Maui Perfection
Second time staying at this property but first time at this particular unit. Loved it! The location is super convenient with on site covered parking and many restaurants within walking distance. It is also a short walk to the Lahaina Harbor where many excursions depart from. The ocean views of this unit cannot be beat. The sixth floor provides beautiful views from above, in addition to gorgeous views down by the pool and spa area. You are so close to the water! Inside the unit looks exactly as pictured- very well stocked and comfortable. My only small complaint is the door is very hard to push open and needs to be slammed closed to close all the way. Not a big deal but maybe something can be adjusted to fix it.

That View 😍
We had a wonderful time at this resort! The view is breathtaking. Elaine was very easy to get in touch with and this resort is within walking distance of so many attractions in downtown Lahaina. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view
Gorgeous view, very nice pool and hot tub, comfortable bed and beautiful balcony. Kitchen equipment was minimal with some glaring omissions. No cutting board, no broom or dust buster, barely working ice machine and tea kettle with broken handle that made pouring boiling tea water dangerous. The unit has dated cupboards and bathroom fixtures which were ok but the cleanliness of the unit could have been better. I bought cleaning product to clean mirrors in kitchen and refrigerator doors and sides which were in less than clean condition since there wasn’t any in the cupboard. It would have been nice to have that in the cupboard to keep the bathroom clean during our stay. We enjoyed our time and especially the balcony but felt those were things that could have been better.

Beautiful view, ocean sounds
We loved our stay - ultimately we toured and stayed all over Maui and agreed if we were to visit again, we would be very happy to stay in this Lahaina condo for the whole trip next time. The condo is well used for sure, and the building is aging, but it’s bright and airy and the location just can’t be beat. The condo was very clean, super easy check in and having parking turned out to be a way bigger deal than I’d anticipated. Easy walk into Lahaina’s shops and restaurants, though groceries were a bit of a hike.

We loved our stay at the condo. The room was exactly as described, the location was quiet and away from the busier areas of the town, and the view was stunning. We'd gladly stay there again.

A few take always
The grounds were always clean. Beach as well. However please note: next door there is a luau EVERY NIGHT! Made it hard to relax on our balcony. Our specific rental was pretty outdated. But fantastic views. Bathroom was run down and slightly dirty. I would go back to this resort but not this specific room.

The condo is on the South side of the property so I am surprised you even heard the luau. I suggest you travel to Mexico on your next trip if you do not appreciate or understand the meaning of Aloha.

First Time to Maui
While a bit older, a friend recommended this property for its proximity to the ocean and excellent view, and we were not disappointed. The view from our 6th-floor lanai was spectacular, and we left the wide sliding door and shades open day and night. The room was clean and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-appointed. The refrigerator, stove, and oven are all full-size! Communication from the owner was excellent, and our check-in/check-out process at the front desk was seamless. This is a great place if you don't require the fanciest, state-of-the-art amenities and prefer a less-crowded, more laid-back feel. Interestingly, most of the guests were young couples without children or older boomers, also without children present.

Heaven in a condo
The view and place are a gem on the island. The whole island is insanely stunning and this spot just feels like it was made for us. The sounds of the Luau next door each night after sunset felt so iconically Hawaii we could not have loved it more if we tried! Elaine has such a great eye. Her condo was incredibly tasteful and absolutely cozy. Even down to the lighting which was warm in tone and could be dimmed at night. As someone who takes in the details I can safely say you will be superbly satisfied if you stay here. The pillows comforter and bed so comfortable! The towels so big soft and fluffy. These are the little things that make a place feel good and these are the things Elaine understands and offers as a gracious and thoughtful host. The kitchen fully stocked for cooking and coffee in the morning. The place felt well taken cared for and clean. Elaine’s condo is our home away from home and not much else can beat that. Perfect spot. Thank you for sharing it! I will miss swimming in the pool each morning and then dunking right in the ocean to greet the beauty which is Maui life.

Had a great babymoon/birthday week!
My husband and I stayed here for our babymoon/my birthday and we had a wonderful time! The views from the balcony are amazing! We enjoyed the beach quite a bit - went paddle boarding and my husband went fly fishing during low tide. We got up close to 4 sea turtles! We did use the snorkel equipment provided however the one pair of flippers were cracked and not usable. Also, the white chairs are visibly dirty and need a deep cleaning/replaced. Other than that, everything was nice! Kitchen has pretty much everything you need as well. Within walking distance to bars, restaurants and many shops. We would stay here again.

