Maui Escape

Property manager was very good to work with. The property was very clean and very well stocked for all our needs. We loved the location, very private with easy access to the harbor. Unbelievably peaceful hearing the ocean with the windows open. Great views of whales. We definitely plan to stay here again.

A Room With A View

The condo was amazing!! The views were amazing throughout all of the rooms. The turtles danced for us below while we sat on the lanai playing games, and the whale activity was phenomenal. The condo had all the amenities we needed. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Million Dollar View in Maui

Fantastic condo with the most amazing views of the harbor. Whale and turtle watching from the balcony all day. The property manager was very attentive and quick to respond to our needs. This was one of the best stocked vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed in. I highly recommend this property and hope to have the pleasure of staying here again.

Awesome property

This property is well maintained and super clean. It has everything you need. The interior is impressive. Whale watch from the balcony or right from the kitchen, master bedroom or second bedroom. Open the doors and let the sound of ocean waves and breezes lull you to sleep. The property is very quiet and you can also see the harbor activity. Great view of the crater as well. This one is definitely on the list of places to stay in Maui.

Island paradise

Beautiful views through and through. Parking is easy just know only has 6 ft Clearance as the parking is under another carport or you can park on the street which has lots of room. I loved having pool access so close to the ocean. The views from the living room to the bedroom were amazing. The lanai has beautiful views also.Nothing at all to complain about. Would love to go back again in the near future.

Great location and view

The location and the view of this condo were perfect and the kitchen was a great size. However, the master bathroom has a tub only with a handheld faucet and unfortunately, there was a plumbing issue so that tub couldn’t be used for part of the time our friends were there. The area where the Murphy bed is has no closets so there’s no place to hang your clothes so you need to put your suitcases and all of your things on the bench by the window. Overall, the property itself is and the view looking out into the ocean in the harbor was spectacular!

Nice but not outstanding

Beautiful view. Good central location but that means a 20 minute drive anywhere. Pictures show better than actual room. Ok for 1 couple, would have been less good for two. Reasonable rates.

Great place, incredible ocean views

We were informed about the construction, which with the preemptive discount was fine. Only complaint was that there was no way to get Netflix on TV. Nice entertainment system, but no Netflix. In today's age where everyone has Netflix that's kinda unacceptable.

Great Experience

Barbara and her team were very responsive from booking to the end of our stay. THANK YOU. Location near Maalaea Harbor was perfect for accessing all part parts of the Island. The immediate area is much less congested than the large resort towns and still had some nice restaurants and stores within easy walk. The 3rd floor condo with floor to ceiling windows offered spectacular views of the bay. Very impressive, especially during whale season. We were here in February and almost always saw whales when we looked out the windows. Condo was very clean and well prepared when we arrived. Excellent kitchen with clean, new appliances and well stocked with plates, flatware, etc. Furniture was clean and in excellent condition. Not like some rentals we've stayed at. We would not hesitate to book again and recommend to friends and family.

Excellent views spot right on the water.

The views from the property are quite stunning. The kitchen is well stocked with nice cutlery, dishes, and glassware. The location is residential; it is about halfway between Kihei and Lahaina if you're adventuring all over Maui this is definitely a good location.

Enchanting and captivating

From the moment you step through the door this apartment captivates. The view is spectacular and the property is the perfect home away from home. Sea turtles are abundant and visible from the windows. This is truly a little gem of Maui, centrally located on the island within steps of the aquarium & Maalaea village, low keyed, extremely quiet and relaxation inducing. Everything about this place and our interaction with the property manager enhanced our first time visit to the island of Maui.

The condo's interior is very nice. Being on the shore is great, but no beach access except for a 15-20 minute walk. Location forces you to explore, which has its benefits. Property manager was very kind and quick to communicate. All in all, satsfied.
