We had 4 adults and an infant in the condo and it was great. There was everything we might need so we didn't have buy a lot of extras. The condo was so convenient to shops and restaurants. The pools were awesome. We enjoyed ourselves and are definitely planning to come back again. We highly recommend this place! Thank you for making it our home away from home!

This condo was absolutely perfect! You can tell that the owners take great pride in their condo and it is absolutely beautiful. The location is perfect -- within walking distance to everything you need. All of the "extras" in the condo made it fantastic, from the beach chairs to the snorkeling gear. They even provided laundry detergent, shampoo, and body wash. Above and beyond! The salt water pool was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this condo. I have already told friends that I have the perfect place for them to stay should they visit Lahaina. Hopefully I will be a return visitor as well. Thank you for making this another great part of our first visit to Hawaii!

The place was beautiful! Absolutely would stay again and reccommend it to my friends and family! Within walking distance to anything you need, town of lahina is cute, charming, and much better than staying in a resort area! Plan on bringing our boys with us next time!

the place was very nice, all the others review was on target, it was very clean,easy directions from the airport. One of my sister LOVE to shop and we were very close to downtown Lahaina we could walk to it from the condo. I already have had friends wanting to know about this condo. And if I can find airfare at a good price again from the Midwest we will be back

Sept 4 - 8 from Toronto, Canada. 1st time in Maui

Guest: Brenda (Toronto Canada)
Date of Stay: 09/04/11 Review Submitted: 09/23/11

This is truly a home away from home condo. The unit is stock with cooking oil, laundry soap, nail polish remover, coffee filters, sugar, salt, beach chairs, toys even novels for your reading pleasure. Larry you are an amazing host. Location is excellent , walking distance to busy front street where shops and restaurants are located. High-speed internet in this unit is a big bonus. The resort and other owners advertises free wi-fi but signal is so weak that we could not pick up anything from the pool area. All in all we are very pleased with only one minor issue- air conditioning is extremely loud but we didn't need it at night. Pools are beautifully done especially the salt water pool. Pictures just don't do justice. We only found out on our last day that there is complementary coffee at the kidney pool area. We will come back again for a longer stay next time. Thank you again Larry.

The condo was out of our expectation. We are enjoyed every single minute to be in your condo. We felt it like Home Sweet Home. We can’t say thank you enough when we found out you have a rice cooker. It saved me lot money to go out to eat with my kids since they are very picky eater. The kitchen was great. It had everything we need from chopstick to toothpick and much more……… The condo is brand new. We can sleep every night because the bed was soooooo comfortable. You won’t get that at the hotel. The staffs in the property were very nice and helpful. One night we shared our diner with one of the staff who is Larry as well. Again thank you for provide us such a beautiful place. I should call your condo Heaven place on Earth. We are highly recommending this condo to everyone. Thank you!!!

Home away from home!

Date of Stay: 04/14/11 Review Submitted: 04/24/11

This was the best condo ever! It had everything you can think of just like home. The condo was roomy and the weather was perfect. It was avg 83 degrees during the day, but at night we turned off the AC and opened the windows with the fan on and it was perfect for sleeping. This condo is only 2 blocks away from Front Street where you can shop and eat. We went to Kaanapali every day which was only 5 minutes north. There were two pools where one pool had two BBQ grills. We barbequed dinner half the time we were there. We recommend this condo to everyone! Thank you!

My family and I stayed at this property for 2 glorious weeks. All our dealings with the owner prior to our arrival were taken care of promptly and professionally. They were most helpful with any questions we had. We were given a local number to call if we should have questions, but never needed to use it. The condo is exactly as pictured! Beautifully appointed with furnishings and artwork appropriate to the area. For us, it was one criteria in choosing where we would stay. There also many extras to make your stay enjoyable. They ranged from basic staples in the cupboards, to beach chairs, towels, water toys, a cooler and frozen ice packs to shampoo and bodywash in the showers! The little extras all made the unit so very enjoyable! Loved having a washer and dryer...so much less to have to pack! The location within the complex is also very nice...both pools were easily accessible and used often. It was nice the have BBQ's onsite as well. The grounds were immacutaley kept. Although there was a charge for parking, we willingly paid it. It was well worth the price for us to not have to worry about finding street parking all the time, having our vehicle close to load and unload for beach trips and groceries, and to know that there was security on patrol. Since our stay was over spring break, we did have the opportunity to contact security one evening to deal with a loud party below us. They dealt with the matter most promptly. The Aina Nalu's location in Lahina is perfect. Far enough away from Front street to feel like you are in a quiet resort, yet close enough to walk a couple of blocks and be right in the action! We quickly found many favorite places to eat, and shop! It was so nice to be able to walk to Front street whenever the mood struck, and then be back at the condo quickly when we became tired. We had a teenager with us who greatly appreciated having the internet in the unit as well as at the pool! The worst part of our trip was having to leave! We are already making plans for a return visit to this slice of paradise...Mahalo to Larry and his family for making their condo available to rent! Our family has many wonderful memories of our trip and hope to be back soon to make many more!

