YOU MUST STAY AT THIS CONDO!!!! we were extremely happy with the beautiful condo and the immaculately kept grounds. We brought friends who had never been to any of the islands and what an incredible impression it left for them. We will definitely return and hopefully Howard's condo will be available to stay at again. Everything in the fully stocked condo to the abundant plush bath towels, we felt right at home and enjoyed the ocean breezes that flowed through the home. Howard was most helpful and accomodating to our needs for a late check out. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed!!!
Jun 27, 2019My family and I had a wonderful stay at Howard's condo. It was very clean and easy to get to. The view was beautiful. We would love to stay here again in the future!! Thank you Howard!!!
Jun 27, 2019Howard was prompt and thorough with his communications with us. The condo was exactly as he described and perfect for 2 couples as we each had our own ensuite bathroom. The full kitchen enabled us to eat at home for 80% of our meals. The master has a safe in the closet. The guest room has a cooler, beach towels, chairs, snorkels/masks for use thus saving valuable suitcase space. The crashing waves are a mere 50 ' from the balcony and we enjoyed the daily surfers. The condo is in the perfect spot away from the noisy tourists but close enough to everything. The gas BBQs are new and the pool is cleaned daily. Amazing place to stay on an absolutely gorgeous island. ALOHA - Go and Enjoy
Jun 27, 2019My family had a great time and enjoyed our stay here. The apt has everything we need, and is in a very convenient location. The view from the living room and master bedroom is definitely great. Though the apt is very close to the ocean, but it's pretty quiet; we all got really good sleep during our stay. (I spent a day in another ocean-front cottage hotel, there is a very big sound of waves and winds!) The only nitpick is the reserved parking slot is little bit narrow for our mid-size SUV. So, just be careful when parking your car.
Jun 27, 2019Howard was very helpful and responsive when we needed to extend our stay in Maui on short notice. All of the necessary information regarding access to the apartment and parking, as well as contact numbers for questions and emergencies were provided as part of his initial informational communication. Extras such as beach towels, sand toys for children and so on were provided as part of the stay. The ocean front view from the apartment was great, the sound of the waves throughout the day and at night, and the nearby beach made this a great place to spend time. The location is also convenient to much of the island, from the beaches on the west coast, to the beaches on the south coast, as well as shopping for necessities in Kahului only fifteen minutes away by car. The beds were comfortable, easily accommodating three adults and a small child. The kitchen was stocked with dishware, utensils, knives, and pots and pans to make cooking for several people possible. Lastly, TV and internet service were solid and easy to use, and allowed me to deal with work when I had to extend my stay on Maui beyond my anticipated return date.
Jun 27, 2019If you are looking for stunning views, clean elegant furnishings and peaceful surroundings this is the place for you. Howard and Kathleen were easy to contact, they left a great manual on the condo. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The condo supplied us with most everything we needed for day trips when traveling around the island. The parking stalls are tight. We loved our stay in Maui!
Jun 27, 2019Perfect family accommodation. We stayed for 5 nights on a family holiday with my husbands parents & our 1 year old daughter. We couldn't have found a more perfect location. Fantastic beach front, without the busyness of Kaanapali. Perfect ocean views from the balcony & main bedroom. We even saw turtles swimming out the front most evenings. The condo was a great size for our busy toddler to roam & play. It was also so well stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen has every appliance you need. An abundance of beach towels. Even childrens beach toys & boogie boards. The toiletries that were provided were an additional nice touch. The condo has air conditioning, but it was not needed since a beautiful breeze blew up from the ocean. We hired a car so we're able to drive around to all of the popular tourist locations. If you want to leave Maalaea you really need a car, the local convienance stores don't stock much so you also need a car to drive to grocery store. The local residents were all so helpful & friendly also. We made a lot of friends while playing on the grass area and swimming in the pool. All in all a perfect family holiday. Would recommend to everyone.
