Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Polynesian Shores is an ideal place. It is a small community of locals that live there and guests renting. Gathering at sunset at the grill, hot tub or tables and benches along the water help create the community feeling. Small beaches to the left or right of Poly Shores' are accessible for snorkeling and turtle sightings. These wonderful turtles rest on the beach daily, inspiring awe and delight from a respectful distance. The condo is comfortable, well stocked and has a great view. We ate our meals on the back porch looking at the ocean. Both the bed and the pull-out couch bed are comfortable, sheets are soft.. The administration was wonderful and responsive any time we contacted them.

The property was clean, orderly, well supplied, relaxing, and most beautiful views across the property.We are a small family of 3 where with our 2 year old we loved the pool, grass area to run, and enjoy the relaxing ocean sights/sounds.Every morning we enjoyed our breakfast at our leisure with a nice hot cup of coffee and home cooked breakfast on patio while enjoying the cool breeze and beautiful scenery before each day's expedition.In the evenings we mostly did the same in preparing meals or enjoying tasty take-out after a long day out on the beach.What really came in handy were the provided cooler and ice packs in the freezer on our outings!Property is well maintained and would definitely recommend anyone considering in staying on Maui to strongly consider Polynesian Shores.I'll definitely be back with my family and look forward to creating more wonderful memories! Mahalo!

As much as I want to keep this my secret place that would be so unfair. The location was the best! The view from the second level is amazing. There is great snorkeling right out front with the most turtles you’ll see in one place. The sunset was fantastic every night. For this unit it had everything we needed. The unit was updated and most of all the beds were super comfortable. Very soft! Even the pull out bed had a perfectly soft mattress. They had a few beach chairs and beach mat a small cooler and beach towels. I know it must be hard to maintain nice things when you are renting but so far it seems guests have been very honest and the items stay put. The complex was very clean and all the guests were easy going. I have nothing bad to say. Thank you Bree for your quick responses.

Condo has great ocean view. It also faces the pool so we were able to watch our older kids from the balcony & living room. Condo is also located in a convenient area. This place is not clean. Condo does not have AC but there are several dusty fans in the closet that you can use. There is a notice inside the condo explaining that there may be red sand from nearby construction. The red sand ended up everywhere, staining our clothing and shoes (still cannot wash it out despite many attempts). We couldn't close the windows to keep out the sand because there is no AC. We were constantly cleaning the floors, counters, equipment, our hands & feet. They really should add this warning in the booking description, so people know ahead of time.

We had several residents of the condo make it very clear that we were not wanted there, some regarding fires some not. We had to leave early due to no electricity for days and asked for a partial refund, the company would not respond. No sheets on some of the beds, very dingy in some areas of the condo. Screen on sliding door kept falling off. Definitely could use functional window or air conditioner upstairs. Had to borrow fans from one of the other units.

We had such a lovely time staying at this condo! The sunset views from the grounds and balcony were wonderful. Great communication. Very family friendly property. I wish we knew there was a travel crib in the closet because we checked one on the flight but that’s just nice to know for the future. Would be great to have more sets of beach / pool towels (maybe I could have asked for them?) very easy drive to many beaches- Napili was our favorite! Would 10/10 stay there again with my family!

We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described, clean, and completely stocked with all supplies including towels and a full kitchen. The location is great and being able to see the sunset from the the backyard was a nice surprise. We snorkeled right from the property, and one of the highlights of the trip was swimming with turtles there! It is like having your own private bay and beach to enjoy. Everyone was so nice and a shout-out to Eric the property manager who was always working to make the grounds and pool manicured and inviting. Great stay!

We had a great time! Bree was super helpful. I text her once at 7am cuz I could t get the door to lock.. she responded right away.. and I just needed to learn how to lock the door.. only 2 negatives.. 1. People kept parking on the red zone right outside the master bedroom window, which made it difficult to get into and out of or parking spot. Plus made it noisy when my toddler was trying to nap. 2. Around 3 o’clock the condo gets blasted by the sun, and there’s no AC. It really needs a sun shade like some of the other units have to block that heat. Evwrything else was great! Everything we needed for the week was there!

