About this property

Our little piece of paradise has been remodeled, giving you the comfort of an updated kitchen and bathroom with a beautiful open look. We also have new furnishings, including a sleeper sofa that has a 6 inch memory foam mattress that is actually comfortable to sleep on!

Our condo is at a beautiful beachfront/oceanfront location (seasonal sand levels) within walking distance of shops, a farmers market, a natural market, the BEST coffee shop, and restaurants. In the Winter and early-Spring you can see the whales from the comfort of the lanai, and the monk seals and turtles are always a treat when they pay a visit throughout the year. Just 12 steps from the edge of the semi-private beach, you can float on the ocean water, see the delights of snorkeling, bodyboard, or simply catch some rays. When we first came across this condo, we were awestruck by the view.... and we know you will be, too!

This condo has one separate bedroom with a king bed along with a sofa bed in the living room that can sleep 2 extra people. There are ceiling fans, but with the blinds open on both ends, the wonderful Hawaiian breezes flow through to keep it very comfortable inside.

We are just a few short minutes to world-class golf at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and Lahaina Town is only 5 miles away. This is the perfect condo for families and honeymooners alike. We know you'll be in heaven at our condo in paradise!

Perfect location!

What an amazing place to stay! With the ocean steps away from our patio, we saw turtles and whales spouting from far away. The sunsets were absolutely fantastic - so many pictures. The condo was perfect with all it's amenities making it feel like home. Waking up each morning and making coffee and sitting outside with the view was the highlight of the trip :)

Amazing oceanfront condo

We loved staying at Matt's place. It has amazing views. We saw whales and turtles swimming by. The neighbors are amazing. Matt is a great host and was always in touch throughout our stay. Would def. recommend his place. As other reviews mention, it might be little noisy if you are a light sleeper, but closing down all the windows reduces the outside noise a lot and would not bother you!

Condo very well equipped!

We loved this vacation spot. From coffee on the lanai each morning, margaritas in the afternoon, turtles by the sea wall, and a short walk to “the best cinnamon buns on Maui”, we had a great time. The condo was in a perfect location as we didn’t drive. A 20 minute walk got us to restaurants, grocery stores, and souvenir shopping. The condo had everything we needed.

The property was nice, and affordable for the location and time of year we stayed. The kitchen is very well outfitted and having laundry in the unit is great. There is no air conditioning but that's not a big deal, just opening the windows and patio door lets the ocean breeze in and everythings good. This is a first floor unit and the ocean waves are thirty feet from the patio, the constant sound of the ocean might not be for everyone but I loved it

Great getaway

We wanted a place right on the ocean so we could hear it and see it. This oceanfront did NOT disappoint. Nope, no beach, but it's winter in Maui and this time of year the ocean is strong and takes the sand with it. It didn't matter that there wasn't a beach here, we were still able to travel just down the road and there was beach for us to layout on and play in the water at. The condo gives way to an amazing view of two other islands and we saw many humpback whales (bring binoculars) and sea turtles from the lanai. Everyone was compliant with the quiet hours, so no noise complaints. The condo is located close to shopping, dining and the beach. Great sunsets. Matt was prompt in responding to any questions I had. Would highly recommend and stay here again.

Awesome - we will be back!

Everything was as described or better! We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day. It is perfectly located and right on the water. We prefer to stay in a smaller complex rather than one of the bigger resorts and this was the best yet. 3 minutes to Nipili Market, 20 minutes to Honolua bay, 10 minutes or less to Nipili and Kapalua Beaches, the Gazebo, etc. Perfect!

Awesome condo on West Maui

Great ground floor unit right on the ocean in west Maui. We loved the location (Honokowai/Kahana/Nipili) and the lovely sunsets, and swimming/snorkeling in front of the unit. Unit was in good shape and very comfortable for 2 people. Highly recommended.

Awesome view, quiet but no beach

Good place to stay for few days. Quiet with awesome view especially at sunset. I put 3 stars for accuracy of online listing because I expected to have the beach in front of the property but this is not the case. There is an access to the ocean but no dry sand. Also be aware of the strong current and rocks. Pool is heated and good place to relax.