Jun 27, 2019My family and I were very happy to have stayed at Howard's beautiful condo for 4 days. The ocean view was an awesome treat every morning while drinking coffee on the lanai. The place was exactly what the pictures described, and I think the space was bigger in person. I loved watching the turtles hangout and eat along the rocks off the condo. The area is quiet and private. Quality of the linens, decor, and accessories were top notch! Communication with Howard was easy & quick. He made sure to provide us with information early and often! Having AC was very nice, but the breeze from the ocean kept us cool most of the time. I would recommend having a car to get around, since places to eat are limited in Maalaea; we found ourselves going into Kihei (15-20 min drive) for dinner. For my family, Maalaea was the perfect location for our planned activities, in the middle of West & South Maui. Of the three places we stayed at, including a resort, Howard's condo was my parent's favorite!
Jun 27, 2019Our stay in Maui, at Howard's condo, was a fabulous experience. It was perfect! It has everything you need. It is In a nice quiet complex that is close to the popular spots, should you want "action." The grounds surrounding the complex were impeccably kept. The view from the lanai was spectacular! We couldn't have asked for a better place to vacation. I guarantee we will be back!!
Jun 27, 2019Howard's condo on Maui was everything and more of what we expected.the location was just what we were looking for, quite and very beautiful. The condo was very nice and was very comfortable for six of us. We had everything we would ever need, plenty of beach toys and towels, a fully equipped kitchen, just a quick walk to the beach. We really enjoyed getting up and having our coffee out on the balcony watching the sun come up. This was truly relaxing and beautiful. We will return one day and would love to be able to stay in this beautiful condo.Thank you Howard and Kathleen for sharing you wonderful piece of paradise with us.
Jun 27, 2019Howard did send me a very detailed email before my arrival to find and access the condo. I had no problem to find it thanks to his explanations. The condo is very clean with 2 spacious bedroom and 2 very clean bathrooms. The building also is very well kept with a nice swimming pool (that I haven't tried !). The view from the condo is beautiful. the condo is very well positioned to explore the island on both side, but there is not a lot of restaurants around so you need to drive 15min to go out for dinner or to the closest town. To be honnest it wasn't a problem for me at all as I was looking for a calm setting. Wifi is working very well. Howard did also help us to find a solution to keep our luggage until the evening as we had an open windows jeep so impossible to store them in the car all day. As his daugther was staying there just after us she kindly accepted to keep it. That said if you have a late plane you should ask him before how you can do as the check out is at 11am. The only thing that you might want to know is that the AC is a bit noisy on the balcony next to the bedroom with the view. Overall it was really a great experience.
Jun 27, 2019The condo was wonderful. From the astonishing views of the ocean and mountain, to the cleanliness of the entire apartment, to the comfortable beds, to the overall convenience; we had everything we needed for our stay and much more. We were a party of three and it was nice to have two bedrooms with their own bathrooms. The place is nicely decorated. There were also plenty of beach towels, which was so useful for our Road to Hana trip. There were also some very helpful guide books and materials to explore the area. The condo is in a great location, walking distance to the harbour, where we leave for snorkeling trips, as well as to convenient stores and restaurants. Howard was very easy to communicate with and very attentive; he provided all the information and details needed for a great stay. Thank you very much Howard and Kathleen, we had a wonderful time in Maui at your condo and we hope to be back!
Jun 27, 2019Unser Aufenthalt in der liebevoll eingerichteten und sehr gut ausgestatten Unterkunft ( Schnorchel, Bodyboards, Strandhandtücher, ...) von Howard war wunderschön und ließ keine Wünsche offen! Unser Gastgeber hat von Anfang an sehr viel mit uns kommuniziert und uns eine Fülle von Informationen über sein Apartment, Maui und Umgebung gegeben. Die Wohnung begeisterte uns mit ihrer Sauberkeit, landestypischen Einrichtung und dem unglaublichen Blick auf den Ozean(sehr viele Schildkröten!:-), sodass wir uns von Anfang an Zuhause gefühlt haben. Alles organisatorische war unkompliziert geregelt und zur Wohnung gehören außerdem ein Stellplatz direkt vor der Haustür, eine Möglichkeit zum Wäsche waschen und trocknen, sowie ein Pool mit direkten Blick auf den Ozean. Der Aufenthalt bei Howard hat unseren Urlaub wirklich bereichert - wir können diese Unterkunft ohne jeden Zweifel jedem weiterempfehlen und bedanken uns auch auf diesem Wege bei unserem herzlichen Gastgeber!
