My overall impression was that the view was spectacular. The Condo could be a little more updated, but for the price, it was comfortable.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. We came with a large group and overall we rented 4 units in the complex. This unit is very spacious and you can’t complain about being literally 20 feet from the ocean. The lanai is wonderful and the overall set up of the unit is very good.
However, you need to come to the place with the understanding that the accommodations aren’t going to be confused for the Ritz. When we arrived, everything was clean and the couches and beds very comfortable.
However, there seems to be minimal effort to keep maintenance up. Tiles were cracked, screen doors didn’t close, there was exactly one kitchen towel for us to use, etc.
We aren’t a high maintenance family so these things didn’t bother us, but I can certainly see them bothering other families. A little more effort by the management company would raise the enjoyment of the place exponentially.
The ocean access is great, bring snorkel gear as my kids saw turtles every day. The location is great as Maui Brewing and some other stores are walkable.
Overall this unit is a wonderful unit and the small complex and pool are very nice, just go into it with eyes wide open.

Home was exactly as described in the listing. Offering its almost private beach and pool. Everything within reach. The house was well apportioned and comfortably slept 5 of us each with their own bedroom and bathrooms. Kitchen had everything we needed to stay for a week.
Communication and check-in process was simple and the communication often and clear.
We have a wonderful time and hope to be back before too long. This is a definite return visit destination and stay location.

Stay here if you can be completely self sufficient. Don't rely on any of the amenities or perks provided by the host. Not enough dish soap or detergent. Only enough coffee for one day. Showers have low flow and mystery cracks that are probably causing more damage. Cracked tiles and uneven floors. Unsealed grout throughout - particularly the kitchen counters. GROSS! The list goes on. The inside needs a full refresh.
When I asked about the missing stroller that was listed on the description the host responded with
"cancel the remainder of your stay and move somewhere else".
Get a proper map for directions before you arrive. The directions given were unclear. Two different pool access codes listed.
Great view of the ocean and the HOA/Strata amenities are awesome. Parking, Pool, beach access.

While this unit is older and in need of some renos. It was clean and the location was amazing! Beach right off the deck!

The condo is in a beautiful location with a beach and pool. While older and not renovated, it vas very clean, comfortable, and had such an amazing view. The owner was very kind to work with us as our family got separated due to the fires. This is a gem of a place to stay.

Beautiful location, right on the ocean, beach right off the lanai. Great location to also explore other beaches in the area and close to Lahaina. Enjoyed the Old Lahaina Luau, best one on the islands. Plenty of room for our six adults and one infant to spread out.

For us this was a great location, away from the masses yet close enough to enjoy all the area offers. The ocean is literally steps away. Lots of whale watching from the deck. This home was comfortable, clean and stocked with quality cookware, tableware, utensils and appliances. Many restaurants and food trucks close by.

Very large, well equipped. Beautiful spot with private beach and lawn. Yes, it is a bit old (lights, AC not working, but the bottom line is that we would come back to enjoy the condo, without any reservation.

We had a great week in this spacious, well laid out townhouse. The deck and view are amazing. Kitchen was very well stocked with pots/pans/Tupperware, ample dishes, a quiet Bosch dishwasher and large microwave. Lots of fluffy white towels and beach towels.
Comfy beds!

The title says it all, you stay here for the location. The lanai is just incredible. As others have said, the house is a bit dated as far as floors/walls go. However the couches are comfy (different than the listing pic), the beds were good, decent water pressure, and having a washer/dryer was great. The proximity to the water is dreamy. Plenty of room for our group of 8.
Issues we had were: the refrigerator never got cold even after a week and we had several hundred dollars worth of food spoil. The contact said he'd send someone to fix it but never did. No extra sheets/pillows for the air mattress. (Air mattress itself was a very nice extra high queen size though.)
I would consider staying here again but would plan on only using the freezer as a fridge and coolers for food. It was just tremendously disappointing to lose so much food.

