We couldn’t have been happier.. the property was lovely, the rental had everything and more for our family, and our hosts were friendly and helpful. We traveled all over the island in search of the best snorkeling and it turned out to be right at the beach of the property. Sea turtles and rainbows?! Amazing!

We are a family of 7(grandmother, parents and 4 teens/young adults). This condo was perfect for us. Clean, beautifully decorated, the beds were so comfortable I wish I had them at home. My husband and I enjoyed the master bedroom, my mother in law the 2nd bedroom and the four siblings bunked together in the loft upstairs & everyone was comfortable. The kitchen was updated & stocked with everything we needed. Hosts had a gift of delicious local coffee & cookies waiting for us,too. But the view- you just can’t beat the view from the lanai- absolutely gorgeous!!!! The breeze from the trade winds kept us perfectly comfortable and the sound of the waves was so soothing! A sunset view over the ocean framed by palm trees every night! I LOVED watching the whales from the lanai as well- we saw them on hikes and a whale watch/snorkeling trip, but not like the full breaches we saw from the lanai! Another of our absolute favorite experiences of the trip took place right there when we walked to the little beach next door and saw the sea turtles, and even swam with them. Absolutely once in a lifetime amazing! The pool and hot tub were sparkling and central to the complex & we all enjoyed hopping in after a day of exploring. Most wonderful of all was how helpful Dan was with his spot-on recommendations for things to do and places to eat, and how quickly he responded before and during our trip. He was so friendly and kind, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great stay. Mahalo!

Property is great for sleeping and each having own bath. Kitchen a bit small for group as well as seating at dining table and living room area. Had a few days of rain which kept us indoors and got a bit cramped. Location is good for that side of island and easy access to main roads.

This condo was the nicest on the property and had a million dollar view! This was a family trip with our kids and grand daughter and the place was perfect for us! Lovely location, very responsive host and the condo had everything we needed. Beautiful breezes that kept us comfortable throughout our stay and sitting in the swinging chairs on the lanai while listening to the ocean waves was a slice of heaven. Watching the turtles in front of the property in the early morning was an added bonus! Dan was very responsive and answered any questions we had within minutes. He also gave us great recommendations for restaurants and places to go. The pool and hot tub were delightful and kept clean throughout our stay. Thank you Dan and Stephanie! We will definitely be back!!

First off Dan is an AMAZING property owner, he's incredibly responsive and takes action immediately. We encountered a few issues during our stay and Dan addressed all of the issues quickly, efficiently and effectively, cannot say enough about Dan, he is awesome.
The property did fall a little short in my expectations due to those issues which were all mostly plumbing related. The bedrooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. There's an oddity in the electrical wiring where the ceiling fan in the main television room can only stay on when the light above the kitchen table is on so leaving the ceiling fan overnight is only possible if the light bulbs are disconnected. The upstairs loft area is very nice, the upstairs bathroom does need work, the tiles in the tub are older and a renovation would be necessary soon. The complex is nice, views from the balcony did see whales and turtles which was great! Since it was during Christmas and New Years there were lots of families in the complex. Also there is NO air conditioning in the condo (very typical for Maui) since there was no air conditioning the windows need to be open all the time. The air flow is very comfortable; however; the noise level from the adjacent condos is amplified with crying children, alarms going off at very early hours (4:00 am). There nearest "nice" beach is definitely a car ride away. Dan does provide all the necessary beach equipment and then some! In fact the condo has just about anything anyone could for including games and great kitchen supplies.
Overall our stay was very good once we got past the issue and this was due to Dan's attentiveness and care. If you're looking for a comfortable condo with a great owner this is your place, thanks again Dan!

Having use of rental car at property was convenient. We enjoyed the location closer to North shore away from the resorts and traffic, yet was an easy drive to Front St. The 3 bedroom set up worked for our family of 5. and the views were stunning. Great vacation, would return again

Polynesian Shores met the needs of our family of 6. There were 3 full baths and a bed for everyone. The pool was nice and never too crowded. The view was stunning. We were very warm because there was no air conditioning and we were up at the crack of dawn every day because the windows and blinds needed to stay open for the breeze. Birds were loud, neighbors were loud and the sun was bright! Maui and was beautiful and I hope to return soon.

