Oceanfront Studio Condo on Kahana Beach, Maui

Good value for the money.

If you are wanting to experience a vintage vibe then this is the place for you. We felt like we were in the 80’s / 90’s with the dark decor and styling throughout. On the initial face of it the place looked clean but on closer inspection, the bathroom and kitchen were in need of a deep clean, especially the utensils and multiple touch points with visible grime. The shower unit was a bit dirty and the shower panel doesn’t stop water going all over the bathroom floor. The floor tiling in the main area was uneven and visibly dirty through inadequate cleaning. The lighting was poor especially the dusty ceiling headlamp that my husband kept being hit by when within the vicinity of the sofa. Whilst the photos reflect the facilities they do not reflect the ambiance of what felt like a dark and oppressive room. The appliances in the kitchenette are dated and rusty and appear not to be working efficiently as per the usage instructions for the fridge/freezer. Be prepared for little sleep if the weather turns windy as the double glazing is poor and you will hear the howling through the night and day. The condo is in need of a refurbishment and a deep clean. We have stayed in other self catering properties on Oahu and they are leagues ahead for the same pricing that include parking. On a positive the room has great views of the ocean where you will see whales during the winter season. I would recommend that you take/hire binoculars to whale watch, it is addictive!

The good: The view is excellent The bad: We rented this unit because the listing said they had AC. The AC didn't work properly. We let the property owner know and she told us to call the managment company. We called and they sent someone out. They said the AC needed repair and AC tech. The property owner sent us a message apologizing but said she couldn't get an AC tech within the next 2 weeks. That wasn't acceptable and I let her know. She offered no concessions.

Great place to stay and very convenient location to many excellent restaurants

Great stay

This was our second stay in Karla’s condo and we have already booked 2 weeks next year. The unit has amazing views from the lanai and there is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the waves. It’s very clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The complex itself is very well-maintained and has a great pool with plenty of chairs and a small workout room. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The property is just as it is shown in the pictures. It was equipped with everything we needed for our 10 night stay. We never needed to contact the property manager during our stay. The appliances and lighting could use some updating. Really nice having laundry facilities right in our room. The location was perfect. With-in walking distance to groceries and restaurants.

This is the perfect little place for a couple. It had what we needed but could definitely update the kitchen, lighting, appliances, hair dryer. I would also suggest to add some beach chairs and boggie board to the property.

This condo was a great base for our Maui adventures. We loved the location- easy to find with an incredible ocean view. Great for watching whales anytime of day! The condo was nicely furnished and had almost everything we needed. Only things we were lacking were a coffee pod maker and a pizza cutter, but we made do. Other than that, we were happy. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent location, I've stayed at this building before. Quiet area and this condo had everything I needed. Check in process was smooth, the building employees were all very kind and courteous. My favorite part was that spectacular view from the lanai! I was watching the whales during the day and it was magical. Of course I was there during prime whale season. I imagine that during the summer the sunset views are probably ideal. Stay here, you won't regret it!