Jun 27, 2019Howard did a truly fantastic job before, during, and after our stay. The property is equipped with every amenity you'd need, the location is perfect, and the views are absolutely beautiful. I would recommend this listing time and time again, and I'm already looking forward to my next stay!
Jun 27, 2019Howard was extremely accommodating providing lots of information about the condo and the area. The condo was exactly as descried. We loved it and the location. It was very clean and comfortable with spectacular views. The grounds of the condo were very well maintained. Staying at Howard' s started off our trip perfectly and would highly recommend this as a great place to stay while visiting Maui. Thanks Howard for sharing it with us!
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location, easily drivable to most parts of the island. If you like being by the water, this condo is great for falling asleep with the waves crashing in the background. Also right next to the whale watching harbor. Ideal for families, seniors, or folks new to the island looking to be in a central location to explore everything. Howard also does a really good job of explaining what is available to in terms of local sites to visit. The condo is also in great shape with all the amenities you need, along with beautiful oriental antiques.
Jun 27, 2019Howard's place is exactly as described in his listing. It is a beautifully maintained property, all the amenities you could possibly want, fantastic view. Howard was so responsive in communicating with us, answering all our questions. He supplies all the extra things: snorkel gear, beach towels, cooler, sunscreen, insect repellant and the welcome box of chocolates. If you stay at Howard's place you are fortunate. It is in a great location on the coast with great restaurants nearby. As an added bonus we saw whales from our lanai every day. Thank you Howard for sharing your beautiful spot.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderul time at Howard's condo. The condo is in a quiet, low traffic neighborhood, and the view of the ocean was breathtaking: you just can't get enough of it. The lanai is a great place to sit and relax and a couple of times, we were able to spot whales! Howard is a great host and is very easy to get in touch with by email or text. He was very helpful long before our trip with information and tips of the neighborhood and island. In the condo, there are laminated sheets of all the information you need about everything, grocery stores, beaches, restaurants etc. What a great resource! The condo was very clean and tastefully decorated, and we really appreciated the box of chocolate covered macademia candy left for us. What a lovely and thoughtful gesture! The kitchen is well equipped and cleaning supplies are provided so you don't have to buy anything. There's plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, mats, a cooler, body boards, anything you can think of bringing to the beach. It's made our vacation so much more enjoyable. I can't say enough good things about Howard and his condo.
Jun 27, 2019Howard was very attentive, and he made sure we feel welcomed and comfortable. The place was as described, roomy with a good view of the ocean. The neighborhood was excellent. The beach was beautiful but quiet, as if we have our own private beach. We would come back again in the future.
Jun 27, 2019Howard's place is just as described in his Airbnb description. Walking in, we got everything we expected and more. The pictures do not do justice to the actual view itself. It is breathtaking. Everything was in great working order also. We have kids ranging from 7 months to 11 years old and all of them enjoyed themselves. One thing I didn't notice on the reviews is the fact that the pool has to be heated because it is so warm and perfect! My kids really enjoyed swimming in the evening time. I would definitely recommend staying here anytime!
Jun 27, 2019This was our first experience staying in a condo using Airbnb. We were not sure how this would turn out specially since we were taking a trip to Hawaii and did not want to feel comprised. However all the anxiety was over as soon as we signed this immaculate condo with our host Howard. Right from the begining he made us comfortable by sending helpful hints reagards eating places, beaches to see and travel and packing tips. Right till the end Howards helped us with all our questions starting from the day we signed till the end. Very gracious host and we have nothing but all praises for the treatment and help we got. The condo is very beautifully and tastetfully decorated and we felt very much at home after our long travel from east coast. Everything right from kitchen to bedroom and lanai was very well furnished and amply stocked. It was a great experience and we want to thank Howard and Kathleen for being excellent hosts and want to thank for sharing their condo or their "second home" as they call with us. We will never forget this wonderful experience and hope to come back with our family and friends in future. Again thanks for everything!!
