Great place overall, amazing views with private beach. Bed is older and too soft for my liking but other than that excellent place.

Michael's property is lovely. Rainbows and whales constantly. And if it ever got chilly or window, sit on the couch or at the dining room table and you'll have same view.

Hale Mahina is a very special place to many of the people who continue to come back year after year. The condo was excellent beyond measure. We watched whales breach every day from the lawn and enjoyed having no other plans. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful community through the years of staying here. What started as a quick visit turning into an engagement :) We can't wait to come back!

The property is wonderful! We loved the large living room and patio with unobstructed views of the ocean. We watched 3 turtles swim up onto the beach in front of the condo. This place is spectacular! Thank you Michael for letting us stay in your wonderful condo!

Everything about this property is absolute perfection! There was plenty of room for our family of 4, lovely amenities, and the convenient location made it an ideal home base. And that view! We were completely spoiled by the beautiful view and the ability to simply walk out and swim in the pool or snorkel in the ocean. We could not be more pleased with our stay. Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!

The Condos were very nice with a great sandy beach directly in front. My favorite activity on the beach was the turtles that would swim up and sunbathe next to us. Location is just minutes from Lahaina and grocery stores. Would definitely recommend and I’m anxious to return next Spring. 🌴🌸

The grounds, pool and location are great! We saw turtles and seals right in front of the condo! Close proximity to restaurants and groceries. The unit itself left something to be desired. The carpet was pretty stinky. Overall the unit is outdated and the bathroom/bedroom are pretty small. The kitchen was not well equipped (we like to cook and wanted to cook more than we were able) and the microwave and blender were broken. :( Not what we were expecting for the premium price tag. We still managed to enjoy our time since we spent most of it outside!

The property was great, but the location and veiws were amazing! In the evenings there were sea turtles on the beach, which is just steps from the condo. We used the kitchen to cook fresh caught fish from The Fish Market just south on the same road. Sunsets from the lanai or the beach were beautiful. The condo stayed remarkably cool with the cross breeze from the lanai to the bedroom.

Views and serenity of this property are fabulous! Turtles on the (private!) beach. Whales in the distance. Amazing sunsets from the lanai. Short drive to Whaler's Village, Kaanapali Beach, and great dining options if you'd prefer a more vibrant scene. Walking distance to grocery store if you prefer to stay in and enjoy the peace and serenity of the property. Can't go wrong with either option!
Would definitely recommend and return!

Gorgeous property …. Snorkeling off the beach, whale watching, sea turtles swimming off shore and on the beach, lush lawn and garden, pool, hot tub, unbelievable sunsets!! The unit met all our needs and we LOVED our stay in the magical tropic oasis!!!!

You are right by the water, where whales jumped in the AM, sunsets in the evening, and listening to the waves at night. You cant beat that price.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. If you are looking for quite romantic spot, this is your place. The parking is a little tight and small but the sunset view from the balcony makes up for the parking.m

My husband and I had our 4 year old daughter with us and we had a ball! We love the atmosphere and the sense of community at the resort. The people we met there were all wonderful. The grounds keeper was a sweetheart, and our host was always willing to answer questions through the booking and the stay. The listing said binoculars were there but we never found them. I don’t fault the host because people that rent these can be terrible. The whale watching was unreal and now a new hobby for me! I love it the most of anything on the island. The turtles are awesome too and come on the beach. We absolutely love the location and hoping to be back.

This Condo gets a 5 for its Lani and View of the Ocean Sunsets. The living room is nice, but the bedroom and bathroom are small, very little storage space. There is no A/C, fans help but the room stays warm. Bedroom is cooler with windows open, but there is a lot of road noise. We visited other Condo's in the Complex, some very nice with A/C and more modern furniture and fixtures. The "new" TV was very frustrating to use - not a big deal, but no access to live news, sports or weather, etc. The beach is small and every day we were there had high surf warnings/advisories - thus it was rather dangerous. We enjoyed our visit to Maui, but next time, we'll look for a better place to stay.

