This property is temporarily not accepting guests.
The building was spared in the August 2023 Lahaina fires, but the property has suspended operations while the surrounding area recovers. Check the operator's website for reopening updates before planning a stay.
We've left this page online as a record of the property — ratings, photos, and details below reflect the property as it was before closure.
The HawaiiGuide Read: Luxury beachfront residences at Lahaina's northern edge near Mala — a property that survived the August 2023 fire while the town around it burned. The file is tiny (around 4.6 from roughly 30 reviews), and the area is still rebuilding; confirm current availability and surroundings when you book.
Best for: travelers who want full-residence beachfront and understand what staying beside an active recovery means. Skip it if: you want a buzzing resort setting — this corner of Lahaina is quiet for heavy reasons.
How we write these: we look at the performance data across the whole spectrum of Hawaii properties — guest ratings, review patterns, location, value — and tell you our honest findings. Some booking links earn us a commission at no cost to you; the read itself isn't for sale.

Trades are breezy right now with scattered showers on the windward side and mountains; the leeward coast stays mostly dry. Tomorrow stays breezy with the same pattern.
A tropical disturbance southeast of the islands is likely to become a tropical storm by mid-week and approach the state Thursday through Saturday. The exact track is still uncertain. If it comes closer, expect heavier rain over a longer stretch; if it stays farther out, impacts will be shorter and lighter. Winds will increase late this week, with potential gusts over 70 miles per hour on the highest summits.
Plan your leeward beach time and snorkeling for today through Tuesday. Save summit drives and offshore water sports for after Saturday, and check updates daily as this develops.
