This rare ocean-front condo is stunning! Listen to the sound of the ocean from the comfort of your home, while watching whales (Dec-April) and Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles all year long!
Located a five minute walk from boats, Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, shops and restaurants at Maalaea Harbor!
The condo offers a fully stocked kitchen—convection toaster oven, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, and full size fridge. Washer and dryer.
The bedroom offers a beautiful teak King-sized bed, ample closet space and the tiled bathroom offers a large shower.
Remodeled and updated, 20 feet from the water! Designed for beauty and comfort, there is an air-conditioner, comfortable couch, pillow top queen-sized bed, large tiled shower, TV, WiFI, and lovely lanai with table and chairs. DID I MENTION THE VIEW? The view is enchanting! You simply cannot get closer to the water without jumping in!
Condo is located on fourth floor (elevator access) with 180 degree, unobstructed ocean views!
Ma'alaea is soooo conveniently located! Just about 12 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Costco, 15 minutes to Kihei, 25 minutes to Lahaina and 10 seconds to the ocean! Great surfing and snorkeling right out the front door, a long, beautiful beach for walks, shops, restaurants, the aquarium, and snorkel/dive boats, fishing boats, sunset cruises—all just five minutes away. There is a sweet little beach park just a five minute walk down the road. The Island Sands complex offers a pool as well!
Located off the the hwy, on a relatively remote beach where you will see almost no one else.
There is no more sugar cane on Maui so any write ups you may have seen about the inconvenience from burning sugar cane no longer happens!!
The view includes: watching the sunrise —or moonrise!—over Haleakala, gazing out to Molokini Crater, watching the sunset off of Kahoolawe, boats coming to and from the harbor, surfers at "Freight Train" surf site, Humpback whales from Dec. through April, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles all year long! It truly is magical, mesmerizing and ever-changing!
We live about 30 minutes away and are happy to greet you in person if need be, however, we are all set up for self-check in so you can get in easily. We are always a phone call or text message away if you need absolutely anything. Our goal is for you to have a great stay, so please let us know personally if we can do anything to improve your visit while you are here. There is also an office manager on site in case of emergencies.
Maui is best accessed by rental car as it gives you the most freedom to explore. however, there is a bus service that goes to Ma'alaea harbor. You can walk to shops, restaurants, great beach walks, boats, live music....all within minutes once you have arrived.
If you want to split up your Maui experience between the ocean and the forest/lush upcountry experience, we have a charming cottage (Gingerbread House) upcountry in Makawao, as well.

Property was in the perfect location. It was in a quiet serene area with breath taking views away from the tourist hotels. My family and I made wonderful memories this week on our snorkeling and scuba trips. We also saw sunrise at Haleakala and sunset at Kahekili Beach. It was awesome!

The outdoor furniture worked great and loved the pull down shade to filter the sun when needed. We saw a lot of turtles just from our lanai and the loved the view. It could use more cups and glasses but the set up and the location of the condo are great. We would stay there again.

The condo is updated and comfortable. Had more amenities than I was expecting, beach chairs, snorkel gear plus nice kitchen supplies. Other guests in other units very friendly.

My wife and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary during our stay and we could not have had a better experience. The location is 15-20 minutes from the busier towns and nightlife, but we were always excited to get back to our quiet corner of the island. We utilized the snorkel gear on days we were not out on some other amazing adventure. The place has enough amenities allowing us to cook many meals and enjoy dinners on the lanai with it’s spectacular view of the ocean. We often lost count of the numbers of turtles we saw in the mornings and evenings. We would not hesitate to stay here again when we return to Maui. Eve was a fantastic communicator, keeping us updated on inclement weather one evening and checked on us halfway through our stay for any needs etc. If you are looking for a bit of peace and serenity away from other tourists, we highly recommend staying here! Thanks again, Eve! Mahalo!

This condo was perfect for our trip. Clean, comfortable, and with everything we needed. The lanai sits just above the water and we loved watching the many turtles swimming. The location is a bit secluded and therefor without the busy traffic found in other areas. But it's also centrally located and easy to navigate to shopping and areas of interest. This one is a gem.

This condo was a lovely place to end our Hawaiian vacation. The views from the lanai were gorgeous, and the space was well-kept and clean. Our only issue was that the air conditioner was in the living area, so we positioned fans to try to get cool air in the bedroom. I think the temperature was a little unseasonably warm while we were on the island, but it certainly didn't ruin our time. Thanks so much, Eve!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo located at Maalaea Harbour. The hosts were wonderful, messaged us with weather conditions and other points of interest. The condo itself was spotless and well equipped with anything we would need, including beach chairs. We would recommend this condo to family and friends, especially if they are there to whale watch or are looking for turtles. You can do it all here. Would recommend a rental car.

