Our stay was so pleasant, thoughtful amenities and easy to follow directions. So close to shopping a wonderful restaurants and the wildlife viewing from the property was an unexpected surprise. We saw turtles and whales daily!
This was such a comfortable and convenient place to stay. It felt like home to us. My family and myself said that because of staying here we had such a pleasant visit to Maui. The furniture and style of the everything just gave us a wonderful place to have downtime and bond . Owners were great giving us a little longer to check out when flights were not going our way. Looking forward to staying here again!!
The pictures do it justice. It's as advertised. Great location with a beautiful view and in the afternoon when it's low tide, walk to the water's edge and see the sea turtles swimming near the lava rocks.
Beautiful condo directly on Maalaea Bay! We really loved the view from the lanai, and the kitchen was well stocked. The location is convenient to visit both sides of Maui. Thank you Richard and Jackie!
I cannot say enough about this condo! Location was great! Everything was easy to get to and airport was about 20 mins. Very well stocked with everything that you can possibly need and more. First floor walk out to pool and ocean. Sea turtles and crabs everyday. Pool was just the right size and sunrise over the volcano every morning. I would highly recommend this condo.
This was a great location in central between Lahaina and Kihei. The Condo was well maintained and just as we expected. The lanai was close to the pool and it was just steps away from the ocean. The owners were helpful and very response. I would highly suggest this property especially families with kids.
We came to get away from winter and work. This location quiet, wind is constant but that keeps the heat easier to sit outside. The condo is well kept, the hosts have been very easy to communicate with. Thank you for providing us with a home away from home.
This property is in a wonderful location! Open the lanai doors and walk out onto a beautifully manicured lawn just steps from the ocean. Lounge chairs await each morning and evening where you can view sea turtles and surfers. Plenty of beach chairs, an umbrella, and snorkel equipment are provided for days at the beach.
The condo was absolutely wonderful. The description of the condo is accurate. Beds wre very comfortable, lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. Very clean! Also all kinds of outdoor equipment in the condo for use. Beautiful oceanfront view right on Maalaea harbor. Gives you lots of opportunities to watch for whales. Nice swimming pool allows you to meet other visitors and residences.
Thank you for making our trip even more spectacular!
We came to Maui to visit family. This ground floor walkout condo, near the pool showed off an awesome sunrise over the bay every morning with sea turtles splashing about. A beautiful peaceful setting that was very enjoyable for all of us. Host very responsive.
A short walk to Sugar Beach at the end of the road, is a beach lovers paradise. Thanks Richard for making your place available & being such a great host. Thereâs so much to enjoy on Maui - or you can do nothing.
I never knew I wanted to visit the Hawaiian Islands. Well worth the grueling flight from the Midwest.
Richard was so helpful when we twice had to return to the condo to get items we had inadvertently left behind. The location is lovely, on the harbor, views of the mountain and ocean. The only drawback are the neighbors. The rules must be strictly followed - donât go into the pool at 8:55 - the hours are 9 am - 9 pm and the neighbors will let you know. Itâs an almost comical rigor. That said, no one was unfriendly, just very strict.
The condo is nice and as pictured 100%
This is our 10th trip to Maui, it the first time weâve not stayed in Kaanapali or Kapalua area. We loved it. Maâalaea is a great central location with easy access to the Airport, Kihei and Lahaina. Walking distance to Beach Bums and a couple small groceries, so there is nearby conveniences. The guys got a pretty good package deal at Kahili Golf Course for the two weeks we were here. We had easy access to get upcountry for a day trip and shopping while they were golfing in Paia or over in Kihei.
This complex is quiet and they donât like too much noise. This unit is perfectly situated on the first floor, right out the door with a short walk to the ocean to watch the turtles on the rocks, or just steps away to the heated pool. You also have great access to the two gas grills on property to prepare your dinner.
We had a great experience with the unit itself, everything you need is here. The microwave bit the dust, but Richard the owner was quick to replace. Definitely will consider a return visit in the future.
