Great view of the ocean. Everything in good working order. Every part of the experience was great!

Property management was great to work with- answered all of my questions. We needed to go to Maui for a wedding and decided to rent a place with some friends to cut costs. Our kids (2 and 5) had a wonderful time! I was so nervous because it was a bottom floor. Although I did hring my own removable sliding glass door locks the doors were heavy enough that my 2 year old couldn’t open them. Whale watching from the patio was insane! Soo many whales we couldn’t believe it, We also saw a sea turtle on the beach. The first 20 feet out from the beach was really shallow and was perfect for our boys to enjoy the ocean without us being terrified, there were also a bunch of fish that you could see just 10 feet from shore!

If you’re looking for a Hilton Stay- find you a Hilton. This is an intimate space with everything Maui. No AC was not a problem. It was 80 degrees in February and the afternoon may have got a tad warm but the breeze!!! Watch the turtles and whales in the ocean from your lanai. A few turtles even come up to the sand by the pool to sun bathe. They have coolers and beach chairs for you to use. Property manager was easy to reach and very helpful! Sweet gifts left for us too!

Exactly as advertised, very clean and comfortable condo right on the water. We watched whales and sea turtles for hours, and just a short drive or walk to shopping and restaurants. We’ll be back!

Steps from water, go to sleep to the sounds of waves. Turtles and monk seals visit the beach. Unit had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Sunshine, beach, pool. What else do you need.

Great location and fantastic views from the lanai. The unit was clean when we arrived but we were expecting it to be a little nicer. New appliances but refrigerator is to big for the space do to open all the silverware drawers you need to open the refrigerator door to pull them out. Investing in new deck chairs and table would make the area so much nicer.Also the listing said there are beach chairs which there were know do we had to rent some beach chairs . Also no bogie board that was listed.

We had a great visit to Maui. There were four of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the condo, although our stay was could have been longer.

Great location in west Maui. Property folks were very nice, helpful and the full-time residents very kind. This complex had its own beach which can be hit or miss based on property photos, with lots of turtles! Primary bedroom positioned perfectly to hear the waves crashing all night. My only nit was the ocean water was warmer than the pool.

Great location and nice place. Pull out couch not the most comfortable as a couch but most aren’t. Lounge chair on deck could use a new kitchen. Place was perfect for our week. Having kitchen was better than hotel. Location is walkable to a lot of stuff.

January 2025

As alluded to, the view of the ocean from the condo and the location were absolutely the best. As promised, sea turtles and whales were a daily sighting. Being able to walk to the beach/park every evening for the sunset, the local coffee shop and the food trucks was an added benefit. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay.

We had so much fun - beautiful condo with amazing ocean views. Clean, well equipped, great location. We were here for a week in January and saw many many whales and turtles every single day from our balcony. It was lovely!! We had one issue with the electronic lock box battery dying (totally normal) and the host couldn't have been quicker to respond and help us out. Will definitely stay here again!!

Our stay here was very enjoyable. I was just hoping to see one turtle, but instead, I swam with dozens of them! There was even one posted on the private beach all day, so peaceful. Location is great, view is amazing, beds are clean and comfortable. The kitchen had all amenities to cook with and a BBQ to grill by the poolside with the gorgeous view. A few things that had caught our attention was the sun shade is broke so if you would like some privacy with leaving the slider open and to not block airflow, that could definitely be a problem in the summer. Visiting in the winter was not so much a problem for us though. I imagine it would be much more unpleasant to stay in summer. If you’re sensitive to sounds, the blasting of the waves at night can be intense and I would recommend ear plugs to soften the intensity. You will feel like you’re being taken out to sea!We loved it, and were all in for the ride. Be extra careful to always take out trash and keep crumbs and counter tops clean, and any opened food in ziplock bags. There are mini ants- ONLY if there’s anything left out. To be expected. We had left some seasonings for steak and fish, and some coffee. But recommend checking what’s in stock before your stay. There wasn’t much shampoo and conditioner for our family of 5- one tiny one of each for both bathrooms) and one small bar soap for each as well. Bring your own supplies and toiletries!They do provide dishwasher, laundry detergent and dish soap- very happy about th

Could not have asked for a better view, condo was very clean and well kept. Complex was quiet and friendly. Only complaint I have is there are tiny ants in the kitchen, but it is an island and I’m assuming it’s hard to control with windows and doors open to the ocean breeze every day. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas vacation

We are so happy to have stayed at the Nohonani. There was nothing we could've needed that wasn't already supplied for us. The beds were super comfortable and to us that is very important while vacationing. Whale and turtle watching from the Lanai while enjoying our meals was just perfection. John the owner is so helpful with any questions you may have. This was just great. Mahalo, John

Overall the condo was fantastic ! It is a little dated but extremely clean . The sliding door screen doors were difficult to open and would at times come off their track but easy to fix . The condo was close to so many amenities which made the location perfect . The ad did say there were boogie boards but there weren’t any so you’d need to but your own. We would highly recommend this property and definite rent again

Everything about our condo was fantastic! Great location. Private beach right next to the pool. Lots of pool chairs. We watched turtles every morning from our lanai and even whales out farther (with binoculars). A seal visited our beach for a day too. The ocean water was a little rough at times but you could still snorkel really easily. The amenities in the unit were also great. We had all we need plus tons of extras! Coolers, beach chairs, pool floaties and towels. You name it they’ve got it. We would definitely stay here again!!

This was a vacation we will never forget. The place was perfect. We were right on the ocean and spent a lot of time on the patio. Besides the perfect place, the people were very quick to respond when I would email them with questions. I would stay there again.

