Great view and location. Sadly the screens on the windows were broken and letting in bugs. We would find them in the bedroom and living room. Also the air conditioning system is in the living room so the cooler air doesn’t reach the bedroom.

Great location, away from the people and car/motorcycle noise. Beautiful view of the water. We loved sitting out on the balcony, enjoying some wine and listening to the waves.

My fiancée and I stayed here for 4 days and we really enjoyed the place. The view is amazing and you will never get tired of it looking at it any time of the day. The place was super clean, check in instructions were clear and easy, and everything you need from cleaning supplies to beach chairs are provided. Super awesome place and host seemed thoughtful because of everything that was provided. Highly recommend!

Overall the condo perfectly met my needs. It was well stocked and clean. It could use a little deep cleaning, but so can my house.
The AC kept the condo cool enough for March temperatures, but in summer it might be difficult to cool the entire unit comfortably for some people.
The location was ideal for me and the excursions I had planned. It was easy to drive into Kihei and Paia for meals, shopping and to start the Road to Hana trip or the drive to Haleakala summit. A few of my favorite places to eat were Kihei Cafe, Paia Fish Market, Three’s Bar and Grill, Seascapes there in Maalaea Harbor, Monkeypod, Kihei Food trucks, Huli Huli Chicken at Koki Beach, Moose McGillicuddy's and Hana Farms.
The real star of this condo is the view. It is absolutely amazing. During whale season you can see whales breaching and smacking their fins on the water all throughout the harbor. Be sure to bring binoculars and definitely plan to do the whale tour with PackWhale Foundation in Maalaea Harbor.

We had an amazing week staying in this beautiful condo. The location was very central and easy to reach from the airport. Walking access to many amenities and the ocean center. The host Michelle is very helpful and responsive to any questions. Looking forward to returning.

Great property on the harbor. Came to see the whales at Maui and they did not disappoint. Loved watching them in the harbor. Condo is walking distance to whale and snorkeling tours, aquarium, restaurants, and shops. The central location on the island is perfect. It is a quiet area but close to everything. The condo was well equipped and had beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, and towels. Lovely condo and owners just a text away.

This condo worked for what we needed. We loved the location and took the short drive to Kihei/Wailea many many times. The condo itself has been updated and the view of Haleakala to the east and Maalaea Bay was gorgeous off our private balcony. Unfortunately, the condo needed a thorough deep clean. There was significant amount of dirt on the walls and the cabinet faces and cabinets themselves were filthy. We didn't notice at first, but it seemed as though between guests they only do a brief, surface clean.
Overall, we did enjoy this condo, the view, and the updates that have been done to it; although would have appreciated it being slightly cleaner
5.0
We had a great stay, very comfortable and relaxing. The location was great, in a less crowded area but easily accessible to most parts of the island. The condo was quiet and plenty of room for two people. The lanai had a great view of the water and had plenty of space. The pool was nice as well. The owner was very responsive when we had a broken hair dryer, which was dealt with the sane day. The only minor issue was the air conditioning, which is a small unit in the main room. It is an old unit and doesn't really help with the bedroom...on hot days, it could be a bit uncomfortable. Overall, however, i would highly recommend this condo for a nice Maui stay.

Perfectly clean unit! Just like the pictures, lovely view from the balcony, updated decor! Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking appliances (coffee pot, blender, pots and pans, etc).
The bed was comfortable (pullout couch not so much!).
AC unit worked, but was struggling a bit and very loud. We ended up keeping the curtains closed for the afternoons and whenever we were out of the condo to help keep it cooler.
Location is wonderful! Quiet area with a dead end street. The condo units do not have a beach, it is all rock, except for a small sand stretch surrounded by rocks where the sea turtles come to the beach at night. This was really cool to see, at least 15 turtles came up every night to rest there.
Condo is within a 5 minute walk to a gorgeous public beach, Haycraft Park, that was so nice, huge, and not a bunch of people. Also a 5 minute walk to the Maui Aquarium, which was great for our last day.
Pool and hot tub are small but clean...but a heads up for those with kids. The hours are from 9AM to 9PM, and no jumping, no games, etc allowed in the pool at all.
Would absolutely stay here again!

small but comfortable.
Not on beach but very close.
gorgeous view
4.0
The listing was very accurate concerning the view, it really was stunning. Condos are well maintained for the most part especially for being older, no complaints there.
I feel like the condo was represented well in the photos, it’s small but it was equipped with what we needed. The beach chairs, umbrella, towels and coolers were perfect!
We wanted a quiet location away from the touristy stuff and this was perfect. Tante’s was a great restaurant perfect for feeding our tired and hungry selves upon arrival. Very close by.
This may or may not matter to you but it technically comes with A/C and the living room stays ok for the most part but it does not reach the bedroom which was problematic for sleep. We could not find a way to open the windows and the fans offered little assistance.
Do not do laundry at night, it heated the place up like an oven. The washer was also having fits starting and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get my couple of loads done.
The living room fan and TV turned off for no apparent reason and it took almost an hour to get them back. Seemed like a short maybe, we tried reaching out to host but never got a response, ever…
Overall it was fine for us because we are hardly ever at our unit when we travel. Biggest reason to stay…the view. Biggest reason not to stay, AC doesn’t reach bedroom.

