We made the mistake of not checking to see if this unit had air conditioning. Beware that the air flow isn’t great in the unit, constantly sweating. The pull out couch beds were uncomfortable with broken metal rods pushed into the upper back, the legs were positioned in a downward slope which placed increased pressure on the lower back causing those who slept in that had to be in pain the remainder of the trip.

This condo met its expectations and we had the most beautiful view and relaxing time here at Nohonani. The entire building is relatively quiet which is what we were hoping for. Reading through the guestbook was a fun journey, and it showed how much the owners of this condo truly care about every visitor's comfort while on vacation here. We appreciated the little touches such as the water filter jug, rice cooker, binoculars, dishwasher/laundry soaps, and all the fans. The lack of A/C was a little rough during Aug/Sept, but the ocean and pool helped cool us off. It wasn't an issue for us, however for the light sleepers, the ocean noise here might be a little too loud for you.

Beautiful condo inside and out! Vers well equipped and maintained. Right on the beach. It was so cool waking up in the morning watching the sea turtles and crabs doing their thing. The unit is so nice that even when it rains you feel like you’re not missing anything staying in and watching the ocean. I would absolutely stay here again when visiting Maui!

We absolutely loved this condo! The pool and beach right outside our door was so convenient. We were able to snorkel and swim with sea turtles right there. The sunsets were magical. The beds were comfortable. We were so sad to leave this rental and would definitely stay again.

August 2024

We loved staying here! Beautiful ocean front property. Access to the beach. Amazing views of the sunset every night. We saw sea turtles swimming every day, throughout the day. Beautiful, clean, and modern condo. Kitchen was pretty well stocked with equipment - pots, pans, utensils. There is no AC however there are ceiling fans and standing fans provided and there is a great cross breeze when the doors and windows are open. The condo was pretty clean however could use a little more attention to detail. We had a couple clean towels that had some hairs deep in them that we pulled out. Overall a wonderful stay and we would love to stay again!

Highly recommend! Beautiful view, comfy beds, great restaurants within walking distance (the fish market is amazing!), condo has everything you need, saw a ton of sea turtles right off the deck ever day. Great snorkeling right out front, pool was great too.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: We had a great stay at this property in general. The view is a million dollar one, You really can not beat it. We saw a seat turtle swimming at the shore right outside from our balcony the second we walked in. Our kids loved the beach area and played there every day. The pool does get busy in the afternoons, but we stayed at this condo during a popular time and the older kids were respectful and safe around our little kids. No issues at all with anyone. The pool area and the pool was cleaned every day, which was so nice. My only complaint in our specific unit was that the carpets were EXTREMELY dirty. I am not a prissy person and I could not walk on them without having flip flops on. Out kids feet would be dirty after walking on them and we would have to clean their feet before getting into bed. They really really need to be replaced. It would elevate the entire experience of the condo. Everything else was spotless and the bed linens were clean and were comfortable. One of the rooms was really really noisy at night so if you are staying in the roadside bedroom bring some noise canceling headphones for the nighttime. People honked their horns all night long. The other room was heaven at night. The ocean waves crashing sound puts you right to sleep. Not having air conditioning was scary at first but it only got a little hot for two hours in the afternoon and it really wasn't that bad. The fans kept the air moving and it was so nice. We would absolutely stay here again

The nearby little town has plenty of activities and great shops. The unit is very comfortable and extremely well appointed! The beds were super comfy and they were plenty of towels and linens. We were there in July and there wad no need for AC, the ocean breeze did everything. Maui was my favorite island and in large part due to this amazing property! I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Mahalo!

Amazing trip, amazing location. Only downside is no A/C (which we knew and are ok without) and no screen doors on the sliding patio doors (which we didn’t know, and would have chosen another unit if we had known). Been staying on these condos for nearly 30 years and will always come back. Saw sea turtles, sting rays and dolphins from our balcony. Paradise!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 adored this condo. No A/C but completely not needed. The trade winds and great window setupade this unit comfortable the whole time we were there! The views can't be beat, we saw sea turtles every single day. The parking lot is small but we had no issue finding parking ever. The pool is immaculate, and I love how it's right next to the beach too. There is a public beach down the road (about a 3 minute walk) which was just perfect. Towels and beach towels provided were plush and large, and beach stuff was greatly appreciated. Cooler was helpful for our trip to Hana. We will totally be coming back and staying for longer! This was our favorite!

This place is exactly as advertised. It was clean, comfortable and walking distance from a wonderful market. Sitting on the lanai was our favorite. Nothing beats eating meals overlooking the ocean and falling asleep to the waves at night. We will be back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We had a lovely stay at Nohonani #201. The views are amazing! The kids loved the pool and we loved the ocean acces. It was perfect for a quick dip in the ocean and snorkeling in your own backyard. We loved watching the sea turtles swim by (we called it the "turtle highway") and even a group of dolphins. Only negatives were the queen bed was very uncomfortable and pillows were flat.

