Nice property with a great location, view and lanai. Enjoyed turtle spotting and snorkeling directly from property. Quiet and relaxing environment, though when air movement slows, or effectively ceases it can quickly get a little, 'stuffy' (which it did on a couple of days during our stay). Overall very enjoyable stay and wouldn't hesitate to return.

Nice unit and location. Thankfully we came the first week of November so having no AC was not a problem. If it had been summer it would have been miserable. I encouraged owner to update their VRBO add about the AC.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment during our week long vacation in Maui. The apartment was clean and neat when we checked in, with a fully equipped kitchen and laundry access. The balcony opens up to an amazing view of the ocean, and we got alot of cool breeze throughout the day, so totally fine without AC. The location is perfect for us, with easy access to plenty of snorkling spots. Food and grocery are also close by. Hosts, Lisa and Richard were very helpful with providing useful information before we travelled. Definitely a recommended stay for couple/family with a young child. Thank you!

The view from our window 3rd floor is beautiful! Very serene. The room was good, clean, spacious, great kitchen. Had trouble getting the key from lockbox, hard to open. Grounds beautiful; no activities; had problem with person communication; done by online mostly. For seniors kinda hard.
But we still enjoyed our stay there.

The views from the Lani are always pleasant and we enjoy eating our meals their. This property is noisey one due to the outside maintenance that is being done and the other having to have the windows open in the bedroom for cross ventilation and it backs to another property and busy road, You do get to hear the waves coming on shore which is nice. Most units have no air-conditioning but the complex and location are what bring us back each year.

Gorgeous view and whales for days. The co do was a perfect launching spot for everything we wanted to do in Maui. Would absolutely stay again.

This unit was clean and comfortable. Good quality and comfortable bed and we enjoyed the comfortable furniture especially on the lani. We ate all of our meals on the lani enjoying the great view and even after dark we enjoyed it for reading thanks to the overhead lights. The kitchen is well stocked. The only negative would be to have some kitchen and bathroom cleaning supplies so we could keep it as clean as it was when we arrived. We recommend this unit for future stays.

This was our second stay at the property and we enjoyed our time yet again. When we landed at 7PM, we did receive a text that the property was not yet cleaned but would be by 9PM. It wasn't a big issue for us as we had to still get our rental car, grab dinner and do some grocery shopping. Everything was completed prior to our arrival at the property.
This place if perfect for our family with 2 children. Our kids love the pool and whale/turtle watching for the the huge deck on the grounds. Also, a huge plus that there are beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler and boogie board.

Easy check-in. View as advertised, enjoyed sleeping with the sound of the ocean, comfortable mattress. Unit was perfect for 2 adults, bathroom & kitchen are small. A few maintenance issues in the unit that owners are going to work on. Dripping facet was really annoying for a month. Owners are easy to communicate with, added the golf channel & new router which was appreciated. The complex is quiet & well maintained. We would certainly stay again.

My husband and our two sons, ages 10 and 8, stayed here recently and had a great time. Everything was as described in the listing - although I don't think the photos do the unit justice. Overall it's a good value - nothing fancy but it worked just fine for us.
The only thing we didn't love was the really cold pool. Even my sons who are polar bears didn't enjoy swimming in it. However, the beaches in Hawaii are where it's at anyway so it was no big deal about the pool.
The owners are responsive and provide easy instructions for accessing the unit. Overall a very good stay and value. Mahalo!

The condo was really nice with a good view. The king size bed very comfortable. We were surprised it didn’t have a/c but it really wasn’t needed except from maybe 3-5:30pm. The ocean looked beautiful below us but unfortunately it was unusable due to rocks and rough seas so we drove to the public beach to use. We saw a lot of turtles at the public beach.

This is the 3rd time we have rented from Dick and Lisa and this time we booked 11 nights.. The condo is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The view is excellent and the sunsets are spectacular. The turtles came in to feed on the reef right in front of the complex daily. Dick and Lisa are excellent hosts and quick to respond with answers to any questions. We hope to be back soon!

We loved our stay here! Stayed for a week and loved relaxing on the patio with coffee in the morning and for sunsets in the evening. Condo was comfortable and had everything we needed. We didn’t have a car, but the Maui bus line runs right next to the condo and can take you pretty much anywhere worth going on the island.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the ocean from the lanai, very clean, well stocked with all the essentials. Dishwasher and garbage disposal were nice to have. Very easy to communicate with owners. Loved how there was snorkel gear and beach accessories. Saw sea turtles right on the sun deck every day. May need to invest with a new bed and sofa. We loved it! 🏝🌺

From the moment we stepped in the condo it was so much more than we expected. They provide snorkel gear, 2 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, ice chest, boogie boards & sand toys. The unit was very clean and decorated with an island touch. We will most definitely stay again. Lisa was available to answer any questions. Amazing property & very peaceful.

