive to most everything -but bc you are central in the island, you’re never “too far” from any of the major attractions.

We stayed here for a month while I was on a work assignment. The owners have done a nice job of keeping the condo well stocked but free of clutter. We actually had room to put our things away in the closets and drawers and even stow away our suitcases. There are pros and cons to being on ground level but this unit had a surprising amount of privacy even when sitting out on the lanai because of thick vegetation and the wall surrounding the pool; nobody is ever walking past. Have to mention that we saw whales doing their dance up close right from our lanai. We had no problems but the property managers were quickly responsive and helpful to the couple simple questions we had. The assigned parking spot is convenient. It is a really nice place to stay for 2 people.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this very clean and comfortable condo. Since our bodies were still on EST time, we would wake up way before sunrise...which then led to enjoying starry skies followed by stunning sunrises every morning. Wow!! This rental has everything you need. Attention to detail and recent upgrades by the owners provides for a very enjoyable stay. Excellent communication and tips for enjoying the area were provided by our property manager. Very clean! We will definitely book again in the future!We loved the location. Being in the middle, you can explore both west and south sides of the island with ease. Getting to the north shore is also easy. Right within walking distance: We enjoyed sitting outside with a harbor view while eating lunch at Seascape (next to the aquarium), breakfast and lunch outside at Ma'alaea General Store Cafe & Deli again with views of the boats/harbor, and cookies and ice cream at Hula Cookies. I mentioned enjoying sunrises everyday ...but you can also enjoy beautiful sunsets by simply driving west for 15 mins on hwy 30 and pulling over on the shore side. Great condo, great location and great view!!!

The unit is great with beautiful views every day overlooking the ocean and marina. We found this a great location in the middle of the island. You can go in either direction to the tourist spots with shopping and restaurants. There is a great restaurant right around the corner with great food and the best mai tai in Hawaii, Havens. Also you can walk to the marina for ocean tours through Eco tours. It was great to just be able to walk with the tours starting early morning. Overall great stay with family.

Spectacular is the word for the view! Great place, enough space for 4 adults and 2 children very comfortably. Breezes made A/C unneeded for most of the visit. If you enjoy watching whales and sea turtles from the lanai, this place is for you. Easy walk to the harbor. Fun to hear our grandchildren call Baby Beach "our beach."...it was almost private! Pool area has a great view and grilling by the ocean is a relaxing break after a busy day of adventures. Property manager very communicative and helpful. Great view of the New Years Eve fireworks!

Condo was excellent and, for the Maalaea harbour area, was probably one of the best. Not one thing we could say was missing from this well provisioned unit. We have been to Maui dozens of time and wanted to try this location. We didn't hate the area but just prefer other parts of Maui to stay in.

This condo was fabulous. It was located near the airport so we didn’t have a long drive after a tiresome day of flying. It is right next to a marina so we were able to walk to our dinner cruise. There is an Aquarium, shops and restaurants within walking distance. The property manager, Barbara, was very gracious and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this property.
