Beautiful Remodel Lahaina Oceanfront 2bed Walk to Town, Beach, Swim With Turtle

Spectacular View…

5 / 5 Excellent

This property has gorgeous views from the lanai and the sunsets are amazing! We saw sea turtles swimming every day, a pod of dolphins swimming by and blows from some early whale visitors! The condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There are a few restaurants nearby that we were able to walk to and "downtown" Lahaina is just a quick drive. Baby Beach, which is great for small children, is also nearby. We had a great stay and my husband and son were able to do work/school from the condo with no internet issues and plenty of room to work. Thanks for a great visit!…This property has gorgeous views from the lanai and the sunsets are amazing!

Welcome Back & Celebrate Maui - Stay 3 Nights and the 4th Night's Free - Now Through Dec 15

Great Location within Walking Distance to Front Street!…

5 / 5 Excellent

If you're looking for luxury, this is probably not the right choice for you. But if you're looking for a decent place to sleep, at a reasonable price, in a great location, then this is it! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Maui and loved that this unit was within walking distance to countless restaurants and shops, as well as the ocean. Lahaina is full of places to explore! The unit was comfortable and mostly met our needs. It has A/C, but it is not central A/C. It is a total of 3 wall units (1 in each bedroom and one in the living room), and each is on its own 4-hour timer. Being from Florida and unable to live, much less sleep, without air conditioning, that meant that every night of sleep was interrupted by waking up hot and having to restart the timers on the A/C units. I wish I had known that ahead of time, as we were pretty exhausted by the end of our stay not having had a full nights sleep the entire time. The complex is older, as is most of Lahaina, but the unit is updated. The furniture is a little worn, but I guess that's to be expected in a vacation rental. Like I said, not luxury, but a clean place to sleep in-between your island adventures. It's not really somewhere you want to hang out as a group. We were two adult couples traveling, and there was really only comfortable seating for 3 in the living room and around the small kitchen table. So had we decided to play a game of cards or watch a movie together, there wouldn't have really been space to do that without sitting on the floor. The photos for this listing are very well done and make the space look larger than it is. I wish I had known all of these details prior to booking, but overall a great vacation. If we return to Maui, however, we would probably choose something a little larger that better meets our needs.…If you're looking for luxury, this is probably not the right choice for you.
