Room was lovely. Found the floors to be quite dirty as our feet turned colors walking barefoot. Of all the short term rentals that we've stayed in, this was the least well supplied. Everyone always leaves stuff behind but the cleaning crew must take it. No salt. No pepper. No condiments or spices. Had to buy more dishwasher soap and garbage bags which we left for the next guest.

We rented this space from November 3-9. The location is beautiful, close to several grocery stores, souvenir shops and places to dine.  Our family of 4 had plenty of space and everyone got their own bathroom, which we love! Plenty of room to hang clothes up, washer and dryer work and it’s great to be able to wash and dry our clothes.  The kitchen is equipped with utensils, pots, pans, glasses, wine glasses, plates, bowls and mugs. The coffee pot works slow but gets the job done. We were able to get whole bean coffee due to a coffee grinder in the kitchen (wonderful!). Parking passes were great. Lots of keys to the place which is good because you’ll need a key to get in and out of the pool area which stays fairly calm with the manager staying in one of the units.  Our unit was a corner unit, while there is no air conditioning, there are a lot of windows that you can open. It takes about a night to get acclimated when coming from Salt Lake City.  The listing says there is a blow dryer, however it’s very old and doesn’t really “work” so make sure to pack a hair dryer if you use one.  Upon arriving, we were tired and happy to have big beds in each room. The mattresses are a bit worn, as the king bed has divots where people lay. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the place to be honest. Walls are dirty, brown spots in bathrooms and on walls. We realize it’s by the ocean and took much of the wear and tear as that. But the dead bugs and dirt in corners of rooms and stairs.

Wonderful 3 bedroom 3bath. Ocean side as promised. Tradewinds made water at beach a challenge but would definitely book again. No AC was bummer but plenty of fans and natural air flow allowed for plenty of circulation.

This unit is amazing! Hale Mahina is the only place we have ever and would ever stay. We've stayed in several units at Hale Mahina and this is definitely one of the best units ever. The unit is newly remodeled, has everything you need, the kitchen is amazing and of the view of course is spectacular! If you are looking for a quiet getaway in a great location, this is your place!

Owner dropped the ball! We were left stranded, no return message or phone call. Vrbo tried contacting owner with no reply. Sitting in the condo parking lot on the phone with Vrbo trying to find another reservation on the fly after traveling all day. Vrbo took great care of us. I was in tears and have never experienced anything like it when booking. 2 weeks later I received, "an I sorry excuse " of I was sick, my internet was off & my phone was not working. I don't care about your excuses. We paid you and you utterly failed us as a host. It was a fabulous way to start my cancervisary celebration!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The place was exactly as listed. It was clean & had all the supplies we needed. We enjoyed watching the ocean from our balcony every night and morning. We enjoyed using the pool, hot tub, and charcoal grills. We played on the beach that is right there. Two of the days we had sea turtles up on the beach. Other days we saw them swimming. We loved the location. The stand fans were so nice to have so we didn't get too hot at night. We appreciated that there was dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, garbage bags, shampoo, soap, & conditioner. There were plenty of bath towels, and loved that there were beach towels too. The location was outstanding (so close to our favorite snorkeling beaches!!) We would definitely stay here again!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pluses:~ Beautiful views from the Lanai. ~ Easy access to the small, private beach (no long walks on the beach here). ~ Seeing Honu turtles in the surf just off our beach daily and evidence of their beach visits in the morning, plus actually seeing them on the beach one night!Room for improvement:~ While there is a portable AC unit in the bedroom, it only cooled the room to 82, though it was set at 67. I found closing the bedroom doors helped cool the room to 77.~ All lights were left on in the unit prior to my arrival which added to the heat. ~ A small lamp for the counter area to the right of the desk would be nice for low light. (I moved one of the bedroom lamps there temporarily during my stay.)~ A tall lamp beside the sofa would also be appreciated.~ The bedroom would be very tight for 2 people given the fan and portable AC nearly block access to one side of the bed.~ The bathroom end of the bedroom and the bathroom itself can be seen at night, when the lights are on, from the staircase landing outside the unit.~ Bed is VERY FIRM (and I like a firmer bed).

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 condo had everything we needed for a relaxing stay! Well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of extras like snorkel gear and boogie boards. The sunset views were incredible and the daily turtle visits were a treat! The only con was the upper bedroom/loft was warm (no a/c) however the property owners provide fans in each room and all have ceiling fans as well. Don’t hesitate to book this gem!!

The condo was recommended by a friend and we had been longing to go. It was everything she said it was. Very nice and clean, well stocked with everything we needed, everything worked as it should... and the best part was evening sunsets. We really had a hard time leaving the property to go explore the island but when we did everything felt like it was right there. we will come back and we've already recommended this spot to friends.

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

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.

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

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 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!!!
