Hard To Beat Oceanview 2Br/2Ba - Newly Renovated - Saltwater Pools & Pickleball!

CANCELLATION IS POSSIBLE!! See standard cancellation terms outlined in our Rental Agreement. We are also willing to work with our guests to make their vacation possible, especially with Covid issues and potential travel restrictions.

You’re invited to stay in our Kihei Kai Vista, Unit 2406 at Maui Vista. Please, come, relax and enjoy. The ocean view from our 4th floor, building 2 unit we think is one of the best in the complex. Enjoy rainbows, whales, the morning song of tropical birds, the occasional gecko and of course, the magnificent sunsets while relaxing on our lanai.
In December 2012 we purchased our condo and came in January 2013 to add some personal touches, with more to come on future trips. We’ve replaced all carpet with bamboo flooring and put a Cal. King bedroom set in the master bedroom and for the flexibility of our guests, XL twin beds that can be converted to a King in the second bedroom loft. The upstairs bathroom has been expanded with a larger walk-in shower and private lavatory. There are new granite counter tops throughout the unit along with a full complement of kitchen accessories and appliances. There is a lovely bar-height table and chairs on the lanai to enjoy your breakfast, watch for whales during season, or relax with your favorite cocktail while taking in one of the best places for sunset views. Beach chairs, towels, an umbrella and cooler are there for your use. After a long day at the beach or sightseeing, we have provided new flat screen TV’s in the living room and master bedroom along with cable, as well as complimentary WiFi. Newly installed split A/C unit in the living area will cool you off in a hurry. Ceiling fans in the living area and both bedrooms provide additional circulation, especially with the tradewind breezes.
NEW FOR 2023!! In February the tub/shower was replaced with a beautiful walk-in shower with a bench and hand-held showerhead wand. Also, we've purchased a new living room queen-size sofa sleeper and reupholstered the ottomans. Additional renovations completed October 2023, all floor tile was replaced with LVP flooring, and the second bathroom shower was renovated as well. We also replaced the refrigerator and microwave, all kitchen and bath countertops, cabinetry and our lanai tile.
Over the years we’ve stayed at a variety of places in Maui but feel that Maui Vista had the most to offer. The complex is right across the street from famous Charley Young Beach, within walking distance of several other beaches that run along the Kihei coast as well as many shops, restaurants and a grocery store. Maui Vista is an over eight-acre property with well-maintained grounds with a variety of tropical vegetation, three swimming pools (recently converted to a saltwater chlorination system), six tennis courts (some with pickleball striping), three gas barbeque grill stations.
We believe you won't be disappointed with the awesome ocean view, the centralized location near the beach, many restaurants and shopping opportunities, the well-appointed accommodations at a reasonable price all with easy access to the wide variety of activities available on Maui.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Perfect in every way!

This is our second time staying at this condo and we loved it just as much the second time, if not more. The location is perfect (a quick 4 minute walk to Charley Young beach - one of the best) and the property itself is so well taken care of (pools are always pristine, new BBQs, beautiful landscaping). The condo itself is perfect for our family of four. The loft gives our daughters their own space, along with a nice big bathroom for them to use. The furniture and layout is so well thought out as there is so much storage, there is a place for everything which makes it feel so much like home. The kitchen also has everything you will need which is so helpful when cooking meals. The hosts are super responsive and anything you may need they will address right away. I highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful Vacation Getaway

Hard to leave the beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Fantastic location with relaxing, sandy beach just across the street. Plus the whales put on quite a show. Cindie and David are prefect hosts and provided everything we could possibly need during our vacation. Mahalo and we look forward to our return trip next year!

Great condo in Kihei

We loved our stay here! This condo has everything you need to explore and enjoy Kihei. The decor and furniture were lovely. 2 bathrooms is so nice when traveling and our kids absolutely loved the loft bedroom with 2 twin beds. Tons of beach supplies to borrow like boogie boards/snorkel equipment/chairs/umbrella, which was such a nice touch. Great view from the balcony and building was quiet. Comfortable bed and bedding. Location is great! Many beaches, restaurants, grocery, shopping, food trucks and shaved ice in the area. Highly recommend!

Great place and convenient location

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had a nice kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to cook several meals in-house. We were pleasantly surprised that it had two separate bathrooms. Really made getting ready easy for all three of us. The second bathroom was upstairs off of the lofted bedroom. The owner/manager was very responsive with communication. We were always able to find a close spot to park in the lot. The beach was a short walk away. Very convenient. Definitely recommend and would stay at there again. Only downside is the bedroom is in the back of the space and is a little cut off from the A/C. We were able to stay cooler with than fan. No issue.

This was a great place for our family of five. The property was clean. WiFi was functional. Check in went without a hiccup. The air conditioning made the loft and living space very comfortable.

Fantastic Stay

Amazing location, convenient for easy beach access and a short walk to tons of shops, food, and equipment rental. The condo is well stocked with what you’ll need for a care free vacation. The owner was very accommodating when we requested a late check out and found an option that worked for both of us. The property management company was very helpful when our door code automatically reset earlier than planned for our late check out. Excited to go back for another vacation!

Even better than described

The condo was clean, well stocked and located close to everything. We made use of the beach across the street daily. It is within walking distance to surf lessons, food, shopping and more. The view from the lanai Is wonderful for morning coffee and we saw whales! Kehei was very hot while we were there, but pulling the shades and using the AC made it more comfortable. Overall, it was the perfect home base for our vacation.

