Oceanfront, beautifully upgraded, unit with tranquility in mind; a lovely match with the resort’s laid-back vibe. It is beautifully done with custom cabinetry and granite in the full kitchen, and quality solid furniture all over. PLUS three split AC units. Bedrooms have one king bed and 1 queen bed; the bathrooms are equally lovely. (A sofa sleeper in the living room makes the unit suitable for up to 6 guests.) There’s a large flat-screen cable TV, high-speed internet, and free WIFI for times you want to relax after a day of sun and adventure. Prep meals in the gourmet kitchen to dine on the lanai; the views of the grounds and pool are great in themselves, but attain new heights with the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and Haleakala. | | Outside is an oceanfront pool, two BBQ stations, and lounge chairs people line up so they can watch all the activity in the bay, from harbor boats to outrigger canoes to surfers and paddlers. And in winter, Humpback Whales settle in for their own Maui-time; keep watch for some blowing, breaching the surface, and other acrobatics. The reef in front of Ma’alaea Kai is home to a population of some quite hefty Hawaiian Sea Turtles; you will see them here, bobbing in the surf. | On days you are not venturing forth to other points paradise, stay local and take a stroll down Sugar Beach, an undeveloped 2.5-mile sandy stretch that ends at the north edge of Kihei. Explore Ma’alaea Harbor and Shops on another day you choose to relax close to home base. Book a couple of ocean adventures here, shop, dine, or visit the Maui Aquarium to learn about Hawaii’s marine life; it is home to one of the world’s largest displays of live Pacific corals. | | Ma’alaea Kai is just a 15 to 40-minute commute to the natural beauty and wonders of Maui.

Great 2BR/2BA CONDO. Incredible views and whale watching daily. The Humpback whales put on a great show for us. The unit is super clean and nice set up. Pictures don’t do it justice. The colors and decor are a little outdated but still in excellent condition. The mini split AC units are quiet and wonderful and there’s one in each room. Kitchen fully equipped and cabinetry was beautiful and lots of extras left For use like spices and utensils. Beds were very comfortable. Lots of extras like coolers and beach chairs left for our use. Elevators and the common areas were clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this condo and I would rent again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at this condo multiple times due to cleanliness, location, scenery, quiet and central on Maui. Resident manager and his crew can be seen daily keeping the building in great shape. BBQs are kept impeccable. We love having dinner in the deck overlooking the bay and watching the turtles. 15 minute drive to Kihei, Kahului or Lahaina. Beautiful and relaxing!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay. The best part was the view from the lanai. The bedroom also has the same view. It's a 3rd level condo. The property was wonderful. The kitchen was nice and my family enjoyed that AC was available. It was nice that an umbrella, beach chairs and towels were provided. We also really appreciated the soft sided cooler and used it every day to carry a picnic lunch to the beach. The snorkel sets were nice but the masks let water in and only one has the attachment that connects the mask to the breathing pipe, so you will need to rent your snorkel gear if you want a good snorkeling experience. It was nice that salt and pepper and olive oil were in the kitchen. We could have used a couple extra blankets at night, as the bedspreads are very thin. Confirm your checkout time ahead of time. Our book said 11 am but then we received a message saying the housekeepers were waiting or us at 10 am. Laundry facilities are on the same level at the opposite end of the complex.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are a family composed of middle-agers, college students and teen, and everyone had an excellent time in this space. The sunrise and the mountain-ocean combo view each morning keeps us speechless during our breakfast in the balcony. The common areas of the complex are clean, but there was no sight of the "manager" who we tried looking for during the whole trip (for registration procedures stated in the instructions). We personally loved the location because it is away from the traffic-causing hustle and bustle of the west and south sides of the island. There's only a few food establishments but that hasn't been a problem since we had a car and were out all day till evening. I found the location central and an easy starting point to travel to other parts of the island. The unit is clean and equipped with essential cooking and dining supplies. Please check out all the closets upon arrival because there's a few gears for renter's use such as cooler, floaters (we weren't able to use because we saw them when we were checking the closets before we left). The laundry/drying machines were easy to use ($) and were a big help. The parking space though could use a little widening.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was in a great location: a few minutes drive from either Kihei or Lahaina. And a short walk to one end of Sugar beach at Haycraft Park. The condo had beach chairs and umbrellas. The condo also had a good selection of cooking implements and sharp knives in the kitchen. We were able to see turtles (at high tide) and whales out in Ma'alaea Bay. All in all and great stay for two weeks.

Clean and everything that you need is in condo. Parking spaces are tight, might not be able to get everyone out on both sides we you are between two cars. Close food & beach to walk to.

It is also centrally located so it is easy to get to the north and south beaches and cities. I will definitely be returning in the future.

Extremely clean, and the grounds were well taken care of. The homeowners in the condo unit were exceptional and we felt very safe with our little ones running around. It is an excellent location for getting around the island. We could see the turtles right off the property and beach access was very close. Will definitely be coming back to stay there again.

My parents and I really enjoyed our stay in Maalaea. The condo is really well laid out with all the amenities provided. Most of our time was spent on the lanai with its amazing views of Maalaea Bay. We really loved the condo and would not hesitate to book there again.

Parking is assigned but very tight. Typical for Maui. Great location. Could see the turtles swimming from the balcony. Reported some minor pre-existing conditions and they sent someone over right away to handle them. It was nice although not my intention to have them repaired right away. Just wanted to report them so not to be blamed for them. Overall excellent stay.

Condo was great for a family vacation. Great location on Maui, beautiful grounds, well equipped if you want to cook your own meals. Plenty of beach gear in closet. Enjoyed morning coffee on lanai and heated pool. Easy walk to marina restaurants (try Tante's) and public beach.



August 2021
Property is perfect for family that wants to experience the whole island, as it is close to all. Day snorkel trip should be booked out of Maalaea Harbor as you are less than a block away. Air conditioning is slow to cool, breeze in afternoon helps to cool off the unit. Lanai is perfect for coffee in the morning and dinner in the evenings.

The unit itself was good for a group of 5. 2 full rooms with bathrooms and a couch that folds out. Good AC, good view of the ocean. However, the cleanliness of the spot left a bit to be desired. The towels I used seemed to not be the cleanest. One had hairs all over it and felt damp or dirty. Another one even had dried blood on it. I ended up getting new towels at Target for the trip, and pick up additional TP/paper towels while you're there. I appreciated there was cheap laundry on premise that accepted cards too.
