We just returned from our trip to Maui and our family had a fabulous time! We wish we were still there!! This condo is right on the water with some of the most amazing views you will ever see. The corner, end unit is private and for the most part quiet(If your neighbors don't play their music too loud). The lanai is wonderful just to sit and read, or relax while watching the amazing sunsets or the numerous turtles who swim in the surf right at your feet!:) The snorkeling wasn't too bad right in front of the condo either. Besides swimming with the turtles, there were plenty of other fish to see. We were on Maui with our two kids, 12 and 13 years old. The pull down beds worked really well for them. We enjoyed a sail on The Paragon, snorkeling at many area beaches(Kapalua, just two miles away,, Honolua and Paipu Beach in Kihei were our favorites. Kapalua beach is a wonderful sandy beach to hang out for the day, swim and some of the best snorkeling we have seen in our many years of going to Maui. My husband went on a dirt bike ride for the day with Maui Moto Adventures and had an amazing time. Maui Brewing company right up the hill had really good food, as well as Honokowai Okazuya Deli. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and went to Roy's in Kaanapali for dinner. It was delicous!! We also bought fish from The Fish Market nearby and bbq'd at the condo. It was great! They recommend a marinade and give it to you so you are all ready to grill. This is a great condo, with lots of room for a family, fully equipped and ready for you. Only about 10-15 minutes from Lahaina. We will stay here again...hopefully very soon!:) We miss the sunshine already.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We just returned from 10 amazing days with our 2 teenage sons. It was everything Sherrie advertises and more! We loved being out of the resort tourist trap with tons of people, yet close enough to join the mix when we felt like it. The condo is perfectly equipped and furnished. Our favorite feature is the collapsing sliding glass doors that we opened immediately upon awakening in the morning and did not close until we went to bed! They open the entire condo to the outdoors (Yes, there were days we did not leave the place.) The ocean water is at your finger tips and being on the ground level provided the feeling of expanded living. Plenty of shade on the patio until the afternoon sun and then sitting, watching the sunsets was a treat night after night. The pool is just steps away, as are the BBQ's and beach access! MANY sea turtles right there and the whale watching was out of this world! The master bedroom has a large picture window that made waking up a delight. Beautiful, newly remodeled kitchen made cooking meals an ease. Very convenient to small convenience stores and bus access to Kaanapali and Lahaina, if you do not prefer a car the entire time. We rented a car for the first few days so we could explore the island, returned it and then got another one for the journey back to airport. It was very easy to exist without the car. The washer and dryer was a treat, espeially for towels that we used for the pool and beach. There are ceiling fans in all rooms that create nice air movement and plenty of nice seating throughout. We really anjoyed the sitting nook in master bedroom during the early morning hours, while the boys were still asleep, reading our books, sipping coffee and watching the whales. We are already dreaming of our next trip, now considering it our Maui getaway. We are also referring it to friends who are planning their paradise vacation on Maui! You cannot get a more quiet, private setting up close and personal with the Maui sea. And to top it off, Sherrie is a delight to work with! Back to the busy life of work, home and play with the most pleasant memories of our Hawaiian vacation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car.

