We had a great stay at the property. The location is fantastic and views were incredible. Watching the sunset every evening from the comfort of the patio was the highlight of our trip. Our only qualm was that the listing stated there was AC, but there was only a portable unit in the living room that couldn't be felt if you weren't within 10 feet of the machine. All of the fans were nice to have but the bedroom was warm as we stayed during the month of July. I would recommend either putting an AC unit in the bedroom or changing the description. Thanks for a great stay, host was incredibly responsive. We would come back!!

We enjoyed our stay! It had everything we needed and more. It was so cute inside and had a great lanai outside. We even saw turtles while eating our lunch one day. Great location too. Close to lots of things. It made our trip to Maui great!

Hula hideaway is the perfect spot for a honeymoon or baby moon in Maui! I’m not a morning person but I was so excited in the mornings to open the curtains and look out to the ocean from the bed. We had breakfast every morning watching the turtles right in front and caught the rainbow a few times too! Would love to come back and spot whales during the season! The property has everything you would need, kitchen supplies (though I wish there were some herbal tea bags too as I kept forgetting to buy them myself), enough towels and beach towels, bed is comfy, snorkeling gear, A/C is nice etc. I loved our time at Maui and a big reason for that is staying here. I’m so happy we found this place and booked it! You won’t regret it :) Property management was also very friendly, responsive and professional. They helped with late check out, gave us some local recommendations and made the whole booking process smooth.

We had a beautiful stay at Kahana Reef! We loved the unit and the ability to walk right out onto the grass in the morning! You were so amazing in letting us use the Pack n Play for our baby! The neighbors of our unit were so welcoming. Saw lots of turtles right out in front! Definitely will be back! Thank you

This was the perfect location for our anniversary trip. My husband's first trip to the islands! The condo was clean, spacious, and had the most stunning view! It was in a fantastic location close to coffee, restaurants, and the bigger resorts to access their luaus, restaurants, etc. Loved the absolute peace of this condo though! Enjoyed the outside spaces at all times of day. Parking was always available! We would love to come back!

The Condo was perfect for our week stay on Maui. Starting and finishing each day on the Lanai, listening to the waves and usually seeing sea turtles made for a fantastic stay. We enjoyed the cool breeze from the Ocean which is only a few feet from the second floor Lanai, but also enjoyed the AC and comfortable bed. The condo had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Maui in the future.

Great stay for my family’s first visit to Maui. With a little one, we spent a lot of time in the unit which was very relaxing. Breathtaking views being on the ground floor; it was amazing to take a quick dip in the ocean just a few steps away. We saw sea turtles from the living room and sharks on the shore when the neighbors tossed the ice from their daily catch. Complex is well maintained with quite a bit long term residents. China Boat across the street was convenient and delicious. Gas, general store & restaurants are all close by.
It was a long drive just about everywhere, especially if you want to drive the road to Hana, which we wound up near on 3 different occasions.
I have a thing about lighting – all the bulbs are daylight/cool tone (except for kitchen). It was like living in an office with the bright white light. Not what I want to experience on a vacation. I suggested they change them to a warm tone.
Pros: view, plushness of bed, nice sheets
Cons: sliding door is heavy and hard to open, only 1 pot, no tongs or pasta scooper, no dish strainer, bright light bulbs, sparse kitchen

The hotel is located in a beautiful location. But the neighboring fishermen washed their fish in the evenings and this attracted sharks, so swimming in the ocean is dangerous.

Absolutely stunning views. The pictures in the profile don’t do it justice. This condo is beautiful. Bigger than expected. Well stocked. Beach is steps away, OHHH and the sea turtles! Everyday anywhere from 5/10 turtles swimming just right there in front of you. Loved this location. Far enough from it all and yet close enough to everything. So peaceful. Would love to stay here again.

We stayed at Kahana Reef 47 years ago on our honeymoon. We had a budget of $1000. We needed airfare, lodging, a car, and food. A travel agent directed us to $20/night condos for our two weeks, Kahana Reef. Individually owned and rented through office by laundry room. Still have brochure in our album. Direct beach access, no sea wall or pool then China boat predicessor across the street as well as sugar cane fields up the hillside. They were burning the cane while we were here. Amazing sight. Created a few issues with small critters escaping the burning but KR was prepared. Great visit then and 3 more visits since. First time we have been on ground floor. Love this unit. Clean and neat. We bbq’d with our son n family who were staying down the road. Great family sunset pics. Oh has Kahana changed since our first visit. Here you don’t feel crowded. DnJ

We've stayed at Kahana Reef before in another unit and the oceanfront is just beautiful. You'll see turtles out front every day along the wall (usually around dinner). The condo itself was in good shape and had everything we needed for our stay. Bed was comfortable for us and we kept the windows and doors open in the mornings and evenings to cool down the unit. The fans helped as well. Would definitely stay here again.

My wife and i loved our visit at this very lovely place. The view of the ocean and the sea turtles from the balcony were incredible. The daybed so confortable easliy to relax and fall asleep on. So well stocked we had everything from beach umbrella, chairs, and snorkeling equpment to really enjoy the beach. great location to get to several great beaches. Take the trip to Hana and the north side of west Maiu, both beautiful. Would not hesitate to go back to this home away from home!

We really liked the condo, the view of the ocean is wonderful!
But our vacation was not complete because it was impossible to swim in the ocean because of the reef sharks that came every evening. Because the fishermen next to the hotel washed their fish every day,

Annie's was perfect for our first visit to Maui! Quiet, peaceful, relaxing with amazing views! Easy access to the whole island with all it's available activities! This place is equipped with everything you need for an Hawaiian experience without a crowded resort feel! Highly recommend!!

