Lawrence was a great host with great communication. His suggestions were great and would recommend his place to any other couples looking to enjoy Maui and Wailea. The kitchen had surprisingly anything you’d need and we throughly enjoyed our stay.

This place is even better than the pictures!! Right in the middle of a beautiful upscale neighborhood, it feels more like a home than an apartment. The instructions on everything are crystal clear by the owner who has put in a lot of love in this home. We rven used to cook our breakfast everyday the kitchen being well- equipped. The air conditiong is very good, the lanai has great views too! 2 baths in a 1 bedroom is a definite add on!! If ure planning to stay in Maui, this place is a cherry on the cake!

Lawrence was a super host! He was friendly and very accommodating. The unit had such a fun vacation vibe to it with all the amenities and comfort one can ask for. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get the most bang out of their buck. Can’t wait to return !

The condo was perfect! Spotless, well furnished, accurately described, and communication with Lawrence was prompt and pleasant. This was the perfect set up for my girlfriend and I to enjoy and experience all that Maui and the Wailea area have to offer. Would absolutely book this condo for future visits!

What an enjoyable place to stay. Walk to the beach in minutes, go shopping or just stay in. This place has everything you need and more.

The condo was perfect for our Maui vacation. Location was quiet and very convenient to all of the shoppes, restaurants, and resorts. Pool/spa onsite and beach in walking distance. Unit was updated with all of the needs and wants with open concept and oversized lanai. New AC minsplit was great to provide cooling and was quiet. TV/Bose was a nice feature for unwinding with music, or enjoying a late night movie. Host was personable and responsive.

We have stayed at the palms over 10 times and we love the location and we love Wailea!The host was easy to communicate with and the condo was just ok! They had one ac in the bedroom and it did not work well at all! Lots of construction going on so would have been nice to have to close window! Other than that ammentities were great!

This is a good unit to stay at for a couple. The bed and bedding are super high end and comfortable, The unit is well stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, and the kitchen is nicely stocked with amenities and everything you would need to do your own cooking. The barbeque on the lanai came in handy as well. For those nights when you just want to stay in there is also a high end TV and surround sound system with access to most of the digital movie sites (Netflix, etc.). The only one draw back that we saw was that there can be some traffic noise when sitting on the lanai.

Everything you need! So nice not to have to run out for paper towels, TP, dishwashing liquid, or laundry detergent.
The entry landing has counters that are perfect for dropping your backpacks, bags, keys, sunglasses, etc.
Having access to beach items was nice as well.
The ONLY thing we missed was an A/C unit in the main living area. The unit in the bedroom kept that area very comfortable for sleeping but, even with fans, it could be a bit warm at times in the living room.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Bedding was super nice. Proximity to beaches and the restaurants and shops at Wailea made things easy when we didn't feel like going into Kihei.

I come to Maui annually for my birthday but never stay in Wailea until I found this gem of a condo which was only 15 min walk from the shops at Wailea and beach access. Lawrence was such an amazing host and even though he is on NY time +6hrs my questions always got answered. The location is just central to everything in Wailea. We were able to use the kitchen for home cooked meals and only are out for dinners. Never checked out the pool but it looks nice. Would definitely stay here again on our nice trip⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Although we had some minor issues with the property, Lawrence was easy to contact and helpful in solving them. We loved the beautiful recent remodel and the Bose sound system was incredible for music and TV sporting events. The artistic touch of Lawrence’s Photographic artwork throughout was very classy. Overall a great stay in a great location.

From the moment we arrived it was readily apparent that we had made an outstanding choice! The furnishings, the cleanliness, the quality of the appliances, the artwork and overall decor throughout the rooms was second-to-none. And Lawrence, the owner, was found to be most accommodating, gracious and readily responsive to our Baby Boomer questions about how to operate the magnificent surround sound audio/visual systems in the condo. We highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone seeking to spend a vacation in paradise. If it were possible to give it and the neighborhood a six-star rating instead of the maximum of five, we would do so.