Sea turtles every day on the beach and in the surf. Dolphins were splashing and spinning just off shore. The condo had chairs, umbrella, cooler, beach bag, tupperware, etc. The condo had so many items that made the stay more comfortable. Deb is amazing, she was helpful before and during our stay. She would give us tips on what to do and where to go. We are so lucky to have found this condo it’s views were incredible. We will definitely stay here again.

My fiancée and I spent 6 days 6 nights at Polynesian Shores in May 2023 in celebration of our baby girl Joy who is on the way in August. We both loved the unit and the complex in general. Having the full kitchen for me was a must because as a pregnant lady I have very specific schedule and preferences in food, and I wouldn't want to go out every single meal. So we ended up making local seafood and pancakes at home and sometimes went out. The ocean view from the condo was absolutely gorgeous and I would go out to the shore to meditate and walk every morning. The condo was very conveniently located next to lots of good public beaches either direction (North or South), luau dinners, and just a short drive to Lahaina - a mecca for tourist shopping and eating out experience. During our stay we couldn't figure out how to turn on the ceiling fan and upon contacting the management office, they sent their technician same day and he helped us out, so I was very happy with that quick service. There's a really nice pool that we used a handful of times and got to talk to other visitors that happened to come and stay at the same place years on end. It seems like people who discover this place tend to come back again because they love it so much!!! If you are looking for relaxing, friendly, comfortable, and family-oriented vacation, this is the perfect place to stay :) pregnant women know their comfy/safe and this is it !!!

The location is fantastic with a beautiful view of the ocean to wake up to. The space was clean and well lit with accurate instructions to access the space, parking, laundry etc. We stayed for 5 days hiking all over the island coming back to the comfortable bed and relaxing view of this condo. They had everything we need from beach chairs to umbrellas for the unannounced rain. It was a perfect and comfortable stay!

Polynesian shores is a magical place and really worth what you pay! The grounds are so beautiful and it’s quiet. The sunsets from the pool area are gorgeous and although the beach isn’t ideal for swimming, there are turtles everywhere! We got to see some lounging in the sand on the beach next door, and we even snorkeled with the turtles right in front of the property. At one point we were surrounded by over 10 as they were feeding! The unit is simple and easy, no expensive finishes but you don’t need that. It’s all about the relaxation. The access to Napili bay, kapalua, and Lahaina were great. Cheap grocery store just down the road (supermarket times) and a food truck park there as well. Just north down the road is a great little public beach. We just loved every bit of staying here! The laundry access was easy to do a load and the designated parking spot for our unit made life easy. I was worried about no AC for our June stay but there was always a sea breeze to keep us cool. The other guests and tenants here are all so nice and friendly too. We will be staying here again as soon as we can return!

This is a beautiful property. The view from the lanai was incredible at ever time of day. The pool was never too busy and turtles can be seen regularly in the rocky shores. We drove to all of our adventures but there are many nice beaches only minutes away. Very close to Slaughterhouse Beach, DT Flemming Beach, Dragons Teeth and Honolua Bay for snorkeling. The condo itself was clean and fit our needs. The pictures are accurate. Highly recommend.

Was looking for a place with great views and this property did not disappoint. Not only great sunset views but a stunning vista down the shoreline as well. Unit was clean, modern and comfortable with plenty of room for our family. The two-story buildings had a much friendlier feel that the taller condos down the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Coffee filters, filtered water, clean towels and sheets. The crock pot, coffee maker, toaster and pots and pans,ice chest, beach chairs, TV, and room fans made our stay feel like we were at home. It was great to have a washer and drier on site( good to note, bring your own laundry soap and quarters).We would get an airconditioned unit next time.

This condo was perfect for our family of 4. Banana bread and pog provided a nice welcome. The Murphy beds were great for our college aged kids.

Over all we really enjoyed staying here the only thing I will say is that there is no AC and from 12-6:30 it gets pretty hot even with the fans. At night and early morning it’s pretty cool. Other than no AC I would definitely recommend staying here. The view is amazing.