Jun 27, 2019Howard and Kathleen are the best. If AirBnb wants to showcase, they should use Howard and Kathleen as the perfect example. First, they are excellent communicators. Everything you will need and much more is emailed upfront which is extremely helpful. Once we got to the condo, it is beautiful. Every aspect of your experience is well thought out - the new furnishings, decor, comfortable beds and all the way to the real nice soft bath towels. They also have beach towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkel equipment, beach toys for kid, mat etc for your trips to the beach. Every thing you need to do in Maui is in nicely laminated easy to follow directions pages that is very helpful. We loved their beach recommendations and one of the beaches they liked was our absolute favorite. We saw turtles swimming right outside the condo. We had the best experience. If you are going to Maui and need a two bed room place, rent Howard and Kathleen's place.
Jun 27, 2019Howard provided detailed information about all aspects of the condo and location. Very helpful. The condo was fantastic. The furnishings, artwork, bedding, and towels were all new and the condo looked great. The condo was immaculate. Everything was clean and the white tile floors were spotless. There is a beautiful patio that overlooks the ocean and Haleakala. It's a picture perfect setting. We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast there every morning and a glass of wine every night. It's the perfect place to relax. The condo also overlooks a pool. The pool was used frequently by others in the condo building. Kids used the pool but it was never too noisy and the pool emptied out by 9pm. We cooked dinner at the condo 3 nights. There is a Foodland about 10 minutes away, so it made shopping easy. Everything we needed to cook was available in the kitchen. The condo is centrally located, so it took about 30 minutes to reach the start of the road to Hana, about 30 minutes to the base of Haleakala, and about 30 minutes to Lahaina. It's about 20 minutes from the airport. The condo is about a 10 minute walk from a beautiful, secluded, quiet beach that stretches on for several miles. This place is just perfect and we are so happy we got to stay at such a nice place while we vacationed in Maui.
Jun 27, 2019We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at Maalaea 206. The condo has a picture perfect ocean front view and low key vibe ideal for Hawaii and is very comfortable and well stocked with everything you need for a beach vacation on Maui. We especially liked the location, which made exploring all parts of the Island an easy and quick drive. After being out all day, it was great to enjoy the warm pool and setting sun. The condo grounds are beautiful and immaculately maintained and the only noise you hear is the soothing sounds of the Hawaiian trade winds. It was a breeze working with Howard. He was very accommodating and made our overall stay on Maui a great experience.
Jun 27, 2019I had an amazing time staying at Howard's condo for the week. Everything was as expected and I really enjoyed our beautiful view. His recommendation cards were amazing and we found really great places to visit based on his reccomendations. I would definitely return to Howard's condo the next time that I am in Maui. Thanks Howard!
Jun 27, 2019호스트는 도착전부터 여행에 필요한 마우이 정보 및 숙소이용에 필요한 상세설명의 메일을 계속해서 보내주었습니다. 도착 몇이전 숙소에 대한 모든 물건의 사용법을 상세히 알려주었습니다. 굉장히 친절하고 상세히 알려주었습니다. 숙소의 위치 및 분위기는 매우 좋습니다. 다시 마우이 방문시 사용할 확률은 90%이상 입니다. 인테리어 소품이 여러가지 있습니다만 저희처럼 20개월의 아이와 함께 이용하기에는 오히려 매우 위험했습니다. 그리고 생각보다 모기가 많습니다. 문단속을 철저히 해야할 것 같습니다. 그리고 두개의 화장실 중 한개의 화장실 샤워기가 고장나서 씻는것이 매우 불편했습니다. 이는 반드시 고쳐야 할 사항입니다. 테이프로 감겨진것을 보아, 오래전부터 고장이 난듯한데.. 얼른 고쳐야 할 것 같습니다. 불편했던 점은 모기와 샤워기, 총 2개 입니다. 이를 제외한 나머지는 너무 좋았습니다. 즐거운 여행 되세요.
Jun 27, 2019Howard was very thoughtful to describe everything about the condo and how to access from airport, from condo to beach, restaurants. And the place was exactly like the pictures nice and clean and great view! My friends and I enjoued it very much and loved this place. We hope we can visit someday again!
