Must download and pay through an app (PayRange) Opens 8am-9pm. Free parking for one car. Condo had everything we needed for the beach. Umbrella, beach chairs, snorkel gear, sand toys, cooler!! Plenty of bowls, dishes, cups, pots and pans! Everything you need if you plan to cook!! There's also a bbq grill near the pool. I loved this place!! This place did not have AC, but surprisingly it was not hot. Nice breeze and fans in every rooms kept us cool. We kept the windows open. Each condo has their own wifi, fast speed! I will come back again!

We've been coming here since the 80s and not much has changed about this place. It is…read morewell-maintained, considering its age. At some point, the owners sold off each unit and now every unit there is individually owned and managed thru Vacasa . com (at least that is who you end up booking with when you go to Mahina Surf's website to make a reservation. Therefore, amenities will vary by unit. There is a review here from June '23 stating her unit provided everything (beach chairs, cooler, etc.). She was lucky her unit provided that, but those are not standard amenities the property provides. My unit (#221) had some old random pool noodles and boogie board. Maui is gorgeous and this property is just as beautiful in the photos and is right on the ocean, but just know, your beach access is a beach full of rocks. It's not your regular swimming beach. There's nowhere you can take a stroll on the sand. Either way, most ppl will drive to see all the other wonderful beaches in Maui. Units there are only 1 or 2 bed. 2 bed units are all on 2nd floor. You get a full kitchen with standard amenities (dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.) Some units like mine had cooking spices in the cupboards, leftover pantry items like coffee, sugar as well as plastic containers food prep dishes. Property has a nice pool. No umbrellas (they get blown away by wind) there but plenty of lounge chairs and a few tables. You are equipped with ONE set of bath &beach towels & bed linens. That's it. So depending on how long you will stay, you will need to wash. There's co-op machines. Our unit provided about 5 loads worth of laundry detergent & tabs for the dishwasher. You need to be careful and read about what each unit provides before you book, because it tells you. They DO NOT provide any cleaning supplies. SO BRING YOUR OWN. I brought a 3oz TSA approved spray bottle of Formula 409 and Clorox wipes. You will need to clean because of bugs. There's a Safeway (Vons) nearby & a Costco close to the airport. Costco will have the best prices. Also tons of ABC stores (Hawaii-based general store) where you can get just about everything--but EXPENSIVE. The units have louvered windows and a huge glass sliding door to the balcony/lanai so there's a lot of openness, hence bugs. You may find bug traps (ours had them). It's Hawaii, there's bugs. Anyway, you really can't get away with keeping everything closed up because none of the units there have any AC. I went in July and it was quite hot. There is almost always a breeze, so it's tolerable, but just so. I've also been there in November, but that was 20 years ago, so with climate changes, who knows now lol. Vacasa also provided a few hotel-style toiletries like shampoo and lotion, but bring your own from home because buying at the store is very pricey. A small package of baby wipes at the store was almost $10 for example! Nevertheless, it is Hawaii and almost everything will be double if not more than the mainland.

If you are someone who loves the country feel, open space, fresh air, trees, grass, and that calm…read morenature energy, this hotel is absolutely for you From the very front of the property, it feels peaceful, grounding, and welcoming. My other half and I stayed in a one bedroom room in the front with a shared porch, and it honestly set the tone for the entire stay. Check in was smooth and effortless. The front desk girls were wonderful, friendly, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, the place felt very secure. You always hear stories or concerns when staying at hotels, but here I truly felt safe. Safe enough to feel like I could leave the doors unlocked, which I did not because safety always comes first, but the comfort of feeling that way says a lot. Let's talk about the bed because wow. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the sheets were next level. Manaola Comforters Lanai Hotel, you really did your big one here because I slept so good it almost felt disrespectful to my bed back home One of my favorite parts was the porch with rocking chairs. If you want to sit outside, enjoy the fresh air, and just slow down, it is right there waiting for you. Even better, there are steps directly to the outside, so if you want to quickly run to your car, you can. That convenience alone made this stay feel so easy and thoughtful. Your room and your car being right there made everything feel seamless. Now let's talk about the bathroom. First of all, the shower temperature. I wish I had it at home. Perfect pressure, perfect warmth, and the aesthetic was beautiful. Clean, modern, and calming. And now... the toilet. Yes, we are talking about the toilet because it deserves its moment The brand is Toto, and we are officially friends now. The warm seat changed my life. My expectations are now forever altered, and going home to a non warm seat was genuinely disappointing. If you are unsure about the extra settings or not used to them, totally fine. You can use it like a regular toilet. But if you are brave and curious, I highly recommend trying it. I will let you experience that magic yourself. The room also had a really good size TV. You can sign into your Netflix or YouTube, or just watch cable. There were drawers and a good size closet, perfect for a short stay and still enough space to feel organized. Here is where things get really fun. When you first enter the room, there is a small screen that controls everything. And I mean everything. You can adjust your shades from sheer to blackout, control the lighting to be brighter during the day or dim at night, and adjust the temperature for the entire room. The room felt so homey and cozy, yet the technology was very high class. The best part? You do not have to get out of bed to turn off the lights. That alone deserves a round of applause This hotel delivered comfort, safety, convenience, and thoughtful details at every turn. From the nature filled surroundings to the cozy yet modern room, it truly exceeded expectations and I didn't take a lot of photos or videos, but trust me on , Five stars without hesitation. I would absolutely stay here again

