The place was perfectly clean and truly 12 feet from the ocean. Great reef out front for snorkeling. They had snorkel gear to use, games, books, tennis rackets and balls for the tennis courts across the street by the pool, laundry and rec club that comes with the place. Bang for the buck.
Maui... Rainbows off the private patio... super close parking space... I mean it was perfect! Like ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!

Overall our stay was great. The condo was perfect for us and very clean and so cute inside. Loved watching the sea turtles from the lanai. I was a little disappointed in the beach access close
to the condo.we had to drive each day
To the beach. Which wasn’t ideal. The homeless population all around the area was a little unnerving as they would hang at the picnic table by our lanai and at the end of the seawall one slept each night. One last thing to note is there is a condo above you and the walls seem thin those tenets were so loud and rude you could hear every step they made at 5:00 in the morning and hear their conversations. The location wasn’t perfect for us but the Condo was.

We stayed for 3 nights before leaving for a week in Oahu. When we first pulled in, Maintenance saw we were trying to figure out where to go and had us follow him right to our place. He was very helpful. This place was perfect for us. We planned on exploring and knew we would not be doing a lot of beach time at our place. We spent our mornings and a couple of evenings on the Lanai. We saw turtles our first night there. Communication was good and the price was very fair. The “secret beach” is a 4 min walk and was wonderful. The views are un beatable. We would absolutely stay here again. We were sad to leave.

I would definitely stay here again! The condo was clean and was exactly as described. Absolutely loved every minute!
The owners were friendly and communicative when I had questions. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer! Looking forward to staying here again.

Cheryl is wonderful and you can tell the love she puts in to the property. The view is amazing and the unit is decorated with amazing finishes. It truly makes you feel that you just started your vacation. Sweet Sandy is nearby if you need anything and Cheryl is just a phone call away. She really cares about her guests!
I would stay here again for sure. Mahalo!

We loved our stay at the Hula Hideaway. Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. The place was in the perfect location close to several of the best beaches in West Maui. The place itself is even more beautiful than the photos. It was so relaxing being able to call this place home for a few days. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our time here immensely. The view from the balcony is amazing and you can watch sea turtles swimming right in back of the condo. Thanks for a great stay!

This place has all the perfect touches and care to make you feel sooo comfortable.
We loved watching the turtles every day and even saw a few sting rays. Although there is no sandy beach right in front of property (plenty close by) the privacy, turtle watching and comfort was more than expected. We moved to another place for second half of our visit and I immediately missed this condo - wishing we just stayed here for entire trip. It was a special place for hubby and I to spend 10 yr Anniversary. Mahalo.

This was a beautiful, fully equipped and super clean studio condo in Maui. Great central location convenient to everywhere on the island. The room has the most amazing views with sea turtles swimming daily right below the lenai! Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Property was exactly as advertised. It was right on the water, clean and comfortable. Air conditioner and ceiling fan kept things cool, beach towels and chairs kept us on the go. Decorated very well, easy to access with great communication from the owners. Though we used them sparingly the kitchen had all of the pots, pans, dishes and utensils needed. Overall great experience.

Our stay here was truly amazing! Rainbows on the lanai almost evey day and the neighborhood was quiet with stunning and peaceful views. The condo was a close drive to many beaches and food and activities. The condo itself had everything we needed and more, including a binder of dining, information and suggestions that we used quite a bit. Waking up each morning to lush foliage, rainbows, birds singing, cool breezes and ocean sounds was a dream and washed all worries and cares away! We would definitely book this place again.

I used to live on the Lower Road in Maui and so it was wonderful returning to that lovely neighborhood. The studio is clean and well stocked - with gorgeous ocean views. Coffee on the lanai every morning was a highlight. Would definitely recommend.

From the second we opened the door we were in awe What an incredible view. Incredibly clean. An entire home is a one and a half. Everything you need is there. Comfortable bed and pillows. Air Conditioner to keep cool and fans. Incredible breeze when keeping window shutters open on front door. I cannot say enough about this place. Towels and beach chairs with small cooler and ice pack in freezer. Powerful blow dryer and great smelling soaps. Parking is easy and there is a Ricky beach about two minute walk from condo. Incredible

Wow just Wow! From the moment we arrived at the Hula Hideaway we felt right at home. So many thoughtful, personal touches that made the condo even more special. And that view....INCREDIBLE! We spent a ton of time just sitting out on the lanai. The condo is quiet and peaceful. We loved the location...not too busy. I’ve stayed in Kaanapali and Kihei before and hands down like Kahana the best! A quick walk to the pool and often times there was no one there, so we had it all to ourselves. Kitchen had everything we needed and more and the washer and dryer were super handy! The Hula Hideaway staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything you need is just a short walk away...beach, groceries, yummy coffee shop and restaurants. Can’t wait to come back :)