I am going to start by saying that when we showed up to check in the place had not been cleaned yet. I called the owner and he got the cleaning company there in like 20-30 minutes. The condo is older there are some upgrades like the appliances, beds, and TV's. It does need some other upgrades throughout. It is pretty outdated. I did have to fix the sliding glass door it was off the track. The Condo could use a little TLC. Its listed as have 3 beds but it has 4 and does come with a really nice air mattress.
Pros- The Condo is spacious plenty of room for a big family
Its a super quiet complex, the view is spectacular, the pool was nice, the ocean is right outside, shopping and restaurant's are super close, its close to beautiful beaches, really easy to find, plenty of boogey boards, snorkel gear, books, games.
Cons- Its a good drive from the airport about an hour, all the screens need to be replaced, ceiling fan in dining room didn't work, the ceiling fan in front bedroom had a loose fan blade, the middle bedrooms door handle was coming off, the bathroom sink in the middle room leaked, cracked an uneven tiles throughout condo, the air filters in the all the air conditioners need to be changed, electrical outlets where coming off (could be a fire hazard), the shower in the master room is really weird it points directly sideways, the shower drains really slow. The beach isn't that great of a swim beach its really rocky and shallow.
Even with all that being said these are minor things that could be fixed very easily.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Most of the prior comments are accurate. We would have given 5 stars as this property is accurately advertised and fairly priced. However, there were a few issues when we arrived that we wanted to have addressed right away. We left a message for the management company immediately after arriving and again around 1pm the second day. We also texted the owner (he responded fairly quickly) who said he would get in touch with them, but advised they were short-staffed. We stayed 6 nights and never heard back from either the management company or the owner. Luckily we were able to work around the problems, but it made our stay less convenient. I understand that labor shortages are a real problem, but that is no excuse for completely ignoring us for 6 days.
Pros - amazing views, comfortable beds, price, good set up for children (this could be a con for childless travelers like us - there were a ton of kids in the pool when we arrived)
Cons - too much stuff stored on lanai, no way to get help with issues on property, guests in nearby unit were partying way past 10pm quiet hour and with the old windows it was very hard to sleep, screen doors on lanai in bad shape and won’t stay on track, two bathrooms had no place to hang wet towels (one had a towel bar that just needed to be rehung but we didn’t have an allen wrench) bathroom lights turned off intermittently and wouldn’t turn back on, we were unable to reset the safe so had to carry valuables with us

The property outside the unit is beautiful, very clean, & has the best view! However, and the unit itself isn’t bad… very outdated but overall not bad. The problem is the communication with the owner once we arrived and noticed the master bedroom’s tv didn’t work I contacted owner and was given Chasin Rainbows as the contact for any maintenance issues. I called them on our 2nd day of our stay and left message. I called everyday and left messages until day 6 of our 9 day vacation. Was able to speak to someone at Chasin Rainbows only to be told that this unit was not managed by them. I was told this twice during 2 different conversations with them. Somehow a message was given to someone because late on day 6 a maintenance guy showed up looked at the tv and said he that he thought it was a burnt out cable and thought he had one in his truck. He left and we never saw or heard from him again. I sent a few texts to the owner after this and heard absolutely nothing back from him. If we travel back to Maui, we 100% would stay at this complex but would for sure rent from another owner.

Pros: spacious property (looks better than pics posted online), beach front, located close to beautiful beaches, grocery store, Lahaina. Etc. Appreciated that there was a high chair for my baby and several pool and beach toys for my kiddos. Also having a washer/ dryer and BBQ area was beneficial!
Cons: a little outdated, cleanliness of property could have been better. Dead cockroach underneath bathroom sink, dusty ceiling fans and nightstands. Tip: bring your own trash bags and sponge because property does not include.