Lawerence was a great host. Very communicative and responsive. He gave us a lot of recommendations to local spots where we wouldn’t have found on our own! Wailea was a great area to stay if you’re in Maui, lots of things to do in the area.

August 2022
Our overall experience was wonderful. My fiancé and I were looking for a place to simply relax, and this place offers that. The condo has everything you need. Dishes, cookware, up to date appliances, filtration system, beach essentials that actually work and are not falling apart, comfortable bed, and more. The apartment does get warm during the evening, so we opened the windows, brought the fan in the living room and that kept the place cool. Short drive to the wailea shops and beaches. We never had a problem looking for a parking spot when we drove to the nearby beaches. Lawrence was also available to answer questions on our first day. We’ll definitely return. Thanks Lawrence !

Great place in Wailea. Although this location adds about 20 mins drive time to all of our adventures, it was very nice coming home to a nice area and nice condo at the end of your day. Definitely a big upgrade from Kihei, and closer to activities than Ka’anapali or Lahaina. Place is spacious, comfortable, and breezy. Plenty of windows, big sliding door to get cool off by the ocean breeze. Updated furniture and really nice sound system (a bit glitchy but we figured out how it works). Nice patio with chaises and a big dining table. We found two of nice beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, beach soft cooler bag, snorkeling gear on the patio. We spent lazy afternoons hanging out at famous Makena Beach watching the waves. It was a short drive away. Highly recommended.

The aet Lawrence showcases on his walls is amazing and is helped greatly with the adjustable lighting. We were with two other families in the same complex and their condos felt dark and dated next to ours. The white walls, blue high ceiling in the bedroom, and art on the walls created a light, airy feeling. Also, the filtered water was a nice touch.

We absolutely would stay here again. Lawrence was wonderful as a host and very attentive to anything we could need. The location was amazing, and the condo was just perfect. It’s clean, it has beautiful art work, and very comfy but beautiful and modern. The outdoor patio is great for grilling and having dinner. The bed in the master is incredibly comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for more. It was perfect.

Enjoyed our stay at the Palms property. Lawrence was easy to work with and a good communicator.
These are things we noticed (pros and cons):
Pros: Good location, nice Lanai- able to BBQ at condo, filtered water on site, kitchen well stocked, new oven, microwave and dishwasher, nice TV and sound system. Bed was comfy. Lawrence is a good host. Plenty of items on site for the beach.
Cons: Could use some updates (old frig, bathrooms are dated) A/C in bedroom only. Found the unit can get hot even with windows open and cross breeze. Sometimes the traffic noise was loud since the unit is on the corner. (just noticeable, not a deal breaker in my opinion)

We had an incredible time staying at this absolutely beautiful condo for 4 days. The condo looks new and is clean and furnished perfectly and made for a comfortable stay. The private Lani was large and provided a very relaxing space outdoor with lounge chairs and table, chairs, and beautiful view! Lawrence, the property owner/manager, was soooo very pleasant and responsive and his Amazing artwork was displayed throughout the condo. I text a question to Lawrence and he called so quickly and was very pleasant and provided information on the local beaches, restaurants, etc. The kitchen had everything necessary and more, including a filtered water system. The location is perfect, walking distance to so many restaurants, beaches, and especially the BEAUTIFUL walking trail along the beach. Many restaurants to chose from, Tommy Bahamas and the Maui Brewing Company were 2 of our favorites. I have stayed at a number of VRBOs and this unit was one of my favorites. So many things about our stay were wonderful, we will definitely be back.

Property is well located, close to beaches, shopping and dining. Easy access to highway for sightseeing and traveling to other island locations. Our only issues were with the listing saying it would accommodate 4. That would work if it were 2 adults and 2 children. We had 4 adults. The sectional sofa was a stretch to sleep 2, insufficient bedding and pillows to make up a bed. All in all it didn't spoil the vacation, property just didn't work as well as others might have given our group.

