Having a place with the amenities of this unit has is quite easy to recommend. We have used the pool, BBQ, kitchen that lacks nothing, ground floor access, the parking, the great Lanai and wonderful furnishings. Who needs those sunset cruises with the so so food.  We have dined like royalty using the faccilities of the unit and have done this for a very reasonable cost.  When people look at the savings by having facilities that your place and the amenities that condo unit offers, it is a great value.

This condo was a perfect location and exactly as pictured. The amenities provided saved us money in the long run. We even grilled poolside one evening. 4 adults stayed here with plenty of space to spare. We left the Murphy beds out all the time to allow for all day napping. We loved the spectacular views from the Lanai - amazing sunsets and even rainbows. We lived on the lanai when we were in the condo, coffee and ocean views every morning. Sheri was helpful and was available by phone for any questions or concerns. This condo has no air conditioning but with the front door and the patio doors open it was cool enough to sleep. The constant sea breeze and sound of the ocean 24/7 was amazing. The beach access was amazing!! We only spent 2 days at other beaches. The distance to the pool or beach from the condo is equal. We loved days on the beach and nights at the pool. We snorkeled right in front of the condo and saw turtle after turtle!!! We loved that the condo provided beach chairs. We used the chairs everyday to sit in the sand with feet in the ocean. We rented a car and the underground parking was wonderful. A short drive in both directions allowed for shopping, eating, and snorkeling. We enjoyed the non-tourist feel of this condo. But we were only a 10 minute drive away from Front Street to get the tourist feel. We are 30 somethings that enjoyed every minute of this condo experience!!! We stayed here for 7 days and enjoyed Ziplining, snorkeling at Honolua Bay, sunrise bike ride at Haleakala, Old Lahaina Lu'au, and plenty of drinking and relaxing at the condo. We will be back for sure!!!!

EXACTLY AS PICTURED!!

What a perfect location! The condo is exactly as pictured, and had so many unexpected ammenities such as paper towels, garbage bags, dishwasher and laundry soap, etc. I have always hated the first shop to pick up the necessities upon arrival and was thrilled to find they had already been supplied. It had been spotlessly cleaned. The beds were comfortable--even the sofa bed! Lifting the Murphy beds out of the way during the day and opening the doors to the second bedroom really increased the open feeling with the spectacular views of both Lanai and Molokai--complete with daily rainbows. We lived on the lanai when we were in the condo. There were a few repairs that needed to be made to the patio chairs and the screens--having broken screens and not being able to open most of the bedroom windows for ventilation without having bugs come in was a drawback, but Sheri assured us they were ordered. The only other thing I would change is a security screen on the patio doors like the one on the front door to allow the patio doors to remain open at night for more ventilation when it is hot. There was only one portion of one day where we wished for air conditioning, otherwise it was very comfortable with the near-constant sea breezes. And the repairman was there to fix the chairs as we were leaving. The single drawback that would affect our choosing the Hoolani again or not is the beach access--it is a combination of half steep wooden ramp and half stairs; there were sea bags to preserve the beach along the remaining entire sea wall. It was so difficult to get up and down that we drove elsewhere when we wanted to go to the beach. This is not the place for anyone with ambulation impairment to try to climb to the beach. Sheri assures us she has addressed this with the Condo Association, but it is out of her hands. But the sounds of the surf all day long right outside our door made it so relaxing, we didn't feel the need to be on the sand much.

Owner response:I truly appreciate all comment, and thank all the guests that have taken the time to post them on my website! The screens have been repaired, unfortunately they were specialty screens, which took longer to order, thus the lapse in time when my guests arrived. I do take my vacation rental seriously, and I try to insure that everything is 100% a-ok we do have security door stops,which allows the patio doors to be opened at night about a foot, which allows sufficient air flow and cools down the condo when sleeping. I don't belive my guests took advantage of these...? Also, the patio has a see thru shade, when used, it really does help to cool the condo. The thick security metal screen on the entry door...if the patio doors had the same...it would block the incredible ocean view with mother nature taking its course, we had to remove the prior concrete steps to the ocean, and replace that area with sea bags...but the ramp is really only difficult if you are somewhat disabled...my 82 year old mother has no trouble using the ramp. again, I do thank my guests for their review! cheers!

