Amazing sunsets every night and access to snorkeling with turtles from the condo. It had everything we needed, grilled fresh fish every night. Not an huge issue, but kitchen gets hot while cooking and doesn't cool down quickly. Would stay again.

This is definitely an amazing spot to stay for that waterfront and the sound of the waves. We spent every morning and evening we were there out on the lanai listening to the waves crashing. We were there between two tropical storms so it was too cloudy for those sunsets, but still gorgeous. It was nice and close to lots of different spots to eat/visit and we like staying up that far north because we can avoid having to drive up and down the two lane freeway our whole trip. The Plantation House and Hula's Grill were two places we really enjoyed.

I had high hopes for this place, especially since the snorkeling out front was amazing, and the location of the units was ideal. However, there were several issues that would prevent me from staying here again. 1) The HVAC thermostat is capped at 72, the house never actually gets to set point, hovers around 73-76. I paid thousands for the stay, I guess the $100 electric bill savings is more important than guest comfort. 2) There is a persistent moldy smell. I’ve never complained about mold before or had issues, but this was noticeable. I developed a sore throat and chest cold (tested negative for COVID and strep). Draw your own conclusions. 3) The exterior is filthy, with bird and lizard poop everywhere. It really needs to be power washed. You couldn’t avoid stepping in it or rolling your suitcase through it and it went up the walls too, disgusting. 4) The floors inside were dirty, which was even more frustrating after walking through the mess outside. If barefoot your feet are filthy within minutes of waking around. I tried to vacuum the floors, the vacuum did not work properly- it filled kicked up dust when turned on, making it even worse. There was no mop provided. 5) The sliding glass doors upstairs and downstairs doors are extremely hard to open and close. 6) The assigned parking spot is extremely tight to get into - takes multiple back ups. 7) No Costco beach chairs or umbrella provided. Couldn’t pay me to stay here again.

This was our second stay at Lakeland B102. It really is the ideal location, right on the water! We loved relaxing on the lanai, enjoying the sound of the waves and palm trees, and watching the sunset. Quick drive to grocery stores and shopping, easy access to all Maui has to offer! The unit was clean and well-appointed. We made good use of the boogie boards and beach chairs! Hosts are awesome and always respond quickly to any questions. Mahalo for another fantastic trip!

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: If you want as close to the ocean as you can get, then this is the place! It was awesome! I loved the way it was decorated, all the art, the flooring throughout, and the furniture. The master bedroom on the top floor with the huge sliders was extra special as we turned the ac off and just had them open all night. The lower balcony was great with a high table to sit at as well as 2 nice chairs to lean back in. It is also a small complex which was nice. Thank you.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 3 stayed in what we described as PERFECT for us! Every day we said we can’t believe how great this place is! The complex is small which gives a home-y feel. It’s also very quiet. The end unit made a wonderful cross breeze. Also, the end unit made the lanai open on one side which made it feel that much more open. The decor was lovely! The furniture is very comfy, especially the king bed. Plenty of towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. Having a washer and dryer was fantastic! The location of this place is phenomenal, very low key, just what we hoped for. And RIGHT ON THE BEACH. Hearing the waves is so calming. The beach is swimmable and good for snorkeling. The beach sunsets views are perfection! Of all the places we could stay, we will choose this place, every time.

We had a very pleasant stay at Sunset Central. Ray was always communicative. He found out there would be construction next door and offered a full refund or 50% off. The view of the ocean is to die for and the turtles swimming around you if you go on the little beach are so fun to watch. You have to be on the little beach on earlier side or the waves get big and difficult to get onto it. Everything is provided from towels to beach chairs and umbrella. But you have to do a load of laundry before you leave, so if you are not into that this is not your place. The w/d is a small unit so it makes sense to help out the cleaners. Location is great with short walk to get coffee, etc. Food trucks so close and yummy! You can bring back food and watch sunset for dinner. No need to go out to eat. There is only AC in bedroom and you pay extra for it. I was here in Aug and was hot in the living area. The fire was close but at condo you would have no idea that the fires happened. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!! I miss it already.

We enjoyed our stay in the Lokelani Condos and would choose to stay here again in the future, The condo is comfortable and very clean. We appreciated the air conditioning during our stay. The ocean views from the main floor and master balconies are stunning. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed. From the outside, the complex is a bit dated and the pool could use some work. There is a small outdoor grill next to the parking lot and stairs to the second floor. You have to walk a ways to get down to a small beach that is semi-private. There is a grocery store and shops close by.

We recently stayed at this Vrbo rental, and it was perfect! The condo was impeccably clean, bright, and airy, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The location is unbeatable—right on the water and just a short walk or drive to fantastic snorkeling spots, shops, and restaurants. Check-in was a breeze, and communication with the management was super easy and efficient. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a serene and convenient getaway. Five stars!

We had an absolutely amazing time as a family! Sunsets every night, snorkeling right at your doorstep and all the comforts of home. The location was quiet and so many things were a short walk away.

We have never stayed at a vacation home where we would actually choose to forgo a nice restaurant for dinner in order to pick something up so we could hurry back before sunset and eat on the pristine lanai after a day of exploring. Everything we needed and more was provided at Sunset Central. We have fallen in love and hope to return very soon.

