Nice little condo

Raghu from Klamath Falls, OR on 01/15/2010 said:

“ This was the first trip my wife and i have taken after getting married. The condo was just perfect for us, nice and clean with everything you need for a week stay. After a hectic day for sightseeing, you can kick back and relax in the lanai watching the sunset or the waves. There was also surfers fighting the waves. We saw quite a few whales in the mornings quite close. ”

Beautiful Condo!

sdixon from Calgary, Alberta on 01/14/2010 said:

“ We were pleasantly surprised by the well appointed condo and its spectacular view! The condo is nicely decorated and had everything we need. We enjoyed waking up every morning and have our coffee on the balcony while watching whales out in the ocean. We loved the location as it is not too far from downtown Lahaina, and close to the farmer's market and grocery store. I highly recommend this unit to anyone heading to Maui! ”

Pleasant and relaxing experience

Janet from Auckland, New Zealand on 12/03/2009 said:

“ The condo was very clean and well resourced(no Ac but that didn't trouble us). I was a bit worried it might be noisy with the bedroom on the road side of the complex but this was not a problem at all. It is quite dark in the bedroom so it was necessary to have the light on all the time. Liked the fact that there was no beach directly in front of the condo so people couldn't walk past - beach to one side was perfectly adequate for a swim. The beaches at Napili Bay or at Kaanapali are much nicer but also have hordes of people. Good location for visiting the sights of Maui. Overall I would definitely recommend this unit. ”

 

Decent value

Mark from Hamilton, OH on 09/27/2009 said:

“ Condo is very nice except no AC. Also there was no deadbolt on the front door, so security was lacking. They were working on the concrete so there was a lot of dust and you have to leave the windows open because there is no AC. The light outside the BR window stays on so it is not very dark when you're tryimg to sleep. ”

Manager response:

“ Thank you for your honest comments.

A vacation owner's nightmare is having guests in your condo while construction is in process. Because the work never seems to be performed as it is scheduled, guests sometimes get affected. I apologize that you had to endure the dust and noise while they repaved the walkway.

Your comments on the lighting and dead bolt are excellent and I will look to correct both of those issues.

As for air conditioning, I am not a personal fan of AC and prefer opening doors and windows and using fans, so have not had AC installed in my unit. I have found there are few times during the year AC is necessary. However, I understand that is a matter of personal preference.

All the best to you and hope you return to Maui again.

Awesome Condo

Overall rating:
Kelly from Las Vegas, NV on 08/22/2009 said:

“ This unit was awesome. Very clean and nicely decorated. Everything was super. I especially enjoyed my daily ritual of a nice glass of local wine on the balcony for sunset. The views were beautiful! There was some construction going on during our stay, but it wasn't that much of an inconvenience. We didn't need to be sleeping in past 9am anyway. But it would have been nice to know that it was going on before we arrived. Chuck was very informative and the detailed communication via email was easy to understand and very thorough. Location was nice. I liked that we were away from the tourists. It was more intimate and the locals were fantastic. Ohana Taco stand was a great find and inexpensive eats for a quiet and relaxing night in. We didn't receive a welcome package. I was a bit disappointed about that. Maybe with the economy being down they don't do that anymore. All in all, our stay was awesome and I would rent this unit out again the next time in Maui. Thanks ”

“ Perfect location. Really close to the only brewhouse on the island, MAUI BREWING CO! About the only thing I wished for since there were no tropical breezes when we were there was the A/C .... but we got used to it. Also, since our kids are getting bigger, we need the 2nd bedroom next time! The unit was clean and well-equipped. Parking spaces were a little tight but we managed! We would definitely book again.

