It was as described. It was so relaxing to sit on the patio and watch waves roll in along with the odd turtle having dinner near shore. The ceiling fans kept the air moving and cool. The front desk for the parking permit, are super nice and friendly. There are a couple restaurant choices close by and a small grocery store within walking distance. I really enjoyed our stay, and I would stay again.

On beach . Beautiful balcony views. Well stocked condo. Not far from shopping and restaurants. No AC which was fine for us since fans and breezes made up for it most of the time. But if u require ac, then this is not the property for you.
All positives. If i had to list negatives, it is a little smaller than it looks. But it worked for 3 adults and 2 kids. Also, wish the pool was bigger and facing the beach..

Close to everything. Comfortable and quiet. Beach is close with lots of sea turtles. One hung out on the beach for half a day. Loved sleeping to the sound of the surf. Go!

Reviewer Comments:
This review will echo previous reviews from February and April of 2023. The view and location do not make up for the horrible condition of this unit. There is a large liquid stain on the area rug in the living room, very smelly black mold in the washer seal, as well as a broken handle on the dryer that keeps it from latching. This means you must stand there and hold the dryer door to keep it running or sort out some other way to keep it shut. The black mold was also inside and outside the shower, along with a loose shower tile (Chasin Rainbows did fix that and the lanai screen). We had to wear our water sandals in the shower to avoid any type of infection. Speaking of the shower, if you can get the diverter to function, do not push it back up or you will be "showering" by using a pitcher, as there is no tub. There is a high and awkward step up into the shower, so be careful stepping out. Also, don't use the electric kettle in the kitchen. It's rusty inside. I could go on but you get the idea. I emailed Chasin Rainbows regarding the condition of this unit and requesting to be moved. What I received was a text from maintenance two days later.Extremely disappointed and frustrated.

My wife and I, along with my grown daughter decided to go to Maui for some R&R. My wife and daughter have very stressful jobs so we were looking for a nice accommodation by the beach. This property fit the bill. It has a great beach right in front. We also travelled to other beaches that were easy to get to using local transit. The condo had all we needed as far as utensils and cooking needs. The only negative thing was that the Murphy beds were not put down as I had asked. The bed is also very uncomfortable. Many of the slats on the side to the ocean were broken. We worked it out. Other wise I would recommend this property to others wanting a good property to experience Maui.

I was really disappointed with the condition of the condo. Nothing has been updated since the 1990’s. The carpet had stains all over, the furniture was extremely cheap, scratched, or rusted. The appliances didn’t work well, the dishwasher was broken, the refrigerator didn’t keep food cold, and the air conditioner (if there even is one) doesn’t work and the Oceanside bedroom gets to be about 80-88 degrees in the afternoon. The shower curtain was all ripped. The best phrase to describe this condo is ‘bare minimum’, it’s obvious that the owners of this condo we stayed in does not put any money back into its upkeep. This place has not been remodeled or updated since the 90’s or early 2000’s. I’ve stayed several times using Chasing Rainbows, they’ve been great to deal with & usually the condos are in great condition, however this one was not. Very disappointed in the condition of the condo & everything in it was breaking, broken, or in poor condition.

Beautiful views of the ocean from the living room and bedroom. Absolutely gorgeous. Small beach - thankful there was a beach as many resorts don’t have one. Note that there is no AC but the weather was perfect and there’s a lovely cross breeze throughout the condo. Beds were comfy. Great location!

Reviewer Comments:
Location of the condo is great. There could have been many little things that could have been done or provided that would have made things better. Aside from the items mentioned above, the condo could have been better outfitted - i.e. there was no salt or pepper. The paper towels and aluminum foil was probably the cheapest ever. Several frying pans were warped to the point they did not sit on stove properly. They only provided 2-3 dishwashing pods for a 10 day stay - we had to buy dishwashing detergent. They did not even provide regular dish soap (like Dawn, etc.). I would rather pay $10 extra each day and not have to worry about such things on vacation. This gave me the impression that the owner was looking to save nickels to make pennies....

The resort is beautiful and well maintained. The unit is beautifully decorated with lovely personal touch and excellent taste. We got to see the turtles from the balcony almost everyday. The beach is so beautiful. The host responded promptly and provided instructions well in advance before our trip. I would have liked to have AC, but with fans and windows open, it was comfortable. I was impressed with everything and loved everything about our stay. I would totally recommend the resort.

Overall our stay was wonderful. The check in/check out process was seamless. The host was very responsive and helpful. The property itself had almost everything we needed. The location is within walking distance to several restaurants, shops, coffee and a gym. Plenty of dishes, silverware. It was nice to have a full kitchen to use. We used the pool/grill area everyday with our kids. Everything outdoors was well maintained and felt safe.
Only two ‘complaints’:
- With no AC the condo was uncomfortably warm at night, an extra fan just to circulate the air when the front door has to be closed and locked at light would have helped.
-The condo could use a good deep clean after the spring break rush. I’m sure this has a lot to do with the checkout/checkin time of the next guests, not a lot of room in between to deep clean. The bedding was clean and all the linens were clean, which is really the most important!