The location couldn't be any better! Condo is close to shops, best beaches, and restaurants. You really cant get any closer to the sea. The little beach along with the neighboring larger beach are really all you need. You can snorkle and swim (best when tide is low). Turtles were seen every day. Sitting at the lanai table or lawn chair watching the sun set was magical. The pool was a perfect place to swim and cool down. The condo is well stocked. It coupd definitely use some updating. We did go buy a new set of bed sheets. The ones on the bed when we arrived were so pilled they felt like sandpaper. Some minor refreshing would make this rental a 10 star!!

Stocked with a lot of dishes, plastic storage and pots and pans. Beds were good and unit 205 was great. However disappointed that there was no beach directly associated with the condos. Had to go to neighboring condo complex to get into the ocean. Pictures for condo beach access very deceiving. However thoroughly enjoyed our family time together at the condo

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: This was the last condo we stayed at during our trip and it was by far our favorite! It was so well stocked with everything you could need, from all types of kitchen appliances and BBQ tools (we bbq’d one night right outside our lanai), to a bathroom with not only toiletries but hair dryer, curling iron, regular hair iron, a first aid kit. We noticed the shower pooled a bit on the first day and so we called to let them know and within 5 minutes someone was there snaking the drain. The condo also had coolers, beach chairs, and a bucket with beach toys. The mattress in the bedroom and in the sofa bed were so incredibly comfortable that they both felt brand new. The ac in the bedroom cooled well. The view was spectacular! The sunsets were beautiful! We were able to snorkel and saw more fish there than in any of the other snorkeling spots we went to in 3 different islands. The box of chocolates was a nice welcome touch. It was by far our favorite and can’t wait to go back!

Pros: Location was great! View was amazing. We saw turtles daily. Air conditioning was wonderful and much needed during our stay. Cons: The condo is very dirty. I didn’t notice until day three that the sheets had some sort of black/brown stains on them. They should have been replaced prior to us arriving. The shower head had mold covering it. The sinks appeared to be moldy as well. I will agree with other reviews and say this location is very outdated. We don’t need much because we usually are at the beach or finding something to do. However, a few upgrades in here would make a HUGE difference. If I were coming back to Maui, I would not choose this condo specific again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lokelani - B205 was the perfect accommodation! We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with local goodies upon arrival. Our family stayed 6 nights and were very pleased with the comfy beds for a full night’s rest, the fully stocked kitchen to cook amazing meals, and the gorgeous ocean view. The location was great. We enjoyed walking for coffee, cinnamon rolls, and local food trucks. There were beautiful beaches within a 10-minute drive. Also, check out the Whaler’s Shopping Village when you stay. There were plenty of supplies for the length of time we stayed. My only suggestion is to bring additional personal hygiene items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion if staying more than 3 days. We will definitely stay here again!

For a couple or family of 3 this place is really nice with a beautiful view! The unit was Very clean and in a good location. The only thing I would like to see is some carpet runners, which would help with tracking around sand. If you go to the beach, there is no way to get all the sand off you and with pure tile floors there are no places to wipe your feet beside the entry mat. Besides that, we really liked the place

The condo we rented was great, exactly like the photos. The rooms were spotless, the box of toiletries and kitchen cleaners was such a bonus, great supply of everything we needed for a week. The condo itself was very roomy although we really spent most of our time on the balcony overlooking the ocean and the steady stream of green turtles swimming by. The little beach at the end of the property was great, especially when a green turtle came ashore. The pool was at the end of the parking lot, so no view, but it was clean and great for a relaxing dip after a busy day. Bathrooms were roomy and clean. Beds were very comfortable although the twin beds seemed very small for adults. I would definitely return.

Aloha - our family had a great stay on Maui and enjoyed the condo. It was very comfortable using the A/C or letting the trade winds blow in off the water. Literally 20 feet from the ocean, the views are amazing and would expect epic times during the winter (whale migration). I rated 5 stars across the board even though it's not perfect. When considering the cost/value, it's definitely a 5 star place. You'll need to drive to the beach and you won't be spending time at the pool, but the place is very nicely updated with all you would need from an accommodations perspective. Our family of 4 had plenty of space and loved congregating on the deck in the evenings. Overall, I would definitely recommend the location. Easy access, easy parking, listen to the waves all day long, beautiful views and very comfortable inside. I would definitely consider a return, particularly in the winter. Mahalo!

Great quiet location off the road just north of the busyness of Kaanapali. Within 30 feet of the ocean and at night we would leave the lanai doors open and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the crashing waves. Amazing sunset views directly from the lanai looking towards Molokai and Lanai. Peter and Michelle were awesome!

It was a great place to unwind at the end of a day of site seeing. The condo is close to a lot of amenities, some within walking distance. We loved Miss Arepa, which was less a half mile away. We also enjoyed the Kapalua Trail which was about a 10 minute drive north of the condo. We didn't do a ton of cooking, but the things we used in the kitchen were good quality and well maintained. I would definitely recommend this condo and would happily stay there again. As an end unit, it was quiet and a great viewing point to the beach.

The condo was perfectly appointed with anything I needed to spend a quiet week on Maui. The large sliding glass doors really opened up the living space. The bed was really comfortable. The grounds were beautiful and the property was very quiet. Sitting outside watching the sunsets and the pod of spinner dolphins cruising by, listening to the waves, snorkeling from the beach, and watching the turtles haul out for their naps were highlights of the visit for me. I would recommend Lokelani A104 to anyone needing a relaxing vacation.
