Great things were :
We loved the amazing beach views with palm trees and grass
The pull out couch mattress was comfortable.
The pool was nice
Place was surface clean only
Friendly neighbors
Had an Elevator
The owners are wonderful and quick to answer emails
Shower curtain and decorations were nice and Maui themed
What was not so nice:
Sheets pillows and mattress pads looked old and SMELLED dirty and stained
We had to wash everything to feel comfortable using them
The kitchen cupboards handles are grungy and sticky and need deep cleaning as does the refrigerator door
The unit needs an air conditioner because it was so hot we were all miserably dripping sweat even with fans blowing

The property is very nice and our unit was fantastic.
Corner unit second floor has great views.
Our only disappointment ( no fault of the owners ) there was no beach access. We must have come at a very weird timing as the sand was washed away so far out that the only beach access was a 6 foot drop to get to. Impossible.
After being there for 7 days the sand rose about 2 feet and we did Brave jumping down once but is was very difficult and we did not attempt that again.
However……we did have turtles 🐢 come onto the beach Every day! They must have appreciated having the beach to themselves for the most part!
One day we had 3 turtles come rest on the beach. You could stand right above them on the grass wall and safely take pictures without disturbing them.
Truly magnificent.
I would definitely recommend this place and do hope to return soon ❤️
The owners of several units were there during our stay and all were very nice and welcoming.

This property was a perfect getaway. The views of the ocean are stunning in all weather, the beach is just across the beautiful lawn, maybe 100 ft or so. Whales, turtles and a surprise visit from a monk seal made for some fun! The accommodations were chill, relaxing and laid back, and everything we needed was here. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfy, bathroom was nice, great shower! Laundry was in-house which was a bonus. The best part was the lanai where we ate all our at home meals and we spent a good amount of time sitting in the comfy bar height chairs at the table, just taking in the beauty right in front of us, from the calm, quiet mornings to the spectacular sunsets.
We did run into some issues with check-in as it took us an hour to actually be able to get the door unlocked. We never received the important VRBO email that would've given us all the info and prevented that snafu. Next time I'll know to ask more questions before arriving. Jim and Lorna were so sweet and helpful as soon as we were able to connect and they got us in!!
The only other con was the noise at night in the neighborhood. The neighbors dogs barked quite a lot the first night we were here starting at 2:45am and continuing for a few hours. The second night there was loud construction noise coming from the neighborhood starting at 11pm. This was not terrible, just a bit annoying and did not detract from our overall enjoyment of this fabulous place.
We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

We had the opportunity to stay at this lovely condo during our Spring Break in March 2024, and had a wonderful time. Everything you need is stocked and ready to go. The description is accurate, one bedroom, one bath with a pull-out bed was the perfect layout for my wife, my teenage son and I to have plenty of space. The selling feature for me was the proximity to the beach and the sounds of the ocean waves. It’s a second floor unit with a balcony that is a stone’s throw to the beautiful ocean waves. Instructions to check in and out were perfectly clear which made the process stress free and easy. Also, the on site property manager does an awesome job keeping the grounds, pool, hot tub and parking situation clean and organized. All said, a very quiet rental complex, unit is exactly as advertised, we were there for 7 nights, with a rental car, you will have the island at your fingertips to do and see many of the great things this beautiful island has to offer.

Overall we enjoyed our time and for the price it was ok. Hawaii is hard on buildings and appliances and I appreciate it can be hard to maintain everything. There was a lot rust and the overall condition of the unit was just ok. The one thing that was really strange and unprofessional was actually the WiFi password. They choose to make people enter a specific faith-based affirmation. That's fine if it's your residence, but this is a business relationship and you should probably be more sensitive to other faiths and keep something as ubiquitous as a wifi password non-relegious. I will probably stay at the property again, but will likely choose another unit. For what it's worth the A building has better sunset views- especially from the 3rd or 4th floor. I also recommend staying farther away from the big, loud dog living next door that woke us up early every morning.

Property is in great location but every counter, appliance, and floor was coated with red dust. the unit was plain dirty. And dont understand how you keep the heat down in an unairconditioned unit if the drier is vented INTO the bathroom.

The large lanai with comfortable lounger was fantastic. We enjoyed the beach just down the stairs with turtles swimming throughout the day as well as the beach chairs/boogie boards. Nice corner unit with more than enough airflow/fans to keep cool. Clean, spacious and well equipped. Hosts are very accommodating

What I was looking for- accommodation on whichever part of the island that has calm waters in July; view of beach 2nd or 3rd floor; walking distance to beach; pool; waterslide; kitchen; washer & dryer; no insect infestation; free parking; frugal friendly rates. We got everything but the waterslide with this one! Condo was a great bargain and worked out well for myself and 3 teenage sons. Comfy queen bed, queen pull out sofa, and twin inflatable bed, all with clean linens. All the kitchen appliances you will need. Keurig and reqular coffee maker available and more. The washer & dryer came in handy as we didn't pack many clothes. Could use new window treatments and the bookcase in the living room has a funny smell, still I would definitely stay here again. We visited in July, it was warm so we opened the front and back slider door, the breeze would come thru and that kept us comfortable. There are 2 ceiling fans, and a stand up fan we didn't need to use. The beach, pool and hot tub being right downstairs meant we never had to leave the complex for beach access. Room is on the 2nd floor, you can use the stairs or elevator. Grounds were well kept. Manager of the complex is on site and very friendly. Grocery store and fuel is a 2 minute drive away. Just a perfect location, checked all the boxes for our family!