Fun family vacation

This lovely condo was roomy enough for our group of 5. I quite liked the separation of floors which gave that bit of extra privacy. The location also was great right above the pool and on the oceanside so we caught a great sunset. Charley Young beach is an easy walk across the street. For us going there earlier in the day or early evening was best as there's not much shade ( umbrellas in the hall closet are handy ) and the sand gets awfully hot on the feet. We were lucky to see turtles swimming close to shore at both Charley Young beach and Turtle Beach which is a 10/15 minute drive south. The condo is about midway and walkable to many shops and food outlets. A great location, great hosts and a very nice getaway!

Conveniently located, well-equipped condo close to the beach

Two friends and I stayed at this condo for a week in late October 2016, and the unit was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfy, and we also really liked the beach chairs, beach umbrella, and the pool noodles. Most importantly, we were a five minute walk from Charley Young Beach, which connects to my favorite beach, Kamaole I. I took the master bedroom on the first level, and my friends slept on twin beds in the loft on the upper level (the owners give you the option of having two twin beds, or one king sized mattress). Parking was plentiful at the property, and the building was very quiet. We were able to walk to a lot of good restaurants and food trucks (e.g. South Maui Fish Company, Local Boys Shave Ice, Da Kitchen Express, Maui Teriyaki), and we rented snorkel gear and stand-up paddle boards from one of the many rental shops on South Kihei Rd. We rarely used the air conditioner since the ocean breeze kept the unit comfortable, especially in the evenings. Thanks for making this such a comfortable place to stay!

Had A Great Stay

We love Maui and the Kehei area and have always found the Maui Vista a great place for us to stay. The beach across from it is wonderful for kids (or anyone) it close to everything and it has very nice setting. In the Vista, there are three buildings, my preference is building 2 as it is a little further from the South Kehei road and does not seem to get any road noise and it is built higher up a hill giving it great views, still it closer to the beach than building 3. This unit is in building 2 and has one of the best views of all the units in Vista. It really is incredible. I think we manage to be sitting on the lania for 13 of the 16 nights we were there to enjoy the sunset. The unit itself is well laid out and has been nicely updated. All the beds are comfortable, even the pull out sofa. The unit had everything we needed, toaster, blender, plates glasses etc and it even had some Tommy Bahama Chairs and Umbrella for the beach and a boogie board! It might have an extra boogie board now as we always buy one at costco for $25 when we arrive and leave it behind. The owners are great to deal with and very nice people. The on island rental company they hire was also great to deal with. We will still here again in the future.

CAN'T BEAT THIS

Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with 2 adult kids and son in law. There were 12 other family/friend members visiting as well - staying in other units. Upon are arrival, Cindie and Dave were kind enough to leave card, chocolates, and flowers!! Even better than advertised. Beautiful 4th floor/loft view. Saw whales from the deck on first day. 2 bathrooms, slept 5 easy and layout did not have us feeling crowded. Ceiling and floor fans and A/C kept us at a comfortable temp. Left windows, patio door open in evenings as the ocean breeze cooled everything before bed. The complex shuts down around 10pm ish, but works well for us getting up by 5 everyday for walks, hikes along beach and to Cinamon Bun shop nearby. The location is very unique. 5-10 min walk down to Charlie Young Beach. Very close to almost anything in Kihei. Grocery stores, restaurants, pubs, shopping, beach equip rentals - you name it - its minutes away. Rainbow Attic Consignment store (10 min walk away) has boogie boards for $15. Unit was very well stocked and supplied. Need nothing. We cooked some and went out to eat as well. Ended up buying water in bulk/refill/large bottles at "Times" grocery store nearby. Unit has many beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, cooler, beach bag,football, etc. You get the idea. Never any issues with ants, but people on first floor were battling them when we were there. The BBQ area worked very well for us. The unit has many tourist touring references/books that were appreciated as well. The number one item we appreciated the most was the combination door lock on the unit. WE LOVED IT. No hassles with keys and the neighbours locked themselves out of their units several times - once at 9:30 in the evening. Charlie Young Beach is spectacular. No monster waves, but lots of turtles. Saw about 10 a day in the water. Got bumped/flippered by one large turtle - thought a tiger shark got me!! One turtle beached itself for several hours - needed to warm up and rest I guess. Saw spinner dolphins in deeper water past the beach. Some snorkeling options there as well. Appreciate the fact We took time out to write this review - for you and Cindie and Dave. It's the least we could do. Maloha Metzy Family

Amazing View and Location is Perfect

Top floor view of the sunsets over the ocean, and a short walk to Charley Young beach across the street are ideal. Beach gear included the latest updated Tommy Bahama umbrella and chairs. The bathrooms are modern with beautiful fixtures and finishes. Maui Vista has immaculate pools, courts, and lush flowering gardens. The owners were gracious and easy to reach by email for any questions, and the welcoming Maui Vista staff was always available at the office as well. We enjoyed a perfect Kihei vacation here and recommend it highly!

Great place and great location!

Place just as described, easy walk to the beach and great food trucks in either direction to eat. Easy to get out and drive elsewhere on the island as well. Only complaint is the AC will only run for 6 hours at a time so we'd have to crank it back up in the middle of the night, plus we couldn't close the bedroom door or we wouldn't get any AC since the unit is in the living room. But it wouldnt stop us from staying here again, we loved having all the beach and other gear available for adventures.

Why they chose this property

We've been hooked on Maui ever since our first visit. Over the years, we stayed several places, but kept coming back to Maui Vista for its great centralized location to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

What makes this property unique

We love the ocean view, especially during whale season! It is in the second building of the complex...away from the street noise, but still an easy walk to the beach. It has been updated with an expanded second bathroom. Our unit was new to the rental pool when we purchased it and we continue to make improvements every year. All carpeting has been replaced with bamboo flooring and a split A/C unit has been installed.
