We loved our week-long stay here! The views are incredible and the snorkeling is fantastic. The condo had everything we needed and plenty of room for 2. We appreciated the extra fans, and along with opening the windows and doors at both ends, the constant tradewind breezes are blissful. The complex is quiet, clean, and very peaceful. We can’t wait to visit again some day!

Enjoyed staying in this sizable penthouse condos with private beach access and views of Lanai and Molokai. Quick access to Highway 30 and to local shops, restaurants, grocery stores and nearby beaches in Ka'anapali, Kapalua and Lahaina. Having a kitchen was great and helped save from having to eat out all meals. Having access to plenty of towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach toys and umbrellas was greatly appreciated, as was the washer and dryer. Furnishings are a little dated and the whole place could use a deep cleaning. Overall, it was a great stay.

Property was better than advertised! They have thought of everything, we have never been to a better equipped rental. The condo was immaculately clean and the view from the lanai was spectacular. We were treated to rainbows over Molokai, the sound of ocean waves crashing outside our door every night and too many sea turtles cruising the shore to count. Beth was very helpful with communications and we couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Thank you for a great stay! Mahalo!!!

We loved our stay at Hale Mahina A207❤️ we have stayed in this condo complex 6 times and really love that is small, right on the ocean with a lovely little beach. It’s very very quiet…except for the waves. This condo was one of the nicest that we have stayed at…newly renovated, great floors, nice shower, very well equipped kitchen and best of all, a really comfortable King bed. Loved that the owner has a closet filled with boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler . The Lanai had a table for 4 that we ate all our stay at home meals at, and 2 very nice lounges. We really missed going into Lahaina …so sad about the devastating fire,but there are so many other beautiful places to see in Maui. I’d definitely stay in this Condo again.

Great things were : We loved the amazing beach views with palm trees and grass The pull out couch mattress was comfortable. The pool was nice Place was surface clean only Friendly neighbors Had an Elevator The owners are wonderful and quick to answer emails Shower curtain and decorations were nice and Maui themed What was not so nice: Sheets pillows and mattress pads looked old and SMELLED dirty and stained We had to wash everything to feel comfortable using them The kitchen cupboards handles are grungy and sticky and need deep cleaning as does the refrigerator door The unit needs an air conditioner because it was so hot we were all miserably dripping sweat even with fans blowing

Loved the property so much. Just a few steps from the beach, loved the openness of bedrooms. Everything we needed was right there. Host was responsive, very friendly and welcoming. Easy check in instructions. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

The property is very nice and our unit was fantastic. Corner unit second floor has great views. Our only disappointment ( no fault of the owners ) there was no beach access. We must have come at a very weird timing as the sand was washed away so far out that the only beach access was a 6 foot drop to get to. Impossible. After being there for 7 days the sand rose about 2 feet and we did Brave jumping down once but is was very difficult and we did not attempt that again. However……we did have turtles 🐢 come onto the beach Every day! They must have appreciated having the beach to themselves for the most part! One day we had 3 turtles come rest on the beach. You could stand right above them on the grass wall and safely take pictures without disturbing them. Truly magnificent. I would definitely recommend this place and do hope to return soon ❤️ The owners of several units were there during our stay and all were very nice and welcoming.

We had a wonderful stay. This vacation had been previously postponed because of the Maui fires. We loved seeing the turtles everyday. Snorkeling right outside the backdoor. It was an amazing spot. We would highly recommend it.

