We had a great time here! It’s the perfect vicinity to nice beaches and restaurants while also being away from the bustle. It was so nice to have the beach chairs and lanai access.
The view of the ocean with the swaying palm trees was breathtaking. The condo was very clean. We like the location ; the less congested area. The Seascape and Point Break are excellent restaurants in the area.

The location was good. I would say really look at the pictures on line. We had no place to eat our meals. The two bar stools they had one was broken. For the charge of cleaning it should have been cleaner.
This property is truly such a great location. Comfortable beds, good space, lovely having two bathrooms and comfortable patio chairs to watch the waves.
My only complaint would be that there wasn’t a knife bigger than a steak knife so cutting my pineapple was more challenging than it should have been.
I would also suggest to the company to replace the “cutting boards” and sautee pans as they were on their last legs probably years ago.
The condo was clean and well equipped for our stay. We had beach chairs we could use as well as beach towels, ice packs and a cooler! The swimming pool on the property was clean and very well maintained with BBQ grills available for use. The condo had a great view of the pool and the ocean, and it was awesome to have breakfast on the patio and whale watch. Overall it was a very positive experience, with a nice public beach as well as the Aquarium, and a terrific restaurant and shopping all within easy walking distance. The evenings were quiet and we never really heard any noise from the neighbors. Would definitely consider staying here again.
We spent a lot of time on the balconies. The trees blocked the view some but it was still beautiful.The length of time of the construction was a little deceiving. Because of the holidays we couldn’t get to the other side of the property where the turtle beach was because the construction company had it blocked off. We couldn’t get anybody to open up the gate on the north which gave us the only access to the turtle beach. That little beach was one of the selling points.We had problems with flooding of the living room air-conditioning three times. It might be something you really need to look into. The only suggestions I would have is bath mats and better outdoor chairs for the beach. One side of the bed didn’t go up and down, and we couldn’t figure out how to turn off the fan.The two bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for us.
Overall I liked the property. There were a few issues with cleanliness ( stain on towel/ sheet/ strange smell in some rooms) but overall space was great for a family of 5. Other than minor issues, it was extremely windy part of the island. May be it was just that time of visiting?
Would recommend with above caveats

Description very accurateProperty clean and well maintained. A few things need touchup - bathroom door handle fell off, patio door lock hard to useCBIP folks on the phone, text and folks who delivered items to the unit were all very friendly and helpful. They even came by with a package on July 4th
This two bedroom condo worked well for husband and me and his mom. Be aware that the bathroom is not attached to the master bedroom however; we used command hooks to hang a shower curtain across the doorway. Could have used a laundry basket and a few other little items in the kitchen but overall well equipped. Beds were super comfy! (Same as we have at home). Master bedroom bed is adjustable so nice to raise up for reading.
Lovely location centrally located to all things on Maui.
Pool was heated but not overly so; it was refreshing.

Beautiful views. Great upgraded showers. Bathrooms could use a fresh caulking job but I do not live in a humid state so I'm not sure if it's normal for that to get dirty quick. The air conditioning was amazing! Really appreciated the coolers, Beach chairs, Beach towels, and ice packs that were supplied! The assigned parking spot was close to the elevator which made things easier. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place!
Incredible views from the master and main living area. It is a great location for ready access to so much of Maui.
The area is extremely windy. The adjustable bed was wonderful … the best bed of any rental we have ever stayed. The stools in the unit need to be replaced and the living room rug cleanliness should be addressed. We cleaned the fans (which were incredibly dusty) so that our son could use the spare bedroom (which has no A/C). It was too windy to even use the windows in the second bedroom.
We had a mixed reaction to this rental. Great location, very spacious, beautiful views, but windy and the second bedroom was difficult to use.

Reviewer Comments:
This condo is in a central location on Maui. Most destinations can be reached within a short distance. Access to miles of barely populated beaches just steps away. A perfect place for those who wish to avoid crowds and overpopulated resorts. This condo provides spacious comfort with two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The a/c works great but isn't needed with all windows open. This top floor corner unit has a lanai in the living room and another in the front bedroom that provide views of the property and the ocean. Comfortable beds as well. The only thing this condo lacks is living room furniture. A flattened futon and a worn out, very old filth-stained couch are the only things to sit on. Not a comfortable space to relax in. We covered the couch with beach towels. This is the only reason we wouldn't refer this property to a friend. Surely the high price on this condo allows for a simple furniture upgrade.

Great quiet location.
Loved the condo and the location …quiet area !!! Condo was great, view was amazing !! King bed was super comfortable!! So nice to have a washer and dryer
My family of five really enjoyed our stay here. The view from our unit was beautiful. The unit was conveniently equipped with all sorts of amenities. The king sized bed was the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in. It was great having a designated parking space. Overall this place exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend this place to others. Thank you so much!!!
The property was full of friendly people who were very helpful and respectful. The beach was not crowded at all and you could walk on the beach all the way to Kihea!
Fine overall - though could use some love and attention
Overall, the place was fine, though I doubt we would re-book this specific condo.
We've been to Maui a number of times, usually staying north. This time we didn't stay for very long and I wanted to avoid traffic that can occur from Maalaea to Lahaina. Maalaea is convenient to both south and north - Kihei, Kamaole as well as to Lahaina. The area is reasonably close to the airport and the services the east side of the island as well. The national park to the south is not a bad drive. Also trim some time off going to Haleakala for the sunrise . The Maui Ocean Center is really close by (could walk). The downside is that you don't get true sunrises or sunsets (at least we didn't) as the mountains on either side obscure these events. The upside - TONS of whales breaching and swimming in the bay - TONS. Small area to access the bay at the back of the condo complex. BBQ outside, hose in parking lot to rinse gear/stuff.
Overall flow - fine. There are two rooms with two 3/4 baths. The main bedroom was separated by a movable wall/screen that provide privacy. There was air conditioning in all rooms. There was a main sitting area with 2 couches and a TV. Balcony had the only table to sit at to eat. Inside there are bar counter type seating. Kitchen with fridge/basic pots/pans/utensils.
The condo had a small gift basket of coffee and other treats that we welcomed. The kitchen overall was clean.
We felt that the place could use some TLC and didn't have the most welcoming vibe. The artwork from in the second bedroom had come off the wall and was in the closet. There was a build up of dust along the dust boards and in the corners dirt/dust had built up giving a sense that good thorough cleaning had not been done. Good wall repair and fresh paint would help. We found old food caked on some of the dishware are ended up rewashing the dishes prior to using them.
The vibe was one where I thought this place is being managed for profit. They provided an exact number of trash bags, dishwasher soap, paper towels, that they felt you would need. The toilet paper felt similar to the most inexpensive one could buy on a commercial scale. Kitchen supplies -salt, pepper and that's it. No oil, spices or anything else someone might use. It's a bare kitchen. If you want to cook - suggest you bring everything you might want or be prepared to buy it. There was 1 large and one small cooler. They had 4 beach blankets and chairs.
