Only spent 2 nights here at the end of our Maui visit-and wish it would have been more!Beautiful furnishings, well stocked and views to die for!Communication was great with owner-appreciated her information.Only draw back, not a great location for walking. Was hoping to walk for coffee in the morning or lunch/but had to get in the car for those things. This was minimal though due to the beautiful views and quiet space.

Great stay on the Ocean. Turtles to see every morning off the Lanai was my favorite! Gorgeous View's of the ocean and amazing Sunsets!! Nice, clean and cozy. Condo has everything you could need for a great stay. Close to all the activities. Needed to contact the owner once and she replied back to me within 5 minutes! Check in and out were so easy. Definitely will rent again!

Perfect size for 2. Guest host answers questions promptly. Beautiful view and tastefully decorated. Love the little extras like guest size shampoos, etc.
A new mattress may be in the future. Otherwise it was great!

We chose this property because it was a short walk from where our adult kids/grandkids had booked. This studio was much larger than other studios we have stayed in, feeling almost like a one bedroom because of the curtain that can be pulled between the bed area and the living/dining space. Some things we really appreciated: plenty of electrical and usb outlets by both sides of the bed and couch, beach equipment including beach chairs and snorkel gear, fully functional kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar and dishwasher, condiments in the fridge - you might want to see what is there before you buy ketchup and mustard, two kinds of coffee makers- keurig and a drip coffee pot. Things to know - the pools are at the rest of the resort across the street. We mostly used the pool at our family’s unit as it was heated and ours were not. As others have mentioned, there is a lot of light at night. I woke up often thinking it was daylight but it was just 2 or 3 am. We enjoyed seeing turtles in the water at the sea wall right outside the door, practically. It’s pretty special.

This place is beyond amazing. I was worried that the view wouldn’t look like the pictures, but I was worried for nothing. We will be staying here every time now.

melissa’s condo was very nice for us, she had extra items for us to use, beach towels, cooler @ many more, felt very safe on second floor to leave the slider doors open listening to crashing waves cashing @ amazing rainbows every morning

We loved being able to sit on the lanai with a view of the water and hear the waves all night. So many things to walk to, including nearby pocket beaches, great restaurants and shops. Comfy bed, well-appointed kitchen and decorated so nicely. Busy neighborhood, but close to everything in West Maui.

First time to Maui and this was definitely a great place to stay. The host was attentive and amazing, very communicative for any kind of questions. It was exactly as advertised (actually better, because the oceans at your door and you can see the sunset on the porch). Everything you need for your stay is there too. Thanks again!!

We booked this for our last couple of days in Maui and only regret not being able to stay longer! The views are amazing, the decor is calming and inviting, and it is in a great location. It was very clean and even had beach chairs and a beach umbrella that we enjoyed. Would love to come back in the future. Thankful Cheryl opened her home for others to enjoy!

My second trip and husband’s first trip to Maui. Came to celebrate our anniversary. This property was amazing! Everything was just as described and better. Honestly, the description and pictures don’t do it justice. We had an amazing time and are already planning our next trip!

We LOVED our stay! The best part was being able to enjoy our coffee in the mornings on the lanai watching the sunset — it’s always what I look forward to most when on vacation! The condo was perfect for our small family (2 adults, 1 4 y/o) and it was a great place to relax after exploring the island and being in the sun and water all day. We totally recommend staying here!!! I hope we will be back!

The room was excellent. Wonderful beaches nearby. Highly recommended.
One minor negative... The pool/laundry key doesn't open the laundry across the street. I notified ownership, but didn’t receive a response. Really, a minor issue.

Relaxing, beautiful location. Multiple trips to Maui over the years but this home was perfect for the 2 of us. Comfy bed & sheets. Easy parking, quiet surroundings and the best sunset views. Our only issue was timer on a/c. Due to asthma issues we needed it on at night vs leaving windows open. Waking up in middle of night to restart was a bit rough but everything else made up for it. We will highly recommend to friends & family.

Perfect location with amazing views. The condo is beautifully renovated and the host provided more than I could ask for. It truly felt like I was home. The only thing I did not like was that the listing had a Hot tub listed as an amenity but there was no hot tub in the unit or anywhere on the property.

Nice place steps from Sea wall. Friendly neighbors. Road noise was annoying because Aircon could only be used for 4 hour chucks with timer so needed to sleep with windows open and glass slider open. Back screen door doesn’t lock properly when the glass sliding doors are open and unit is on the ground floor.so security is questionable. But safe neighborhood. Great spot on island.