Jun 27, 2019It was our family's first time in Maui, and we felt ourselves lucky to stay here during our week-long vacation. We never once had to contact the host during our stay, as everything was well explained before our trip and there was detailed instructions for everything left in the condo. Amenities in the unit (including the a/c, coffee maker, TV) worked great, the beds were comfortable, and we had a great sleep every night. The photos of the condo grounds do not do it justice! The views from the Lanai are breathtaking, and the upkeep of the grounds are truly perfection. It does get windy in this area, but it's better than the light rain that the Northern part gets, and I would welcome the wind during the hot summer months. Our itinerary was full of activities (less beach-only activities), and the central location was perfect to travel to all our excursions (Lahaina, Road to Hana, Halaekala, etc). After long days of excursions, the central location and short ride home was so beneficial for us. For our beach days, it was only 10 min to get to the nice sandy beaches in Kihei. My parents have a very particular palate, so we cooked a lot at home and put the large BBQ on the condo grounds and the rice cooker provided to good use. The unit had all the essentials we needed, and grocery stores were close by (Tip for (Website hidden by Airbnb) NOT go to the Korean grocery first. Go to Foodland first as their asian products, including rice and instant ramen, are a LOT cheaper). We had a great time, and our stay at Howard and Kathleen's condo really helped make our stay enjoyable.
Jun 27, 2019We had a FANTASTIC time at Howard's place! The location is great, not too touristy, but very convenient. The balcony and bedroom overlook the ocean, and we could hear the waves all night with the window open. There's a pool, lawn, and BBQ at the facility too. The condo was completely clean, has all of the kitchen amenities you need (I recommend a run to Costco when you land), and he also provided TONS of resources for us. He gave restaurant recommendations, activities, directions, and even laminated info cards on the island. I highly recommend using Pacific Whale Foundation for all of your snorkeling and whale watching activities. They provide a great experience, and are around the corner (5 mins walking) from Howard's place. He is a very forthcoming host, and not only was the communication above and beyond, accessing the place was really easy too. My group of 4 adults (2 couples) really enjoyed our stay, and Howard is one of the best hosts I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with on AirBNB. Howard and his condo are highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Clean condo, looks just like the beautiful pictures. Everything worked no surprises. So happy with the accommodations for the beach, chairs umbrella cooler boogie boards. If ever we get the chance to go back this is definitely the place we will check on first. Walkable close to go on excursions.
Jul 27, 2019Howard's condo is in a great location. Being situated between Lahaina, Kihei and Costco makes it quick and easy to go wherever you want for your daily adventures. As for the amenities, we had breakfast and dinner at our condo using all of the great cooking appliances, tools, and BBQ. The Lanai is perfectly situated looking out at the ocean, gardens, and pool. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend this AirBnB.
Jun 27, 2019The condo was very peaceful and relaxing. The area didn't have many people so it wasn't too loud or crowded. The people who were there were kind and friendly and makes you feel welcomed. The pool was never really crowded so it was easy to swim peacefully. and the view of the ocean was beautiful. It was nice sleeping to the sound of the ocean waves. overall it was a great experience and I would come back again.
Jun 27, 2019The condo is right next to the shore and very close to the beach. The beach is clean and long. Good for playing, walking, swimming and other activities. You can even see turtles. Howard's information by email and his website and cards when you reach house helped us a lot to plan the vacation. The house has everything you would need to enjoy your vacation. Howard has taken care of equipping the kitchen with all the utensils and appliances. We were surprised to find boards, snorkeling equipment, beach seats and lot of towels. We will definitely come back to this condo when we come back to Maui.
Jun 27, 2019This spot is perfect for your Maui vacation. The location could not be better. We were minutes from the airport and from the popular Lahaina beach! The view from the back patio was spectacular and we had everything we need to be comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot and will stay here again on our next trip to Maui!