Second stay here

We loved our first stay at this condo so much we came back six months later. Everything was just as wonderful as our first stay. I highly recommend staying here. The layout is great for privacy with the bedrooms at opposite ends of the condo.Very clean and comfortable. All kinds of nice little extras to make you feel at home. When we come back to Maui, this will be the place we stay. The owners are very nice and know how to make you feel welcome. Lahaina is a wonderful town with many wonderful shops and restaurants within walking distance. And the sunsets are the best.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this beautiful condo. I'm sure we will return to Maui and we will definitely stay here again. Wonderful little extras that we didn't expect that really made it feel like home. Also very clean. Beds were very comfortable. It really is as nice as the pictures. I highly recommend this place for your Maui vacation. Lahaina was beautiful, and it was wonderful being within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and the ocean. Great snorkeling just a short 10 minute drive. Owners are very nice and easy to work with.

Stayed here for 5 nights in the summer of 2010 with another couple. Pictures are very accurate. Looks great, very clean, and close to everything. The outfitted kitchen is a bonus. Have already recommended it to friends.

for a wonderful getaway. The condo was so well equipped, with big comfy beds, three tv's, fluffy towels, even shampoo and conditioner ! The location was close to everything, movies, the beach, restaurants, market, and more shopping than you could imagine. I spent a lot of time at the salt water pool, and after baking in the hot sun I loved to sit and read in the big cabana, with the wonderful hawaiian music, it mellowed you right out. What a life!! The employees were so nice, and I loved that they arranged all of my excursions, (while at the pool.) I definitely will stay again and again. Thank you for making my stay so enjoyable and effortless. I really didn't want to leave.

We just got back from a fabulous week-long stay at this condo, and it was perfect for my husband, me, and our 2.5 year old little boy. They provided everything we needed - including toys for both the house and the beach! (So nice not to have to pack those.) The Aina Nalu facility was beautiful, and we especially loved the saltwater pool. The location was perfect: a short stroll onto Front Street in Lahaina, and a short drive to many fabulous west Maui beaches. Thank you Larry, Christy and Johnathan!

My husband Jeff and I stayed here in October 2008 and for the second time from June 24 to July 4 when we were in Maui for our wedding. The condo was excellent on both trips - super close to everything in Lahaina town, and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, relax or play at the beach. Many of our wedding guests also stayed at Aina Nalu, and everyone was blown away by how new and beautiful the condos and the grounds are. Loved the pools, bbqs and the balinese-style gazebos. Huge thanks to Christy, Larry and Martha for all your help with our preparations! We will be back! Jeff & Laura Cleary

This condo is located in a perfect setting. One is able to walk to the beach, many shops & restaurants in Lahaina or drive within 30 mins to several other great beaches. The property of the condo had a superb infinitity pool and also a 2nd pool. The grounds were well groomed, clean & the workers pleasant. The condo, itself, was generously equipped (even with snorkel gear) & tastefully decorated. The owners were very attentive to details and our personal needs. They were cheerful & helpful! I was so pleased to have had our first Hawaii vacation at this 'home away from home'! It is quite the find ( :

Aloha, Just wanted to say hi and tell you how much we enjoyed staying at your condo. We definitely want to return soon and stay there again! The condo was beautiful and very comfortable. We loved having the pool and grill. We used the grill a few times and it was amazing. The condo beds were more comfortable than our beds at home, we didn't want to leave. It was a very relaxing vacation and we really enjoyed staying there. When we come back to Maui we will definately be staying in your condo. Thanks again! -Whitney and Garrett
