The Ma'alaea Kai Penthouse Suite is a two-story, non-smoking unit with two full bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living room, and lanai. It can easily accommodate two couples or a family of four. Probably the best feature is a two-story, open-beam ceiling living room, and lanai. A two-story, glass wall opens to a breathtaking view of the ocean. Our condo does not have Air Conditioning. The tradewinds blow over the isthmus and through the condo bringing a natural coolness.
As you plan your ultimate Maui vacation, don't settle for a 'partial ocean view.' The Ma'alaea Kai Penthouse Suite looks out on a huge ocean view and the pool, surrounded by meticulously-kept grounds. In the distance is the ancient Haleakala Volcano.
The Ma'alaea Kai Penthouse Suite is handsomely decorated with a Japanese-Hawaiian flair so consistent with the island's culture. The upstairs bedroom enjoys an open view of the ocean through the two-story windows. You can even see the ocean from the upstairs shower! The living room and lanai have a spacious feeling that literally mirrors the deep blue Pacific Ocean.
The kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you will need for a quick breakfast or a gourmet dinner served out on the lanai. All the appliances are new including microwave, toaster, coffee grinder for fresh Kona coffee, and a four-speed smoothie machine so you can enjoy all the incredible tropical fruit available here on Maui.
The Ma'alaea Kai is simply the best maintained and most beautiful condominium-hotel along the Ma'alaea Bay coast. A huge, putting green-style lawn and bright blue pool are the only things that separate you from the ocean. Palm trees sway in the tradewinds and gorgeous tropical flowers bloom everywhere. Maui Sea turtles have made their home here, you can see them from our lanai. At times we count up to 50 of them feeding off the rocks right in front of the condo. You can walk right in and snorkel with them along with many other tropical fish varieties. Explore the ancient underwater caverns that are just past the surf. Unlike most other resort areas on Maui, Hauoli Street is a short (one-fourth mile) tropical walk to Sugar Beach. Just north, a two-minute walk takes you to Ma'alaea Bay boat harbor for all your boat trips and shopping at the Ma'alaea Harbor Village. Trilogy is our favorite boat, we just took a trip to Lanai and saw schools of spinner dolphins on our way there and back! Amazing, more than we could count, heaven on earth!
Sugar Beach is just a five-minute walk from the Ma'alaea Kai and is probably the quietest beach on Maui, and one of the longest. You can walk or run along this beach for miles and pass only a few other people. Sugar Beach is great at sunrise or sunset or for catching rays midday without another soul in sight. Because it is tucked around the bay, Sugar Beach is an ideal place for children to enjoy the ocean where waves and undertow are always safe.
The Ma'alaea small boat harbor is one of only a few such harbors on Maui. This is the island's main launching point to the crystal-clear, tropical waters of Maui. Snorkeling trips, deep-sea fishing, and sunset cruises all begin right here and you do not even have to park. Above the harbor is the Ma'alaea Harbor Village, a small but quaint shopping area with four excellent restaurants. The Maui Ocean Center is also located here and a visit is highly recommended. Tante's Fish Market Restaurant is very popular and has the longest ...

Condo is right by the harbor, and a few food and drink spots to walk to. So nice and easy. No traffic no cars. Just turtles sunrises pizzas and boat drinks. 100% will return to this area again and 100% would stay at this condo again. Mahalo !

At first blush, the location doesn’t seem quite ideal. While on the water, you’re not really at the beach and you’re a bit outside the usual tourist spots. But we quickly realized this is a feature not a bug. The condo is centrally located and makes it exceptionally easy to go just about anywhere on the island. You’re also close enough to Kahului to head into town for supplies or a relatively cheap (by Maui standards) meal. There are definitely proper beaches in walking distance, albeit less frequented ones. For our family this was pretty much perfect and you really can’t beat the pleasure of waking up every morning to unobstructed views of Haleakala. Watched the sunrise over the mountain every day of our stay.

Very well maintained with a very good view. We loved all the extras that came with the property and also how easy the owners were to deal with. Would definitely recommend this spot to anybody looking for a 2 bd oceanfront condo

The condo is the nice’s VRBO I have rented. Master loft bedroom and bath are a 10. View from your bed of the bay in the morning is breathtaking.

We rented this unit for the Maui marathon and the location was excellent - almost exactly the halfway point. The unit is a bit “tired” as others have said but clean, decently equipped and has a wonderful waterfront view. The posted pictures really don’t do it justice. I thought the water was further away than it is. The loft layout means that you can hear anything in the entire unit but we knew that when we rented. Overall a great place and good value! Wonderful stay!

The apartment was just as advertised. It was very clean, great location (can walk to marina and a couple of restaurants), beautiful views of the water! Also, giant turtles within steps! Owners very responsive—we thought there was a leak and they were great! Was our fault but they were very nice. Lots of staples in the kitchen as well as every water toy needed. We’d stay there again—highly recommend.

What an amazing place to stay in Maui! The view from bed every morning was amazing. I’m glad we did this instead of staying at a resort. The kids loved watching the sea turtles. We really appreciated the cooler, chairs, boogie boards, and umbrella provided in the condo. It made our beach days amazing. Also laundry available a few steps away we went home just needing to unpack. Todd and Stefani were great hosts and made sure everything went well. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

We loved everything about this property. Loved the location. So quiet and peaceful yet so close to everything. We had peaceful days and then fun, active days. The owners were amazing. We ran into a tiny issue beyond their control and not only did they notify us they compensated us for the slight inconvenience. We will definitely come back. I was so sad to leave. You should definitely stay here..you cannot beat the view!!!!