We had a lovely time staying at this property on the Palms development in Wailea. The Palms is a great place to say and the owner of this unit has put a lot of thought into the remodel to modernize it and provide a special touch with his impressive photography, choice of furniture and colours. It is very well equipped with anything you would want in the kitchen - plates, glasses, utensils, blenders, etc - and a comfortable dining area. The bedroom includes a very comfortable bed and ample storage plus a roomy vanity and shower. The unit also has a second guest bathroom. The air condition in the bedroom made for easy sleeping at the right temperature. The lanai is lovely with a great table to sit outside for meals and all the newer beach equipment you want. The property owner is very accommodating and generous with communication prompt and easy. We know Wailea very well but if you are new to the area he can provide tons of input on what to see and do. Beaches are super close by and great walks/runs right outside your door plus a lovely pool to enjoy if you want a break from the beach. We would not hesitate to recommend this property so you can enjoy the Aloha Spirit of Wailea which is our happy place!

Lawrence is an absolute pleasure to work with and personally takes it upon himself to make sure your stay is perfect. We have rented many properties and this one is very well appointed with all of the kitchen amenities you could possibly want. It is extremely clean, modern, and comfortable. We will stay here again in a heartbeat!

The condo was in such a great location in Wailea. Central to so many beaches, restaurants, shops, etc. The unit was more modern than most in Maui and came with most of the essentials needed for your vacation.
The unit is across the street from an active construction site and during the week, made it very undesirable to use the lanai or keep the windows open. There is no AC in the great room (just the bedroom) so it got uncomfortably warm inside. We just decided to spend more time at the beach :)
Lawrence was very responsive and took care of any issues that came up.
He displayed his artwork throughout the unit which were beautiful pictures of local beaches and more.
Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay!

The property had everything we needed. It was very clean, had well equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, comfy bed, get patio to enjoy our morning coffee, beach supplies, etc.. Lawrence was very thorough on check-in and check-out procedures and also helpful giving advise on best places to eat and beaches to see close by. We would definitely try and stay here again if we book another trip the Maui.

This place was fantastic and located near many shops and the beach. Lawrence was kind enough to allow us to check in early. The place was very clean and had all the amenities you may need. Although we didn’t use them, Lawrence supplied beach chairs, an umbrella and gear. I would definitely recommend booking this property over the more resort style. Thanks for the amazing time!

Wailea is a stunningly beautiful part of Maui and the Palms of Wailea is likewise a stunningly beautiful property. Our rented condo, hosted by the owner Lawrence, fit right in to the definition of stunning also. Marvelously appointed and extremely clean Lawrence's condo helped to make our first Maui trip a truly memorable time for my wife and myself. We both highly recommend this condo and look forward to staying in it on our next Maui trip.

Lawrence’s place was beautiful! A well needed escape with modern comforts was just what we were looking for. Minutes from the beach and restaurants of Wailea. Monkey pods Mai Tai’s and fish and chips were outstanding we went back twice. Having the cooler, beach chairs and boogie boards were a huge plus! If we ever go back would defiantly look into renting again! Thanks for the great time!

We LOVED staying here. The condo itself is phenomenal, it feels luxurious but homey. The location is so convenient - a 5-minute drive to the beach where you can walk past all the 5-star hotels and enjoy some of the best views with a quiet atmosphere (also close to shops and restaurants). We thoroughly enjoyed starting our mornings with coffee on the balcony/deck (the chairs are SO comfy). There are a lot of little details in the home that make it an excellent stay -- beach essentials (towels, chairs, snorkeling gear), stocked kitchen, games, etc. You can tell there was a lot of thought that went into making this an enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend!

