The condo is fantastic. It was very clean and nicely updated. It is close to the pool which we loved. The complex is very well maintained. The lanai is huge and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There were beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels that were provided which was perfect for our beach days. We loved staying here and will be back again.

We stayed for the month of February and had an amazing stay! Property is exactly as advertised. Very clean, great location, and beautiful lanai. Our host Jillian was a great communicator and went above and beyond to accommodate us! We loved our stay here, can’t wait to come back! In comparison to what other properties rent for in Maui, this is an amazing place for the price! Highly recommend!

My husband and I stayed here 10 days and really loved our time at this nicely decorated, well located condo, being close to numerous beaches, shops and restaurants. The unit is very well stocked with everything you need.Mandy was absolutely fantastic in her communication and response time !We would highly recommend this unit at the Palms and hope to return again in the near future!

Jillian is a fabulous VRBO host, communication was excellent with quick response to any questions. Our family of 6 spent 11 nights and enjoyed every minute. The check in/out process is very simple. The unit is updated with modern decor, clean and well stocked in all areas. There is air conditioning in both bedrooms and the main living area. The kitchen had everything we needed including a crock pot and a vita mix. There was laundry pods to do laundry. The unit also has everything you needed for the beach including beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels and freezer packs for the cooler. Parking was directly out front from the unit. The pool was close and perfect to watch the sunset. We would definitely rent this unit or one of three units that Jillian owns for our next family trip to Hawaii!

This is one of the less "upgraded" units at the Palms. It has a nice garden level deck, but with no view and in the shade all day.It does however have easy access to the sunny pool area, and a short walk to the bottom of the property and across to probably the best beach on this side of Maui.

The Unit was wonderfully supplied with beach, bathroom, kitchen needs. The location to the pool and beach was perfect. The Master bed frame should be replaced it's dangerous and the bed is worn and uncomfortable.The master bedroom needs blackout curtains since it's next to the the public walkway to the pool and there is no privacy. The pull out bed/couch also is uncomfortable. We liked the unit location and most of the furnishings.

Unit was spacious, very clean, and well stocked.Property was professionally managed and management was very responsive. Loved the location close to the beach, Wailea and Kihei. Within the property, the unit was conveniently located close to the pool.

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 place was great for our family of eight. we were very comfortable with the space. The pros outweighed the cons on this one. We really liked the heat pump unit instead of having a normal A/C. The beds are comfortable. Overall there is too much of the owner's stuff everywhere. It's a bit cluttered. Some things are updated and some things are old. I can imagine it must be difficult though to upkeep and maintain a rental so the owners are doing well with that. Some future upgrades could be - get rid of the entertainment center and mount a bigger TV on the living room wall with media storage underneath, install fans in the bathrooms, and maybe a bigger hot water tank. (all 8 of use could not shower consecutively and we take fast showers) Also, the road noise can be loud in the evening. It is an uphill walk to the nice pool. Overall though, we would stay here again.Bello Realty was very kind and patient with us. they are great to rent from.

Location (The Palms at Wailea) was nice and quieter than most I seen. There is an awesome walk path with awesome ocean views (Wailea oceanfront beach walk) just a short distance away (starts at Aldaz resort) and beach is about 1/2 mile walk. The condo is on corner to entrance though so quite busy with other owners/renters leaving or entering property (driving and walking). The lanai is nice and big but is totally shaded and faces the road and other condos so not much to look at. The condo itself is fully stocked with kitchen appliances, utensils etc, plenty of linens and other misc in closets like scuba gear, lawn chairs etc. but we didn’t use. The bedroom is a nice size with a comfortable mattress and pillows. The owner responded in a prompt manner with any questions.

As described, the place was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and close to the beach & golf. The property was open and inviting. The outdoor BBQs were within a short walk and cleaned often. We loved it. We will return soon.

