Amazing stay! Location was super walkable and the beach right next to the condo is gorgeous. We loved listening to the waves every night. Little less privacy than expected since the bedroom ceiling opens up to the main room/loft area - but this didn’t matter at all to us. Would absolutely stay here again.
We absolutely loved our stay! The views are spectacular, and the location is very central and convenient! The beach right in front of the condo is small but a short walk to a larger beach practically next door. There were beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler available for use and we had everything we needed! It is on the third floor and I don’t think there’s an elevator so it’s a bit of a hike with luggage but well worth it!
This townhome exceeded our expectations. The view was mesmerizing! The home had everything we needed and more. The host was very accommodating and responsive. The location was close to the Maui Ocean Center, the harbor where we boarded our snorkeling adventure and not too far from the airport, Road to Hana and Haleakalā Mountain! My only minor observations: there a few homeless people on the near by public beach, the outside of the townhouse complex is outdated, and the bedding needs more care and cleaning.
Best sandy beach for swimming. Always calm water. Very private, long stretch of preserve beach for walking. A small reef off shore guarantees seeing fish and turtles when snorkeling. Condo has an amazing view! Ideal location
The condo was modern and well appointed with the most amazing view from the balcony. Why pay for whale watching when you have an amazing front row seat. Easy to get to lots of different activities or just spend time at the beautiful beach only steps away. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.
This place has an awesome view. We were able to capture multiple whales jumping right off our balcony. Convenient to restaurants and the aquarium. Highly recommended.
We found this gem of a condo in a nice central location for exploring around the island. The condo is down the street from the Maalaea Harbor area. C3 is located on the 3rd floor with laundry facilities across the hall. We can't say enough about the unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean. We stayed the end of September with great weather to enjoy the beach. A fun surprise was the viewing of sea turtles from the beach. Loved all the beach supplies that was available to use (beach chairs, cooler, body boards, noodles, etc.) The facilities outdoor shower was adequate but could be improved upon. The kitchen was well stocked with kitchen utensils. The bedrooms both had king beds with attached bathrooms. We would highly recommend this condo.
Amenities were great. Loved hearing sound of waves. Very quiet (no noisy neighbors). Laundry was close, which was nice. Daughter loved the loft. Air conditioning worked great. Beach supplies were a plus.
Everything you need in a stay and the view was awesome. Don't believe the reviews regarding visibility from upstairs bedroom into lower. We knew it was more of a modern open air place. Noise will travel up/down... so if someone is making a lot of noise... snoring ;-) you may not like it. We knew that going in so no problem. Free parking, rice maker, coffee grinder, fully equipped kitchen. We'd stay here again.
Great central location in Maui. Wonderful private little beach that is away from crowds. Lots of turtle watching, occasional surf waves too. Lovely spot.
the location was great, I really enjoyed watching whales from the porch!! Loved AC unit on upstairs!!

Excellent amenities/location/interiors for the price
We stayed here for 4 nights and had very comfortable stay. Its right on the beach and we could see whales from the patio in Feb first week ... The interiors are upgraded and very comfortable, though keep in mind the rooms lack privacy since they are open.
The beach was absolutely great! we saw many turtles and the beach was never crowded. We loved it. Falling asleep every night to the waves which were less than 100 ft away!
