Great condo and location!

We had an excellent stay. Our only drawbacks were that only working TV was in the 2nd bedroom, there was no telephone to call for the shuttle to the beach cabana, no working ice maker and ALL food must be kept off counters at all time or it will attract ants immediately. All of these were minor inconveniences but the reasons I didn't go 5 stars all the way.
I would absolutely stay in this unit again

My wife and I and college grads kids and their girlfriend and boyfriend. This condo was the perfect setup. Had everything we needed. Perfect location, market right next door, pool right there, Black Rock and beaches short walk. Beautiful area.
We will definitely be back. 💪

Location was great, fully suited our needs from sleeping arrangements to cooking meals. Ideal for pool and hot tub access as well as the community BBQ. Short beautiful walk to beach access. Walking distance to restaurants luau’s. We experienced several days of heavy rains which was not in our plans but having the room and comfort for the family in the condo was worth it. There were games and puzzles which was a great way to pass some time. Few things that were addressed with the property management that really was not a problem for us while our time in the condo was the main living area AC was not working which was going to be addressed at check out and the ice maker was not working but we purchased a bag of ice from the local whalers general store right around the corner, the toaster did not work but we just used the oven to toast our bagels, the property management offered to bring us a replacement but it was not needed we made it work for us, those few things were not a issue for us. Due to the January heavy rains the master bedroom did have a few water leaks from above the sliding glass doors I believe because of the second floor lanai was not level. Again addressed with the property management and they were very nice to speak with. Over all we want to come back and hopefully get the same Condo. Highly recommend for a family get away.

Enjoyed our stay and enough for all who stayed to do and enjoy. Great place for walking to many convenient businesses/food in the area. Would definitely stay here again.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at this house, we’ve loved it every time. The update is nice. It has always been clean and well stocked

Our family had a delightful time at ElDorado! The grounds were well taken care of, flowers gorgeous! We basically slept here and were off doing tours/swimming/snorkeling during the day. It was an added bonus to find coolers, chairs, body boards and swim towels in the closet. We did get to swim and use the hot tub a few of the evenings which was super nice. I love doing laundry before going home so that was an added bonus. The kitchen was adequately stocked as far as I could tell. We did make breakfast a few of the mornings but otherwise we did eat out most of the time. We did get groceries and it was more expensive than I remember when we were in Hawaii 4 years ago. We travel with our kids 20, 18, 16 and they all want their own beds. The 2 queens in one room and the pull out sofa and the king room was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. The condo was very clean, but a little outdated. It is a quiet area, easy walk to get coffee and an easy walk to the beach. Black Rock beach is within walking distance (10-15 minutes)but we drove instead. The owners were super responsive and we were able to check in a few hours early. We love Hawaii and someday hope to come back!! We would definitely stay here again!! Thanks so much!!

Unit was spacious. Dinning table could seat 7-8 but there were only 4 chairs. Had maintenance issues with a toilet, shower and the front door. Issues were mostly fixed.

Had a wonderful trip with our 2 kids, 4 and 2 years old. The ground floor was great for the kids, right across from the pool. About a 5 min walk to the beach and the private cabana was great with chairs, towels and umbrellas to borrow. Lots of toys and more chairs/umbrella at unit when we went to other beaches. The kitchen had upgraded appliances which was nice. The mattresses could all use to be replaced. The mattress in the master if very soft, and the 2 in the other room you could feel all of the springs in. Luckily we put the kids in there who didn't mind. The unit was clean and the large bath and shower were very nice. Overall great stay, thank you!

This property is amazing. This is a two bedroom lockout with king suite to the right and the double queen with kitchen ahead. Both have doors and bedroom can be locked. The king room has a huge open space in front of the bed with couch, chair, and a couple dressers with a TV and the smaller bathroom of the two with shower. Go straight and you enter into the kitchen, dining room, living room which also has a ton of room and very large bathroom, laundry and access to the 2 queens.
Extras not really mentioned - they do have a lot of snorkeling equipment and some of it has seen the end of life but we were able to piece together 3 snorkeling sets. You also have chairs, umbrella, two boogie boards, cooler and maybe some other misc beach/pool stuff. However if you use the cabana, don't haul your chairs down as you can use the ones they provide unless you want to go down before the cabana opens.
Kitchen has a ton of extra stuff - drip coffee maker (do not buy filters - probably has over 1000 filters still), electric griddle, some case iron, knife set, lots of pots and pans, dishes, silverware, etc. They also have a ton of spices.
Only complaint about the rental unit would be WIFI - you get instructions from the property manager but those don't coincide with what the unit has. There was no network named after the room but what you need is on back of the router including password. Service was great to non existent but I am not sure that had anything to do with the equipment.
Location is amazing - you can't get closer to the main pool gate and noise is not an issue. Also a quick walk on the path has you on the beach by the cabana which is also some of the better snorkeling in the area. It is smaller that other areas but well protected from wind and waves and you can see turtles along the old pier/rock wall. Also where you can see a decent amount of fish. My parents stayed only a mile north of us in a timeshare and they came to our location often to escape the wind. Also very short walking distance is a Whalers General store, pizza, snorkel rental, coffee shop, and a brand new Polynesian Cuisine that literally opened the day we left just to name a few places.
Property has multiple grills but they are not cleaned very well. They have bags but missing some, outdoor connect 4 but also missing pieces. My only complaint really is the lack of care to the extras on the property which has nothing to do with the rental unit. Main pool = awesome!

