Hawaii> Wailuku
- 2 bedroom
- 2 bathroom
- Sleeps 4
Oceanfront condo unit is fully furnished. Elevator to all floors. Retro furnishings / vibe. Kitchen fully stocked. Retro appliances. Gorgeous Lanai (balcony) with table, 4 chairs and a padded lounge chair for drinking your Hawaiian coffee, libations and pupu's (Hawaiian for appetizers). You get front row seats to watch the mesmerizing sunrise or spectacular sunset and, during whale season, magnificent views of mommy humpback whales and their babies. An awesome BBQ area with two gas grills next to the ocean with swaying palm trees located on the lush lawn below your condo. You'll have tables and chairs next to BBQ's to eat your meals oceanside :) What a fabulous view cooking and eating alongside the ocean. Tiki lights at ocean edge are on every night. Our condo overlooks the pool, a lush grassy lawn and our rocky/sandy beach with turtles everywhere and then the serene beautiful turquoise blue Hawaiian ocean. Sorry no air conditioning, however, there are fans throughout condo in each room on ceilings and also desk fans in each room. Saving grace is that the tradewinds come thru the front metal screen door and on thru the condo and out the back screen door causing dramatic cooling in condo. Maintenance manager is on premises which is a comfort and we are in contact with him. Our condo location is centrally located on the ocean which is ideal for a starting point to see all the spectacular sites either direction on Maui. This condo complex is a far cry from a touristy feel. Rather, it is a quiet place so if you are looking to party this is NOT your place. Quiet times are 9:00pm and pool closes also at 9:00pm. No pets allowed. No smoking inside condo or outside on balcony ... however A designated smoking section area is located ONLY on the first floor. If discovered smoking in condo or balcony, there will be an automatic $250 fine and your stay will be terminated and vacate property immediately. SEE RENTAL AGREEMENT FOR MORE INFORMATION. Mahalo...

Maalea Bay is an easy drive from the airport and gives access to both sides of Maui. The unit is walking distance from the wonderful Maui Ocean Center Aquarium as well as a delightful beach at the end of the street. The lanai faces Haleakala across the bay. Many sea turtle sightings from the front lawn. Lovely swimming pool. Close to restaurants, farmers markets and snorkeling beaches.

The property itself was well maintained. The unit we stayed in needed major repairs.

The property is located so that both western coasts were easily reachable, as well as being close to nice beach park and marina. Property was very clean with everything you need for cooking. Beds were great for a family of 4 and the living area was comfortable. Nice views and close enough to the airport. There was good and timely information provided by the owner for how to use the property on arrival and departure.

The pros: The central location and view can't be beat, along with turtles front and centre on the rocks as well as watching the whales every day!!! Lynn was most responsive to all our correspondence at any time!!
The cons: The condo is dated and could use some serious TLC. Couch and chairs have seen better days and are very sinky ....twin beds could desperately use new frames....the bathrooms have peeling vinyl and really need to be re-done. Carpet in a beach condo... All cosmetic, and never affected our stay, but with the price we paid, updates need to happen. Having to supply toilet paper, paper towel, dish soap etc is just strange.....I have never experienced this in all my VRBO rentals. Some easy and welcoming touches would go a long way to giving this a great rating......flowers upon arrival.....a welcome basket with coffee, tea and local goodies (Mac nuts etc) This is the first place where none of these things were present.
If you are looking for luxury, this isn't the place. If you are looking for a central Maui location with great views...look no further. We really did enjoy our stay!!! Mahalo

The lanai was facing the ocean, and we had coffee and watched the whales every morning. What a beautiful way to start the day.
Turtles were right off of the lawn, and were feeding in the ocean.
Very clean pool (it's right under the lanai) and was quiet during evening, early morning and nighttime hours.
It was very windy while we were there, and the condo is situated such that the trade winds come from the back of the condo, leaving the lanai protected which was nice. No A/C but fans
Things were mostly clean (windows dirty and spots on carpet). It's an older unit and things such as old kitchen knives, lids that don't match, the sliding door to the lanai was hard to open/close, etc. It could really use a facelift.
I found the manager difficult to work with. Pages of legal jargon and a very confusing check out time. Some listed noon, others listed 11 and received a 'reminder' when we were out by 11:30. For check in, we didn't need to be there at the allowed time, but she checked with us 2x because the cleaner needed extra time to clean beyond the check in time. It was fine, but we felt that we were not welcome.
The twin beds were extremely uncomfortable even after me asking prior to booking. An oversized foam on top of the hard mattress, sheets were cheap and didn't stay on the bed. We bought cotton sheets due to old synthetic and 'sticky' hot sheets.
Overall, the location of the condo units was great (although windy), but I would not recommend this unit to friends.

The property was clean and well maintained. The lack of air-conditioning was not a factor. There was a nice breeze coming in from the ocean. We stayed in February and were able to see turtles on the beach and whales from our balcony.

The property was as described in the listing and I feel good value for Maui. Beautiful grounds and view. We had rain which happens more in January. In spite of this we had a great time sitting on the lanai and watching humpback whales. The shore is rocky but you are just a 5 minute walk from 6 miles of beach.

Wonderful stay. Views from the lanai were excellent - spotted whales each day. Location of condo was ideal for visiting a variety of Maui locales. The condo was clean, quiet, and comfortable with all the amenities. Recommend this condo.

Loved hearing the waves and seeing the many whales from the condo. We enjoyed staying here as it was nice and quiet. The condo had all that was needed for us to cook a meal, walk to some lovely restaurants, enjoy an early morning snorkeling trip and visit the entire island. A great way to start 2023!!!

If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing environment, conveniently located-but not super touristy- look no further!
This condo really made our trip fantastic! The view is beautiful and proximity to the ocean is just perfect- waking up with the sun rising over Haleakala, and the waves lulling us to sleep at night, you really cant beat it! It is in a bit of a wind pocket- but it helps with the heat and humidity. The property is well maintained and everyone is very nice- especially Lynn- who went above and beyond to make sure an issue was fixed before our visit; despite the quick turnaround from the previous guests.
Overall- 5/5 stars from us- we will definitely be back!
