Property Description
“IMMACULATE"..."IMPECCABLE"..."FRESH" One of the most beautiful and luxurious ground floor units in all of Ma'alaea. Full remodel just completed with all brand new designer furniture/appliances/finishes/surfaces/accessories, plus stunning original art paying respect to Maui's rich heritage and emerald colors.
If you're a foodie, you'll love the kitchen as it's outfitted for EVERY imaginable culinary need if you desire cooking your own gourmet meals. (The brand new Euro double-oven induction range is a total joy to cook with.) For your convenience, you'll enjoy your own in-unit washer/dryer, and our assigned parking space is 10 steps to the front door. (No hassling elevators) All-new central A/C, ultra hi-def TV’s, Sonos sound system, wine refer, remote solar shade, beach gear, and of course, high-end coffee and espresso machines. Bottom line: We want to provide you with all the creature comforts of a beautiful oceanfront home so you can feel inspired, relaxed, and totally refreshed.
You'll be staying at the most private end of the famed Maalaea Kai Resort, and only 20 steps from the surf's edge and local sea-turtle sanctuary. We're approximately 200' from our private swimming pool, so instead of hearing kiddie noises, the only sound you hear is the constant surf and tropical breezes passing through the palm trees.
'The Kai' is famous for its golf-green landscaping, stunning Haleakala sunrises, quiet vibe and the perfect central location to every island amenity. (Our guest reviews rave about the location and laid-back Hawaiian vibe). And, were just a short 5-minute walk to either the sugar sands of uncrowded Maalaea Beach or Maalaea Harbor.
We co-own/manage the adjacent ground floor unit (VRBO #1485275) and between our two units, we've been honored with 100% 5-star guest reviews. (Many of our repeat guests book both units for larger family gatherings and we invite you to do this as well for a discounted rate) .
Yes, we're neatnik-perfectionists, and because we're in the business of giving people J-O-Y, we're equally passionate that you have the absolute best Maui experience imaginable when staying in our home.
Last, we offer 100% refunds if you have to cancel *for any reason* up to the day before your arrival...no questions asked.
Mahalo!
John and Trish

This property is perfect! It has everything you need, including boogie boards, snorkel gear, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and anything else you can probably think of! It's clean, comfortable, and a great location! The nearby beaches are not busy at all! I will recommend to anyone visiting Maui to stay here!

I would stay here again without hesitation. Location is terrific. Only a 3 min walk to Starbucks and only 100 feet to the ocean from your door.

Amazing property just steps from the ocean and all the sea turtles and whales you could watch. Incredibly responsive owner/host and unit was as well-appointed as any we've ever stayed in with VRBO. Quite literally had everything we needed -- extra toilet paper, yoga mat, great beach chairs and towels, remarkable kitchen, etc. Check-in was incredibly easy and the unit was clean with everything working perfectly. We're frequent VRBO guests and have never had a property live up to, and beyond, everything we expected -- until this one! And we loved the quieter south side of Maui with a convenient drive to great restaurants and beaches at Wailea.

My husband and I stayed and our two teen daughters, escaping to Maui from the cold of Minnesota. We absolutely loved the central location to explore Maui!John and Trisha are excellent hosts. The condo was immaculate and had all the extras from beach chairs to reef-safe sunblock to a well-stocked kitchen. We so so appreciated the communication and suggestion of activities from John. They had a wonderful welcome gift waiting for us of coffee and chocolates!We hope to be guests in the future. I highly recommend staying at this condo!!!

The condo was in a great location and perfectly decorated. John was very responsive with questions and helped me plan a fun little Christmas surprise for my family. We liked being on the ground floor so we could walk in and out of our condo to sit and relax on the chairs right outside or walk along the wall to watch the sea turtles. We also saw whales right from the condo! It was an easy walk to several restaurants and to the beach. We absolutely loved our time in Maui.

Immaculate condo and streamlined everything! The building and property are well maintained and so peaceful. The interior of the condo is super clean and tastefully decorated. It’s a serene environment all the way around. Sunrises with the turtles, easily 25 turtles a day floating just off the rocks getting their morning feed from the rocks. The pool is lovely, and the location is fantastic. We can’t wait until we can do a return trip! Beds are comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked, and the outdoor gas grills are a short thirty paces from back patio door. We really appreciated the WiFi and the ease of getting checked in and out. This was our best VRBO experience we have ever had. Simply fantastic!

John and Trish are super hosts! The place is gorgeous and located feet from the ocean. Everything was seamless and the property is set up beautifully for a tropical retreat! I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Fabulous location in small town close to beaches and great walks. Property was immaculate and exactly as described in the listing and the welcome package from the owner was super helpful. Can only say ‘book’!

The condo was exactly as pictured-beautiful, very clean and great kitchen with all items one might need. Everything in the place was top notch! A fun perk was being able to walk out the sliding glass doors and off the lanai to the waterfront and see some sea turtles. John was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with- would definitely come back again.

Good property, nice unit with everything we needed for cooking. Turtles swimming in front of the property are amazing. Only feedback: pool has very little shade and this part of the island can be quite windy. Easy to get to other parts of the island, very centrally located.

My family and I (3 kids under 9) stayed here for our week-long Maui trip and it was perfect. The view can’t be beat and ground floor location was great. It’s centrally located on the west side of Maui and a quick 20 min to the east side. The unit was very clean and well-appointed - we didn’t want for anything. The owner was quite responsive. We were walking distance to the aquarium and my kids loved the pancakes at the general store - they’re huge! We would absolutely stay here again, it was a wonderful place to come back to after a day experiencing Maui!

We truly enjoyed our stay Maalaea! John and Trish were amazing hosts! The condo had everything we needed and more. It was so nice to be able to grab a beach chair and a cooler, supplied by the hosts, and take a stroll down the road to the beach. The view was nothing short of fabulous! We loved waking up to seeing Haleakalā and all the fascinating sea turtles. We have never seen so many sea turtles before. The pool was also great, so easy to get to and could always get spot. We actually had the pool to ourselves several times. If we are so lucky to come back, we would stay here for sure! Mahalo!

We loved everything about our stay here. Perfect location in walking distance to the harbor- book a snorkel cruise! Just minutes away from amazing restaurants and shops! John is the perfect host- the kitchen is fully stocked and he even had some Maui coffee and Island treats for us upon arrival. You will have your own convenient parking spot just a few feet from the condo, and then right out the back door is the ocean. Just steps away! We had fun watching the turtles and crabs each afternoon and in the morning we would lounge on comfy chairs to see the sunrise. My 11 year old loved the pool too! The beds are super comfortable and the condo stays nice and cool. If this place is an option for your vacation- book it! You won’t regret it. 🌺
