This property is awesome! Unit was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The complex is only two buildings, which helps limit the number of people around. Not having AC was not an issue. Host responded promptly to questions and was very easy to work with.
We watched whales and turtles from our lanai each day we were there. The view of the ocean from the lanai cannot be beat. You are very close to the ocean. The sand area of the beach is smaller but adequate. There is plenty of lawn space and beach chairs for everyone.

We used the condo as our base for exploring Maui. We very much enjoyed our stay. Our highlight was returning each evening to watch the sunset over the ocean from the balcony. The accommodations matched the listing. We appreciated having a washer and dryer in the unit and all of the beach gear available. We found the beach at the condo to be good for a quick dip in the evening but we would not spend all day there. The vibe of the pool and beach area is more adults just hanging out and we felt more comfortable going to nearby beaches to let our three and two year old enjoy themselves. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and if we are lucky enough to return to Maui we would look this place up to try to stay here again.

We enjoyed the stay a great deal. The setting is beautiful, and the visits by the turtles were an added bonus.

This condo was fabulous. Perfect for our daughters honeymoon. Close to everything. Turtles every day on the beach and in the water. This complex is our go to every time we visit Maui

The best part about the property are the amazing views of the beach and sunsets. Turtles come all the time and just lie on the beach. It’s a small private beach which is great as well. The unit does not have air conditioning but that didn’t bother us at all, the unit has plenty of great air circulation and the weather is great all year round. The unit was very clean wen well stocked. The beach can be a little rocky inside the water so keep that in mind but has some grear fish for snorkelling. Watched people head out a bit further and conveniently surf as well. Would definitely stay again. Communication and access to the property was extremely smooth as well.

We loved this condo - the view and whale/dolphin/turtle watching were amazing! The condo has everything you need and we loved being so close to the water. We used the sofa bed and it was very comfortable. Every afternoon two or three turtles came up to rest on the beach and weren't bothered at all by the people, who fortunately kept their distance. It's a very pretty, small property with a very nice pool and hot tub. There were plenty of lounge chairs to sit on the lawn right next to the beach. It's a nice swimming beach and the snorkeling is pretty good. You will usually see turtles and there's a fair amount of fish over by the rocks to the right of the beach. We snorkeled twice and it was kind of murky, even when the water appeared calm, but it was nice to be able to snorkel right off the beach - we weren't really expecting that. Snorkeling might be better in the summer. We found great snorkeling in nearby Napili Bay (right side), Wailea area in South Maui and Honolua Bay to the north. We also highly recommend PacWhale Eco Adventures for a whale watching trip - it was fantastic and the guides very knowledgeable. Communication was very easy with the condo owner and the other residents/guests were friendly. The hibiscus on the property are amazing - colors I've never seen anywhere else. Would definitely stay there again! Maui is more expensive than ever, but there are a few great happy hour places - both MonkeyPod locations (Whaler's Village and Wailea), Sea House restaurant at Napili Bay and Beach House Bar & Grill on the Sands of Kahana property. All are close to the condo except the Wailea MonkeyPod location.

We did like this property very much! The view from the lanai area was great & so loved hearing the sound of the ocean when we slept. All was good in kitchen except 1 fry pan(medium sized) had a bit of rust?/grease? on it. Towels were awesome for size and we found entry to place easy access for us! Elevator close @ hand good & quiet neighbors. The only issue we had was the stairs as both of fell even though we had treads on our flip flops. There was an instant light that alerted us to steps but this was our 1st time in a condo where we should have more diligent in where we were walking. Loved the drawers for storage!
Didn't know bbq was charcoal only, maybe we didn't read that part of the guide book.
We were glad to be in the area.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here. The location, the view from the balcony was all just amazing. Seeing the turtles and seals come up on the beach was very exciting to watch. We also were treated to a whale show from our balcony which was a real treat. If we go back to Maui, we would definitely love to stay here again.

We had beautiful views and loved our time on the lanai. The condo does not have a/c, but there are many fans that keep air circulating. It was nice to have access to the beach, however it did wash away part way through our stay due to strong tides. The turtles were fun to watch both in the water and on the beach! The condo is located within a short drive of many attractions. It was a great, relaxing get away!

