The owner was very helpful and responded in a timely manner. The unit has everything one would need especially a washer and dryer. I would have given 5 stars all around but one room owner stated there was an issue with the air conditioning unit. I utilized both ceiling fans which helped some. Also only one lamp worked in the room and no light on ceiling fan. Overall fantastic place and phenomenal location. I loved waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunrise and set daily.

This was our sixth time in Maui and as usual it was relaxing and enjoyable. We came for the basketball tournament, UNC plays every 4th year, and totally get caught up in the small gym experience, you are right there with the players, coaches and refs. Every day in Maui is different. We have done most of the outdoor adventures and as my wife and I turned 80 we went to the aquarium, hiked in the national park, went for lunch at the Kapulua Plantation House, found Coconuts’ fish tacos (a number of times). The small pool and veranda at our VRBO unit at Lauloa in Maalaea was just terrific and we totally enjoyed our books and relaxation there. We thank all involved, particularly the property owners, with our VRBO vacation.

This is our second stay at this beautiful condo and cannot say enough positive things. Our for first stay was in March 2020……two weeks before the pandemic lockdown. We were so impressed by this unit that we promised ourselves when we returned for a visit to beautiful Maui this would be our “GO TO” condo. You cannot go wrong if you decide to stay here. Susan the owner makes like the process so smooth and is very accommodating/responsive to your needs. Condo is centrally located, fifteen to thirty minutes to the west/north side, east side and the south side…….with the exception of Hana and Haleakala. Like we said, this condo is highly recommended.

A beautiful and well stocked condo with everything from beach to cooking was available and a view to die for. The only one complaint was the back bedroom’s mattress was very uncomfortable. The grounds and building is very well maintained by Ivan “Batman “who has much pride in his duties and always helpful with any inquiries. It was another enjoyable 6 weeks in apt.208 we will be back for a third time. Thanks ,Karen and Seon

Had such an amazing stay! Woke up to an amazing view of the beach every morning. Had everything we needed. Will definitely be staying here again & recommending to family and friends if going to Maui!

This condo was exactly as advertised. Great central, quiet location on Maui. We loved watching the sunrise over Mt Haleakala from the patio every morning, and got to see a ton of sea turtles in the water directly behind the condo! The condo was well stocked with all the basics you need for a rental, and property management was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. My only minor criticism was the mini-splits in the bedrooms would only go to 70 degrees - a few degrees cooler would be nice - but not a big deal! Would definitely stay here again!!!

Great location for Maui. Property was ok but not updated or anything spectacular. Water pressure in the showers was more like a drizzle and not a sready stream. Not scoring any points for poor quality of sheets and towels as well. However, the worst part was arriving back from our trip to an email from the owners claiming there was damage to a master bedroom closet???? Thank God I work in the fraud industry and can protect myself from scammers. It wasn't a bad place to stay, but I would skip dealing with theese owners and find a better place to stay without worrying about getting scammed.witharriving back from our trip w

We absolutely LOVED this condo! The location was very quiet & serene, but still close to activities & places we wanted to visit. We loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings & watching the incredible sunrises. Hearing the waves crashing on the seawall was so soothing & we all loved watching the sea turtles steps from the back door at all hours of the day! The facility was clean & comfortable. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The property had gorgeous views, and the countless sea turtles that live just off shore were visible at almost any time. The central location made it a great starting point for any destination, and not far from the airport. The only real negative was that the sliding doors on the master bedroom were broken, so they were unable to shut. Other than that everything was wonderful.

The property exceeded all expectations, and the pictures match it all. The condo was exceptionally clean, well furnished, decorated, and had magnificent views. We would wakeup early for sunup, make a Nespresso, and sit on the balcony watching either the sea turtles and/or early morning surfers as the sun rises behind Haleakala. Great quiet location, walking distance to some restaurants, the harbor, and a fantastic beach to which we had mostly to ourselves the entire trip. Katie did such a fantastic job with this property, it truly was a fantastic stay.

Very quiet 4th floor condo with spectacular ocean view. You can hear the relaxing sound of the surf crashing on the shoreline, if you leave the sliding glass lanai door open. Full kitchen with all dishes and full size washer and dryer. Cable TV in every room. Short drive to many great restaurants, beaches, and places to shop. Walking distance to the Maui Aquarium, Starbucks, Carl's Jr, Circle K, Phillips 76, and several restaurants by the harbor.

