While I’m sure some may enjoy an artsy retreat, we found the accommodation to be crowded & challenging to find room to place our suitcases.

Just a walk to the Maalaea harbor and boat excursions. Barbara is quickly available if there are any issues or questions!

Stayed here for 4 days with family. Great view out the balcony. 20-25 minutes from airport and other attractions but walkable to Maui Ocean Center and molokini snorkling check ins.

We had a great time! Loved the central location and it is very quiet here. Maalaea Bay Harbor has some restaurants and shopping. Almost all of the water tours leave out of that harbor now. I loved laying out watching the boats go in and out of the harbor. The Maui Ocean Center is within walking distance along with the harbor and also putt-putt golf. Tons of turtles eating by all the rocks in front of our place, can just sit and watch them for hours. Had a great time, got to explore the whole island! Thanks Craig & Lisa

We were celebrating my friend’s second remission after her chemotherapy treatment in April and my birthday. The condo was amazing. Clean and as advertised. The location was super. It was great to be able to see and hear the ocean from the condo. Met some lovely owners at the pool and barbecue. Both the property manager and owner were very responsive and very helpful. Would love to be able to come back again. Thank you Terry for sharing your amazing home.

We knew from the moment we walked in that we chose the right place to stay! The condo is beautiful and the view is incredible! We loved watching the sea turtles from the lanai in the early afternoons. We could also clearly see Mount Haleakala in the background. The condo was well appointed and had everything we needed. Communication was excellent as Terry or her assistant, Joanna, responded immediately to any questions we had. The condo is centrally located and is 15-20 minutes from the airport, Lahaina, Kihei, and Paia (start of Road to Hana) which was great for us as we spent time in each of these locations. It is also located within walking distance to Boss Frogs (snorkel rental), Maui Ocean Center (nice aquarium), and Hula Cookies & Ice Cream (yummy ice cream sandwiches). Overall, we loved our stay here and would definitely love to stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in November. Everything was perfect. The condo was exactly as described. The winds off thep water were so nice we didn't even need the airconitioning, and it was 83 degrees most days. Communication with the owner was seamless. We walked to small shops and to a snorkling adventure. We met some very nice neighbors who made us feel right at home. We went on a rappeling trip and a hike thru the bamboo forest to swim in waterfalls. We went golfing. Everything we did was within 15 mins of this wonderful condo. Our bucket list is complete thanks to being able to stay at this awesome condo!

Having a balcony overlooking the ocean was incredible; the view was wonderful. We liked the location, which which made going either north or south easy. Morning walks along the beach to the park or the wharf was great. Everything we needed was supplied, and the beds were very comfortable.

This was our 2nd stay this year at this top floor condo! From the moment you arrive you'll be captivated by the beauty of the island, and this condo is the perfect base to explore it. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to prepare meals. One of the highlights of the condo is the private lanai, where you'll spend mornings with your coffee while watching the sunrise over Haleakala.

The property is in an ideal location ground level 20 feet from the ocean! Beautiful views of the harbor, Haleakala, Molokini, and more. Multiple turtles right in your back yard, gorgeous sun rises, and sunsets. The beach park 5 minute walk is fantastic. The harbor is 5 minute walk to a great island store, aquarium, pacific whale foundation, and more:) Hosts were great! Highly recommend a stay here. Aloha, Kevin &Sharon

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 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!

November 2023

PROS: The view - oceanfront so the constant sound of the waves is soothing. One of the most gorgeous views to wake up to that we have ever experienced! Quiet - never once were we disturbed by other guests, traffic, or crowds. Location - about a five-minute walk to the harbor, Maui Ocean Center, the nearest beach and a small local grocer that serves a very decent breakfast and lunch. Grounds - beautiful landscaping, nice pool, laundry facilities and grill area. We even saw numerous turtles at the sea wall! CONS: TV - It takes three remotes and a page full of instructions to operate the tv. And we boomers never could figure it out so my husband did without football for the week. A/C - it is loud! The unit on the lanai sounds like an airplane taking off and after a while, it is annoying. Bed - needs a new mattress and when I stripped the linens upon check-out, we saw many stains on the mattress. Cleanliness - the entire unit needs a top to bottom cleaning and a fresh paint job. We had a few issues and the owner was very quick to send someone to take care of it. OVERALL: I would definitely stay here again. It is very budget friendly. You'll understand what I mean when you venture down to Wailea/Makena area. So if you don't want to spend a fortune on accommodations, this is a great place to stay!

