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!

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!

Ocean views- watched the whales from balcony

The property was wonderful, just as pictures show. We loved watching the whales in the morning as the sun was rising. We had a great time, easy access to everything. The area is quiet with plenty of parking. We felt safe, no issues at all. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you.

We just returned from Maui a few days ago & absolutely loved this condo & would stay here again. It was even better than the pictures & the view was AMAZING! It wasn't whale season, but we could see turtles from the lanai & enjoyed watching them. The condo is located in a quiet area, but centralized to most of the island, which made it easy to explore everywhere. The only thing that was lacking was a nice beach close by. There is a beach that you can walk to at the end of the street, but when we went to check it out it was more of a locals beach & not very clean. You can walk to the Ocean Center, shops, & a couple of restaurants/Starbucks in a few minutes. It is the windy side of the island & we were able to open up all the windows & it cooled down the condo nicely. There is also a little fan in the bedroom that worked great to keep it cool. It was very clean, but could always use a bit of a deep cleaning like baseboards & corners; however I doubt most housekeeping do that sort of thing. It was very well stocked & had everything you need in the kitchen to cook with. There were seasonings, oil, a few paper plates, roll of paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher, & washing machine detergent. I loved that it had a washer & dryer. There were bath, hand, kitchen & beach towels, & washcloths. 2 beach chairs, umbrella, & 2 ice chests. Fridge had an ice maker. Would have been nice to have a couple ice packs for the ice chests & a boogie board to use. Would definitely recommend.

Great Stay

We had a great stay, very comfortable and relaxing. The location was great, in a less crowded area but easily accessible to most parts of the island. The condo was quiet and plenty of room for two people. The lanai had a great view of the water and had plenty of space. The pool was nice as well. The owner was very responsive when we had a broken hair dryer, which was dealt with the sane day. The only minor issue was the air conditioning, which is a small unit in the main room. It is an old unit and doesn't really help with the bedroom...on hot days, it could be a bit uncomfortable. Overall, however, i would highly recommend this condo for a nice Maui stay.

Amazing Whale Watching Views

Overall the condo perfectly met my needs. It was well stocked and clean. It could use a little deep cleaning, but so can my house. The AC kept the condo cool enough for March temperatures, but in summer it might be difficult to cool the entire unit comfortably for some people. The location was ideal for me and the excursions I had planned. It was easy to drive into Kihei and Paia for meals, shopping and to start the Road to Hana trip or the drive to Haleakala summit. A few of my favorite places to eat were Kihei Cafe, Paia Fish Market, Three’s Bar and Grill, Seascapes there in Maalaea Harbor, Monkeypod, Kihei Food trucks, Huli Huli Chicken at Koki Beach, Moose McGillicuddy's and Hana Farms. The real star of this condo is the view. It is absolutely amazing. During whale season you can see whales breaching and smacking their fins on the water all throughout the harbor. Be sure to bring binoculars and definitely plan to do the whale tour with PackWhale Foundation in Maalaea Harbor.

Gorgeous view!

The listing was very accurate concerning the view, it really was stunning. Condos are well maintained for the most part especially for being older, no complaints there. I feel like the condo was represented well in the photos, it’s small but it was equipped with what we needed. The beach chairs, umbrella, towels and coolers were perfect! We wanted a quiet location away from the touristy stuff and this was perfect. Tante’s was a great restaurant perfect for feeding our tired and hungry selves upon arrival. Very close by. This may or may not matter to you but it technically comes with A/C and the living room stays ok for the most part but it does not reach the bedroom which was problematic for sleep. We could not find a way to open the windows and the fans offered little assistance. Do not do laundry at night, it heated the place up like an oven. The washer was also having fits starting and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to get my couple of loads done. The living room fan and TV turned off for no apparent reason and it took almost an hour to get them back. Seemed like a short maybe, we tried reaching out to host but never got a response, ever… Overall it was fine for us because we are hardly ever at our unit when we travel. Biggest reason to stay…the view. Biggest reason not to stay, AC doesn’t reach bedroom.

Great location for travelling to attractions ...on a quiet street & close to the beach

Condo is on a quiet street and close to a public beach and wharf. Location is fairly central to the island for visiting tourist attractions. It is also near the airport and unfortunately you can hear planes coming into land over the building. Roosters are annoying in the morning! Voices really carry when people are in the pool and hot tub. The grounds are well kept. You can view whales from the deck. Kitchen was well stocked and all appliances in good working order. The place could use a deep clean.
