Expectation met
Due to circumstances and the fact we had visited Maui in the past, this trip was meant to be a stop over before flying to Kauai. In saying that, we chose this condo for the cost factor and the reasonable reviews we had researched. I... more
will say the condo is a bit run down and could use some TLC. The location is great and with a few upgrades, the space would be great.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review. It is appreciated as the owners strive for every guest to have an enjoyable stay. The appliances and furniture are recently new within the last two years. The lanai furniture is in the process of being replaced. Upgrades are always being done.

Short extended stay in Kahana Maui
Arrived at check-in time of 3PM, We were greeted by the building person (Beth) in charge, she welcomed us and informed us if we needed anything to call. Had an ant problem with kitchen garbage can (no food was in the can) informed Beth about... more
it the following day and she provided us with a can of ant spray which did the trick. The short stay here completed our 13 day stay in Maui, Building person (JD) was pleasant to chat with and made himself available if we needed anything also. The location was spot on in this unit and walking distance to the park and coffee shop. This unit puts you steps from the beach. Only negative was the parking was a little tight, but overall the complex was nice.

October Stay at Nohonani
Great accommodations and had a lovely time. JD (the condo manager) was fabulous! The condo overall was kept in pristine condition - the pool, vegetation, etc. Our individual condo could have been cleaned better before we arrived. Bedroom slider was pretty dusty. While most kitchen... more

So peaceful and relaxing
Our first trip to Maui celebrating our 37th Anniversary. My husband does not like flying so this was a HUGE deal to get him to go to Hawaii. The condo: perfect location. We loved the peaceful, low key atmosphere. Kitchen was well equipped. This unit... more
is literally a few steps to the sand and pool. There are curtains and shades for privacy. To wake up in the morning and just look outside from our bed and see the ocean, priceless! Although there are two ceiling fans and one tower fan, a second tower fan would have been much appreciated as to have one in the living room AND bedroom. We were hot and sweaty the whole time. I even brought two table top travel fans from home which helped (ordered from Amazon). Also a couple of beach chairs would really be nice. Our friends who were staying in another unit at this complex had beach chairs and we were jealous LOL. The chairs from the pool area are not really meant for sand. We will definitely be back and would love to stay at this unit again. Memories made! =-)

Beautiful condo on the beach
Had an amazing stay here! Walk from the back porch it to the beach. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was amazing. Watching sunset in the beach of you're own condo π! Highly recommend!!

Nohonani Unit 103
We were happy to be back at Nohonani! We have stayed several times at this exact Condo in past years but haven't been back in probably 4 or 5 years. We love the location. The Condo has gotten a bit run down and it definitely... more
needs to be updated and spruced up. The kitchen supplies were just OK (for example, couldn't find a can opener) and it is in desperate need of new bed pillows! Some glass wine glasses would be lovely. Overall, just needs a little TLC. In general we were satisfied and would consider returning. May we suggest an hour for Adults only Swimming at sometime during the day or evening. Kids were constantly in the pool and we had a hard time finding a few minutes that we could squeeze in. Jamie was awesome to work with! She helped coordinate our Adult Kids staying in Unit 101 at same time as us.

Thank you for taking the time to send us your review of Nonohani unit 103, it is very much appreciated. We always strive to keep the units as clean and updated as possible. We have noted your comments and will make sure to address these items. A suggestion will be made to the board of directors regarding a possible adult only segment of time for the pool.

Perfect beachfront condo
This condo is on the ground floor just steps from the beach. The snorkeling and turtles were great. The condo was comfortable for the 2 of us.

Fabulous!!
This condo was amazing! The best location ever, right on the ocean, you could hear the ocean about 10 feet from the bed and it just swayed us to sleep every night! I loved that the bedroom was also ocean view since most are in... more
the back of the condos. I wanted a condo on the first floor so my 2 year old could run outside and go in the pool easily and this location was perfect. We didn't even mind no air conditioning, great breezes. Great bin of pool toys and beach chairs, even an umbrella and cooler. The bed was great, not too firm or too soft, the only thing was the bed seemed to be slumping a little bit on the edge, it would have been great to have maybe rotated the mattress. We will definitely book this condo again! I'm sure the price will go up post-covid though, but it was a great deal for Nov 2020!