Allie from Santa Cruz, CA on 05/25/2009 said:

“ I enjoyed my stay at the Kaleialoha Condos in May of 2009. It is a small, quiet complex and located close to Kaanapali. I stayed in #209 which was very nicely decorated and had a comfortable bed, full kitchen, shower/tub, and a flat screen tv in the living room. It does not have AC but with the fans, windows and sliding glass door open, its not needed. When you step out onto the balcony, there is a nice table and chairs. Down below is a grass area and then the wide blue ocean. You can see sea turtles popping their heads up and watch the sunsets from your balcony or the grass area. There really isn't a beach and its not the best swimming area but the great beaches are close by. The health food store and a small farmers market are right down the street...then a little farther down is a regular grocery store. If I stayed on the west shore again, I would stay in this condo unit. ”

Breathtaking View on Maui

Overall rating:
Lelar from Sunnyvale, CA on 04/01/2009 said:

“ My husband and I stayed here for 7 days for our honeymoon, and it was absolutely perfect. The address is Lahaina, but the condo is really much closer to Napili Bay. The location is ideal, and the setting is gorgeous. Not only was the condo beautifully decorated and completely upgraded, but every detail to make our stay comfortable was thought of - the owner supplied beach chairs and a cooler in the bedroom closet, and of course there was Kona coffee in the kitchen. Although the interior of the condo was beutiful, the view of the ocean from the lanai was the best part; you could see Molokai and Lanai right from the porch! When you were ready for some sun, it was a very short walk out to the lawn and patio with beach chairs that sits right above the ocean wall. There is small strip of beach in front of the condo, but it is a bit rocky, so you have to be careful about swimming there; however, this doesn't take away from the experience at all, and we were more than satisfied with our stay. We are missing the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep each night and can't wait to return. ”

Great Base

Schwabcycler from NY, NY on 04/01/2009 said:

“ We spent three weeks in this nice condo in Feb 2009. The unit itself is just terrific - comfortable, well-appointed and decorated and enjoying fantastic views from the deck of both Lanai and Molokai (and many passing whales). The building is nicely located in Western Maui about 5 miles north of Lahaina and 5 miles south of Kapalua. Shopping, food, etc., in ample and within walking distance and the bike riding to the north is really quite good. The only thing that would have improved the experience would be deck furniture that was a little more comfortable. But this place is really very, very nice and will not disappoint in any way. ”

Perfect - minus the next door neighbors smoking

jonisback from San Francisco Bay Area on 01/12/2010 said:

“ I loved my stay at this very cute and well equipped condo. Hearing the waves while we slept was very relaxing. Saw plenty of whales - even some jumping out of the water as well as many turtles on a regular basis. Perfect location - would consider buying a place like this someday. The only bad part which was just our bad luck was the people renting the adjacent unit ignored the no-smoking policy and smoked out on their Lanai - pretty much every morning and evening when we were trying to enjoy the view and fresh air. We were chased off the Lanai a number of times because of this and reporting it to the office seemed to make no difference. ”

Kalaeialoha Resort, Unit 412

Overall rating:
Sky from Edgewood, WA on 01/09/2010 said:

“ This was our 6th trip to Maui, and I can unequivocally tell you that this unit was the quietest of all of the places we've stayed. It's so pleasant not to hear the garbage trucks at 5:30 a.m.!! Unit 412 was beautifully and tastefully done, but not so fancy that we felt uncomfortable in it. We walked in the door, saw the view, then the Welcome Basket, and immediately felt comfortable, relaxed and at home. Located about 1 mile south of Kahana, and about 5 miles north of Lahaina, it is a very central location to the north-west side of Maui. The sunsets are terrific; the whale-watching is fantastic; the turtle watching is really fun; and the snorkeling is great. What more can a person ask for??? We really have no complaints, only thanks to the owners for having such a comfortable, yet well-appointed condo. ”

Steve & Zee Zee from Menlo Park California on 11/03/2009 said:

“ Our recent trip to Maui, Oct. 10 - Oct. 17 was one of our best yet. We've stayed in unit 412 many times and it's always a pleasure. With all the amenities of home, a clean, nicely decorated space, and incredible views you couldn't ask for a better place to stay on Maui. You can watch giant sea turtles eat off the reef right in front of your condo. Local fish market, coffee house, and farmer's market are a short walk each day for fresh products. Chatting it up with the permanent residents while grilling your fish at sunset is a real treat every evening. Then end each day falling asleep to the gentle sound of the waves. It doesn't get any better than this on Maui. ”