I really liked Dan. He was very helpful and very prompt to answer any questions. The property is in a good location. I loved being on the water. I thought the beach area was going to be larger with more sand.
I was disappointed that the property did not have air conditioning. It was totally my fault because I never even thought to ask or look to see if there was air conditioning. It was hot! We kept all the windows and doors open to get the breeze but I’m use to air conditioning when I sleep. I was uncomfortable leaving the front door open at night because you are literally on top of your neighbor- walls are paper thin.
The master bedroom faces the parking lot and the garbage trucks start really early(6am) in the morning. It was loud in the morning because of the parking lot noise.
I didn’t want to say anything negative but I just want the next family to know what they are renting. Good location, awesome management., plenty of space for a family, no air conditioning, carpet, drive to a real beach and very close to neighbors.

As a family of seven (2 couples and 3 kids)—there were three bedrooms and bathrooms—and the loft had beds for the 3 girls. We were very pleased with the arrangement. The condo overlooks the pool so we could monitor our teen girls at the pool. A wonderful experience for all was when we took a path to a ladder into the ocean where we could swim with the huge sea turtles—thrilling! A lovely tropical setting! The only drawbacks were 1) the spiral staircase to the loft that two of us bumped our heads on (we later hung a towel on it) and 2) we had to leave and go home.

This was our first time to Hawaii and this property was fantastic! Location was great, the property was clean and as advertised and the owners were great at answering all our questions. We hope to be back soon and definitely recommend this property.

This condo was exactly as advertised. We have stayed at many different locations over the years and this is one of our new favorites. Polynesian Shores is a smaller complex which we prefer. The condo was wonderful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed. There were beach chairs, snorkels, boogie boards and floaties which we got good use out of. The best part of the condo is the deck! I could sit for hours (and did some days) watching the whales and the beautiful ocean. Dan responded quickly to any questions. One thing to be aware of is that because it is a smaller complex there is only one parking spot. If you are a large group that has two cars you will have to park one car on the street. Most days we were able to find a spot across the street. Overall it was a fabulous trip. A beautiful complex. And I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Dan!

Condo is located in outskirts of Lahaina so having access to the owner’s vehicle for US $39 per day plus insurance was a significant reason for us renting this condo. In addition it’s a rare find as it has three bedrooms with great beds and also three bathrooms. Having a good sleep is always critical and the beds were awesome. Owners were very responsive to any concerns. The condo complex is small and very family friendly. Pool and hot tub wonderful! No beach at this complex and thus the reason why the vehicle was so necessary.

We visited with my 4 kids (8,10,12, and 16) and their grandparents. Accommodations were perfect for us. The kids loved the spiral staircase up to the loft. It comfortably slept all 4 of them with their own bathroom up there as well. The adults all slept great as well. We didnt use the kitchen much outside of some fried eggs, toast and coffee, but everything was there for us.
The views from the deck were great with several whales spotted. The pool and hot tub were a perfect way for us to relax after whatever excursion we did during the day. And, the gas grills actually made me a little jealous wishing my grill at home was that nice. I managed to perfectly grill some fresh Mahi from The Fish Market Maui without it sticking to the grill!
The location was also perfect. Far enough away from Lahaina to not be busy, but close enough to get some carry out at Star Noodle or some of the other great restaurants in town. And, you dont need even need to drive the couple miles to Lahaina to get great food.
Finally, the use of the Mercedes was perfect for us and worked great. I dont know what we would have done otherwise, with rental cars so hard to find and crazy expensive if available.
Its been a little over a week since our stay, and I already miss it there. Some day we'll be back in Maui and hope to stay here again.

The condo is in a beautiful location with a great view and nice grounds. Dan was very responsive to all our questions and made some really good recommendations, especially to eat at Fish Market Maui. It was terrific having the Mercedes. There were 3 of us and it was so nice to each have our own bedroom and bathroom. There was one maintenance issue during our stay and Dan resolved it quickly, a great host!

We stayed for 2 weeks in this wonderful condo with the most Fantastic View. By the end of our stay we decided that it was the absolute best condo in the complex. Really, we should know as we spent so much time in those great hanging chairs on the patio. We were there the last 2 weeks of October this westward facing Condo did not have the glaring afternoon sun coming in the windows and had wonderful trade winds coming in and since this is a corner unit there was great air circulation. This complex location is convenient to beaches, shopping and within walking distance of restaurants. All instructions arrived prior to our arrival and were very clear. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. All and All this was a great Holiday in a great Condo. Hopefully we will be back soon.