Unbeatable location, very comfortable mattresses, spacious rooms. It actually has lots of beach supplies and I don't think it's mentioned in the description.
Only wish the front door doesn't slam shut, it's incredibly loud and we have a baby.
The door to the bedroom adjacent to the living room has see through glass, and the blind is also super sheer, I would recommend the property management replace the blind with a more opaque one for privacy. One other thing that I would like to note is the AC in that particular room kept shutting down randomly, we were able to fix it many times but it was a bit annoying.
Overall we had an incredible time, would come back again!

This was our first stay on Maui and we were very pleasantly surprised at all the amenities this place came with. We enjoyed the location for our kids and had no problem with the pool so close by, noise wise. We will be happy to come back again.

This was our first time in Maui in over 10 years and literally the best visit EVER. I will only EVER stay at the Maui Eldorado in F104 and F105. The place is even more beautiful than the pictures and all the amenities including the pools and the beach cabana, I can just go on and on. This unit faces the pool and it is only a 10 minute walk to beach and a 15 minute walk to Whalers Village and all the big hotels. I cannot say enough about this property and it was fully stocked with everything we needed to make it the most perfect vacation. We definitely try and make this a yearly trip and will request to say in the exact same unit. There could not be a more perfect vacation rental in all of Maui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. PLENTY OF ROOM and SUPER CLEAN. The kitchen was well-equipped. The location is close to the pools, parking structure. The second bedroom with its own living space and bathroom was just what we wanted for privacy. We loved loved it. Hope to return again!

We have visited Maui many times before and love the North West side of the island. We just spent 9 days at El Dorado F104 and what we loved the most was the quietness and size of the unit. It was very clean and spacious for our family of four. We had 2 small issues when we arrived and they were taking care immediately. The grounds are very well maintained and manicured. We look forward to the next visit to El Dorado.

We had ample room with 4 adults and 3 kids. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking, utensils, plastic containers to use for the beach. The beach chair, umbrella and boogie boards were great to have. The only complaint was that the main pool was under construction (supposed to be done last year), and we didn't find out about it still having work done until just prior to our trip. That was our main reason for choosing Shanna's condo. A bummer. The construction noise began early and went all day most days. Not a problem if you don't mind having the doors closed for the noise, or if you are gone during the day (we were a lot). Loved the cabana at the beach..was great to take lunch down there and enjoy it in the shade. Would love to return to Shanna's unit when we can enjoy the pool! Thanks for a great condo to stay in!!! The ocean view is a bonus!

Attractive condo in a Perfect location Sadly for us pool which is steps away was still in process of remodel The unit is nicely furnished and well equipped. For my husband and I in our 70's we felt unit could benefit from some additional lighting (old eyes). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Check in was easy. Lots of stuff in the unit for cooking cleaning and laundry. Owners answered any questions really fast. We will be staying here again.

We loved our family Maui vacation in Shanna's condo, everything was as advertised. Five adults and two children in our group and there was plenty of room in the large two bedroom design. Plenty of beach items for adults and kids in the closet and a short walk to the beach. Main pool was under construction during our visit, but a short walk to the other two pools. Would love this location when the main pool is open, as it is right out the front door. Starting to save for our next visit.

