If you love a good night's sleep, this condo isn't for you. The bed feels like you have been consumed by a spongy blob and the pillows are huge and uncomfortable. Hot water for showering is sparse. We were told we could check out at 1:00 pm on the day we were leaving. We took our suitcases out to the rental car, shutting the condo door behind us. We were unable to get back in as the owner had not reset the time on the lock. All electronics, owner contact information was locked in the condo. On premise security was unable to help. Thankfully, our son-in-law was able to dig around and after about 20 minutes found a way to contact Vicky Olson. This was a very frighteining experience for us. Boarding passes, etc. were in the condo. No apology for locking us was offered, making the taste in our mouths much worse. Sadly, this was our first and maybe last VRBO experience.
Loved the unit. First things first - very CLEAN. Good accessories with the beach equipment. Some units' reviews (not for this place) had expressed that it was too hot. Jim and Vicki's place had more than enough a/c units to keep things very comfortable. I also like that this unit as closer to the front and pool and had a nice grass area near the patio. The only drawback is that you are closer to the road and hear it when outside.
I did not give a "5" for communication because we never heard from them again after we received check-in info. HOWEVER, I want to point out that our home state (and Jim and Vicki's) experienced horrific weather situations during our trip and I would not be surprised if that played into it. Prior to booking they took care of every question very quickly.
I would stay here again with no trouble.
A comfortable, clean, and well equipped place to stay
Everything was just perfect! The location was great for us - across the street from a good swimming beach and within walking distance from dining. The kitchen had plenty of cooking equipment and storage containers. There were beach chairs, umbrella, and plenty of towels to use. The bed was comfortable, and we really enjoyed sitting on the large lania. Everything was very clean. Communicating with the hosts was pleasant and easy. I appreciated that they checked to make sure we were happy with everything. I would love to stay here on my next trip.
Jim and Vickyâs condo was amazing. It is centrally located to all the best restaurants, and just a short walk to the beach. The place was just as described and very clean. Communication with Jim and Vicky was also very easy. Overall we had a great stay and will try to book with them again when we make another trip to Maui!
My husband and I had a wonderful trip to Maui- the second time we have stayed in Vicky and Jim's unit. The location of their condo is unmatched- close to the pool, the beach, shops, and restaurants. The condo had everything we could possibly need for our trip and we will be back! Vicky and Jim are very responsive and we had no concerns- their unit is beautifully updated!
Vicky communicated wonderfully from the start. My 2 adult daughters & I took our 1st trip together & loved staying here! They were super comfortable in the Murphy Bed. The home was just as the photos showed & has all been totally remodelled. We had everything we needed to cook. We loved having access to a BBQ.
While I wanted to spend more for a water view it wasnât in the budget & truly the best beach in Maui from our perspective was a 4 minute walk away. Easy walking into town. We would stay there againđ. One really needs to rent a car to see the island which we managed to do for $39/day. It wasnât the prettiest lolđ
Excellent vacation rental! Clean, cool and comfortable. Centrally located allowing you to walk to many convenient beaches and shops as well as making day trips by car around the island a breeze. If we have the good fortune to visit Maui again we would stay at Jim and Vicky's place without question.
This was a beautiful property. King bed, nice shower and lanai. Great kitchen although we are out mostly. There is a Murphy bed if you have an extra guest and the lanai is a great place to enjoy morning coffee and end of day cocktail. Hand no troubles reaching out to Vicky with any questions and always got a quick response. I recommend this property and would request it again
Vicky and Jim's condo was absolutely wonderful. Very clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with every thing you could need. Close to some great restaurants and shopping, Wonderful beach just across the street. Vicky was great with helping out for whatever was needed. We would love to stay there again in the future!! Mahalo
Absolutely an amazing condo! Cozy, comfortable and oh so clean ~ made us feel right at home! Excellent location across from the beach.
Definitely looking forward to a return visit ~ hopefully soon! đ
Vicky was amazing to work with! The condo is very updated and clean. It was stocked with everything needed including beach stuff. Check in was very easy. We loved the area. We could walk to the best beaches, shops and restaurants. We would definitely recommend.
This place might be the best and most well thought out VRBO I have ever stayed at. Clearly the owners stay at this location as they have attended to every detail. The kitchen has every amenity, there was everything youâd need for the beach or pool, the bathroom was well stocked, there is a water and ice dispenser, ample fans and AC. It was steps from a beautiful beach and in easy walking distance to all amenities. Such a perfect stay. Mahalo.
We had such a great stay at Vicky's home away from home. There was everything in it that you needed. The location was fantastic, so close to the pool, tennis courts, beach, and restaurants. Vicky was great to deal with and promptly answered any questions that we had! We look forward to coming back again soon - can't wait! Thanks for everything!
Very very nice place
All good, especially the landlord, Vicky always helped immediately.
The location of the apartment is perfect. The kitchen is perfect.
The bed is big and comfortable, a little bit on the soft side for us but we are very very sporty people and super spoiled back home with our mattress so this is nothing negative. On the contrary, it was soooo comfy!!!
Thanks again for everything
Beautiful, well maintained unit and property. Convenient location to beach, shops and routes. Well supplied and great communication with owners. Definitely recommend.
Great property! Unit is large, clean and stocked with tennis rackets, beach chairs, an umbrella and more! We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!
Perfect location and very cute condo! It has all the amenities you need and it is perfectly situated one block from the beach. I would definitely rent again :)

We are...Jim and Vicky from Snohomish Washington. We have been traveling to Maui for several years and have enjoyed vacationing at the Maui Vista with our beautiful daughter's and our wonderful grandchildren as renters, then owners of our first condo, and now owners of our second condo. We look forward to many wonderful years here making memories to last a lifetime. We manage both of our units here at Maui Vista as we want all of our guests to feel as comfortable as possible knowing that they will be receiving quality from us from beginning, during, and after your stay with us. We hope you enjoy our little piece of Heaven as much as we do!đș
We chose the Maui Vista Resort for its beautiful landscape and perfect central location. It is located on the south side of sunny Kihei directly across from the world famous Charley Young Beach and Kamoloe 1. Surrounded by the best beaches, restaurants, and activities, we have created unforgettable memories. We have always been drawn to Maui Vista Resort for its professional staff, 24 hour security, accessibility to everything we may want or need... and its incredible beauty.
Along with the beautifully landscaped three building complex, Maui Vista also offers three tropical pools, six tennis courts, and a large area for barbecuing your delicious meals. It is so conveniently located to restaurants, activities, beaches, shopping etc. You will find that everything you may need or want is close and in walking distance.
