Hale Mahina 401 OceanFront 2BD Tropical Getaway

The condo is in a good location, with a great view. The beach is a little bit small and the waves were pretty rough, but with close supervision we managed to have a good time with our two little kids. You might get bored with anyone looking for a real beach who is over 6 years old. But we did see sea turtles everyday who came to rest on this tiny and fairly private beach, so that was neat. The condo itself is a nice layout, and our kids loved the pullout beds. It has great potential. However, the place was in SERIOUS need of a deep clean and minor renovations. The bathroom floors and tubs were freaking nasty!! You wouldn’t believe the brown/orange grime all around the toilets and baseboards, and the tubs had nasty caulk and just need to be retiled so badly. The bathroom faucets were also caked with mineral buildup so badly that they sprayed the mirrors anytime you used them. The rest of the condo was fine and sufficiently clean, but the bathrooms were just unacceptable for the amount of money we paid to stay there. The balcony furniture was also uncomfortable. So as far as location, I’d give it 4 stars. As far as cleanliness, 2 stars. This is why I’m averaging my review at 3 stars. I wouldn’t go back.

The great things: view, location to activities, cleanliness, responsiveness from hosts, cooking equipment/utensils, pool/hot tub area, beach accessories.Not so great things: road noise from the second bedroom that overlooks the parking lot: constant nightly and incredibly loud at times, lots of local looking cars blasting music and revving motorcycles way too loud. Patio chairs don’t match advertisement picture, and are unstable, 1 is broken. 1 of the beach chairs is broken. Only 2 kitchen towels in the whole place, for people who cook a lot and are there for several days, this was annoying. There was only 1 standard size coffee cup in the whole place. The rest were small teacup size. There is very little “private beach” as advertised and pictured, and the waves are not safe for kids. Grassy area is large, but has quite the rocky drop off to the small amount of beach below, with no fence. Not great for small children to be able to run around. I ultimately had picked this place for the “private beach.” Condo is quite a bit smaller than pictures make it seem, no square footage listed on ad. Lastly I had reached out to the host asking if they have a pack n play to which they told me no. I spent 100 on a pack n play rental only to get to the condo and find 2 pack n plays in the closets. Overall the condo was good and I was happy to be in Hawaii. But there were a few quirks about the place that I unfortunately feel made it not quite worth the amount of money paid.

The condo was in good order. It has a great location to the town, beaches and other attractions.

Good communication. Easy instructions. Great view. Awesome Marlin. No complaints at all. Would stay again

Our family of 5, including two very young children, stayed here for a week. The grounds were beautiful and we saw sea turtles in the water and on the beach daily. The location is close to stores and other beaches. One thing to be aware of - this property is very quiet and they do their best to keep it that way. Given the turtles and year round residents, it is understandable. Be aware if you have loud children, this may not be the location for you. No games are allowed in the pool and the sign at pool area for forbids “boisterous conduct.” Reserved children would do well here.

We had a fantastic time at this location; while the actual accommodations aren't exactly the Ritz Carlton, they are more than sufficient, and this place has a view of the ocean and the beach that no Ritz Carlton *I* know of can match - and for the price, there likely are very few locations that are better. We'd absolutely stay here again, without question.

Imagine you can see a sea turtle lying on the beach in front your property everyday. You do bbq next to the beach and listen the wave. that’s what the experience is. Meanwhile, the property is clean, amenities are all there plus a portable ac on the 2nd floor. The property manager is great. They are able to respond back and provide timely support. Kudos to the resident at the Hale Mahina resort also, they are so nice and friendly. They maintain the garden the swimming pool the bbq stove very well.

Hale Marina is fantastic. Quaint, quiet, very relaxing. We have three kids and it was very nice, though I think that if you have very hyperactive kids it may not be the place for you. The condo was very nice. All as described. Nice amenities. Very comfortable. All very clean. Lanai was great. No complaints for us at all, it was perfect. We would come back in a heartbeat.

The condo we rented was clean and comfortable. The view was excellent. Saw sea turtles and whales in the distance.

We've been to big island and kauai several times but this was our first trip to Maui. Overall, beautiful island. We explored quite a bit and really liked the Kihei side the best. The condo had a nice pool/hottub and location to the sandy beach was amazing. The lack of a/c (other than a small portlable window unit upstairs) and essential quite supplies (like tupperware, ziploc bags, ect) was a little dissa[pointing but we made due.