My wife and I had a great stay. The condo is excellent and very close to everything Wailea has to offer. Pro-tips, drive to the Ulua beach park for free all-day (but arrive before 9am for a spot) and walk along the Wailea Beach Path to enjoy all great (but very expensive) hotels along the coast. No need to spend $1k+/night when you can still use all amenities but the hotels pools and just stay a little further away but in a much nicer, modern and spacious condo. We really enjoyed having 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and the large deck outside.
Excellent host communication/instructions, attentive but not too much.
Would love to come back!

The condo thankfully had everything guests need! It was great to have beach items for the kids and adults, lots of kitchen items, and better quality water built in. It´s more modern compared to the other condos our families stayed in at that same resort. Many beautiful beaches nearby. A mall, a luau, a golf course, a short neat hike through a lava field, and shops are in close proximity. Neighborhood was safe and quiet, pool was nice, and we got a marked parking spot.

First, the unit is a nice, clean place. However, after you carry your luggage up to the second floor upon arrival, you quickly realize that there is only AC in the bedroom, not in the kitchen, the living room, nor the bathrooms. So more than half or 3/4 of the unit does not actually have air-conditioning. Upon this realization, I tried to get in touch with the unit owner but because of the time difference we were unable to connect. We checked into a hotel because despite the ad on VRBO saying it is air conditioned, we did not want our child to sleep in a non-air-conditioned space (on the couch in the living room), nor did we want to prepare meals in a kitchen without AC or relax in the living room without AC.
When I spoke with the unit owner the next day he told me that everybody thinks it’s hot when they arrive and they get used to it. Personally, I think this is pretty ridiculous to have to get used to being hot (we are from Miami and are used to the heat, but depend on AC for comfort). I didn’t come on vacation to feel like I can’t cool down after a day at the pool, a hot shower, or hiking.
I went back and looked at the ad on VRBO and again observed that it said “split air conditioning for your comfort” in the description. It does not say in the bedroom only. This would have been a huge red flag for me and I would not have chosen to stay here. Moreover, I searched under places that were air conditioned. This is clearly deceptive advertising and I hope no one else ends up disappointed and having to pay for a rental and a hotel like we did. What an awful experience.

The location of this condo is excellent- close to everything you need, including epic beaches all within 5 min driving. The condo itself is so beautiful- every detail was well thought out. There are top of the line new appliances, excellent amenities (everything you need to cook a meal, including a grill on the patio), beach chairs/umbrella, beautiful artwork, amazing patio furniture and more! The A/C (located in bedroom) really gets nice and cool for those hot times. It’s extremely spacious and comfortable. The washer is easy to use and the convenience of two showers is extra nice! The community pool is heated and very close to the unit. Make sure to get a cinnamon roll from The Cinnamon Roll Place down the road- epic! Nice stay in this enjoyable neighborhood. Thank you, Lawrence!

How often do we look at photos online and then are disappointed with the actual result? Well you WONT have that experience with this property-its exactly as advertised...a beautifully decorated, updated and spacious condo in a great location!
When I say no detailed were missed, I mean it. Here are some examples:
1. beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, towels and snorkeling gear for a fun filled day at the beach are available to use.
2. For the fitness enthusiast-multiple blenders available to make smoothies
3. For the coffee enthusiast- coffee machine AND French press available
4. For my fellow folks that like to partake in drinks with alcohol-any and all equipment needed to make drinks ranging from a frozen margarita (yes there is even a lime squeezer) to those that love drinks made from a grape (red, white and champagne glasses).
5. For the chefs (not me)-a BRAND new convection oven and every pot and pan to cook whatever your heart desires...but you’re on vacation so skip that part ;)
The location is PERFECT-you can walk to three different beaches, walk to some of the most beautiful hotels, and walk to shop around. Literally minutes from a golf course too.
The bed and linens were AMAZING! The new couch was super comfortable and we spent most of our time on the outdoor patio, where there is a grill, two lounge chairs and a table that seats six.
I could go on and on!
Bottom line-this property will allowyou to have the BEST vacation! We will be back!