Cleanliness I'd expect to be above and beyond cause of covid. Definitely not. Huge hairballs and garbage under bed. Side of frig solid dust. Doors don't shut right. Sliders don't work. Off track. Towel bars off wall. Cheap knives are breaking when cutting steak. Like the door lock system. Needs baby gate for stairs off lanai. We'll stocked kitchen. Ran outta paper towels. Not enough laundry soap. Washer sounds like an airplane is taking off. Freezer has ice build up so freezer door won't shut easily.

We enjoyed the lodging that included 3 Bedrooms and 3 Bathrooms. One of the bedrooms was smaller than the other two but was not a problem for our group. Just something to keep in mind when splitting or choosing rooms. The location had a few walkable eateries and coffee shops to go to which was great. But just a short car ride south also brought you to the food trucks and a great small spot for some fresh poke. Washer and dryer was great at the location too.

We had such a wonder vacation. The kids loved the pool. It was a great place to stay for a family or larger group. I loved having views of the ocean. We could see whales in the distance and a couple turtles came up on the beach one night. It’s not the most updated, but everything important to us was updated. The beds and couches we’re comfortable. The appliances worked well and the grounds were well maintained. We would definitely stay there again. The beach towels were missing when we got there, but Randy had them dropped off within a day after I contacted him.

The pool is steps from the deck and the private beach is a few steps beyond that. Of course the beauty of Maui requires leaving the complex but the amenities at the doorstep, along with the spaciousness of the unit meant we were content hanging out.

Issues that were never addressed during our stay were two missing windows in a ground floor shower, the master bathroom’s primary light was inoperable, one bed frame that was broken & supported with scrap wood but leaning severely, three kitchen lights that were burnt out, no laundry shop provided despite listing “Basic Soaps” as included amenities and the ceiling fan in the main living area was inoperable.
With respect to Maui County, Code of Ordinances, § 19.65.080 1.c. & § 19.65.030 E.1. the owner didn’t respond for five hours the first time I texted him and it took him four days to respond to an internal email via VRBO. His maintenance staff took multiple days to arrive to address the issues above despite promising to come over with 24 hours. They arrived without warning about three days later and only addressed two burnt our light bulbs out of five that were inoperable in the kitchen.
With respect to Maui County, Code of Ordinances, § 19.65.080 1.g. and 1.f. the owner was alerted to the fact that two ground floor windows that accessed the second master bathroom’s shower had both of its windows missing. He dismissed the issue as “minor maintenance” and not something requiring his attention or a large enough problem to issue us any refund. The home’s building envelope was not intact and must be out of compliance with building codes, occupancy permit requirements and a host of other rules & regulations for short term rentals. We were at risk to anyone you wanted to gain access to our rental, voyeurs, and pests to list just a few potential problems.
Maui County, Code of Ordinances:
§ 19.65.080. Revocation and Enforcement.
Revocation procedures.
1. The permit may be revoked if the director finds any of the following:
c. Evidence of non-responsive management.
g. Noncompliance with permit conditions.
i. Noncompliance with other governmental requirements.
§ 19.65.030. Restrictions and standards.
E. The manager of the short-term rental home shall:
1. Be accessible to guests, neighbors, and County agencies. For purposes of this section, "accessible" means being able to answer the telephone at all times, being able to be physically present at the short-term rental home within one hour following a request by a guest, a neighbor, or a County agency, and having an office or residence within thirty driving miles.

This place was perfect for my family of mixed generations. Plenty of space for everyone to have together time as well as private time. The beach front lanai was our favorite hang out place. The photos on the website are a bit outdated. Some of the furniture in the place is newer than the vrbo shots. I was super pleased when we walked in and saw the place. The pictures don’t do it justice.
We would definitely come back!

I knew from the reviews that it needed TLC, so the cracked tile, doors for walls, and really outdated bathrooms were to be expected, but when you don't get a unit # and have to knock on doors asking neighbors if they know the owner, well I was lucky on the 2nd try. Why not call and get the number? I did, and texted, and emailed... no answer. Once inside it is spacious with an amazing view of the ocean. Went to the bathroom in the main bedroom and only one light switch worked giving us the equivalent of a nightlight of light. Called the property manager, being Sunday they were closed, called Monday, never got an answer back, so spent the week with a dark bathroom as we are early risers. Ceiling started to leak, again called and left emails, no answer. Communication is a must when your renting someone's property and there is major issues!