Jun 27, 2019Howard was very friendly and helpful! He provided us with a lot of information on different things to do around the island and made our stay very comfortable. The condo was very clean and our view was spectacular! We saw many sea turtles along the beach which was fun! There were instructions given before our trip and for everything in the condo so there was no need to contact Howard at all during our stay. He was a great host and i would recommend his condo to anyone! Thanks Howard!
Jun 27, 2019This is an amazing apartment in a great location! There are a few things that make for this 5-star review: 1. Communication - we received a lot of great information about the apartment as well as about amenities in the building, in the area and Maui in general. Everything was very clear and much appreciated! 2. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable and clean. As they say, the devil is in the details and Howard and Kathleen have thought of everything that you may possibly need to know about their property that will make for a pleasant stay including: - where to go shopping (Costco by the airport!), - recommendations for restaurants and places to visit (they have a whole stack of laminated cards with every possible bit of info you may want/need to know about Maui, as well as several books - all very helpful since this was our first visit!). - plenty of beach towels, as well as beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys, etc! - toiletries - we came prepared since we were not expecting (Website hidden by Airbnb) thoughtful! 3. We just loved Ma'alaea (sp?) - super centrally located in the island, quiet but close to "busyness" if that's what you're after. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again! Wonderful experience all around!
Jun 27, 2019Howard and his condo get a solid 5 stars from my family! We are so happy with our decision to stay at his condo versus a hotel. Cleanliness was of utmost important to us and the condo exceeded our expectations! Nothing was old, dingy, or smelly. Everything was clean, beautiful, and tactfully decorated. You can tell that Howard has gone the extra-mile to make his guests feel at home. The kitchen is well equipped with Cuisinart pots/pans, appliances, indoor and outdoor dishware/glassware etc. The beds, linens, and towels were all very clean and comfortable. He has laminated directions/maps to places of interest, restaurants, etc. which makes it easy when exploring Maui. He also provides beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, sand toys, snorkeling gear, pool toys, etc. so no need to worry about those things. Communication with Howard was easy. He was prompt with his replies and provided detailed information to all our questions. The condo is centrally located so it’s a 20-30 minute drive to most destinations, including the airport and Costco. There is a designated parking spot so there’s no need to hunt around for parking. It is a bit tight though, but a mid-size four door car will fit fine. The condo itself is located on a beautiful and peaceful property that was well-maintained and clean. We started our day with breakfast on the lanai every morning. In the evening, we enjoyed lounging on the lawn chairs while watching the waves and sea turtles. At night, the stars are plentiful. There is also a heated pool that the kids loved. It was never crowded. We sincerely enjoyed our stay here and if we’re lucky enough to visit again, we will definitely rent from Howard again. If you’re visiting Maui and looking for a clean, peaceful place with a gorgeous view, this condo is highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019location of the condo very idea. airport was not far. we went to lahaina and kihei easily. instructions were very clear. condo was very well kept. would stay at howard's place again next time.
Jun 27, 2019The apartment is excellent for a family of up to six . We had great time in the condo!Clean and quite , we had everything we needed , great location + I fully agree with all the other reviews ! Don't miss the closed by Ocean center - interesting for the all family . This will be our place for our next visit to Maui ! Thanks Howard
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful view, convenient location, very well maintained and cared for property, and a HEATED pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others. There really were no surprises or disappointments. Maalaea is kind of between the typical tourist spots on Maui so expect to do a bit of driving but we didn't find that to be a burden.
Jun 27, 2019Our stay at Howard’s Wailuku condo was fantastic. Great location so you are easily accessible to all parts of the island. The space is spacious and well kept. Perfect. For our family of 5. You will not be disappointed if you stay at this condo!
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location, beautiful condo, wonderful service. Thanks so much!
Jun 27, 2019Howard is a fantastic host. He has a beautiful, clean condo with a priceless view. The decor was lovely, accented with beautiful art, the kitchen was fully equipped. What really makes Howard stand out as a host, however, is the wealth of information he put at our disposal about the area we were visiting, both before we arrived and in the unit, everything from where to shop to places to eat to detailed information on many local beaches, as well as directions/maps to any of these places. We really enjoyed our stay at Howard's place.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful Christmas stay in Maui. The condo was perfect for our trip and the location to the harbor was amazing. We did whale watching and snorkeling trips, all which departed only 1 minute walk from the Condo. And we saw turtles from our balcony every day of our stay. Loved the General Store at the Harbor, great food, even gluten free options. We enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thank you Howard.