Mar&Jer from Westfield Wisconsin on 10/14/2009 said:

“ Aloha! We are watching our slide show from our trip Sept.29-Oct.9 2009. It is almost as beautiful as seeing it all for the first time. Lynn & Costa could not have better "hosts". The condo was everything we read and more. We loved the gift basket. The details in decorating and the cleanliness of the condo could not be topped by anyone! The staff at Kaleialoha Resort was friendly and ready to help us in any way possible. Getting together at sunset with some of the permanent residents was great. We got so many great "tips" that really helped us experience Maui to the fullest. Thanks guys!!! We miss you already. The Feast at LeLe was unbelievable! It HAS to be the best luau on Maui. The road to Hana was an adventure (would spend the night in Hana if we did it again). Bringing fresh fish and fruit/vegetables back to the condo from the Farmer's market for dinner made it truly feel like "home". This was our 44th anniversary and it surely was the best one so far! We hope to return to Maui some day (God willing) and Condo 412 is where we want to be. If we have to find a down-side; it would be not enough days; until we meet again, Mahalo to you all!!! ”

It was really nice to go to sleep and wake up in the morning at the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. We are planning to go back to Maui in the near future and would certainly try to book the same place. Aloha and Mahalo, Luc Bergeron ”

Annie from San Francisco, California on 09/01/2009 said:

“ I recently had the great pleasure to spend 6 days in Unit #412 at Kaleialoha Resort. It is a perfectly appointed unit with an expansive oceanview of Lanai and Molokai. I ate every meal on the lanai to the musical accompaniment of the crashing waves and the incredible vistas of bright blue waters, sea turtles and even a pod of dolphins. At night the moon's reflection sparkled in the water below and hundreds of stars twinkled from above, in a way that can only be seen, when one is far enough away from all the city lights where I live. It was just a dream. The condo's decor is charming and it is impeccably maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with dishware and cutlery. And there are even beach chairs, snorkel masks and ice chests available in the unit, for those who wish to make day trips to the beach. I especially appreciated the Natural foods store and Farmer's Market within easy walking distance. There was wonderful produce and delicious baked goods for sale outside on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And inside the Natural Foods store there was a very good selection of organic foods and products, which was better than any I'd ever seen on my many previous trips to Maui. There was some construction going on at the complex during the day, but I did not find the noise to be overwhelming or intrusive, and the workers were all polite and good natured. The condo's owner was very friendly and helpful and keeps the unit in perfect order. I would definately recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a charming environment, spectacular ocean view and lovely Hawaiian ambiance. It's a gem! ”

We could even see the sea turtles in the ocean down below us when looking over the balcony. The unit was nicely decorated and was very clean. It was fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The air conditioning made it very comfortable to be there after coming back from the beach and warm sun. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfy pad to stay in during their visit to paradise! ”

LuvsMaui from Minneapolis, MN on 04/19/2009 said:

“ Our stay at Kaleialoha Condo #412 was wonderful. We prefer accommodations where we can set the pace and not compete with a crowd. This condo was perfect for our needs. The full kitchen, in-unit laundry and the farmers market down the street were very convenient and really helped on the whole cost of the vacation. Yet there are lots of restaurants nearby in Kaanapali and Lahaina if you prefer to go out. The view from the lanai was spectacular. We had breakfast and dinner on the lanai every day, watching the whales and sea turtles at play. This also appears to be a good place for moderately experienced surfers to enjoy the waves. Good surf but no where near the pounding waves of the north shore. We will definitely recommend this condo to anyone who prefers a similar type of experience. ”

“ Staying in this rental property is like staying in your own home transplanted in paradise. The condo is well stocked with everything you'll need--linens, kitchen utensils, beach chairs, and more. It's amazing what you will see just sitting on the lanai--turtles, the neighboring islands, and sunsets you will remember for a lifetime. Lahaina and Kaanapali are both a short drive down the road when you want to hit the tourist scene. But even after a night out, you will look forward to coming "home." And the first thing you will do on your departure day is think about when you will return. ”

Margaret from San Francisco on 04/02/2009 said:

