Property was better than advertised! They have thought of everything, we have never been to a better equipped rental. The condo was immaculately clean and the view from the lanai was spectacular. We were treated to rainbows over Molokai, the sound of ocean waves crashing outside our door every night and too many sea turtles cruising the shore to count.
Beth was very helpful with communications and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.
Thank you for a great stay! Mahalo!!!

This place was amazing. Clean had everything we needed for our stay. Beth was amazing with accommodating us when flights were cancelled. Would definitely rent again for another vacation

Beth's place is just exactly as described and pictured. The elevator and flooring had me thinking "Oh no, this is not good". so that part could really use some TLC. When we opened the door and walked in, it was awesome!! Clean, updated, the view and beach front is exactly what you want for a relaxing vacation. I would have been happy to just stay there and only do a few store runs and a little sight seeing. After all that's why we went there. Beth has everything you can imagine and need in the complete condo. Awesome place!!

Amazing property!! Exactly like the description. The condo was very clean and the amenities are top notch. I really appreciate that there were beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and more. The view is amazing. I can’t think of one bad thing about this place!!
The owners are very easy to communicate with and the check in process was easy!
I loved that there was access to the pool and beach. The only sad part was that we had to go home.
I highly recommend this condo. Such a hidden gem!!

This is the most incredible place! We had the time of our life. All Beth’s recommendations were amazing- the snorkel store, farmers market and deli, the suggested beaches, and walks. All in, this was our best family vacation ever! Many thanks for John and Beth’s hospitality and for offering your place so we can make such amazing memories.

Very peaceful private beach within close driving distance to many restaurants and sightseeing attractions. Owner of property was very easy to work with.

We were satisfied with the property, and it was clean and the owners were very responsive. But in no way should this be described as a penthouse, or a premium property. The location is excellent! Right on the ocean, and located in the part of Maui that is the best place to stay, IMO. The condo was clean and well stocked. The owners go to great lengths to make sure guests have the extras needed to enjoy their vacation. In all, our experience was very good.
However, I do think it is important to give reasonable and accurate reviews, and there are several reasons why I don’t consider this premium. First, this is an older unit with older appliances and furnishings. The downstairs bedroom mattress was, IMO, FAR too soft. I slept upstairs and the mattress was acceptable, but not premium in any way. The unit has no AC, which is disclosed. Not a problem for us in early May, and I suspect it’s fine year round. But it can get a little warm. The breeze is amazing, and sleeping to the sounds of the ocean was wonderful.
The complex only allows smoking in the parking lot. There are a few chairs there, but it seems that they could arrange the far North part of the beach to allow guests to enjoy a cigar there in the evening. Could be a pro or a con, depending on the individual.
Overall our stay was nice, and I would recommend the unit for most folks. But I would think most would agree that the only thing premium is the location, and the thoughtfulness and attention given by owner

This property was spacious, updated, well-located and had everything you need. Whale-watching right from the lanai on the top level was amazing. Of course we did adventure, but you don’t even really have to go anywhere to enjoy your holiday from Hale Mahina. Just perfect! Mahalo!

We had a wonderful stay in Maui at this condo. Everything was as advertised in the listing. The beach and pool/hot tub area is great. Small and personable, everyone was friendly. Saw lots of whales. The condo had little extras in case you forgot something, like bandaids:)

We searched several islands and nothing ever felt like the place or vibe we were looking for from being outdated, too expensive, or not beachfront. This gem was the last one we found and it was a blessing. You can hear the waves from every room! Sea turtles greeted us every day, and you can see the Humpback whales out in the distance showing off for you. Great location and walking distance to anything you need. Don't be surprised to be greeted with double rainbows from the front of the condo at times! Felt like home with the Hawaiian vibe we were looking for - thank you! Oh and the owners are great. Everything is so easy from communication to anticipating your needs!

