This was a great place to stay. The condo’s location was perfect and the view out the patio doors was amazing. We had a wonderful stay in Maui—a perfect spot for our 50th wedding anniversary!

We had never been to Hawaii so decided it was the place to go to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This spacious condo was perfect. It was in a great location to get to different parts of the island. It had an awesome view of the water. We enjoyed sitting on the first floor Lanai and watching the waves, the surfers, and the sea turtles. It had everything we needed including beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and towels. It was a short walk to a nice beach that even had some shade trees.The bed was very comfortable. The unit was very clean and well stocked with items we could use. It was nice to be able to turn on the air conditioner when we needed it. Cindy and Todd were very easy to communicate with. Mahalo.

Loved everything about the property as nothing can beat the location and amenities of this property.
I would only recommend it to guests who don’t mind the responsibility of caring for the property! It’s not a hotel kind of property where there is little /no maintenance . This property has a lot of soul to it that it requires the right kind of care during your stay and justifies the exhaustive list of criteria listed by the owner as part of the rental agreement .
If you are wondering if this property is right for you definitely recommend getting the entire rental agreement from the owner ahead of time and reading it to ensure it’s a right fit for you.

We had a fabulous stay here. The ocean is right off the lanai. We ate every breakfast here and several dinners. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals. The location is great. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from the crowded resorts. The central location makes it easy to get to all areas of the island. The unit had a/c but the trade winds blow reliably and kept the unit pleasant with the windows open to hear the ocean. We had an issue with a ceiling fan that was fixed promptly. The beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t imagine a better place to stay here.

We stayed for 5 nights in Jul ‘24 and we enjoyed our stay. The condo is clean and tastefully decorated, has fantastic views , community is quiet and best of all the location is central to save travel time. The snorkeling tours start nearby and we just walked there instead of struggling to find parking. The kitchen is loaded with appliances which was very convenient for us since we did cook quite a bit, the coolers were convenient to carry cold food and drinks for the day. Only one suggestion I have is to place a shoe rack near entry to avoid bringing dirt inside And probably something to clean the floor if dirt does come in. I would recommend this condo.to anyone planning to visit the area.

We arrived late and had no issue with finding the place or being able to get into the property and settle in for our stay. We had no issues with sleeping. Although we did note that the condo is adjacent to a hallway which does produce wind tunnel like sounds, so a very light sleeper might struggle. We were all fine.
The only disappointment was that the retaining wall separating the condo property from the ocean had failed. There is no longer a beach access on the property, so those photos do need to be updated. We were able to walk out to the street and access the local park beach within walking distance. The beach is steep, so small children need to be monitored and stay close to shore but it is a nice little space to play and relax with the other families that seemed to congregate there during our stay.
We did have a small issue with the oven. We were able to contact the owner and have it resolved easily as she was very responsive. The AC is a single unit that is not sufficient to cool the entire condo, so the living area can get very cool in order to cool down the bedrooms. There were plenty of fans. The local geckos seemed to take care of most of the bugs, so the place wasn't as buggy as some places can get.
Overall, we would recommend this place to others. We also recommend the owner as she did a wonderful job of quickly responding to the one concern we shared.

We gave this stay as a gift to our son and family. Their report was that the location was perfect, the beach was just steps away (and they did get to see and experience the turtles right from the beach. They said it was a beautiful place, comfortable and spacious. They enjoyed it immensely which made my husband and I very happy! Additionally, I was the one communicating with the hosts along the way as arrangements were being made. They were just incredible!

Waves crashing; can see them from a large lanai. Well appointed, except maybe for spices… we left some salt and pepper.
Never had to use the air conditioner…just let the ocean breezes come through.
Very comfy for 2 parents and 3 grown up children!
View is awesome!

I have stayed in many places on Maui and neighboring Islands, and so far this condo is my top pick. It is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. Best of all it has a breath taking view of the ocean close enough to hear the waves. This condo is also centrally located.

Perfect is the right word- the location, the accommodations, the owner.
The condo is located close to everything, but in a calm, relaxing location just a 2-minute walk to the beach. The condo is very comfortable, and well stocked, with everything to cook meals and the grill to cookout by the pool, and the balcony to watch the waves roll in and the sun come up with a nice cup of coffee. Having the twin beds is great, so that both my kids had their own sleeping location.
Terri (the owner) is very welcoming and so helpful. Her welcome packet had great island info, and she has truly prepped the condo with everything you need for a great vacation. Highly recommend, and hope that she will allow us the opportunity to stay again in the future.
Mahalo!

Our first trip to Maui was beyond anything we could have imagined, and this condo only improved the experience. It is beautifully decorated and well stocked. The location is quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the larger oceanside towns on Maui. I can't recommend this condo enough and hope to stay here again on our next visit.

The unit was so well organized, clean and well maintained. As mentioned the condo is exactly 15 steps away from the ocean and the view is fantastic. We were lucky to spot turtles in the morning. Our host supplied all the necessary items needed for a wonderful stay. The kitchen and bathroom closets were well equipped. Our host was very responsive and was just a phone call away. Thanks a lot for making our stay so memorable.