I was extremely hesitate about this rental do to my brothers room in the same complex being canceled 3 days before our stay. They canceled because the complex is under construction. Well we never heard back from the manager. We attempted several times. It all worked out it was great. Clean and never heard the construction even though it was next door. I recommend this place, it had a great beach. Snorkeling was awesome. Walking distance to many restaurants and stores.

Relative to the price of other condos, this is a great value. It is fully furnished down to an iron and ironing board. The view is incredible. The location is great. Just a few miles in any direction is plenty of beaches, food, and shopping. I will definitely book this exact condo again.

Building is older and could use some updating, but the view was gorgeous and so was the beaches. Owners were prompt to get back to us, and very flexible on our checkout. We had a great relaxing vacay and would come back again!

June 2024

When we booked this condo two months ago and up until today, nothing was said about the four floor levels of construction being done right next door to us. The beeping from the backing up machinery to the drills against the bedroom walls Impacted the vacation. We do want to report that on the third night of our stay there were high winds and it blew the bedroom screen door off the track and hit a deck chair, putting a small hole in the screen.

This was the perfect place for our family of four (including two college-age kids). We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean from the master bedroom, sipping coffee on the lanai, and seeing sea turtles from the sandy beach adjacent to the condo. A few highlights: kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals, having 2 bathrooms is a plus, our kids had their own beds, it was great having an icechest/umbrellas/chairs/snorkels provided, and we liked that we could walk to food trucks and restaurants. We were right next to the pool, but it wasn't an issue. The lanai still felt private, and you can't beat being so close to the ocean.

After contacting VRBO I was directed to another property management company. I rented my unit three to four weeks before we were scheduled to go. Two days before we are to leave I get an E mail that the condo I reserved is not available. How am I to find a place on Friday afternoon when I am scheduled to leave Monday morning. No remorse, no compensation from the company. Only excuse is nothing they can do because all their condos are privately owned. IF I cancelled I'd be losing all my money.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has a beautiful view and nice pool. The condo itself could use some upgrades as the Master bedroom mattress is very old and uncomfortable (we both sank in the middle and it was very bouncy when someone moved) we couldn’t sleep through the night especially with no air conditioning. It feels old and could use some love overall.

The unit was under construction. The crew were very respectful and as quiet as could be. But my list of complaints is long. Seems everyone in condo recieved a discount except me. My chairs were broken . So Vacasa came and threw them away. And told me where to rent a chair. The cooler provided has no handle. We stayed 2 weeks and where provided enough tp for 5 days. Your not having a dinner party as the cook ware is minimal.overall NONOHANI is a great place to stay. Its MAUI but unit could be set up better.

We had 10 days of wonderful, relaxing family time and this was the perfect place to stay! The unit was clean and just as the photos described. My kids enjoyed the pool and being steps from the ocean. We saw multiple sea turtles on the beach area & beautiful fish while snorkeling. We had a flight change on the last day so I messaged the property management and they made extending our stay a breeze. My family is already planning our next stay!

This condo is on the corner so there's even more view. It's right on the water and we slept great, listening to the ocean. The views of the whales (during the winter) kept us entertained for hours.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: Had an awesome week here, everything was as advertised or better. Unit had everything we ever needed including beach chairs, cooler, and boogie boards. Can’t get any closer to the water or better views I don’t think. Watched whales all the time out front and turtles coming up to the beach in front. Pool was great to cool off after hot days at the beach. Location provided walkable options for eating as well. Some folks commented that they were worried about no AC, but it really wasn’t an issue with the breeze and fans... ocean waves crashing most of the time. Check in and out was a breeze and I would stay here for sure when we return to Maui. Also 3 other families in our group stayed in other nohonani units and felt the same.

We were grateful for all the communication and support on our stay. The construction going on will provide wonderful visual improvements in the future. The unit is well appointed with everything you need. Our fan died so they provided a new one. Our vacuum battery wouldn't hold charge so they provided us a replacement. They gals I spoke to were polite and courteous. They resolutions were prompt and confirmed. We would work with this company again.

Loved the location and the unit, but felt we should have been informed of the serious construction upfront, either prior to booking or directly in the body of the confirmation email. Including it through a secondary link seemed deceitful and the construction was a safety hazard, especially with a two year old.
Jessica B.
February 2024

Each weekday morning at 9:00 am the construction crew arrived. Throughout the remainder of the day until 5:00 pm we were unable to be in our condo due to drilling concrete and hammering often with workers on a scissor lift right in front of our balcony. Loved our condo and love Nohonani so it was a disappointment to have gone and have had no prior notification of the construction.
