Sure, TV, but with a view like that, isn't playing guitar on the lanai better?

Sep/Oct Special 15% off! Romantic Maui Getaway, 25' from the Ocean

Romantic Maui Getaway, 25' from the Ocean ~ Relax with the Sun, Wind and Waves

One of the best condos in Maui (with the reviews to prove it)! (Hawaii Tax ID: TA-113-583-7184-01) And for August and September it's up to 15% off! (usually $219, now $189-199)

TL;DR description:

- 25 feet from the ocean with an almost 180 degree view.
- Air Conditioner plus a ceiling fan
- High End Sterns & Foster King Mattress
- Many amenities for a perfect vacation: cooler, beach towels, umbrella, chairs, games, books, DVDs, and a guitar, if you go in for such things. :-)
- and in the kitchen: microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle, juicer, rice cooker, oven, full sized fridge, high end pans, etc.
- Super fast internet, if you _have_ to work
- Sofa bed
- Zoned for a hotel, so you can book with confidence it'll be available regardless of any of the pending short-term rental legislation (unlikely to pass, but there are some folks trying to ban STRs in apartment zones).

Hi! I'm Jim Tierney and I stay here a couple months a year, so it's important the condo is kept in great shape. Both for myself and my guests. I'm constantly updating the condo. For example, I added a King bed last year, and added new art, a kitchen backsplash and replaced the old window with a new double pane window this year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

The only fee I charge is a $150 cleaning fee (which goes to the cleaner), there are no management, resort, or whatever fees that you'll have to pay me. Tax and the fee VRBO charges you for using the platform I have no control over.

The beautiful pacific ocean is 25 ft away from your lanai! Listen to the waves and see the stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. During whale season, you can see whales all day long. The condo itself is designed as something I would expect from an upscale Maui resort. So it's very well appointed and very comfortable. Including a high end Sterns & Foster King mattress! A vacation condo should feel like home and, at the same time, somewhere special. That special place that you look forward to returning to.

I've put a lot of work into the place and care a lot about the condo and your experience in it. You can see that reflected in the reviews! :-)

Also, check out the beautiful, custom shower! Finally got around to remodeling the shower and it came out amazing. All slate, river rock, and quartzite. I'm stoked about it and you will be too. :-)

While the ocean is 25 feet away, there is not a sandy beach in front of the property. However, there are some good beaches within easy walking distance. (see the photos)

I keep my calendar updated. If it says condo is available, it is. I know it's frustrating when you see an available condo and it's just due to folks not updating their calendars.

Key Amenities: Air Conditioner, high-end King mattress, free reserved parking, wired/wireless super fast internet (250mb down/20mb up), flat screen TV, remodeled kitchen, remodeled shower, and lots of small amenities like a hair dryer in the bathroom and juicer in the kitchen.

Check out the Google Map below with some great recommendations for eating and activities. See the video for the view off of the lanai.

I figure there's two things people want from a Maui vacation... 1) to see and hear the ocean from their lanai and 2) to get some sleep. :-) As for the ocean, the condo is 25 feet away from the ocean so you can sit on the lanai and watch the waves crash into the sea wall or the sun set over the wide pacific and disappear behind Molokai. When it comes to sleeping I'm pretty particular about the mattress I sleep on, so it was important to find a good mattress that rivaled what I expect from an upscale hotel. It's amazingly comfortable and I think you'll find it's wonderful to listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep.

It's a wonderful, luxurious space that will give you everything you want from a Maui vacation. I look forward to having you experience it for yourself.

If you're into cooking, the kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. You have all the cookware necessary for a complete meal and then some. The dishes, glassware, and tableware are all beautiful and will make having dinner on the lanai at sunset feel like a 5 star restaurant. You are also a couple minutes away from a market that specializes in local and organic foods, if you're looking for fresh ingredients.

There's also a brand new air conditioner, which is not common in vacation rentals.

