The grounds are immaculate and very well cared for by Eric. Our Condo was comfortable and the bed was so comfy. I think there were a couple things they could do better as far as updating the lanai. Providing tie backs for the curtains to allow the breeze to flow.

overall it was great! comfortable and great location. The place and everything in it (pans, mugs etc) are a little outdated. Does not have a clear view of the ocean but the grounds are beautiful and well kept. We felt safe and had fun while we were there. The pool was small but never had an issue of over crowding.

We had an amazing week on Maui. The view from this property is stunning- gorgeous sunsets and wide water views. Access to the water to snorkel, but no beach on the property although close proximity to beaches in two directions. Property is not air conditioned but great cross breeze and ac unit on second floor made it doable. Tennis and golf are nearby but not onsite. We would definitely stay again.

We were there 4 nights and would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice place to stay. Just a couple things to know, upstairs room was warm even with the fans. We could not sleep without them and they were loud but we were so tired from our daily activities we were able to sleep. The beds were ok, not the most comfortable but not bad. Overall the place was great and we would definitely come back.

We had 4 groups staying at the same time and it was easy to visit and congregate at any of the condos. The views were spectacular, and the price was very reasonable. The property was described accurately and we were able to check in early as there was no renter the day before. The access entry codes are a great way to go so we didn't have a key to lose. The unit was stocked with everything we needed to stay in and cook if we wanted to. All of us will definitely be back in the future!

Great ocean view but not beach front. Nice and big with an extra blow up mattress. Loved using the beach chairs and umbrella. No Marco Polo in the pool and the the fridge was really dirty with bloody meat dripped. Not enough blankets or towels. We got locked out, the door lock battery died.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: We stayed in a different unit 11 years ago so I knew booking here wouldn’t disappoint. Still we were blown away! The grounds are SO well maintained. The unit worked well for our family of 5. I don’t think there’s a bad view from any unit here. We were close to groceries, beautiful beaches and restaurants. When I had questions, they were answered promptly by management. We had a wonderful stay! Understandably things change over time.. we were sad the nice little beach next to the resort had been swallowed up by the ocean, but we still had a great time exploring the rocks, watching turtles and whales in our backyard and of course the best sunsets enjoyed on the lanai! We cannot recommend this place enough.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Polynesian Shores is the perfect beach front property! The grounds are immaculately kept and it is truly a piece of paradise. Unit 124 is wonderful, we have stayed here twice and on the complex approximately 8 times. It has the essentials you need for a stay (plates, glasses, coffee maker, blender, toaster, etc). Would highly recommend! The pool is fabulous and is heated- which some may not think is necessary in a tropical destination but it totally is.

Communication from the owner was clear and comprehensive. Overall the condo is excellent. The bed in the bedroom is comfortable and our daughters really appreciated the Murphy beds in the living room. They are a huge upgrade over a sofa bed. The property is well maintained. The BBQs are excellent, and the hot tub was great on the cool evenings.

This property is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are wonderfully maintained and the hot tub/pool area is perfect for all ages. We enjoyed the ground floor unit for our young family.

We enjoyed the condo and the view was fantastic. The only bad part there were two days where two teens were totally oblivious and had no regard for the adults even tho their parents were there. When I said something they just shrugged their shoulders so we left. Otherwise the people were friendly and helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our time here! It's a great location for families. Property management was very responsive and great to deal with.The Condo itself is on the end, and it's bright and the view is incredible! Since it's on the back/ end however it is quite a bit nosier due to the the road behind it- but for us it was worth the trade off for the view. Our kids are older, so it didn't really matter if the motor bikes or stereos were blaring by... The condo inside is older and well used. I gave it a 3 stars because of it being a bit banged up, but the property itself is immaculate. The condo also had a lot of cutlery and plates, and we appreciated the extra fans. People here respect the pool hours and quiet hours which is fantastic.We loved having meals on the Lanai each day as a family. Kids loved watching the whales!

We also LOVED it was sooo quiet in the back bedroom because it only backs onto a pathway/ trees so the street noise is more distant.
