Maui Schooner Resort

8/10 Good

"We arrived at 10pm and office closed at 6, so we panicked a bit about how we could check in, but there is a phone on the wall outside the office to call the after hours security, and he was friendly and helpful, and got us our room keys (major relief!). Room is not fancy but very spacious, we had 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Giant bathroom and closet in master, nice king size bed, and black out curtains. Kitchen seemed to be well stocked with essentials but we didn’t use more than the fridge and coffee pot, which they did have basket filters and a few servings of coffee available (could purchase additional). Nice Tommy bahama beach chairs for use, and a cooler, which was a very useful bonus, in the room. In the office you can borrow snorkels, fins, boogie boards, etc for free- also super handy. Tennis court was in rough shape but lots of people out playing on it so I guess was still usable. Beach across from it was not one of those picturesque ones, so we didn’t hang out there more than a quick morning walk. Overall I would definitely stay there again for the price and value. Not too far from airport and other things in the local town- about 10min to grocery store, etc, but we didn’t actually hang around the area much."

RARE, GATED, PRIVATE BEACHFRONT HOME! PRIVATE POOL, 6 BEDS 6 BATHS

10/10 Excellent

"This house was awesome! Host responded promptly when emailed. House was furnished with many things to help us with our stay. The house accommodated my family very well. The pool was wonderful and grandchildren liked all the pool toys and boogie boards to swim in the ocean."

Oceanfront Unit in a Gorgeous Tropical Complex with Beachfront Pool

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this property! Very quiet and the beach is right out front. Loved the balcony beach view. Cute and clean inside with a beautifully landscaped property. Grocery store is nearby and about a 30 minute walk to Kīhei town. Walk the beach to the right about 15 minutes and watch the honu come up on the shore right after sunset. Incredible! I would definitely stay again."

BEST LOCATION IN KIHEI! Incredible Lani, Pool & beach! 2 bd, 2 bath, grd floor

8/10 Good

"Our stay was Jul 9-12 for two adults and one child. Pros: Easy check-in, clean unit, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom layout, walking distance to beach and grocery store. Used the pool and outside shower to rinse off sandy feet and items. Well-stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, etc. host’s responsiveness when I notified her of slow shower drain on my last night.Cons: Slight turn off of being reminded to not waste energy due to high Hawaii electricity costs. Electricity is expensive everywhere. As a person who doesn’t waste energy, I didn’t need a reminder and I also assume the projected use and cost of my stay’s utilities have been factored in by the host. Unhoused individuals along the public street. This may be because there’s an adjacent church that kindly provides a daily meal to those in need. slowed shower drain on last night."

Summer Deal Beachfront Maui Home with Private Pool Sleeps 14 Guests

10/10 Excellent

"This property had everything we could have hoped for. Well maintained and a great location. We were near everything all the shops and restaurants in Kīhei but the house and property feel very private. The sunsets were stunning every evening. Beachfront access was wonderful."
