Magnificent stay in Maui

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful condominium. The furniture was exquisite and very Hawaiian! Perfect location with a 270 degree view beyond words from the penthouse. The air conditioner worked great, the terrace was large, comfortable seating, wonderful artwork, great heated pool, nice lobby area and a fabulous new kitchen. Absolutely gorgeous, can’t wait to come back! All around 100%

A slice of paradise with breath-taking panoramic view

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning penthouse rental in Lahaina, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the unit, I was captivated by its beauty. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the panoramic view that greeted me upon arrival. The moment I stepped onto the private balcony, I was greeted by an awe-inspiring vista of the sparkling turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean. The sight of the sun setting over the horizon was nothing short of magical. It was as if time stood still, and I found myself completely mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty that unfolded before my eyes. The interior of the penthouse was good. The attention to detail and the tasteful decor created a Hawaiian Vibe. The living area was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with plush seating that allowed me to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the island. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, making it a joy to prepare meals while enjoying the spectacular view. The location of this penthouse is ideal. Easy access to restaurant and shops. I also took advantage of the beach, write out side the building for a morning swim.

We thoroughly enjoy our time in Maui and the condo we chose. Sitting on the patio at the end of the day with a cocktail and watching the surfers and the whales was just perfect. We had to call Peter for a minor issue and he had it done very quickly. Would recommend this condo for your stay.

We had a wonderful time. The view is a once ina lifetime experience. We saw turtles, a shark and countless whales from the window. We also had a front row seat to over a dozen rainbows. The kitchen was well stocked and you can’t beat the location. The place overall is a bit dated but we knew that going into it reading reviews and picking it for the view and Hawaiian decor.

Peter’s Kaanapali condo

We enjoyed the condo even though some parts of place were outdated. There was not much room in the master bedroom closet to hang clothes. We had to call the owner then ask at the front desk for maintenance one day to fix the front door lock. We appreciated the air conditioning, the beds were comfortable and the view was fantastic.

1st Maui Visit

Wow wow wow the views from this unit could not have been better even if you stayed at a 5 star resort. You had multiple amazing window views. The unit was amazing, but could have used some renovations. It is an amazing unit in a great location and right where you would want to be. Only downside (if there was one) is it was dated and could have used a renovation in furniture. If you can look past that, definitely a must rent unit. Communications were ok, but could have been faster response times

Shhhhhh Don't tell others!

We stayed at this rental for a week recently and had a fantastic time. The condo had everything we needed and the views were spectacular. We saw whales from our balcony most days. (granted it was whale season) The rental had everything we needed for excursions, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. Location was ideal. Grocery store was right across the street and many great restaurants within walking distance. It is located a short ride away from Lahaina which was also idea. Great to hear the waves crashing each night from the balcony. Pool and hot tub are great. The beach directly in front of Mahana is rocky but a short walk toward the whaling village led to nice soft beach without rocks. All in all we loved it and would stay here again, but please don't tell your friends because we hope it is still available when we want to rent this place again.

Beautiful view, problematic condo

Great location and view. There were boogie boards and beach chairs which was great. Cabinets and drawers are falling apart. One drawer was completely broken. Appliances fine. Only 3 teaspoons. Inadequate supply of paper towels, facial tissue and TP. No bar soap, no soap, shampoo or conditioner for the showers. Hand lotion, notepad and pen would have been nice, too. Also ran out of laundry detergent.

Great view! Unit was totally misrepresented and in deplorable condition compared to its ad.

This unit is in run down and outdated condition. The owner claims of renovations and new items are false. This unit should not be allowed in your website as advertised. The kitchen is run down with cabinet doors coming apart and drawers that could fall on your feet. We stayed because it was habitable but not anything we would ever stay in if we had a choice after prepaying everything. VRBO HOMEAWAY and the owner should be embarrassed. All parties are guilty of misrepresentation.

ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stayed in Mahana 1219 and it was fabulous. New curtains, fresh towels, 110% clean condo. The linens Also, were immaculate. Where can you find such home style comfort? The new decor decor was outstanding, I enjoyed the new dishwasher, the great new bed. The view is simply to die for, a 325 degree view. Cleanliness gets a 5 Star. The sleeper sofa is extremely comfortable. It is about a 7 inch mattress on a new beautifully patterned sofa. Hawaiian decor is very unique. The condominium is large and so, so comfortable. What's not to like? The owner was very easy to talk to and he was very honest. Check in and check out was a breeze. Free Parking at all times. The beds were very, very comfortable. Every day there was an extraordinary VIEW to greet me. No one above you. The weather was excellent We watched everyday and schools of porpoises as well as ocean liners. Come and enjoy yourself.

Amazing views!

We stayed in Peter's condo for 5 days in March 2015 with our two kids, ages 11 and 13. The views from the condo are just incredible - you feel like you are in the middle of the ocean! We saw whales every day, along with lots of dolphins, windsurfers, and sea birds. We loved having breakfast out on the deck and listening to the ocean at night, and the several pairs of binoculars at the condo were much appreciated for whale watching! The furniture is all nice (the master bed is beautiful) and the condo is very clean. There are more kitchen appliances than we could possibly use, and the dishes and cookware are plentiful and in excellent condition. The kids loved having their own bedroom to hang out in (with two twin beds so each had their own space) and the condo is spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The central air conditioning worked very well, as did the washer and dryer. The location is amazing -- very close to shopping and restaurants but the beach is not crowded at all. Our stay was idyllic and Peter was really easy to work with, and even called us to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much, Peter!
