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!

We came to Maui to bring my step mother's ashes to be spread with my Dad's. She had to be in care facility in Oregon as she could not take care of herself. I had promised to bring her back,

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 perfect! It’s exactly as stated and looks just like the photos. The condo has everything you need from kitchen utensils to boogie boards to outstanding views. The condo is super spacious and very clean. Communication with the owner was easy. The pool area is also very clean with convenient outside showers. It is located within walking distance to many places. Great central hub for sightseeing. 10 out of 10!

Maalaea is my favorite area and this kind of is my favorite building. The unit is just lovely and the view is amazing being on the top floor. Highly recommend.

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!

Beautifully decorated condo. Beds and linens are high quality. Centrally located on the island for easy trips to Kaanapali or Kihei.

May 2024

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.

Loved the condo.. has everything you need for your stay. Makes you feel at home right away. Very clean and easy access to both north and south side of the island. Love this place and highly recommend!

Overall, a nice place, location-wise. But saying this has been updated is misleading. The kitchen was updated but the job was cheap. The whole unit could use a facelift. Pictures make it look a lot more updated that it really is. Maybe it’s because my husband is in construction and building materials. It was not impressive. Just be honest in your description. The location was everything! Ocean right out the back door, turtles in the evening…just breathtaking. And it was close to all our excursions. I would recommend it to friends but if they want luxury this is not the place for them. It would also be nice if we didn’t have to check out till 11 or 12. 10:00 checkout is not so good when you have a flight at 5:30 pm. But that was told up front, so we knew about it. Nice furniture to sit on outside too. Just a lovely setting.

April 2024

Overall a great stay! The check-in process was smooth. Communication with the property manager was responsive. Location is walkable to a few food and drink options, drivable to many more. Views of the water are great! Inside was clean with comfortable beds. The unit was just as described and pictured.

Convenient central location to get to activities on the island. Short walk to the Maui Ocean Center and shops nearby. Spacious and easily accommodated our family of 5. Enjoyed sitting in the lanai and saw a few whales and turtles. Great ocean view!

The view is incredible. Watched the sea turtles from the balcony. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking tools. Toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, shampoo and body scrub available until you can go shopping the next day

This place is very clean, private, quiet and accurate to the description. My fiancé had the best time with this being her first Hawaii trip. She had a very good experience staying here and the sunrise every morning is beautiful on this property. Highly highly recommend to anyone that wants the peace and quiet approach with beautiful views. We will most definitely be returning!

Nice and clean condo with breathtaking views. Very comfy beds too. Location was perfect for us because it allowed to explore west and South Island without hrs of driving. Having beach chairs and a cooler was a nice plus! Thank you!

We were there 6 nights and never turned on the TV....when we weren't out sightseeing, we were on the balcony watching whales with our binoculars and we had huge sea turtles daily by the bulkhead below. Beds were comfortable. Very clean. Karen was always there for us if we had any questions or needed anything. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our fav building in the Maalaea complex! This unit has everything and tasteful upgraded furniture so that it’s very comfortable and the view is amazing. Only downside for us (3 80 year olds) was the firmness of the beds. Very firm!
Lauri N.
March 2024

Very nice condo, great quiet location away from the resorts but not too far to drive to beaches. There is a nice beach at the end of the road. Loved being able to walk out the door and watch whales and turtles. Short walk along the seawall to the marina and aquarium. There is a great pizza place by the aquarium! Bring your own beach towels, the ones provided (and there were only 2) are pretty shabby, that would be our only complaint. We had a great time and would love to return!

The master bedroom is in desperate need of replacement, along with the pillows. There’s no hooks in the Master bathroom, yet there’s 4 (!!!!) in the spare. Should have been told ahead of time that the location of the condo is 1 floor above the swimming pool. Not very relaxing when there’s a bunch of kids screaming. The oversized furniture in the living room/dining area was ridiculous. The round glass table is in the way. And, the wooden base under the glass table top on the balcony is infested with flying bugs. We were very disappointed with this condo and wouldn’t stay here again.

This is a beautiful property with an ocean view. We could see whales and turtles right from our lanai. We loved how it was in the center of Maui and easy to get to anyplace.
Sherri P.

Great location, clean, quiet, beautiful view from lanai, lots of room. We walked our beach and saw several turtles and whales from our lanai. I would definitely recommend it. Loved the stay and would stay there again. The host was very prompt with replies and very attentative to our needs.

Enjoyed the locality of the unit being next to the Boat Harbor and restaurants. Fantastic view of beach with constant sightings of Humpback whales spouting everywhere. February was a good time to go to see whales and turtles. unit was very clean and bed was super comfortable! Kitchen worked well for us as well.
Richard F.
March 2024

This unit provided everything we needed for our trip. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds were comfortable, the lanai, and the views were incredible. Rohan was easy to work with. The area is a little quieter than staying in Kihei, or Lahaina, which we have done in the past, but we very much appreciated being able to walk to shops and restaurants With very light traffic. The unit was very quiet at night. We would book it again.
Chris S.
February 2024

We were very pleased with our stay. Unit was spacious and nice - ideal for our group of 5. Amenities were ample and well-considered. Location was central, with casual dining walkable. And we really loved being right on the water, with a stunning view of Kihei, Haleakala - and whale watching galore. Would recommend to anyone.
Bill S.
February 2024

The complex is well run and clean. The room looks right onto the water and we could see whales from our room. The biggest surprise was a small beach on the property that is maybe 100 yards from the room. At sunset about 10 sea turtles would beach themselves for sleeping. We watched the creatures almost every night. A real bonus. The only draw back is there are only a couple of places to dine at within a reasonable walk. We did a Costco run and we cooked a bunch of meals in the room. Good value and a winner.
Dan Y.

Beautiful property! Saw more whales than we could count right from the comfort of the balcony! Can’t wait to come back
Camille O.

Condo is beautifully remodeled and whale activity is non-stop from your chair on the lanai. Quieter than Kihei but everything is close by. A great visit.
Punahele K.
February 2024

Nicely situated for ease of movement around central and south Maui. We intentionally stayed away from Lahaina area for obvious reasons. Proximity to ocean was fantastic. Interior space was roomy. Entire area is quiet except when the jets are on their landing pattern. Pool area quiet and easily accessible. Whale sightings were fantastic. Most visible without binoculars
Craig M.
February 2024

Our group of two couples loved everything about our stay. The condo's location is a great home base for people like us who want to explore the whole island. It felt right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. The condo has updated, upscale decor. It is so well stocked and Katie provided so many extras. We couldn't get enough of the lanai as there were whales everywhere, viewable right from the lanai! Katie was such a gracious host. Do yourself a favor and book this condo today. You won't be sorry!

The kitchen and amenities were spot on. Can't really think of anything we needed that wasn't available.

This property has everything you need, it’s roomy, clean and comfortable. It is in a great location, centrally located with easy access. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, overlooking the ocean and within walking distance to sugar beach, the harbour and Maui ocean center.
