Location, location, location! Wake up to diamonds sparkling on the ocean top.
Spectacular top floor views of Makena, Molokini crater, and the Island of Kahoolawe. Whales in full view from our lanai during whale season, all while enjoying your morning coffee and fresh island fruits! A short walk down the street brings you to 4 miles of a pristine white sand beach that you can walk along the ocean to North Kihei. Along the walk is the Kealia pond bird sanctuary. Also down our street in the other direction is a 10 minute walk to shops, restaurants, sunset cruises, snorkel & diving trips, whale watching tours, and the world famous Maui Ocean Aquarium. Maalaea is centrally located and convenient to all areas on the island, whether it be the port town of Lahaina, the pristine grounds of Wailea, or rural upcountry. All of these are within 1/2 hour or less drive from our condo. There are also 4 golf courses within a 5 mile radius.

Enjoyable Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in this condo. Great location and views. Clean and comfortable, with everything we needed and more. One minor problem was quickly remedied by the owner. Will definitely consider staying here again.

A True Home Away from Home

My husband and I recently spent 10 days in this beautiful condo overlooking the ocean in Maalaea. It’s hard to imagine a better place to stay. The hosts have thought of everything—every utensil, dish, bowl, pot, frying pan, pencil and paper, tote bags, detergent, spices in the food closet , oil, vinegar—you get the idea. We felt as though they did everything in their power to make our stay a good one, and it was. They probably didn’t arrange for us to see the couple of whales we did from their balcony, but it would also not have surprised us to learn they had a hand in it. Returning each evening to the condo was a true respite from our busy days. Sitting on the lanai, watching and listening to the ocean, made for a perfect ending to each amazing day on Maui. The only criticism we can offer is that it made leaving VERY hard. If you are looking for a great place to stay on Maui, you can’t beat this one. Enjoy!

Decompress

Incredibly wonderful. The place has every personal touch that is needed. The place was impeccably clean with a warm feeling. I know when I come back to this beautiful island where I will be staying.

About the host

Hosted by Vicki and John Stewart

We are from northern California and recently retired. This has been our part time island get away for the last 19 years. A rental management company had handled our vacation rentals for the last 12 years, and it was rated A+ Superior quality. We are now managing the vacation rental ourselves through VRBO! We hope you will enjoy our Maui home as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the views, the sounds of the ocean, & the central proximity to all island locations. The tropical breezes we get are soothing and cooling. Air conditioning is rarely needed. The grounds surrounding our building are immaculate and filled with beautiful Hawaiian plants and flowers. In our lobby is a welcoming waterfall and small pond filled with koi fish. The back side of our building has the West Maui Mountains in full view. We are on a quiet street that dead ends to a sandy swimming beach with showers and shade trees. It also begins a unobstructed 5 mile sand beach walk into Kihei.
This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of our Maui paradise.
It is very peaceful here - and one of the best kept secrets of Maui!