The good:
Great location, great size, tons of beach toys, nice outdoor patio, great TV for those late night movies with the kids, early check in, not far from beach, close to shopping and restaurants, small market within walking distance, great new kitchen with everything you need, large bathrooms, and the owners were great to communicate with. Pools are close - one is closed for construction but other is just out the front door and great for the kids.
The not so good:
Toilet in smaller bathroom would sometimes take a few flushes to flush, the dryer stopped working on the last day, plan on buying your own toilet paper and paper towels if you have a large family as they don't supply extra. I wish you would consider changing this and just go to Kmart or Costco and have a supply for your guest.
The ugly:
Bring the febreze or candles because it is very musty smelling. I am not sure if it was the carpet or the curtains or what but the smell almost knocks you over when you enter the unit.
To me I would furnish paper towels and toilet paper for my guest. You can go to Kmart or Costco and buy and big package and keep

We loved everything about this condo. The pictures provided in the listing certainly don't do it justice, as considerable renovation has been done to the kitchen and living room areas. Brand new kitchen cabinetry and appliances. New flat screen TV in the living room, along with TV's in the two bedrooms. Both bathrooms have huge walk-in showers; one also has a deep, deep bathtub. That bathroom also has a washer/dryer combo. The bedrooms themselves are as large or larger than a hotel room. The condo is just steps away from the main pool, which also has a couple of gas grills and a shuffleboard court along with lots of chairs, lounges, tables with umbrellas. There is also a lanai with lounge chairs and a dining area if you don't want to leave the condo. My wife and I would lay on the lounges at night and just star gaze. The stars seem to be closer and clearer on Maui! The grounds at the Maui Eldorado are quite pretty. The staff maintains the area daily. It is an easy 10 minute stroll from the condo to Ka'anapali Beach. My 81 year old mother walked it every time she went to the beach. Another option is calling the desk for a golf cart ride down to the beach. The cabana attendant can arrange for a ride back to the condo, if needed. What impressed me the most was all of the "little things" that Shanna and Gary provide. Lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, and silverware. Beach toys for little kids. Snorkel gear for big kids. Plenty of towels. They also provide Tupperware for leftovers, coolers to take your lunch and drinks down to the cabana. Multiple coffee pots and ironing boards/irons. I know I'm forgetting some things; hopefully this gives a decent overview of the property. I don't know when my next trip to Maui will be, but when I do come back, I will definitely stay here.

We stayed in this unit 3 years ago and where booked to stay again in March. The owners informed us shortly before to let us know there was water damage and we would need to be relocated. The owners helped in finding a new unit at the Maui Eldorado and transferred the booking. They were very apologetic and concerned about our well being. I understand the previous negative comments as I am sure that was the condition of the unit at the time. However, an accident that was no fault of their own does not reflect the true nature of this owner. I found them to be good honest people who were concerned about their guests. I can not comment on the unit post renovations as it was still under repairs but I can say the location is excellent and the Maui Eldorado is fantastic value for your money. We would stay at no other location on Maui.

Our family had booked a stay for next week for this condo, but due to water damage, the condo had to have urgent repairs that would prevent us from staying there. The owners were fantastic in dealing with the situation. Shanna(the owner) let us know right away, and found us another place in the same resort for the same price. She kept us updated with daily emails on the status of obtaining another condo, and responded to all of our emails and questions within a day. Unfortunately, when the replacement condo did not work out due to the owner being out of the country, Shanna stuck with us and made sure we got our funds back. Although we never saw her place, she is the perfect owner to deal with, very positive, very responsive, and a woman of her word. We highly recommend she and her husband!

We arrived on Dec 22, early evening, to find our condo not acceptable. The musty mold/mildew odor was quite apparent and overpowering upon opening the front door to see that there was water on the kitchen floor. Not sure if it was coming from the frig or sink, we called the listed maintenance number with no answer or answering service. This was just the beginning...
The kitchen had a panel missing on the front of the sink looking very much in disrepair, the coffee pot was an electrical hazard, broken dishwasher, stove burners worked minimally or were broken, cockroaches, and no wifi! UGH! No vacation for us!
I was in constant contact with the owner who was making efforts to take care of our complaints although that doesn't make up for the inconvenience of maintenance people, appliance replacement, internet tech, and numerous emails and phone calls during my ‘so called’ vacation. I wouldn't have been so hard on this review if I had thought these were 'new' problems but they obvious were ongoing issues that hadn't been dealt with and now we are inconvenienced on our family vacation at 'our' expense. After 5 days, REALLY!, 6 people and no dishwasher wasn't cool! We ‘paid’ dearly…if you know what I mean! Cockroaches!!! How clean does that feel?
I would not recommend this condo to others.

This condo smells awful. We were literally worried about breathing the air because of visible black mold on the ceiling near the AC unit and in the cupboards near all the sinks. The location was great and this is the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars and not 1. There are stains on the carpets. The owner was good about communication. I would not recommend anyone stay in this unit until it is thoroughly cleaned and the mold is removed.
