We stayed at this property in July 2010. We could not have been more pleased with our experience. The property itself is excellent. It is extremely well maintained. It is situated right on the beach, and offers spectacular views of the Pacific, and the islands of Lanai and Molokai. The beach is limited in front of the complex, but opens up nicely a few steps further down. The pool is a decent size, and our two young children loved it. There is also a very large pool deck, with 3 BBQ’s. The property is situated within easy driving distance of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua. There is also a small shopping plaza within walking distance. The unit itself has everything you could need. It is one of the few units in the complex that is truly a two bedroom unit. This change leaves a large dining room/living room combination. There is also a good-sized kitchen and breakfast bar, but we had most of our meals on the very large lanai. There are also two bathrooms. Ideal for families. What also sets this unit apart is the service we received from the owners. They were extremely forthcoming about what we could expect, and they went above and beyond the call in trying to ensure that our trip to Maui was as positive as possible. There were no surprises and no hidden fees. Just very genuine concern that our vacation was a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to go back.

We have stayed in this condo several times now and wouldn't consider any other place on Maui to stay. Plenty of room, all conveniences, beachfront. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves is delicious!

The unit has awesome views and a comfortable feel. We have stayed in A 504 since the Brentons purchased it several years ago and enjoy it very much. Last year they updated the decorating a little, which was a nice touch -- but could use more glassware. We will arrive shortly for this year's vacation and are looking forward to another month of relaxation in our "second home."

My family and I love the Hololani because every unit has an oceanview. Loved unit A502, the owners did a nice remodel job and the sunset views are amazing. I would recommend this property and this unit to travelers.

My wife and I stayed here for two weeks in December 2009. It is a beautiful condo with a spectacular view. The condo is nicely furnished complete with washer and dryer which proved very handy. The lanai was quite large with comfortable chairs. We saw whales, turtles and some spectacular rainbows. It also came equipped with beach chairs and a boogie board which was a nice touch. The property is well maintained and the pool was large and warm. We would come back again.

Loved the condo, it has 2 really nice bedrooms. No air but no problem if you keep the windows open, nice breeze. My son didn't want to open his window on the walkway so he was a little warm. Owners are great to deal with and great communication. Have a wonderful vacation at the Hololani.

Date of Stay: 03/21/09 Review Submitted: 03/31/10

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again. The condo is situated right on the beach with a spectacular view. The kids enjoyed the pool and we used the poolside barbecues often. It's unfortunate the beach isn't a little bigger (more sand), but we always drive to many different beaches during our stay anyways. The condo itself is very comfortable, was well stocked and had everything we needed! The location of the condo is very conveniently situated. We would totally recommend this place!

We have stayed at this condo several times and our son and his wife spent their honeymoon there three years ago. The place is very comfortable inside, updated, supplied with everything one needs and with spectacular view of the ocean and the two adjacent islands. There is nothing more beautiful than to sit on this fifth floor large terrace and watch unobstructed sunsets. The pool and exercise facilities are there for those eager to show off their beautiful bodies. Beach is a short distance away. And the hosts, Doug and Linda are very nice people. Looking forward to out next trip there.

We had so much fun here! The condo is right on the beach and really close to cute little downtown Lahaina. We stayed a week, went snorkeling, drove to Hana, and just had a blast. The condo is far enough from the resorts that it feels like a secluded vacation, but close enough that going out for the evening is just a 15 minute drive. I highly recommend this place, it really does Maui justice.

We had the most wonderful stay on Maui, thanks to the comfortable "home-away-from-home" accommodations provided by the Brentons. Not only did we love the calming ocean and beautiful sunsets that we could watch on the balcony overlooking the ocean, but we received travel tips for touring the island, as well as fabulous recommendations for dining when we chose to go out to eat. Thanks for making our vacation one we will never forget! No doubt we will try to return soon.

A few women friends, relatives, and I rented this condo to celebrate my reaching the half century mark. The location is everything. Beautiful sunsets with blazing tiki torches in the foreground, grilled fresh fish, and IZ on the CD player all made for nearly perfect evenings. The lullaby of the ocean as you drift off to sleep was the best part. The condo is very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Doug and Linda are a pleasure to rent from. This is a great value.

This two bedroom condo is in a great location in Maui. Views of the beach and the ocean can't be beat. The condo is well laided out and in top shape. Just a short walk to Roys (great food) and other shopping. The building is on the beach so just a very short walk and you are in the sand with no road to cross or car to get there. Nice pool and bbq's. Great for short or extended stays.

Their home was recently renovated and had all the amenities of home. Everything was clean and well equipped. We had a lovely view of the ocean and slept hearing the waves hit the beach. We even saw whales out on our lanai. What we liked best was the quiet location and great views of the ocean. Everyone was friendly and the lady at the desk even helped us find great places to eat out. We also ate in and had use of the barbecue grill down at the pool. As I remember, there was at least two and maybe more of these grills. The beds were great and comfortable and the hide - a - bed wasn't bad either. The shower was the best in the main bathroom and I remember the beautiful tile around. Our favorite movie, "Christmas Vacation" was eaten up by the VCR and we had mentioned that to the Brenton's and they got it out of the machine and mailed it back to us. We thought that was very kind and thoughtful of them. The snorkeling out front wasn't the best, but our son tried it. I preferred some of the other beaches for that. We would not hesitate to go back to the Brenton's condo but have chose to travel elsewhere for now. We're heading to New Orleans in April and Orlando for a eastern carribean cruise in June.