We loved how consideration of noise for others was a priority for this building. Watching turtles from the lanai was incredible and lanai was a very comfortable size. Appreciated having the sunbed on the lanai as well. Nicely decorated. Property management was fantastic with great communication.

Have been remiss in sharing our awesome stay last February. The studio was fully stocked with many little thoughtful touches. The Hideaway team even purchased a tea pitcher before we arrived when I had asked if they had one.
But by far, the best was the amazing lanai with the expansive ocean views. We spent many hours there and saw some incredible whale activity without going anywhere. And of course, lots of turtles. It was very hard to break away!

We loved our stay there! Every time we’d walk up to the edge of the water right in front of our back door we’d see 3-8 turtles at a time hanging right by the edge. We were able to take nice, long walks along the beach right next to the community, it felt very private! The place inside was great as well! We felt comfortable, enjoyed every minute!

The unit & location was fantastic for exploring the west/north end of Maui. Very clean unit and great access to many beaches & coves for exploring. Only thing is the building is older, so sound travels from the floor above and neighboring units. Otherwise it was a great stay!

The Kahana Reef property is well taken care of boasting beautiful plants and flowers. It is equipped with laundry facilities that can be paid for with quarters or through an app. There is an ocean wall where turtles gather to eat the grasses growing. It was a great experience watching them.
The condo itself was adequate. It is old and shows signs of wear and tear. The view of the ocean is obscured by two palm trees leaving about 50% of the view available.
The location is great, and the owners are kind and available.

My husband and I truly enjoyed out stay! It was so great to wake up every morning and enjoy breakfast on the patio and listen to the ocean. We saw many sea turtles right out our door. It was great to have a kitchen. We loved that there were beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels for us to use. We also really appreciated the two fans in the bedroom and the air conditioner in the main living space. Thank you for a great stay!

This was my 2nd stay at this property and, like the first time around, we had a great time. The first floor unit has amazing views and you're just steps away from the waters edge and a small/quaint beach area. The condo is spacious and clean and having access to beach towels/chairs/umbrella is a definite plus!

We loved the view from the lanai and spent a lot of time at hanging out there watching turtles and even some whales in the distance! The condo itself was clean and comfortable. Full kitchen if you want to cook for yourself. the bathroom is a little small but no issues with function. The beach supplies were a great addition, but the snorkel gear was missing masks and some other pieces were not fully intact so you may need to rent your own. We had a great stay overall!

This beautiful hideaway was just as advertised. The room was gorgeous and had everything we needed. I especially loved how close we were to the ocean. We saw a whale from our balcony when we first arrived. The best part was that we saw sea turtles every afternoon from our balcony and in front of our unit. Thank you for an amazing stay!

We really enjoyed our stay , ocean view , pool , outdoor BBQ .. everything that the listing said.
You could see turtles in the water from the sea wall.. and could see whales splashing and there blow spouts once and awhile even tho it is the end of whale season .
The only downside was just no AC which we knew from other reviews and from the listing so can't get mad, just would of been nice. The sea breeze is nice if you have a cross breeze.
Thanks again for everything.

I cannot express how amazing our experience was at the Hula Hideaway property. My Fiance and I rented this VRBO for our elopement/honeymoon and everything was beyond perfect. The property itself was updated, clean, and had everything we needed for our week long stay! We bought things like toilet paper and paper towels before we checked in, but didn't end up needing them. The property owner made us feel so welcome and helped us when we couldn't find the parking space upon arrival. They were so attentive and kind. We saw multiple whales and sea turtles from the Lanai (which will be one of my favorite memories from the trip). If you're considering staying here, I can't recommend this property enough. Make sure you check out their very detailed and helpful welcome packet for restaurant recommendations and useful tips! Thank you for making our Hawaiin Elopement absolutely incredible. We can't wait to come back for as many anniversaries as we can!

Everything about our stay was perfect. The location cannot be beat and the property itself is wonderful. We saw sea turtles every afternoon and enjoyed the near private beach adjacent to the building. The condo is clean, well maintained and stocked, the check in/out procedure easy, and the owners are a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back very soon!

This was exactly as shown. The lanai was great with the ocean view & sound of the waves. We discovered that near sunset the sea turtles come up to the seagrass covered rocks below the sea wall to feed. We also saw crabs & the last evening a group of dolphins was playing in the waves. The location is very nice with China Boat right across the street, Dollie’s & The Beach House in walking distance & the Sea House & it’s amazing happy hour just a short car ride away. Would love to stay again.

We have stayed at Kahana Reef three times and love the location. This unit is a ground floor which we like. I felt the management company was very prompt when things came up. They also left laundry detergent and dryer sheets, which was a nice plus there was also snorkel equipment available. I felt that the posting saying it was recently remodeled, was not quite accurate as it seems like it’s been some time since that actually happened, these units get a lot of use and it definitely felt a little tired. It was not 100% clean when we arrived there was hair in the shower drain and on the wall and I think the bathroom drawers should be wiped out. I also think they should replace the hairdryer and the lanai furniture both were pretty old. We really like Kahana reef because it’s very laid-back and we’ve met a lot of nice people who are around our age which is retiree age. The grounds are nice too.

Nice cozy condo with spectacular views of the ocean from the patio.
Sea turtles and whale sightings daily!!
Small issue Would give it 4 3/4 out of 5 stars rating because cable service was spotty and TV in bedroom didn’t work.
But well worth the money!!