Great location for us as our daughter works out of the harbor so it was convenient for us to use her car while she was working. The rooms were very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The view was beautiful and we loved going down to the water to watch the huge turtles.

The condo is located in a great location. Easy access to wherever you want to go on the island. Walking distance of the harbor to get your excursions. Walking distance to ocean center. Haycraft beach is just down the street. The grounds are clean and quiet with a great sense of community!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!

If we weren't there they would have been let in by condo maintenance. Not a big deal really but wanted to mention. Overall amazing place and would stay again.

We are very happy to have found and booked the apartment for our stay. There are 2 bedrooms, each with an adjacent bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a fantastic view over the complex and you can hear the sound of the Pacific all night long. The kitchen is very well equipped. We found everything we needed to support ourselves. Everything was lovingly prepared. We felt very welcome. We particularly liked the great view of the well-kept apartment complex and the Pacific Ocean. The apartment complex is mainly used privately by Americans and some are also rented out. The pool was very well maintained, as was the entire complex. Central barbecue facilities are available. We were also able to see turtles. The apartment is centrally located on Maui, so you can easily reach all parts of the island by car. After a 15-minute drive you are in a busy holiday area with large supermarkets, shops and wonderful beaches. We found it very nice that the apartment had 4 comfortable beach chairs with 2 parasols and other beach equipment. We would especially like to thank Howard & Kathleen. There are lots of tips about Hawaii, Maui, recommended beaches, restaurants, exploring and much more. We have been in regular contact since booking, so we were able to find out about the terrible fires and the daily changing situation. A big thank you for that. Mahalo. We are very happy to have visited Maui. Maui is a fantastic, diverse island. Mahalo & Aloha Maui

We love Maalaea Bay and have stayed next door at Milowai several times but we actually liked Maalaea Kai even better! Great view from the lanai. Watching the cute sea turtles 🐢 from the grounds and the lanai is so much fun. The pool is awesome! And grilling out by the ocean is incredible. We'll be back!!!

We enjoyed our stay so much! We loved that we could sit outside on the balcony and hear the waves crashing in. We watched sea turtles on the banks in front in the condo. It’s a perfect location to get around on the island. And nicely kept condo. The neighbors are very friendly. We will be back!

I stayed with my husband and daughter at Ma'alaea property. This was our last weekend before moving off the island after packing up our home and getting and settling our business on island. We wanted to spend our last weekend in a spot where we could relax, have a bbq with a few friends and enjoy the beautiful views and open air Ma'alaea has to offer. Since I have skin cancer / a service animal, I needed a place where I would be able to do this and still have the access to shade and allow my dog to be accommodated as well. Property management were very kind responsive, from booking and accommodating my needs and help in resolving a little issue with door lock upon arrival. Home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The only areas I found needing attention 1. A lot of baby roaches in the kitchen area. Which living in Hawaii is a normal occurrence, but suggest to have this treated soon. 2. AC unit heat made it impossible for anyone to sit on the lanai area and enjoy the view while AC was on, My husband and daughter was so thoughtful and bought and put up a pop up tent for me to sit under, just beyond the flow of heat, not realizing this was not allowed. I was disappointed not able to sit outside to enjoy the open air and views, due to sun exposure. property should redirect AC unit heat flow and condo management should provide open air shade.Overall condo is in a great location, clean/comfortable and recommend.

This property was amazing. Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Lahaina and Kihei but still close to great restaurants, shopping, and beaches. We enjoyed every morning out on the lanai having coffee and breakfast. We saw more turtles just outside the condo than we did on our snorkeling tour to turtle town. The condo was very clean and spacious for our family of four. Completely updated and renovated. I would recommend this place to anyone. We were very pleased and will return for another stay.

Lack of personal space. Lanai was cluttered with eclectic collection of pants and ornamentals. Closet and sheets had musky odor. In general it was busy with owners personal belongings.

This condo has pros & cons. Pro - amazing view, location. Super clean. Con- everything is basic and i don't think anything has been upgraded in years. No wine glasses, pans we're super beat up, couch is very uncomfortable. I'd only stay in this complex again, but not this condo unit.