Jun 27, 2019Really love this Airbnb!! Really nice view of the ocean. Close to the airport and the mall. Would totally recommend to other travelers!!!
Jun 27, 2019Space is fabulous! Great natural light, lots of windows, easy laundry use, we saw whales flipping and flopping all day every day. The condo overlooks the pool and the ocean but we had no noise issues with the pool! The condo is walking distance to the harbor for excursions and shopping, we loved the Maui Ocean Center, the Deli nearby has GREAT kombucha and tacos and my kids loved the red hot dogs. I would avoid BeachBums, the service was horrific! Oh and take a walk to the right of the condo and near the hidden beach, you'll see tons of surfing and chilling turtles. All and all, we would totally visit again. Space is great, the amenities are thoughtful and useful and we really appreciated Howard's tips.
Jun 27, 2019靠近浮潜观鲸出海码头,步行5分钟。完美的度假体验,有游泳池。房东热情详细的给予游玩建议,非常热情。
Jun 27, 2019Great central location for driving anyway on Maui. Quiet condo complex. Easy, convenient parking. Can walk to a couple of good and fun restaurants. Good floor plan for 2 couples.
Jun 27, 2019Great place, great location, great host ! Highly recommended, you will enjoy your stay
Jun 27, 2019The condo unit is as advertised. Very well appointed from condiments to beach equipment. Very nice quiet setting over looking the pool and ocean. Grounds very well kept. Enjoyed the lack of tourist noise and is very close to everything you want to go see. Separate master baths is a big plus for two couples traveling.
Jun 27, 2019A delightful place to stay that is clean, great accommodations with many amenities specifically needed for beach & sun enjoyment, centrally located on beautiful grounds, and easily accessible. Hosts are wonderful at communications both pre- and post visit. Had a GREAT trip and highly recommend staying at this condo.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful condo. Great ammenities. Lovely views of the bay n mountains. A bit away from shops but as most people hire a vehicle in Maui, the location adds to an advantage if you can plan a little. I would love to stay again. Great.
Jun 27, 2019깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 두 가족이 묶기에 아주 적합했고 위치도 좋았습니다. 주차공간에 다른 차가 주차되어 있어서 호스트에게 전화했으나 받지않았고 메시지 확인도 하지않아 답답했습니다.
Jun 27, 2019Howard's place was the perfect place for exploring Maui. My friends and I were there for a wedding in Olowalu. We got there a few days early to explore Haleakala and some of the nearby beaches. The condo is perfectly located because it was so close to the highways and central in terms of which direction you want to go. His place had coffee maker, beach towels and toys and a communal grill. There was also a nice outdoor area where we grilled and ate and had a few drinks while taking in the views of Haleakala. We couldn't have asked for a better stay.
Jun 27, 2019Howard’s unit was very well kept up and clean, newer furniture, lots of pool and beach toys/accessories. Only downside is that the whole complex is older so noise between units, mainly through the windows, is not buffered very well. Also the AC unit is pretty loud, not an issue if you can sleep with ear plugs. Great location near the nicest beaches on Maui! Not a crowded or noisy area.
Jun 27, 2019Sehr zu empfehlen, toller privater Pool der Anlage, sehr gut ausgestattetes Appartment (inkl. umfassenden Strandequipement, gute Verkehrsanbindung und die Insel-Hotspots sind in 15 Min erreichbar, Maui Aquarium und Hafen in Gehdistanz)
Jun 27, 2019I highly recommend staying at Howards place. Waking up in the mornings was one of the best highlights of the day. The view is spectacular, peaceful and quiet. The perfect location in Maui. If you’re looking for peace, happiness and harmony this is the place. Aloha Alfonso Michelle Maylynn
Jun 27, 2019We travel a lot internationally plus use AirBnB most of the time, Howard’s place was the closest we have ever experienced as being a home away from home. We loved the 2 bathrooms and open spaces. The beach down the street was great and having a full kitchen with everything in it was a blessing. We can’t wait to go back!!! 5 stars all the way!!!!