My second time at this lovely condo. The upgrades are fabulous, especially the the large sliders that open up the great room to the outside. I read thru previous reviews and its difficult to come up with something new to ad. This side of Maui and all the resources it has to offer is not to be missed. When you come to Maui and stay at this condo, plan on spending some "down" time so that you can just relax and enjoy the incredible view and wonderful accommodations. One of my favorite things to do is to watch the weather change over Molokai, the island often just disappears. Molokai looks just like what it is, a huge volcano rising up from the Pacific ocean floor, Very Neat!! The sandy beach at Hololani is a great place to investigate. If the tide is out and the rocks are exposed, you never know what you might find. You can follow the beach to the south, its a very nice walk. Look for the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, resting on the beach, or feeding just off the beach a bit, and during whale migration season the whale activity is outstanding, from the beach, property, lanai and condo. If you have any doubts about renting this condo vs just a room at a humongous resort, compare the rates and see what you get. Even if you never use the kitchen or washer/dryer, you will enjoy the oceanfront view which includes sunsets, the pool, complimentary assigned underground parking, beach chairs and toys for all ages, beach towels, just read thru all the amenities included with the condo. Never thru vrbo before? Read thru all the reviews for this condo, they are all right on. You pay a lot of money to go to Maui, you should not be disappointed in your accommodations. If this condo is booked for your choice of dates, check the other listings that Sherrie, the owner, has. I have stayed at 2 of her other rentals, the 1 bedroom and the studio and each one is as nice at the other. Tastefully decorated, comfortable and very clean. Sherrie is very attentive to her guests and you will not be disappointed staying at any of her properties. Sherrie lives on Maui, so if you have any questions or concerns, they are taken care of promptly and professionally.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We have vacationed in Kahana 3 or 4 times, but this is the first time we stayed at Hololani. The condo was beautiful and the views were awesome. We spent several weeks there and got up early every morning to watch the beautiful sunrise and sat on the lani every night waiting for the breathtaking sunsets. We did a lot of snorkeling, Black Rock, Molokini and Kapaula. Kapalua was the best. We saw all kinds of beautiful fish, sea turtles and even saw a Monk Sea swim by the condo one morning. It was great having the beach at the condo. One day there were 3 sea turtles on the beach. What a treat that was! The condo itself was very nice, well appointed and close to shopping and dining. The kitchen had granite counters and new appliances, the bedroom was very comfortable and the condo was very clean. Everything was as described and Sherrie was wonderful. We ate in Lahaina many evenings and went to Fleetwood's one night and Mick Fleetwood was there playing drums! Awesome place! We also had the best Chinese food ever from the China Boat down the street-The Pineapple Shrimp was delicious. We had a wonderful time at Hololani and are already planning our next trip. Can't wait!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Came here for a family vaca with my husband and two adult kids. This condo was amazing, with the open door directly looking out to the ocean. The moment we walked out to look at the ocean we found two huge sea turtles right beneath us! I would could cook dinner while looking out on the most amazing sunsets everynight! Most of our best pictures were taken while laying on the lounge chairs either in the morning with coffee or in the evening with our Mai Tai's. This condo was very clear and has nice furnishing.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

When we walked into Sherrie's beautifully maintained condo, we immediately opened the drapes and the expansive sliding doors and soaked in the amazing view. My friend and I stayed here with my daughter and her friends to celebrate their recent graduation from high school. Each morning, before the younger girls woke up, we would sit out on the gorgeous patio and take in the views of Molokai and Lanai, occasionally spotting sea turtles in the surf. This was the ultimate place to relax! The ground floor location was super convenient as the girls were just steps from the pool. The small sandy beach was just a few steps further. The kitchen was perfect and enabled us to make breakfasts and pack lunches most days to save a bit of money. We loved the dishwasher because no one likes to do dishes on vacation! Our favorite beach ended up being Napili, just a short five minute drive from the condo. There's a great breakfast place there called the Gazebo. We also enjoyed eating at Dollie's, a pizza, salad, and sandwich place just a three minute walk from the condo. In addtion to snorkeling, hanging out at the beach, and eating, the activities we most enjoyed were: ziplining with SkyLine Eco-Adventures and the Old Lahaina Luau. We also had fun on the road to Hana, although that was an all day event. Sherrie was readily available to answer any questions by phone. She was very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this property as the perfect getaway spot in a location that's convenient to both Ka'anapali and Lahaina (to the south) and to the more northerly beaches of Napili and Kapalua and Honolua Bay (great snorkeling spots). Thank you, Sherrie, for everything!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We are a family of 4 ( 2 girls 13/15 yrs). This condo is beautifly decorated and the beds are very comfortable the kitchen is well equipted and stocked w what you might need dish soap,paper towles, spices,nice plates and glasses as well as plastic cups for tha pool area.The pots and pans could use some up dating. plastic rap aluminum rap and wax rap are nice touches,Very nice coffee maker and a small pack of coffee is inculuded. no sugar or creamer.Both inside and out side dinning furnature is very comfortable.All furnature is up scale and comfortable. The condo is very clean and every applince works it has a dishwasher and dish soap is included. The washer/dryer are very small apt. units they work but are very loud and are very small loads.no laundry soap included.The master suite is a highlight to this condo it is a ground floor unit and the master bed room lani has been closed in with full view windows and have seeting ,nice place for a glass of wine w view of the island and ocean and some mommy and daddy time if you know what i mean! The condo has under ground parking with assinged spots this is a plus but the main negative with this property is it is close to the street and you can hear the cars and trucks as well as the motorcycles and ther is a lot of trafic sometimes it runs loud and late so if you are a light sleeper beware . it did not bother me too much but did my wife and one of my girls.Fine dinning to check out is Roy's and David Pauls Island Grill in lahina.Both are expensive but some of the best meals we have ever eaten. We loved the Pacific Whale Foundations Dalphin watch and Snorkel out of Lahina $65 adults and $30 for the kids feed us breakfast and we saw &5 spinner dalpins going out and snorkled off the neighboring island for 1 1/2 hrs then the feed us lunch great grilled chicken sand. we left 8 am and wer back by 1;30 pm great trip they supply the snorkel gear and everthing.We snorkeled at a different beach each day and saw the ocean aquarium which is quite nice .This condo is quite a distance from the road to Hana so we checked out and did that drive and stayed at Hana Kai resort dont mis the drive to Hana it is BEAUTIFUL!! We very much recommemd this condo as a wonderful base to relax and enjoy Maui.ps we liked safeway to shop at for food it is in Lahina it had good prices and excellent selectonsRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

