  This is a very nice one bedroom with a million dollar view. The condo is very homey, the main bedroom is very nice. We spent most of our time on the Lanai or Laying on the grass. We saw plenty of Rainbows and Whales from those cozy chairs. 2 Adults and 2 Kids fit very comfortably. Will stay their again for sure.

  We stayed at Makena Beach Hotel last time in Maui a couple of years ago. It was nice enough, but we much preferred staying at this ground floor unit in the Kahana Reef complex. With the lanai, lawns and Condo all at one level it feels as though the condo stretches right out to the ocean, which is not far away. Everything we needed was in the condo and the grounds are perfect. We hope to go back same time next year.

  We travelled to Maui this year to whale watch. This condo is well located to Lahaina for the whale watching trips. You can also sit in the condo, sit on the lanai, os sit by the ocean and watch whales (binoculars help) This is a very nice ground floor unit. It's close to the ocean, the pool, and the BBQs.The photos are accurate. The unit is upgraded and the grounds are well maintained. There is no beach access immediately in front of the complex but you just have to go down a few stairs at the nosxth end and walk a short distance to a nice little beach. We only had one problem and the owner actively took care of us and was responsive. This is a quiet complex. We had no problems with rowdy renters or partiers. I looked like there are quite a few snowbirders who stay there for the winter. The few I talked to were very nice and helpful. No recommendations for restaurants. We do recommend getting fish or other good food to grill on the conventient BBQs and then sit on your lanai and enjoy the ocean view dining.

  Overall, this was a good base for our family (2 adults + 2-yr old). Location: It was a little far for us to explore much with a toddler. We had limited time before nap or bedtime. Without a napping toddler in tow, this is perfect. The beach next door is nice and we saw quite a few turtles off the steps! Condo Complex: The grounds, including the laundry room, BBQ, and pool were immaculate. The groundkeepers, managers, housekeeper, and all the neighbors were very friendly. Even the resident cat, Simba, visited a few times (and my daughter stalked her relentlessly). The complex was calm and quiet. Condo Location: Groundfloor was nice because you simply walk out to the pool, barbecue, laundry, beach, etc. We brought a little inflatable pool and filled it a few times in front of the patio for our toddler (drained it in the drain each time, so that we wouldn't over-water or kill the grass). We brought the baby monitor to the pool or sat in the lounge chairs on the lawn while our toddler napped each day. On the other hand, the screen patio door didn't work, so we kept the glass door closed when we weren't able to watch our daughter closely (e.g. cooking) because she kept beelining for the pool. Condo: Kitchen was well-stocked for our use (breakfast everyday and dinner a couple times). Plenty of good pots/pans, decent knives, good coffee maker, blender, etc. Dishwasher was great. There were only 2 plastic cups and you need plastic for the pool, so you might need to pick up some. The bed was very comfortable. We didn't use the sofa bed except to lounge on it and watch movies. It would be good for kids (typical sofa bed). The closet FULL of beach umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, ice chests, etc. was awesome. There was even a boogie board with a little clear window, which was a perfect "boat" for our toddler to pseudo-snorkel. The condo has been remodeled by a do-it-yourself'er. As one myself, I will say that although it was not perfect, it's a respectable job and functional. If the details annoy you, my advice is to stop looking down and look up at the amazing view staring back. There's no A/C, and you don't need it with the windows open at night. My only warning would be that during daytime naps, we had to close the bedroom door and it got pretty warm in there, even in December. Overall: A+. We'll definitely stay here again, especially when our daughter is a little older! Tip: Take your toddler to Baby Beach!!

  We have done VRBOS in the past and this one paid off big time. Loved the Condo. Ralph the owner was right on. Very clean, the grounds were perfect but really the view is what is was all about. Sea turtles everday and then a huge surprise was the spinning dolphins out front. Loved BBQ everynight. Very peaceful. And if you are worried about the pool being so close don"t. It was no big deal. I even enjoyed the laundry facilities. We enjoyed our stay so much we are planning to go twice a year. If you love fish, don't go out to restraunts got to Fish Market. Too die for.

  I just spent 10 days in Paradise! I have never been to Hawaii before and we decided to go for my 50th birthday. After being here I don't know why I waited so long to go. It was amazing and we are already planning our next trip. The condo was better then I could have hoped. The location was incredible. To be able to walk out the door and be right on the ocean....wow. The complex is so peaceful and being able to have coffee on the lanai in the morning and see the sunrise every night was great. We drove around quite a bit checking other areas out and decided we would have no reason to go anywhere else. This is our "go to" place from now on. The condo was lovely....full of snorkel equipment, beach chairs, backpacks, and boogie boards. This has everything a person needs to be able to have a fun filled and also relaxing vacation, and everyone was so friendly and helpful. The grounds are immaculate and the manager was great. He told us where the best places were to snorkel. We did snorkel right off of the beach next to the condo and we saw sea turtles, numerous reef fish, rays, and a zebra moray eel. We also found a great Chinese place across the street, China Boat is delicious and very reasonable. MaLa on Front Street in Lahaina was also amazing. Being the sports fans that we are, Dollies and Maui Brewing Company were both right down the street with great food and football. If you are looking for the vacation of a lifetime then this is the place to be! I can't wait for my next vacation!

  The property here is amazing, always well maintained and manicured. Pool extra clean and warm. BBQ's cleaned everyday and work perfect. Close enough to shopping and Lahaina. Sea turtles seen everyday for two weeks that we were there. The condo has been reno"d, however there a few things that need to be completed. We assumed from the add that condo was well stocked but we should have made inquiries with the owner to clarify "well stocked". Perfect location in the complex with proximity to the BBQ, pool and beach front.

  The listing description very accurately described the condo - location and amenities. The condo building is very quiet and extremely well-maintained - the pool was cleaned every morning and the grounds were immaculate. No air conditioning was necessary and the fans and layout of the condo kept a nice flow of air. The sunsets were spectacular and having the ocean steps away from the lanai was wonderful. The small negatives were no local telephone, no washer/dryer in the suite (although the condo building had several fairly close by), and no owner manual to provide directions for internet access and local preferences. The condo itself was very clean and nicely, although not completely, renovated. The owner was friendly in emails and telephone conversations. We would consider this condo in the future and will suggest to it friends and family. Front Street in Lahaina is definitely worth visiting - great shops, art, and restaurants. Traveling around the island was easy and the trip to the volcano for the sunrise and bicycle ride down was amazing. The road to Hana was beautiful and traffic the day we went was quite light.

  I feel that this condo was an exceptional value. The (physical) location of the complex is perfect. West Maui has the most fun destinations. It is north enough to be at the "rain line" south Maui receives no rain and north is a rain forest. This is just right at the rain line. It makes the ground lush, but doesn't rain that often. The grounds are VERY well kept and is quiet. The condo itself is very nice sized and met our needs very well. The location of this unit in the complex is perfect. Right next to the pool had me spooked, but since this is a pretty quiet place, it was much more of an asset than hindrance. The beach to the right of the complex is very easy to reach and is really a nice underused beach. The views from this unit will astound you. I kept taking pictures constantly! The unit was well kept and well stocked. The bed slept great!. Most everything you might need was there at the condo already, and we didn't have to search far for anything. There is a convenience store within walking distance if you did need something. The description and photos of this condo do not do it justice. It is much better than I expected. The owner delivered as promised. I highly recommend this condo. When I get to go back again, I hope it is still available to rent. I'd take it in a heartbeat.
