This condo is in a quiet well-kept complex with a pretty pool and grounds. The unit is small, but the space is adequate for two people. No frills, but it was clean and had everything we needed. I do wish the owner had left written instructions for operating the tv's. There was a mystifying array of remotes, and we never did master them. The best thing about the condo is the location. We were there during Humpback Whale season, and our lanai was a perfect perch for whale watching. We really regretted not packing our binoculars (hence the tittle of this review). There is a very nice little beach park at the end of the road, only about 1/4 mile from the complex. Walk 1/4 mile in the opposite direction and you are at Ma'alea Village, where there are a few cafes, shops, and the Maui Ocean Center. A couple of caveats: - There is air conditioning, but the two window units are very noisy. We mostly got by without a/c by opening the doors and windows to let the bay breezes flow through. - The condo buildings along Ma'alea Bay are directly under the landing path for the airport at Kahului. The planes coming in for a landing are not too frequent, but they are loud. Not a deal breaker for us, but worth mentioning. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would consider renting this condo again.

The home is lovely, the location is great and the view is spectacular! It was just my husband and I so we didn’t use the pullout couch. Book here you won’t be disappointed, I highly recommend it.

I feel this little spot on the island is the best. Quiet yet convenient. This little condo was very nice. Great view of the ocean. Ron was quick to respond on the one occasion that I needed a little assistance. Mahalo Ron and Shirley for sharing your little slice of paradise with us!

Super clean condo that was perfect for our time spent in Maui.

Nice condo right on the ocean, could see whales from the balcony! Good central location. Small beach out front but very close to some larger ones. We went to both Kaanipali and Wailea area, short drive. Condo very clean and comfy! Has everything you need including beach chairs, cooler, umbrella. Would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at this condo! It was clean and the view was gorgeous! We walked down to the sand on our first morning there and loved seeing a turtle! The kitchen was well-stocked and we loved having a washer and dryer! Mahalo!

Sunrises and sunsets with this view were incredible. You feel like you could just dive right off the balcony and into the ocean. But don’t! Haha this had everything we needed and was an ideal location for taking our 1 year old to the aquariums because it’s practically next door! Honestly having the nice tv to watch a show on Netflix or Hulu (Survivor is our fav) really helped to decompress after a full day of travel only made more rigorous with COVID. All in all we were supremely happy with our stay. I asked the host for late checkout because of a zoom doctors appointment of a half hour and they responded quickly and accommodated my request. So kind. The kitchen is fully functional and having your own washer and dryer in the unit is soooo handy. I swear that’s what got me to book this over some others and I’ve used it daily. The only thing is I wish there was a kettle because I’m a tea drinker. But you can just add water and no coffee to the coffee maker and it totally works to heat up water. Also my husband wished there was a coffee grinder cause he brought his own beans. Also wish the water pressure was a little stronger but totally gets the job done. But the king bed with a babe is so essential and we have had great nights sleep. The bed is so comfortable. The AC is a little loud in the room but it works as a white noise machine for sleeping baby so mama and dada don’t need to be quiet out in the living room/kitchen or when showering. Another nice feature is the two doors into the bathroom (one from bedroom and one from living room hall) so you can close it off when babe is napping but still access it without walking through the bedroom. All little things I thoroughly appreciated about this all in one complete condo. We will absolutely keep this in mind for our future Maui visits! We are happy campers all the way around! Thank you Ron and Shirley! Big Mahalo!

A beautiful view of the harbor and Suagr beach. Air conditioning that we missed on the rest of our trip to Maui!

The condo was clean, well furnished, and fully equipped. The owner was great to work with, communication was excellent. I highly recommend this owner and condo

I picked this unit for the nice ocean front view and the fact that it offered Air Conditioning in both living room and bedroom and it delivered nicely on both of these. The unit is in a very windy part of the island, I thought knew that, but found the winds a bit more brisk than anticipated. While this condo hit the marks for me, I would suggest insulating the doors and louver window in the bedroom to keep the winds from blowing out the cool air when you choose to use the AC. Other high marks were for a nicely updated bathroom, and convent assigned parking.

Unit in desperate need of updating. Water view is great.

Wonderful stay at this beautiful condo. It had everything we needed and Ron and Shirley were very responsive and accommodating.

Nice relaxing spot nestled in Maalaea Bay. Features full kitchen, nice large bed and balcony with a great view. Haycraft beach is within walking distance down the road and has great snorkeling (Fish/Turtles). Great place to stay on a budget. Would stay again.

Enjoyed the stay. Accurate description of unit.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay. Very nicely appointed property with lots of modern touches. Beautiful view of Haleakala off the balcony, and a wonderful, quiet beach just down the street. It’s a very short drive to Kihei to the south and Lahina to the north. Would definitely stay here again.

We love this place. Say on the balcony and just listened to the ocean morning and night. Condo was nice. We really enjoyed our stay.

Perfect respite, nice upgrades, and fully supplied for everything one would possible want for a stay at the beach. It was pretty quiet, and restful, which is exactly what I needed at that time.

Overall, good experience. The location grants easy access to activities on the island, including within walking distance of the aquarium. We loved being ocean front and seeing the sea turtles below. It had everything we needed, but be sure to use the microwave on the counter and not the one above the stove as we spent way too long figuring out it didnt heat up. :) We definitely recommend.

We had a nice stay in this oceanfront property; the stunning view of Haleakala was a great bonus! Since we used to live on Maui, we just sat on the lanai and watched the play of the clouds and 'alpenglow' on the mountain instead of running down to the beach for sunset. Also, best thing about the (very clean & well-stocked) condo was the air-conditioned bedroom! Really helped us sleep on our 1st night on Maui. We'd stay here again.

close to all our activities, clean, easy to get to, great parking spot

The condo was great. Roomy with great AC. We really didn't use the kitchen, but it was fully furnished. The washer and dryer helped us out a lot too. There is a small beach on site where you can sit by the water and maybe snorkel, but not really play in the water due to the rocks, but the closest beach is a good walk or short drive away. However there is very little parking so you better walk or drive farther to another beach. Of course there are plenty to choose from.
