The suite was well appointed and had everything you would need such as coffee, tea, lots of towels, beach chairs, etc. They have a washer/dryer and dish washer. I especially like staying at VIR because they have free parking which not all the resorts have around that area (the one right next to it charges $15/night) and plenty of it (our friends stayed 4 buildings down and had to park on the street when all the spots were taken). The view was to die for from both the living area and the bedroom. Honestly this suite was so great I didn't want to write a review so I could keep it a secret but the secret is out. The only thing keeping us from returning next year is the low canadian dollar and the price of food in Maui is eye watering.
The checkin process was very easy, the place was clean and very well equipped with multiple fans, towels, beach gear and stocked kitchen. We were able to make our own meals and there was even some Tupperware to store it in. Would definitely stay again, with the unit being the last one down the hallway it was nice and quiet too.
We enjoyed watching the turtles (honu) swimming in the ocean from our lanai. Evening trade winds kept our place cool. The condo provided everything we needed to keep our family happy.
Incredibly clean. Condo is larger than it appears in the photos. We were especially happy with the balcony and the beautiful view. The kitchen and bath area appear newly updated, with what looks like all new appliances in the kitchen. I had read some poor reviews about the "grounds" of Valley Isles Resort and NOT true. The grounds are absolutely beautiful including the lobby which appears to be brand new. Condo has so many amenities; beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, wifi, ice chest, basically everything you need for your trip. Another plus, this is an end unit so with the front door open to allow for a cross breeze, no one is walking by looking in, it's very private.
The only negative... The master bedroom can get quite warm as it does not benefit from the cross breeze. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again, it's lovely!
I will go ahead and get the one negative out of the way - there is no air conditioning. If you are sensitive to that then this might not be a great choice. There are plenty of fans to keep the air moving which made it work for us.
BUT, everything else was fantastic. Gorgeous view over the ocean, nice intimate beachfront to watch the sunset and go for a swim, washer/dryer in the unit so you can pack a bit lighter, full kitchen, snorkeling gear, cooler, etc. I recommend taking the snorkeling gear to Kapalua Bay Beach just north of the VRBO, we swam with several sea turtles!
This condo was great. The breezes that blast through the 11th floor location are the best. We ditched the great little pool to snorkel (with free gear included in the closet) right in front of the condo every day. We saw turtles daily. Calm bay perfect for kids and families. We could walk to Maui Brewing Co, great sushi and local dive bar (with amazing pizza) accross the street. We canât wait to come back!!!
Our trio throughly enjoyed this cute condo. We were originally worried about the lack of AC (resort policy) but with the front screen door and balcony, the cross breeze was refreshing. We loved that this condo had every kitchen appliance nessesary. We made good use of beach chairs, boogie boards, and cooler. Only complaint is the mattress in the hide-a-bed is horrible and springy. My poor friends back was killing her by the end. Other then that, it was great!
This condo in Kahana is in a great location. The ocean view is fabulous and the unit has everything you could want for a vacation stay including a washer and dryer which came in handy. Practically across the street are snorkel and paddle board rentals which this unit is in a great location for these activities. There are also several restaurants within walking distance of the unit. The complex is quiet and clean with a lovely pool which we never even went in because the beach was awesome. I would recommend this unit to my friends and family if they were to travel to Maui. Thank you Tom and Ligia, especially for the accommodation for our last day in Maui.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this condo. The ocean view pictures posted on VRBO are what attracted us and we can honestly say the views were even more spectacular in person and our first words were wow upon seeing the views. The condo was comfortable and well appointed, with everything we needed, including lovely furnishings and art work. We also want to mention how kind and gracious the owners, Tom and Ligia, have been to us, from the time we booked as well as throughout our week long stay. We would definitely recommend this condo and hope we will have another opportunity to stay there in the future. Thank you, Tom and Ligia, for a wonderful experience in Maui!
The condo was everything described and pictured in the rental listing. There were four of us that stayed in the unit and it accommodated all our needs. The views were spectacular! I was looking for a location that was not too congested with other people, but close enough to drive to other towns and beaches and this place fit everything I was looking for. The kitchen was well stocked and having the washer/dryer was a plus. I also appreciated the beach chairs and boards. Overall, the condo was perfect and I would recommend this to others.