This condo is absolutely amazing. The view is breathtaking (we saw so many turtles every day and the sunsets, oh my gosh). The little beach right in front it perfect. The pool/hot tub are right in front of the ocean so you don’t have to miss out on the views in their either. Don’t let the no ac scare you away, especially during the fall months. It was so breezy and I was rarely ever too warm, the sleeping with the fans made it super comfortable.
Condo has everything you need for cooking and all other needs. Complex is very quiet and relaxing. Will be back again!

This unit was perfect for us. It had all that we needed for our 10 day stay. It was clean and comfortable. The property/complex was well-maintained and everyone we met was very welcoming and friendly. It's important to know that the unit is not air-conditioned and it got very hot in the late afternoon between 4 and 6 pm; however, it cooled down for watching the sunset from the balcony. Also, the beach access is difficult when the ocean swells come from the south. We saw a full rainbow over the water one morning, several sea turtles in the afternoon, and even a monk seal playing in the surf one day. Overall, a great place to stay and we would definitely return.

This is what I remember as a kid! This place is a piece of heaven in Maui! This is one of the few places still like it in Maui. Amazing amazing amazing! Private beach, snorkeling right outside of property! We saw so many turtles and fish. The condo was amazing and some perks that the condo came with snorkeling and beach gear. You won’t regret this place! We loved our stay and planning on coming back next year. There I no ac but if you open the doors and windows the air blows right through. Overall amazing!

We had a wonderful time at this condo. It was very clean and just as described. The view was absolutely amazing, and we were able to see several sea turtles right from our balcony. The pool and hot tub were not busy at all, which was nice coming from a crowded resort! There were always plenty of lounge chairs to lay out on as well. There was no AC (which we knew going into the trip) but there were plenty of fans to help keep the room cool at night. We were outside most days, so it wasn’t an issue for us. Would definitely recommend this property!

The condo is in a beautiful location with panoramic views and stunning sunsets. There is a sandy beach a few feet away with gentle waves perfect for snorkeling
The Manager’s wife accosted us within 5 minutes of arrival regarding our “group”reservations. This was a family vacation for which we rented four condos. I’ve stayed at Hale Mahina several times with family and had no problems but this time we had children with us and the manager targeted his reprimands on them if they laughed too loudly in the pool or played catch with a nerf football in the grass area.
The condo was very nice and aptly supplied for our stay.

This was our favorite! We stayed in 3 Vrbo’s on Maui and while they were all exceptional, this one took the win. Nice grassy lounge area, small beach away from the crowds, lots of turtles, central location to various beaches for our morning snorkeling trips. Washer/dryer in unit. AC would be nice but you will get a good cross breeze with both doors open and there is a ceiling fan and portable cooling fan in the bedroom. Can’t wait to revisit during whale season.

We were very pleased with our stay in Honokowai. Loved dining with ocean views, convenient to beaches and shopping, close to but not in the midst of the hustle-bustle of Lahaina. The unit had all we needed, the owner was very accommodating. Great jumping off point for Haleakala NP (must see!), O’o Farm (ditto!), Road to Hana (waterfalls!). Turtles ! Mahalo and Aloha!

We had a lovely stay in Maui and Rebecca was an amazing hostess. We enjoyed waking up everyday and taking in the gorgeous ocean views from the lanai. The unit was well equipped and spacious enough for my husband and I. It did get rather warm later in the day with the sun coming in from the West and no air conditioning. The bathroom has no airflow and there’s a bit of road noise in the bedroom with the windows open. These were minor inconveniences however and we definitely enjoyed our trip.
For others planning activities, hiking at Haleakalā State Park and sunset at the summit was our favorite. Getting reservations for sunrise was too difficult and we wanted to pick a good day for the weather. We also enjoyed hiking the Pipiwai trail on the Road to Hana, although we found parking to be problematic at many of the scenic sites along the drive. We used the Gypsy app which was helpful for navigation. Keep in mind, reservations are also required well in advance at Waianapanapa State Park for the black beach which we missed. Kimo’s and Lahaina Pizza Co we’re our favorite restaurants. We also enjoyed strolling Banyan Tree Park and Front Street with all the various shops.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful from
start to finish: great communication from our host, easy check in, comfortable beds, nice towels and linens, initial paper products provided, basically all the details other hosts can sometimes overlook. Then add that the ocean breeze, views, and beach here make this place magical. The location is incredible! We LOVED watching the sunset every night and falling asleep to the lull of ocean waves right outside our door. The complex is well cared for. Our host was kind and easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. We only wish we didn’t have to leave! Mahalo for a wonderful week in paradise.

