Congrats to new owners. They have lots of work ahead of them to make it a first class unit. We appreciated the AC units recently installed. Gilberto, the handyman/cleaner, was a gem. Loved that there were spices, coffee filters, coffee, etc in the pantry. The owner was very responsive. Thank you

My wife and I loved the unit. Very large and way bigger than the 2 of us needed but was situated on the beach and all of the amenities. Exactly as advertised and we would most definitely return.

I was a little nervous about this being a first floor unit after reading a few reviews, but it is not a ground floor unit! Parking is underneath and the view is not affected whatsoever! This unit had the most stunning views of anywhere I’ve ever experienced! Sea Turtles would come and lay on the beach, and we watched whales breach right from the lanai! Just magnificent!!!

The property was beautiful and well kept. Our 5th floor condo, #356, overlooked the ocean with views of other islands. This beautiful condo was just what we needed for 4 adults, with lots of room, comfort, and well furnished. Captain Jacks restaurant, on-location, was excellent and was less costly than other local spots. We would choose this condo again in a heart beat!

This property is exactly how pictured. Its clean & beautiful. The view (my favorite part) is amazing, its absolutely stunning. We could see some whales out in the water from our balcony. Our girls loved using the boogie boards & having their own private balcony. All of your basic needs are supplied (sheets, towels, silverware, etc). We would absolutely recommend this place & would most certainly book again.

We stayed a week in February - 2 families of 4 (kids age 3 - 12) and had a wonderful time. It was so nice to have the pool, beach, Captain Jack’s restaurant and beach gear rental all in such close proximity to the condo. We also enjoyed evening pickleball at the lit courts. Under building parking is nice to have a cool car to go out to. Miso Phat sushi right across the street is also excellent. Would rent again!

The views from this balcony & living area are incredible. We spotted several whales while we were enjoying our time outside. The no AC was not an issue, the condo has fans and the breeze is nice coming off the ocean and into the condo. Plenty of space in the kitchen for cooking & enjoying meals in. Would absolutely stay here again.

February 2025

I can’t say enough about this beautiful condo, the pictures do not do it justice! It was so spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. It has everything a family could need. The view was awesome with many whales, spinner dolphins and turtles. The location was central and the beach was wonderful. The locker of beach chairs and toys was an added bonus. Thank you for the wonderful stay!!

Family group of 6 and we really enjoyed the space! So much natural light and a view of the ocean at every turn. Beautiful breezes off the water and the sounds of waves crashing lulled us to sleep. We were even able to watch whales and turtles from the balcony!The condo was clean and spacious with everything you would need to make meals or hang by the pool or beach…which were right downstairs. So convenient!Cynthia was always available if we had and questions and provided a huge list of suggestions for restaurants and excursions which we followed and were never disappointed.We would most definitely stay here again!!

We had the most incredible stay at this condo in Maui! From the moment we arrived, the view took my breath away – the panoramic ocean views from the lanai are absolutely stunning, and watching the sunsets every evening was a highlight of our trip. Plus, we saw a ton of whales without even leaving our room! The condo itself was pristine and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The host was extremely responsive, always available to answer any questions and provide helpful tips for things to do around the island. It really felt like they genuinely cared about making our experience special.The resort amenities were top-notch as well – from the beautiful pools to the well-maintained beach access and fantastic on-site restaurant, it truly felt like a luxurious escape. This place exceeded all expectations and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

This place really delivered. We had 5 women staying for a girls trip and felt like we had plenty of room. We spend most of the time sitting on the porch listening to the ocean and watching the sunsets and whales. The views were amazing and the apartment well appointed. The beach right in front was a beautiful spot to swim. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend

Imagine sitting on your Lanai sipping your coffee and seeing a dozen whales frolicking in the waters off of West Maui. That’s what this property offers. It is nicely appointed, clean and close to many attractions and amenities. Can’t go wrong.

The lanai was outstanding and included a convenient gas grill. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. The round kitchen table was great for playing cards. Access to the beach club and racquet club was real plus. Overall we had an outstanding stay!