This was my second time staying in this condo and loved it just the same. Having a little private beach with the sound of the waves alone is really nice. The space is very clean, has a home feel and very close to everything you could need shopping and food wise. Highly recommend staying here!

Lovely condo with the most breathtaking views of the ocean. Condo was clean and the owners were fantastic to deal with. Highlight of our stay was seeing a turtle basking in the sun right on the beach.
Mahalo for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home.

This place was just as described, no surprises except the beautiful view from the porch! Super easy access to pool and beach made it even better.

We’ve stayed in many condos at Hale Mahina over the years and really enjoyed our stay in this unit. It’s very clean and the owners are very friendly and responsive. We’ll be booking another stay in the future!

If you end up at this property, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Everything about Hale Mahina brought so much joy to our stay on the island. This was our 4th time on Maui and specifically staying on this part of the island and in this neighborhood - it feels like home.
The condo provided towels, beach gear, kitchen/cooking seasonings and a large space for cooking food to enjoy on the lanai.
The grills are charcoal - be sure to grab some while at the market. Larry maintains the property stunning, but still be sure to clean up.
No binoculars we found - I would definitely recommend bringing your own.
We will be back and it will be at this property. Enjoy and help keep it beautiful forever!

Beautiful condo with ocean view from balcony. We were a family of 4 with two kids, and there was ample space for all of us. There was a queen bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. There was also a foldable mattress in the property which became handy for us as our kids couldn't sleep in the same bed. Stocked with all the basics in the condo, with easy access through the instructions that were sent to us prior. Communication by the hosts was clear, and parking lot had ample space for the car (self parking). There is a clean pool and a hot tub in the property which we were able to use on one of the days. The ocean view from the balcony was highlight of the property, as we woke up to rainbow views everyday during our stay. There is a small beach by the pool area, however we didn't go as there are other great beaches nearby. The property location was great on the west side of the island. Will definitely stay here during our next trip.

Our favorite lodge in Hawaii! Everything is exact same as shows on descriptions, but something over expectation. There’s a small semi-private beach, perfect for snorkeling. We swam with many turtles, one of them even crawling onto beach and resting there for hours. What a unforgettable experience. I’ve recommended here to friends and family, really enjoy days spent here!

The view from this unit is beautiful. The bedroom is lovely and secluded. The kitchen was well equipped. The pull out couch could use a better mattress. That was uncomfortable for us. Wonderful to have washer and dryer these were quite old is the broken handle that made us nervous to use it. Hosts super communicative and lovely. The location is very good as well🌟

The B206 condo was just as described, if not better. The condo was clean, and appointed with everything we needed. We had a great view from the lanai of the pool and ocean, the sunsets were spectacular.
It was fun watching the turtles on the beach, and swimming with them in the ocean.
We are already trying to find a time to return!

Jim and Lorna, We loved this place at first sight! Walking into this clean spacious condo gave us big approving smiles. The view is amazing. Bed is very comfortable. All the amenities included were so appreciated. Even the trade winds blowing through the condo were the best! We thought the location was great! Only 7 minutes south to Lahina. Plus the grounds were kept perfect by Larry, who was so helpful. thank you so much we had a perfect vacation!!

I wouldn’t say this place is amazing, but it’s a good value and a comfortable cozy place. The owners did a good job supplying the basics plus a little extra. The complex is nice and the people we bumped into were friendly. We didn’t stay there too long as we were out and about most of the time but I’d certainly recommend this place to a friend.

Loved being right on the ocean. I was a little nervous about the unit not having air conditioning, but the fans and the breezes from having all the windows open were perfect and kept me cool! The pool and hot tub were great too! Would stay again.

We have stayed on Maui many times over the years, always at Napili Bay at a resort. This was our absolute favorite Maui trip ever. The condo itself was perfect. We kept all of the windows open and had the perfect blend of trade winds and ocean sounds. The temperature was ideal, even without air conditioning. The ceiling fans kept the air moving really well. The beach itself was really nice, never overcrowded. Nice to have the option of lounge chairs on the grass or sitting directly on the beach. The view was incredible from our room. This "B" unit doesn't get the direct sun in the afternoon, which is a real bonus. The "A" building faces west and has sun hitting it all afternoon. We've had rooms like that in the past and it gets way too hot in the afternoons to enjoy the lanai. Ours was comfy all day long. So nice to have the end unit, more opportunity for cross breezes and very private. Especially loved the comfy lounge chair on the lanai, fell asleep there quite a few times! We loved swimming in the ocean. It was really special having the sea turtles in the ocean and swimming up onto the beach. There was also a Monk seal that rested on the beach one of the days we were there. The condo is well stocked with beach equipment, including noodles, umbrella, chairs, boogie boards, fins, towels and a cooler. Would definitely recommend water shoes as the bottom is very rocky. Water shoes made it much more comfortable. The kitchen has all of the necessities for cooking. We actually cooked all of our meals there. Who wants to go out when we had the amazing view from our own lanai! With that said, there are many great options for dining out, all within walking distance. There is a Farmers Market and a grocery store within walking distance and several great coffee spots as well. We are so happy to have discovered this condo and the Hale Mahina property. We look forward to our next visit.

We stayed here for three days which concluded an 11 day honeymoon in Maui. This unit is in a great location. It is quiet with beach front view and access. Communication and checkin was very easy. I would definitely stay here again.

This property has amazing views of the ocean. The nice big living room and patio feel super spacious. We stayed in Oct and the only downside was that the condo stayed pretty hot during the day, even with fans on, blinds closed and windows open. The iron and blow dryer also both didn’t work. But the hosts we’re gracious and we enjoyed the stay. The free parking was also super nice!!
