Thank you for your feedback—we really appreciate you sharing your experience.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience you encountered during your stay. We wanted to let you know that the TV issue has since been resolved—it turned out to be some wiring behind the unit that needed adjustment, and everything is now working properly. The blinds in the back bedroom are also currently in the process of being repaired.
Regarding the door lock, this was fixed toward the end of your stay. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we could get it addressed.
We’re so glad you still enjoyed the great view and would consider staying with us again. We’d love the opportunity to host you in the future and provide an even smoother experience next time!
Great location for beach, day trips and ferry to Lanai
Fell in love with the quaint little town. Super easy to walk to dinner, drinks and coffee/lunch/breakfast.If you're planning a day trip to Lanai with beach time and day trips in between there isn't a better place to stay

You were 5 star guests and we are so grateful you chose us for your recent stay! Mahalo nui for leaving a lovely review and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime, aloha nui!
It was a lovely condo, and we really enjoyed our stay. During our visit, the coffee maker stopped working, but our host was very responsive and had a replacement delivered the next day, which we appreciated.A couple of small notes: it would have been nice to have four beach chairs instead of two, and it felt a bit difficult (and somewhat unfair) to be asked to wash the towels and linens before checkout, especially after paying a 300 cleaning fee. Overall, it was a nice place to stay.

Mahalo for your stay and for sharing your feedback — we truly appreciate it. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the condo and that our team was able to get a replacement coffee maker to you quickly.
We also wanted to clarify the checkout request you mentioned. We manage individually owned units across several properties, and we work with a small team of independent contractors for cleanings. Because schedules can be tight — especially when one guest checks out just before another checks in — simple steps like starting a load of towels or taking out the trash help our team stay on track and also keep tropical pests at bay. That said, it’s completely optional and only meant for guests who have the time before their flight.
Regarding the cleaning fee, unlike hotels that roll those costs into higher nightly rates, we keep our rates as low as possible by being transparent and listing it separately.
We'll share your note about the beach chairs with the owner.
Thank you again for being our guest, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Mahalo!

Sorry to hear about the TV, we provide instructions in the unit and would have been happy to walk you through it. But you are right, the view is better on Maui! We're happy you had a restful stay, aloha!
This condo and property are amazing. Beautiful view! The condo is positioned perfectly to be our of the sun all day. The beach is perfect. You can walk on the beach to Kihea from the condo (3.5 miles).

Isn't it great! Love that long stretch of beach from Haycraft Park all the way around Sugar Beach. Mahalo for the great review, we hope to see you again soon!
We really loved the unit and the complex. We loved having a washer and dryer in the unit and a/c. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and watching the sea turtles. The only suggestion would be to update the living room furniture. It looks a little dated but overall I would give our stay and A+!

Thank you so much for such a nice review and we hope to welcome you again in the future.
Beautiful surroundings. Not many places to eat locally but short drives to almost everywhere. Only complaint is ac vent on balcony makes it too hot to sit there during the day.
We did enjoy the unit. We would have appreciated seating cushions for the lanai chairs.

Aloha Anthony, apologies about the cushions. Upon checking, it should have been replaced then but we were having trouble looking for the same size as the original cushions. Rest assured this has been taken care of. We hope to welcome you again.

Nice Thouhg Not Quite What We Expected
The property boasts beachfront however there is no beach or swimming at this complex. It is oceanfront and lovely views from the lani. The unit is beautiful and in close proximity to many popular destinations and restaurants. It’s very close to the harbor.

Mahalo for your review! Beach conditions can change quite a bit due to natural factors like storm surges and seasonal weather. Storm surges occur when strong winds from storms or hurricanes push seawater onto the shore, which can temporarily cover or erode the beach. It will eventually build back up, making the beach wider again. So, it's all part of the natural ebb and flow of coastal environments! We can't predict where it'll be before each guest's stay, it's very changeable. We are happy you enjoyed your time on Maui and were happy to be a part of it, aloha!
The condo was wonderful, although there did not end up being a TV in the master bedroom. Any question or issue we had was responded to very quickly, and with too notch service! While we didn’t use all of the available gear for the beach, it was all there!! The shower in the master was such a treat and the over size stackable W/D made laundry for 4 quick and easy! Wish there had been a new guest book as the old one was full

Mahalo, it was nice to host you folks. Thanks so much for the feedback! We appreciate you and hope to see you again, aloha!
Great being on the oceanfront and the mini-split in the bedroom makes for good sleeping. Comfortable furniture and bed. Internet works great. We couldn't get the TV to come on and gave up after several attempts at rebooting and using the reset button on the back of the TV. Really encourage the owner to sort this out. A new TV would probably solve the issue. All in all a winner unit, aside from the TV issue. Responsive property management team.

Mahalo for your kind feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the oceanfront location,and that you enjoyed a relaxing and convenient stay.
Regarding the TV, as we discussed during your visit, we were sending over a technician to check on the setup. The living room TV is working properly with cable, and the bedroom TV is set up for streaming only. We’ll make sure this is clearly noted moving forward to avoid any confusion, and we really appreciate your input.
Thanks again for being great guests—we’d love to host you again anytime!
Our stay at #318 was super. Great layout and full of custom cabinets with storage everywhere. Well designed with fully stocked kitchen for cooks. Well appointed unit and would love to visit again. One small complaint was the internet service was really spotty and at times we were unable to work properly.
This is an excellent place to stay. This is the first time in this condo but we have stayed in this facility other times. Some recent updating was completed. The water pressure was ehhh but I think that is facility wide issue. Plenty of beach items in the condo to take on the beach. No issues with internet speed. Plenty of cookware and dishes. My only suggestion is to have a tray or something available to take food down to the grill area and bring back. The grounds are kept pristine and very well maintained. You will not be disappointed with this condo and the location!

No beach
Beach was non existent. Pictures did not show beach and beach wall had been completely destroyed. Would have been nice if someone had mentioned and/or shown this. Location was a great place to sit out at the table and watch the whale show, right in front of you.
The property was clean and well maintained. The property well equipped and updated.
The view from the balcony was the best. Whale watching all day from the balcony was as good as going on a whale watching tour. Within walking distance to a public beach that faces south where the usual northerly winds didn't make the water rough. It was great for snorkeling. We spotted sea turtles up close and all kinds of fish and other sea creatures.
We couldn't have asked for a better location. The property centrally located on the island so it's a short drive to the airport, Lahaina, Kihei or Wailea