What a lovely place. We have stayed at this location before but in a different unit. This one was just as lovely as the last and so well stocked. My son forgot his toothbrush and toothpaste and they had a wonderful “supplies” pack for people just like us. The kitchen was well stocked, everything was spotless and the welcome book was nicely done. Snorkeling off the beach out our back door once again was such a treat! Sea turtles and tropical fish made for a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I hesitate to rave about this place because then it might not be as available. This location is the best place to stay in Maui. Great location. Amazing views from the patio. And what can I say about the little beach and the private lawn and pool. Amazing!!!! Turtles on the beach everyday and dozens in the water. Beth did a good job communicating and the property was exactly as described.

Our stay was so nice! The condo is right on the beach and was very clean and comfortable. We made fast friends with others who were staying in the same complex. I highly recommend staying here and would surely book again. Lovely, lovely location!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our first time in Maui. The condo was spotless, the beds very comfortable (not so much the pull out bed/sofa but I don’t think I’ve ever slept on a comfortable pullout). Plenty of towels and we appreciated all the extra pillows too. The kitchen is stocked with everything to make whatever you want with ease. The view and ocean right in front of you make it hard to leave!
Mahalo! Til next time Maui.

Very nice property
May 2022
The property is even better than advertised. Plenty of room for 4 adults. Best part was the private beach with plenty of snorkeling and swimming with the turtles. It is conveniently located to Kaanapali and Lahaina. A couple of suggestions, if you plan to snorkel you can rent the gear from The Snorkel Store. The Food Trucks have a good food selection and the ABC Store has really good Prime Rib
We will definitely stay there again on our next Maui Vacation

We enjoyed a fantastic time in this piece of paradise. We have stayed at Hale Mahina several times and this unit is definitely one of the best kept and functional units. Comfortable accommodation and beautiful décor. Very well supplied with everything you might need: from towels for swimming and bathing; kitchen loaded with all appliances and kitchenware, spices and so forth; beach toys; board games; even a sewing kit which I really appreciated. The owners said only to bring personal items as they provide the rest: this was very true. Communication with the owners are excellent; they reach out and are very helpful and quick in responding.
This property is very well located and provides so much on your doorstep, that you can do all right there: from swimming in the pool, sun bathing on loungers, enjoying the waves, snorkeling, paddle boarding and boogey boarding. As the pool area and beach is only accessible from a few blocks of units, it provides a quiet, relaxing, family oriented setting. especially around the BBQ's there is always happy mingling.
The beautiful and well kept garden is a joy to experience every day. Cleanest swimming pool in Maui due to huge effort everyday from residential property manager. The most beautiful sunsets; everyday different and more beautiful as the previous day. We even enjoyed a few beautiful moonlit nights. An absolute treat to experience the turtles swimming next to you or baking out on the beach in the sun. Even had a monk seal on the beach one day and saw whales playing every day.
Truly a piece of paradise!!

This property is in a great location. It was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Balcony has a great view to watch the sunset. It has its own nice beach that have turtles who come up on the sand to rest. Also put your snorkel gear on and watch the turtles swim and feed in the ocean. There is a nice pool(cleanest pool I have seen at a vrbo) with a hot tub. A nice lawn area to read or sun tan. It is close to shops, restaurants, hiking trails etc… Our family had a great time.

Perfectly located condo with everything you need to enjoy Maui. My Family of four enjoyed the week so much that we booked another week before leaving, which made saying goodbye a little more bearable.

Very nice private beach area and pool. Close to shops and many activities not too far. Couldn’t have asked for more. Would definitely stay there again!! It was an amazing vacation in Maui.

We loved this place so much! I was here with my husband and two teen boys. It was clean and tastefully decorated and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and all the fans made the temperature inside quite nice. You can't beat the view from the Lanai. It was a quiet condo and never had to fight anyone for a lounge chair. The small beach is private but a bit of a climb to get back up. A ladder or steps going down would be nice. Short walk to Bad Ass Coffee and Farmer's Market. Great places for coffee and açaí bowls. I can't wait to come back here.

We were on our honeymoon, but there were all ages of people staying at Hale Mahina and it was a good match for everyone. Very nice, spacious condo with an outstanding view over the private beach. The pool and hot tub were a great addition too. We will definitely be going back here at some point. Mrs. Kassis was a very helpful and welcoming host.

