What more could you want? Whales, turtles 24/7 and the sounds of the waves to help you sleep. Highly recommend.

Loved the quiet area. It was a great central location. The condo was very nicely set up. Saw turtles right out front in the water, and we also saw a monk seal.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I don't think we could have been closer to the water. My husband said that it was actually loud...kidding. The condo is exactly as pictured. Very clean and well-appointed. Communication with the host was fantastic. The condo is very well located. We threw the beach chairs, cooler and umbrella in the rental car and just explored each day. And yes we could see the turtles even from the balcony!!! A++++++

My niece and I stayed at this vacation condo in early September, and it was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and we loved watching turtles swimming in the water below. The condo itself was very comfortable making it easy to relax and unwind. A wonderful surprise was the delicious banana bread in the welcome gift basket – such a thoughtful touch!
The upgraded balcony table, which now seats four, came in handy when family visited one day. And the washer dryer was so nice to have so we came home with everything clean. The manager was immediately available by phone to resolve a minor issue arose. Overall, we had an amazing stay and as we were leaving my niece said we had to return to this unit again! Highly recommend!

First time in Maui and we had the best view!!! Not only can you enjoy the turtles when they come within the rocks below, but you can watch the sunrise every morning from behind Haleakalā Mountain, watch whales breach in the bay in February, and enjoy the sounds of the ocean anytime you desire. Wow! The lanai/view alone was worth the trip! The bedroom windows look out at the green lush west Maui mountain range. The unit was very clean and well maintained. Location was great. We will definitely stay here again!!

The lanai is very peaceful and relaxing in the morning and a perfect location to watch the amazing sunrises. We spotted a few whale flippers. Having binoculars was beneficial to viewing. The place was comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay there. Mahalo.

We have stayed in this area once before and loved the neighborhood and central location. This condo was perfect! Great view, great condo. Everything was very very easy. Condo was well stocked and very clean and comfortable. We will stay here again the next time we are in Maui.

The views were amazing. Almost every day we would see turtles along the shore and whales in the bay. The location was centric for everything we wanted to do. We had a rental car so we had planned to drive to numerous sites. This property provided one parking spot in a parking garage (with roof) which was very convenient. We simply took the elevator from the basement to the 4th floor to reach the property. The property provided plenty of room for us to spread out including our dive gear. The kitchen was well appointed and included everything we needed for coffee in the mornings. Located within walking distance were restaurants, small stores, a gas station, and tours leaving the harbor next door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Turtles as roommates…right in front of the condo.
Excellent location. A bit pricey but worth it!

Everything about this property was a 5 out of 5 stars. The unit was very clean and everything was in good condition. Air-conditioning worked well. Beautiful ocean views and lots of turtles. No direct beach access but the beach is about a half mile away, so short drive or walk. Maalaea harbor is a very short walk away. Property manager was very responsive. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Except for fighting with the sliding screen door it was perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! We saw a whale breach and turtles. The location is central to the island even though there isn't a lot to do in Ma'alea and the and there is not a beach adjacent to the property

The property was perfect for my husband, teenager, and I. We LOVED this location, between Kihei and Lahaina. I already miss watching the sunrise over Haleakala on the lanai. Being able to watch the turtles and whales from the lanai was absolute magic!!

My wife and I stayed in the condo from Dec 28 to January 3rd and I must say the only negative thing is we should have not wasted 5 nights in Honolulu and just stayed there the whole time. Awesome, very central location perfect for driving out for day trips in all directions.
The condo was nice clean and very comfortable and the communication with the property manager was fantastic.
I would definitely recommend this property and will more than likely stay here again. All together it was a great experience.

Condo was good. The unit was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. Loved having AC in living room and bedroom as many locations don't have this. View was amazing. Definitely saw lots of turtles swimming. Building and area is quiet and relaxing.

My husband and I have been coming back to Milowai # 406 for a number of years, we love the AMAZING ocean view from the condo. We 've stayed at other units in this building but since finding #406 we won't stay anywhere else. Chad is very nice to work with and very easygoing.
We love how quiet and peaceful this building and area is , even at the height of the Christmas holidays , where other areas are crowded, noisy and have traffic jams, Maalaea is low key.

We have stayed at this location several times over the years and enjoy the view and central location to either end of Maui. Not a shopping or restaurant destination but has some basic services. The harbor has several fishing, snorkeling, site seeing and excursions that leave from here.
Depending on time of year it can be really windy, but deck is on leeward side from our experience.

We were totally pleased with this perfect condo. Has every amenity you need for your vacation. Could not have been any better. If you're looking for a central location & away from the crowds this is a true gem minutes drive to Kihei & Lahaina or take a stroll to the Marina & Maui Ocean Centre, great gift shops & convenience store all within walking distance. Enjoy happy hour at Beach Bums & some fantastic food!
Mahalo Maui you will never be forgotten ❤️❤️

What a great view, we felt we were on the ocean! The waves were very peaceful and soothing as well. The condo was nice and clean with all the amenities needed for a temporary stay. Sandy's son Chad was awesome and great to deal with . . . mahalo!

