Milowai

Milowai is a quiet, older complex on the Maalaea seawall, where guests spend mornings watching the sun rise over Haleakala and afternoons counting sea turtles below the lanai. It suits couples and small families who want a central driving base and an easy walk to harbor boats, not a beach out the door.

What guests say

Guests love

Turtles below the seawall. Guests watch green sea turtles feed on the rocks right in front of the building most afternoons and evenings, often straight from the lanai.
Haleakala sunrises, winter whales. The lanais look east over the bay, so coffee comes with sunrise over Haleakala, and in winter many guests spot humpbacks without leaving the condo.
Walk to the harbor boats. Maalaea Harbor, the aquarium and a few cafes are a short walk, so snorkel, whale watch and sunset cruises start without a drive or paid parking.
Surf sounds and a quiet pool. Many guests sleep with windows open to the waves, and the small heated pool and grills by the ocean are rarely crowded.

Worth knowing

Seawall, not a beach. The building fronts a rocky seawall with no sand; the sandy beach is a short walk down the road, which a few guests found farther than expected.
Low, tight garage. Assigned underground parking is a plus, but the garage has a 6-foot height limit and tight spaces, so larger SUVs and trucks end up on the street.
Bedroom AC varies. Some units have only a living-room window AC, leaving bedrooms warm at night; steady trade winds keep many guests comfortable, so check each listing.
Windy, low-key village. Maalaea is breezy and quiet, with only a few places to eat nearby, so plan on a car for groceries, dinners and most beaches.

This is the second time I stayed at Tanci’s condo. I wish I could give it more than five stars!The home is well appointed - including central AC. The kitchen is stocked, there are throw blankets in the living room, and there are Tommy banana beach chairs and other beach gear! The views are stunning, too - sea turtles visit every afternoon and are visible from the balcony.The property is on a quiet street and centrally located on the island. This is the perfect home away from home while on Maui! Tanci is an excellent host - very responsive and helpful. WiFi works great. Beds are comfortable. Furnishings are thoughtful and high quality.

Low-rise one- and two-bedroom condos on the seawall, where turtles feed most days and humpbacks breach off the lawn in winter. Warm pool and loungers by the water; the rocky shore isn't for swimming, so walk down to Sugar Beach for sand.

A small, quiet low-rise on the Maalaea Bay seawall: turtles feed off the rocks, whales pass daily in winter and steps lead down to snorkel on calm days. Mostly updated two-bedrooms with washer/dryers; the sand is a walk away at Sugar Beach.

Just 42 two- and three-bedroom condos in a low-rise complex on a small reef-protected cove, where green sea turtles often cruise the shallows. Kids love the round pool, 3 feet deep throughout; the sand turns rocky at the waterline, so pack water shoes.