First time in Maui
This was our first time in Maui. We were so very happy to find this place. For us, the location was perfect. Great home base in the North. If you are wanting to drive south to say Makena, plan on 45 minutes. The complex was... more
small and quiet. The adjacent small beach was great for a breakfast swim. The Condo was well outfitted and cozy. If we had to find any issue, it was that the night waves could be a little loud π. We would stay here again in an instant and i have already recommended to several people.

Unit 103 was a perfect base for our holiday. We've stayed in various condos at Nohonani but never this one. It was an extremely welcome sight to see a care package on the table when we first arrived. Lovely touch! Great location in complex although... more
some guests not respectful regarding noise and yelling as they walk past our unit trying to communicate with people in the pool or screaming about the turtles! Joe, the caretaker was friendly and helpful as always and keeps the communal areas in tip top condition. Plenty of linen, BBQ clean and easy to use, proximity to grocery store, fuel and eateries was great. Plenty of parking and the sound of the sea each night was very hard to leave behind!

Wished we had found this unit years ago
Aloha, and congratulations on finding Nohonani, and Aloha Condo's. This was our first time here, but we will return. We got a super deal on #103, which was significantly discounted for low season (May). Ground floor is the only way to go in my opinion.... more
You park your car, and are inside the unit in 30 seconds. 6 steps after that, and you are on the beach. Booking with Aloha Condo's was super easy. Also no VRBO fee, which can be close to a nights rent. Maureen was prompt in responding to all all questions. The pictures tell you everything. No washer/dryer in the 1 bedroom units, but the complex's machines were right outside our front door. The unit is updated, well maintained, and well stocked. It's the little things like spices, dishwasher detergent, kitchen gadgets, dish brush, beach towels, etc, which make this a home away from home. Sheri greets you on check in day, and provides a nice welcome gift with coffee and chocolates. Bob is the resident manger, and takes great care of the complex. Maintained daily. There was a whisper quiet table fan in our unit, which came in useful for us. Just opening the front door and the Lanai door, provided the majority of the cooling however. =================== Find and download a map of complex and you will see all 28 units at Nohonani; 7 are on the ground floor. There are 1 BR and 2BR units on the ground floor. 3 BR units are on the top floor. Some with other rental companies. #103 is the corner unit, which is beach front. If you are travelling with kids, being able to sit oceanfront/beachfront on your lanai, but still have an eye on the pool, this could be best unit for you. Pool is 3ft to 7ft deep, so for the little Keiki, you might want one of the other ground floor units, which are pool side. For the most ground floor privacy, you may want to consider #104 to #106. No view of pool, but away from the shower and gate to the beach. While locking your ground floor Lanai door at night is always a good suggestion, we rarely did. Complex is well lit, and felt extremely safe. There are two BBQ's on site. The pool one gets the most use of course. There other is down by #106. Ignore all low star ratings. Possibly from people looking for some freebies or refunds. My favorite was the person complaining that the ocean was "too noisy" OK, ya sure. And what's next....the beach was "too sandy"? For the price we paid, this was the best vacation value we have had in a long time. Wished we had booked Maureen's unit longer. Could have stayed here for 3 weeks, for less than 1 week in a Waikiki hotel room. AND sit right on the ocean, and watch Maui sunsets every night. Bliss.

Ideal Location and Beautiful View
Without a doubt, Unit 103 is a fantastic unit in an absolutely ideal location. The complex itself is located a short drive to Lahaina's downtown. There are nearby grocery stores so you can stock up on groceries and other supplies. It's also close to beautiful... more
beaches suitable for swimming. The beach that's accessible from the complex is small and there seemed to be rocks that would make swimming a little challenging. But the view is truly stunning, and we could (and did!) sit on the wall next to the lanai, looking out at the ocean for hours on end. The unit itself has everything you need. While the unit is older (be careful with the closet sliding door, lest it go off-track!), the unit is in very good shape and was absolutely spotless. We would definitely stay here again.

