We always want our guests to feel comfortable and supported, so it means a lot to hear that the extra care—like offering a flashlight during the outage made a difference. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would love to host you again anytime!
Very Clean unit. Having the beach chairs available was a plus. Kitchen is well furnished with all small appliances like toaster and coffee maker, pots and pans. Having the laundry very close by was a big help. View is great off balcony. Very firm mattress on bed. Close to elevator makes it very convenient especially when carrying groceries and luggage.

Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad you enjoyed the cleanliness, well-equipped kitchen, and beautiful balcony views. It’s great to hear the beach chairs, nearby laundry, and elevator access added convenience to your stay. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again soon!
I cannot say enough good things about this condo. The view was beautiful, the location was perfect right next door to Whaler’s village, and the condo was very clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed the beach walking path and it was perfect for evening strolls. We had great communication with the host and were able to get a later checkout which was perfect because we had a red-eye flight that night. The pineapple iced tea in the lobby and by the pool is delicious!

The beach view was okay, but I thought the picture I saw when I rented showed that we could see some of Black Rock. The picture with this review is a more accurate picture. I could be confusing a different room when I was booking.

Amazing location with a great view. Short walk to Black Rock snorkelling area and excellent amenities in the pool and koi pond. Easy access to the beach and to markets and food court at Whalers Village. Very clean and good space for storage. Pull-out bed was as comfortable as one might expect it to be.

Pool time was very good. Tv was not easy even with the instructions. Unit was very nice and clean. We loved it and would like to stay there again when we plan our next trip to Maui. I believe we left the unit in good clean condition.