It was a great stay at this property. The ocean views were amazing, the kitchen was very well stocked, there were plenty of towels, beach chairs and umbrellas were helpful. The beach is just a few mins walk from the property. Overall a great place that worked out perfectly for our family vacation.

View of the ocean with sound you can hear at night if you leave the windows open. There were plenty of items available to make our stay nice including blankets, fans, snorkel gear and kitchen items. The area is very well kept and my girls enjoyed the pool, a walk by the beach and I made use of the community grill.

I hesitate writing this review because I want to keep this amazing place our secret! We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. Walking in I was very impressed with how immaculate it was. It is exactly as described in the photos and description. The best part was the view and lanai. We loved the constant breeze through the condo and especially loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore each night. We spent a lot of time on the lanai watching the sun rise over Haleakala, surfers catch waves and sea turtles swimming below. Having beach towels, chairs and a cooler were a wonderful addition. Location wise we loved Maalaea. It is quiet and a great central location to almost everything on the island. This is an absolute gem of a condo and we are already planning a return trip! Thank you for sharing your Maui home with us!

Second time staying here and would love to come again! Very comfy unit with everything you need. Only needed AC in living room once while there. Other times the nice trade winds kept us cool. Keeping the windows open and listening to the waves crashing was relaxing. Sitting on the lanai watching the blue ocean waters and turtles bobbing was awesome. Having the beach just steps away was amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough. Cindy and Todd thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible! Mahalo!

The property manager Pam was easy to communicate with and responded very promptly. It was amazing listening to the ocean waves waking up and going to bed. It was a natural sound machine. The condo was clean and as expected from the listing. The 2 bedroom and 2 bath was a must have traveling with teenagers. The master bedroom was spacious with a king bed. The mattress was just right, not too soft and not too hard. (I’m very picky about mattresses as I have a bad back. I didn’t have any issues). The water pressure in the shower was amazing for all the long hair ladies. The kitchen had all the essentials. We were hoping for a crock pot, but there was not one. Our only 2 issues was that there was not a pantry, so we had to keep out dry food on the counter. We didn’t have much since we were always out and about, but would have if we really stocked up and cooked multiple meals daily. The other issues was the A/C didn’t work. We are from south GA, so it was alittle uncomfortable sleeping at night. We had the windows open and had fans, but still was close to 78-79 degrees at night. Pam as very responsive and helped to rectify the situation quickly. Overall, great location and view. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Maui. The unit is on the 4th floor at the corner/end of the building. There are elevators and even a luggage cart! So handy!! We had amazing views of the pool and the ocean. There was an air conditioner in the living room, which was great, but despite having ceiling fans, the bedrooms were hot. There was an oscillating fan in the 2nd bedroom and we bought a box fan for the master. It solved the problem! There were chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, and even snorkeling gear available to use! The chairs and umbrella came in so handy! The condo is right near the marina where many excursions leave from. It was nice to be close. We were able to explore all over Maui and we enjoyed being close to everything. The washer and dryer were quite useful, although a laundry basket might have helped sine the “laundry room” is in the kitchen. The refrigerator was big and kept everything cold. The only downside is that there’s no available pantry, so we lost a lot of counter space with our groceries. One of the best features was that there were PLENTY of USB ports for us to plug in our phones and the kids’ games. Overall, the stay was great and I highly recommend this place!!

We loved our time in Maui and this rental was perfect! First floor, park right outside the front door and walk right out the back door to the pool, ocean and incredible views. Centrally located on the island so it was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The condo has everything you could need, so travel light and worry free! Stephanie was great to work with, and the condo was better than advertised! We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our week-long stay on Maui in this condo in Kana’i A Nalu. The hosts’ communication was excellent and check-in went super smoothly, with on-site parking and a unique door code for our stay providing good security. The suite has lots of space, was very clean, had a lanai that looked out on the ocean, and an adequate kitchen. The ensuite bathroom with shower was a great unique feature. The hosts provided beach chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards with fins—everything we needed for the beach. Ma’alea is a great place to be on the island in that it is close to everything, but quieter because it’s not in the thick of Kihei tourist town. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Wow! All I can say is wow. We have had the most wonderful stay at this condo. The location is tranquil and very central.
The condo is clean, well appointed and comfortable. We love the breeze that blows through the init all day and the wonderful sound of crashing waves from the lanai.
This was a wonderful place to stay and I hope we will be back in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us.

My wife and two of our older granddaughters had a great time at this property and Maui.
Although there is no beach accessible immediately in front of the condo, the view is fabulous and....you only have to go less than 100 yards to miles of open beach. Many great walks and water activities were enjoyed along this building free beach.
The condo was well furnished and pantry stocked with every essential. Instructions/information were excellent. Great communication with the property host (Cindy).
Would definitely stay there again!!

Overall very nice property. Great location and well appointed property and very comfortable. One improvement that could be made is to update the AC system. If we did not have good trade winds the rooms would have been very hot. Overall very nice property and would recommend it.