Everything about this Condo was amazing!! It’s located in the second windiest port in the world. It has air-conditioning that you never need to turn off. We open the back doors, and the kitchen window and air flew through the condo beautifully. I love listening to the waves when we laid down to sleep at night. The grounds are very well-kept. It’s centrally located, close to everything. All accommodations were perfect. Check in and check out was very easy. The owner was amazing too. They provided a beach wagon, chairs, snorkeling mask, and beach towels. Kitchen was fully stocked also. The views were absolutely beautiful. I can’t say enough about our stay, everything was perfect.

We really enjoyed staying at this VRBO. The views were awesome and seeing the turtles daily was amazing. We're SCUBA divers and it is super close to one of the ports used. This was great for those 6:30AM dive boat meeting times. ;) Lots of kitchen appliances available, AC worked great, parking is easy peasy, and its central location is a great home base to go both North or South on the west side of the island. We hit some weather at the very end of our stay and the host was VERY accomodating allowing us a late check-out due to a changed flight time and even offered an extra day for us if the flight got cancelled. (Thanks, Gwen!) We'd definitely recommend this VRBO to a friend and look forward to another stay.

We loved staying at Gwen’s condo in Maalaea and for us the location was perfect. The view is beyond magical and it was really relaxing sitting on the lanai watching the sun set and rise and hear the waves. The condo had everything we needed. Would love to come back here in the future . The communication with the owner was great and she answered right away when we had a question about something.

The condo was everything we hoped for. Spacious, comfortable, convenient, beautiful views, and central location ideal for exploring the entire island. It was our first stay in Maalaea vs the main tourist areas of West and South Maui and the condo is a hidden gem, plus a good value for a true 2BR/2BA (not easy to find on Maui). Area is tranquil, right on the water and walking distance to beaches, the harbor, aquarium, and a handful of shops and restaurants. Plus, easy access to the highway and a short drive to Kihei, Olowalu, Iao Valley, Kahului, and more. Pat was phenomenal to work with, great communication and generously shared info, tips, and recommendations. Mahalo and a hui hou!

The view was my favorite part, waking up to that view was so amazing. The night time view of the moon light shining on the ocean was breathtaking. The only issue was the bathtub was a little clogged so the water drained slowly. Other than that, my experience was great! I definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed for 8 days and completely enjoyed our stay. The unit was perfect. The ocean view with the patio was amazing. There is a small beach close by but to get a bigger beach is about .5 mile away but a very nice wide open beach with hardly any people. This is a more windy location but it does help keep the heat down with an ocean breeze. It is also close to the harbor so we took several tours within walking distance.

My partner and I celebrated our honeymoon/anniversary here and it was the perfect spot. Clean and had everything we needed to stay in and cook or just hang out. The view is just a plus! Oh, and Danny isn’t lying about the bedding, we haven’t slept that well in quite a while. The neighbors are also pretty great, so friendly! Pool was great for night swims and I have to mention the sea turtles that are always hanging around by the water line. This will definitely be our repeat spot when we are able to squeeze in another vacation to Maui! ❤️

we really wanted to love this place with the awesome ocean views and barbecue but the decor was so personalized and full of clutter there was no where to set your suitcase to open it and get comfortable. once you remove all the pillows and comforters from the bed and set them down, you are sleeping in red flannel sheets which was strange. owners were great trying to fix cable box issues but we ultimately left three days early as it was just too hard to feel like a home away from home for the five days minimum. If they add comfortable rugs, remove excess furniture/chairs and tons and tons of clutter it could be a lot better for someone looking to unwind and feel at home with that amazing ocean sound/view/breeze

This is not only a rental, it is an experience and the main reason for this is the high level of attention to details by the hosts. Every room is properly furnished and NOTHING is missing. To top it all, John’s genuine passion for offering a great stay percolates throughout the stay. As far as the location, having toured Maui, I never wished being somewhere else. This area is so quiet, feels less touristy and is strategically located on the island. Everything feels close. Property is also very clean with a lot of friendly residents. One of the key highlights of the trip was finishing the day right in front of the condo, by the sea, looking for sea turtles while sipping wine !!! Everyone loved it !

Our stay was very pleasant, location was ideal. View was so beautiful ❤️ The area was a bit windy at the location. Love the gadget that came with the home, From rice cooker, crockpot, blender two coffee machines and ninja blender. Feels like home. Everything you needed is right at home. I would say the only thing was the parking area. No designated parking for the guest. We have to parked by the streets. Which was fine with us.