My husband and I just celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at Sherrie's condo. We had our 8 and 6 year old children with us and just loved the accommodations. We felt right at home with the comfortable amenitites from the kitchen, living room, beautiful master bedroom, and the lanai was the highlight! Another bonus for the kids aside from the pool was the side lawn next to the building where it was open and gave them plenty of room to run around, race and fly a kite. There was a day or two where AC would have been nice, but the cross breeze when the front door and patio doors was open usually made it comfortable. It would not stop us from staying there again. Sherrie was also very pleasant and responsive to our questions when we arrived. We will go back again!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

If the scale is 1-10, this lovely condo rates a 20! When we walked into the condo the first time, I literally threw my arms up in the air and squealed with delight! The condo is everything Sherrie tells you it is! You will find everything you need to enjoy your day at the beach, and then fall into super comfy beds at night to dream about your next day in paradise. Sherrie is a dream to work with! She makes you feel so welcome, and like an old friend. She takes a personal interest in you and really wants to ensure you have a good time at her place. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of room! We spent SO SO much time out on the lanai, and at the time of our stay when the tide we out, we had a lovely little beach to enjoy! If the surf was up, we simply walked a few steps down to the next resort and the beach was lovely. We enjoyed boogie boarding and snorkeling right off the beach. The whales and turtles came by to visit every day we were there. Thank you Sherrie for everything!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The location of this condo - - right on the beach - - combined with the help of Casey at Boss Frogs (across the street from the condo) made our time in Maui absolutely heaven. The living area connects to the lanai by floor to ceiling sliding patio doors. Once these were opened each morning, we had what you dream about - - a home right on the beach. We ate breakfast and many dinners on the lanai as we took in the amazing sounds and sights of the beach and adjoining islands. Casey, at Boss Frogs helped us have amazing days. He scheduled an amazing helicopter tour (Air Maui) - - a Molokini snorkeling trip (Frogman) - - and gave great advice about the best local places to snorkel and fish.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

The view, lanai, sliders and kitchen are all excellent! Water is hot, beds are good, ice maker works and it has a good cable tv in living room and master. Sherrie is great to work with, allowed us to purchase several things, i.e. I Pod dock. The kitchen and slider updates are outstanding, other remodeling in baths includes walk in shower and new counter and floor tile, and cabinet surfaces. Plumbing, toilets, second bath tub have not been updated. Several small windows need to be replaced. Upon arrival closet sliders were off tracks, hang bar not attached and bath door needs adjustment. While Sherrie explained the second bedroom situation i.e. pocket door/wall separating it from living room I would not recommend for two couples who want equality re bedrooms. The Murphy beds are comfy the reading lights are not convenient and there are not side table. The second bedroom does have a nice slider and you can hear the surf at night. This room would be best for kids. Blkdg and parking are ok, grounds well kept but stairs to beach are very difficult if you have any mobility problems. Beach is third of mile long but narrow in front of condo and subject to seasonal change. Pool is small but heated, deck gets crowded but this unit has great chaises with new cushions so sunning on lanai is great. You will see whales and turtles! No spa. Loved the neighborhood, easy walk to several restaurants (avoid Sands), market, bus service etc. Bottom line, I would go back but not with another couple due to bedroom situation, best for family. The attraction is the lanai, view to die for, and kitchen! Again Sherrie is on island and very responsive, give it a try..she also has 3 other units two in adjacent building. jimRecommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: When I first was looking to buy a condo at Hololani, I did see a couple units that had a wall separating the 2nd bedroom instead of a pocket door. True, more private as far as sound proofing, but I felt you sacrificed double the ocean views and double the living space during the day. Having sliders the full width of the entire front of the condo facing the ocean was far more appealing, than the floor plan with the second bedroom walled in. But, the 2nd bedroom has the sliders facing the ocean. Very few 2 bedroom oceanfront condo's in Maui have both bedrooms facing the ocean. All in all, I feel the pocket door is a tradeoff,with less privacy (soundproof) but the positive outweights the negative. As far as the closet doors off the track, I do state in my check in instructions if there is any issue to call me or my maid service, available 24/7. Just 1/2 minute fix to lift the closet door back on the track, they are not heavy. As far as the windows, I will check this week, but I haven't had my maintenence service report any issue with windows. And, the toilets and 2nd bathtub are just fine. No, not brand new...but there is no reason to replace. I did about $100,000 rennovation in different segments within the last 5 years, and you can see by other comments on my website that most guests feel the condo is in great condition. I do appreciate all reviews, and I welcome all honest assessments thank you! Sherrie