The owners have gone out of their way to make sure the room is fully equipped with everything you need.

The view is refreshing and stress-relieving, it gives serenity and peace. At night I and my hubby drink our cocktails at we witnessed the sunset and later on as it gets dark the starts and moon. We leave the patio screen open all night and can hear the waves all night long. The owner is nice and kind responds quick to any concern. The size is small but we were able to manage and enjoy! Thanks Gwen for letting us stay.

This was a great property for our family of four to spend a week in Maui. Sunrises and sunsets on the lanai were perfection, and there is a nice size beach. It’s a larger one bedroom compared to others we have stayed at in the past. The property was clean and in great shape. The kitchen had had adequate counter space, and having laundry in the unit was very convenient. I thought the property looked better in person than the photos. We would definitely book this property again!

Not good at all. In front of the balcony was a construction scaffolding which made it completely unpleasant to even sit on the balcony and eat. A nice view of the Ozean or sunset Was not possible, therefore we looked at buckets, plastic, dirt and ropes.Secondly there was a large unpleasant looking water stain on the carpet in the living room.The washing machine had black mold in the Saal and also smelled bad. In the kitchen some drawers fell almost a part or were broken. And finally the drain in the shower started to smell mußte once the water was running. All of this is inacceptable at your own place already, but if you go on vacation this is in particular for such a price is extortionately high.

A corner unit facing the sunset. We used the beach chairs/towels and cooler provided. Very helpful to have available. The bed was comfy. We cooked in the kitchen every day. Plenty of supplies. We went in mid April which was probably good since there is no a/c, which we knew about. With all the doors open and the fans going the breeze was pleasant. We did have one or two nights that were a tad hotter and it made a noticeable difference when trying to sleep. I doubt I could stay here in June/July/August. Hearing the crashing waves all day/night was heaven. Pool was nice. Beach was sandy. There are some rocks in the ocean, so maybe use water shoes. Parking was good. Several restaurants in walking distance including one the Maui brewing locations. Would definitely stay again in the cooler months of the year.

You can’t beat the view, the carpet needed cleaned. my daughter had a allergic reaction so her and her family that was staying with us had to find another condo to stay in. I called the property office and left a message for the manager, but by the time she called back they had already booked a non-refundable one. She said all she had was a 1 bedroom, but that doesn’t work for 5 people. So they moved and we stayed. I had verified 3 times that the twin beds would be put together to make a king bed. That wasn’t done we had to do it. There was no kitchen trash can, housekeeping went out the next day to buy us one. There was supposed to be extra keys in the condo. There wasn’t, we got one more the next day. The big refrigerator didn’t keep things cold, the door handle was held on with painters tape. They had a new small refrigerator also, which shows they knew the big one wasn’t working. Washer had sand in it, so it had to be clean before we could use it. But the W/D did work good. A kitchen cabinet door was hanging by one hinge. So maintenance came and fixed it. Cable wouldn’t work, Maintenance came twice and had to reboot the box several times, but then it only work a couple of days. Furnace filter was very dirty and hanging down out of the ceiling in the closet. I told the manager within the first couple of days about it. No one every came. Patio table was rusted all around the top.

Gwen is a great host and very responsive. The apartment has an impeccable view. Would have given 5 stars if wasn’t for the following: next door is being renovated. At times the sound of drilling would wake up our infant baby during his nap time.
The apartment could use some maintenance like the balcony bug screen does not close tight and there is big holes. We had two moths in the room at separate times.
Overall it was a great experience.

The host is professional, the place is clean, the views are out of this world and the location is great for exploring West Maui.
We woke up to the sight of rainbows nearly every morning, saw sea turtles from the balcony and whales out in the distance. Our daughter slept on the pull-out sofa that was actually comfortable.
Highly recommend staying here.

The best part of the rental was being ocean front on a more private beach area close to town access. Whale watching was incredible from the lanai. Not being so high up we had optimal views of the palms and ocean. Great place for a family stay with a more relaxed vibe.

This apartment was in an ideal location. The beach in front was great for swimming (a little steep to get in and out) and we snorkeled with turtles right in front! There was even a turtle resting up on the beach. You could watch the whales breaching from the deck. The complex itself was not yet fully open (larger function rooms etc still closed off) but the grounds were lovely. The barbecue by the pool was really great. I would suggest that the property invest in an electric Kettle for those who do not drink coffee as water took forever to boil on the cooktop. The washing machine was not working during our stay.

Location served as the perfect home base for family vacation. Easy access to the beach for a short morning walk or just lounging in the sand with the beach chairs provided. The views were breathtaking! Each morning coffee and evening happy hour were spent watching the whales and turtles play. Highly recommend this location!

