The condo includes a large, private lanai, cable TV, DVD, CD/MP3 player, and private phone. The living room furnishings include queen-size sofa bed, and a comfortable desk to set up your laptop and stay in touch with home using the free high-speed wireless Internet connection. The condo will be cleaned prior to your arrival and all bed and bath linens are provided. With the unbeatable view, you may choose to enjoy your morning coffee on the lanai, mix up a tropical drink and watch the sunset, or prepare a special romantic dinner.

Due to rising tides, we have had to sandbag our beach area to protect the building. During limited times of the year, depending on currents, our beach may vary in size. Even when our beach is not at its best, you can explore the many other beautiful beaches on Maui and come back to enjoy the spectacular oceanfront views and sunsets from our lanai, and have the waves lull you to sleep at night. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Lift - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Heated pool - Kayak - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 592 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21730000/21726100/21726022/dbd96d79.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean, Ocean, Ocean!

The studio was the perfect size for 2 people and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and addressed our concerns promptly. Location was also great-close to beaches, snorkelling and hiking. Can’t wait to go back! ##### dm b.

One, the very tiny bugs, my husband did not particularly enjoy these guys bit we were warned. There is a pool area if you want to escape the sun on the beach, however I call this area The Voetex. It is very windy and not enjoyable for me. There was a little matter i wanted to discuss and I tried calling the property manager but wasn't able to dial out for some reseon. Definitely user error but the owner was communicative via email. Good location! A perfect home away from home. ##### Nikki T. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy B. 27 Jan 2019 #### The condo was as advertised. Very comfortable, especially the murphy bed. Loved the balcony & view Had a great time. The condo was very nice. The murphy bed was very comfortable. We cooked breakfast in every morning and ate on the balcony, now that's paradise. The next to the last morning we were there, saw one of the most amazing whale breaching performances that you'll ever see. At least two adult males, one was HUGE, and one younger whale starting breaching. The 2 adults breached over a dozen times (we lost count) and the younger one at least a half dozen times. Absolutely incredible. We also grilled some supper meals. The resort has 3 super nice Weber gas grills available for use by the pool, which are totally cleaned every day. The parking was free, not the case at a lot of the other resorts. Got to meet Jim and Sue, the condo owners, super nice!! Very nice pool area. Had a really great time in Maui, but that starts with where you stay, and this place was wonderful. ##### Nancy B. Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah S. 23 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Stay We stayed 7 nights at this property. We loved every second of being here. The views from the balcony were incredible. We chose to eat many meals out here, as the full kitchen provided a great space to cook up fresh food from the local farmers markets. The bed was surprisingly comfortable & the sounds of the ocean along with the fresh breeze created a luxury sleeping environment. The bathroom was very nice, separate toilet/tub from sink was nice for 2 people getting ready. Many provided amenities (coffee pot, iron, toaster, etc.), all in great condition. Only thing to note is that there is no a/c. It did get slightly warm in the evenings when the sun was hitting the balcony. We found it to be helpful keeping the sliding door open all day, having the ceiling fans on & keeping the blinds on either side of the door closed at all time. The condo is a very short drive to Lahaina where there are many shops/ restaurants. There is not a ton within a short walking distance but we did enjoy the beach bar at the condos next door as well as the coffee shop in the strip mall across the street. Overall a great stay, would recommend for couples (2 people max. fit in this space)! ##### Sarah S.

Mattress and Sofa/bed dilapidated It’s with a heavy heart I’m writing this review. The owner Jim informed me his wife Sue had recently pass away. Prayers for her, Jim and their family. I don’t like to write negative reviews but my fellow travelers deserve honest and accurate information on where to stay and the conditions they are getting. This condo in its present condition is unlivable. My teenage son and I spent 9 nights at Jim's Condo for the Christmas holiday. We were unable to sleep on the mattress or the sofa. Both are extremely old and dilapidated. After not being able to sleep, I inspected the mattress. It's completely collapsed and has a piece of foam on top of it to keep you from feeling the springs. I sent photos and an email to the owner Jim who lives in Minnesota. He sent his friend Tom of 20 years over (he lives in the same condo complex) to assess the mattress. Tom took pictures, measurements and agreed the mattress was collapsed and needed to be replaced. I never heard anything else from Tom or Jim. We spent 9 nights at this condo. Knowing his recent loss, I sent another email to Jim the day before we left to update him on other items that needed to be addressed. The toilet was running all the time and shower faucet handle was loose. Jim said he and Tom were going to do research for the mattress replacement. \* Sleeping on the floor was uncomfortable and the old carpet has waves in it like the ocean. \* The sofa sleeper has to be over 30+ years old and in worse condition than the mattress. You can feel the sofa sleeper springs through the dilapidated cushions. Behind the sofa is a piece of plywood that fits under the sofa cushions so you don't feel the springs. This condo does overlook the ocean- Please note there is no beach at the waters edge on this property. They have huge sandbags piled up at least 8 to10 feet high. The crashing of waves at night up against these sand bags sounds like thunder in a bad storm. Just don’t expect the sounds of waves to lull you to sleep. \*I have pictures but this review did not allow me to attach them. \*\*\* We paid Premium Christmas pricing and was not even able to sleep in the bed or use the sofa due to owner neglect. Owner offered no assistance. ##### Kevin D.

Location was perfect, 5-10 mins away from most popular location in Maui. I would highly recommend staying here. ##### Nishant P.

Our first time visiting Maui and first time using VRBO. All I can say is WOW!! Everything was easy from registration to excellent communication w/ Jim & Sue. Just amazing!! Condo #307 was WOW! Super clean (I didn't have any communication w/ Shaka Cleaning but they did an EXCELLENT JOB..coming from a germaphobe) everything was clean, tidy, and in their proper place. The views from the room was SUPERB and just MAGNIFICENT!! You usually pay an arm and a leg for such AMAZING views. The best part was hearing the waves at night and waking up with the ocean view. It was WONDERFUL!! Thank you Jim, Sue, and Shaka Cleaning for a wonderful stay!! You made our stay simply MARVELOUS! ##### M Christina B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ---