We had an amazing time in Maui. The condo is beautiful, beds are very comfortable, stocked with all the essentials and located right on the beach with outstanding views; we felt at home, not like we were staying in a hotel. We enjoyed watching the resident sea turtle who would warm himself on the beach every other day, stay overnight and return to the water the next day. There were always sea turtles swimming just feet off the beach every day & one day had a stingray, which was very cool. The entire property is lovely, beautifully manicured and a nice sandy beach to hang out on. You get fantastic sunsets from the condos patio or sitting in lawn chairs with a cocktail on the grass overlooking the beach. The condo is located so close small shops & food; we walked nearly every day to the farmers market, fish market or ABC store & rented snorkeling equipment at Boss Frogs which is right next to the farmers market. The fish market has outstanding tacos and also fresh sea food to cook yourself. The owners Beth & John could not be more fantastic; very responsive & so helpful. We plan to visit again some day & will definitely be staying in Beth & John's condo!

This is our second time at John and Beth’s penthouse suite. Incredible view. Ocean front. We leave the slider open and can hear the waves during the night. Love this place - Have already booked it for visit #3. You will not be disappointed. Clean, fresh, with all the amenities.

What a way to spend our first Christmas away from home. Beth made it very easy for us and was the perfect virtual host. She responded quickly when we had a question, and the condo advertised is exactly what you get if not better. The beachfront view is amazing. We've stayed and the Westin Villas and the Honua Kai up the road and had condos with ocean front views that don't even come close to the views you start to enjoy at A405 as soon as you walk through the door. The condo was clean, updated, comfortable, and a great layout. Perfect for my wife and I and two teens. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The beach was perfect and the so many turtles!!! There were 2-3 turtles on the beach resting every day. Amazing. And finally saw our first whale on Christmas day. And many more after that. Walking and access to amenities and restaurants was ideal. We went to the Farmers Market just about every day, walked up to the fish market for amazing fish tacos, and it was an easy walk to the Kaanapali beach boardwalk. The beach lounging area was also perfect. Never felt crowded and always had plenty of space to relax, throw the football, and enjoy the sun and views. I'm seriously a very picky traveler and high maintenance when it comes to my accommodations. We were not disappointed. We would highly recommend working with Beth. She was truly amazing and her pictures do not deceive. What you see is what you get. We can't wait for our next visit.

We had the most wonderful relaxing time at your condo, it was so clean and decorated so nice. We loved the open feeling of space and the view of the ocean was immeasurable, it was just perfect. My husband the cook, appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was. We enjoyed the beautiful views off your balcony or just looking out from the kitchen or living room and seeing that blue ocean and sky above. But especially the sunsets unbelievable we enjoyed them every night. We saw so many turtles off your private beach, either resting on the sand or in the water swimming by us. We can’t wait to come back and for sure we want to stay at your condo again. Thank you for opening up your home to guest like us.

This property was perfect for our family on our first trip to Maui! The location was great and the views from the condo were breathtaking! We considered staying in one of the large resorts, but we were so glad we stayed here-so peaceful, relaxed and not crowded at all. We checked out some of the larger beaches and all three of my kids (8, 11, and 14) adamantly preferred the 'private' little beach and pool at Hale Mahina-great for swimming, snorkeling, boogie boards, watching the sea turtles and relaxing. The condo was very comfortable for all, beautifully decorated and had every amenity you could need. Beth was great to work with and always readily available. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone!

We loved the place. Location was perfect, walking distance to the grocery stores / farmers market. Also short drive to great snorkeling beach. The private beach was the best part, we went all over the island and loved “our” beach the most because it was not crowded, gentle waves, you could swim, snorkel, boogie board , surf right there and of course turtles were pretty much always there . The apartment itself is very well stocked, kitchen had everything you could think of. We cooked most of our meals so it was nice to have good pans, sharp knives, various plates, containers, spices, etc. Everything was clean, Beth was always reachable via emal. I would definitely recommend this place.