Location, location, Maui!
Title of this review says it all. Beautiful property grounds located just a couple blocks from Lahaina. This is where you want to be for beach access, grounds amenities (pool, sauna, beach), view (watched / swam w/ turtles pretty much daily), close to the touristy area of Lahaina (think places to eat, shops, etc.), easy to navigate roads for access to coastlines with incredible beaches (head out early), and you get a nice room with pretty much everything you need to enjoy your time. Owner was super nice, communicated well, and took any mystery out of getting situated once on site. Would recommend if you don't need the ultra luxury experience (aka - no maid service, on site eatery, blah, blah). We used the room to clean-up after a day of being out and sleeping - it served it's purpose well. Thank you!

We had an excellent time! Loved the location, close to shops and bars, food and restaurants. Staff onsite was helpful and informative, concierge called us the next morning after we checked in and introduce herself and offer services. Host was also informative and very responsive with questions we had. View of the water was amazing, saw sea turtles and dolphins, no whales since too late in season, sunsets couldn’t be better viewed. Would definitely visit again if we have the chance.

Perfect home base for a visit to Maui
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, well-appointed, and quite attractive. We found our second stay at Lahaina Shores as positive as our first, this time with a condo in a perfect spot overlooking the ocean. We also appreciated everything being made easy for us by the owner (as well as Lahaina Shores itself). Our one suggestion would be to add a couple of pillows for the bed that are more substantial than what exists. That would make this condo perfect!

Elaine was wonderful! View was unbelievable! The best VRBO we've ever stayed in! Well stocked over the top with everything you need and more. Bed was comfortable. Towels were plush, not the cheap white hard motel type! White white sheets. Spent a lot of time on lanai watching whales, turtles and saw a Hawaiian monk seal. Ate at Spankys, Paia Fish Market, Captain Jacks, Bettys Beach cafe, and Cool Cats. Too many places, not enough time! This is our 10th time on Maui, staying in Lahaina area and this condo was perfect!

Amazing view
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I think it would be impossible to over-hype the view - we saw incredible sunsets every night and plenty of whales. Being close to Lahaina’s harbor, you also get to see lots of boat traffic. Next door, there’s a surfing school and kayak/SUP rentals, plus you can hear and see some of Feast of Lele next door. In other words, you can be entertained for literally hours just by sitting on the balcony. The unit was absolutely clean and had everything we needed in it. There are washers/dryers on the same floor in a little room by the elevators that accept cards and make it so easy to do a quick load here and there. Elaine is on top of communication at all stages of the rental process, and we really appreciated that she let us know the unit was cleaned and ready for check-in EARLY the day we arrived. One of the staff at the front desk even remarked that she loves the owners who do that, as not all of them do. Lahaina Shores is in a good location and it’s easy to walk to lots of restaurants and shops, we thought the grounds were well-maintained and the staff was helpful and friendly. The only suggestion for improvement that I would make would be to add one of those retractable clotheslines in the shower to facilitate drying swimsuits and such, but that’s a really small thing. Overall we are very happy we chose this place for our first trip to Maui!

This place couldn’t be better for a couple or small family staying in Maui. The condo is beautiful and located I’m right in Lahaina. The beach in front of the condo is perfect for swimming and calm all day. We couldn’t be happier with our stay. A huge plus is location. Lahaina is hands down the best town in Maui.

Truly a great unit with a great view. We stay here every year but in different units, this one was new for us. Loved the decor and the bed was awesome. I loved all the little thoughtful touches. The only thing I noticed was it could have been cleaned better. The ceiling fan was caked with dust bunnies and so was the top of the fridge. That is the cleaners fault, not the owners.

This is our second time to stay here since 2013. It did not disappoint us and were glad we stayed here again. The location is great. I wake up super early and my husband like to sleep in, so it’s perfect for us because i can go to the beach or sit on the balcony and wait for him to be ready without feeling too far away from him. There are tons of shops and places to eat in walking distance. We love the condo because we can cook breakfast and prepare some snacks for the days we go out and explore to save us some money.

We came for our honeymoon and loved the property. Short walking distance to shops. You are literally right on the beach just be sure to get down early because the tide will come up! Several places to shop and eat within walking distance. Eat at Fleetwoods (fine dining), Down the Hatch (high end bar food, but ok for the family), The Lahania pizza company was great, Dukes (short drive) was another great place.
