Our family of 5, including two very young children, stayed here for a week. The grounds were beautiful and we saw sea turtles in the water and on the beach daily. The location is close to stores and other beaches. One thing to be aware of - this property is very quiet and they do their best to keep it that way. Given the turtles and year round residents, it is understandable. Be aware if you have loud children, this may not be the location for you. No games are allowed in the pool and the sign at pool area for forbids “boisterous conduct.” Reserved children would do well here.

We had a fantastic time at this location; while the actual accommodations aren't exactly the Ritz Carlton, they are more than sufficient, and this place has a view of the ocean and the beach that no Ritz Carlton *I* know of can match - and for the price, there likely are very few locations that are better. We'd absolutely stay here again, without question.

Imagine you can see a sea turtle lying on the beach in front your property everyday. You do bbq next to the beach and listen the wave. that’s what the experience is.
Meanwhile, the property is clean, amenities are all there plus a portable ac on the 2nd floor.
The property manager is great. They are able to respond back and provide timely support.
Kudos to the resident at the Hale Mahina resort also, they are so nice and friendly. They maintain the garden the swimming pool the bbq stove very well.

Hale Marina is fantastic. Quaint, quiet, very relaxing. We have three kids and it was very nice, though I think that if you have very hyperactive kids it may not be the place for you. The condo was very nice. All as described. Nice amenities. Very comfortable. All very clean. Lanai was great.
No complaints for us at all, it was perfect. We would come back in a heartbeat.

We've been to big island and kauai several times but this was our first trip to Maui. Overall, beautiful island. We explored quite a bit and really liked the Kihei side the best. The condo had a nice pool/hottub and location to the sandy beach was amazing. The lack of a/c (other than a small portlable window unit upstairs) and essential quite supplies (like tupperware, ziploc bags, ect) was a little dissa[pointing but we made due.

Beautiful location, with balcony overlooking ocean, just a in pictures. Wonderful hearing ocean sounds at night and having coffee as sun rose in morning, Ceiling fans provided very adequate breeze, at least for December when temps were in the high 70's. My guess is that the second bedroom (not the main one in the loft, might get a bit warm and stuffy in warmer weather as it wouldn't get the breeze as experienced in the rest of the unit. That room could also probably use a bit of minor maintenance, but nothing significant.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We came to celebrate our son’s 16th birthday as well as graduation present for our daughter’s graduation from HS. We had a great time. Our condo had a beautiful view and the pictures online were exactly how it was. The only issue was when it rained there was a leak in the bedroom we stayed in and it was wet on the floor under bed. It could of been from the window not sure. Other than that, we loved it and will definitely stay here again :)

Two of my girlfriends and I stayed here for what was my 3rd week in Hawaii. This was my 4th rental location on my trip.
Gorgeous view from the balcony, felt pretty private there. We didn't hear a lot of noise from the pool or other balconies, despite there being people around. No noise from other units, either. Plenty of parking, never had an issue. My friends report their beds were "really comfortable." It was nice to have the beach chairs and umbrella.
We had a great time in this place, but would suggest a few improvements. The Jalousie windows are old and the screens blew out in winds, which resulted in us not using them very much, which was unfortunate on warmer days. We felt the livingroom was too dimly lit - no overhead lighting. There are lamps, but not enough for us to play cards or a board game. We would have loved a bunch of hooks for drying swimsuits and towels. The listing mentioned a cooler, but there wasn't one there. And, because I am short and picky, I wish the showerheads were updated :-)!
But for 3 moms escaping 8 kids after 18 months of pandemic, this was a sweet vacation and we will talk about it forever.

We really enjoyed our time in this quiet condo complex. The view from the lanai is spectacular with a nice breeze that blows through since it's the corner unit and you can watch the whales from there while having a morning cup of coffee. Having a small beach to swim is great but the fact that turtles swim up there to rest makes it an even more special place to be (of course keeping a respectful distance of them though).
The unit was clean and exactly as posted. It is a loft unit so one needs to expect that sound does travel up there. Fans and the cross-breeze through the unit were sufficient to keep us comfortable in the evenings.
Outside, there are communcal bbqs and a pool. It's not fancy but since I come for the ocean, it was just an added bonus to have. Great trip! Will definitely stay here again!

A wonderful location in a clean and modern rental. Easy access to beach, swimming pool, hot tub, barbecue pits, and town. Perfect balcony where we watched whales, turtles and beautiful sunsets. The rental had everything you need. Will definitely stay here again.

This condo was everything it was advertised to be. Clean, comfortable, convenient. We did notice we had more clouds this far from Lahaina (which isn't far at all) but that wasn't a problem at all. Just something to take note of if you're staying on this side of town. It made for more rainbows 🌈 We would definitely stay here again. Sea turtles on the beach, and even though it was nearing the end of whale season we did get to see a whale breaching on the horizon one of the days we spent on the beach. The property is kept nice and clean. We used the bbq one evening and had a wonderful meal while listening to the waves crash. I made breakfast brunch and we ate on the lanai. Just perfect.