We absolutely loved staying here on our first trip to Maui. Check in was super simple and the unit is well stocked. We loved watching for whales on the patio, grilling down by the ocean, and relaxing in the hot tub. We cannot get over how amazing the views are in the unit and on this property. There was also at least one sea turtle every day on the beach out front which was also really fun to see. We thought the location was great, only about 10-15 minutes from both Lahaina and Kapalua. I highly recommend this property!! We will definitely come back!!

It was very well maintained and good size. Had all items needed to stay and be comfortable. Being right on the beach with an unobstructed view of the ocean and beach was great. Even with it raining, sitting on the deck was very enjoyable watching and listening to the waves. We would definitely consider coming back again. Thanks

You'll love this condo and the resort that it is within. Very quiet condo and it is very safe. Most of the guests that we met had been returning here for years or were owners. The beach out front is very safe and we experienced a lot of turtle activity. On most nights there was a pair of turtles who slept on the beach at the resort and then we would watch them return to the ocean while drinking our morning coffee. Snorkeling is worth doing right in front of the condo. There is a shallow sandy area to walk out into the ocean, but there are reefs on either side. Beautiful fish, eels, and turtles call the reefs home. About a half mile north is a park and we would drive up and snorkel down to the condo.
You just need to remember to take your key with you. The gate to the condo is always locked going in and out.
The sunsets are priceless. You won't see sunsets like these from other points on the west side of Maui. We stayed in Kihea and though the skyline turned various colors, you can't see the actual sun set because the topography blocks the view. From A303, the sun sets right at the tip of the island of Molokia.
Everyday, the guests go out and set up their lounge chairs to enjoy the pool, hot tub, and the ocean. In the evening, everyone returns with their favorite beverage to watch the sunset together. It was wonderful to mingle during these breathtaking sunsets. Once it becomes dark, the resort becomes very quiet.
If you enjoy more nightlife just head down to Lahaina. There is plenty of action going on there.
We ate most of our meals at the condo sitting out on the lanai. There is a fish market just down the road. We would purchase the catch of the day and then fix a salad. We also bought their poke and had it on rice with avocado. It was delicious!, They also have great fish tacos and clam chowder. We made our own Mai Tai every evening for the sunsets or had our favorite wine. Really helps save on expenses. Maui is expensive. For example, a poke meal costs about $18. We bought a tub of poke for $16 and it served three adults and we had leftovers the next day for lunch.
If you like to take long walks on the beach, this is not the location for you. The resort beach is small. It is perfect for swimming and snorkeling. A few guests would paddleboard and surf.
However, Kannapali beach is just down the road and you can walk for a long time there, plus there is a boardwalk. We loved the resort and will come back here.

We were on the third story and had a great balcony. We watched 8 sunsets in a row there. We could see a sea turtle or two each day come ashore on the beach to rest for a few hours! Amazing beach for the people who stay/live there. Great snorkeling also. Very quiet, had a parking spot included, felt safe and had everything we needed. There were beach towels, chairs, swimming noodles, snorkeling and flippers available. It was awesome! Highly recommend!

This beautifully clean, peaceful and comfortable condo was everything we were looking for! It is very spacious and has very nice personal touches with a view that cannot be beat! The grass and beach down below is a wonderful area to lay out, and great snorkeling right off the beach in shallow and mostly calm water. TURTLES EVERY SINGLE DAY!! They come right up onto the beach and are very easy to see and appreciate (From a distance of course). They provided beach towels, snorkel gear (+fins), ice chests, beach umbrella, boogie boards, sand castle equipment, brita filter, and helpful books and magazines for ideas of things to do. I highly recommend the food trucks down the street for a quick meal. The location makes it very convenient to go up to Napili, Kapalua, and Honolua Bay. And just as easy to go down to Kaanapali, and Lahaina. Everything here is five stars! Would stay again in a heart beat!