“ I have been to Maui numerous times prior to finding this hidden treasure Kalaialoha Unit 412 but this is was by far above and beyond fantastic. The first time was on my 40th and I fell in love with the unit and returned in November 2008. In April the whales were still there and visiable from the lanai. The turltes were also visiable from the lanai. The unit is clean and very hospitable. It's location is key. You can walk to private beaches, or BBQ in the back yard. It's a close distance form Kaanapali and Kapalua and downtown Lahaina. But again, the unit is so nice and the views with the breathtaking sunsets it's hard to leave the unit. I highly recommend Kaleialoha for anyone returning or who have an interest in coming to Maui for the first time. It is heaven on earth. As a world traveler...there is no better place to hike, swim, play tennis/golf, surf or just read a book. I highly recommend Kaleialoha Unit 412. I look forward to returning soon!

“ We loved unit 105. Its location was great and the others at the location were very friendly. It brought back fond memories of my stay on the same highway as a kid nearly 40 years earlier. The views every day and sunsets every night were stunning. The first floor location and ability to walk right out onto the lawn and overlook the shore made this condo functionally much larger than its actual footprint. Both adults and both kids (boys 8 and 2) thought it was terrific. The wifi access was a bit odd, with my laptop only occasionally getting a signal, but that was very minor. (After all, if you're on your laptop much with a view like that of 105, you're nuts!) ”

It's close to coffee, shops, good places to eat, farmers market, beaches, the harbor, etc. Even tho' it's in the midst of lots of condos we still felt a sense of being secluded being on the lanai and looking out at the water. ”

 

Bad Hawaii

Overall rating:
sbraun0101 from Montana on 11/06/2009 said:

“ This unit is tastefully decorated and nicely furnished. However, upon awaking our first morning we were puzzled to see metal poles standing immediately outside the lanai door. Then upon further inspection tools, paint buckets, air compressors, and much more were strewn around the lanai. Since we are travling with a 2 year old this immediately meant that the lanai area was dangerous. At 8 AM a work crew showed up and closed off our access to the ocean-- both from the unit and the steps around the building-so much for all of the promises of ocean and 30 steps to the waves. After telephoning the owner we were immediately offered a 50% discount or the option to move out...considering that a day had already been wasted and we had already settled into the unit and that we had not traveled to Maui to spend all of our time searching for a new unit or packing and unpacking several times. Of course the owner, being an attorney and real estate broker, knew that she was in trouble. There is no excuse for not knowing what is happening at your own unit, especially since the construction had been continuing for several weeks. There are many other units in the same area as well as better locations in Kihei. In general the Big Island has much more to offer compared to Maui. ”

Manager response:

“ I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the work being done on the property. We were under the impression that you were quite satisfied with our offer of a half-price stay and would certainly have helped you find an alternate accommodation. The fact is that property management did not notify us of this project as they normally do. Had we been aware that work was to take place, we would have notified you immediately and made every effort to accommodate you. ”

The few steps down to the beach made for a nice quick jump in the ocean. We also saw many sea turtles just off shore. All the people we ran into at the Kaleialoha were very helpful and welcoming. We'd definitely stay there again! ”

We saw and swam with the resident sea turtles numerous times during our stay. I would recommend bringing a suitcase full of food to save money. ”

“ We just spent a wonderful 10 days at Cheri's place on Maui and it was an ideal experience. This is the first time that we stayed in a vacation rental home in the U.S. -- and it was perfect.The condo was close to the beach and on the ground floor, just a short walk across the lawn to enjoy our morning coffee with Molokai, Lahaina and the Pacific to greet us. The manager had keys waiting for us on arrival. Everything was in order when we arrived, and we were pleased to learn that the pictures online matched the home. It's actually nicer than the pictures! We had to extend our stay 1 day early and Cheri could not have been more accommodating. We'd definitely recommend this condo - especially if you're looking to relax and want to spend a lot of your vacation at the beach. We cooked, on both the gas and the charcol grills and they were clean and ready to use. With stores in Lahaina and a local natural food store all our needs were met. We'll be definitely back next year. Aloha & Mahala Jim & Pam ”