Condo #303 was amazing! We were welcomed to a clean, updated condo. Plenty of linens and pillows made the pull out couch comfortable for my girls. The condo has an amazing view of the pool and ocean. In the evening, we were surprised to see half a dozen sea turtles eating algae on the rocks! My daughter got to swim with them, it was amazing. The condo is comfortable during the night time, but once the sun rises the condo warms up quickly with no AC. The kitchen is nice, however, there is not an oven. #303 had an outdoor closet full of beach items (beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, noodles, and an ICE CHEST *life saver*) Check in was made easy by the keypad on the door! Lisa was also nice enough to let us check out a little early due to our late flight. We will be back to Hale Ono Loa!!! Thanks!

We had a great ocean view! The pool area was great and so was the beach! The beach area was only a few feet away which made it easy to enjoy every day. Lastly, the condo was clean and updated. We will defiantly be back. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ;)

We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Ono Loa!! The condo had everything we needed. The kitchen is well stocked. The view from the Lanai is fabulous! I'm missing it already. It quickly became our home away from home. The bed was comfortable (which is unusual for me). The pool and grounds are lovely.
We could see sea turtles by walking to the end of the hallway!! We also saw whale spouts from our lanai one morning. We enjoyed meeting Dick and Lisa who happened to be there when we were. Such a friendly couple!!
I would go back to this condo again and recommend it to friends and family!! Thank you for a wonderful holiday!!

This is a lovely condo complex with excellent tenants and on site manager (Greg). The grounds are beautiful with a top notch ocean view. The pool is well maintained with gas grills and lawn chairs. The condo is well decorated and stocked with all the comforts of home. The view of Lana'i from the condo are superb and the sunsets are perfect. Lisa and Dick to a great job of providing information about Maui and the condo before you arrive, they've also prepare a welcoming book with places to see and things to do on your visit. The CD the Road 2 Hana was a nice touch as we made our journey. Boogie boards, snorkel gear, coolers, beach towels and beach chairs are all provided. The location is near all the hustle and bustle of Lahania, but far enough away to feel like you're really on vacation. It is tough to make this place better, I would suggest maybe a screen door for the main entry. I'd also recommend "S" Curves in the guide book as a great surfing beach. Other than that, we had a great time and look forward to our next visit.

Thank you Lisa and Richard for this wonderful condo! Ocean breezes and views from this condo are amazing. You could watch the whales from the lanai and the ocean breezes kept the place cool. We loved the pool at this complex. Larger and ranged from 3 to 9 feet in depth. Condo was great for a family of 4 with the two younger kids on the pull out couch. We appreciated the beach chairs and umbrella for our visits to the beaches. We love this side of the island and will certainly look to stay here again.

Everything you need is there waiting for you! We used sand chairs, beach towels, etc. Furnished in a very good quality level. 2 televisions. Fans in both rooms and lovely ocean breezes. Extra pillows and blankets, so we were really comfy. Loved eating on the balcony and viewing the ocean and the pool area of the complex. Cant say enough good things about this condo.

This condo was the perfect place to call home for the week. Wonderful location, comfortably furnished, great for 2-3 people. You can also see sea turtles from the back deck on the property! There were some sugar ants and a dead roach but we told the owners who were very attentive.
I would definitely come back again and would recommend this condo to friends and family.

We love this place! And Lisa & Dick are fabulous hosts. Condo is very nice and has all the comforts of home. The small condo complex (only about 70 units) ensured it was quiet and relaxing - extra enjoyable! The pool and deck area are fabulous and the location was great for us for getting our daily walks in. Just a quick walk to the farmer's market and store which has spectacular local produce every day too. The whale watching from the lanai and upper deck was amazing. This was the best vacation ever and a great way to ease into retirement. Thanks for everything, Lisa and Dick!! We hope to see you again very soon!!

My husband & I spent 9 glorious days in Maui . This is exactly what was advertised and we enjoyed our stay very much. The decor is wonderful, the appliances & kitchen utensils are in excellent condition, and the bathroom is all updated with tiled shower & granite counters. The lanai gave us wonderful, peaceful views of the nightly sunset & the view is spectacular. The Condo comes with all the basics one needs to keep comfortable ; and all of our beach toys were provided, i.e., boogey board, snorkel equipment, 2 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, beach towels, & coolers. The pool area is also very well maintained along with a daily cleaning of 2 gas grills that are located in the pool area. We were extremely satisfied with our decision to stay here and can't wait to return.
Thank you Lisa & Richard for everything. We hope to be back very soon.

