We had a lovely stay. The condo was well equipped and perfect for our family. We explored much of west Maui with ease, and were delighted to discover an amazing sushi place across the street. Seriously don’t miss it. The facility was well kept always clean. It is a delightful place to stay and we would happily return if we come back to Maui.

The balcony was the best part. We had the window open all the time and listen to the sound of the waves. I could walk around the whole apartment and not see anyone outside so very private apartment was well furnished, well stocked, and clean. We didn’t need anything while we were here. I was sceptical about the Murphy bed, but it was comfortable and we both slept very well. The kitchen is fully stocked and the appliances all worked. The building was quiet. The elevators were quick and we didn’t have to wait long. The pool was beautiful and perfect after a day of activities. There is no beach in the front unfortunately due to erosion but so many options here in Maui. We really enjoyed our stay here and if coming back to Maui, we will book again.

View was great, and it was a comfortable place to stay. Did miss AC, as it got a little extra warm at night, but enjoyed the condo.

Turtles on the beach, visible all day. Can easily see the whales breaching in the distance.
Clean, warm pool. Nice little beach that feels rather private. Rental place and small grocery across the street - really, just about everything you need. And, it's just a short drive to Kaanapali resort area.
The condo is perhaps a little dated, but absolutely worth the price.
Highly recommend staying here.

13 days at Valley Isle, Kahana, Maui was incredible. So many amazing experiences on that Island. Valley Isle Resort is an amazing resort. We had an ocean view on the 11th floor. Seen turtles, rainbows and whales every morning on the lanai having morning coffee. Walked the beach for our second cup. Had a few negative aspects though. The pool was beautiful but it was too windy almost every evening with a good chance of rain. Maybe it’s how the resort is situated but the wind tunnel was consistent. Weather was “moody”, as we were explained, on that side of the island. Room was weathered but provided everything we needed. We would recommend to anyone and left Maui so grateful. Much Mahalo and Aloha

We had a time of our lives in this gorgeous condo that had everything one may need. The view cannot possibly be described, the place is immaculate with cute little kitchen with everything needed. The host was fantastic, she dealt with a small wi-fi glitch immediately and we felt comforted that she would be there for just about anything. We vowed to return to this little heaven on earth.

It was clean, close enough to walk to a coffee shop and a couple of restaurants, and the view was great. We saw a few whales in the distance from the balcony. I did see some complaints of no air conditioning but it wasn't needed, as long as you kept the sliding door open with the screen shut. It could use some updating but that's more of a cosmetic thing than anything else. The mattress could also be upgraded, but I have slept on worse. Overall, it was a good value and location and a great view.

This is a perfect place for a couple that just needs a place to stay and wants to spend time on their lanai just looking at the view. The unit is a little dated but completely functional. always could see 4-6 turtles just below us and lots of whales. not hot (we went in March) with great airflow.

I this is my second stay here. I absolutely can’t say enough about the view. The master bedroom is right on the ocean . I saw turtles every morning. Very clean and comfortable. Loved all the beach chairs and cooler.
March 2024
Management makes check in so easy that you can begin having fun immediately. The balcony high top bistro table was comfortable for dining or just enjoying a glass of wine while whale watching. We saw some playful whales a few times during our visit . The air conditioning installed in July was awesome for sleeping and hanging out in the den. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in on vacation . A big plus was opening the curtains to the view upon awakening. There could be a little more storage for luggage , etc. but we stored in the closet . iIt was tight, but worked . Kitchen was well stocked with a very nice washer and dryer . Thank you for leaving such nice beach chairs and umbrellas for our use .

The views from the 7th floor are amazing—we could see turtles directly below and whales in the distance—close enough even to see their tails! Waves crashed all night and despite no AC, was very cool with cross breezes. Nice lobby with luggage carts. No beach directly under condo building but a few steps to the left and there’s a charming beach that our kids loved. Gentle waves, decent snorkeling, and no car required. I would have loved a broom and a pair of binoculars but otherwise it was perfect!

