  Wow - what an experience ! This was our first time renting through VRBO. Everything about the condo was just as the web site said - the pictures and description were 100% accurate. Staying by the harbor was really convenient as we took two excursions from the harbor during our stay. The condo is only 15 minutes from the airport, and is centrally located to all of the towns around the island that we visited. you can basically get anywhere in just about 20 minutes (other that Hana or the volcano) New Weber grills by the pool were great for cooking on, fully stocked kitchen, very clean condo - great location and quiet. We're already planning a trip for next year and will stay at this same property - the owners were really easy to work with ! Thanks so much for opening your home to us for our vacation !!

  I have absolutely nothing bad to say about beautiful Aurora Sands! We arrived to a lovely 2 bdrm/2 bath totally immaculate condo. Beds were comfortable, beautiful bathrooms with huge showers, very well equipped kitchen, good sized flat screen TV, even an ipod dock! From my first contact with the owners I knew it was going to be a great vacation as they were very accomodating and answered all of our questions quickly - even helped us find a place to stay a few extra nights as Aurora Sands was not available for our whole trip. We saw whales from the Lanai which was an added bonus. The area is very quiet and peaceful. The wharf is within walking distance with five available restaurants. We tried all of them and never had a bad meal. Also enjoyed the craft market there and of course the Aquarium was fantastic. Hopefully one day we will return to Maui and we will definitely stay here again.

  This was our first trip to Maui. A friend had stayed in this condo and loved it so we were comforted in knowing someone who had stayed there. The owners are lovely to deal with and the condo rental went smoothly. Instructions were well communicated and they provided answers to all our questions without hesistation. The condo unit is beautiful, has amazing bathrooms and is a clean, well decorated unit. Beautiful Lanai for relaxing and enjoying the view. Had all the amenities required and a beautiful view! The pool is well kept and had brand new bbq's for use. Located in central Maui, it's ideally located for any excursion you have planned. Easy drive to Lahaina, or Costco/Airport, or Kihei. We loved Big Beach and Kanapalea Beach(although hard to find parking there!) Aqua Adventure provided a fun snorkeling excursion even stopping for some amazing whale watching! Having the Harbour so close was a nice walk if you wanted to get some fresh air. Although Maalea is one of the windiest locations, it provides a refreshing breeze on those hot days. As we were a big group we rented 2 condos in the building, both on the main floor and were very happy with them. Definitely would recommend it!

  We had a great experience staying the Condo. Everyday morning you wake up to the waves crashing on the shore. The condo is very well maintained and personally we loved the telescope in the room. Meera and Marilyn were very nice and accommodating. I was here to celebrate my wife's bday and the ideas given by these folks helped me a lot as I was new to place. I recommend this place to anyone coming to this island for the first time. We are sure we are going to come back soon.

  The condo was decorated beautifully with a blend of Hawaii and my other love, Alaska. The view was as good as it gets. We had our morning coffee on the small beach. The beach was safe for children as well as adults. My husband enjoyed snorkeling off the beach. In the evenings we'd watch turtles and rays swimming by. We were very happy in this condo. All pictures were accurate but in person much nicer. We could live there full time and never return to the real world!!!

  Owner response: We are so glad that you enjoyed our condo as much as we do. Come back and visit us again! A hui hou! Meera and Marilyn

  Great location to travel to all parts of the island and gorgeous view of the ocean. Many good restaurants within walking distances of unit. Loved the Macadamia nut Sticky buns at General Store. The unit itself had great comfortable bed and all the amenities you could ask for. Owners very accommodating as well! Hope to revisit very soon.

  This is an awesome place for a any occassion where you want to relax and have fun. The owners even had ice chest, beach chairs and beach umbrellas..even boogies boards and some snorkels for kids. All of these items were a BIG plus..! This condo is located near resturants such as Beach Bums, which was excellent. The view of the bay/ocean is fantastic. Eating breakfast on the patio every morning. Cooking meals was really easy in this condo..everything you need his here..It felt like a home away from home. Honestly it was perfect! I love the location of the condo.. one way to Lahaina and the other to Kehei..many great beaches on the way and beyond. My wife and I hope to travel back to this paradise!!! Thanks for making our honeymoon memorable.

  Hello We enjoyed our stay in Maui and the condo was clean, well equipped and completely fit our needs. It is conveniently located to the marina, aquarium, store and the mini golf playground plus a couple of restaurants and pub. We especially enjoyed the Beach Bum's Pub where we went quite often as the food and service was excellent. However due to renovations in one of the other condos plus a couple of inconsiderate neighbors with children it was often quite noisy as the renos started early and the children would be outside yelling as early as 6:00 am. As this complex was listed with quiet time between the hours of 10:00 pm to 8:00 am it was dissappointing to be disturbed so early while on vacation. That is of course no fault of the owners, just people who do not follow the common courtesies. Other than the ceiling fan not working in the main bathroom the condo was everything we could have hoped for as we were quite comfortable there. Thank you to the owners for providing such a lovely place to stay. My favorite part of the condo is the beautifuly tiled shower and the wonderful moose statue in the kitchen!
