Driving into the parking lot we caught our first glimpse of our 'home away from home' and we started smiling. Opening the front door and seeing this beautiful unit and the incredible view turned our smiles into whoops of pure glee. We were living the high life and loving every minute of it! The home itself is tastefully and comfortably decorated; we instantly felt at home and the 5 of us settled in for our 9 day stay. We spent a good amount of our time sitting on the lanai and watching sunrises, passing rain storms, rainbows, WHALES (lots), the everchanging faces of Lanai and Molokai and beautiful sunsets. A nice little beach is just a few steps from the house and we enjoyed using the unit's beach equipment in the ocean. The property is well taken care of and the plants and flowers are perfectly Hawaiian. Having a washer/dryer was a plus. The kitchen is well stocked and all you need to do is go to the grocery store. Thanks to the owner, Ann, we learned that Safeway in Lahaina Cannery Center has the best prices. If you have a store card the savings are great. We used our Vons Card as we live in So. Cal. Speaking of Ann; she is a gem! Her friendly 'Welcome Call' was great and gave us a chance to ask a few questions about restaurants/shopping. She made sure everything was perfect, and it was. Mahalo Ann! It is a quick drive into Lahaina. For a great beach day try DT Fleming Beach Park just past entrance to Kapalua. It's a beautiful beach with lots of sand and gentle surf. We saw turtles at the rocky end of the beach. The Ritz-Carlton beach cafe is at the other end and serves a yummy lunch. Our lasting impression of 9 days in this home will be of comfort and contentment. We highly recommend this property if you're looking for a place to rejuvenate your spirits and reconnect with your companions.

Six family members, 3 couples, stayed in this condo and it was a wonderful choice of accomodations and location. Everything the owner described, pictures and description were true. We had rock star parking, it was impeccably clean upon our arrival and so comfotable during our 10 day stay. Whales galore, you hate to leave the lanai which is the most ideal on all the property. Ann sent us a great list of recommendations for the the area. We could'nt get to them all so we will return and would highly recommend this property.

This condo is very comfortable, cleanling, all equipment and tools has been prepared carefully, in fact it had everything. Perfect kitchen in the condo meant we didn't have to go out to eat if we didn't want to. The swimming pool is very cleanling, our kids very like it.Only 10 meters to beach and the sand is very soft, you can swimming, surfing, etc. If we come back to Maui in the future, we would not hesitate to book this property. Highly recommended ~ you will not be disappointed!

The property is as advertised, it is a large three bedroom, three bathroom with a large kitchen and steps to the beach. We stayed at this property for 10 days the middle of November 2011. We had enough room for our three kids and there was even a pull out couch. The pictures were very realistic and very representative. The entire property was well maintained and extremely clean. The location was great as it was a quick drive to may fabulous beaches and cities. Enjoy....

My family of six just stayed here for a week and wish it could have been longer. Large, comfortable, beautifully appointed condo. We have lived in Maui and visited many times over the years and this is by far the nicest condo we have ever stayed in. Completely stocked with everything you need, beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds! The view is AWESOME and one of the very best on the island. The beach is right in front of the condo and just sitting on the lanai was one of our favorite things to do, any time of the day. Highly recommended ~ you will not be disappointed!

From the moment we walked in the door, it felt like home. Beautifully decorated, yet we never felt like we had to be so careful as not to break something. Beautiful, yet lived in. The three bedrooms were perfect for me and my daughters. (Ages, 21, 19 and 15). My 15 year old slept on the pull out couch and said it was super comfortable. And she got the best view in the morning with the gorgeous ocean out the sliding glass door. We spent every evening on the lanai talking and laughing and watching the sunset. The location provided us easy access to everything.... great food, shopping and sightseeing. There wasn't anything that we needed and never said, "Oh, I wish this place had.... ," because it had everything. Great BBQ in the pool area meant we didn't have to go out to eat if we didn't want to. It was the perfect vacation, and the condo (although it never felt like a condo) made it perfect.

Three bedrooms, each has it's own bath. Very clean, very well maintained. Modern electrical equipment (flat TV, modern refrigerator), WiFi, iHome, partially air conditioned (rare in Hawaii). Very well equipped kitchen, all needed for a day on the beach (beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc). Leftovers from previous guests (spices) is very helpful. Nice pool. The complex has 3 BR apartments so many kids- do not expect to sleep beyond 0800. Within 5 stairs you are on a small beautiful private beach. breakfast on the lanai in front of the ocean is great. The apartment is very well furnished. It is not only minimal furniture- it is loaded with small crafts that let you feel at home.

My husband and I travelled with two other couples to Maui renting this wonderful 3 bedroom oceanfront condo in Kahana. We had a truly enjoyable and memorable vacation. The unit offers spacious accomodations with so many amenities including beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, beach toys........The kitchen had everything needed to cook a full course meal. Can't say enough about this wonderful home away from home. I would recommend this unit to my family and friends. Should I return to Maui I would not hesitate to rent this unit again. Close to shops and restaurants.......Can't say enough about this wonderful condo! Mahalo!

This property feels more like a home than a rental property. Not only was the home clean and well maintained but it was beautifully decorated. The attention to detail and quality of the surroundings surpassed our expectations. We couldn't believe how well stocked the kitchen was with every utensil and dish we could possibly need, or the vast assortment of beach supplies made available to us. A highlight of our trip was watching the whales breach, there wasn't a day that we didn't sit on the lanai and enjoy a sunset with free whale watching! Proximity to the beach was a real plus as it was only steps away and there was a tide pool a short walk down the beach that entertained our child for hours. A shopping complex is about a five minute walk away and has restaurants, shops and a fantastic coffee shop. If you're feel ambitious you can even pick mangoes from the mango tree in the parking lot! As first time VRBO renters we weren't sure what to expect but this home was just perfect. It is very reassuring to stay in a home in another country when the owner is professional and so well organized. Ann is a pleasure to correspond with and as a result we would not hesitate to book this property in the future!

My family and I have rented this condo for two years in a row and have had a wonderful time each year. The facilities are fantastic and the condo is wonderful. Each bedroom has its own bath which makes it nice. Also, the view of the lanai is the best. This year we were able to see too many whales breaching to count. We also got our full share of turtle sightings in. The central location is wonderful too. I'll be coming back next year!!