This is a great condo at a midpoint between Kihei and Lahaina which made it easy to get to either town. There is a nice beach just a few minutes walk down the road. Plenty of activities nearby such as the aquarium and mini golf. And not to mention a spectacular view of the ocean from the room!
4.0
We enjoyed staying at the property. Great view. The condo was very well equipped. The only issue was that when we arrived the room was not prepared., Sheets and towels were in the washer and dryer. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned including the shower. Disappointed after a 13 hr journey and arriving late a 11pm. We cleaned the place in the morning and notified the property Manager who responded quickly and apologetically and advised cleaning person had an emergency day before and couldn’t clean the place. Property Manager reimbursed the cleaning fee and provided a 50.00 credit. Cleaning person was sent right away.

Unit is lovely. Quiet, clean and everyone is so warm. The unit does not have extras, like guidebooks, boogie boards, shampoo. We have been to Maui before, so welcoming package not as necessary

My husband and I loved this property. It was in a quieter neighborhood of the island, but only took 10-20 minutes to get into the next town. The views were phenomenal. The condo was stocked with everything you need for the beach - towels, chairs, coolers and even a big umbrella.
5.0
This location was ideal for touring the island. It also had everything we needed and having the turtles to watch every evening was outstanding!
5.0
We chose to stay here based on the ocean, front view, and proximity to the other parts of the island we wanted to explore. Space was very clean and comfortable, with the beautiful ocean view right off the balcony. We were really happy with the location, as we traveled to all parts of Maui.

This condo was just what we were looking for! All the necessities for spending the day at the beach and great views from the lanai for morning coffee! The whales and turtles were fun to watch!
5.0
The property was wonderful, just as pictures show. We loved watching the whales in the morning as the sun was rising. We had a great time, easy access to everything. The area is quiet with plenty of parking. We felt safe, no issues at all. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.

The condo is everything it’s advertised to be, super cute and has a great ocean view where we could watch sooo many whales from the lanai.

Nice location. Would be nice if there was a clock in the condo. The microwave does not keep accurate time.
A few more pot lids would be nice.
Thanks

The property was just what I was looking for...a lovely place to watch whales right from our lanai. It was very nicely decorated and furnished and very well equipped.I appreciated that it was in a peaceful area, away from the crowded cities and congested tourist areas. The location was ideallly located in the middle of the island, just right for exploring in either direction. We'd love to stay here again!

The view is breathtaking from the back balcony. Awesome for whale watching! Condo was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Had an amazing stay, thank you for sharing your wonderful condo. The third floor balcony provided a fabulous view of the bay...morning sunrises were amazing! The condo was well equipped with everything we needed including coolers for that roadtrip to Hana, beach chairs/ and umbrellas for beach days, nothing left unthought of. Would love to stay again in the future.

My 16 year old daughter and I stayed here for a week. I can not say enough about the property. It was super clean, well located, quiet, easy to get into and comfortable. The owner had so many things that a hotel would not have. I totally give it 5 stars. The only improvements that would make our stay better are a nice bigger coffee cups, and room darkening shades on the balcony I had trouble sleeping on the sofa bed because there are bright lights outside that I could not block out.
5.0
The unit is furnished with great taste e it's super well equipped with everything you could need for you stay.
The location is perfect if you want to explore the island staying in a single place (as we did for the 5 days of our stay).
The shoreline in front of the condo is not so suitable for swimming, but you can see many (many !) sea turtles just close to the bbq area or at the tiny beach at west side of the property.
Pool and hot tub are nice and enjoyable.

This was the first time my husband and I have ever really taken a vacation. The first time I’ve ever been to Maui. The condo was amazing. The location was perfect! Can’t wait to come back again next year!

Excellent stay!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It had everything you may need to cook and live comfortably. The location was quiet and about a 20 min drive to restaurants. Overall, we had a great stay!

A modern well equipped condo but you need a car.
The condo was very clean and extremely well equipped with kitchen utensils as well as beach gear. The beach is a short walk away, but it is not among the nicest beaches. The sand at the entrance has some large rocks and it drops off fast. Not good for snorkeling. The best beaches (there are many) are about 10 miles away in Kihei. The Maui Ocean Center and all the boat tours that leave from Ma'alaea Harbor are walking distance from the condo. You will need a car to stay here because the closest food store is a few miles away. There is only one restaurant nearby that serves both lunch and dinner. It is not fancy, but be sure you have a reservation.

Just perfect!
Location is perfect. Views are perfect. Steps away from the beach. Communication with property manager was great. Condo is fully equipped with all that we needed including beach chairs. You will love staying here for your vacation. If we visit Maui again we’ll definitely be booking again.

Return trip to Maui-Retirement Treat
The common property was a little dated-but kept up very well! The parking lot needs repaved, but pool area was very well kept. We loved the 1/4 mile walk to beach and walk ability to harbor restaurants! We took advantage of our central location and enjoyed both Lahaina and Wailea. The condo itself was perfect for us! It was just like the picture! The view beautiful and decor modern and clean feeling ! Very nice washer & dryer.