 

Wonderful Place To Stay

“ I really enjoyed staying at the Kaleialoha Resort. My condo unit was outfitted in a tropical motif, the livingroom was roomy and pleasant, the kitchen was appointed with most everything I needed, and the bedroom was very nice. My unit also had a small ice-chest, a beach umbrella, snorkels and fins which was a big plus. There were also 2 different kinds of plug-in fans which were definitely needed on the hot days (90 degrees plus). It was wonderful to open the glass doors, walk out onto the grass and sit in a chaise lounge, or eat at one of the tables, and look out onto the ocean. A beautiful experience! I would definitely go back to the Kaleialoha Resort. ”

“ Very quaint, clean and quiet condo space. The owner was avaiable to speak with prior to my stay. The manager was also available to us, although we didn't need them during the 2 week stay. The views from the patio were unobstructed and beautiful. As soon as I can get 2 weeks off again I plan to stay in the same codo. We had everything we needed...towels, kitchen stuff,music,comfortable furnishing... a great market to walk to, a grill on sight...It was wonderful! Safe area. We never felt nervous about being watched, robbed...( as there were 2 women staying )... great local restaurants near by too! Book it now! ”

Loved Our Stay

Carol from Arlington VA on 04/23/2009 said:

“ I had never been to Hawaii, had a business trip to Honolulu and had a few days to see another another island. I loved the 1st floor location; we could walk out our door and overlook the ocean. We were surprised to see a gathering outside our first night there (Monday), and discovered an informal potluck that occurs every Monday night. Everyone was friendly, made us feel welcome even thoughwe were short term, and recommended things to do and places to eat. I wanted to see whales and sea turtles and we were told to just look out at the water. We saw more whales (at a distance) than we did later on a whale watching boat trip. The condo was very clean and comfortable. My son and I would gladly stay there again. ”

 

Safe and Convenient for Baby's First Trip

GypsyMom from Calgary, Canada on 04/16/2009 said:

“ This cozy unit made our stay in Maui pleasant. As new parents, it was great to feel like we were enjoying it all (whales and Maui sunsets from the lanai or even the couch!) even though we needed to stay close to 'home' much of the time. The parking lot is small so it was so easy to tote baby and gear to and from the condo. We appreciated the nearby amenities as well such as a kids' playpark and supermarket. Having laundry right in the unit was very handy and a feature we will seek out at other destinations. The kitchen was so well-stocked that we even ended up making baby food there (the selection of 'bought' food wasn't great, even at Wal-Mart). Since the whole focus of this review has been the family-friendliness of Unit 105, I will mention that we did have enough room in the bedroom for a crib (great baby rentals on Maui!) but there is no bath tub, only a shower. Lastly, if you do go, make sure to take your garbage out frequently, in just a few days, creepy crawlies will come to visit. We felt so safe letting our little guy play because it's a ground-floor unit. The location is also very handy for setting out for other beaches in the area. We especially recommend taking a snorkel set out to Kahana Bay -the fish were fantastic! :-) ”

“ We had stayed in another unit at this location and really enjoyed the area. Found this unit via a google search - ground floor - made the stay much better. Unit contained all the amenities required, very clean and very comfortable. Definitely a possible unit for our next trip to Hawaii as it is close to everything, has access to a good beach, good snorkeling and plenty of turtles. Good location for whale watching later in the year. ”

“ A most enjoyable stay at this one bedroom condo. Clean with lots of room for two end equiped with everything you needed. The nice part was the ground floor unit was great for access to the beach area. The patio was in shade for most of the day once you have had enough of the sun. The people we met in the complex were most helpful and friendly. This was our first trip to Maui and we would highly recommend this unit. We just wish we were able to spend more time their, but maybe next time. ”

“ I found this rental on the VRBO website and e-mailed the owner for additional info. She responded to my query promptly and helpfully. Everything about check-in went smoothly. The unit itself was about the best located in the condo. Oceanside and very quiet. The unit itself was spotless and had every amenity we needed. Particulary enjoyed swimming with the resident turtle about 50 feet directly in front of condo. Very handy to all services. Pool was always clean and hardly used. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay and look forward to again enjoying our next holiday there. ”