Great views. Sunsets are spectacular
Smaller complex. Not overun w people. Private beach
Close enough to sightseeing spots and town, but far enough away for that secluded feel

We enjoyed lazy mornings and evenings on the balcony overlooking the beach. The sunsets from the balcony were amazing and sipping coffee there in the morning was not half bad either. We really enjoyed the location and ease of getting around the island. Tons of things to do and see in 15-20 minute drive. Awesome experience! Highly recommend!

This is our second visit to Hale Mahina and we love it!
We came in as the island was beginning to experience the impacts of Hurricane Darby (tropical storm)…it was amazing to watch! Our condo provide a prime location to watch the huge waves and surfers!
This condo had all we needed to be comfortable during our 11 day stay!!
The resident manager came to our aid when we had a minor issue!!
There are so many turtles in the little bay!
Aloha and Mahalo, until we meet again!

The place is lovely, easy communication and had all the basics we needed to cook a couple meals at home. We were just fine with no AC (traveled in June), the place has a great cross-breeze. We would love to stay here again sometime.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, updated, comfortable condo and we certainly hope to stay here again! The view from the lanai (and living room, kitchen, hallway) is truly spectacular. We used the poolside grills multiple nights for dinner and enjoyed chatting with other guests on the lawn overlooking the ocean. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly. We saw turtles swimming in the water and on the beach multiple times and we enjoyed the swimming and snorkeling directly in front of the building. The pool was great and there were plenty of lawn chairs and space anytime we wanted to sit on the lawn to gaze at the blue-green water! It was a treat to have such a well stocked condo; including the kitchen and even bonus beach gear: snorkeling equipment, boogie board, floatie, and a beach umbrella. As listed in the unit description, there isn’t AC and it can get warm in the late afternoon/evening. But the well-placed fans were great and kept us comfortable. You can hear a little bit of road traffic noise from the bedroom but the fans and white noise machine (provided) drown it out. It’s also a pretty quiet street at night. Also, it was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Overall this condo is comfortable, modern, welcoming, and we would absolutely love to stay here again! Thank you so much to Michael and Rose for allowing us to stay in this beautiful place!

The property was very beautiful, clean and better than described. The beach was perfect and we saw huge turtles every day. We were on our honeymoon and it could not have been more magical. We were close to everything and had a wonderful time.

This place has it all....cleanliness, comfort and convenience. It is nicely furnished and has everything you need. The location couldn't be better. Less than a mile down the road you can walk to little shops, a coffee house, a farmer's market, a supermarket/pharmacy, restaurants and food trucks. We watched the sunset from the lanai every evening and were treated to a spectacular rainbow one morning. The grounds are beautiful with all the colorful flowers and the beach is pristine. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this condo.

Our family stayed at this Hale Mahina condo for five nights in March. It was truly magical and we all hope to return again soon! The best thing about the condo is the view. It's not just a great view, it's an all-encompassing view (and sound) of the ocean! We did a lot while on Maui, but all agreed that what we really needed more of, was simply sitting on the lanai, staring out into the water. There were whales to watch, cloud systems moving through bringing rainbows, and beautiful sunsets over the neighboring islands of Moloka'i and Lanai.
The condo has a small, fairly private beach, which is unusual for this part of the island. We enjoyed swimming, boogie boarding and snorkeling each day. As well, we were greeted by unbelievable wildlife! Green Sea Turtles rested on the beach each day, sometimes up to four at once! We could watch them swim by throughout the day and often had close encounters while swimming right off the shore. An endangered Monk Seal spent the good part of one day resting on the beach. This brought three conservation biologists to the property and we got to learn all about the Monk Seal (and the resident turtles). This was an unexpected and memorable experience for our family.
The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the pool and hot tub are impeccably clean. It is a quiet property. We found the community of people there to be delightful and the whole vibe mellow and welcoming. This is not a big resort! If you are looking for activity and night life, this isn't the place. We have kids, but were thankful to be somewhere without many kids (quiet).
There were a couple downsides to the condo, but they would not keep me from going back again.... and again! The bedroom is on the street side and it does get loud. There is no AC, which is generally fine because the breeze is enough to cool the condo. However, at night it all becomes a little problematic. The street noise is too loud to sleep comfortably with the windows open, and it gets too hot to sleep when the windows are closed. Thankfully, we were all so tired from swimming all day, that once we were asleep, it didn't much matter. And, the host provides fans and a white noise speaker, which helped a lot with both the noise and the heat. The toilet/bath part of the bathroom is super small. It was not an issue for us, but it could be an issue for someone with mobility issues.
All in all, this is one of the best places we've ever stayed and we can't wait to return!