We stayed here for a week with our 3 kids ages 7, 5, and 18 months. The condo is exactly as pictured but way better in person! We loved having breakfast on the lanai every morning. The easy access to the pool was so convenient with three little kids. The property manager and staff were so friendly and pleasant. The pool and grills are well kept and cleaned every morning! The residents are also so, so friendly and welcoming. Communication with the host was the cherry on top of our stay. Richard was so responsive and accommodating of our flight times and schedule. Upon our arrival, Maui was hit with a Tsunami warning. To my surprise, Richard called me personally within minutes of the alert being issued to make sure my family was safe and to give us advice on where to go on the island to find temporary shelter. He really did not have to do that but it meant a lot to us that he did. The condo, the host, the location...everything about this place embodied the spirit of Aloha. My family and I will definitely be back again.
Absolutely loved our stay. The condo was exactly as described and was a perfect location to everything that we wanted to do. My husband and son enjoyed using the golf clubs that was available to use with the condo. We would definitely stay here again.
The property was just as described. What wasn't there was the proximity to EVERYTHING on Maui. What a great location for access to all the major sites and cities. Quiet, and beautiful views of the bay. The property is immaculate! People are friendly and will gladly point out things to do and see. Don't forget to watch for turtles feeding right off the sea wall! The owners are very helpful, and willing to share experiences for the trip of a life time! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
A very nice two bedroom condo on bottom floor. Swimming pool is on a few feet away from the patio, which we watched the sunrise every morning. There are also 2 propane bbqâs, which we used, very close. Complex is very quiet and peaceful. The only time we knew someone was above us is when we saw them on their balcony.The VRBO listing was pretty spot on about what extra items were in the unit ( ice chests, beach chairs, etc.). The parking spaces are a little narrow so we chose to park on the street a couple nights instead of squeezing in/out of our rental car. It was not a big deal as there was plenty of street parking available just outside the parking lot from our assigned space.The property/maintenance manager was frequently walking the property and very friendly and personable. He seems to be very focused on the overall appearance of the complex.I messaged the owner on three separate occasions from the time we booked it until we checked out. Each time he responded within what seemed as a matter of minutes. This was a fantastic all around experience and would absolutely rent from Richard and Jackie again.
Another wonderful stay in this condo. Feels like home!
The perfect location for us. Close to anything you want to do. The condo has everything you need to feel like home. And the people you meet there seem like old friends.
Amazing time in Maui, was our first time here, the unit is exactly as listed, owners were easy to reaxh if you have any questions, location was great for us, it was quiet and peaceful but not to far if you wanted to go anywhere, you litterally can watch the whales during whale season right fro. The linai, we will definitely be returning.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The unit was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with all the necessary items for prepping meals. It was also well stocked with beach gear. The walkout patio added to our stay as we were able to easily access the waterfront lounge chairs and enjoy the wonderful view of Haleakala. The landscaping of the resort was beautifully maintained and manicured. Our proximity to the pool was great as well. Thanks for making our first visit to Maui a wonderful one!
Weâve been to Maui a few times and love both the Kihei and Lahaina areas. This location gave us easy access to both! Well equipped for our family of two parents, two grandparents and two kiddos. Small sandy beach near the harbor to walk to each morning but we drove to the southern beaches for snorkeling. Thanks for letting us stay and we canât wait to come back!
Jackie and I grew up in the Pacific Northwest before settling in Lodi, California wine country in 1991. We enjoy Hawaii for the remarkable way the people, views and experiences completely dissolve all stresses for a truly relaxing vacation experience.
Ma'alaea Kai is an often undetected property in the central valley of Maui on the south coast. The property is maintained immaculately with arguably the nicest lawn on the island. The proximity to the swimming pool, barbeques in addition to being on the first floor makes the large private lawn like your own backyard. Waking to the sun rising out of the beach bedroom window directly over 10,023 foot Mt. Haleakala is one of the highlights of a trip to this property.
If you are searching for the best all around experience Maui has to offer you will not be disappointed in this property at Ma'alaea. Being in a quiet area and the most central to all attractions and sites on Maui this condo will meet all of your getaway expectations. In 2020 we installed a whole house ducted AC system to add to the year round comfort at Ma'alaea Kai unit 110.
