We loved the outside area next to the sea wall and being able to watch the sea turtles. Very clean, good location, and budget friendly! The restaurants nearby were delicious. Loved this place!

My partner and I stayed here for our honeymoon - I loved the location to the harbor as I had excursions planned that took off from there, having a pool, and having a clean home and comfy bed to come back to each day. The best part was the view every morning, which was even more spectacular in person! Turtles at the breakwater which was steps from the lanai everyday, and a beautiful walk along the rock wall. It was fairly windy, which may be attributed to the time of year or the location on Maui, but the breeze was perfect to cool down the house each day. Quiet, ideal place for two that I would be thrilled to stay at again.

Fantastic property! Very private. Despite being ground floor, there was no one walking in front of the lanai and so it felt very private and was quiet. Unit was well equipped with all we needed for a 6 night stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property was as advertised. It was in a great location, with easy access to anywhere on Maui. The furniture and appliances were well maintained and we had a real assortment of cutlery, other cooking utensils and spices, which was a nice surprise. In comparison to friends who stayed in the same block, they were not as well supplied with all the necessities, as we were. It was also nice to have beach chairs and towels provided by the rental company. The only issue we had was the sofa bed which was not very comfortable. The rental company was very quick to respond to any questions we had, and were very thorough on the instructions on what to expect when we arrived. Overall I would recommend this property to others.

We found the property to be in a good location and well kept as a whole. The grounds and pool were well taken care of. This particular unit is on the ground floor, which has its pro’s and con’s (same as any). The unit has everything you would need in it and was clean. The management team are very responsive, accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our time.

We stayed in the condo for 9 days. It’s a fairly small condo but you can certainly pack in a whole family comfortably if needed. The kitchen is well equipped and makes it easy to save money on food if you don’t want to eat out. I have some dietary restrictions so it was good to cook for the family sometimes. The location doesn’t seem to be super popular in Maui. I’m not sure why, though. Although there aren’t lots of beaches or shops right there, it’s pretty central on the island so you can get to anywhere you want pretty quickly. My wife and some snorkel and so we spent a lot of our visit hitting the beaches. None of the good ones were more than a 30 min drive away. The only longer drives are for the crater and Hana but those are a trek no matter what. This spot also gets breezy so it’s pretty cool at night, which is great when the days are hot. The check in and check out were easy and straightforward. Would absolutely stay here again. Thanks!!

Initial instructions from Destination Vacations (DV) was excellent. Master key would not unlock the front door upon my arrival. Called Destination Vacations. They had an individual meet me to try and unlock the door. Very difficult to unlock door. Codes would not work on keyless entry. Next morning could not lock door so had to leave unlocked until I returned. DV tried but could not lock door. After working with the owner, DV installed a new keyless lock, which worked fine. Lots of excuses as to why owner did not want to change keyless lock. Information I received from another housekeeper and DV was this lock has been an issue before. I just needed to be able to access and depart condo to include locking and unlocking. Hot water heater had to be replaced 2nd day I was there. DV stayed with contractor until work complete. Housekeeper did not replace dirty sponges with a clean sponge. Two light bulbs out in lamps. After notifying DV, they replaced light bulbs, threw out dirty sponges and replaced with clean sponge. Quiet area. No issues with pool noise. Coffee pot had not been cleaned. Very dirty. Cleaned it myself. A number of these issues could have been addressed with housekeeping. I commend Destination Vacations for their response to my issues. The owner should have offered compensation to me for issues I had with the condo. The lock was the BIGGEST ISSUE. Living room movable A/C worked ok. Does not cool the bedroom though.

The property was perfect for our stay. Spacious and well equipped with everything you would need. Was lovely to listen to the ocean from the lanai. It’s a quiet area (which we liked) with not much on around so you need a car. There is a lovely beach at the end of the road that you can walk and a few areas that are good for swimming. The proximity to the marina is perfect and Lahaina can be reached easily by bus. The property managers were helpful and responsive. The app was a nice added bonus. If your looking for a beautiful quiet sanctuary, this certainly fits the bill! Thanks for everything.

The place was CLEAN and had all amenities. They had all the beach chairs, towels etc… to borrow as well. The managers were very easy to communicate with. The location was a bit more out of the way for any nightlife within walking distance. It is a close to the airport which was nice. The AC in the living room was a nice touch, but the bedroom did get a bit toasty at night. We used the ceiling fan and given the time of year, it worked just fine! We would stay here again, the little kinks weren’t a deal breaker for us.

This is a great place to stay for couple or small family. The apartment was clean and well organized. The view from the lanai was great - we were able to watch whales jump and splash while we ate breakfast. Unit has A/C, but honestly we enjoyed opening the doors and keeping it breezy. Location was great too - it made for a quick drive to Kihei or Lahaina. Definitely recommend.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is certainly one of the nicest rental condos I have stayed in. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets and countertops have all been recently updated, along with the flooring and furnishings. The kitchen is probably the best stocked (appliances, utensils and gadgets) I have ever seen. All in all a very nice place to stay.There are a few items that were not to my liking. First and foremost, the photo shown is not at all what you actually see when sitting on the lanai. There is the pool wall and pool utility room roof directly in front of you. I would clasify it as an eye sore. If you can look beyond that, there is a view of the water and Haleakala as well as the occasional whale spout. Second, as one previous review states, the front door area is very poorly lit and impossible to see the digit on the lock after dark. PUT A MOTION ACTIVATED LIGHT IN - THEY'RE CHEAP! Next, there is a small appliance in the bedroom called an ArcticKing. It is a miniature evaporative cooler. There are two huge problems here. Evaporative coolers only work when the humidity is below 35%. Worst of all, it works with a small reservoir of water. Unless it is cleaned almost daily, black mold grows here and if used, blows those spores out into the room for you to breathe while sleeping. It is a health hazard - THROW IT AWAY!!Lastly, the welcome note said there is a starting supply of coffee. There was no coffee. Also, the coffee pot auto timer doesn't work and it is equiped with a "CONE" filter system. They only supply basket paper filters so you can't make a half of a pot of coffee without the grounds spilling over the edge and into the pot. YUK!! Buy a new coffee pot...

This place is comfortable and cozy, with everything we needed for a relaxing week on Maui. We loved the walkability to Ma'alaea Harbor and shops. We love how quiet this property is at night!

Great spot to see turtles and whales right from your window. Comfortable property with access to grills for cooking a nice dinner. Just a short walk to the Maui Ocean Aquarium, shopping and restaurants.

This is a nice location. It’s not busy at all. The condo had all we needed to cook for ourselves. The water is right there. Not a great area to go swimming. But turtle watching was fun.

Sorry for the delay in this review. My wife and I really enjoyed your rental. It was clean and well stocked the ocean view was terrific and the short distance to watch the turtles swimming in the surf was amazing. If I could make 1 suggestion would be to install a ceiling fan in the bedroom, it got a little stuffy at night. If we make it back to Maui we would rent again. Thanks Ron and Mary

We found cockroaches in the kitchen. At first, we found them in the garage can. Then we saw a few scatter when we opened the drawers in the kitchen. Not only were there cockroaches, there is no air conditioning in the bedroom. We contacted the management company and they moved us right away. We spent most of our first full day in Maui moving to a different condo.. We tried to work with the management company but they never apologized or offered compensation for the inconvenience. The new condo lacked many amenities but we were not compensated for that either. They started ignoring my emails. I would wait until the cockroaches are completely gone before booking. You don’t want to end up bringing them home with you.
