This condo was perfect for our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids). We loved the beachfront access and the pool. Everything was clean. It was nice to sit on the balcony and enjoy a coffee in the morning. Would definitely recommend to others.

The location of this place and the views of the sunset make it perfect for a relaxing vacation. The place itself is nicely decorated well maintained and everything worked well. The balcony is large enough for six people easily to relax on even though there was only two of us. It's a short walk to the beach with nothing but a beautiful lawn in between the building and the beach. The beach you should know can be very windy at times. I don't think this is a place where you would go and spend all day at the beach every day you're here. There's so much to do on the island anyways within a short drive. Again The View the sunset and the location as well as the condition of this property makes it a perfect stay.

The view is gorgeous, we enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio & beautiful sunsets. The area was nice and quiet, a quick drive from the airport. We enjoyed many activities in the area as well as restaurants The unit is well equiped with all you need for the beach. The washer & dryer were an added bonus, along with a well equipped kitchen. We highly recommend this property.

Nice place with beautiful sunsets each night! Couldn’t beat that! The only negatives were no TV in the second bedroom for our grandson, air conditioner in the primary bedroom was loud and blew right on the bed, and the pool was lacking. Other than that, we totally enjoyed our stay!

My 17 and 19 year-old grandkids absolutely loved our visit to Kihei! The location was fairly central to most of our activities and besides the beach by the condo, there were several others within a 15 minute drive. It was nice to have the pool during the windy afternoons. Each day we enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach at sunset! If you have any questions, be sure to contact their concierge service ....Donna was very helpful.

Everything from check in to check out went very smoothly, we had a wonderful time! Condo was very clean, well supplied, updated and attractive furnishings, quiet and comfortable. The lanai is huge, and we loved the bar height table and chairs to enjoy the view! Linda was so attentive, and we were very well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I needed a getaway and this condo provided the perfect location for our stay. The beach on the property was the mildest for our kids to play in during the morning hours. The location was perfect to drive to either nearby eateries or recover from the road to Hana. The pool was clean and well kept and the water temperature for showers endured our post beach needs. The only (very minor) issue was the blinds-style windows did make noise in the wind and let in more sound at night but that is swallowed up in the amazing view and location of this property.

We had a great time. We really enjoy the patio. So relaxing in the morning and evening. The pool was great when the winds picked up. Not many people in there. Linda was very friendly and helpful when we had a small issue. Took care of it right away. Would definitely stay here again.

This location is beautiful. The view from the lanai is spectacular. The condo was well stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, and beach toys. The condo was spacious for our family of four. Location is a short drive from "downtown" Kihei and all the best beaches. The beach in front of the property was lovely for walks. We even came across a sea turtle on the beach one day! We did not go swimming out front but could see others did. A drying rack for beach towels and swimsuits would be a good addition. We loved it.

For a million dollar view you can't beat this location. I could have sat and watched the ocean for hours. Very quiet area. Everything needed was right in the condo. IF and I do mean IF there was a downside you are about 2 miles away from the resturants and bars, so if you like to partake in a few beverages you will have get a driver as it isn't walking distance. The beach at the condo is nice and quiet. If you prefer a beach to people watch about 2 miles down to the park. I would definitely consider staying here again a return trip to Maui. We were a family of 5 and felt very comfortable here, not cramped at all. Thanks for having us and letting us enjoy the beautiful island.

Pros: Valley Isle Property Management was very good. Property was clean. Well stocked, with beach chairs, etc. View from the lanai is great. Property grounds are well manicured. Cons: Don't be fooled by the photos that make it look like central AC. Those vents don't work! There are two window units only, one of which blew a circuit breaker at 4 AM. The previous central AC used to provide bathroom ventilation. Now there is no bathroom ventilation. Some furniture is dated and falling apart in bedroom. Kitchen counters are laminate, not granite. Shower head was loose. Refrigerator is rusty.

Unit is older. Furniture not comfortable. Bathroom small. Not enough basic supplies upon arrival. Toilet very low and no counter space in bathroom. Also noted no smoke alarms. Air conditioning right by bed making it useless at night. But, the view was beautiful.

I have used the same facility every time I go visit Maui. And every visit I was very satisfied until this last visit. However I will go the other route. As the saying goes....If I have nothing nice to say, I might as well not say anything at all.

We absolutely loved our stay here! This is our 4th time on Maui, and I think it was our favorite property. The lanai, and view from it, is absolutely amazing! The location was super convenient - not far from the airport and some of the best beaches just down the street. Close to everything we wanted! Also really liked the layout of the condo. We had one minor issue that was immediately resolved. The water heater wasn't working, but we contacted the owner (who was very easy to contact!) and we problem solved together and figured out that we just needed to reset the circuit breaker. Definitely would stay here again in the future!