The condo turned out to be perfect! I was worried about not having air conditioning but it was not much of an issue....the front bedroom could use a ceiling fan. The ceiling fan in the living room did not work and even though we did ask to have it fixed, no one came. That being said we would go back in a second! The view was amazing, sunsets beautiful and we saw whales everyday from the balcony. The beach is a perfect spot, grounds maintained beautifully. The pool was a big hit with the kids and it was also very well maintained. Fun but also peaceful we really enjoyed simply hanging out on property. Plenty of space for all 5 of us. Place was clean and had everything we needed. Close to stores and farmers market. Loved it!

This place was clean and pretty. You have an amazing view of the ocean and nice patio furniture on the deck that seats many people. The place has no air conditioning and I wish we hadn't gone in August. I think it would have been find for a breezier month. The property is kept in perfect condition and the flowers are just unbelievable. The pullout bed on the couch cannot be used and needs repair or to be replaced. Overall this place is a DREAM.

We stayed from February 23 till March 2, 2017. Awesome views from the lanai and the condo was absolutely wonderful and well equipped with everything that a home should have. We saw lots of whales and every day the turtles would come up on the beach and sun themselves, never knew they were so huge.

I cannot say enough good things about this condo. It was a great experience from start to finish. I can tell you our favorite part: the view! We were fortunate enough to stay here during whale migration season and were amazed to see how spectacular the view was from our balcony. Every morning and afternoon we watched pods of whales shoot water into the air and breach as they frolicked in the sea.
The location of the condo is perfect for swimming and enjoying nature. Sea turtles often swam under and around us before beaching themselves on the sand for a nice snooze. There are snorkeling and other beach areas within walking distance as well. On MWF there is a farmer's market that has some amazing fare like passion fruit cream cheese, pineapple or banana bread and a large selection of fresh produce (try the tiny bananas!). If you want to shop or do other outdoors activities you will need a car, bike or bus it. It's about a 10 minute drive to the major hotel chains, grocery store and one of the malls and 45 minutes to Kahului (the airport). Most of the major stores are located near the airport so plan on doing big shopping when you land.
The condo itself was perfectly equipped with everything you need to eat, clean, wash clothes, grill out, boogie board or snorkel. This is a 4 story condo and this unit is on the top floor, therefore giving it more space than other units. We enjoyed the layout as the master suite is upstairs and looking down onto the living room and out into the ocean. It got a little warm during the day and there is no AC. However the electric stand fans worked great to get the air moving and cool everything off. The only thing that could stand some updating are the mattresses. The first day we got there we all thought "oh these beds are great". But after about day 2 our backs were aching and the beds lost some of their luster. But that really is a minor detail.
Bottom line, if you are looking for an amazing relaxing place to stay during your trip to Maui I HIGHLY recommend this property. The owners/management are extremely friendly and attentive and the property is great.

This was a perfect location for our stay on the beautiful island of Maui! Our daughter & husband were in the Xterra World Championships close by in Kapalua. They were able to focused on training while we took advantage of the amenities. The unit was fantastic yet could use an upgrade on the electronics. Thanks for the wonderful stay and we hope to see you soon!

We loved this rental overall!! Being right on the ocean helped with not having a/c but several of the louvers close with the wind and the ceiling fans really don't help much b/c they are slow speed wise. Loved having beach towels and body boards/beach items such as cooler!!! We used them every day and left a pool noodle and 2 ice packs. Only having ONE pool/beach key was a bit ridiculous having 6 people in our family and you need it to go in and out-they need to get a keyless entry. And there are no restrooms either?! Loved watching the sea turtles but we didn't experience their abundance as noted in many reviews. Sleeping arrangements were good/comfortable!! Didn't have good experience with company to help set up excursions-she never returned our call or responded after initial contact???!!! Spent time in Lahaina, went to Haleakala crater, did road to Hana, renewed our 20 yr wedding vows on Kahalua beach, saw rainbows almost daily etc...management company was fine initially but never heard from them after final payment/no welcome letter or gift as we received in Oahu and Kauai!!! We loved Maui and recommend the book Maui revealed for good tips!! There was a copy at the pool but not in condo as stated-buy beforehand and get familiar. GPS on rental was used and necessary!

We love Hale Mahina's location and the fact that it has it's own little beach. We've stayed here before but in a different unit. This particular unit has a bit of an obstructed view, building A blocks part of you view. That being said, this still offers a nice view. We had a plumbing issue and the property management company was great, quick and had the issue resolved that day.

Cozy, direct ocean front condo with sandy private beach and well manicured tropical gardens. There were six of us, the Murphy beds were top notch and provided comfortable and restful nights. Falling asleep to the sound of the surf is a true delight. This unit is as advertised, Hale Mahina is a great find. We'll be back as we already have next year's dates reserved. :)