This is such a great place, and perfectly located to be able to watch the whales in the winter and the sea turtles below. With palm trees just out your window. They are a pleasure to see and doesn’t obstruct your view of the ocean. The resort is very nice. We felt very safe and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be renting this location again.

This condo is exactly described as the listing shows. Being able to watch the whales on the Lanai's is the golden ticket. I initially did not receive the check in info e mail, but Ken was very quick to respond to make sure we had the info we needed. The master bed was fine, but it is VERY soft with a foam pillow topper. Also, if there is any wind, expect to get blown away at the pool! It was unfortunately not overly warm and the pool is located in just the right spot to become a wind tunnel. It didn't stop my 5 year old from having the pool to himself! There is no light on the Lanai, which would be nice for night time card playing, but again, not a deal breaker. We love east Maui and would stay in this location again. This side of the island is much quieter, and has some great restaurants around including Kahana Maui Brewing location, Miso Phat, the fish market tacos, Miss Arepas, and the farmers market. We would stay here again.

All up to date and just feels like home. Always thankful for Stephanie and Steven, they respond quickly with any questions or concerns! JUST THE BEST! Making future plans as I am writing this.

We were very pleased with our stay and thought the decor was very tasteful. The views from the room were spectacular, especially for whale watching. The bed was very comfy and we loved listening to the waves crashing against the shore to lull us to sleep at night. We would highly recommend to others looking for a quiet place close to lots of amenities.

We enjoyed the building and suite. Great place to watch whales from the deck at sunset or sea turtles from beach. Facility is very nice "but awfully windy". Felt like a wind tunnel through courtyard. Chairs were being blown around pool area so that could not be enjoyed. Great location to Miso Phat, Dollies Pizza and Maui Brewing Co.

Overall we were very pleased with this choice! Lights in this kitchen were very poor, stove light did not work at all.
Ocean views were spectacular with both whales and turtles every day! Beach erosion overall requires you walk to an access point to enjoy sand and surf. Very pleasant grounds and kept immaculate. Mahalo for sharing this with the mainlanders!

We couldn’t be more thrilled with this condo and the view it gave! absolutely amazing and just what we were looking for. Condo was clean and had everything that we needed - the chairs, beach towels, cooler, and snorkel flippers were used daily! If we weren’t out exploring Maui, we were sitting on the Lanai watching whales (the views are unmatched!) or looking at turtles swimming below us. The beach close to the condo had a Monk Seal who frequently visited and also many turtles who came up onto the beach. We couldn’t have been more pleased with communication from our host! Thank you for a great stay!

I would have given everything a 10+ stars but 5 was the highest. The view was awesome. We saw the sunset.and the the full moon set over the water. The topper was we got to see whales for a couple hours. Getting ready to leave and there was a full rainbow! The whole experience was great! Highly recommended!!

This is a great property and I would stay here again for whale season.
The view is 5 out of 5.
Super clean unit, comfortable bed, linens and unit towels could be a little nicer, but were good enough.
The unit (for me) is for me a 4 out of 5. - see below for details. Technology upgrades needed.
Technology issues…
My only complaint and suggestion for improvement about the unit it that the TV is very small by modern standards (a ~10+ year old 26" 1080p television). A 43" 4k TV would cost $200 to $300 tops and could be done with minimal effort. For some that may not matter, but when I stay in Maui, I go out all day and watch some steamed content after the sun goes down. So that is important to me.
The cable modem was at least 13 years old and I had to contact Spectrum Cable to have it replaced… which was free and the property management company could have done any time in the last 5+ years but had not. If you stay there in the future, a visitor can expect performance between 800 and 1000 megabits per second download and 50-80 upload. This is up from 25 to 50 download before I coordinated the upgrade.
There were a few other small issues which needed to be handed by the maintenance company, but they were handled quickly and to my satisfaction. Sometimes things do go wrong and it is how people respond that really matters and for everything except the cable modem they were fine.