Our blended family of seven stay for five nights. The location was great - there was plenty of space and the pool/hot tub were great transition to the start and end of our days. The view was amazing and the property manager was very responsive. The only heads up I would offer to the next guests is that there was only one set of shampoo and conditioner for the two bathrooms and the kitchen only has the bare essentials - no spices, plastic wrap, tinfoil, etc. A few additional bath towels would have been nice as well.

Balcony with views of whales, turtles and sunsets! All furniture very comfy. We had a few issues that we sent to owner - hopefully they will take care of them when they are there next. Pool and hot tub were amazing as was the new restaurant beside the pool. We would stay there again!

This property could not have been more perfect! Spacious kitchen and living room. The location to the beach is unbeatable. We slept with the patio door open and the ocean lulled us to sleep. Check in was easy and staff were friendly and helpful. Having Captain Jack's on property is great for the days you don't want to cook, food and drinks were great! There were plenty of things within walking distance, shops and market.There are two pools the pool closest to the ocean is 4-5ft deep. The other pool (kiddie) is a nice sloped wading pool, with a hot tub attached for parents to hang out in! The property was well kept - there are grills on property and they were clean every time we went to use them.We were there in January, so weather was perfect. Not having AC was not an issue, but I could see possibly in the hotter months it could be too warm.We had an evening flight out and requested a late check out. Which was approved 48hrs before check in, we were happy to pay the fee to have a last day of lounging and enjoying the beach before our flight out.Highly recommended - looking forward to planning another stay soon.

We absolutely loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone. The moment you walk in the door and see those floor to ceiling windows with the incredible ocean view takes your breath away. Eating homemade banana bread for breakfast in the morning on the balcony was an instant core memory. And let’s not forget whale watching from the windows. Wow! Besides that, we liked that there was plenty of space for the whole family. Nice kitchen and dining area, too. The pool and hot tub were great. And the cherry on top was eating at Captain Jack’s right downstairs. Amazing place to stay. Will come back for sure!

Loved visiting Renee and Brett’s place with two couples for one week. We both loved that we had ocean view from each bedroom and could hear the sound of the ocean all night long. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that we needed to do cooking and baking. Beds were comfortable and towels were flush. We are excited that they will be refreshing the decor in the future, but we spent the majority of our time at the great sands of Kahana resort outside at the beach anyways! The resort has great beach chairs, a refreshing pool, nice hot tub, tennis court, and Pickleball courts (all free and you can borrow equipment). We are definitely excited to visit in the future!

Lovely condo with a view that can't be beat. Condo is equipped with everything you could need for the beach, pool, or cooking. Plenty of room for TV watching, whale watching, or reading quietly. Spacious lanai. We liked the quiet of the Kahana location.

We were happy with the apartment overall, although it was quite pricey for a two night stay, unable to spread out the other fees (cleaning etc) over more nights to average the nightly rate down.

January 2025

Wow, what an amazing location this unit is at! We slept listening to the waves and enjoyed our mornings on the lanai. We were a close drive to the islands best snorkling beaches. The unit was perfect for our family of 7 and we cooked most of the meals in the unit. The kids enjoyed the pool and the beach right on site. The owners were very prompt at answering a question we had. We highly recommend this place and will absolutely stay here again if we find ourselves in Maui again!

I highly recommend this condo for your stay in Maui. Very spacious condo, perfect for my family of 5. Very clean, the hosts were very responsive! We loved hearing the ocean at night and in the morning seeing the whale spouts right off the lanai, and perfect for viewing the sunset. The amenities were so nice, we made use of the pool, the beach and the pickle ball courts. Can't wait to go back to Maui and stay in this condo again.

John was a fantastic host during our pre-Christmas trip to Maui. The condo was a stone's throw from the beach/ocean and the Kahana location made it easy to navigate the island. We will be staying at John's place again in the near future.

Great ocean views, great beach. Unit has some dated finishes. Better cutlery, cookware and dishwasher would have improved our ability to cook in the unit.