This unit was great for our family of 6. We had our two youngest (9 & 12) sharing the pullout coach. Location is great and we spent most of the time at the south beaches. The pool rules are no joke (there is someone there always reminding kids to play quietly etc) so that can be annoying for some if they are not expecting it. The beds are very soft (too soft for us but if you prefer soft they are right for you). The unti has lots of roomTo move around and ground floor was great to have for playing outside or having dinner together on the deck.

This place was great. Clean and spacious and well accommodated with AC. Our first time to Maui and while friends recommended Kihei I ended up preferring Wailea because overall it was just a nicer area. Places to walk, easy but drivable access to beach, quiet and nice places to shop and eat. The Palms was a very quiet and clean complex just down the road from Wailea Shopping Center (walkable - msybe 10 to 15 min). We did not use the onsite pool because the beaches are so epic, but it looked nice and clean. And it’s directly across the parking lot. Lots of beach gear so really no need to bring anything. We had snorkel gear but we didn’t need it. My only recommendation is plastic cups for adult bevy’s or tumblers for beach drinks and water. Anyways we would love to return.

Wonderful stay, as advertised, owner is very timely and helpful with any requests. The lanai is such a great place to spend time on, especially mornings and early evenings. Would definitely stay here again.

Quiet condo community with really nice shared pool and grounds. Comfortable beds. Decent walk or short drive to the beach and convenient to shopping, beaches, and restaurants in Wailea.

Unit was clean and easy check in. Everything we needed was supplied.Disappointed Maui no longer allows grills on the lanai. One packet of coffee would have been nice since we checked in late and didn’t pickup any supplies that night.Overall a great place and would recommend to my friends and family.

The condo had incredible views from the spacious deck area, comfortable furniture outside is where we spent most of our time during our stay. The inside of the unit was large but dated, drapery was pretty dirty and needs cleaning! It had most everything one could want beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella's, snorkel sets, nice big and comfy bed in master . Lots of spices in the kitchen which was appreciated , good basic dishes etc. The view was the best part of this unit by far we could see the whales while sitting on the deck so bring your binoculars. note there is no bbq on the deck they have them scattered throughout the property. The management company was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lawrence’s gorgeous and perfectly located home, albeit all too short. The bedroom is beautiful with an incredibly comfortable bed; the spacious living area is also big and very tastefully decorated, featuring a few of Lawrence’s beautiful nature photos as well as big comfy sofas and a TV with an amazing sound system. The sunny kitchen was fully equipped and offered even more than we needed. The property’s swimming pool and jacuzzi are set in a delightful garden with ponds and tropical plants, all very beautiful and only a short walk to lovely beaches.Lawrence couldn’t have been more accommodating and communicative. He responded immediately to all our queries and needs and allowed us an early arrival and even offered us a late departure, which was so incredibly helpful. Lawrence really is the most gracious host.I highly recommend Lawrence and his beautiful home for short or long stays; we could have stayed for weeks very happily. Thanks for everything Lawrence!

First the good stuff. The location and views were wonderful. The unit was right next to the pool which was very convenient. The sunset views were awesome.In terms of the unit we were disappointed. The unit is described as two bedroom but the second bedroom is separated from the living quarters by a louvered wall which offers no privacy. In essence then it is really a one bedroom. This particular unit is showing its age. The appliances in particular are well past their prime. For example the writing on the range top is barely readable and the buttons on the fridge water dispenser are worn through. When we arrived the lanai door would not lock despite instructions in the guest book to ensure it was locked. The lanai table was missing a piece of tile that was not replace during our 5 and 1/2 week stay despite us informing the property manager of same. We have never seen so many kitchen cupboards dedicated as “ owners cabinets” which was very inconvenient for storage of groceries. Upon arrival the coffee maker did not work so we replaced it ourselves. The kitchen knives were very dull and almost worthless. Generally the unit needs updating such as paint. This is the poorest quality unit we have seen in our VRBO experience.

