Great, centric location, making it a perfect hub to explore the island. Condo is equipped with everything you need to have a comfortable stay, including beach gear. Direct access to a quiet, beautiful beach! Michael is a great host, would definitely rent again.

I don't usually write reviews but this property and company was exceptional! The check in/out instructions were very detailed and clear. The property was updated, decorated tastefully, well maintained and squeaky clean. The neighborhood was private, quiet and close to everything. The beds were comfortable and the linens and pillows were clean. There were so many thoughtful details such as extra blankets and pillows,the pantry is stock with cooking essential,beach chairs the list is endless! The living room was quite spacious for just the three of us and the window/balcony views are Amazing .Thank you for making our vacation spectacular! We will definitely be back to stay again in the future"

We were so comfortable and every detail was thought out and covered! We enjoyed the location, the grounds, the unit and the lanai! It seems like a tiny detail, but I loved the little night light that was built into the outlets. We would definitely recommend and would stay here again! Many thanks to the hosts!!

The water are muddy at beaches in this area. It was disappointing so it you want clear water, gotta go a little further north or south. This condo has everything you need for the stay. My favorite thing is the 2 full bathroom. I feel that the furniture were old and needs upgrade. The fan in the living makes a scraping noise and the garage can is broken. It’s one of the trash bin that you have to step on the lever to open. Other than that, this was an ok for me. Oh one thing I have to mention, there’s no washer/dryer in the unit but there is a facility right next door. Be prepared to download the app and add funds to pay to wash your clothes.

This property is in a great location. The complex grounds are kept in fantastic shape and the grilling area, pool, and grass lounging area are a big plus. The beach area in front of the complex is nice and quiet. The laundry rooms on each floor are nice for not having in-room washer/dryers.The unit itself could use some furniture updates in the living room and bedroom. It's nice to see from other reviews that updates could be coming soon. The couch and other chairs are pretty worn and the dresser and bed frame in the bedroom could use some updating. The bed however was extremely comfortable, could just use some new pillows. The bathrooms are nice, some cleaning in the showers would go a long way. Kitchen area was what we expected. Not a ton of storage or utensils but enough to get you by for a stay. Views from the lanai were great.The main issue we encountered with this unit was the overall cleanliness. About 10 minutes after our arrival, we noticed the bottom of our feet were extremely dirty from walking around the unit. The floors were filthy and in need of a deep clean. We called Bello and immediately someone was there to clean the floors so big plus to them for addressing the issue quickly. Even with that cleaning though the floors still remained dirty and we had to wear slippers around all week to avoid dirty feet. Like previously stated, the bathrooms could use a good cleaning but other than that they were really nice. The other cleanliness issue we encountered was with the AC unit filters. We noticed the AC unit struggling to keep the rooms cooled and when we checked the dust filters, they were caked full of dust. We cleaned those and the AC unit ran better the rest of the week. Although we wouldn't stay in this particular unit again, we would definitely use Bello Realty and stay within the Nani Kai Hale complex again. This unit needs a deep clean and hopefully receives that and the potential furniture upgrades soon.

We spent the first 4 days of our honeymoon here. The owner has thought of every detail. We loved it. The only reason for losing a star was the noise from the traffic as the area is close to the highway.

This property offers all the amenities you need and more over a hotel stay! All the comforts of home plus the "beach life"you are looking for.
This is our 2nd stay at Nani Kai Hale and has yet to disappoint us.
We had a tv signal issue and Tony (God bless him) was on it right away. He came over got on the phone with the carrier and had a repairman over to fix the issue, that's service and caring!
The atmosphere is quiet and super relaxing (except the soothing crash of waves),the residents and property manager are friendly and helpful. There are no "party animal" issues here, to hamper the serenity and beauty of this property! Kathy and Dave from Alberta, Canada.

This property is in a great location, right on Sugar Beach. We loved being able to walk down the corridor and out the door right on to the beach. So convenient! The common facilities were lovely - the pool, BBQ area and lounging area. We used these every day. And the laundry was convenient with the choice of coin or app operation which was very handy. The unit itself had everything we needed for a comfortable two week stay. Only thing we had to buy was a beach umbrella. The property manager was super helpful and friendly, as well.
The only down side, in my opinion, was the proximity to Hwy. 311 and the Piilani Hwy. simply because of the traffic noise. If you're sensitive to this type of noise at night, keep that in mind.
Michael was a wonderful host! Communication was great and he was accommodating and helpful. He made the rental process easy. Thanks again Michael! I'm sure we will be back and will recommend your rental to friends and family.

The location was delightful. The on-site building manager was wonderful. Listening to the waves, the beach, the pool, the utensils and dishes etc, wonderful. We stayed for 10 nights. Both my husband and I were so sore from the bed. It has massive lumps. I notified property management several days before we left, no response. The unit is a bit outdated and well used. They want you to keep excessive sand out and we rinsed off whenever returning from the beach but for a 10 night stay, in which we cooked and ate in the unit, we weren’t provided with a broom or dustpan. We also were told to take the trash out daily and weren’t given enough trash bags. The biggest issue was the bed. All in all, we love the location but for a longer stay, we recommend getting a comfortable bed.

We always enjoy our Maui vacations. The island is lovely and the people are super friendly and helpful. This particular rental unit was not up to our standards for cleanliness. The unit needs updating (flooring, furniture, bathrooms) all is quite dated and worn. Also, I think it should be noted somewhere about the traffic noise. We could not hear the ocean waves from our unit and often had to close the patio door due to traffic noise.