Wonderful, relaxing stay!

Really enjoyed the location -- so fun to watch the whales from the lanai while eating my meals. While there's no traditional beach at the condo, the lounge chairs along the seawall were great for catching some sun. When I got too hot, I'd go down the stairs to get in the water (and snorkeled with a couple sea turtles right there). Trips to nearby beaches were easy, too, and I took advantage of the beach chairs, mats, and cooler that were in the condo. Condo itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. Had a few small issues (dishwasher and icemaker were both out of service during my trip; struggled a bit to line up the back slider to get it locked/unlocked), but the pros far outweighed the cons.

Wonderful Stay in 108

We arrived to keys under the mat- perfect for after hours arrival! The condo was so cozy and perfect for the 2 of us. Very clean and well stocked. We loved watching the sunsets with the neighbors each night. All the little crabs on the beach, turtles swimming by and geckos on the patio! The coffee shop down the road is perfect walking distance to the best coffee! The Fish Market was our nightly dinner pick up for a patio dinner! We loved the sound of the waves all day long, with quick access to down town Lahaina for shopping! Would absolutely stay here again! Beach front without resort chaos . This place has a special little magic about it that I hope it never loses!

Nice location, sadly no beach in winter

Beautiful location, nice linens, comfy master bed - even pull-out matress was comfy. Watch the waves crash into the sea wall from the living room, but In winter, the water is too high for any beach. While location is lovely, the condo needs a thorough cleaning (sticky cabinets and knobs from years of kitchen grease, dirty walls that need washing and a fresh coat of paint, chipped floor tiles, etc.). The toilet broke and Matt was fantastic to work with. He had someone out immediately to fix it (which was good since there’s only 1 toilet). Loved our stay, but after a week, I seemed to see more areas that need attention/cleaning/repair which doesn’t feel great.

Home Away From Home

The checking in process went smoothly. We arrived to Hawaiian music and an amazing view of the ocean from this ground level unit. We immediately felt relaxation. The location makes you feel like you are out of the hustle and bustle of the city, but also have access to grocery stores and food not too far away. Just down the street, we enjoyed Papa O'Hana's Cinnamon Rolls (get in line early!) and Dole Pineapple Whip at a local Mediterranean restaurant. There is also a large food truck park set up for local feast and fun. With that said, we enjoyed many a meals in and used the gas grills to grill steak at "home" and enjoyed eating dinner in the cool of the evening. The condominium units are mixed use between short term rentals to seasonal owners. This was a plus as we felt welcomed by the "locals" and they taught us customs like the conch shell sunset ceremony. We felt like we belonged there, hence "home away from home." In fact, we ended up adding 2 more days to our stay because we just weren't ready to go home! Matt contacted us a couple days in to check to see how we were doing. They were easy to get a hold of if needed. He was very accommodating and kind. Activities we enjoyed were the Road to Hana and Volcanic National Park (both about an hour drive to the start of the drives, we just planned for an all day event), to swimming in the ocean in front of the unit at low tide, even swimming with the sea turtles. A must stay! We are hoping to go back again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Miller

We both grew up in Washington and absolutely share a love of the beach. Watching sunsets over the water, floating in the water, soaking up the sun.... that's what we love in Hawaii. Our teenage kids are no different. We are so happy to share our paradise home... from our family to yours!

Why they chose this property

We knew we wanted a place where we would want to retire to eventually. The northwest coast of Maui is simply the most beautiful spot in the world for us. We then wanted something that was right on the ocean that was quiet with a true Hawaiian feel. When we came upon this condo we absolutely fell in love with it and the location... right on a beach, literally 12 steps off of the lanai. We have found paradise!

What makes this property unique

We love the fact that we have a beach directly in front of us that gives us all of the unique opportunities to snorkel and bodyboard right there. There is nothing like sitting on our lanai in the early morning, sipping on our coffee or tea, watching the sun rise behind us and cast a sunny glow on both Molokai and Lanai and lighting up the ocean directly in front of us. It's simply amazing!