Jun 27, 2019This is such an impressive place - well appointed, beautiful views, protected from the elements and a real home away from home. It had everything we needed when a hurricane warning came into effect. So instead of beaches and eating out, we relaxed in the condo, swam in the pool, watched the turtles playing in the sea, and ate on the lanai every evening. Great facilities and lots of well put together information to find everything we needed to stock up for the week. A jewel - and if you have to limit your activity in a storm warning I can't think of a better place. Had a marvellous stay. Would definitely go back. And how Iovely to get a call from the owner Howard, concerned for our safety - that was special.
Jun 27, 2019The accommodations were as listed .....clean, well appointed and nice decor. The grounds were very well kept and the view was fantastic. We enjoyed sitting in the lawn chairs at the water edge watching green turtles playing in the surf. Although we encountered an issue with a water leak from the A/C unit as soon as we contacted the property manager a technician was sent over to fix it. The attentiveness of Howard and his agents helped ensure that we had a great time. My advice is if it’s available BOOK IT Mahalo
Jun 27, 2019Great location with beautiful view. Howard is a good host and great communicator. Easy to work with. Condo is perfect for four people.
Jun 27, 2019Lovely home, suitable for our family with 2 small children. Great location, with an exceptional view. The pool is very nice and there is a small cove where you can play on the beach without a strong current. There were giant sea turtles along the wall you could watch for hours. The extra touches were extremely thoughtful - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, snacks and lots of helpful maps and information. The building manager helped with baby equipment rentals and had the equipment set up by the time we arrived. It couldn’t have been a more perfect stay!
Jun 27, 2019Our first time ever to Hawaii and Howard made it easy with his quick responses with all our questions throughout the whole process. We had a few minor issues mid week but they were dealt with promptly. The pictures of the grounds/area do not do it justice... seeing is believing! Would highly recommend Seascape Bar&Grill in Maalaea Village... great food and friendly attentive staff
Jun 27, 2019Location, awesome views and a home away from home. This house is sparkling clean and has all necessary amenities. The description for this house is accurate. Stay here definitely exceeded our expectations. The house right next to the ocean with accessible beach. Howard is a great host, best in communication and responding quickly. He kept the communication on since we booked with detailed information. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place.
Jun 27, 2019The condo is spectacular in many ways, with one of the nicest pools and lawns in the area. And the views of the coastline and Haleakala were breathtaking. Howard's communications about the unit and overall facility were wonderfully helpful and thorough. One member of our group had mobility issues and the conveniently nearby elevator was critical for us to be able to choose the preferred second-floor location. We very much enjoyed our week there (and we never did feel the need to turn on the AC). A few downsides: The kitchen was fairly well supplied but the location of items was somewhat disorganized for real cooking and serving and some of the equipment wasn’t found as clean as I’d like (I’m pretty fussy). The condo decor is attractive but included some big decorative bowls and urns that were in the way and a breakage worry. We were four adults and the condo was a comfortable space for us except for eating together, which was a bit tight - the inside tabletop is small). The closets are packed with beach equipment that we made good use of and appreciated having on hand, despite the fact that it didn’t leave much usable closet space in one of the bedrooms.
Jun 27, 2019Howard is the best AirBNB Host we have ever had. He was very fast to respond to all messages, including a request for early check-in that was sent to him last-minute. The apartment was spotless and well-equipped. The view is beautiful, and you can see whales at this time of year. The WiFi is good and the AC works well. There are also sea turtles that nap behind the apartment on the shore. I could not recommend staying here more.
Jun 27, 2019バルコニーからクジラも見れるいい環境でした!
Jun 27, 2019Great place in the best location!
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay. The location is very convenient. One minute walk to aquarium. Two minutes walk to the whale watch stores, which makes morning whale watching very easy. We spent our first day on West, the second day whale watching and surfing, third day travel the east side. The apartment is in the middle south, making our travel to each side very efficient. The view from the balcony is wonderful, as shown in the picture. Comfortable beds!