Property description was accurate regarding location, layout and amenities. It was clean and in good shape. It was a great bonus to find beach towels, beach chairs & umbrella and a cooler were provided.

We booked a condo for 3 nights. Bello staff rec'd a room on the 6th floor. It was fine. Even though it was not a beach-facing room, the dining table window (shown in the photo) looks out over the ocean. We also found that it has two bathrooms even though it is a one-bedroom apartment. On arrival we found a couple of minor issues, and the staff fixed them within hours of our reporting them. One minor gripe was that there were no washcloths. Overall, it was quite nice.

Having two showers was really nice for when you come back from the beach or pool. The closet had all the beach chairs, coolers etc you need. Plus, more things like sand toys are stored out in the garden. You can walk to the best bakery and shave ice on the island! The caretaker of the condo building was really on top of things and very nice. In the condo, the furnishings are older, but everything worked fine. Mike was very easy to communicate with. Would stay there again.

Overall extremely happy with our stay here! Our only issue was with cleanliness of the unit, it appears to only receive a 'surface' cleaning of the kitchen and floors but was manageable.
The bed was comfortable overall but everyone's definitions are different, I found it a bit soft and lumpy but my partner slept like a baby.
The 2 bathrooms and A/C in both rooms worked perfectly for our needs.
We had a minor issue with TV remotes a few days in but Josh was very responsive and helpful!
Note that this unit is an end unit closest to the roads and intersection so a bit noisy on the lanai but the views of both the ocean and Haleakala made up for it (in our opinion)!

The condo was clean, the kitchen was well equipped. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. The rooms were comfortable and nice to relax in after our active day.
There is a lawn with lounge chairs and umbrellas right on the beach. A fantastic view. The sunsets from the front lawn are spectacular. Also, there are three gas grills on the lawn Which we used a number of times.
The whole facility was quite, which made for a relaxing stay.

The room was older. Location was excellent. Beautiful view of the ocean and easy access . I misplaced my key to the condo and the owner drove out and gave me a replacement.
My biggest issue was the windows were filthy. My first morning was spent cleaning them as I hate looking out dirty windows. I probably could have called the owner to resolve this issue, but there were cleaning supplies and I was eager to get it done.
Overall, I had a great stay and would stay there again.

This condo has a beautiful location, and a wonderful outdoor shared patio/BBQ space right on the ocean. A truly great place to have a meal and watch the sunset. A great view of the ocean from the lanai, and we appreciated the use of the beach chairs and beach umbrella. The unit itself is in need of a good deep cleaning and an upgrade. The tile floors are badly chipped, and the whole unit feels a little tired. I cleaned the dishwasher before using it, and ran a load of dishes through before using them. Stay here for a great location on Maui, but keep your expectations low for the suite.

We found the unit well equipped and overall a comfortable stay. The supplies provided us were sufficient for our stay. The TV system needs better instructions-hard to navigate all the various parameters available. There's a knob on the front door, which if turned, will allow the door to be opened from the outside. Renters need to be warned about this.

A/C in living room doesn’t work, small leak in the kitchen, neighbors across the hall were breaking down their door at 9p at night on our third night and frightened us to the point that we felt we needed to call the police. Small space, for the 3 of us it was ok. My parents and I, although I wouldn’t do it for 4 people as it would be very tight. We spend a lot of time in our room so we wanted some place that felt comfortable and had everything you would need for cooking and making yourself at home for the week! I wouldn’t book with them again, however it wasn’t a terrible experience! The location is great!!! No one was ever in the office while we were there for the 5 days otherwise we would have said something to them about the A/C and leak.

This was our first time in this unit, however we have rented at Nani Kai Hale many times over the years. This unit was ok, however we were disappointed in the overall cleanliness. The showers, from all outward appearances in the pictures, seemed fine until after a few days and that is when the mold and mildew started coming out. If I could attach pics I would but you'll have to take my word for it. We were there two weeks, and halfway through the stay I asked Belo to see if we could get it cleaned. They responded 3 days before we left and said "all the vendors I pursued are booked up until next week." Honestly, this is years worth of gross that has been glossed over with something other than bleach and a good scrub. If it were just the showers then we might let it go. The piping on the couch (and the arms) was darker than the rest of the fabric. Discoloration from body oils no doubt. The couch and chair in the living area really needs to be replaced, but the unit is for sale so you get what you get. Its not real comfortable for 4 adults. They say the new windows reduce traffic noise, but they clearly haven't slept in it. Between the large trucks air braking, people honking because others won't let them merge, and just general traffic, it's loud. We never sat on the patio because we really couldn't hear each other over the noise. Definitely couldn't hear the calming swells of the ocean. Parking was a breeze and we always have loved the outdoor area to grill and watch the sun set. Kitchen was not stocked as much as we would have liked but we got by. Property mgr and groundskeeper were very present and friendly. Love that the laundry facilities accepted Shine Pay so we didn't have to find quarters. Nani Kai Hale is an excellent location, however we won't be staying in this unit again.

The SHAG rug in the bedroom was FILTHY, numerous stains. That carpet was as old as the unit. The walls were dirty from the floor to the ceiling. This unit has most likely never been given a good cleaning. The cost for staying in this unit far out weighed its value, even for Hawaii.
