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!

We spent a wonderful week at this beautiful condo. It is much larger than any other we have stayed at before. The view is absolutely amazing and the sunsets are stunning! We saw whales and plenty of turtles from the property! The home was immaculate, fully stocked with everything we needed and the beds and pillows are VERY comfortable! We didn’t want to leave, but we will certainly return!

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.

Someone knows how to decorate. The condominium looks recently updated with new paint and furnishings. Excellent condition. Quiet efficient air conditioning.

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

This condo was amazing. Had everything we needed and the view was simply spectacular. While I was initially concerned about there not being any AC they had enough fans to create good airflow. From the balcony we ate all our meals and the sun is blocked until about 4PM that you can enjoy it and the breeze is cool. Wonderful place. Will definitely return.

The description and details of the condo were accurate. The ancillary items provided (spices, beach toys, etc,) set this condo apart from other condos that we have previously rented. Cindy was very responsive to all our questions.

I booked this condo for my family of 6 ages 7, 12, 16, 40, and 43; I’m 66. We had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms to spread out and live very comfortably for a week in paradise!! The penthouse condo was clean and beautifully arranged and decorated. But…THE VIEW from our lanai was breathtaking. The moment we opened the door to the lanai, we looked at the panoramic view of the multiple blue waters of the ocean and then looked at each other with smiles from ear to ear! We knew we made the right decision to book this condo. The huge kitchen, dining area, and living area were just perfect for us. The washer and dryer was so convenient for all of us, a great touch to the condo! We watched whales and turtles from the lanai, the beach, and from the pool! The property is centrally located on the island; every event we attended on the island was within 11 minutes. Captain Jack’s restaurant is located on the property beside the pool with a view of the ocean; the food is delicious and the staff is so friendly and full of information about Maui! The grounds were clean and well manicured, and the very friendly groundskeepers were constantly tending to the property upkeep. Parking was ample. A small convenience store, McDonalds, a sushi restaurant, a coffee shop, souvenir shops, among other shops and eateries are all within a 5-minute walk. Our host Cindy was great!! We all agreed that the condo was an A1 choice! We will definitely book this condo again on our next trip to Maui! Mahalo!!

This is an AMAZING unit! The view was fantastic! The pool and beach were outside the door. They had a restaurant next to the pool, that was convenient. The unit itself was very comfortable, with a great balcony that looks over the ocean/beach/pool. It is fully stocked and lacks nothing. They have several natural gas grill stations, which we used.Parking spots are really tight, that would be my only improvement.

We had such a good trip to Maui and this property was a part of our wonderful vacation! It was super clean and everything felt nice and new. The kitchen was nicely stocked and the beds were comfortable. The cute little sleeper sofa on the enclosed lanai was a bonus. We loved drinking our coffee on the other lanai and watching the whales every morning! Check in and check out was easy.In addition, the property has a nice beach, grills close by, plenty of beach toys, and a pool that our kids loved. There's even a place by the pool to rent paddleboards, snorkel gear, etc. We would definitely stay here again.You do have to pay a "resort fee" when you check in - ours was 75. The only (small) issue we had was that the property advertises a lot of fun free classes, like lei-making and hula dancing, but wouldn't let us take them because we had rented through here instead of through the resort. It wasn't a huge deal but our kids were disappointed.

The condo was so nice! Showers, beds, kitchen, and the extras like having the beach equipment and extra kitchen supplies was wonderful. We grilled out, ate at the local restaurant, hot tea overlooking the ocean each morning. Owners communicated back immediately at my questions durinbbooking.

This please was just perfect for our family. We had three couples and celebrated 3 birthdays. The condo was centrally located from everything we wanted to do. We especially loved whale and turtle watching from the balcony. In fact, we had most of our meals from the table watching either the sunset or the sunrise behind us

This condo was exactly as it was stated. Beautiful, right on the beach, easy check-in, no parking fee, tons of kitchen items to eat/cook there, lots of room for four adults. Vance and Kelli were extremely quick in their responses to questions.Only negative comment I would say is that for the price, it would have been nice to have bathroom amenities to cover the week we were there given the service and management fees that we paid. Unfortunately, there was no laundry detergent as stated there would be. Other than that, I would absolutely stay their again and will recommend to anyone going to Maui.