This is the second Polynesian property I've stayed in. The landscaping, and cleanliness of "common areas" , pool and grill was immaculate. Unlike the previous property, only 2 beach chairs were provided (4 of us in condo). Unfortunately 1 of the chairs was broken. The screen front door was difficult to open from the inside. We enjoyed the central location of the property and the friendly people. I will stay at Polynesian Shores again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Unit #120, which was space enough for 4 people. We brought along a blow up mattress so that our teenagers could sleep separately and not have to share the pull out couch. It was a great stay! It was so nice to have the kitchen/supplies to have breakfast & lunch at the unit. We used the grills a few nights and it was very nice to have that option. The kitchen was fully stocked. The unit had enough linens and high quality beach towels. My only complaint is that the unit was advertised as being space/supplies for 4 people but there were only 3 beach chairs. So there was always one person who had to do without. Other than that, I would highly recommend Polynesian Shores and Unit 120!

We absolutely loved the grounds at Polynesian Shores! You can’t beat the view from the lawn and pool. Absolutely breathtaking! Our unit was well equipped and clean, and the location of the property was well situated. The beach in front doesn’t allow for swimming, but swimmable beaches were just a short drive away. There are also some within walking distance as well. We will definitely recommend this property to others!

Overall, very enjoyable. Property is very well maintained and was ready for our arrival. Kids loved the large grass lawn for games. Pool area secured by a convenient gate so no worries. Our units were spotless and well stocked with the basics. Would recommend for anyone looking for a place having all the necessities without the unnecessary frills.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at Polynesian Shores for a week in May 2023. The setup of the complex is really great and especially our condo 202 was awesome. So close to the ocean, great views (sunset view is amazing!) and then - if you like to snorkel - you can just jump into the water right away and see tons of fish and turtles, that come out to the shore just a bit north to rest every night.The condo has everything needed, there is nothing to complain about. It is close to some shopping and food options. We used the food trucks 5 min south close to the Times Supermarket quite often. Only negative thing: there were no parasols or any other shadowy area at the pool, so we basically never stayed there more than just jumping in and out with our kid.

My husband and I and two of our best friends stayed in this beautiful VRBO for 13 nights. We found it to be a wonderful place to stay with a very connected community of people. Some people live here, some people have stayed on longer trips and return regularly for weeks/months every year and built lasting friendships. with other visitors. The view is spectacular! We enjoyed the small local beach and the many turtles that same up to the beach to rest. Such an amazing experience to sit with them quietly and watch them. At one point there were 14 turtles sleeping on the small beach to the right as you face the ocean. The condo was nicely decorated and had all of the kitchen amenities needed to cook. Lots of fans helped keep the heat down in the condo which the upstairs loft needed throughout the day. It was very comfortable to stay in! It was a great location to local beaches, parking was very close, grounds were well taken care of. Deb the owner was very responsive to questions and needs during our stay. A side foot on the king bed was broken when we arrived and when we notified her she had a new bed frame there within a few hours. We look forward to making this a regular trip to this condo and community! Thank you for your sharing your property with us!! Mahalo!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most amazing time & a huge factor was staying at the Polynesian Shores! This vacation was so overdue for me personally and a much needed family gathering, at one point we had 5 different condos rented. Myself, my son & his girlfriend stayed in 202, we by far had the best view & unit. We are fortunate enough to have grown up in Santa Cruz, Ca and have a deep love For the ocean and all the outdoor beauty Maui has to offer. This was our first trip to Maui and we couldn’t have asked for aBetter place to stay. We aren’t necessarily into the huge Resorts, they are fun for a day but returning home to PS nestled in a Gorgeous location overlooking the beach with sea turtles, views of neighboring islands was awesome. Erik - 1 of the on-site managers was always very kind and helpful and does a great job keeping the grounds looking stellar. Morning walks to the farm market to get Acai Bowls and bagels is a must, sunsets out on the lawn, bbq’ing poolside with lit tiki torches - amazing! It felt like an intimate, happy community. The Polynesian Shores is a little Hidden Gem and we are so stoked we found it and can’t wait to go back ASAP! Thank you for allowing us to stay at this amazing location and crest family memories that will last a lifetime. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and made us feel the love and Aloha of the Hawaiian islands...Mahalo Michele, Alijah & Lilly

Amazing condo with beautiful views. The condo was well maintained and very comfortable. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back. The property manager went above and beyond keeping in touch and even making reccomendations on where to eat and what to see during our stay.