Poor value for our money
We paid the premium rate to stay at Nohonani during the holiday season. Unfortunately, we did not get our money's worth. Although the condo was listed as "sleeps 4", we were charged an additional $15/night for the 3rd person. When we arrived, there were no... more
sheets for the sofa-bed and only 2 beach towels. This was quickly resolved with a phone call but we did not receive our "welcome basket" until a second call was made half-way through our stay. The condo itself is run down and grubby. Many of the dishes in the cupboard were very dirty and we later discovered that this was because the dishwasher was not working properly and the cleaners simply put them away dirty. The cupboards looked like they hadn't been cleaned for some time as they were coated in a greasy, dusty film. In addition, there was no kettle, no dish rack and the light over the stove was burnt out, making it very dark for cooking in the small, closed-in kitchen. The private beach is VERY tiny and not very good for swimming due to a series of reefs directly in front. While it was exciting seeing the large turtles that came up onto the beach daily, we got no other use of the beach and had to travel to other beaches in the area. The condo has no privacy, as people walking past the bedroom and living room are able to look right in and beyond to the bathroom area. Consequently, the drapes had to be kept closed, eliminating the ocean view and much-needed air flow. Our daughter was kept awake at night due to people chatting late at night in the breezeway outside our front door. The main bed was comfortable, the shower worked well and the sound of the surf was relaxing. This condo would not be so bad if it had a good cleaning and the rate charged was reasonable. For us, it was a disappointment!

As other reviews stated, the outdoor shower for the pool is close to the Lanai for this unit, but it was not a problem at all. The condo is also within walking distance of a few stores / restaurants in honokowai and a quick drive to Kaanapali / kapalua beaches. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would recommend this place in a heartbeat. Mahalo!

Nohonani stay
We absolutely loved the location of Nohonani condos!! We were on 103 right next to the pool and only a few feet from the water!!! Amazing view!!! We listened to the crashing waves all day and night!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.... more
The condo itself needs a little tlc. Itβs clean but could use some updating in both the interior and the furnishing.. it was well stocked with dishes, towels and linens... I was surprised to not find even small bottles of shampoo and we only were left with a half roll of tp upon arrival. Other than that,we loved our stay. We met both the manager of aloha properties and the condo manager herself. And she brought us a really nice welcome package... looking forward to returning!!

and the breezeway helps keep it cooler than other units (our party was also in #106) Cons: Both screen doors have difficulty staying on their tracks. At least one of them has a broken wheel bearing and should be replaced. Central location also means more noise from other guests at the pool, Beach, and shower. No privacy when sitting on the patio.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone I know. The location is so perfect! You are right on the water, can go to sleep listening to the waves breaking and wake-up and go snorkeling or shell-hunting in the morning. The... more
sea turtles that frequent this stretch of shore are also an added bonus. There were so many in the water when we stayed in early May. The condo itself is nice and spacious. Comfy bed with nice, soft sheets, roomy shower, and up-to-date kitchen. You can eat your meals inside at the dining table if it's raining, or enjoy the weather outside on the front patio overlooking the ocean. Also, when you get in, there's an amazing welcome basket of Hawaiian goodies! It was so nice and we indulged in everything! Macadamia chocolates, Hawaiian-style potato chips, amazing local coffee, great quality canvas totes perfect for heading out to the beach, and various flavors of roasted macadamia nuts. Yum! A few minor/easy requests I would ask of the owners to make things a bit more hospitable the next time around: β’ Please supply new, sharp knifes! So hard to cut a pineapple with dull ones. β’ Please provide new pots - I believe that anytime the non-stick surface of a pan is scratched off, it should go in the trash β’ Add more pillows to the bed - one pillow per person just doesn't cut it when you're trying to relax and read the paper in the morning β’ New scrub brush - the one we were supplied with had definitely done its time Thanks so much for letting us stay at this amazing place!

Nice beach front unit
We stayed here for about a week in mid September. The unit was nicely furnished, and a wonderful gift basket surprised us, great touch by the owner! We enjoyed staying here since it was right in front of the pool area and had great access... more
to the beach. The communal shower was in front of the unit but it was not a negative at all, everyone was cordial and polite and there was not a lot of foot traffic like some of the others have complained about. The bed was also very comfy and falling asleep to the waves were amazing. However, it could be a little loud for some people. My only complaint was the lack of AC as it was in the 90's and very humid when we stayed. I actually had trouble staying cool as the fans in the unit were just not cool enough for the extreme weather. It was out of the ordinary, but keep that in mind if you book this unit.