The condo had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The decor was warm and inviting; the kitchen was well equipped; and the bed was very comfortable. The view from our lanai over the pool area and the ocean was amazing. The property is very well maintained and the owners were very polite and seemed genuinely concerned about making sure we were well taken care of. It was close to many attractions, i.e., Lahaina, Kaanapali Beach, Whaler's Village ~ places we always enjoy visiting while on Maui. We definitely plan to return and will highly recommend this condo to family and friends looking for a comfortable, clean and affordable place to vacation.

Richard & Lisa were very welcoming and provided us with all the information we needed to enjoy their beautiful condo. The condo is well equipped and has everything that you would need in the kitchen to prepare meals at home. The condo is in a very well kept community. The grounds, pool and barbecue area were clean and well-manicured. We love being in the Kaanapali area. It's close to Lahaina, Whaler's Village, great restaurants for both happy hour sunsets and dinners, and good snorkeling areas. The turtles that come in to feed on the rocks right outside the condo buildings provide great viewing and photo opportunities. We will definitely be back again.

Fantastic condo, great location, couldn't of been better. We found the condo completely enjoyable and so well stocked for our stay. The pool, the grounds the turtles, it was perfect. The location to shopping, sightseeing, all right there, couldn't of asked for more. Thanks again, we definitely will be back to this perfect jewel.

This condo has a fantastic view of the ocean, and we loved seeing a resident sea turtle hanging out so close to the pool balcony area. The unit itself is nice, clean, and has a lovely shower. There are plenty of cooking supplies to make meals there if you choose. The photos shown are accurate to what the condo looks like.
I've deducted two stars of my review for the following reasons:
1. Due to how the building is situated around the pool area and neighboring building, it is not very private, and pretty noisy during the day due to folks/kids using the pool.
2. The biggest challenge for our stay was when the water was unexpectedly shut off. There wasn't any note or anything, and we were trying to figure out what was going on. It turned out there was a water leak in the unit next door, which totally wasn't the owner's fault and doesn't negatively impact this review. What was really frustrating was that we called the owner a couple times and left one voicemail as we were trying to assess the situation. No call back. We finally emailed several hours later, after the water had just been turned on. We received an email back awhile later saying that they had been traveling, and hoped we were having a good stay. No response about our frustration, and it kind of felt like it was an inconvenience to have emailed them. That's the reason I'm taking a star off, not because of the leak itself. Stuff happens, but we felt that the owner's lack of responsiveness was the problem.

We have stayed in several condos in the area and this is our favorite. It is so peaceful and still just minutes away from our favorite beaches and local restaurants. The condo has been completely updated and has all the modern amenities. There are beach chairs, cooler, snorkel gear and more for your trips to the beach. The condo is also fully stocked for cooking and BBQ'ing. Sitting out on the lanai is so very peaceful, great sunsets and whale watching. Enjoy a morning stroll to the Farmer's Market to get the most amazing fruits & vegetables. It is a 5 minute car ride either way to our favorite beaches - Airport beach or Kapalua Bay Beach.
At night time, enjoy the breezy trade winds and the ocean sounds, it is quite amazing. Can't wait for our next trip back, we have just booked it for another 12 amazing days! Thank you!

We spent the first half of our honeymoon at Rich & Lisa's condo. It was beautifully updated, well decorated and most importantly, felt homey. We spent mornings drinking coffee on the lanai and afternoons relaxing with a Maui Brewing Company beer after the beach looking at the gorgeous view. The location was quiet and within walking distance to some restaurants, a farmer's market and smaller beaches. It was a 10 minute drive to Front Street in Lahaina and a 10-20 minute drive to some of the more northern beaches. Every day we looked forward to coming "home" to the condo to relax. Since it's on the third floor we were able to keep the sliding door open at night and the windows open in the bedroom for a comfortable breeze. Not having AC was never an issue because of the trade winds. We had such a wonderful time in Maui and our only regret was not staying longer!! Many thanks to Rich and Lisa for sharing their slice of paradise with us! We hope to return one day.

This charming one-bedroom oceanview condo is the perfect spot to relax and yet it's close to everything in West Maui. It's on the third floor, but there is an elevator for those who don't like stairs. The breezes keep the unit cool and fresh, and the view from the lanai (balcony) is gorgeous. The unit has everything you'd need for a short stay, and if you like to end your day with a little TV, there are two large flat screens. The grounds are beautiful, the condo is updated and clean and it's quiet and breezy for restful sleeping. We really enjoyed our short stay (10 days) and we're sure you will too!

