Angela and Michael, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here in Lahaina at your condo. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was great being so close to downtown Lahaina. We walked downtown almost every night for dinner. The Baby Beach was such an amazing beach for us and our 18 month old son, Jackson. We appreciate all of the family friendly amenities. We will be back for sure. Thanks!

Angela & Michael, Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo with us! The location was wonderful, the family friendly amenities were very helpful and the second bedroom meant our 21 month old daughter could get some sleep without being awaken. Thanks especially for the stroller, beach chairs and beach toys - they came in handy for the near daily trips to Baby Beach. Mahalo!

The Perfect Place to For Us & Our Toddler

Guest: John P. (Richmond, Virginia)
Date of Stay: 02/24/12 Review Submitted: 03/08/12

My wife and I stayed here with our almost 2 year old daughter and it was a great spot for us. We rented the 2 bedroom so that our daughter had a dedicated room, which was a wise decision because it made naps and night time sleep much better for all of us! Plus, the pack-n-play crib, umbrella stroller and beach toys were lifesavers - it was a blessing to not have to haul those things from the mainland! We also enjoyed how close we were to downtown Lahaina, which allowed us to walk to nearly every meal. We could walk to Baby Beach, but it was a bit of hike with chairs and the beach bag so we ended up driving most times. It was our most visited spot all week - perfect for us and our daughter! The pools and cabanas were also beautiful, though with nothing shallower than 3 ft it wasn't the most toddler-friendly environment. Luckily our daughter enjoyed just splashing around the edge of the infinity pool. All in all, I don't think we could've picked a better spot to stay in on the island!

Owner response:Aloha John and Family, Thank you again for choosing to spend your holiday with us. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed all of the family-friendly amenities and the trips to Baby Beach! That's one of our family favorites as well. I understand the pool issue with toddlers, too. We try to always have some floaties available in the unit for the little ones to venture into the middle of the pool. We hope to host you again in the future! Mahalo, -Angie & Mike

Perfect Condo for my Family! Ideal Location and Angie is so responsive!

Guest: Cyndi (Falls Church, VA)
Date of Stay: 12/23/11 Review Submitted: 01/02/12

My husband, 9 and 6 yr old stayed here for 1 week and we could not be happier with the situation! Angie is extremely responsive throughout the entire process for any questions, requests, etc... The condo is really clean, modern, well set-up, very roomy, with a well-equipped kitchen. The kitchen also had some of the basics stocked (salt, pepper, paper towels, coffee filters) so we didn't have to buy them. The washer/dryer was very helpful and made it possible for us to pack lightly. Beach towels, 4 chairs, 2 boogie boards, lunch cooler, noodles, and a beach umbrella are provided and we used them everyday- what a nice bonus!!! The location is excellent- we were able to walk to Lahaina with ease and not worry about driving and finding parking. Angie has negotiated parking rates with nearby lots, but my husband had no trouble finding street parking everyday and we were there during the Christmas holiday. The condo is easy to find and the accessing the condo late at night was really easy through the lockbox. There is a small pool and there, you can access wifi, although, I found it to be a bit spotty. The grounds are really nicely kept. Thank you, Angie, for your hospitality and your beautiful condo- we will definitely come back!

Owner response:Aloha Cynthia and Family, Thank you for spending your holiday season with us in Maui -it was a pleasure to meet all of you! I apologize for the spotty wifi at the small pool - it is also available at the large pool, pavilion and at the front lobby for free. We also offer wifi in the unit for a nominal fee. Looking forward to hosting your next stay! Mahalo and Mele Kalikimaka! The Leone Ohana

October 25th-31st, 2011 Birthday Vacation

Guest: Christian and Sarah (Las Vegas, NV, USA)
Date of Stay: 10/25/11 Review Submitted: 11/12/11

My girlfriend and I rented this thoughtfully appointed condo for a week, just recently. To begin with, the owners of this condo were beyond hospitable and very detailed in their correspondence with me. They provided amazingly detailed information for activities, restaurant options, and Travel FAQ's. Upon arrival, the condo was spotless and very inviting. The details are what made this unit. A fully furnished 2 bedrooms, kitchen and "activity annex" made us feel great about renting a condo versus a hotel room. My girlfriend surprised me with an overnight stay in a neighboring beach community called Wailea and we utilized the beach equipment the owners' of the condo supplied for us, which was a very nice touch. We loved the beach towels, umbrella, chairs and cooler. With Aina Nalu only 1 block off of the main street in Lahaina (Front Street), we easily accessed the best of the best without driving our rental car. I suggest you take the hosts' advice regarding restaurants, particularly I'O and Mala, which we frequented both twice during our stay. We cooked breakfast everyday in the condo as a great start to our day and enjoyed the updated fully sized refrigerator, which most other units within the resort do not have. Definitely stop by Costco as soon as you leave the airport in Kahului per the owners' advice. In short, we will rent again from the owners of this condo based mainly on their hospitality, but also their gorgeous condo.

We were able to enjoy a beautiful day at the beach ending with dinner and sunset in West Maui. We loved being able to walk into Lahaina to explore and have great morning goodies at the espresso cafe. We will recommend your condo to anyone coming to Maui. Our 3 teenage boys loved the apartment and Lahaina! Thank you! Let us know if you get to Connecticut!

Our 4 kids enjoyed all your beach gear from the boogie boards to sand buckets, and chairs all were a great thing to have. Our 3 year old son loved the pool and all the toys during our down time. This is a great location. We love the little town and all the little shops. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Aloha, we stayed at the Aina Nalu condo for a family vacation in July. We had such a great time and the condo had everything we needed! We had extended family who stayed in other condo's at Aina Nalu and everyone loved that we had a full size refridgerator to store all those leftovers. It was so relaxing to lay in the cabana's by the pool and BBQ. We loved that we were walking distance to everything, I think we visited every ice cream shop in Lahaina! I have already decided when I re-visit Maui this is my #1 choice to stay! Mahalo

Date of Stay: 04/17/11 Review Submitted: 05/02/11

When we first arrived in Lahaina, we wondered if we'd made the right choice by being "in the city" with our two small children (3 yrs and 9 months). We quickly decided that we had - the condo was the perfect jumping off point for EVERYTHING in Maui. We were able to walk to fantastic restaurants, stroll the shops, and then make the beautiful 5 minute drive to all of the AMAZING beaches in West Maui. It was also great having the incredible swimming pools at the condo to go to during our 'break time' away from the beach and hot sun. The hosts were awesome from the start - replying instantly to our emails and questions, and even renting us their fabulous bike trailer/stroller for our two kids (which made a huge difference and we were so glad we borrowed it). We didn't need to bring anything from home, except for our clothing and hats, which - having two kids - really made our vacation special. And also, on our last day, our poor baby was sick and so our hosts allowed us to delay our check-out so that he could have a nice, long nap in the condo before our long flight home. Awesome! PS - spring for the $100 and buy a parking pass for the condo. It was worth it to not have to look for street parking everyday!
