Great place to stay!

The unit was very clean and stocked with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable and welcoming. The view was incredible and we enjoyed having our coffee each morning on the lanai. We saw several whales from our room. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay

This condo was quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of tourists & shops (what we wanted). Beach was just out front. A little windy on that side. But it was a good location for exploring east Maui. It was clean with amenities.

Great stay!

This is a great condo at a midpoint between Kihei and Lahaina which made it easy to get to either town. There is a nice beach just a few minutes walk down the road. Plenty of activities nearby such as the aquarium and mini golf. And not to mention a spectacular view of the ocean from the room!

LOCATION,VIEW, COMFORT

Rental is equipped with everything needed for our stay.We would walk to ocean through the small gate and watched green turtles which came to shore in the evenings.Location was the best, easily drivable to all places around Maui.View best and even though you don’t have direct acces to the beach thru the gate from the pool area the nearest beach was 5 mins walk from the property,Would love to stay again at this property in the future.

Exploring Maui

We chose to stay here based on the ocean, front view, and proximity to the other parts of the island we wanted to explore. Space was very clean and comfortable, with the beautiful ocean view right off the balcony. We were really happy with the location, as we traveled to all parts of Maui.

Ideal for whale watching!

The property was just what I was looking for...a lovely place to watch whales right from our lanai. It was very nicely decorated and furnished and very well equipped.I appreciated that it was in a peaceful area, away from the crowded cities and congested tourist areas. The location was ideallly located in the middle of the island, just right for exploring in either direction. We'd love to stay here again!

Amazing Views

My husband and I had a great 2 week stay. The condo is as pictured and very quiet. We loved the location because it’s a short drive to many beaches and activities. The best part was sitting on the balcony watching the whales and amazing sunrises. Loved having the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler for the beach. Would definitely stay again!