Of course, there's the usual stuff, 32' flatscreen TV with DVD and cable, high speed internet with WiFi, speakers to plug an iPod into, hair dryer, small library of DVDs, and even a desk to write postcards on or check email (not that you'd be doing that on your vacation). There's also stuff like beach chairs, a boogie board, snorkel equipment, and beach towels. The couch becomes a queen sized, Simmons sofa bed to accomodate kids or another adult. This IS a sofa bed. It's a nice one, but like all sofa beds it's not the paragon of comfort, especially for adults.

There are two pools. However, this is a residential condo complex (meaning folks live here year round) so the pools aren't resort quality. There are no waterslides, bars, spa, lifeguards, or attendants handing you towels. They are nice, clean pools, but more modest than you'd find in a resort. Of course, the condo has pool/beach towels for your use and it's easy enough to mix up your own drinks in the blender. :-) There's also a couple day spas a short distance away.

There's a grassy area directly in front with a gas BBQ, tables, and chaise lounges. You're one block from restaurants and shopping. It's an excellent central location to go north to Kapalua or south to Kaanapali.


The condo is non-smoking and is on the second floor, up one flight of stairs.

Cancellation policy: you can cancel 45 days or more and get a full refund. 30-45 days out, you just lose the deposit. So it's less strict than what VRBO shows, but I can't customize that. Also, if I can rebook the dates I will also give you a full refund, regardless of when you cancel.

Awesome stay at a wonderful place!

Pictures and descriptions of this place are spot on. Older unit but has some nice upgrades including nice bed, kitchen and shower. Loved mornings and sunsets on the lanai including seeing whales. Sure, it’s not a resort, but wife enjoyed the pool and we got a million dollar view for a week at about what you’ll pay for a night or 2 at the Ritz just up the road! (And we were closer to the water.) On the last night we were discussing how quickly we could get back :-)

Perfect Condo

This is an affordable condo, so I wasn't sure what to expect. While not fancy, it has everything you need to have an amazing time. You can watch turtles from the lanai, catch sunsets, and watch rainbows. Want to have a beach day- use the beach towels, chairs, umbrella, and cold bags that are provided. No detail was missed, including one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. You can tell a lot of love was put into this place and I would happily stay here again. Mahalo!

This ocean view property was amazing. We saw sea turtles swimming from our balcony and a beautiful rainbow over Molokai. The location was perfect for a short 5 min drive to amazing snorkeling at Nāpili Bay and Kapalua Bay. The condo was stocked with everything we needed, beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards and towels. I highly recommend this property!

Excellent Stay

The location & property was perfect for us! We love to adventure so we didn't need a huge fancy place; it was clean, with enough space for us two AND a comfortable bed! We jogged to badass coffee most mornings to drink coffee on the beach. We frequented Miso sushi, the farmers market and Maui brewing which were walking distance. Could not be more pleased with the condo and location; it's close to everything. Sitting on the balcony in the morning and watching the sunset and rainbows in the evening was just what we hoped for. We'll be back!

The VRBO has a fully stocked kitchen, snorkel gear, beautiful bathroom. The bed and pillows are SOO comfortable. So comfortable that I took pics of the brands because i want them at home. We’ll definitely be coming back to stay. Need more Miso Phat Sushi in my life!

The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. The owner provided all the beach gear we could ask for and made for hassle free, fun filled stay. The owner and property manager were really easy to work with and made sure we had all the information we needed for a stress free arrival and departure.