Sandy, the owner is wonderful to work with. We did have a small issue when we arrived, but she ensured that it was resolved quickly. The condo’s location is ideal for people that want to explore many parts of the island, and especially for those looking for a quiet area with fewer tourists. It is located within walking distance to several restaurants, the Ocean Center, mini-golf, and the marina. We recommend Beach Bums. It is an easy walk down to a long stretch of beach. Each time we went, there were very few or no other people on it. It was splendid. We took several long walks and even played in the water there.
We did spend one afternoon in the pool, but be warned it is not heated, and even with the warm weather; it was not warm enough to spend very much time in. In fact, the ocean felt warmer than the pool. We didn’t come to Hawaii to enjoy the pool, so that didn’t bother us much.
The view from the condo was excellent. Each afternoon we sat out on the lanai and watched the sea turtles.
Maalaea is very windy, but it helped keep the area cool. It was warm and humid during our visit. The wind also worked well at night, as there is no A/C in the bedroom. With the window open, and the ceiling fan running, it felt perfect!
Overall, we recommend Sandy’s condo. I only wish I had packed less since we had a washer and dryer and needed less than half of what we brought with us.

The condo was mostly very nice. The views were spectacular, you can see turtles and whales easily off the balcony. The parking is nice, elevator is very helpful, and the kitchen is mostly well appointed. The one downside is there was a small rat in the condo, and when I contacted the host she never responded to my emails or text messages. While I enjoyed my stay, the rat was a bit of a downer. As I have friends in Hawaii, I do realize they can get in despite best efforts of owners and tenants to keep them out.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandra's condo. We found it to be very clean, tastefully decorated and exactly as described. We would watch the sunrise's every morning from our lanai. Ate most of our meals out there also. Such a great view of the ocean. The snorkel trip with Aloha Blue Charters was fun and they were very professional!!!! I would go back there tommorrow if I could. Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us.. Ray & Sandy Yost

This unit is just as advertised and then some. It is clean, well maintained and well stocked. The particular area of Maui is very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle. If you are looking for like-home comfort and a quiet place this is it. Owner of the unit is very courteous and helpful with vacation planning and special needs or requests. You will not be disappointed staying here!

This was our first stay in Maalaea and this condo far exceeded our expectations. The owner Sandy was extremely easy to work with and very accomodating. The place was clean, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. The condo has a great view of the Maalaea harbor and Haleakala. We were able to sit out on the lanai and watch mother Humpback whales play with their babies. The sound of the waves crashing was very peaceful at night. The area is quiet, we could go lay out in the sun right next to the ocean with hardly anyone around.
For those wanting to see all that Maui has to offer, Maalaea provides an excellent central point to do it all. In one direction its a short drive to Kihei/Wailea/Makena and in the other direction you can be in Lahain/Kaanapali in no time, plus its only 10 minutes from the airport.
I would highly recommend this condo as its an incredible value and a nice alternative to the crowded resorts. We will definitely be returning.
April 2012
We appreciated very much the localisation of the condo and the marvelous view . We saw whales from the first to the last say of stay. The decoration , the furnitures and the kitchen were excellent.
A lovely place...

This is our 3rd stay in this area and our first at this condo. It was perfect for us. Clean, comfortable and the owner is wonderful. We went out on two evening whale watches which we could walk to as the excursions take off from the harbor close by. Long daily walks and great food. Love this area and plan on coming back to this condo!! Quiet and peaceful here... just what we needed.

My girlfriend and I spent 4 days in this condo 2 weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Sandy was a pleasure to deal with and responded promptly to emails and questions. The condo really was one of the best equipped vacation condos that we have stayed in, everything you need is there and there were a couple of welcoming touches like champagne in the fridge which brought a smile to our faces and gives the experience a personal touch. The condo felt more like a home and had deckchairs, cooler and bits and pieces in the cupboards which you wouldn't want to buy for a few days stay and were really useful. The view from the condo is stunning, especially at sunrise. There was a pool that we didn't use but the grills which are literally feet from the sea were perfect for cooking in. Good secure parking with allocated space close to the elevator. Location is about ten mins from kihei and 10 mins from lahaina so it's a good location but you'll need a car. Would highly recommend this condo if you aren't bothered about being walking distance from the town and would definitely consider staying here again! Thanks Sandy for making our trip to Maui special!

Aloha Sandra, This...just to let you know that we were very satisfied by the renting of Milowai condo. We loved the view from the balcony and found it was a very nice apartment. The welcome drink and coffee was very kind of you and we appreciate your service and will rent your condo again if we get the chance to visit Maui..Regards Tommy

Sandy's Condo...
From the Kitchen - from the Couch and from the Lanai you watch and hear the waves rolling in!
Sandy' is awesome - great wonderful experience. Her attention to detail is by far the best!
The property is well groomed and the beach at the end of the drive goes for miles.
AND the snorkel trip with Aloha Blue - WOW,,, great crew, they made everyone comfortable! Even have wet suits for rent for only $10.
Thank you Sandy for a fabulous stay!
April 2011
We stayed here for a week in April 2011 and we will stay here again. This condo is exactly what you see in the pictures with the added benefits of covered parking and a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle of the high tourist areas. This condo is very well maintained and clean, from the moment you open the door you feel right at home. The only noise you hear are the waves hitting the shore. We watched the boats coming and going from the harbor while BBQ'ing dinner at the waters edge. We will definitely recommend this condo to our family and friends.
Sandy, your attention to providing a great vacation rental far exceed most.
Mahalo!