The gap between the bottom of the door and the hardwood floors allows noise to easily travel into your room. I was uncomfortable how this hole in the ceiling fan looked like a camera. I told management, however they said it was a remote sensor. Most remote sensors for ceiling fans are in the base of the fan, leaving it out of site. I could just be paranoid, but wanted to note that. Aside from noise and weirdly placed sensor, the decor of the room was great, staff was nice, food was good, and live music in the restaurant was awesome.

It's not now, and I hate to post this great review, cuz then it will be HARDER! I've been thru a lot of managers over the years here. Mostly good, some just shitty and annoying. The CURRENT managers here are HANDS DOWN, the BEST. RYAN AND MALEA. Since they took over, everything has been excellent. The condos have ALWAYS been spectacular. All ocean facing, beautiful grounds, so SERENE and very well kept. Before Malea and Ryan there were issues with accountability when something went wrong in a unit. My last 5 visits, they took care of ANY issue, often when it wasn't their jobs. So- management is STELLAR These condos are ON MAALEAA BAY. The whales BREACH right there. The outrigger club paddles by every morning. Egrets chase the gardeners around. It's seriously paradise. If you like water slides, lots of people- this is not your place. The most people you will see is at sunset when the condo owners all bring there conch shells down to blow for the sunset. It IS a killer location tho. Close to all the Kihei stuff, not far from Lahaina or Paia. 2 pools, 2 groups of condos surrounding each pool. Beach is public but the only people you see are people walking by- otherwise it's quiet. Don't be an idiot, this place is AMAZING. JUST GO. Just not when I want to, DAMMIT!!

It's as if they are taking care of our little home away from home, "a hui hou kakou" (until we meet again). The room had some nice upgrades and was well stocked as always and the common area is like being able to walk out your door to a pantry full of surprises. We enjoy being able to cook in our room so that we don't miss the sun rise or the sun set. This location has the best sunsets! You will get to know the staff as they are all friendly and accommodating. Jose will point out whales that are breaching; Teres will share "love and kindness" by making sure you are comfortable and have everything you need and Wade will make sure everything is in perfect working order. The grounds are pristine with the sound of waves and birds chirping and the ducks will greet you each morning in the plunge pools. It's a place where we can sit for hours whether indoors or outdoors and not feel guilty that we aren't doing something. We come every year in February to celebrate our anniversary. There isn't anywhere else we would want to be. Aloha Bill and Lana Roderick

The house is…read morebeautiful and wonderfully appointed; the bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the living space was thoughtfully furnished. But above all that, three things stood out 1. The host! Claudia was the ideal host: extremely friendly and welcoming, but also happy to let us have our privacy and enjoy the property. 2. The pool! What could be better than a private pool with a view of a volcano? According to my 5 year old, not much! We loved being able to splash and play every day. The house also has a great supply of pool toys (floaties, balls, loungers) available. 3. The fruit! The house is surrounded by orange, lemon, and grapefruit trees, and after a quick tour and instructions from Claudia, we were welcome to pick whatever we'd like. My in-laws were particularly delighted by the chance to have fresh passionfruit. It was an upcountry Maui experience we won't forget.

The house is clean, airy and well maintained (weekly housekeeper). It comfortably accommodated our family of three, with each person having access to their own en-suite bathroom, a saving grace for us! It has a fully equipped kitchen with appliances which I found especially useful for morning smoothies and cooking my own spicy dishes from time to time. The owner very generously invited us to help ourselves to fruit and veggies from her charming garden which we did! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and sprawling. The pool is one of the best we've experienced at a VRBO-expansive-all of us together in it did not feel crowded; it is also comfortably deep enough at almost 8 feet. We got to experience several days of poolside lounging-what would a beach vacation be without this?! The pool swimming also helped us practice getting our strokes down for swimming in the ocean. The owner always made herself available to address any concerns we might have had, very pleasant and friendly. We also felt we had privacy both within and outside, neighbor homes, although relatively close, are still not able to peer in or overhead, a very desirable feature for us. There is not enough I can say about this beautiful home, if anything, we look forward to going back!