We have stayed at the Palms before and return because it meets all our expectations and needs. I really miss the onsite BBQ, but I guess that is beyond control.

Place was clean and had the basics but it smells moldy.. the couch was not giving the sense of cleanliness and it was smelly. There is no AC they have unit AC in the bedroom

We have stayed at the condo 12 times, and loved it like a second home.Unfortunately, now that the US gov't is attacking and disrespecting Canada, we won't be coming back. And with the US removing all the consumer and health protections for its citizens, it also won't be safe to visit this country anymore.

The property is tired and needs a facelift. Kitchen lacked wine glasses, utensils and the drawer to access the pots would not open. Some very simple attention to these minor details would enhance the holiday. The management company was notified on the first Day but after 5 days was not addressed.

A clean home with all the amenities you could need. The beach chairs and snorkel gear were an added bonus. We would return here for our next visit.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property location and view was wonderful The pool was nice and landscaping top notch. The unit itself was adequate but overall dated. We would prefer to have direct beach access but the 10 minute walk wasn't too bad. While there was salt and pepper in the kitchen, there was no other cooking staples except a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and a dab of balsamic. Windex or some other all purpose cleaner would have been helpful as would a dustpan and brush to clean up sand.

Nice place, but owners need to pay attention to detail. Front door battery powered code lock wouldn't work, at least there was a key in the lockbox on the front porch, had to use the key (only 1 key) the entire time (15 days). Informed the property manager of the code problem, turns out the batteries had corroded inside the door code lock, had not been checked or replaced in 2 years as per the property manager. Master bath toilet had a broken lid and was very loose, something that should have been obvious while cleaning for next tenant. Screens on sliding doors very difficult to slide due to rust, screens had seen better days years ago. We cooked 1 meal while there, the pan we chose to use, handle was loose, almost to the point of being unusable, didn't bother to check the other ones, one would expect they would have been checked based on a previous evaluation of the cookware. Knobs on the stove almost unreadable (original?) plus one knob was a replacement that didn't fit or match. The light over the dining table had an adjustable dimmer switch for the light, it didn't work, had to remove the knob and turn the metal stem by hand to adjust the lights. Would I stay there again or recommend it to friends, NO, not for the money paid to stay there.

It seemed very old style, like not remodeled since the 1980s. Everything needed updating including electricity and streaming ability.

Enjoyed the location. Short walk to the Wailea walking path that goes for miles and a long sandy swimming beach. We adjusted to the traffic noise during the day and really liked the unit. The kitchen is very well supplied and there is a lot of beach gear. We also liked the generous supplies of dishwashing and laundry soap for a 6 day stay. Close to many wonderful island adventures.

Love the location of this property, the grounds are pristine, atmosphere is quiet and very relaxing. The condo was very inviting when we arrived. The condo itself could use some updates. Mattresses are very uncomfortable, the master bed has a foam topper on it but the mattress itself needs to be replaced. Some new frying pans are needed as well. Overall the property is Good, would stay again.

Walking distance to the beach. Plenty of things to do for kids ages(6-13).Will book again when vacationing in the area.

Nothing fancy but everything necessary available. We have stayed at the Palms several times and this is the second time there has been a malfunction of the hot tube. Not a big deal but when the weather is cool or rainy it is nice to have a functioning hot tub. This is an HOA issue.

Fantastic condo! Wonderful hosts! A few tiny hiccups that were resolved right away. The condo lanai is very private and large. Lots of good seating, great areas for sun or shade.

Listing was as advertised and quite comfortable. Location was very convenient with walking distance to beach, South Kihei, and resorts in Wailea. Also very close to pool which was beautiful with nice views. Some reviews mention bugs being a ground unit but with some basic cleanliness it wasn’t an issue. Only minor issues were only 3 regular knives for some reason although kitchen was well stocked otherwise. Also backsliding door lock was broken and secured with a door shim but overall no actually issues.
