The pros: This apartment was right on Polo Beach and the lanai has a great view over the beach and toward the Northern side of Maui. We loved eating out on the lanai and the convenience of just going downstairs to get to the beach. We saw turtles swimming just off the beach while we were sitting on the lanai and enjoyed people watching and seeing the sunsets out there. Amazing. Access to the 3 mile Wailea walking path was just at the end of the parking lot out front- also very convenient. The pool was nice and my sons enjoyed playing in it when it was windy at the beach. In general this apartment had everything we needed for our stay, including beach chairs and beach towels. We didn't really cook but the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfasts. In unit laundry was great. Parking was easy and laid back. We appreciated the separation between the bedroom with twin beds and the master bedroom. On the negative side: The apartment is really in need of some updating and some general upkeep like fresh paint and patching of holes in the walls. The backsplash in the kitchen was rusting out. Grout in the bathrooms had seen better days. The hardware around the lanai was corroded. The indoor seating was stained and worn. Not much lighting the bedrooms and some in the kids room didn't work. For some reason the air conditioning was much more powerful in the twin bedroom than the master and my kids were cold and used all the blankets in the apartment, while my husband and I were hot. None of that interfered with our enjoyment of Hawaii of course but for the price you might expect some of that to be taken care of. We were warned there was construction in the building which turned out to mean there was tile replacement happening on floors above us so very loud jackhammering and banging between 9am-3pm. Not a big deal if you're headed to the beach but something to be aware of. There were often scraps of broken tile that had fallen from the upper floors onto our floor so we were careful to wear shoes at all times. The check in was very easy though I found it confusing as the info had come in my email when I booked 5 months before our stay. The info was not available on the Vrbo app as I have experienced with previous rentals. Some of the check in/check out info was contradictory (checkin at 3pm or 4pm?) There was not much info in the book in the apartment either, just rules. In sum: Great view, convenient, good for families. Needs an update.

Great view wonderful location

The location can NOT be beat! You literally sit on the ocean and the balcony is secluded from others so it feels like you are in your own world! There are beach chairs and umbrellas that are provided which is a nice touch. It would have been awesome if a boogie board or two was available as well. The kids would have enjoyed that! The unit itself is nice. The furniture is subpar and could use replacing but all in all, we enjoyed our time. We didn’t come to Maui to sit inside so it wasn’t that big of a deal. The fact that there was a full kitchen and laundry in the unit made this mama so happy! Going home with all clean clothes :). We will be back!

This was my first rental and my experience was above expectation! The property was perfect for our needs. The private beach access was a huge plus. Beautiful sunset views from the lanai. The host is easy to deal with. We would definitely re-book this property.

You are on the beach. Very quiet location. Pool and hot tub were nice. Booked last minute and owner was easy to work with. Could use some updating, but expected this from other reviews. Has everything you could need for a perfect, peaceful gateway.

This is a nice condo in a great location with awesome views. It could really use some updating but we knew this based on the pictures in the listing, so I didn't deduct any points for that. We did have an issue with the TV not working in the master bedroom and could never could get through to Island Gophers, the property managers, their line was constantly busy. Eventually we were able to get ahold of the owners who said they would get in touch with Island Gophers. We never heard from anyone after that and the problem was never resolved, so we went without TV in the master for the rest of the week. Fortunately this wasn't a real emergency. Had we had a problem that really required maintenance I think we'd have been in trouble.

We have stayed at several locations in the Wailea area, and this was by far the best spot. This condo is located in the Polo Beach Club, which is one of the older buildings (or maybe the oldest?) at the end of the road of mega-resorts. We're not mega-resort kind of people, so the Polo Beach Club was a perfect fit for us. It had a large hot tub and a nice pool, ordinary by mega-resort standards but my teens loved it because it had an actual deep end. Otherwise, the beach was *right there*, just steps from the building. The beach almost feels private, as the mega-resorts have their own beaches and the people tend to stay there. If you cross over to the neighboring beach, you can access a beautiful 2 mile long path that takes you along the ocean, in front of the mega-resorts, and even to a mall that has a great ice cream spot. The condo itself was ordinary, and I agree with previous posters that one of the armchairs could use a good cleaning. That said, everything else in the condo was clean and completely functional. I spent most of my indoor time on the patio anyway, which had comfortable furniture and the most amazing ocean view. We were there in whale season, and we saw whales constantly! The only real downside to this condo is that the kitchen is extremely small. It has all the things you need for cooking, but it is literally a one-person kitchen. This got a little tricky for our family of five, but it wasn't a huge deal as we were keeping meals as simple as possible. The condo came well-equipped with boogie boards, chairs, beach towels and beach umbrellas. The management was super responsive when I asked for bedding for the pull-out sofa and extra beach towels. I look forward to staying in the condo again in the future!!

Location was great for us. Great views, we saw whales jumping almost every day. Went snorkeling right off the beach and saw plenty of turtles, an octopus, eels, and many colorful fish. Also had plenty of fun playing in the waves.

Nice condo best location!

Location can’t be beat. Outdoor space with full ocean view is fabulous.

Great location. Awesome views terrific beach. Centrally located and one of the only properties this close to the sand. We had an issue with the AC yet it was handled immediately with ease and professionalism. Highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. We would like to come back again.

We loved this location! After staying in Lahaina for a week, we decided to extend our vacation by two days and spend the remaining time in beautiful Wailea! The condo was perfect and very comfortable. The views from the lanai were simply stunning! We saw more whales from the lanai than we did on the whale watching excursion we went on while in Lahaina. It was amazing to sit out there and sip a cool drink while watching several whale beaches. The water was a little rough due to the high winds on our first day, but the second day it was perfect. The beach had powdery soft sand, and the water was crystal clear once you got to about waist deep away from shore where the gentle waves were stirring up the sand. Snorkeling out past the rocks on the left side of the beach was awesome. Lots of beautiful coral reef and fish to see. There is more coral further out, but I would only recommend venturing that far if you are and experienced snorkeler and a competent swimmer. The undercurrent was not bad when we snorkeled out there, but it was still a little taxing to swim back to shore. Flippers are a definite must! This was our third trip to Maui in the last six years, but our first time staying in Wailea. Even though we had a short time here, it was enough to convince us to make Wailea our intended destination on our future trips! We will most certainly be back to the Polo Beach Club with it's great location and accommodating owners! Mahalo!

Beautiful and outstanding property! We had convenient parking, an incredible view of humpback whales from our balcony, and it was truly a great experience. We will definitely come back next time we visit Maui again.

This property has a fabulous location... Right on the beach and close to great restaurants. The home is clean and spacious and has amazing views. Very convenient for exploring all that Maui has to offer.
