We stopped here on Maui for the final 4 days of a month around Hawaii. We added it as we read articles asking folks to come back. We are so glad we did! This 2 bd, 2ba condo looks straight at the water, is very well appointed for water living (coolers, snorkel gear, beach towels, noodles, chairs), and we enjoyed it all! We spent our days up at DT Fleming Park using the gear from the house and a grocery stop, and we visited a fish market to then grill at the property and eat on our lanai. Complex is about half short term rentals, and half residents. Pool is wonderful. Thank you!

We were very pleased with the Polynesian Shores # 213. It was exactly as presented and was a very clean and peaceful place to spend our vacation. It truly felt like home. The views were incredible, including the many whale sightings right from our lanai. The pool was clean and inviting and a great place to spend a few hours. Turtles came right up on the beach while guests were sitting there. The location was ideal for any island adventures that we went on. We enjoyed meeting Erin who was our neighbour and a permanent resident. It turned out that his mother was from the same small town...

The condo unit was clean and comfortable. We loved the view. We also liked that it isn't one of those condos that is a high-rise with hundreds of people. This was much more quiet and relaxing.

This condo has been partially updated, with a well equipped and pleasant kitchen, reasonable furniture in the LR, nice balcony with a gorgeous view of the ocean and the sunset. There are 3 flat screen TVs and they all worked well. The pool is cool but nice but there is no hot tub, so beware if that is important to you. In the past, there used to be a common use deck down by the ocean which was really lovely in the evening for everyone to gather and watch the sunset. It has had to be removed but the folks there still gather on the lawn to watch the sunset together and to light the tiki t...

We returned to Polynesian Shores after a 12 year absence, and Condo 213 had a lovely kitchen, bathrooms that had been updated, and a great upper loft "suite" for privacy. Having our deck door open to hear the ocean, the birds and to look at Molokai and Lanai all day was amazing. The pool was not heated, which was perfect because you cooled down from the blazing sun quickly. We would look for Honu ( turtles) everyday off of the rocky beach, and you could see snorkelers float by checking out the reef. We did not use the BBQ area, but we did see it get cleaned and it was well maintained. The...

Our family of four had a great time at Polynesian Shores, Condo 213! The pictures and description of the condo are very accurate. The views from the condo are beautiful! There is a nice, small sand beach area right in front. Good spot to watch the sun set! Good swimming, lots of big sea turtles! The closet in the condo had lots of beach items (boogie board, beach towels, chairs, cooler, umbrella) that were great to borrow when we visited lots of near by beaches! One of or favorites was Kamaole Beach in South Kihei. If you do the "Road to Hanna" make sure you stop at Waianapanapa State Park ...

Dealing with the owners was so straight forward and easy. Everything was as advertised and better than we expected. We had great sleeps in total comfort. We still miss the soothing Hawaiian breeze and the stunning sunsets. The condo had an awesome view and great amenities. I loved bumping into giant green sea turtles as I got in to snorkel. Watching whales breach off the coast was a bonus too. Loved this place.

Our two couples had adequate space in this well equipped condo with a view of the whale activity from our lanai. Initially we had problems with two appliances but when informing the owners the new appliances were installed immediately making our stay most enjoyable.

Firstly, the customer service & communication to book this condo was great. Emails were responded to promptly & everything made very easy for payment & checkin, which was great since we are from australia. The condo itself is situated in a very well kept complex with fabulous ocean & island views (of the surrounding islands). The condo was very clean & well equipped. The only downside was that for two adult couples the master room & ensuite is a bit more spacious than the other room downstairs which had twin beds. a very enjoyable stay & great value in Maui!

This condo had everything that you'd find in your kitchen at home- seasonings, blender, ice-maker- lovely granite countertops- and saran wrap. Loved the kitchen water faucet! Condo was very clean -faced the ocean! The location is wonderful- with daily sightings of sea turtles and dolphins. Utilized the gas grill, which made for a homemade meal. Condo can get warm with no air-conditioning, but the fan helped.

We found the apartment clean and well stocked with towels, beach towels, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. The kitchen was well equipped and the filled brita-filter jug in the fridge was a welcoming refreshment and highly appreciated. The road-side sleeping room gets quite hot during the day, as it has all the morning sun and no outside shades - but by bedtime it cooled off again - so no problem. The pool is clean and the water had the perfect temperature. I would choose the same apartment again.

We had a wonderful stay in this excellent 2 bedroom condo which was exactly as described. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped and is situated in a beautiful development on Maui's west coast just a short drive from Lahaina. Both the daytime view from the lanai and the incredible sunsets will always remain in our memories. Highly recommended.

My family and I had a wonderful time at your condo and will definitely return. Coming from Los angeles, it took us a day to get used to no air conditioning, but after that we had an amazing, enjoyable vacation. Wonderful ocean breezes and fans made kept it quite comfortable. The actual view from the condo is even better than the internet pictures. We had incredible rainbows from the balancony. The kids enjoyed the pool, and the beaches in front of the complex were lovely for swimming and great for snorkeling too. No need to go to Turtle City to view sea turtles! Thanks again.

We searched the internet for two months, could have searched another two months and not found a better place to stay than Polynesian Shores unit #213. Internet pictures do not give the unit or or the small condo complex justice.

We have stayed at several places on Maui, but this is the best! Wonderful condo with fully equipped kitchen for cooking. Many extras including beach towels and chairs, boogie boards and kickboards.

Also saw sea turtles swimming in the ocean in front of the complex, and up to 6 at a time sunning on a sandy beach about 50 yards north! In case you get bored watching the whales, the condo has a good library of books, videos, CDs, and games. Excellent laundry facilities on site, with a c...

The unit has everything you'd need in the kitchen, plus extras like games, books, 3 flat screen TVs, etc. People should be aware in advance that there are stairs to the entrance of the unit, plus stairs to the second bedroom and bathroom upstairs.

Very clean, excellent view, quiet, direct ocean beach access, local turtles nearby. This was one very relaxing place. We could have easily spent the whole two weeks of our stay in this unit. No hassle at all checking in. Excellent beaches all along this coast, both North and South, and was easy drive to the hustle and bustle of the tourist strip in Lahaina.

We had a great time in Maui. The condo was just as advertised. Recently updated and had all the cooking tools we needed. Only thing negative is no central air conditioning. Trade winds died a few days before we were there it was a little humid. There were ceiling and portable fans that made it tolerable.

We so enjoyed this beautifully decorated condo. It was the perfect location. The accommodations were outstanding. The grounds and pool were spectacular. We watched the surf each day along with the gorgeous sea turtles. The amenities were terrific. Truly had the aloha spirit. Could have used some a/C a few of the days. The trade winds died down and it got a little warm. Hopefully that will be an addition someday.
