We really enjoyed our stay! I was worried about the pool being too loud but it was fine. We never even sat on the couch or turned on the tv downstairs. If we weren’t at the beach , at the pool, or exploring the island - we were sitting out on the lanai! We enjoyed our coffee there and several meals. Spent hours enjoying the scenery and the vibe. Can’t wait to go back.

Great location, cleanliness, and responsiveness by owner. proximity to the beach and pool were outstanding, and only a few steps from an all-purpose restaurant with good selections. We liked the smaller resort feel but with all the essential amenities that we look for, and without feeling crowded. We were very pleased.

Condo has a beautiful view of the ocean and pool. Only downside was the bedroom was in a loft. Parking was also hard to find near our Condo. Still it is a great place to stay.

Beautiful week in Hawaii

Our room was clean and very conveniently located. The view was perfect, as we could see the ocean and also watch family in the pool. We would definitely consider this room for another trip.

Perfect spot for a relaxed stay

Love, love, love this resort and George and Cynthia's unit is one of the best we've stayed in there. Proximity to pool and beach is fantastic. The EXTRA FIRM bed is so comfortable that I'm ordering the same mattress for myself at home! I will definitely be looking to stay in this unit again.

We had a fantastic view and location. The patio overlooked the pool and provided a great view of the ocean. This was an ideal spot for spending the week in Maui. The inside was a little tired, but who spends their vacation inside?

Fabulous Getaway in Maui!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful vacation. The condo is just as advertised and all the amenities were just as we needed them to be from the comfortable bed to the stocked kitchen to the beach chairs and then there is the view from the lanai. The view is to die for! Eating breakfast while gazing at the ocean is heavenly. Thanks to the Nelsons for a great holiday stay!

Worth it!

This was our 3rd trip to Maui, our 6th accommodation, and I can safely say that this was the best experience we’ve had so far. I obsess over details to find high value gems on the island and I grantee this condo punches well above its weight.