This condo truly was 5 star! I found it very hard to find more modern accommodation, and this was beautiful and looks exactly like the photos in real life! Everything you need was provided, very comfortable bed, very clean, great location - when can we move in?! haha. Lawrence was so lovely to deal with and very accommodating. We will be back one day! Highly recommended!

Foremost, Lawrence (the owner) was wonderful to deal with! I so appreciated his quick responses to all our questions/needs. The condo was very clean and well appointed. It was spacious and bright, and the wall photography and lighting made the living room very relaxing and inviting. The sound system in the living room was a definite bonus! The kitchen was very well equipped with dishes, utensils, appliances, etc., and there was an ample supply of linens, beach towels and beach gear available as well! The beach was less than a 10 min. stroll away, and from there you can continue down the available paths and beach hop along the higher end beach hotel areas. We easily walked down to the Grand Wailea and had lunch and then took a nice stroll back. We have always stayed in hotels, so this was our first try at staying in a condo. Great choice....no regrets!!!

What an amazing stay for our first time in Maui! We travelled as a couple for our friend's wedding and she had asked everyone to stay at The Palms at Wailea. We were so happy to have had the chance to book this particular unit.
Lawrence (the owner) was a pleasure to deal with! We found it very handy to deal directly with the owner as he was so kind, knowledgeable and quick to respond. He even coordinated the install of a brand new dishwasher while we were there, awesome!
The pictures are spot-on for what you can expect, the condo was by far the nicest one out of all of our friends that stayed in the complex. Modern, clean, comfortable and contemporary! Everything you needed was there, it felt like we were staying at a close friend's home.
We truly enjoyed the comforts of the condo (air conditioning in both the living room and bedroom, great TV's & surround sound, large bathroom, in-suite laundry, plenty of closet space, every kitchen amenity you would need, beautiful and spacious lanai).
Ideal location for staying in the Kihei/Wailea area, everything is very close and accessible. We walked to the nearby beach, really appreciated that the condo came with beach chairs, coolers, snorkel gear.
I absolutely LOVED staying here! My boyfriend actually proposed on the last day of our trip so this Canadian couple will certainly be back for a future honeymoon! :)

This condo is fantastic - the decor is stunning and the location is perfect. We could easily walk to nearby Wailea beaches and go for runs along the path by the ocean in front of all the high-end hotels. The bed is incredibly comfortable and it was great to have air-conditioning in the bedroom and living room, although we only used it in the bedroom. Having two full bathrooms was very convenient, as was the washer/dryer. The kitchen is the perfect size and all the appliances worked well. It was enjoyable to go between the kitchen and the lanai when cooking. There was a ton of available beach gear, including bear chairs, an umbrella, coolers and snorkel gear. The artwork in the condo is stunning and the blue and white theme of the decor makes you feel like you're in your own beach house. Parking was right outside the unit. All in all, very enjoyable and I would definitely stay here again.

