Maalaea is one of Maui's best-kept secrets - centrally located between Kihei, Lahaina, and the airport, yet tucked away from the crowds.

One of the most beautiful water views

This condo has one of the most beautiful water views in the Maalaea area. You can watch surfers catch rolling waves from your lanai, as well as watch boats come and go from Maalaea harbor. The complex is well maintained, and the grounds are spotless. We also liked the fact that the condo has just the right amount of furnishings. Lastly, there's a Starbucks within walking distance, so we didn't miss our morning lattes.

Great stay

Everything is great in this condo. The only negative is the peeler was pretty dull and I couldn’t find a lid that for the food storage containers other than that it was very nice. So not much bad to say indeed.

Amazing views and great hospitality

The overall experience was great, everything was clean and the check in process was super easy. The AC worked great it was nice to always have a parking spot ready to go without having to look for one. I think the best part was the little extras they have waiting for us like chocolates and beach stuff ready to use if we wanted to.

Wonderful Choice

The condo was perfect in terms of the view and location on the island. Everything was as described. The kitchen is lacking some basic items that most VRBO‘s have (such as salt and pepper and some sort of cooking oil), but that was truly the only disappointment. The management company was very responsive to requests with an immediate response and willingness to help. I would stay here again without question.

Perfect location

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.

Incredible Views and Location

We loved our stay here. The views from the lanai are truly direct oceanfront. We enjoyed sitting out there and listening to the waves. The air conditioning worked very well and the place was clean and comfortable. The location is walking distance to the marina, aquarium and a shopping plaza with multiple good restaurants and cute shops. We caught a sunset cruise at the marina and had a quick walk home. Less than 15 minutes to the heart of Kihei and about 25-30 minutes to the Lahaina area.

Great location!

First of all, communication with the property manager was A+. What we loved most about the property was that it was located in a relatively quiet area on the island. We ended up going to different areas for dinner and drinks but we were so happy that we were able to come back to a peaceful, less crowded area. Wonderful views from the condo. Pool and lawn area was exactly as pictured and we loved spending time out there. Would stay here again on a return trip to the island!

The property is located directly on the water and has an unbelievable ocean view. There wasn’t beach access directly in front of the condo - but there’s a beautiful quiet beach park about 1/2 mile down the road. The condo is very centrally located to the airport, Kihei & Lahaina. Jenna was easy to reach when we needed her and prompt to reply!