This condo is not what they say it is. It is very basic. I knew that there was no air-conditioning but Did not realize how hot it would be inside the condo. That's on me. The washer and dryer inside the unit had a sign on it asking us not to use it. The owner of solution was that I go to another building and use his other unit. I'm not doing that.

The oceanfront views from the lanai were amazing - we watched the whales and the sunsets everyday! We were so close to the ocean, loved falling asleep to the waves. The grass area and secluded beach were fantastic too, we even had turtles sunbathing some days!

First time on Maui, and this was the perfect slice of heaven to enjoy it with.
Place is beautiful, stocked with all you need and the view is simply beyond words. Beach right in front is a treat,
as well as There are amazing public beaches right by.
we watched whales and turtles nightly. We made no set plans and every morning, with kona coffee in our blood we explored.
Thank you again for sharing your lovely place and creating some amazing memories for us to take with us back to Seattle

What a great spot! The condo is nice and big. Bigger than the pictures display. The view is simply the best! The Hale Mahina is a nice, quiet spot. Perfect for young Families who want to keep away from the tourist destinations. Access to the beach, chairs and pool are only a few steps away! Everyday there was at least one turtle on the beach, and you can spot one swimming with you in the ocean. We vacationed as a Family of four. There was a pack n play for our 7 month old and our toddler slept on the pull out in the living room. There is an elevator which helped us get all our beach stuff up and down. We could watch the whales from the balcony! I was able to get great pictures of them playing! We loved our stay here. And can't wait to come back again!!!

We enjoyed our stay in your condo. It was spotless upon our arrival. It was very late at night when we arrived, so it was great to wake up to the beautiful view of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable, as was the living room furniture as well. The lanai was generous in size with nice quality furnishings. It was so convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The kitchen was tastefully updated and well stocked with just about anything you could need. The only complaint was the noise in the bedroom at night, but we discovered that closing the heavy drapes eliminated most of this. I highly recommend this condo. Michael and Rose were very pleasant to deal with.

Beautiful, clean 1 bedroom condo with nice small, private beach access. Nice kitchen and bedroom, small bathroom, and no A/C, but good cross ventilation. View looking west for wonderful view of sunsets. Area has large numbers of turtles, good reef for snorkeling and paddle boarding. This property will be on our list for future stays on Maui.

The property was immaculate and the location was the best. As others have said there is some road noise at night but you soon get used to it. The owner is really great to work with as well as the property manager Larry. The unit is well stocked and we loved having coffee for the morning, as we got in late. Great place to walk and the beach was the best around. The turtles came up on the beach almost daily. We just hung out there a lot as it was so much fun. Planning our next trip.

We stayed at Hale Mahina the week prior to Thanksgiving. The accommodations were as portrayed in the add. Unit was clean, well maintained and had everything you need to make your vacation relaxing. The view from the unit was fabulous. Having a drink and listening to the ocean was the best. We did see turtles as well on the beach. This location is close to numerous attractions and you are able to walk to stores with ease. Thanks for the time in this piece of Maui!

We had a wonderful week at Hale Mahina A206. The private beach was fantastic! The condo was clean, attractive and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable but there was quite a bit of road noise until late at night. We loved being away from the big resorts. The sunsets were breathtaking and seeing a seaturtle swim by was pretty exciting. We'd definitely rent this condo again; we didn't want to leave. Michael, thanks for sharing your little corner of paradise!