September 2014
My wife and I simply cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had staying here! It was truly better than the Grand Wailea and definitely MUCH cheaper.
OWNER - Lawrence is first class! The customer service, attention to details, and transaction was wonderful. With so many options we wanted to make sure we were making the right decision, and was not only the condo in creditable, working with Lawrence assured us that if someone of his character owned it, we would be in good hands.
CONDO - It's just as shown in the pictures! Spacious and modern floorplan, large bedroom with vaulted ceilings, it's own large bathroom, plenty of closet space, full 2nd bathroom, large kitchen, living area, dinning table, patio, and awesome upgrades like surround Bose speakers, cable TV in bedroom and living room. Patio has a nice, large grill, lounge chairs, seating area, and a large glass window that opens to the kitchen.
Beach essentials are included (towel, chairs, etc...). Everything is first class, even the new Tommy Bahamas beach chairs.
The kitchen has everything you need and more... all the cooking items, oven, microwave, coffee machine, wine opener, etc...
(Full disclosure - the only thing that was not updated, but the kitchen appliances... but definitely NOT needed to be updated. They worked perfectly)
Condo is an upstairs unit, that does not share a wall.
Condo is a 2 minute walk to the pool/Jacuzzi area, and a 10-12 minute walk to the beach.
LOCATION - It's VERY quiet and upscale neighborhood. You can hear some road noise from the condo, but nothing to be concerned. Extremely safe area!!!
It's about a 30 minute ride from the airport.
DO I NEED A CAR? - It depends as to what you're planning to do. If you want to simply stay at the condo and surrounding areas your whole stay, I'd say no. It will be an expensive cab ride, but you'll save long term. HOWEVER, if you're planning to do the highly recommended Road to Hana, snorkel Molokini, visit the Shops at Wailea, the Outlets in Lahaina, the Grand Wailea, grocery runs, etc... than yes, rent a car!
FOOD - Check with Lawrence, but chances are you'll have some the basics for cooking, oil, salt, pepper, etc... there's a Safeway within a 8 minutes drive for groceries. There isn't a restaurant within a reasonable walking distance (20+ minutes).
The condo has a huge collection of spices/herbs.
THINGS TO DO - See Kai Kanani for snorkeling, Road to Hana and the Bamboo fores is a MUST!

A wonderful unit! My wife and I have never been and wanted an amazing experience. Lawrence didn't disappoint. Great soundsystem, elegant decor. Everything was perfect. The palms is a fantastic resort with a great pool and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Highly recommended!

We just returned from this beautifully renovated condo which is bright and fresh. The bed is very comfortable, the sound system is great and the condo is very well equipped. The deck is large and the grounds are lovely. The pool is quite close to the unit and the shops and ocean access are very close. Lawrence is wonderful to deal with and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

My Husband and I recently stayed at Lawrence's beautiful unit at The Palms at Wailea on Maui. The apartment was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The location was great and only a short walk to the beach. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer than five days. The lanai was a great place to relax. We Thank-You, Lawrence, for sharing your place with us and being so helpful. We hope to visit again.

We're a German couple. That was our 5th trip to Maui.
The first 3 times we enjoyed the very nice Hotels on Kaanapali coast. This time it was our second time that we rent a condo. And we can totally recommand this place. Lovely remodeld with everything you need. I'm a housewife, so we went out for dinner every evening. But breakfast we always enjoyed on the nice balcony. Very nice Restaurants with great fish! But if you prefer to cook, there is nothing in the condo you would miss! Best beaches in the world!
And we appriciate to use the beach chairs and umbrella very much!! I love the photos and the lights in the evening. And of course the cosy bed! Lawrence is so helpful with everything. Additional housekeeping, no problem, he so friendly and helps right away. We enjoyed every single Moment and we would love to visit more often.....we are sad it's so far away. But maybe one day..........So enjoy paradise in this great condo!!! Sorry for the "German-English" ;)

My wife and I stayed at this unit October 23-27. The unit has nice upgrades, is beautifully decorated and offers some extra touches, including two HD flat screen TV's and an extremely well equipped kitchen with spices, condiments and other items we usually need to buy ourselves. Rooms are good size and very comfortable. Lawrence also provides beach chairs, umbrella and snokeling equipment (another savings)! The unit is fairly close to the beautiful pool (a great place to view amazing sunsets) and a reserved parking spot located steps from the unit. We also appreciated the great location that was about a 3-5 minute drive to shops, restaurants and some of the most beautiful beaches on Maui. We look forward to renting this unit the next time we visit Maui.

What a beautiful Condo in the perfect location! Lawrence did a wonderful job renovating this property everything you could possibly need to make you feel at home is included! My husband and I spent several days at the unit and can't wait to return! Sitting on the deck watching the stars at night was just one of the highlights for me. We would highly recommend this unit to anyone traveling to Maui!