We were surprised that Vrbo is allowing this property to be rented out. The owner lives there full-time, the unit is cluttered and overpacked with her personal items and food, and the bedroom is locked for her personal use (While the unit is advertised as one bedroom, you are given a bed in the main room like a studio apartment). There was a lack of transparency on Vrbo site. Only after we arrived, owner revealed that 1) The unit piles dust from the sugar plantation nearby. 2) Tile floors are hard to keep clean so wear slippers. 3) The owner lives there full-time. The owner uses the assigned parking spot, so the guest must park on the street. 4) There is personal food stored in the refrigerator and freezer, and personal items in the closets and desk and other drawers. 5) The slider shade is broken so not to move it. There were other issues: - The dust in the unit was so severe that two of us had respiratory and allergic reactions. - The apartment was cluttered and overpacked with the owner’s personal things, with hardly any room for us to unpack. - They get their personal mail at the unit even during the guest stay. Owner had one of their friends enter the premises to retrieve their mail while we were there. Since our code was shared with the friend, we felt unsecured during the rest of the stay. - The unit needed some upkeep for it to be Vrbo rental property. The Slider screen was broken. - We had to chase them down and call multiple people to get check-in information.

We made the most out of our vacation and enjoyed what was made up to us. The beach front was gorgeous. We spot a few turtles on our last day and it was nice to wake up and enjoyed a cup of coffee on the balcony. The host was attentive and always responsive to our needs and questions. Upon arriving from a long flight, we were tired and everyone just wanted to sleep. While making our bed, I noticed a few things not up to standard such as sofa bed cover stained (looks like pee, it was yellow) from who knows when, pillows with sweats stains from maybe last several stay and old sheets that had a smell on like it’s been sitting for a while. (Think of sheets you wash and stored away for a long time and when taken out to use, its collects a weird smell). When communicated to the host, Gwen was apologetic and said she’s disappointed and it’s never happened before. A small refund ($110) given back to us for the inconvenience. The house keeper went to Target and dropped off new sheets. I was communicated new pillows were going to be dropped off but never did. Our family came for a vacation and everything should have been perfect but it wasn’t. We tried to make the best out of it. The highlight of our stay was the view, otherwise the unit is a bit outdated and could use fresh paint and new furniture. There were beach towels, camping chairs available to the guest, if needed. Also boggie boards and binocular. Not intended to be a bad review but just an honest review.

I enjoyed the pool and listening to the ocean during our stay. We slept with the windows open and the breezes were wonderful. During the days when it was hot, the AC worked great! Check in was quite easy and the only complaint which was easily remedied is that the tap water is unpleasant to drink so we bought bottled water and a bag of ice.

This place an absolute gem. You look out the window and see thee most beautiful view. Your parking spot is near the elevator. The elevator is near the room. Easy peasy! This is the perfect spot. You can bbq or swim in the pool. You can sit right by the ocean. Absolutely gorgeous! Quiet area. Love it! Thanks for having us!

The condo and location were absolutely perfect! We normally stay in a resort on the busier part of the island but we wanted to change it up this time. We're so glad we did because the views, privacy, and accommodations were so much better than a resort stay. The permanent residents were all wonderful and welcoming with true "Aloha Spirit". The condo had everything available for a day at the beach and so much more, so there was never a need to rent a lot of equipment. One stop at Costco to stock up on groceries was all we needed. John is the best host and a great communicator. His kindness and generosity before and during the trip were exceptional and we look forward to returning in the future!

This area was not very convenient for us to stay. The beach at the end of the street was extremely small and there were several homeless families there we did not go in the water we did not feel it was safe there we spent most of our time in Lahaina , which was about 30 minute drive each way there weren’t really any stores nearby. We were grateful there was one gas station around the corner that had coffee but for anything else you really had to drive quite a ways just was not one of the better places that we have stayed at in our last 20 years of traveling .

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family booked the stay through VRBO. The mgt information for this unit was accurate and we were able to see turtles from our balcony as advertised! The view was very good also for sunrise and sunset. No direct sunlight, which is nice since then it gets too hot. The facility has been well taken care of and linens, kitchen, bathroom were in very good condition and clean upon arrival. I would have given this a 5 star for general condition, but there was a slight (very light brownish walk track from the tiled kitchen floor to the balcony). I vacuumed two times with the provided unit vacuum just in case there was sand from previous use & since we take off our shoes upon entering (did not want bare feet/socks getting dirty), but it was just a light brownish tint (no sand) compared to the rest of the newer carpet. Just from general use & prev cleaning was 'clean'. Nothing that a bissel steam vac couldn't get out in 5 to 10 minutes. Again not a big deal. We would stay again in this unit for sure. Walking dist to aquarium & ships harbor too! A beach was within walking dist too. Probably the best one we were at for the whole island due to proximity, privacy and swimming with a turtle!

