The condo was wonderful! It was very well stock, better than any other VRBO's we have stayed at. It was very clean, beds are comfortable. The view from the lanai was beautiful. The location was fantastic. It was not crowded. The beach was quiet. Kate, the owner, was very attentive, gave great information about the area, suggestions on activities and restaurants. She definitely cares about your experience, I would recommend this condo to everyone.

10/10 stars—a perfect score! The host goes above and beyond, offering lightning-fast communication and a comprehensive packet of information on local activities, dining, and area tips. The unit is pristine, oceanfront, and completely outfitted with all the necessities to make it feel like home. The central location is a bonus!It is centrally positioned on the island and within easy walking distance of the marina for those planning any boat excursions, and Starbucks is also just steps away for those who need their cup of Joe!For anyone who shares my fear of bugs, rest assured: we didn't see a single one during the entire stay.I highly recommend this unit to any family or friends planning a trip to Maui, and it will be my first choice for accommodation on future visits to the island.

This condo served as the base of operations for the third leg of our trip, back on Maui after several days over on the Big Island. Everything was neat and tidy and the communication with Kate prior and during the trip was great. The unit had everything that we needed. It was wonderful being right by the ocean. I think it is important that you know yourself, your family and what you want. It's not the Four Seasons and it doesn't try to be-it's a solid condo rental right on the ocean, up by the Maalaea Harbor and it was perfect for what we wanted (easy access to Wailuku and the island of Lana'i). We would definitely stay again. While not an issue for us, I do want to note two things for others. First, the front bedroom does not have AC so we used a fan(provided) to pull in air from the living room. And second, as noted by others and I think in the listing-there is no beach directly in front of the unit, you just have to go a few yards down. Thank you Kate.