The location was perfect, we walked, took Ubers and rented a car for our family of 8. The condo was roomy snd we never felt cramped. I spent so much time on the lanai, on the grounds, and on the lovely beach. There was so much right there to enjoy. The kids swam everyday. The home was fully stocked. The ocean toys were perfect. The stroller was broken, it would have been nice to have one for the baby. Definitely had a vintage vib with the tile and deco. It was part of the Maui charm for us.

This property was lovely. Small beach to swim off of, beautiful sunsets and great grass area to relax. The house itself was very nice and clean. The master bath could use some updating but otherwise the house was lovely. Basic necessities for cooking were present. Very well stocked in terms of what you would need to cook meals. Would stay here again.

Paradise on earth aptly describes this lovely condo right on the water. It’s three bedroom, three bath layout perfectly accommodated our group. We were greeted by rainbows every morning and snorkeled in our very own turtle garden just steps from our lanaii. We’d happily come back again and again. Mahalo!

We loved the location and the views. The whole property around the home was great and well kept. The only thing that could be improved would be a little updating of the home itself, but it's close to a lot of amenities and great beaches. We would go back for sure.

This condo is literally on the beach. It has everything you need for a perfect vacation. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, plenty of room for our family to all have privacy. From the master bedroom you can see the ocean. The sunset from the lanai is amazing. The pool area has a bbq that we used multiple times. We went snorkeling every day, and saw turtles every day too.

This property really is about the location. The Lanai is less than 100 feet for the beach / ocean. The property is clean and the pictures are accurate for the property. From here everything on the west side of Maui is no more than a 20 minute drive.

If you’d like us you’re happy making your own fun and you don’t need a fancy resort.
This unit is really well placed on the water.
Pros-Close to the water and a small little beach nice pool nice grill couple of decent amenities nearby nice porch and kitchen the breeze is enough most days to keep cool. Nicer TV's
Cons- The window AC was hard to turn on and noisy in our bedroom. (I thing they are going to change it out next week for a new one) The master bedroom doesn’t have much privacy because it relies on a slider to the main family room and that slider doesn’t really close all the way.
There is no fan on the porch and the one over the dining room table doesn’t work properly. No AC there either just in bedrooms. Back bedroom is a bit dark.
Kahana is in great part of Maui but you will not be doing much there in Kahana. Great snorkeling At beaches nearby at Fleming and Honolua Bay. We actually did snorkel to everyone’s great surprise in Kahana but that’s because we had a inflatable paddleboard that we were able to take out to the second break in 18 feet out about 300 meters with a kayak anchor and because we are experienced free divers but most people will not get much out of the snorkeling right off the beach in Kahana.
Overall this townhouse was really great and an incredible deal for the cost if you’re willing to give up the big resort experience and put up with the rough edges and dated feel. Nice families stayed in the other units. BTW Bring your own toys and make your own fun or make sure you have all your bookings done months in advance we had a hard time getting bookings last minute to do things at least on our trip in the post Covid rush back to Hawaii

The house was in a good location with a small beach front area but you'd have to walk half a block down to access a nicer beach area. The house was overall comfortable but everything bout it was dated and old. The internet didn't work and the maintenance guy couldn't get it to work before we left. One of the A/C units didn't work because the buttons were mashed in. I give this place 5 stars for value and 3.5 stars overall. I would rent this place again IF I couldn't find a place with a similar price.

Couldn't have been a better time. Randy is a great host and everything(gate code, front door code, accommodations). My family all loved the openess and location to the ocean. We watched whales off the lani and enjoyed every minute of time we spent there. If Randy will have us back we will be there.