This was our first time in Maui and it was excellent. The location is great. Walking distance to a few beach access areas and some restaurants (I am still thinking about the fresh caught sashimi we had from Miso Phat).
The unit has air conditioning, but we only turned it on once. It was not very hot during our stay so we opted to open some windows instead to create a cross breeze while we let the ocean waves lull us to sleep. Speaking of sleep, one of the reasons I chose this rental was because of Jim’s description of the mattress. I’ve stayed in enough vacation rentals with terrible mattresses to know how important a good mattress is for me and my husband’s middle aged bodies. We were not disappointed! It was a great mattress.
The kitchen is well equipped, as is the rest of the unit. The condo also has some beach equipment you can use. The folding chairs were great, and we brought them to all of the beaches we visited.
The view is the star of the show. We had some great sunrises and sunsets and we had a great view of Molokai and Lanai from the lanai. Yes, you’re really that close to the ocean!
For anyone wondering about driving to other area from Kahana, it took us about 40 minutes to get to Kihei and about an hour to get to Paia. For anyone considering the Road to Hana, we did a 10-12:30 reservation at Waiʻānapana State Park, left by 7am with only a few very quick stops along the way and made it there by 10:15. (So worth it).
We hope to be back!

The location & property was perfect for us! We love to adventure so we didn't need a huge fancy place; it was clean, with enough space for us two AND a comfortable bed! We jogged to badass coffee most mornings to drink coffee on the beach. We frequented Miso sushi, the farmers market and Maui brewing which were walking distance. Could not be more pleased with the condo and location; it's close to everything. Sitting on the balcony in the morning and watching the sunset and rainbows in the evening was just what we hoped for. We'll be back!

So happy that we found this little slice of heaven for our remaining stay in Maui this past trip. Everything was exactly how it has been described by other reviewers. My wife and I enjoyed our stay. We only wish it was a wee bit longer. The lanai sits on the second floor and you have an open viewing of a beautiful sunset every evening, and if you love turtles, then you are in for a real treat. Whether you’re viewing them from the Lanai or down onto the grassy area in front of the seawall, you’ll have turtles feeding off the algae below. It is really a nice place to stay. The place was very clean. The bed was comfortable, and you have the right location to walk to Maui Brew company or down the street to the beach if you want to sit down onto the sand. Definitely would recommend staying here for at least three nights.

We had an amazing time staying here. Watching the turtles every day was a highlight for us.

Around 3-5pm turtles are right on the shore behind the sea wall. Perfect views from the 3rd story only thing is it only has one outdoor lounger to enjoy the views. Other than that everything was clean and perfect.

This is our second two week stay in this unit and we could not have been happier. It was great to be back on-island and to help LaHaina and the region recover by supporting local businesses, paying taxes and tipping well. We will certainly be back.

Cheryl is the absolute best host and her property is breath taking off the Lanie!! You will see million dollar sunsets and turtles feeding every day. The condo has everything you will need plus more. We have stayed in Kauai/Kona and Cheryl condo is by far the best for the value with that incredible view. I highly recommend this condo.

This condo is in a perfect location allowing the sound of the waves on the sea wall, view of turtles visiting the sea wall throughout the day as well as a view of whales playing in the distance! The lanai is a great place to hang out when not at the beach or visiting other areas of Maui.
The kitchen in the unit was well stocked with dishes and other cooking utensils. Stop at one of the local markets to pick up what is needed, including salt and pepper, and you will be all set!
I gave the location a 4 out of 5 stars for two reasons.
First, a couple of the pictures on the listing are not the same as what is in the condo. In one picture, a loveseat/sofa is shown, when the actual furniture piece is a wooden frame with cushions (this made a difference to me due to knee issues and the lower frame was more difficult to stand from). In a second picture, a stand alone inside A/C unit is shown with a different picture above the bed; the actual A/C unit is a window unit that tends to be louder than most stand alone inside units. Therefore I'm not certain the picture is of the correct unit.
The second reason for a 4/5 stars is that the unit needs a few updates. The chairs for the high top table on the lanai have holes in the seats where the bolts below the webbing have poked through. Also, the bathroom textiles could use an upgrade as they were super thin and very very rough.
Overall, the condo definitely fit my needs, and I enjoyed my stay!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. Not only is it beautiful, but it’s so comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quiet and peaceful and we felt relaxed from the moment we arrived. Not to mention the view! It’s right on the water, so I got to have my morning coffee with sea turtles and whales and fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves every night. My only complaint - having to leave.
