Amazing location and beautiful views of the ocean right from the place. Would definitely stay here again!

Had a great time visiting Maui

September 2024

We had a very enjoyable stay. The only drawback for us was the lack of air conditioning on our first night (beginning of September) as it was hot and humid with the fans not providing enough cooling that we are used to. This experience may vary for different people with different temperature preferences. The condo had everything we needed with exception of soap and shampoo for showering which was easy to get with a 10 minute drive south to Safeway, or even closer at the Times Supermarket Honokowai. Condo felt spacious enough for two adults and a toddler. Beautiful ocean view and adequate privacy night and day. Neighbors and neighborhood were not noisy. We did not run into any problems inside or outside the apartment. Wish I could have stayed longer. We would come back in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

The building itself dose not looks as in the pictures, the building is old and dull, lacks of charisma, But I have to say is clean, the pool was nice and the outdoors is very relaxing, the room again, it looks as in the pictures but … it just feels sad, it needs color, I don’t know, But it was clean and it has EVERYTHING you need for a good stay, from beach towels, chairs, swimming gear

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property is just as pictured, clean and in great shape. Pool was sparkling, grassy area for sunning and watching the turtles swim by. Steps down to the beach, water is warm and lots of fun. Outstanding service by the hosts. Immediate and helpful responses. Ate at a hidden gem, Castaway Cafe-both breakfast and dinner were great,couple of times at Leilani’s, a Mexican cantina in the Times Market parking lot. Of course, snorkeling and the boat rides are great fun!

Our family of five stayed here for a week during August. The first thought upon entering the apartment was, “this place is huge”. We had a ton of room. The location was perfect with a family friendly atmosphere but close enough to all the area has to offer. We spent each morning watching the sea turtles eat right off the retainer wall and even watched dolphins our last day on site. The kitchen is well appointed and there’s snorkel gear, coolers, and beach toys to enjoy. We highly recommend. Randy was very responsive and wonderful.

We loved the condo - clean and spacious, easily accommodated three families totaling 7 people. Great location and very quiet. The only thing we didn't love was the beach access (or lack thereof). Listing indicated an easy access but it wasn't, had to jump off a wall and then attempt a slippery climb back up. But overall it was a great stay.

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.

July 2024

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!!!

Wonderful location, great beach access, sea turtles visited every day, nicely equipped unit, would stay again.

May 2024

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.

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.

Michael's property is lovely. Rainbows and whales constantly. And if it ever got chilly or window, sit on the couch or at the dining room table and you'll have same view.

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