This was our first stay at Sherrie's beachfront condo. It is a beautiful and convenient area; close to shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. Amazing views of Lanai and Molokai Islands can be seen from Sherrie's private patio. We witnessed an amazingly beautiful rainbow between both Lanai and Molokai Islands. The condo was great with all the conveniences of home. Sherrie goes out of her way to make sure your stay is everything you expect. We would definitely come and stay again. Thank you Sherrie for sharing your little bit of paradise.

Sherrie -Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your little slice of heaven. We loved the condo. We lived on the patio! The condo is beautifully decorated. Loved the master bedroom suite. We are so glad we chose this location. It was close to everything yet removed enough from the main hub of traffic and tourists. We had a wonderful time exploring Every nook and cranny of Maui. What a gogeous island and everyone we met were so kind. We would love to return some day, and when we do you can be sure we will look you up. Can't imagine staying anywhere else.

This condo is wonderful! We have stayed here 3 times and can't wait to go back. What a great location and clean, well maintained home away from home. We have not been disappointed once! The photos really tell the story and were extremely helpful when initially making our decision. Sherrie is so helpful and kind every time we have contacted her. We have recommended this condo to others although it was already booked for the time they were planning to vacation, they ended up staying at the Hololani in another unit and enjoying it as well. Thanks for a great get-away!

Great Location and a Great Condo!

I took my Wife and three daughters (16, 21 and 27) on a big family vacation to Maui. We searched many places online. The description that is given on this site is absolutely 100% accurate. The condo is clean and the photos on the site give an accurate portrayal of the condo. We found this place to be in a great location, only about a 10 min drive to Lahaina where there is shopping and restaurants galore. The location is also right across the street from a very high end steakhouse and a McDonalds plus a good ice cream shop, a dive shop (Maui diver shop) and a brewery. We rented snorkel equipment and found that we used it every day! This condo is centrally located from some of the best snorkel spots in west Maui (Honolua bay and Black rock). We swam with turtles, and spotted eagle rays. Sherry was absolutely tremendous to work with. She responds immediately to any questions and was also helpful in providing some deals on airfare from the mainland. We ate at Kimos in Lahaina and also at the Outback. We also had some great dinners at the condo as there are 3 gas grills only steps away from the back patio of the condo. The sunrises (full rainbows) and sunsets have made lasting memories for me and my family. I have already recommended this place to my coworkers who are planning on a visit very soon. My only regret was that we had to come back home!

Sherrie! Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us! We had a magnificent time at your condo. It was everything we were looking for and more! Our family of four was very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed everything the condo had to offer. We've been to numerous island beach resorts all over the world and we've never been able to get this close to the ocean! WOW! The sunsets were magnificent. The ocean breeze kept us all cool and it was great being able to open up the entire back of the condo to enjoy the ocean sounds and view. The actual condo location was wonderful, too! We enjoyed we were just far enough away from all the crowds of Ka'anapali and Lahaina to enjoy it on our own time and then retreat back to our quiet condo. One of the best family vacations we've enjoyed!

Thank you Sherrie, thank you, thank you!!! We have been meaning to post a review since we returned back home to San Diego, almost 2 months ago!! but time got away from us! You truly have a gem, a slice of Heaven! When we arrived at your condo, we could see that it was in the best location, being on the north corner of the resort. Such a private location, far enough from the pool area as to not be disturbed by any noise or foot traffic. The views from everywhere in the condo were outstanding! We loved the intimate feel of your condo, as if it were in our own house on the beach! Your new fleetwood sliding doors were the best, as they opened up completely to the large patio. We could not have imagined better sunsets than those we experienced every night! We always made sure we were at the condo at sunset, with our drinks and pupus, as there was not another restaurant in town with a better vantage point! Everything was in great shape, you provided all that we could have needed and more! The condo was professionally decorated, and has been very well maintained. Thank you again, Sherrie, for sharing your beach oasis with our family. We will be sure to pass our special find on to our friends, and will keep in our hearts forever our fond memories of our stay at Hololani. We will hope to return in the near future!
