Sleep to the sound of the lapping surf, watch whales breaching (in season, Dec-March) from your lanai or the beach below or catch a ride on a whale watching boat a few hundred yards from the property. Stroll the boat docks at picturesque Maalaea Harbor, with an array of shops and restaurants, a few blocks away.
This spacious (1100 sf) condo has been completely updated with all new furnishings and art, granite counters, and new resort-level mattresses. The in-wall AC in the living room and concrete construction keep things cool.

The primary bedroom features a new king size bed and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom also features a new king size bed. The living room features a queen size sofa sleeper with a memory foam mattress. The kitchen features a spacious layout, custom counter tops and a flat top stop for cooking your favorite meals with your family.
A heated, fresh-water ocean front pool awaits below, along with gas grills. The location cannot be beat: it is located a few minutes from everything that more crowded Kihei has to offer, and convenient to Lahaina and the airport. Everything has been lovingly and thoughtfully upgraded by its owners. Free and convenient parking.

The room that was given to us had a bit of an issue with cleanliness. However, it was quickly and efficiently addressed by Vrbo / Property Manager and the issue was resolved in a timely manner. We are grateful for the help that was provided to us and even though there was a little hiccup at the beginning of our stay, the rest was awesome!The property had a nice pool, it was close to the beach that had sea turtles!
Highly Recommend for Families
by Patricia
5/5
We stayed here for 8 days and it was perfect for my little family. The place was quiet, and had all the beautiful views from our lanai. The place had everything that we needed for our stay, including beach chairs and umbrellas, all the appliances including a rice cooker, and an AC unit + fans that cooled down the whole condo nicely. We also loved that we were able to use the washer/ dryer for our laundry. The condo has a swimming pool which was a nice touch for the kids to take a break from the beach. We did find out that beach is not accessible from this property, you have to go around and the beach is a 5 min walk from the parking area of the property, not a problem for us as we mainly left the premise and explored many different beaches on Maui. We also like that this property is central to West Maui and South Maui, making it a happy middle to go wherever you'd like. Airport was 17 mins away which was a nice straight shot. Highly recommend this Airbnb!

My sister-in-law and I loved staying here! It was very clean. The condo had everything we needed. We could hear the waves from our room. There was an air conditioner in the living room area with fans in the living room area fans in both bedrooms. It did get a little warm in the bedrooms at night. The beach is a very short walk away. We would definitely stay here again.

Was very disappointed that you had a 10 minute walk on the street to get to a beach. Need small fans in bathrooms to help with humidity and orders. It would be helpful to have ice trays in the freezer. Enjoyed the art work and the pool was great!
We would definitely stay again.

The view from the balcony was exceptional, exactly as pictured. We loved the location of this property. It is central to roads leading to all points on the island and only 15 minutes from the airport. It was also extremely quiet. The kitchen was well-stocked. Extra beach chairs and beach towels were provided. The window a/c is small for the unit, but extra fans made it comfortable.

Our stay in #314 was great, our only complaints are: - the toilet in the ensuite bathroom had some leak, and so triggered a frequent (about every five minutes) noisy, squeaky water refilling the tank that was bothersome at night. - the kitchen sink disposal was not working until I found and pushed the reset button on the bottom of the unit under the sink. Recommendations: - provide some plastic glasses to use at the pool and in the bathrooms - install fans in bathrooms so things don't steam up when taking showers

Wow! What an amazing month we had at this property. The grounds were super well maintained and the kids had a blast at the pool almost every day. Super short walk down to a very nice beach that had plenty of room to spread out without being on top of other families. Walkable to the aquarium which has a bunch of really neat shops and some restaurants. Our fav was point break pizza, so definitely check them out! Plenty of beach chairs and two sizes of coolers as well as some beach mats and umbrellas. We thoroughly enjoyed Maui and this property and we hope to come back again soon!
Thank you so much!

Maalea condo
by Claudette
5/5
Beautiful property! The maintenance staff was constantly grooming the grounds. This suite was newly painted white which made it feel very clean & fresh. The only advice would be about the bathroom showers, the grout could have been redone to make it feel as clean as the rest of the suite. However even with this being said the bathrooms are very clean. The beds all had white dressings & were very clean & comfortable. Paintings/decor suited the sweet very well & felt very Hawaiian/summer. The refrigerator & ice maker also worked well. The kitchen was fully stocked which was great for us because we cooked everyday. Overall the condo was very spacious. It was very easy to park our vehicle & we had options to bring things up through stairs or elevators. There are various fruit trees growing on the property which was very cool. Banana trees, mango tree, passion fruit tree & even a Pomelo tree! There were few small ants around edge of living room when we got there. But there was bait in the closet & we put it out & by next day they were all gone, it didn't seem anything out of the ordinary for Hawaii though. There were no other bugs in the unit & again it felt very clean. This condo is on the south side of Maui & is extremely windy, so at night it was cool w/just the fans, we did not need to use the air conditioner. We had to drive to grocery stores, we enjoyed it being quiet here. The beach out front to the left was very beautiful, we saw many sea turtles. We would stay again

Great ocean view & quiet retreat. Right next to the bay with a little shopping center/ restaurants near by. The beach is relaxing and within a couple minutes from the location. The location is perfectly isolated and within in a few minutes from more congested parts of the Island. We had a great time! Mahalo!

Loved Our Stay!
by Steven

We loved our stay here - it was very homey. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The beach chairs and coolers were especially useful for day trips and beach days. Having fans in each room meant we didn't need to use the AC. Had a perfect view of the ocean from the balcony. The premises were very well kept; quiet times were enforced so there was no late-night issues or noise. The location was very central to the island as a whole. We had a car, so it meant we could easily get to all parts of the island when exploring. The public beach beside the property was amazing. I think it is underrated, we saw lots of fish and turtles while snorkeling. We would absolutely stay here if we go back to Maui!
Wonderful View!
