Maui Paradise - Excellent beach front and condo
Dia Lo So. California.
Date Submitted: June 23, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My family just returned from a wonderful Maui vacation! We are usually worried about booking a condo sight unseen but this condo is beautifully decorated, has all of the supplies you could ever need, comfortable (even the sofa bed), relaxing and affordable. Just steps from the beach and minutes from Kannapali and Lahania with a gift basket waiting upon our arrival and fresh mangos as an additional gift from the owners who made us welcome from the minute we arrived. Don't forget to eat at Lalani's for a great dinner, take a helicopter ride on Blue Hawaii, eat on your balcony watching the sunset and the waves. My daughter and her friends went wind surfing with Action Sports and they were great (private lessons for public lesson prices)! Also, CJ's (the Comfort Zone) on your way to Kannapali is great for an expensive breakfast, lunch or dinner and they make terrific picnic lunches to take with you anywhere. The road to Hana trip was outstanding with beautiful views, breakfast and lunch included but be prepared for a full day (6:00 am to 6:30 pm). This was my family's forth trip to Maui and by far the best due to the wonderful surroundings and condo where we stayed!

This property was exactly as presented. The location was fantastic. It was well appointed and the amentities were more than expected. The owners were wonderful and they even provided a gift basket upon arrival. It was extremely clean (and I am quite picky).The view was everything and more than you could want. The pool is pristine and it is truely wonderful to listen to the pounding of the waves on the shore right from your lanai.We came to relax but did venture to Lahaina where parking was easy to find and had all the shopping and restaurants you could want. The snorkeling in the ocean right at the complex was filled with wildlife. My husband found snorkeling right down the road near the Sheraton was great. You will really enjoy staying here. It is truely a great place!

We really enjoyed or stay. This condo was as super clean with all of the comforts of home.
Ocean front ....awesome view from the lanai.The beach is literally steps away from the building and the sunsets from the lanai were awesome.
Fully furnished including washer dryer. Very comfortable bed ( which we have found is not usually the case!) and other furniture. Quiet building and conveiniet to Kapalua , Kaanapali and Lahina.
I highly reccomend this condo!

Our stay in unit 138697 was excellent. The location having ocean front view was wonderful. We whale watched every morning from our lanai. The unit was beautifully decorated and provided all necessary ammenities. We plan to try to rent this unit on future Maui vacations. We highly recommed this property to anyone visiting Maui.

A very enjoyable stay.
This is a sparkling clean unit (as promised by owners Arthur and Anita) chock full of personal touches such as a welcome basket, binoculars, boogie boards, beach chairs, clean linen etc. and lots of tourist reading. A vital copy of Maui Revealed awaits the adventure seekers. The owners deliver what they promise.
Our meals on the lanai overlooking the beach were priceless. We listened for the conch blowers at sundown.
Our two boys loved the pool and child safe beach with clean sand and enough washed up coral to "keep it real". Snorkeling and turtles were right out front. The BBQ area was a friendly way to meet people and the grounds are neatly trimmed. World famous beaches such as Honolua and Kapalua are just minutes away. Decent beginner snorkeling could be found right out front. Snorkel rentals, restaurants and shops are just across the street.
Our kids used the bedroom and we used the surprisingly comfortable hide a bed by the lanai with the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep.
We met a number of great people similar interests, using this property as a terrific home base for exploration of this part of the island.
This unit is a gem!

We couldn't believe it when we saw this condo. It has an unobstructed view of Cruise Ships going by, whales, turtles and beautiful sunsets. Our family of 11 was staying at Valley Isle in 3 different units and ours was the cleanest and most beautifully furnished. We all chose to meet in ours every evening for dinner as we were fully equiped to cook and serve simple Hawaiian type food and much better than going out after the many activities during the day. Our first week was spent in Kihei and this is a cooler, fresher area. We were provided with brochures that were on our coffee table at home three months in advance of arriving on Maui. If you choose this unit you only need to bring a few things to wear as it has it all. It is the best.

Owners Response: Kahana, where our condo is located, is in West Maui where the temperature is cooler and also has several of America's Best Beaches and great snorkeling places nearby. Our primary objective, as owners, is to make our guests enjoy the comfort of our condo as their home away from home.
Excellent experience!

The condo is great. It looks much better in person than in the pictures, the view outside of the balcony is breathtaking!
The owners were the nicest people we ever met. The kept the place spotless and prepared maps, tours books, boogie boards, umbrella, and a lot of other goodies for their guests.
I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone I know!

We had an excellent experience. The condo was exactly as described in the website. It was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was well organized. The owners were very helpful at the time of booking. They sent us some brochures which were very helpful in deciding on activities.
There were some extra touches that we really appreciated. The owner left us a "gift basket" of some local products which was unexpected and very nice. There were several items in the unit which we found nice to have while on our trip. There were lunch coolers, boogie boards, masks and water flotation devices. All these little extras added to our fun.
There was a take-out place (Ozuka deli?) about a mile down (toward Lahaina) which had excellent food and was cheap. We used the blender in the unit to whip up many pina coladas!
Snorkeling was great, we rented gear for a week and went just about every day. Bring an underwater camera! Overall, this was a great place to stay.