Property was clean, centrally located, and quiet. The people were friendly.
The property doesn’t have a beach or water access. You can walk down a couple of properties to access a beach, but it had people living on it and was awkward to hangout at. We were hoping to spend evenings at the property, but on a beach. The pool was open and a good option. The view from our room overlooked the pool and the ocean. It was nice.
Overall, I would recommend if you prefer to be centrally located more than you want the convenience of beach access.

Location was outstanding with direct access to miles of pristine beach - great for morning walks! The lanai felt private and provided the most beautiful and serene view of the ocean. It’s truly located right above the beach and was so peaceful to hear the waves. There’s good snorkeling in the rocks right in front. The condo is very clean and tidy, with modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen is well stocked and the community grill was perfect for easy dinners. There are plenty of beach towels and chairs/umbrella. Above all, Kate provided exceptional service with excellent communication and follow through to ensure her guests have a wonderful experience in her inviting home. I was so happy I chose to stay here. I highly recommend!

Great location, very comfortable well-furnished condo, nice small uncrowded beach a minute's walk away, well-kept grounds with nice pool and great lighted grills for easy meals on the lanai...walking distance to Maalaea harbor where Molokini snorkel trips, fishing charters and Lanai Ferry originate and close enough to Maui Swap Meet (Saturday 7-1) and Costco for good shopping values, food trucks and fresh produce to call it convenient. Walk to Tante's and Seascape for good Happy Hours. Host and Property Manager provided all needed upfront to make stay enjoyable.

This Property is in a great location and amazing views right on the ocean. we watched sea turtles from the balcony that over looks the ocean. Kitchen is updated and the breeze through the condo every evening from Maui trade winds was perfect. The listing pictures didn't do this condo justice. Some beach items for use made trips to the beach easy. This is an end unit so both bedrooms have nice big side windows.

We stayed for 10 nights in May/June 2024. Overall, this condo is a very good value for rhe money. The unit could use some cosmetic updates, but it is accurately reflected in the listing. The master bedroom mattress and shower were great! The kitchen is fully stocked..we did almost all our cooking here, the only thing we couldnt find was measuring cups/spoons, but most people probably don't cook as much as we do on vacation! The patio sliding door and screen are in need of maintenance/repair..they were difficult to use.
One downside is that the HOA president was not friendly, especially towards children/teens. There were excessive rules about the pool and grounds which pretty much ruled out anything kids could do outside. This is fine, if thats the property's rules, but it should be disclosed before booking.
The beach access is down the block, not directly in front of the building. Its an easy walk (no busy roads)
We enjoyed the easy access being on the first floor and felt very safe.

The place was clean and nicely decorated. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The view was great too. The only thing that I didn’t like was that the A/C was on a 6 hour timer so you have to keep turning it back on. Plus the room did not cool down very well. We had 7 fans running to help the window unit to cool the condo down. It did get to a comfortable temperature eventually but this was an every evening event after coming back to the condo.

Day 1 through day 12 was nothing less than perfect! Listening to the waves crash right outside our window was wonderful. The condo was the perfect size for 4 adults. We walked to Haycraft Beach almost everyday with ease. This was actually one of our favorite beaches we visited. We were centrally located and never felt we were to far from anything we wanted to do! We will definitely The corner unit was a plus. Unfortunately, 2 days before we left, they cut down 3 palm trees in front of the condo but it’s still a beautiful view!

The property is so close to the water that we could hear and see every wave crash which made for awesome coffee in the morning. By opening the window at night, the sound made a relaxing night’s sleep. The property is located centrally to everything in Maui. We were 30 minutes or less from almost everything we wanted to do. We’d definitely stay here again!

Property was nice, great location. Loved being on the lower level so no lugging stuff up and down steps. Very close to a beach. The only complaint is the kitchen silverware drawer could have been a little cleaner also base of master shower. But neither were horrible…just needed some attention. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

The condo was very nice. It overlooked the ocean/bay and had only a short walk- 1-2 blocks - to a beach. Parking was easy and next to the unit. We used the steps except when first unloading - used the elevator which is across the building. Owner was friendly and provided some helpful tips on where to go (thank you!).
The condo had a very comfortable king bed, and little things like spices and some storage baggies which helped a lot, plus all the dishes and pans you could need. The only "complaint" was the humidity in the unit. We had to run a fan in the bathroom to make it even slightly bearable. The air conditioner was only slightly effective when running and was on a timer so shut off after an hour. Opening the doors helped very little. Luckily there are several ceiling fans which ran on full the entire time. Opening the bedroom windows helped at night. The surf was very loud but that helped me sleep. There is a nice balcony overlooking the bay where we sat to have our morning tea. We saw rainbows across the bay. Very beautiful. I think the May was just a very humid time to be there. Really enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely loved staying here during our family trip to Maui for 8 nights, and would definitely stay here again. The ground level lanai was perfect with kids who wanted to be outside constantly and get in the pool and beach. Location is great in central/south Maui and a fairly short drive to everything. It was perfect. Only complaint was the back sliding door is difficult to open and close even for adults.