Truly oceanfront with resident turtles
We enjoyed a lovely week at Nohonani #103. Wonderful ocean & beach front location - it was literally steps to a sandy beach where we could swim with the turtles. Love the layout of this 1-bedroom unit, with the bedroom on the beach side. Kitchen... more
was small, but serviceable. Tile flooring throughout unit was also wonderful. TV sets in living room and bedroom had been upgraded over those in the online photos - a nice surprise. My only complaint is that the fact that a failing sea wall had caused some sink holes on the property and this was not disclosed to us until after our final payment went through - even though the owner was well aware of the situation at the time that we booked. An Aloha Condos online booking site representative sent a photo of the sink hole promptly in response to our request, and the owner cut $20 per night off the originally booked rate without asking due to the inconvenience caused by the sink hole - there was temporary fencing around the lanai that obstructed our view somewhat when seated and prevented us from using a lawn area. The owner also offered to refund our money entirely, which we considered, but we were unable to find comparable accommodations with less than 30 days notice. When we first found out about the sink hole, we were concerned that the structural integrity of the building might be compromised before we arrived, leaving us with nowhere to stay. As it turned out, the failing sea wall was not a significant problem. It may even have been an advantage in the case of #103 because a sink hole had taken out a walking path right outside the bedroom window, so we got more privacy than we would have otherwise. Last we heard, work to repair the failing sea wall is scheduled to begin on 3/23/2015. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Nohonani #103 very much - clean, comfortable, well-appointed, great location, watched giant sea turtles swimming and sunning themselves on the beach nearly every day. Also a great view for whale watching in season. Only suggestions for improvement I have would be to provide an in-room safe for visitors and a small drying rack or some hooks on the lanai for swimsuits and towels.

swimming at high tide! Turtles lived right off shore and sometimes crawled up on the beach to sleep. Snorkeling was good right there if the tide wasn't too low, then you could just swim out a bit further. The condo was quite small, but a perfect layout. The ocean was in every room. Sliding doors from the great room and master opened to the patio. The back wall in the great room was mirror. Best suited for 2 people. The kitchen is tiny, so not recommended if you like to cook. We usually go out every other night and pick up ready-made the others, so it was fine for us. The place was well-equipped with towels, utensils, and the mattress was really terrific. Must have been quite new...so comfy, with the added benefit of ocean lulling us to sleep. Overall, after 25 years of coming to Hawaii, this was our favorite place.

someone who didn't want to clean or change linens, however staying in a condo you expect to do this things. The unit itself is a great location, however the sheets did not fit the bed, no placemats or coasters (help to keep the glass tops clean) I also rented 2 additional units for our kids and grandkids stay along with ours. When we come back will ck again to see if the cleaning is still a 2 time fee, if so will look elsewhere. shower doors very spotty, lime away would clean them up nicely. Screen doors did not lock, but then they never have in 5 stays.

Absolutely amazing!
Unit 103, in my opinion, locationally speaking is hands down the best unit in the complex - no one else is a) situated so close to the gate to the beach B) has a retaining wall that is comfortagble enough to sit on for long... more
periods of time that is right outside their patio door and C) has an immediate view of the beach not the pool - The only thing I didnt expect was that there were no cleaning supplies so i had to buy my own kitchen counter cleaner, there was only 1 spare roll of TP and no spare paper towel - And once we bought our own stuff, i never even thought twice about that again. It was just an initial irritation. The management staff,(Joe) while not related to aloha Condos was so friendly and offered lots of information and was a pleasant and friendly face every morning. Cannot wait to go back - a little disappointed to see the 2014 rates go up so much as we already checked for a return in Nov again. May have to find somewhere else due to raise in rates.

Amazing honeymoon condo!
Everything about this condo was amazing! We arrived after a very long day of flying from Ottawa, and had no trouble accessing the condo. Parking is easy and right on site. The ocean is literally right outside the doors of this place. You can't help... more
but be mesmerized by it. The pool is large and warm and allows for great views of the islands. The condo was perfect for a couple (or a couple of kids - we hope to return with ours in 5 years!). The living room is exactly as shown in the photos - comfortable, spacious, bright and an awesome view of the islands and sunset each night. The sunsets are spectacular! The kitchen is large enough to prepare a meal and most items are there (oven mitts would be a good item to add). We purchased food at the local Farmer's Market and Safeway in Lahaina and made all of our meals either in the kitchen or on the shared BBQ by the pool. The bathroom was clean and the shower nicely updated and spacious. The king sized bed and large bedroom with patio doors was perfect for this honeymooning couple. Since we were there for 9 days, we really appreciated the dresser provided. Having a working safe would have been nice, as we had our passports and cash and didn't always want to bring them with us to the beach or when we went diving. The beach felt like our own private beach, likely because of the time of year (Sept). There was a turtle who would join us almost every day and it was my husband's favourite animal on the island. We snorkelled a bit in the water outside the condo, but most days the conditions weren't ideal (very windy all day every day). The lanai was great and having pull down blinds was welcomed come 3pm! Our lanai did not have a lounge chair (I understand it will be replaced in the winter), but when I called the woman who manages this condo, she found one for me. I used it everyday, so a big thank you for accommodating my request! We loved this condo so much, we have already recommended it to others going to Maui soon!