We stayed at Hale Mahina with our 3 children. It’s the perfect spot if you don’t want to be right in the middle of all the hubbub of bigger resorts, but close enough to all the great beaches you would want to visit. It’s tucked back off the main road and very secluded. All units face the ocean, so you get an actual ocean front view no matter which one you choose. Although I will say, being on the 4th (top) floor is the best in my opinion, as it offers a better view from the lanai (patio), vaulted ceilings for a more spacious feel and the extra bedroom in the loft upstairs. Sea turtles show up right on the small beach in the mornings and you’re almost guaranteed to see a lot more around midday floating by to eat algae off the cluster of rocks by the next condo community over. We found that the best snorkeling was right in front of our condo. All in all, it was a great time. The pool and jacuzzi is a plus as well. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

The view from this property was probably as good as one could hope for. Access to the pool and the little private beach was perfect! The only downside to the property was that there was no air conditioning, so we felt quite warm the majority of the time in the condo. Other than that, we loved it!!!

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.

This was our 2nd stay at the resort but different unit. Clean and well supplied unit. A bit of road noise from loud cars, without AC it is necessary to have windows open. Love the property, turtles daily. We hope to come back again.

The property is just as beautiful as I remembered it. It is in an ideal location. Can walk to grocery store and several take-out food options. Short walk to Honokawai State Beach Park. The unit has everything you could need for a wonderful vacation. It is beautifully decorated!

This property was a perfect getaway. The views of the ocean are stunning in all weather, the beach is just across the beautiful lawn, maybe 100 ft or so. Whales, turtles and a surprise visit from a monk seal made for some fun! The accommodations were chill, relaxing and laid back, and everything we needed was here. Kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfy, bathroom was nice, great shower! Laundry was in-house which was a bonus. The best part was the lanai where we ate all our at home meals and we spent a good amount of time sitting in the comfy bar height chairs at the table, just taking in the beauty right in front of us, from the calm, quiet mornings to the spectacular sunsets. We did run into some issues with check-in as it took us an hour to actually be able to get the door unlocked. We never received the important VRBO email that would've given us all the info and prevented that snafu. Next time I'll know to ask more questions before arriving. Jim and Lorna were so sweet and helpful as soon as we were able to connect and they got us in!! The only other con was the noise at night in the neighborhood. The neighbors dogs barked quite a lot the first night we were here starting at 2:45am and continuing for a few hours. The second night there was loud construction noise coming from the neighborhood starting at 11pm. This was not terrible, just a bit annoying and did not detract from our overall enjoyment of this fabulous place. We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. If you're looking for a place with amazing views, a quiet beach, sea turtles galore, dolphin and whale sightings from the lanai, gorgeous sunsets, and plenty of room to spread out, this is the place for you! The property is a little "beach worn" but that wouldnt deter us from renting it again. Everything we needed for fun on the beach was provided including ample beach towels, sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. The location is close to restaurants and an outstanding food truck park. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Maui with us!

Stayed at the condo with a family of seven for ten days over spring break. Overall good experience but complaints from other reviews are valid. Pros: Location. Second to none. Watch a beautiful sunset every day, turtles on the beach, watch whales breach offshore…fall asleep to the sound of waves. Pool and beach fantastic. Condo is big and mostly well equipped (see cons). Even had a monk seal on the beach one day! Cons : Not overly clean and starting to show it’s age. Squashed bugs in cutting board cupboard, kitchen chairs that need to be tightened before using or they’ll fall apart, couldn’t get the TV in master bedroom to work, lack of some amenities you think it would have (tinfoil, plastic wrap). Not enough diner seating for parties over four. Frankly I thought it would be a touch nicer for the price we paid (1500 Canadian all in per night), but the location and views make up for a lot . Overall a great experience but maybe not enough for the price we paid to ever return.

My husband and I decided to return to Hale Mahina to celebrate our milestone birthdays, however opted for a higher level this time in order to take full advantage of whale watching from the lanai. The unit was exactly as described and well equipped with all of the necessary amenities. Greg and Vonda were very responsive to our questions prior to our arrival, with no contact necessary during our stay in paradise.