Oregon Girl from Eugene, OR on 04/02/2009 said:

“ We stayed here for a week in April 2008, our first time to Maui and the first time not staying in a hotel, this couldn't have been a better experience! The condo (105) was just as described, the pictures found on their website (www.alohacondos.com) are exactly what it looked like and we really enjoyed being on the ground floor, just a short skip to the lawn chairs and BBQ. We bought groceries and cooked most of the time we stayed and this was an added plus, the kitchen was fully stocked with pots & pans, dishes, silverware, everything we needed and felt right at home. The condo isn't a part of the Kaleialoha Resort but the staff couldn't have been more helpful in answering questions and giving us information about best places to eat and visit (and so were the other tenants and homeowners). There's no beach directly in front of the resort but made no difference, the snorkeling was good, we had sea turtles not more then 5 feet away and it's a short walk to Black Beach. I highly recommend Aloha Condos and Unit 105, everything was perfect and we're planning another trip this year, will definetly stay here. ”

Wonderful Holiday

Ron and Shannon from Calgary Alberta Canada on 04/02/2009 said:

“ What a wonderful restful holiday we had at Kaleialoha Resort #105. The room was immaculate and the Aloha basket was very thoughtful. The well stocked condo had everything you could need, including beach chairs, Boogie Board and something they didn't advertise, a private washer and dryer.The Lanai is about 15 steps to the ocean, where every day we would watch the turtles feeding and the whales breaching. There is a small beach (went swimming there 3 times) but its probably more accessible in the Spring, Summer and Fall. The back off the Lanai is well grassed and lots of lounge chairs for sunning. If you are looking for parties and night life in you place of residence, this is not the place for you. If however you are looking for a quiet well kept little peace of heaven to recharge your batteries, this would be a great place for you to go. For us, it was just a wonderful restful 3 weeks. By the way, the golfing was fabulous. Aloha. ”

“ Really nice owner, gift basket, wonderful neighbors nightly gatherings to watch the sunset. This unit is right on the patio area. Great views of the ocean but limited privacy. Bed was fairly comfortable. The only negative would be the cockroaches. There were lots of them. This is a common problem on the islands. I would maybe consider this unit again but I would make it a point of seeing where the buildings were at with infestations. Again, it happens everywhere over there. ”

“ This is paradise. Only 25 feet to the lounge chairs to relax in the sun. A few feet away are the stairs to the sand and water. A first floor condo is the only way to live. I've stayed twice at Kaleialoha 105 and hopefully again in Sept 2009. The pool is solar and its wonderful. The bbq area is wonderful. The guests and residences are very friendly. A short drive to Lahaina for excellent tacos and happy hour at the Blue Lagoon. Longs Drugs store is the place to purchase beverages when you run out. Did I tell you about the turtles, hootie the seal and dolphins? Big/huge turtles swim right up to the waters edge, hottie swims by occasionaly and we've seen dolphins in the distance. I recommend this unit 1000%. Have a grrrreat time. ”

Alaskans starving for summer from Kenai, Alaska on 04/01/2009 said:

“ We enjoyed everything about this condo, from the birds visiting on the lanai to the front row seat on the ocean (which crashed over the wall one night - exhilerating!) to the exclusive view, all the amenities and an affordable price. We consider it our home away from home and long to return one day. From our lawn chair perch with feet up on the wall we watched the turtles and whales and soaked the sun and were lulled by the waves and the soft breeze. You will love this place, but I'm hesitant to say so, because the schedule will fill. ”

“ This was our third stop and our favorite stop in the islands. We loved the condo as it was right on the ocean and quiet. It was near areas we wanted to expoler and made our visit extra nice. We did not get a chance to cook on the grills but I would like to do that next time - yes, next time. The gift basket was full of wonderful treats and very thoughtful. My husband and I have recommended this condo to others and hope to get back there ourselves. Maui was our favorite island because of the beauty and peacefulness for a relaxing vacation. ”