A true Mauie beach front paradise.
I found booking with Nohonani Condos Resort on the web easy and when I did have a question, the people I spoke to were kind, helpful and a very upbeat. The Condo was clean and well supplied with all we needed to make our stay... more
comfortable, safe and totally enjoyable. Being right on the beach with all the comforts of home made our trip a dream come true. It is so nice the way it is set up. We came right from the airport and settled in, no hassle checking in... Thanks for making our first visit to the Islands one that leaves us longing to come back. Kathleen Tucker

Fantastic location
This was the first place we stayed in Maui for our honeymoon. We only stayed for two nights before headed out to Hana. Condo 103 is conveniently located in Lahaina. Steps away from the local Farmer's market and minutes drive to Front Street where all... more
the shops and restaurants are. Lots to see and explore in the area but yet not too crowded either. But we were told that July is the low season, which is good for us. My favorite part of Condo 103 is listening and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The pool is literally steps away from our condo and the beach is also about 10 steps away. Great condo and would definitely recommend this place.

Comfy Corner Unit
This is one of three ground floor condos that we rented for our large group. The view was wonderful and the proximity to the water made for lovely sleeping sounds. The location of this unit on the grounds is right next to the beach gate... more
and sand rinse shower, which may be an issue if you cherish your privacy. It was not a big deal for us as we were in a large group anyway. The bed was very comfortable :) I did feel that this unit could have used a deep cleaning, specifically the floors near the refrigerator and in the bedroom.

Had a wonderful time
The condo was great. As noted in previous reviews, it was right next to the pool and shower, but that was no problem for us. We loved the convenience and also, the convenience to washer and dryer. The only thing lacking is air conditioning. The... more
breeze and view were beautiful. The condo nicely kept, but I would have liked air conditioning. However, the price was reasonable so I would probably rent 103 again.

Right on the water!
If you want to be just steps from the sand and surf, this is the condo for you! You can hear the surf both from the living room and the bedroom. The bedroom has its own sliding glass door out onto the lanai. The strip... more
of beach is small but it is big enough to lay out, make sand castles, and do a little beach combing. You can snorkel right at this location when the water is calm and clear. There are sea turtles that make their appearance on a regular basis. We rented gear from a local shop just down the street. Don't bother renting boogie boards, there are some available to use at the condo as well as some pool toys. I took my kids on this vacation so the resort it is great for both couples and families. My kids loved the pool. It is small but clean and well maintained. Note though, that this a one bedroom with a pull out sofa bed in the living room. The Nohonani Condos are just north of Kaanipali Beach, one of the most beautiful and popular beaches in Maui. Lahaina is about a 10 minute drive south. The parking is free and there is Wifi. The sun sets right outside your door to the west. We saw some spectacular sunsets. The outdoor shower is just steps away from your lanai so there will be people using it often. There is no air conditioning, but you will not need it with the ocean breezes. It was nice to have a kitchen because we bought food and prepared at the condo (mostly sandwiches.) I would definitely rent this condo again. You will not believe the location to the water. That is why I rented it and I was not disappointed. Suzie - Portland, Oregon

Turtles and Sun
We spent 11 nights. The location of the condo in the complex is great. It is 10 feet from the ocean. We spent a lot of time sitting on the lanai looking at the ocean, eating dinner, watching the sunset etc... The layout is great... more
for two people. There are 3 Bbq's that were great to cook on. The pool is less than a year old and wonderful. The condo was easy to keep cool. There are several turtles that hang out in front of the condos that are easy to see. Snorkeling is good too. There are two beach chairs and an umbrella that were very handy when we went to other beaches. The onsite laundry facilities were across the hall. There are a few books in the condo. I left a few more. Very relaxing vacation!!! Note: If you want to watch TV this is not the condo for you... the wave noise is too loud to hear the TV...