No surprises and everything was great! You can see from the pics how good the view is, and the sounds of the ocean are fantastic. Other non-obvious pluses that reviewers don’t mention as much are an ice maker that really makes a lot fast!, grass mats, boogies boards and a small igloo cooler for use, and luggage carts in the lobby, and super fast elevators. Loved it. I would not hesitate to book again.

The inside of the Condo is 100% private. The view from inside and out is awesome (literally). We saw at least 20 groups of whales and many turtles. On a calm day I snorkeled all the way out to the reef and, as long as you remain on the shore side (east) of the reef, the waves can't push you into any trouble. We visited beaches up and down the coast and walked the boards. But we also spent a lot of time in the Condo because it was so relaxing -open air, no need for closed up AC! We bought take-out meals and brought them back to the room. Why eat at a restaurant when we have the best view possible?

Gonna be short and sweet!
This unit is amazing, great view, well appointed, the bed is fantastic, one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in aside from our own. We would love to come back and stay again.
If you can get it - do it! You will not regret it.

This place is adorable, perfectly decorated, very well stocked and clean. Host provided beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, & the kitchen and bathroom were both well stocked with necessities. The balcony was out favorite spot. It was so close to the water/beach. We saw whales, sea turtles., & rainbows every day. The hosts Joe and Danielle were so accommodating & always replied to my questions quickly. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! So thankful we chose this location. Our favorite thing was the lanai. The view was incredible - occasionally saw turtles swimming in the water below our lanai. Watched whales out in the channel every morning. Sunset views were spectacular! Simple studio condo…a little updating is probably due, but didn’t detract from our stay at all! It was the perfect size for two people and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay - even a table big
enough to work a jigsaw puzzle on a rainy day. Slept every night with only the screen door closed, to the sound of ocean waves. Herb was very responsive to any and all needs we had and was so kind to offer suggestions for our stay. If we ever get to come back, we would choose to stay here again for sure!

Fantastic location and views right on ocean. If you want to do whale watching this is the area to be in. Every morning you can watch the whales from your balcony while eating breakfast. We also had a monk seal and a turtle rest on the beach just to the left of our balcony. We enjoyed the stay so very much.

The condo was cleaner than I expected from the reviews. The view was incredible, just like in the photos. We saw lots of whales. We ate out on the lanai most of the time and drank our coffee out there in the morning. The sound of the waves was heavenly. I imagine it would get stuffy in summer without air conditioning. There is a box fan to help with airflow. Really basic kitchen supplies. Only had salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning stocked in the kitchen. I left some olive oil and Basalmic vinegar behind in hopes it would help others. I think a cookie sheet would be a nice addition for the kitchen and I agree with another review that new lampshades would really perk the place up. I vacuumed the ceiling because there was lint hanging from it. It only took a few minutes. The vacuum is in the closet. It definitely made the place feel nicer once that was done. All in all, I thought it was a tremendous value. I wasn't looking for anything fancy though.

We picked this property based on the views and we were not disappointed.
The furnishings are a bit dated but we spent little time in the unit and when we did it was mostly sleeping or sitting on the lanai enjoying the amazing views. My biggest criticism is that the stove could use an update, I gave up on the preheat after 20 minutes and just used the microwave. You can see both Lana’i and Molokai from the unit. The sunsets are truly beautiful. There is a nice pool area but we spent most of our outside time down on the beach soaking in the sun and watching the endless waves roll in.
We were blessed by Maui and got to see whales from our lanai and the last full day of our stay a Hawaiian Monk Seal decided to take a nap on the beach. And then on our last morning a momma humpback whale and her calf were playing and we could easily see them from the lanai, we were gifted with many synchronized breeches from them and the calf kept going after momma got tired. Such a sight to behold!
I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend coming during whale season. We had so many amazing adventures and I know we only cracked the surface of what Maui has to offer.
Mahalo for an amazing stay!

We really enjoyed this property. The view from the lanai was amazing. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach was incredible. The property was just as advertised. We would certainly rent this property again!!

We normally don’t stay in our room much when we visit! However the weather was horrible! Lots of strong wind and rain. So with that being said, the view is spectacular but the overall experience in the room was average.
The sofa was hard and smelled stinky. Could use a deep cleaning.
The bathroom toilet was very little low with low water pressure. Very strong urine smell also even after flushing.
The kitchen has very basic utensils but has most appliances. Dish soap and sponge wax provided.
The room is a studio with a Murphy bed that wasn’t the most comfy but ok. I will say the room was stocked well with linens and towels and the closet had chairs, umbrella and cooler. There are 2 sets of fins 10-12 men’s and 5-7 female and 2 full faced masks.
I wouldn’t book again but overall it was ok but definitely not a 5 star.