The view was stunning. I could just sit on the balcony all day an look at the ocean. We had dinner outside each night.
The grounds were beautiful, we took family photos outside by the water.
The three bedrooms were perfect. Everyone has space to decompress and enjoy. We all loved your place, thank you for sharing it with us. Special memories were made. All our best, The Race Family.

The property looked just as in the pictures. We had a wonderful stay here, and the views and wrap around porch really could not be beat. Everything was clean, and we really appreciated that the condo supplied towels/snorkel gear/beach chairs and umbrellas/etc.
The hosts, particularly Dan, were AMAZING. We rented the car that had come with the property which unfortunately had some issues come up midweek. Luckily we were able to find another rental but Dan was very responsible and helpful, arranged for the tow and another parking space for us to use, and refunded the car rental for us, which we appreciated greatly.
We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again if we’re ever lucky enough to go back to Maui!

My family, friends and I had a wonderful stay in this unit. There is just nothing better than watching the sunset from the balcony or watching the sea turtles at the rocks daily. The beauty of this place is absolutely breath taking.
Dan was a great host and stayed in communication to make sure everything was perfect.
We can’t wait to visit again!

Highly recommend this listing. The condo is awesome, perfect location, with an incredible view. The host rapidly responds, very friendly, and wants visitors to enjoy their experience. If you’re looking for a place in Maui, you can put this at the top of your list.

Great location in Lahaina. Wish we would’ve stayed here longer. The first few nights were spent in Kihei. Next time, we will stay in Lahaina. Only changes we would prefer are a place with A/C and pest control. Minor issue with insects in the kitchen.

Better than pictured! The unit is all that you see in the photos, but what you can't see is how comfortable 219 is inside and out. My father in-law raved about how quiet and peaceful the grounds were, something you won't find at the resorts.
As for the unit, our family of 6 fit perfectly with ample room for 2 more. The beds were incredibly comfortable and actually helped my lower back/sciatica. All bathrooms have good water pressure and supplies.
The unit is stocked with beach towels and chairs, multiple sets adult and children's snorkel gear/water shoes (please be thoughtful and rinse the sand off for the next guest), umbrellas, grass mats, and sand toys.
No a/c, NO problem! The property has FANTASTIC windows, we had them all open as well as both sliders and front door our entire stay which allowed the trade winds to funnel through and cool it off with no issue.
The kitchen had everything we needed which was great since we cooked almost all meals onsite. My husband never had to wait for a grill, we were usually the first ones down around 4:30-5pm. It did get a little busy closer to 6/7.
According to another owner, this is the first year that the little beach is under water, but maybe just a seasonal thing? That didn't stop our 17 yr old daughters and niece from walking across the rocks and even snorkeling with the turtles right out our back door.
As for location...you really can't beat it. Less than 5 min north and south takes you to some of the best snorkeling and swimming beaches. Old Airport beach was our favorite as it provided snorkeling to the right with rocks and reef and swimming to the left over a sandy bottom, this was the Kaanapali end of the beach with Black Rock visible a bit further down.
The SUV was outstanding! So thankful to have it available during the covid rebound. Transportation is hard to find right now.
Dan and Stephanie, my family cannot thank you enough for your prompt responses, assistance, and over all a spectacular stay. You were so kind and patient and went above and beyond to accommodate our arrival situation.
Mahalo...we will be back!

We spent over a week at this condo as a family of six and can only rave about our experience! The expansive lanai provided the ideal setting to enjoy a peaceful morning gazing at the ocean and the perfect spot to enjoy a magnificent Maui sunset. You cannot beat the views from this condo! Our family loved walking near the ocean and lava rocks at the edge of the property and saw numerous crabs and tons of sea turtles so close! The community is quiet and exceptionally well maintained. The condo was clean, beautifully decorated, and conveniently located near the best activities and restaurants in west Maui. There were so many extras included, and we especially appreciated the beach toys and chairs, complete snorkel sets, and nice beach/pool towels. The pool and spa were never crowded and refreshing to enjoy any time of day. Having the SUV available to rent was an absolute lifesaver for us and we are so thankful for the amazing daily rate the hosts provided. It’s a quick drive from the condo to the best beaches on Maui, our favorites being Napili Bay and Kapalua Bay. Dan and Stephanie are the perfect hosts, so kind and always quick to respond. We hope to return!!!