The Koa Lagoon Condominiums have the most beautiful views and the beach is wonderful. My room was very clean and comfortable - felt like home. I love that the pool was heated. This vacation has been such a fun and relaxing experience. I am hoping to come back again. I made a lot of great memories. 🏝️😎🐢

This was the third time we stayed at this property and the second time in this unit. Just as it was 2 years ago, it was a great stay. The unit is well appointed with everything needed for a wonderful vacation. Plenty of closet space. Games for families and beach chairs and toys for use in the sand. The whale watching from the balcony and sunsets - spectacular! My only suggestions: an extra rug in the bathroom and please clean the vent above the counter. We did have one minor maintenance issue, and Linda was quick to respond and appreciated the fact we figured out what was wrong. (She’s so friendly.) If you’re thinking of renting this unit - just do it. You won’t regret it.

Hello this property is beautiful and yes the view is amazing! That said we arrived at 11:00 PM, walked into the unit and first impression was not great. The floor grout was stained and made us feel uncomfortable to go barefoot . The bathroom did not feel very clean, the drain in the tub was broken (mechanical portion was not installed), the tub was stained and old, the walls in some areas are in need of a good scrubbing and paint, especially around the bathroom sink and trim. We did not feel comfortable to use the drawers or shelves in the bathroom. The kitchen is dated, but ok and stocked with everything you need, the living room was nice. The bedroom again is dated and did not feel the cleanest. The pillows felt old and the foam topper made the bed feel very hot to sleep in. There is a ceiling fan, but needs replacement. We did not use the dressers as there were were greasy finger prints all over them. There was lots of pluses here in the fact that they offer extra things to use for your adventures to the beach, however for the price you pay, they could be replaced when ripped and rusty. I bring this up because of the fees that are added had me expecting a totally clean unit. The next day when we looked out and saw the beautifully landscaped property and pool, it made things a little better. The deck and the view are definitely amazing, and we sat outside there at every opportunity, watching the whales breach. The beach has a few rocks, but you can’t control Mother Nature.

It’s difficult to decide what we loved most about this condo. Perfect size for two, for sure. Well stocked from the kitchen to beach accessories, yes. Clean and very well appointed, definitely. Pethaps

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has a large lanai, with the most beautiful view, where we watched the sunsets and whales. The condo is old but everything was functional and was perfect for two people. The complex is very quiet with beautiful grounds and seems aimed at adults vs families. The beach is rocky and the water is swimmable, although we preferred to swim/snorkel elsewhere. There are a lot of restaurants and stores close by which is convenient.

very nice, clean, very comfortable one bedroom condo, conveniently located to many major attractions, not only in Kihei, but Maui itself. Condo was well appointed with some basics (oil, seasonings, tin foil etc). Grocery/liquor store as well as many restaurants within a couple miles. Awesome sunsets viewable from lanai with short stroll to beach as well as pool on property. AC units in living area as well as bedroom.

Overall a great stay. Roomy and great views of the ocean. There were some issues with the lock but they responded right away and got it taken care of. The only complaint is the primary bed is terrible! My husband and I couldn’t even sleep on it because it makes you roll into the middle, you can even see how tilted it is just when you look at it.
Rebecca C.

We loved staying here at the Koa Lagoon. The Lanai is huge and the view is stunning. There was a few blinds missing on the big windows and in late afternoon it gets really hot and the sun is blinding. We loved having beach chairs to use and having a washer and dryer was awesome.

March 2024

We had a wonderful stay at this unit. We especially enjoyed waking up to the amazing ocean view and watching the beautiful Maui sunset from the Lanai. Condo unit had everything that we needed. There was a nice binder inside with recommendations for activities and restaurants. We found the beach right behind the building to be a bit rocky and quite windy. We opted to drive to Wailea beach (15 min drive away) on many of the days as it was much less windy and the sand was perfect for making sand castles. This building was close to a number of good restaurants in Kihei. We really enjoyed the breakfast bowls at Wow Wow Lemonade and loved the sushi from Miso Phat Sushi. We would recommend this unit to others wanting to stay in the Kihei area.

Can't say enough how much we loved this property. It was just perfect for all our Maui adventures. Just a short drive to all you need in Kihei. All the rest of the island is super accessible, too. And the views! We had breakfast watching the sun come up over the mountains and dinner watching it set against the ocean. It was magical.

Our stay in Maui was overall a good stay. We had issues checking in due to not receiving the check in email. Also there is in inconsistencies in the checkout time. Some places say 10 AM while other places say 11AM. The beach gear was nice to use however the beach umbrella was cheap and small. If your a light sleeper and don't like noise when you sleep then I would suggest you brief earplugs. The AC unit in the room a=is quite noisy when it starts up and runs. Otherwise it was a good unit!

Great location and the views from the deck were fantastic. The condo could use some upkeep, for example several windows didn’t open, one sliding door would not open at all.

Gorgeous & comfortable condo! LOVED the sunsets and WHALE WATCHING from the balcony! The condo was clean and the rental company Maui Life provided an adorable welcome basket. Comfy bed! Super nice to have chairs, towels, and a cooler provided too! My only complaint was that I emailed the company 3 times with minor questions about parking, the WiFi not working, and if we could get a late check-out over the course of our stay and never heard back.
