We enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo, located up the road from the Wailea Shopping Centers. Clean and modern and well-stocked.

First family trip to Maui. Good location for first time visit. Just on the outskirts of the busy part of Kihei so when we were “home” it felt quiet and relaxed. The condo itself felt spacious for family of 4 and daytime family visitors. Condo was spotless, everything in working condition, lots of extras such as beach gear, towels, kitchen essentials and a grill. The pool and jacuzzi was a nice added bonus to the trip with a beautiful view. We felt like we were at a resort. Host was easy to reach with quick responses. We had zero concerns or issues, the whole stay was a pleasure.

We had such a relaxing stay at Rose’s impeccably maintained condo. The pictures don’t do it justice; it was spotless and probably the most well kept VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. It was very comfortable and you can tell how much pride the owners take in it. Excellent location (others have commented on the traffic noise, which you can hear when the doors are open) but it was silent at night. Great to be so close to the beach and to the hotels (if you didn’t feel like cooking). Anything you could ever want could be found in a drawer or cabinet e.g. shower gel, aluminum foil, champagne stopper - really, I couldn’t come up with anything other than food to buy. :-) Also, Rose was very helpful in providing suggestions on activities (read her pre-reads!) and was great at prompt communications. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Mahalo!!

Wonderful place to stay in Maui central to everything. So clean, so welcoming, and I highly recommend. Incredible sunrise and sunset views. From start to finish the rental went so smooth. Thank you for everything and Happy New Year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time at the condo - it has been updated since the pictures, with new flooring throughout. Previous reviews referred to the unit as dated, I don't think that's the case anymore. The unit was very well stocked for our visit including a well appointed kitchen. We were easily able to cook a Christmas dinner! Worked really well for our family of 4 adults and two kids. We also had a good experience with the property managers, internet cut out one day, and someone was over at the unit to fix it within a couple hours. Would definitely stay there again! Two flags, the unit has a fair amount of stairs to the unit and within in, if mobility is an issue. It is also close to the road - the noise didn't bother us at all as the road isn't super busy, but those who are sensitive to road noise might find it bothersome.

Stayed for five days just prior to Christmas. All of us (family of four) really enjoyed our stay. Condo was very clean and modern, with almost everything appearing in new condition. Pool area and hot tub was quiet and really nice. Kitchen had anything we needed for the occasional meal we cooked. Quiet top floor unit with decent privacy on the lanai. All beach equipment was in very good condition. Great communication with Jillian on an early check in. Also, when we arrived, we realized there was no laundry detergent for the washer. In the property notes this was to be included. A short email to Jillian resulted in a surprising delivery of detergent that same afternoon. Great customer service! These little touches make the difference. Would stay again!

This unit is beautifully remodelled and spacious. We visit Maui frequently but this was our first time staying at The Palms. We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed our proximity to the pool. The second bedroom needs some love. A chest of drawers and more comfortable mattresses would be very desirable. Also, a bigger hot water tank is needed to service a larger family. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most certainly be returning to this lovely home away from home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just got back from 5 days in #905 and enjoyed our entire stay! The Palms are centrally located to everything and the condo location itself was perfect. We loved the walk-out bottom floor and the corner location made the outdoor seating areas very private and ideal for morning coffee and watching the sunsets over the water. The pool was also nice and easy to get to. All the amenities in the unit were high quality and worked well. Everything we needed for a fun beach day was also included - highly recommend and hope to return! Easy-peasy and island breezy.

Everything was fantastic except the check in code to unlock the front door didn’t work and we need to call the office to get access, but thankfully they were immediately available and we were able to get in without issue.

The condo was perfect for our Maui vacation. Location was quiet and very convenient to all of the shoppes, restaurants, and resorts. Pool/spa onsite and beach in walking distance. Unit was updated with all of the needs and wants with open concept and oversized lanai. New AC minsplit was great to provide cooling and was quiet. TV/Bose was a nice feature for unwinding with music, or enjoying a late night movie. Host was personable and responsive.

Lovely condo at the Palms. Lower level with large outdoor patio and floor to ceiling windows. Rebecca does an excellent job communicating during your stay and has the condo stocked with everything you need to enjoy paradise for your vacation.

Large, spacious condo with everything you need. We have 5 adults and a baby stay and there was more than enough space. The Palms is a beautiful complex, the pool area is wonderful. As other reviews noted, it is on a busy road and I didn’t realize how many loud vehicles there would be. It was not a big deal for us as we live downtown and are used to the traffic noise. The management company was wonderful, they answered all of my emails very promptly. I would definitely stay at the Palms again!

