Very nice temperature in de condo
Just a phenomenal place to stay! The ocean is right out the back door. The General Store is within walking distance. Great food and coffee. Easy drive to all of the places we wanted to go. They made everything very simple…communication, check-in, amenities, info on everywhere to go, etc. We could not be more happy with our choice!
The beautiful view was amazing! We truly appreciated the quiet side of the island. Walked to restaurants, aquarium, shops, and the general store.
Accurate listing, great location, amazing view!

This is an immacculately well kept condo and property in a centrally located area. John has thought of everything you need whether it is heading out to the beach that is a quick 5 mins stroll away or spending a leisurely day grilling and swimming onsite. Everyday we were greeted by sea turtles just 50 yards from the lanai and most days we could see humpback whales swimming offshore. This was one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in and we are already dreaming of our next holiday stay. The whole family enjoyed time spe
We were very pleased with our accommodations! The hosts supplied beach chairs, cooler, and beach umbrella: so nice! There was a nice beach within walking distance and we visited with the turtles nightly. Nice restaurant s close by too!
The condo and location were perfect for our family vacation. We enjoyed the beautiful view every morning. I would stay here again.
My family and I traveled to Maui to celebrate my late mother’s birthday, and wow what an amazing stay we had at John’s condo.
As others have mentioned, the view is spectacular and you will definitely see turtles every day. It is dream like.
However, what makes John’s condo really stand out (in my humble opinion) is his kindness, flexibility and thoughtfulness of amenities.
John was kind and flexible when our flight was canceled and we needed a late check out, and he also allowed me to add my sister to our condo when she decided to join. Also, we have stayed in Maui many times, but never had so many thoughtful amenities in our condo like sunscreen, kids toys, boogie boards, well-stocked pantry, etc.
We had a heavenly stay at John’s and would love to return in the future. Mahalo!!!
This was our first visit to Maui and it did not disappoint! The Condo was clean, nicely decorated, and well appointed. Everything we needed was there!
But the view… it couldn’t be beat! To enjoy my morning beverage (Diet Coke) and read upon waking up was just delightful. As were the many walks along the water.
We liked the location- felt it was central to so many things. We used their provided activities document quite a bit! The Road to Hana day and the crater day were our favorites! But we also really liked being able to relax right outside.
Thanks to John & family for a great home away from home! And for being reachable when we had questions.
Fantastic host. Well appointed home with so many extras. Comfortable, quiet, a great place to relax and unwind.
We had an amazing stay. The condo was in the perfect central location in Maui. It had everything we needed and the beds were extremely comfortable. We appreciated the snorkel gear, towels, etc being available for our use. Waking up to that view everyday was everything. We hoped to see whales and our dreams came true! John was wonderful and his list of things to do was very helpful - it was spot on. We will definitely be back. Thank you John and family!
My wife and son and I traveled to Maui to participate in our daughter’s engagement. We found John to be an exceptional host - checking in with us periodically to make sure everything was going well. In particular, as we experienced significant delays inbound (8+ hrs) he was kind enough to drop off some food and wine for us due to our arrival at 1 am.
The property was exactly as described - a waterfront unit with a short walk to the beach. Turtle viewing and whale watching were a daily activity! We largely ate out but the kitchen was well stocked and cooking would have been a pleasure. The marina and aquarium are just a few minute walk and we found the location convenient as a launching point for activities all around the island. The condo was everything we hoped for in a VRBO. We highly recommended it to anyone planning a trip!
Thanks John for being such a gracious host. It was a trip we will always remember!
We arrived to find the property looking even better than the pictures! Spotless, comfortable and beautifully appointed. Communications with the owners were fabulous - check-in was a breeze, and they even provided a comprehensive list of things to do, restaurant recommendations; they thought of everything! Couldn't have been happier! The property is truly paradise - peaceful, calm, inviting and luxurious. ENJOY!
Picking the right location to stay in Maui can be daunting, finding the perfect place, much more so. For us, Maalaea Bay was the idyllic spot, and this first-floor condo was as close to perfect as we could find. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable, adjacent to the aquarium, marina and a general store with great sandwiches, coffee, and snacks. It’s central location, made the island’s points of interest easily accessible.
From the moment we walked in the front door of the unit, we felt at ease. Being a first-floor unit, it was serene and tranquil. The lanai offered breathtaking views of the bay and our morning coffees were paired with theatrical displays of breaching whales. The kitchen was generously supplied with just the right amount of cooking utensils and the beach bags, chairs, coolers, and beach towels were a welcomed bonus.
Our host, John, was responsive and accessible and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was pleasant. We can’t thank him enough for the great suggestions of things to do and places to go and for hosting us in his beautiful home. It made for a relaxing and carefree vacation.
Million dollar view from which we saw whales before even walking off the patio. Condo is great and the location is perfect for day trips in any direction. Hosts were most accommodating, super friendly, and provided great information on where to go and what to do. Quite a memorable week on magical Maui.
This condo is very well maintained and equipped. The patio is 50 feet from the seawall with a spectacular view of Maalaea Bay (which was teeming with humpback whales that we could watch from our patio) and Haleakala volcano. The hosts were wonderful and were staying in the condo next door when we arrived. The location is perfect for exploring the island.
The condo was perfect for a weeklong stay with husband and parents. Location was quiet and away from tourist busyness. Walking distance to Maalaea pier and harbor activities and several restaurants. Easy drive to everything else. Walking out the back door to see turtles in the mornings was an unbelievable experience. This house and host were amazing, providing everything we needed and more. On the rare occasion we had a need or question, John took care of us immediately. We so enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.
Great location, beautiful view, turtles in the mornings, comfortable condo with everything we needed. John was a wonderful host with ample and helpful information for our stay.