Very nice condo, well supplied. Smaller unit, so would recommend this for a couple. Look around…beach chairs, boogie boards, noodles, umbrella are in the bedroom closet. Big newer fridge. Small lanai, but perfect for 2. Ceiling fans in living room and bedroom, multiple floor fans. Leave the front door open and the breeze (wind) will blow right through. Watch for the sea turtles on the beach, we saw them almost every day. Easy access to many beaches, Whalers Village, Lahaina. Large grocery (Times) nearby with decent prices, glad we didn’t bother with Costco this trip.

Our stay here was nothing short of wonderful. The condo is clean, spacious, nicely furnished and well equipped with everything we needed for a magical stay in Maui. Beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, towels and more were available so we didn’t have to purchase them to lug back home. The kitchen had everything we needed for when we wanted to prepare meals. My favorite little touch was the Brita pitcher in the fridge. Instead of buying cases of bottled water for our stay we picked up a new filter instead and always had fresh drinking water. The beds provided a restful sleeps for our entire family. My husband suffers from neck pains and slept surprisingly well either on the sofa bed or bedroom. It is conveniently located a short drive to all the best spots in Lahaina like Whaler’s Village and the bustling Front St. Our family enjoyed the sparkling pool and the private beach made it hard to want to explore any others. Sunsets from the lanai are breathtaking and often accompanied by sea turtles coming up to shore. Rebecca was a gracious host and we’re so thankful to her for sharing this beautiful condo. Would highly recommend and definitely want to go back!

This is a lovely, spacious condo that is well-furnished and stocked. The owner is responsive and clearly wants you to have a good stay. You have beautiful sunset views, a bedroom that always feels cool even on hot days, and a large lanai. The condo community is peaceful with. a small, quiet beach and well-maintained grounds, pool, and hot tub. Only negative is it is located outside of convenient walking distance to the resort areas or Lahaina and the neighborhood itself is not super conducive to morning strolls. However, the condo more than makes up for that - it is beautiful!

An amazing 7 days in this wonderful ocean front condo was more than we could have imagined it would be. The pictures on the site do not do justice to the beauty of the location. The owner Rebecca provides you with everything you need to have a great stay. The location of this condo is perfectly situated for relaxing and close to attractions at Kaanapali and Lahaina. You can snorkel, boogie board, ride a rented paddle or surf board right from the condo's beach. We saw at least 15 Hawaiian Sea Turtles during our stay and witnessed at least 5 come onto the beach (very cool). I only wish we could have stayed longer but alas we had to return to the mainland. Our memories of our stay in Hale Mahina 303 will not be forgotten as we wait patiently to return, hopefully during the whale migration season time. Mahalo, Rebecca for providing me and my wife a wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary and visiting this wonderful paradise called Maui.

Excellent stay at the Hale Mahina #303A. Condo was delightful, everything we needed and then some! Loved the decor, wall art was tasteful and simplistically classy, furniture very comfortable and never had a bad night's sleep. (great wave machine & fans in BR to counterbalance traffic noise) Really appreciated the wash/dry as lighter packing for our 2 wk stay. Her cleaning staff does an excellent job to make it spotless for new guests. The grounds were beautifully planted and maintained. Mr Larry the caretaker really works hard to assure guests have clean beautiful surroundings to enjoy the beach and honu sunning themselves in the sand and swimming with them was a cool bonus. He also runs a "tight ship" ensuring that guests respect common spaces for all to enjoy. Rebecca is the most caring and attentive host (a rarity) I've ever worked with who really cares about her guests and meeting their needs. Too many "bests" to list but lazing on the lanai in comfortable chairs taking in the sunset each night was the perfect end to the day. Next visit will be for a month or more as one could EASILY live at Rebecca's and never tire of surroundings!