We had seven staying at this rental ages 12 and up! Plenty of room for all with a king bedroom and attached full bathroom, queen bedroom, full bathroom adjacent, and two single beds with a double upstairs with its own full bathroom. The view was outstanding with the sound of the waves breaking throughout our stay and floor to ceiling windows with large sliding glass doors. A very private location and intimate grounds made our stay feel relaxing and like our own oasis. Inside a small closet we found two folding chairs and two camp chairs which we used throughout our stay. Friendly neighbors passed on some pool noodles and unused food items which was so thoughtful! Be aware the kitchen is on the small side but we happily made due. Lots of cups, plates, bowls, pans, etc to make cooking large meals easy! The grounds include a shower for the sand which inevitably travels back with you from the beach and shared gas grills for steaks and such. My teens enjoyed the pool and exploring the rocky beach for crabs and sea life. We saw sea turtles from our lanai! This location is a very short drive to many family friendly beach locations such as DT Fleming (shade) and Airport Beach (easy snorkeling). We would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful complex and a perfect place to stay for our family of 4. This condo had everything we wanted to be comfortable including twin beds for our kids to have their own space. We were a little worried about no A/C, but the windows and doors opened to allow for a great cross breeze that cooled the unit down quickly. It was well stocked with items for the beach; chairs, umbrellas, towels and a cooler. We brought our own snorkeling gear, but there were masks at the property and we could’ve easily rented some (we rented some boogie boards). The pool was well-kept and a daily favorite for our kids. From the lanai we could see the ocean and had excellent views of whales passing by. There is a small beach just to the left of the property where we saw turtles. The location is great, walkable to a grocery store and food trucks (about a mile away) and minutes away from Ka’anapali beaches and Lahaina by car (we rented one for the week). The host was super helpful and responsive to our questions. We were sad to leave and are looking forward to when we can return, hopefully soon!

We couldn’t have been happier.. the property was lovely, the rental had everything and more for our family, and our hosts were friendly and helpful. We traveled all over the island in search of the best snorkeling and it turned out to be right at the beach of the property. Sea turtles and rainbows?! Amazing!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay at the Polynesian Shores; we were looking for a quiet get away to recoup from busy work lives and got just that. The views are amazing, from your lanai you can watch whales in the distance. The kids loved the pool and being able to see the turtles everyday on the shoreline. The parents enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon cocktails on the lanai each day. We loved this property as it is not nearly as busy as the bigger hotels/condos - never an issue finding a chair at the pool. There is no true beach but instead little pockets of sand amongst the rocks; the upside is that the turtles come to visit almost daily to eat from the rocks.

Sea Turtles! And more sea turtles! Steps away from the condo. If you want to get up close and swim with turtles, this is your place! Deb (host) was great! Condo had everything we needed, including nice extras like mask and snorkel, beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, and even a set of binoculars to watch the whales with. The grounds and pool area are well maintained. Reserved parking spot, you need a rental car on Maui! Nearby shopping and restaurants. Slower pace than the big resorts. We loved it! Mahalo Deb!

There is a private beach accessible from both the left and right sides. We saw turtles daily and whales almost everyday (if in season which is Nov to April). The resort is immaculately kept and stunning! We don’t ever go anywhere else. Planning out next trip soon!

We had such a beautiful stay at Polynesian Shores! Such an incredible view! We saw whale spouts galore from our lanai and sea turtles by the shoreline every day! Pool and hot tub were lovely and the condo was comfortable and clean. Already planning for a return trip! Huge thank you to our hosts!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This wasn’t our first rodeo at Polynesian Shores and for good reason! My wife and I have been vacationing here for years. We like to stay in the lower units as it is just a short walk from our lanai to beautiful lawn filled gardens right on the ocean. Depending on what time of year you might arrive, you have a good chance of seeing whales swimming by. In the morning there are always turtles swimming near shore. There’s a nice pool and hot tub to relax at with plenty of chairs and tables. In the same area there are several barbecues if you decide to jest in. The rooms are very nice, with full kitchens and each unit decorated differently. Polynesian Shores is close to grocery stores, shopping and some of the best restaurants. Some of the best beaches for snorkeling, and if your into golfing, great courses. Maui has a lot to offer, but this is our favorite side of the island to stay. Polynesian Shores staff are great and a available if needed. It’s peaceful and a great place to make new friends. I almost forgot, the best sunsets we’ve had the pleasure of seeing. That is why we keep coming back! Mahalo!
