Excellent overall! Needs a few things to make it even better.

This was a great condo, excellent in many ways and it was as advertised! The kitchen is not well stocked (no cutting board, very few plates, silverware, glassware, coffee cups, skillet without a top) and no pot holders or hot pads. We used the kitchen towel for a hot pad and we bought our own cutting board that we took home with us. The WiFi was great, the view was awesome and overall we had a great time.

Wonderful accommodations in Maui

This was our first trip to Maui and we were thrilled when we walked into this unit. It was perfect for two people. We loved the view from the balcony and having our coffee outside each morning. The location in Whaler Village was perfect. Close to restaurants, shopping and the beach was wonderful. We especially liked that we could get umbrella and chair rentals each day. The grounds are very nice and the staff and concierge were very helpful. Would highly recommend.

Overall, very good but selling to new owner just happened

All good with minor issues, toilet broke, but otherwise quite happy. TV is in awkward place and balcony has sun most of day. Some may want that and some may want more shade on balcony. You can see sunset every night from balcony too!!

Why they chose this property

West Maui has everything you could possibly ask for when traveling to the best island destination in the world. For fun in the sun, West Maui boasts a remarkable concentration of world-class beaches. The luxurious resorts of Kaanapali and Kapalua offer plenty of choices for upscale dining, golf, spas, and shopping. The magical backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Maui’s neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai deliver some of the most breathtaking sunsets you are ever likely to witness. Whales can be seen splashing off the coast in the winter and the summer gives way to Maui’s only spots for parasailing and jet-skiing.

What makes this property unique

This elegantly remodeled 12th floor "penthouse" studio suite boats stunning views of both the blue Pacific Ocean and the lush West Maui Mountains.