This ocean view property was amazing. We saw sea turtles swimming from our balcony and a beautiful rainbow over Molokai. The location was perfect for a short 5 min drive to amazing snorkeling at Nāpili Bay and Kapalua Bay. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards and towels. I highly recommend this property!

We had an amazing stay at this property! It is very well situated and stocked with conveniences and appliances. We used the grill outside, and loved having a blender to make fruit smoothies! It is very near Honolua Bay, our favorite snorkeling spot and even Slaughter House beach! Highly recommend this property!!

Million dollar view on the balcony! Everything was provided to enjoy time at the beach - we rented snorkeling gear and swam with turtles. The location was perfect for a ride up the coast in our jeep. Very quiet location! We enjoyed grapes, cheese, crackers and wine on the balcony at sunset. The provided shampoo and conditioner were appreciated. Loved our stay!

We left after staying only 2 of our 7 paid days. The unit was dark, veranda was almost unusable given how much heat the window style air conditioning unit pumped out into the space. No seating area inside for dinning option. Bath was remodeled but the heated mirror made the room to hot. To much 'clutter' around in an effort to make the unit user friendly. The listing advised that the unit was in a residential complex, and that there was no service or attendant at the pool. Ok, that's fine. What the listing did NOT state was that the pool was on the other side of the road, a bit of a hike from this ocean front unit, and that there was limited, if any, parking available near the pool.
September 2024
We stayed numerous nights and had an excellent stay with stunning ocean views. The condo was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. An amazing view and we watched sea turtles every day. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed our stay. This unit is well equipped with everything we needed and more. We enjoyed borrowing the tennis racquets and beach umbrella. Only negative is that I thought it was closer to the beach, the block this unit is on backs up to a sea wall.

Place was probably built in 80’s based on exterior. Owner was great! Clean and cute.
Everything you will need from paper towels to beach chairs. Mostly very quiet and private spot. Great sea life seen from balcony. If you want a modern feel this may not be the place for you.May go back simply bc of the location

Beautiful weather week of 9/2/24! This was our 2nd stay at Pohailani Maui Resort, 2 different studio condos. Great location! You can walk to beaches, food places, etc... Condo is clean and well stocked. Reasonably priced as well. Pictures of condo are accurate. Assigned parking is a plus! We saw several sea turtles and mom/baby Manta Reys - very cool!

We rented a week for our 35th anniversary… and had a wonderful week. The beach areas are eroded away - so we drove to other beaches to snorkel. (Hint - go to the Sheraton in Valley your car… Take your stuff and go snorkeling at Black rock right there on the beach… Then when you’re done eat at the cliff diver bar… Get your ticket validated and your valet was free. If you don’t get it validated… It’s 50 bucks. Lunch ran us about 70 each time we did it… We thought that was a fair trade.). Parking was a little quirky… On some days someone would be parked there… Two hours later they’d be gone. We just parked in the guest spot and had our same parking pass. Overall… Very romantic. We really enjoyed the stay… The place is super clean and stocked full of Items… We kept even discovering things in. The mattress and the bed is very comfortable. Small but great little place for a couple in love.

Overall stay was good.
Location wasn’t bad but VERY quiet. If that’s for you great but I found it pretty boring in the area. There’s a few walkable restaurants but it’s dead. Except Miso Phat.
Condo was decent and gave us what we need. The communication was great . I couldn’t find the key code and it was after 6 but she responded immediately. Toilet didn’t work, had to open the lid to flush but they came the next day while we were out and fixed it.
The view is great with the sunsets. The lanai was perfect for them but it was a little dingy with previous stays. This may not effect others but if you are sensitive to smell you will need an air freshener or plug in for your stay. The condo has a bit of an old musty smell but I’m really sensitive. Glad I brought some pillow spray and used most of it. Beware of ants just like their descriptions on your arrival instructions. It was a bit stressful every time we ate and drank.
Overall it served its purpose and happy with it.

We had a wonderful time in Maui staying here! The view off the balcony is absolutely beautiful! Parking was a breeze with an assigned parking spot. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The bathroom was also well stocked. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay amazing! Beach chairs, beach towels, small cooler, tennis gear, etc they have it all! There are 2 beautiful beaches with in just a 5-10 minute walk as well as many food options and stores just a short walk away. Our favorite by far was the gorgeous view. We loved sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean and taking in the beauty Maui has to offer. Communication was awesome and they get information to you right way! We loved it! 100% recommend this condo!

We enjoyed staying here on our first ever trip to Maui! There were lots of sea turtles everyday and it was close to beaches and restaurants. The room was clean, comfortable, and nice. We loved our stay here. The only warning is that the afternoon sun comes right in and can heat up the inside if the shades aren’t down.