The condo was perfect. It had everything we needed as listed in the description online plus more. Rohan, the host, called shortly after we arrived welcoming us! He asked if we needed anything and gave us his number to contact him if we did need anything. The location was great.and easy to get to. We saw sea turtles along our sea wall every day!! We had a great stay and would definitely stay there again if we return!

The location was awesome. The property needs a lot of TLC. Could have been a little cleaner when we checked in. The amenities provided were good. The owner are very welcome to contact me to go through some of the things that require fixing. I will be happy to help to make this unit more appealing for future guests

This property was so clean, stocked with things needed for Maui experiences and not to mention the gorgeous view right on the ocean. The location was perfect for many of the adventures we did. Set-up of condo was perfect! We truly had a trip of a lifetime. I will miss my coffee with the sea turtles right out the front door every morning. Highly recommend!

This property did not disappoint! Beautiful oceanfront exactly as advertised. We watched turtles just feet away from sun up to sundown. We also enjoyed seeing monk seals in the bay. Also amazing that this condo is walking distance to extensive beaches that went for miles. Love this place!

The photos don’t do this place justice. It was perfect! Clean, comfortable, and had everything you need to cook, grill by the pool or enjoy the beach. You can walk to aquarium, shops and dining and easy to get to most places on the island. It was truly a gem! Thank you!

This place was so clean, had everything we needed, was in an excellent central location, blasted cold A/C, and was in every way perfect for our family with two toddlers. Our 3 year old slept in the second bedroom and our 1 year old slept in the packnplay in the bathroom. The elevator worked well. There was always plenty of parking. So spacious with an excellent view. We could have walked to the pier for our boat charter.

Our vacation at Luana Moana was absolutely wonderful! The view from the lanai is absolutely breathtaking and relaxing. It is quite apparent that Denise has put a lot of time and thought into making everyone’s visit comfortable relaxing and an experience to last a lifetime. I would recommend everyone book their stay in Maui at the Luana Moana. I will definitely be back on my next visit! Thank you Denise for sharing your sharing your wonderful home with us!

We had an amazing time! This property is well positioned with a beautiful view of the bay! Views of the bay and the mountains were breathtaking! It was incredibly special to wake up to this view each morning. We were able to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and watch the sunrise each morning from the lanai. We also enjoyed breakfast on the lanai. Hay-craft Beach is a short walk down the street which was very relaxing. This property is the perfect setting inside and out for a family get away. The landscaping and pool on the grounds are extremely well maintained! We were able to watch turtles swim in the bay from the lanai and beautifully landscaped yard. This was our first trip to Maui to celebrate our daughter’s Highschool graduation. My mother who is 81 years of age also joined us. She thoroughly enjoyed her visit as well. Definitely family friendly property. We highly recommend this property and hope to return again one day! 💕

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Maui at this condo. The view was even better than the pictures. The sunrise right from balcony was an extra bonus and watching the turtles everyday was thrilling. The condo is close to everything. The elevator and luggage rack made things easy too. We grilled and enjoyed the pool. The second bedroom is smaller but it worked great for us and access to beach stuff was a plus!

This is our second stay in this unit and everything was just as good as the first. Rohan checks on you when you arrive. The condo is clean, beautifully updated, and located in a quiet area with quick access to the rest of the island. We love watching the waves roll in across the bay and seeing the sea turtles feed along the seawall. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

This condo is everything our family needed and more!! Very clean, it had all the essentials and the host communication is the best I ever received from all my years of renting. We got to see turtles, walked to the close by beach, used the pool which although small, it was never crowded. I highly recommend this place!

In 20+ years of staying in short-term rentals, this may have been the very best. The location is convenient to the entire island and being waterfront can't be beat. The condo is beautifully decorated, well stocked, completely comfortable in every way - so much so that it would have been very enjoyable just to stay in. Just a short walk to the beach, the harbor, and great restaurants. Hope to have the opportunity to return.

Highlight was definitely the ocean view & sounds from the balcony and seeing dozens of sea turtles every day. Walking distance to a beach and Harbor with a few stores and restaurants. Pretty quiet which we liked. Condo was nice for the 3 of us. Everything we needed was there. We never saw the property manager, but we had good info from owner and a resident so it didn’t matter.