Just home from a lovely week in Maui. The condo is exactly as described with the lanai offering heavenly views of the stars, the sunrise, sea turtles, and of course, the whales. We saw them almost non stop. They are visible to the eye, but bring your binoculars to get an even better view. The location is super convenient as we stopped at Costco and purchased items on our way from the airport, cooking a couple of meals on the nice Weber grills by the pool. We walked to the harbor multiple times to shop, eat, and catch a couple of tours. Excellent meals at Tante (catch happy hour for great prices) and Seascape. Eve was great, checking in on us occasionally. I would definitely stay here again. Mahalo to the hosts!

We were scheduled to arrive in Maui late on a Sat evening and Eve was so helpful in proactively contacting us to ensure we were going to be comfortable for checkin. Great location, truly saw more than 30 whales from Lanai first day. Condo is well appointed, great for cooking, comfortable furniture, terrific ventilation for cooling down, and awesome hosts. We would highly recommend!

Cleanest property we’ve ever stayed at. View of the ocean is beautiful, lots of turtles always swimming around. Good central location - 15 to 20 minute drive from several popular areas (Kihei, Lahaina, Kahului). Hosts checked in on us a few times and were quick to respond to questions. Definitely recommend this property.

This condo was well stocked. All the kitchen appliances and utensils you'll need. The air fryer was particularly handy for us. Plenty of beach toys... 2 chairs, umbrella, 2 snorkle sets, 2 boogie boards, and several sand toys for kids. The condo is centrally located in Maalea which made it short trip in any direction. There's a great view from the condos 4th floor which is right on the beach. A nice perk is that the owner's have their renters leave any none perishables they don't want behind so others that follow can enjoy them. At night, we got hooked on the series Bloodline while taking advantage of the streaming services available in the condo. Eve was a great host and very responsive. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend a stay at their condo! Mahalo!

Highly recommend staying here! The property was quiet, peaceful, and clean. It was the perfect distance between LaHaina and Wilea and super convenient coming from the airport. Eve was such a wonderful host and so thoughtful to our needs. The lanai was heaven to sit out on and watch the waves roll in. We even got to see a few turtles! Thank you Eve and Steve for a wonderful vacation. We will be sure to be back.

We chose this property because it was sort of "in the middle" and was a reasonable driving distance to everything we wanted to do on the island. Little did we know that the view would be so incredible and we would get to watch turtles feeding right below us every afternoon. We attempted the AC with the fan the first night, but quickly realized that opening all the windows was the way to go because there is such a great cross-breeze that flows through the unit. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here!

We were here for a quick island-hopping vacation. For those unfamiliar with Maui, Maalaea is a very central location to Lahaina, Kehei and Paia. It is great if you plan to go all over, like we did. As far as convenience to walking to dinner or anything else, this is not your prime location but it’s nice for us to getaway from that aspect. The condo was great, though blackout curtains/blinds and a AC unit would be lovely in the bedroom. The balcony is private and beautiful as we enjoyed the sunrise every morning while watching the honu surf the shore break a whale breeching our last morning there. Maalaea always seemed to be much windier than Lahaina or Kehei. Overall, great rental. Eve was a great host and was very helpful in her communication.

Loved this condo location right on the ocean. Whale watching from the lanai. Perfect for the two of us. It was windy only the first day we were there out of four days.

We've been to Maui a hand full of times and this unit has been one of my favorites by far. As soon you open the door, you can see the beautiful view of the ocean off of the lanai. We were greeted everyday with turtles right below. A lot of our evenings were spent out on the lanai soaking up that view. Eve (host) truly cares and wants you to have the best experience possible. This unit has AC but we didn't have to use it once. The cross breeze was enough to cool the living room and bedroom all day/night long. Everything was extremely clean and organized. Well stocked as well. This place had everything we needed, plus more! toiletries, sunscreen, kitchen supplies, spices, beach chairs, plenty of towels. We didn't travel with children but this place had items to accommodate. (beach toys, stroller), plenty of books to read. We didn't have to contact Eve at all since everything was new and worked well. The bed and pillows were so comfy! (still on the look out for those pillows! I can't find anything here at home that compares). The charm that this place has made it really hard to leave. Thank you for going above and beyond Eve! You helped make this trip a memorable one. We will definitely be staying again soon. Maybe at your upcountry cottage next time for a change of scenery. You know how to spoil your guests. :)

The view, the turtles right outside, the central location on the island, the provided beach chairs, cooler, snorkeling gear, etc. Everything is great at this place. We would definitely recommend staying here!