This is a ground floor property and it was nice to sit out front of our unit. The lanai area was extremely hot as the air conditioner was blasting hot air out, so we sat out on the lawn. The unit in general could use a good handyman as there was a door missing in the kitchen, the 2nd bedroom door could not close properly as well as some kitchen cupboards that did not close properly. The window in the master bedroom looks like it had had a makeshift repair and needs repairing. There is no air-conditioning in the 2nd bedroom - and the ceiling fan was not strong enough ( they did bring me a portable fan though) - . The 2nd bedroom has absolutely no where to store any clothes. The closet is a storage closet and there was no dresser for clothes. For us - the small bed could have been replaced with a dresser. There was also no shelf space in the 2nd bedroom or bathroom. The 2nd bedroom does not have a TV but there is a cable hanging down the wall for one, and the TV in the main bedroom was so small you could not read the words on it. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils. There was no back up of paper goods - so when shopping buy extra toilet paper and paper towels. This condo is in the middle of the island and thus it is just a short drive to everything. The whole complex is well maintained - and if I went again I would request a more renovated unit.

We had a fantastic stay in Maui thanks to this relaxing and peaceful condo. The condo appeared identical to the listing's photos. We appreciated the snorkels, coolers, and beach gear, as well as the books provided for some beachside reading. The lanai was beautiful and we loved spending time there in the morning eating breakfast. The grounds are very nicely kept and the pool is large, clean, and enjoyable. There are also dozens of sea turtles each afternoon that hang out in the shallow water in front of the property which is an added bonus!

This condo was as described. It had a comfortable bed and everything you might need for a beach vacation. The location was great for driving to all locations in the island. One thing to be sure to notice is that there is no air conditioning which is listed in the description , I just didn’t realize. There are great cross breezes, though and some fans to help if it gets warm. The evenings were comfortable but it got a bit warm during the day. We were gone most of that time so it didn’t matter. You cannot swim here, but there are nice beaches all over. The setting is beautiful.

Great views!! Condo is well stocked with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a beach vacation including chairs, beach towels and snorkeling equipment - much appreciated! Our last afternoon we hung around on the property and sunned ourselves by the ocean on lounge chairs on the beautifully manicured lawn area. We watched at least 10 plus turtles feeding on the nearby coral! Peaceful and relaxing!

When we were trying to decide where to stay on the island, quietness was on the top of the list. This location was perfect! It was central to everywhere on the island with a therapeutic vibe. The condo is perfectly decorated and we had everything we needed. Upon arrival we saw fresh bouquet of flowers, Hawaiian chocolate and treats, and a bag of native coffee! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Thank you!

My friend and I stayed two weeks at this condo. It was beautify furnished and had a fully stocked kitchen with everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and well maintained. It was wonderful to have a ground floor ocean view which we enjoyed every day. The grounds were beautify and kept up well. The condo is in walking distance to the marina, shopping and restaurants which made it nice on days we didn't want to get in the car to go anywhere. The condo is centrally located a short drive to Lahaina or Kihei or Paia Town. We loved that it was not located in the high tourist traffic areas. I would stay here again and would recommend this condo to friends and family. Thank you Richard and Jackie for your hospitality and a wonderful time.

This property was as listed. Clean, with everything one needed for fun and adventures. The reference books were really handy, especially for snorkeling and hiking. Owner was attentive and quick to respond. Beautiful views from the deck.

Very nice condo in Maalea! Clean, great little kitchen, porch overlooking Maalea bay! Saw herd of turtles (actually, correct word is "bale" of turtles) right off the front lawn area. Very easy walk to restaurant, shops in Maalea village. Good "home base" for travels around Maui.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented this condo for 8 nights and could not have been happier with my decision. We were happy with the beds (our son slept on the Murphy bed) and the entire condo. It is well stocked- everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach. There were even books to read and games to play. The unit was clean and the breeze with the windows open was amazing. We spent a lot of time on the lanai enjoying the view. The pool was often empt and we grilled out and met other travelers. It was a great stay.