We’ve stayed at the Nohonani several times before - but the first time in unit 102. What’s nice about this place is that it’s close enough to all the stuff in Kaanapali, but you’re not fighting everyone in the resorts all the time. 102 is really well remodeled and super clean. Has all the stuff you need for a great stay. Loved being on the ground floor - walk right out the door to the beach and pool. Highly recommend the Nohonani - and this (in our opinion) is one of the best units there we will try and reserve this unit again when we return to Maui.

This is our 5th time coming to the beautiful island of Maui and the most relaxing visit yet. This condo had it all - incredible ocean views, amazing location and everything you can ask for in a perfect vacation destination. The condo itself has everything you can think of and more to make sure you’re comfortable. The owner went above and beyond with creating the perfect space for your next vacation. Highly highly recommend!!!

We loved our stay! This place has everything you can ever need to enjoy the beach and cook meals. The beds were comfy and lots of seating for our family of 5 in the living room. We loved having comfortable furniture on the balcony where we could hang out and watch the sea turtles in the beach area out front every day. Mahalo!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Beautiful ocean views from lanai, just perfect with turtles and lots of tropical fish in the waters. Great private beach. Close to the all shops and activities. Didn’t like lots of street noise at night and lock of air conditioners, had to have all the doors and windows open at all times.

This was perhaps my 15th stay at Nohonani. My first one in 102. The owners have done a very nice job of upgrading the place. I have not had a bad stay here. The private beach and pool make for a safe, quiet stay. I highly recommend this condo.

November 2024

This condo was beautiful but the location is amazing and the watching the sea turtles (Honu) from our lanai made this paradise dream come true for me. The best was when one came to shore the last night we were there. Also falling asleep and waking up to the ocean sounds and smell was out of this world!

This was an amazing property to stay at. It was perfect location for us. The apartment was set back from the busy road, with a beautiful “garden view” in the back room. It made it feel very private. The other side was close enough to feel the waves rumbling in. It was easy to get to and bring in our luggage. The apartment was clean and the couch was comfy. The pool was close and haveing our own small beach there with a turtle most evenings was amazing. The sunset views were perfect every night. The kitchen had everything we needed for basic and simple meals. We did alert the manager about the sliding screen door being off its tracks, and he arrived within a few minutes to fix it. We did want to mention- the door promptly broke again. We think it was installed wrong- it looked upside down? Also- the security screen door on the front was nice to have, but it had to be slammed shut and I felt bad making so much noise closing it. Otherwise- this stay is perfect as long as you don’t have kids who would try to sneak into the beach or pool.

I cannot put into words how amazing it this place was. We had an absolute blast on our trip. The big hotels don’t have the turtles right out front and a private little beach like this one. We saw SOOO many turtles it quite literally made my whole life. (I am obsessed) my kids had a blast! The pool is basic but truly all you need. Everyone was so friendly. I absolutely hope we can come back here one day. None of us wanted to leave!!!

The location is amazing. Beach front with the crash of the waves is amazing. Condo is a bit older and could use a spruce up in the kitchen. I would still stay here again!

Amazing and cozy piece of paradise. My husband works alot and the first 2 days he spent falling asleep in the master bedroom as the ocean is a ongoing lullaby.. Heaven.

Our stay was great. Property is in a great location. Loved having the little beach right beyond the pool. No AC was not a big issue- but having AC would have made the stay even better- sleeping would have been better. The condo could use a deep cleaning. Yes the bathrooms were cleaned but the detail cleaning needs attention. Overall I would recommend to stay here.

The condo is exactly as advertised. We had everything we needed for our stay and enjoyed the small sandy beach. Lovely to just sit on the lanai and watch the turtles graze. We noticed the floor wasn't very clean, so we wore house slippers. Great location and great condo!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: We had a wonderful stay. This unit is right above the water on the fourth floor. Always turtles, at least when we were there, September/October to see in the water directly in front of the property. Every possible item you could ask for is somewhere within that kitchen area! a few minute walk to ABC store and bad *** coffee right across the way. Don’t miss Papi Ohana’s if you like cinnamon rolls and baked goods, get there bright and early, they truly were the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had! There’s a little park a few minute walk also. I would suggest the floor be better cleaned. It was swept, however my feet were black if I went barefoot because the floor did not seem to be kept up with mopping. A couple of suggestions would be to have a knife sharpener or have the bigger chopping knives sharpened. I could not find an I could not find a sharpener maybe there was one and I just didn’t see it ...Also unscented laundry soap and dryer sheets, please. A couple of softer bed pillows would be wonderful also. We would highly recommend this unit and area to stay in.

I loved the location of the condo! It couldn’t have been better! I watched multiple sea turtles from the lanai every day. It’s an amazing place to watch the sunsets.

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: We stayed for 6 nights at Nohonani and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The condo was perfect and had enough space for our entire family (3 adults and 2 kids). The view from the balcony is unbelievable, we were able to see sea turtles swim by all day. Pool and beach were great as well, there were kids toys and beach chairs and everything you could possibly need. We had an issue with the sofa bed and the management team was very fast to replace it with a whole new couch/bed. I would highly recommend staying, especially based on the price, which I thought was reasonable. We absolutely loved Maui and this part of the island - great stores, restaurants, and beaches nearby. Only modest issue is the lack of AC, but the fans and breeze from the ocean was enough to offset those problems.

My fanily took 3 different units at the complex, was a great time. The sun shades did not work on the patio, it would have been more comfortable in the afternoons.
