Completely Perfect Stay! This was an amazing property, the location is so great, close to everything! The property shows better in person than the pictures. What makes this property the best is a perfect host, every single expectation was exceeded. The host was available at the drop of a hat if needed, but also ensured you enjoyed the property uninterrupted.This was not only a 10/10 stay, but the best short term rental we have ever used. Can’t wait to go back if possible. Great for any group, we had a family of 6 and the suite was not only spacious, it made us feel like we could have fit more (a huge plus for a larger group).

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.

What a lovely stay! The condo is immaculately clean and is stocked with absolutely everything you could need, plus items in the kitchen and bathrooms in case you forget anything. Everything is in excellent working order. The grounds are very well cared for and lovely. There are tons of chairs to use in the pool area. At the time we visited there was no beach, only a cordoned-off seawall. There is a small public beach only about 500 feet away. The pool is very clean. It's "solar heated" which meant that is was a bit too cold for me. The whale watching from the lanai is excellent! Lots of breaches, fin slapping, etc. Kate even left decent binoculars. Perfect! Kate is a perfect hostess; quick to respond, kind, and generous. Don't sleep on this unit! You won't be sorry.

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.