Great place. The rental was clean, well appointed with supplies, and the ocean views from the condo are spectacular. Sitting on 11th floor gives a great perspective looking out over the palm trees and green grass to Napili Bay. We arrived late, so having the key code available was super helpful. We really liked the location. Not too busy of an area, but super close to everything. Overall excellent choice.
The apartment was very roomy with a large bedroom and comfortable king bed and the night breezes make for more comfortable sleeping; the sound of the ocean is an added extra. It has a nice bathroom, a washer/dryer, and a bright, tastefully decorated living area and the views from the balcony are spectacular.. The apartment was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. With all the accommodations of home and a location which makes daily travel easy, we would highly recommend this rental to anyone. The ocean is a few steps from the building and the pool is always a comfortable temperature. We would definitely rent with them again
Our trip was AWSOME and our room is always the best. No surprises and very clean and comfortable. We feel right at home. We would never stay anywhere else. We love Tom and Ligia they treat is very good and share their home with us. Thanks Again for allowing us to stay in your lovely condo again.
We were extremely pleased with this condo, its location, how it is furnished and the communication between VRBO, the owners and ourselves. With the main living areas facing the ocean, you get full benefit of the view and the sounds of the surf. With Direct TV and very good internet connections you're always in touch if you choose to be. Close enough to Lahaina and Kaanipali to enjoy them but leave them behind when you want quiet and relaxation. Plenty of services close by including eateries, equipment rental and places to shop for your grocery needs. If you are someone who wants to find something that could be different, you'll find it but that's true with any place including the highest end hotels. We had previously stayed at the Sands of Kahana next door but couldn't find anything to rent for this trip. With the Valley Isle next door we figured, "why not?" and we're really happy we made this choice. Same beach, same ocean, same amenities, just better all around. Take special note of the beautiful photography by Braddah T. We'll definitely be back.
We had a fantastic time in Maui. The condo is perfect, fully stocked with everything you need from kitchen things to beach chairs, coolers, body boards, etc. Most mornings we ate breakfast on the balcony looking out at the ocean and we even saw some turtles. The unit is spotless clean. We slept great in the bedroom with the sound of the ocean and nice breeze. Location is nice, close to everything, a short ride to Lahaina. Thanks again Tom, if we ever get back to Maui we will definitely stay at "Corner of Paradise".
My husband and I recently stayed for 4 nights (it was our honeymoon). Your condo was fantastic, and we thank you for making it available. The view was fantastic - I can only imagine how great it is during whale season. We were impressed by the condo itself - it was clean, colorful, and had everything we needed. I expected to have to buy dish soap and even a cooler, but you had everything. We appreciated the BBQ grills as they allowed us to experience Hawaii from a local level. The location was great - easy travels to Kapalua, Napili, Kaanapalai, Lahaina, etc. In sum, we were lucky to find and enjoy the Corner of Paradise
Our first trip to Maui, and the condo was perfect. Great location with the ocean waves 24/7. Supermarket about 7 mins away, and the breeze in the evening cools off the condo in the late afternoon and throughout the night. We highly recommended this property and if we come back, we will book again. Ahola!
We had an excellent experience at this location. The condo was everything and more that it was made up to be. The view was excellent and the amenities were first class.

Our dream since our Honeymoon here in 1988 was to spend more time in this tropical paradise. We first purchased unit 1101 in 1998. It has been fun and exciting to provide a Corner of Paradise for our guests to enjoy. We hope you can experience this wonder in Paradise that we call home.
We first visited the Valley Isle Resort in the mid 90s. We were first attracted to this beautiful area as we visited Maui many times and stayed here quite often. The tranquility of this place and the friendly people who both live and visit here makes this place truly special.
This resort is located in one of the most convenient places on the island. Nearby Lahaina town, Kaanapali and Kapalua are the most wonderful places to shop, dine and visit. There are so many places in the area to enjoy some of the best island's activities, such as snorkeling, diving, boating and golf just to name a few.
