This was one of the best locations at Pohalani. We have stayed in others in two of the front buildings and we enjoyed this trip and location the most. Thank you!!
An absolutely gorgeous place, tastefully designed, very clean and well maintained. The views are spectacular, we saw turtles and whales right from our lanai! The hosts were very responsive and had the place stocked with everything necessary! Highly recommend!
Great condo experience! We have stayed at 3 different units in this complex over the years and this one was the best. They did a great job with the remodel and the unit is very well stocked. Check in was easy, good communication with the host, and the best/private parking space on in the lot.
This place is beautiful and very well stock. Will be back

We stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. The rental was perfect for our needs and we would come back for sure.
We loved our stay. The unit was clean and well stocked with dishes, utensils, pans etc. as well as beach chairs, towels and umbrella. The sheets and towels smelled nice and the bed was comfortable! It’s great sitting out on the lanai watching the turtles and whales. Beautiful sunsets too. We’ll be back!

The vacation rental was beautifully done up and right on the water with an amazing sunset view. However the surrounding was noisy especially during the night with cars racing down. The residential property is old and someone with mobility issue will find it challenging to navigate.
I came to Maui for a solo trip as a woman in my 30’s. I wanted somewhere to stay that felt as inviting as the beach. This place did not disappoint! It was comfortable, clean and adorable! The decor was relaxing. I loved having breakfast out on the patio in the mornings and listening to the waves. I would highly recommend. I was thankful for a beach chair. Jill was a great host and responsive. Parking spot was assigned. Would highly recommend to friends or family.
We’ve stayed here in this condo several times before, so you know then that we love it!!! Phenomenal views! The remodel that was done is beautiful!
I do suggest bringing an eye mask if you like your sleeping area dark. I always bring one everywhere we travel, however I was super glad to have it this time. The Pohailani complex made some upgrades to the lights outside, they are now LED and one is positioned right outside the entrance and above that window and when I say it lights up the sleeping area, I am not exaggerating. It makes it look like day light outside and the shades on that window barely dims it. Fortunately, I had my eye mask and I had one for my husband. So keep that in mind when you are packing.
We’ve always felt this little oceanfront complex is a gem and we will be returning. That view, the turtle watching and the sunsets are always spectacular. The condo was well stocked, we did add an ice cream scooper to the supplies Everything was clean and in good condition.
Communication with the rental manager was awesome. They made sure to let us know when there was a possibility of the electric being shut off due to a high wind day, which we appreciated.
As always, we had a lovely vacation!!!! Leaving to go home made us so sad!!!
Thanks for a fabulous condo, and can’t wait to return.

We have been coming to Maui for over 20 years and this hands down is the best condo we have ever stayed in. Close to Napili, quite secretly tucked into the most beautiful view ever. Nothing beats waking up to the ocean and turtles every morning. Thank you! We can’t wait to book our stay for next year thank you!!!!
Not much to say other than you will not be disappointed staying here.This place is absolutely amazing!!

Everything about this stay was absolutely out-stanching. The decor was so cute & beachy, well equipped kitchen for a comfortable stay, the view off the balcony was the most gorgeous views I have ever seen, beach supplies to use throughout the stay... It was so dreamy. Waking up to incredible rainbows over the beautiful ocean, watching the sea turtles poke there heads up everywhere, and hearing the waves crash throughout the night. I would highly recommend Pohailani 212, everything was amazing.
