Our family of 7, including our young adult & teen kids, spent 4 amazing nights in this beautiful condo on the beach. Communication with the owner was perfect. The home was clean & had everything needed for cooking, including many spices & ice maker. Towels, boogie boards, snorkeling gear, coolers in the condo for use. The bathroom set up has the sinks outside the toilet & shower rooms so they can be used even when the shower rooms were occupied. Washer & dryer in the unit worked great. PLENTY of space for a large group to spread out in or outside on the 2 lanais.The lanai off the living room has a large outside table & seating for up to 10 people; we ate our meals there. The view from the living room and lanai is AMAZING! The beach w/mild waves is just below the lanai & perfect for swimming. The A/C worked great, but we mostly just had window & lanai screens open with ceiling fans for a perfect breeze w/o A/C. There’s a small general store within a 5-7 minute walk. There are grocery stores & anything you’d need within a 10 minute drive. It’s close to Kaanapali beach& hotel areas, but “our” beach was a little more secluded & not overpopulated, which was nice. The resort is safe& quiet. The stars at night were beautiful & relaxing. We’d been planning of our family’s 50th state visit to Hawaii for years. Maui was all we dreamed it would be & this condo was truly “icing on the cake” to be our vacation home. We hope we can return to this home again someday! Thank you!!!

The condo was in a perfect location—just a short walk to the beach, with easy access to nearby bars, restaurants, and shops. The unit was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Although there was no air conditioning, it wasn’t an issue; the steady trade winds kept the space comfortably cool in the evenings and pleasantly breezy during the day. Overall, it was a great place to stay and an excellent value for the area.

This property provided the setting for a wonderful vacation week in Maui. It is the little details that sets this spacious property above others - like plenty of hangers in the closets, the many small appliances in the well-equipped kitchen and provided beach accessories. We spent many hours on the lanai taking in the spectacular views. Owners were quick to respond to communications prior to and after arrival.

There is no other word for it. The condo was amazing. Check in was easy, the elevators were great for getting luggage up and down. The view was breathtaking. Everything was clean, the amenities provided were great, and the AC was a lifesaver in the 85 degrees heat we had while we were there. Cynthia responded to questions and messages promptly. There was a book of instructions and places to visit that was invaluable. We ate at several of the places they listed and they were fabulous.

Overall, the place was very good. The view is amazing, and everything was functional. Great communication from the property management team. The location is good, and the on-site restaurant was convenient. Price was reasonable. The only negatives are that the property is a bit dated and has a few minor deferred maintenance issues that were fairly easy to ignore. I'll probably try to stay somewhere newer / more luxurious next time.

The condo was fantastic!! The view was amazing, you could see sea turtles in the mornings and evenings and the sunsets were breathtaking. We stayed for 8 nights and the first night we had dinner at Captain Jacks, the service was pretty good, the food was ok but definitely worth the convenience since we were exhausted from traveling and didn't have any groceries. The condo was so spacious and open while having separate and private sleeping areas. There were paddles for pickle ball and fins for snorkeling and a cooler for the pool. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything; from ziplock bags of various sizes, chip clips and well stocked seasonings. We used the grills in the common area one night and it was clean and ready for use. The beach was small but was not over crowded and the waters were calm. The restaurant scene was very diverse. Maui Brewing Company and Dukes Beach House were our favorite, between the menu options, the service, the delicious food and beautiful sunsets you can't go wrong. Aloha Plate and Mala was definitely over rated in our opinion. We truly enjoyed the Old Lahaina Luau and a Road to Hana tour through Travel Shack. We hope to go back and would definitely rent from Cindy again!

This property was great. The views from our 11th floor condo was the pinnacle ouf our trip. Mid April, we could see whales, dolphins and sea turtles daily looking into the 'Au'Au channel. Plenty of food options around as well as a grocery store and little bar. Lots of things in the condo to do if stuck inside.

We stayed in this excellent two bedroom condo for 8 days. The ocean front view was wonderful and sleeping so close to the ocean was very soothing. The master bedroom is oceanfront, which is not always easy to find in Hawaii. Many times the master bedroom is at the back of the unit.. No complaints, in fact, we never talked to the property manager/owner as there were absolutely no issues.

This was our 4th stay in this unit. It is extremely clean and has phenomenal views! There is new furniture on lanai overlooking looking ocean. This ocean front condo has the perfect view to watch whales breech. Anytime you look down to the surf you are almost always guaranteed to see multiple turtles swimming around. Renee the owner is extremely responsive if needed. We will definitely be back again!

Our stay could not have been better. Resort living at its best. Well equipped condo with only the finest touches. The restaurant onsite ... Capt. Jack's was fabulous for meals and happy hour. Be sure to check out Duke's for hula pie. Enjoyed many early morning hours and sunsets on the lanai. I think the double rainbow was created by Kelli just for us! Communication with host was immediately available. The only thing the four of us can say is Mahalo.

This condo was clean and well equipped. The location is perfect. The private beach, pool and Captains Grill were all fun to hang out in. It’s only a few minutes drive to great restaurants, shopping, and other Maui adventure activities. Beautiful ocean and sunset views from picture window and balcony. It had nice accommodations for our family of 8. The owners, Vance and Kelli, are caring hosts and were quick to respond to our inquiries and requests throughout this rental process. Mahalo!

Our family (11 of us) had a wonderful stay here! The view was amazing! Everything was so easy. I planned all the activities months in advance with the help of the concierge desk! There was a welcome meeting we attended that we learned of a few other activities, including a hike to the near by Blow Hole, which was very scenic and fun! There were grills so we could cook a few meals at home and several stores within a few miles. There were also close by coffee shops that my older kids walked to a few mornings. It was all very safe, I felt comfortable with my kids walking to and from the pool and beach alone. My only suggestion would be to bring extra beach towels. We had plenty of towels provided, but we also went swimming in the beach, the pool, sat in the hot tub at night and then took daily showers. Luckily, there was a washer and dryer to help keep up with our towel usage! Would definitely stay there again!!!

We stayed for nearly 2 weeks at this property and the condo was beautiful with stunning views as described. The property manager was easy to get a hold of, friendly and attentive to our needs as able. Downsides were with the trade winds passing through it sounded like a tornado inside the condo,likely due to the structure of the buildings, the locking mechanism on our door was broke so it often meant standing at the door trying over and over until it locked, and some of the screen doors were broken so we couldn’t sleep with them open listening to the waves as we like to do. thdoors wer