Great condo! Turtles, whales and tons of beach time. Condo is as advertised. Rebecca is great to work with. Sad to leave.

Rebecca was very good to see that all went well during our stay.
The condo was equipped with beach towels/toys, chairs, linens, and a well stocked kitchen .
The grounds are beautiful, nice lawn area, small pocket beach.
The surf is a nice soothing sound, hubby found it perfect for SUP surfing and there's secure storage for the board.
Loved the lanai, the bar height table set and one lounge seat, perfect for us, the view AMAZING.
Whales just off shore, turtles come on to the beach to rest, and plenty of human activity on the water and beach.
Location location location. The Farmers Market and Times for grocery shopping, also a nice selection of restaurants within walking distance.
Looking forward to our next vacation, plan to stay here again.

Thank you, Rebecca for sharing your beautiful condo with my husband and I for the week. We enjoyed dining on the lanai every morning and several evenings. In fact, we spent most of our time out there just enjoying the view. The condo had everything we needed and more. The outdoor area is very nice and has plenty of lounge chairs.
This condo truly made our stay on Maui perfect. We will definitely stay here again.
Note: Rebecca was great to respond to messages and made sure our visit was perfect.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. Rebecca was great to work with before and during our stay, even checked in while we were there. Would recommend this condo! The view from the minute you walk in, is exactly like the pictures! People staying there, as well as the grounds staff were very friendly! Hope we get the chance to come back! Thanks again Rebecca!

Rebecca thank you so much for your communication and response to my emails, you worked with me on some date changes with great ease and I appreciate that very much! This was a much needed family trip and our stay in the condo made it that much better! Everything worked great and I have to say that the wave sound machine in the bedroom was a terrific solution to the road noise. We enjoyed cooking in the well furnished condo and also being close enough to the stores and restaurants if we needed to get out. The Farmer's Market and grocery store are a super close walk from the condo and good for those last minute grocery needs. Try their smoothies!
In conclusion I just want to say thank you for furnishing the condo to cover all of our needs, we had an amazing stay!

We stayed at Rebecca's place from June 27 to July 4. Originally our stay was later but due to a new job, she was able to move our dates earlier which was really gracious and accommodating.
The condo is on the third floor and the perfect size for 2 people.
Parking - open lot, use the placard left for you when you arrive
Pool - small but serviceable, hot tub also, plenty of beach towels available
Beach - large grassy area but not much shade, there is a sun umbrella that we used to help out, the sand is nice and not too rocky, the surf can be harsh - be careful!!! and don't take the lounge chairs onto the sand, bldg mgmt frowns upon that, use the chairs in closet if you want to be on the sand
Bathroom - great water pressure, plenty of hot water
Bedroom - bed was very comfy, sorta small (we are 5'1 & 5'8 and just fit), sheets smooth and cool, wifi sometimes iffy in the back, nice ceiling fan to keep the breezes going, plenty of closet space to hang your stuff and there are a lot of beach chairs/toys in that closet
Kitchen - had everything we needed to cook simple meals, great knives!
Living/Dining Rm- comfortable furniture, tv and dvd player works fine, amazing views, even the sofa bed was comfortable
Patio - great views of the ocean and the sunsets, one can never tire from all that gorgeousness
Bonus - washer and dryer by the bathroom, detergent in cupboard under sink in bathroom
The only con I would say is the garbage room which happens to be right outside the bedroom window. (no smell) There is a sign on it that says use only from 8am to 10pm but nobody reads it and they use it at all hours from 6am to midnight and the door is loud and if you are a light sleeper then you may need earplugs.
Other than that, it's a great condo to stay in! Easy access to Lahaina and all of the west coast beaches. There is a supermarket right down the street and plenty of places to eat that you can walk to!

This condo is at the perfect location. You can't get any closer to the water. Well maintained condo and grounds, pool or beach was never crowded. We kept seeing sea turtles constantly swim by the shore. Our kids loved the pool and the sandy beach. Close to shops, restaurants and other great beaches. Rebecca was great to deal with, she always replied to my emails quickly and she is an absolute sweetheart. Thank you for your hospitality Rebecca!