We had the opportunity to stay at this lovely condo during our Spring Break in March 2024, and had a wonderful time. Everything you need is stocked and ready to go. The description is accurate, one bedroom, one bath with a pull-out bed was the perfect layout for my wife, my teenage son and I to have plenty of space. The selling feature for me was the proximity to the beach and the sounds of the ocean waves. It’s a second floor unit with a balcony that is a stone’s throw to the beautiful ocean waves. Instructions to check in and out were perfectly clear which made the process stress free and easy. Also, the on site property manager does an awesome job keeping the grounds, pool, hot tub and parking situation clean and organized. All said, a very quiet rental complex, unit is exactly as advertised, we were there for 7 nights, with a rental car, you will have the island at your fingertips to do and see many of the great things this beautiful island has to offer.

Hale Mahina is a wonderful complex. Low rise with a small pocket beach providing ocean access, BBQs, a good sized pool, a hot tub and nicely landscaped grounds with plenty of sun loungers to enjoy the awesome view. Casual but classy. It is well placed to easily access supermarkets, stores and all kinds of eating options from 5 star to casual restaurants, bars, excellent takeaways and food trucks, something for every mood. It is also well placed for all West Maui attractions and is an easy drive for day trips all over the island. Sandy’s unit is very nice and is very well placed within the complex to enjoy the 180 degree ocean front view from the third floor, one of the best views in the whole of Hawaii with the sun setting directly in front of the lanai. The condo is larger than most in the area, has a full sized washer/dryer and is equipped with everything you might need. Most of the attractions and facilities in West Maui are open and very welcoming of tourists. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to stay here again.

The view is spectacular especially from the master bedroom. However. The home is outdated and needs upgrades and deep clean. The guest bathroom shower was very wonky and we found baby cockroaches in the kitchen on a couple days. We kept the kitchen spotless and put all food, including dry food in the fridge. It can get warm in the loft and back bedroom. The view and location is why I gave this a 4; otherwise, a 3

We spent an 8 day vacation in maui at this location. There were some good things and some bad things about this property. Pro: location is central to both Napili and Kaanapali and the condos are quiet and right on the beach. The place is spacious and did provide beach towels and chairs. The kitchen was well stocked. Cons: shabby....desperately in need of a good cleaning. There was literally thick dust in one of the bedrooms and the general upkeep is low. Advertised for 8 people. There was bedding for 6 people. We called for a blanket for the pull out bed and took two days to get one. We had someone sleeping which beach towels for warmth. Beware that although the other residents of the condo complex are VERY nice, it's an older group and there are NO ball or pool sports allowed on the grass.....so don't think you are going to toss a ball around with your kids. Finally we had a check out at 11:00-noon as stated in our instructions and at 10:30 we had a man who knocked and said he needed us out and stood outside the door and waited until we we hurried and packed and left. We had a great time with our family but would not probably book again due to everything noted above.

Great property with an incredible view in a perfect location. The unit was updated and well maintained. Owners were very helpful and quick to respond. They alerted us when the property was ready allowing us to check in early. Been to Maui many times but the first time at this property. You cannot beat the view and location. So relaxing and a great way to celebrate our 25th.

This is our third time staying at Hale Mahina and it won’t be our last. The property is beautiful! This condo had all the amenities you need. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. We love the short walk to Bad Ass Coffee and shopping plaza. The view is worth a million dollars. Don’t hesitate booking this condo.

Numerous issues, as in Door knob, locking mechanism was very sticky, and very difficult to lock the door one of the laps on off switch did not work so to turn light out would have to unplug it Silverware and eights were sticky and needed to be re-cleaned before use. Cabinets had the odor of mold, the floors were not very clean, and made the bottom of our feet black. Teapot was rusty, and so was one of the knives We just say that the price of the unit would suggest a five star product, however, none of these issues by themselves was a detriment to our trip, we just more of the condition of a three star resort. And might add, we have stayed in many units at the Hale Mahina and this unit seems to be the darkest of them all, kinda like you’re in a cave. Please note, we did not contact the property manager until after the visit, so our five star review of them is only there because this form for us to put an answer in that line. I have had previous contact with the property management company, and they do communicate and respond to issues.