We stayed in two separate Palms condos during our week in Wailea. This was our favorite by far. Things we liked: Prime inner “courtyard” location. Sunny, open, lanai views of pool and gardens. Our second condo did not have this location and we missed that. It is a huge difference. Cleanliness! Everything labeled and neat. The kitchen has everything and everything has a label. My wife loved this. Bathroom has makeup towels, cu-tips, shower gel, etc. Great attention to detail. Shower is nice and powerful. Bathrooms are stunning. We want the sectional couch. So comfortable. If we could have fit it in our checked luggage, we would have taken it. Master bed was super plush. Great sleep. For football - giant high def TV. Finally, all of the chairs and umbrellas from the condo that we took to the beach were in top shape. Too many other condos often forget the small things. Would definitely stay again!! We loved it!!

Our stay was wonderful!! Very easy access into the property!! It was beautifully kept and maintained! The pool was a great feature which our kids frequented every day!! I loved how there was everything we needed for the beach (chairs, bags, umbrella, etc) which saved us from having to go buy them while here! I noticed that some people were not a fan of the low light switches - like really? Who cares!!!! What a silly thing to complain about the place is beautiful! Lots of extras in the pantry and fridge which was great! Everything you would need to cook with was available! We honestly didn’t need the AC on we felt it cooled down enough at night that the fan was enough! Our kids slept great on the pull out sofa! Thank you for the wonderful stay and we hope to be back one day!! Aloha

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this particular property a number of times. Great location, easy access on the ground level. Block 11 is elevated high enough that it provides a great view of the ocean and incredible sunsets. The wrap around lanai is very private and is a great space to entertain or just relax.Property could use some updating soon. When you have steady rental traffic, certain things need to be replaced. Booked already for 2024.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third time in this unit over the past few years. It is in a great location, extremely well equipped with kitchen utensils, really nice glassware, plastic ware for the patio, beach chairs, tons of towels, etc. We appreciate the nice appliances too. I've mentioned before that an upgrade on the mattresses and pillows would be a great benefit for better sleep and an up-size in the living room television would be great! Unfortunately this stay, we had a family of five in the condo above us that had total disregard for the fact that their were residents below them. After two reminders from Maui Rentals with no change in their behavior, we almost moved to a hotel to get away from the 24/7 stomping, running and scraping of chairs, but couldn't bite the bullet for the cost of that. Despite the unwanted noise from them on this trip, this is a delightful place to stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed at the Palms many times and this was another wonderful trip. Great location. Nice premises. This unit is a little dated but what was expected. On the second day, from the couch, we watched the lanai sunshade fall from the ceiling and crash to the ground. We contacted Maui Rentals and they said they’d send someone out to fix it. A handy person arrived, looked, and said they’d return with the appropriate supplies. Then 2 people returned, and again said they’d return with the necessary tools. We never saw them again and the sunshade stayed broken and laying in the ground during our whole trip, which made sitting on the lanai not possible for some of our guests. That was very disappointing.

This condo is in a great location, close to everything. Groceries, beaches, snorkelling. The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked all of our meals there and ate out on the beautiful lanai. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Except maybe better pillows. A minor thing considering it was otherwise exceptional .

Did not have to communicate with the owner as everything went as desired, so N/A for that question. Liked the place, it had the basic equipment needed, and the environment was quiet and lovely. Bring your own necessary cooking spices.

We loved everything. The condo was beyond great. Beautifully decorated and spacious. Rose had everything you could possibly want in the condo. We went for my wife's birthday and will try to get back for our anniversary. The surrounding area is beautiful. Thank you Rose for making this an amazing time. Of all the years we have stayed in Maui, this was the most beautiful and memorable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit was spotless and better equipped than any condo I’ve ever stayed in. It is a beautiful ground floor unit with stunning ocean views and a large lanai, which we used daily. The two bedroom, two bath unit is nicely appointed, but we were especially struck by the quality of the durable goods in the unit - from the dishware and cutlery to the beach towels, chairs and umbrella. The owners have thought of everything. Just sit back and enjoy. Aloha and Mahalo to the owners.

This is our second time staying here and it’s as good as ever. There have been some nice updates made to the main bathroom area that we loved and helped make our stay even more comfortable. The location is great and although some complain about the traffic noise honestly it’s not that bad. The villa is well equipped and dealing with Roxann was as usual delightful. We will definitely be back

Condo is nice, but definitely outdated. The remodel must have been done some 20 years ago. Not exactly luxury. The ocean views are not so fantastic and the infinity pool is a stretch. Hot tub packed with little kids, most of the time. Disappointing.

Spacious, well-equipped unit, nicely located in Wailea. Ten-minute walk to the beach; many beaches easily accessible by car. We agree with other reviewers that the directions to the unit need to be clarified. Fortunately, I had read the other reviews and did research beforehand, so we found the unit fairly easily. Two additional suggestions: the bed pillows need to be replaced as they are worn out; and cleaning staff should check the beach chairs regularly (we found garbage left by previous renters in the pockets - gross).