Peaceful place

We island hopped and was at this location for only two days. There is a drop off with a wall in front of the building so no direct beach access. But they did have a nice book with tons of details made up in the room and the beach front is like a 3 min walk which was perfect. The view was amazing from the balcony. The towels were great and fluffy in the room. And was clean and we enjoyed the telescope and binoculars in the room. 1 out of 5 I would rate this place a 4 only due to the size and coffee would have been amazing to have stocked cause your a drive from town All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Quiet and secluded - perfect view for sunsets

We rented a week for our 35th anniversary… and had a wonderful week. The beach areas are eroded away - so we drove to other beaches to snorkel. (Hint - go to the Sheraton in Valley your car… Take your stuff and go snorkeling at Black rock right there on the beach… Then when you’re done eat at the cliff diver bar… Get your ticket validated and your valet was free. If you don’t get it validated… It’s 50 bucks. Lunch ran us about 70 each time we did it… We thought that was a fair trade.). Parking was a little quirky… On some days someone would be parked there… Two hours later they’d be gone. We just parked in the guest spot and had our same parking pass. Overall… Very romantic. We really enjoyed the stay… The place is super clean and stocked full of Items… We kept even discovering things in. The mattress and the bed is very comfortable. Small but great little place for a couple in love.

Bit dark and crammped

We left after staying only 2 of our 7 paid days. The unit was dark, veranda was almost unusable given how much heat the window style air conditioning unit pumped out into the space. No seating area inside for dinning option. Bath was remodeled but the heated mirror made the room to hot. To much 'clutter' around in an effort to make the unit user friendly. The listing advised that the unit was in a residential complex, and that there was no service or attendant at the pool. Ok, that's fine. What the listing did NOT state was that the pool was on the other side of the road, a bit of a hike from this ocean front unit, and that there was limited, if any, parking available near the pool.

The view is gorgeous, the bed is cozy, all the amenities you need plus some extras. Really can't get better location for price than this! Gorgeous beaches are just a short drive away. Not overly touristy feeling or busy. Felt like home, so cozy. The art in the place is really cool to!Plus, the owner is super communicative with detailed emails with recommendations and helpful tips before your stay! The 'on-island contact' is friendly and very helpful as well! Our honeymoon stay here was everything we hoped for and more - and if we are fortunate enough to come back to Maui, this will be the place I try to book! Highly recommend.

Amazing stay

I can not say enough about this property, owner and property manager. All around one of the best vacation experiences I have ever had. The property is exactly like it is described and pictured - there was plenty of space for me and my husband. The property owner Jim gave us such detailed check in info and the onsite property manager was in contact if we needed anything at any time. The place has an amazing view, is quiet, safe, great parking, perfectly located to everything (short 10min drive to Whalers Village area, easy to highways). Jim gave us such helpful hints about where to go food shopping, restaurants, beach access nearby, snorkeling advice (which we took so thank you), whale watching, literally every suggestion you could need. We took advantage of the beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards that were available. Every morning we had coffee on the lanai and snacks/drinks before dinner. I will miss the view!!! We took day trips to Haleakala, the road to Hana, Iao valley hikes, and snorkeling at black rock!!! Thank you for an amazing stay . I would recommend this property to everyone.

About the host

Hosted by Jim

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Jim Tierney. I live most of the year in San Francisco and escape to Maui whenever I get tired of the foggy weather. I run a small software company and have the good fortune of being able to work anywhere there's an internet connection. Luckily that's the case with Maui, so whenever I get an urge for whale watching, diving, or laying in the sun it's no problem coming over. I love diving and the diving in Maui is spectacular, there are some really beautiful spots. I also have a passion for photography, particularly whales and outdoor scenes, so you'll see some of my work on the walls of the unit.

I hope you'll check out my place. I put a lot of work into it making sure it was a livable space for when I'm there. So I think the standards I have for the condo is much higher than most rental units.

Why they chose this property

I bought this because I'll be there about 3 months of the year and I wanted something on the ocean. A friend of mine lives in the same building so I was very familiar with the property and all it offered (ok, so mostly it offered the ocean about 20 feet way :-). It's amazing to watch the sun set during the summer, see the whales during the winter, and listen to the waves all year long.

What makes this property unique

A wonderful view (did I mention you're 25 feet from the ocean :-), a high-end, very comfortable bed, a full kitchen, and air conditioning.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