Lisa and Richard!
Thank you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful condo. It is all that you described and more. Condo was very clean with up to date decor and the kitchen had all that we needed including all the amenities.
It was a great experience for me and my family as we are first timers vacationing in HI.
Again thank you so much and I would most definitely recommend this property to anyone that wants to visit Maui. This is a great place for all ages, young couples, families, and retirees.

We stayed a week in this lovely, spacious, like new condo in May, 2012. What a find! The owners, Richard and Lisa, have furnished this with all you could want for a week in paradise. The grounds are immaculate, the pool refreshing, the views unlimited, the turtles are a delight to watch! The area and this complex are very quiet which is so wonderful for a vacation. We found boogie boards, tatami mats, chairs, a cooler, and noodles in the closer on the lanai...all of which we used at the beach. Nice to not have to bring them, nor purchase them.
The shower is really nice, full force water and spacious. We wondered about the lack of a/c but trust me, open the windows and the door to the lanai and you have luscious trade winds all day and night. There are ceiling fans that would move the air should you feel the need. The lanai is huge, well equipped with a table and chairs....we enjoyed watching the ocean from it as we relaxed after being out all day.
The area has a public beach really close (walking distance) which we enjoyed because there were shade trees and tables there also. There is a large grocery close and several small ones nearby. We found the ABC store had the nicest deli around with great salads, sandwiches and hot food, fresh fruits and frozen things at fabulous prices for Maui!
I would recommend this condo to anyone who would like a spacious and well equipped place to stay on Maui. Richard and Lisa answered by inquiries quickly and professionally...it was easy to use PayPal to pay and get confirmation of my dates. All in all, a 5 of 5 stars!
June 2012
This property is modern and well-designed. One can sit on the lanai and enjoy all the benefits of being on the beach but with the comforts of home. We had wonderful family meals out there. The pool was great, with shuffleboard nearby on clean, well-kept grounds. We picked bananas off the tree and ate them while we played. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, and the sand toys, boogie boards, and snorkel equipment available were invaluable to us. The entire condo was clean and luxurious, upscale even. It was a great deal.
The local beach is very close, as are a wide variety of good restaurants and grocery stores. (the large grocer has excellent selection and there’s also a small organic grocery store) My favorite local restaurant (I love good coffee) was Jazz and Java, a bold, authentic coffee shop/restaurant within walking distance. Their bacon and eggs were phenomenal.
My only regret is that we didn’t book this place for more nights. There was a personal touch it, both inside and outside. If we can ever return to that area of Maui, we would book the same place without thinking twice. Thank you, owners! ?

Can't wait to go back! The condo is lovely inside and out, just as described. We loved listening to the ocean and feeling the tropical breezes while resting on the cushy pillow-top bed. Cooking fresh produce from the Farmer's Market in the modern, granite tiled kitchen was really nice: room for two to work side by side, stove overlooking the living area, good selection of tools and dishes. I just wish I'd been smart and read the instructions for the oven before trying to bake! The lanai is spacious and the view just as pictured- loved watching the waves, the sunsets, and even the lighted pool and the garden below once the sun had gone down. We thought we would miss the bath tub, but with the warm climate the walk in shower was perfect.
Loved the location: lots within walking distance and an easy drive to Lahaina or North to Honalua Bay. Also loved being able to relax at the condo and watch the surf and the turtles. The beach chairs, mats, and snorkel gear made beach day comfortable and interesting.
Thanks Lisa and Dick for your gracious help and for the use of your lovely home away from home. We hope to visit again and stay longer, will definitely be recommending your condo to our friends!
June 2011
I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the use of your Maui condo! We absolutely loved it. It is clear that you take great pride in making your guests comfortable, and ensuring their trip to Maui is fantastic. We instantly felt at home the minute we walked in the door. And with the kitchen being fully stocked with every utensil and dish we could possibly need, it made making meals a breeze! We also loved that you had beach towels, boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrellas available. It was so great to not have to rent all of that stuff! The location of the condo is absolutely fantastic. The views are nothing short of amazing and the pool area is perfect! The pride of ownership around the building is quite clear as well. I noticed that the pool is cleaned and tested every single day and the grounds are maintained regularly as well. All of these things combined helped make for the best vacation that either of us has ever had! We absolutely fell in love with Maui and will most definitely return! My hope is that its sooner rather than later! We both agreed that when we come back we won't bother searching around for another condo...yours is where we'll be looking!! We've already recommended it to about 4 or 5 people here in Victoria! Mahalo, Lisa and Dick, for your commitment to great hospitality!