My family of 4 with 2 children 8 and 9 stayed at the Hololani in December for 11 days and i can say that all who stay at this condo will love it.It's very quiet,clean and has everything to make your stay pleasant and relaxing.The pool was great for the kids and the whale's were flying out of the water right out the back giant sliding door.We stayed at Sherrie's condo at the Royal Kahana last winter and loved it too.She makes it easy and comfortable for anyone to visit her condo's.Both of the condo's are very large, 1,000 and 1300 sq ft.You can't find a hotel that sleeps 4-6 people with half the living space as the Hololani or the Royal Kahana units.So if your looking for a great getaway place with a family,THIS IS THE PLACE. The price is very reasonable.We plan on visiting again soon.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
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.

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.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The view from the patio and the sunsets were amazing! All in all, it was a beautiful vacation and we hope to return to this beautiful island someday. Thank you for the late check out. It certainly made our last day more enjoyable. Mahalo!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Being a frequent guest at this property owner's condos, I had high expectations for this condo. It did not disapoint. I am a frequent traveler to Maui and have done most of the things there are to do here, so this was a real R&R for me. The sun shade on the patio, made it comfortable during the later day when the sun shines directly into the condo. It cuts out the sun but you can see directly thru it. Being from a cold climate, I like to be outside as much as I can and the sun shade made that possible. There is no air conditioning, but the air flow is great along with the ceiling fans and there are extra portable fans in the unit if you need them. I even took one out onto the patio during a very hot afternoon and it made it very comfortable. You travel so far to come here, I do not want to be cooped up inside in airconditoning to stay cool, for me it was perfect. Professionally cleaned, plenty of towels and lots of hot water. Also books, beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, boogie boards and much more, I forgot my hat and there are 3 here to choose from. I cooked all my meals here in the well stocked kitchen with a great view to the outside. Also, love the convenience of the washer and dryer. I really like the location of it as an end unit. Very little foot traffic walking by if you like your privacy. A great value with terrific view, compare to a hotel room on the beach and come here instead. I even saw whales during the end of April, first part of May.It would be perfect during whale migration season. Look for turtles swimming by. I also really like the assigned parking space and recycling containers in the underground parking area. For my money, I will continue to book with this owner. I know that I am getting a place that is, what it says it is, even better. The photos do not do it justice. Sherrie, the property owner lives on Maui and is so easy to work with. She cares about your satisfaction and feedback. I look forward to my next stay!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 9/9

Dear Sherrie, like everyone else has written, what a wonderful place you have here. I even saw whales from the lanai, this late in the season. Being a frequent guest at your properties and frequent traveler to Maui, this is my favorite condo - The kitchen is great! I prepared all my meals there and loved looking out to the ocean. I've pretty much see and done everything there is to do on Maui, so this was a true R&R for me. The patio shade is great to keep the sun out, yet you can see thru it, I used it every sunny day. Your standards for your condos are top notch and I look forward to many more returns. Aloha and MahaloDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Aloha Sherrie, What a nice and relaxing place you have here. It was just what our family needed. We saw whales, turtles and this morning a seal, very cool. The best sunsets on the beach were right here. Once we figured that out we made sure we were at the condo to watch and made dinner reservations for after. Very nice, you're lucky to have this place.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We saw so many whales just from the patio and we were all so excited every time! We much enjoyed just relaxing at the pool and got plenty of sun. Your corner, ground-floor is the perfect place! We were so glad we weren't in any other condo. Thanks so much for for sharing your "drop of heaven" with us.