The property is situated in a perfect location away from the more touristy areas of Kapalua and Kaanapali, but still within easy reach of all the west coast beaches and towns. The property's lanai has wonderful views across the sea to the island of Molokai and we were able to watch the whales as they regularly passed between the property and the island. The property shares an excellent swimming pool and barbecue facility, and you only have to walk a few yards to the beach which is directly in front of the condo. We had a turtle turn up on the beach on two occasions. The property itself is large with 3 generously-sized bedrooms each with it's own bathroom. It was very clean and well-equiped but perhaps in need of a little updating in certain areas.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this oceanfront home. It literally is "oceanfront." At low tide, there is a little bit of a beach, but there are bigger beaches just a short drive away. The home itself was great. Kitchen was well appointed. TVs were good (watched baseball playoffs). Proximity to Lahaina (from which we did several excursions) (15 minutes) was good. The 3 bedrooms, each with their own bath, and each with their own AC unit, were more than adequate for the 3 couples in our group. The pool area was great and we used it every day, even in the rain. The pool itself is really nice, but the pool deck is going to need some work in the near future. (When they do the work, they will necessarily need to close the pool, so make sure that such is not the case when you rent it.) There are nice grills where we cooked 3 or 4 of our 7 nights there. We enjoyed watching sunset each evening from the deck overlooking the ocean and Molakai. I would say this home is worth the price. You won't regret it.

We absolutely loved our stay! It was such a comfortable place to call home base for a week. There were 6 of us in our group and all enjoyed plenty of space. It felt like home, as there were all the items I have in my kitchen. Stunning views off the lanai, turtles on the beach, and a clean place to stay - we couldn't have asked for more! Randy is great to work with and very responsive to all my questions. We will absolutely book here again!

First, the location of this condo is great. Right on the water with a little usable beach out front. The pool is right there and is very inviting on days when the beach isn't calling your name. The BBQ's are next to the pool and are very clean and in good working order. The condo itself is dated but is clean. We appreciated the boggie boards, beach towels and snorkel equipment. There are some maintenance issues with the condo that need to be addressed:loose tiles throughout the condo, light in the master bathroom burnt out (a fluorescent light that we didn't find replacements for inside the condo), the pipes groan if you have water on in two areas and the stove, while clean has had the dial settings rubbed off and the group of 5 of us spent the whole week trying to find the right setting to cook with on the stove top. None of these things would stop me from recommending the condo but those choosing to stay there should know about these issues. We also had some more immediate issues while we were there (water leaking through the ceiling one morning and the exterminators leaving a note on the door saying that they would be spraying the next day some time after 9 am and that would we have to be gone from the condo for that entire time). I sent an email to the owner regarding these issues. I never got a response. However the water leak did get fixed and the exterminator did come at a time that we were already planning on being gone. Ultimately neither of these issues ended up being inconvenient for us but the lack of communication from the owner was a bit frustrating.
So overall we enjoyed our stay. The location of the condo is wonderful and it was clean. However there were some issues with our stay that make me give it less than four stars. This program won't let me give ratings in half star increments, however if given the option I would give it a 3.5.

This condo is beginning an update process and is extremely clean. Exactly as it appears with pool and ocean at your door step. Very nice for families the only negative would be that we were locked out because the dead bolt had been locked and when we were all going out via the lanai when the door closed it also locked. Could not reach owner and or mgmt co. Blue book is not in the dining room table as stated. Neighbor helped and another co tried to help and they did I reach owner who then explained there was no key anywhere for the dead bolt and also that someone else had also experienced being locked out. He told us what they did and we were able to get in. Cannot share this information on this site. All in all you won't be disappointed but make sure you ask about that key and we found the info in the kitchen for co to help us.

We had a lovely stay and hope to return someday!

Your location is amazing! We loved the recent updates to your condo. Thanks for keeping it neat and clutter-free! All your attention to detail shows. Please add a few "plastic" glasses to take a libation to the pool, as no glass is allowed! Mahalo