The location is superb. We watched whales and rainbows with our morning coffee on the lanai every morning. We listened to the waves and watched the sunset and the conch every evening. The studio was the perfect size for 2 people and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns promptly. Location was also great-close to beaches, snorkelling and hiking. Can’t wait to go back!

The location is superb as is the view from the lanai and bedroom. However, with no air conditioning the unit gets EXTREMELY hot in the afternoon, whether the windows and blinds are closed or not. Only half of the living area has black out curtains and the ones in the bedroom are taped together. The bedroom overhead fan is useless as it barely rotates on high! Beach chairs were nice to have but straps disintegrated when we picked them up to use. If there were a way to keep the unit cooler it would be a place to come back to. As is, I’ll stay somewhere else.

Mixed bag; great location and view - splendid. Unit worked well for 2 of us providing plenty of room. Cleaning crew for the unit (and building and grounds in general) receive very high marks. The mixed bag comes with the actual accommodations. Carpet is stained or dirty or both. The oven door opens halfway before striking against the side of the refrigerator (no way to move it in deep enough towards the wall). Cabinets are "tired" - some of the doors won't stay closed for example. These are not new conditions. Furniture showing use. Some little things like no bottom guides on the shower doors causing them to swing in and against each other. Basically 4 settings of china so if you have 4 people staying, you will run the dishwasher frequently or hand wash. With improvements, we would definitely stay there again. Otherwise, I would shop a little harder in the same building or adjacent buildings.

Everything about the unit was as advertised better. There were some comments about cleanliness in the recent past but either it’s been fixed completely or was overblown in the first place. We would re-book.
We have stayed in 5 or 6 units at Valley Isle and this is a fantastic example. It’s our favorite complex on Maui and we look forward to going back.
Vacasa while I’m certain they’re responsible for the good experience as much as the issues did fall down in checkin:
The elevators were completely out for a few hours and while not the fault of vacasa, they offered no options for us. Alternative units, communication with the building on our behalf, even updates as to when it was rectified. I contacted them directly and asked for help - they offered apologies and promised to be in touch. We got in on our own and then the next day Vacasa responded as though they didn’t know anything about it.
So like i said, annoying but not overly impactful. But when you look at the fees associated with booking with them, you do wonder what it gets you when you can also book similar units directly with owners.

The condo was quiet. The view from the lanai was beautiful! We watched the sunset from the lanai each night. The water pressure in the shower is excellent!

The unit was very nice! LOVED my view from the balcony and bedroom! Everything was updated and I really appreciated the use of the provided cooler for our day trips and binoculars for whale watching from the balcony. I spent hours there. LOL I came to Maui in February to watch the whales and was not disappointed.
Not any fault of the place, but with downtown Lahaina closed down from the fires, dining in the area was a struggle. We learned quickly that dinner reservations are a must and should be made early if you don't want to eat fast food or drive an hour to get somewhere else.
Check in was very confusing. Instructions said to check in with security desk. We arrived just after 6pm and there was nobody that worked in the place anywhere to be found. There was also no one available at the number given to us for this particular unit's property manager. So we kinda had to guess where to go to find the unit. It's a little confusing because there are a couple of properties very close together which made it appear that they were all connected. Once we found the elevator though and went to the 2nd floor we found it with no problem. And access to the unit was easy with the lockbox outside.
Overall, the say was very nice. Although after exploring other areas of the Island, I think I would book in another location just given the distance to drive to most of the popular attractions from this place.

The owner Gwen was great to communicate with. The property is beautiful and in great condition. Do note there is no AC or Dishwasher. The breeze cools the places down very quickly. The sounds of the waves at night are the best. We saw numerous whales and a couple turtles outside our balcony. It was nice there is a liquor store, restaurants, and gas station across the street. Make sure you check out the food truck fair, and the Maui Fish Market for great food.
