Just left 3 days ago, and already I want to go back! Stayed a full week with our friends, amazing time! The condo is super clean, great layout for two couples or parents/kid room. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We stopped at a grocery store to pick up our food on our way in and were pleasantly surprised to find there were plenty of condiments, spices, etc already there. We saw tons of whales while just sitting on the lanai or on the lounge chairs on the beautiful grassy area of the property. Lots of turtles in the water right along the back side of the property.Location of the condo is great, centrally located on the island to access all the great areas AND within walking distance to a a beach & few restaurants at the harbor. We took cruises out of the Maalaea harbor (snorkeling Molokini and a Dinner Sunset cruise), explored the Kihei beaches, drove the road to Hana and explored the Kaanapali beaches. There's pizza and paninis, an ice cream sandwich shop, a fish/steak spot and a great lunch spot at the harbor. All had fantastic food and drinks. We made breakfasts (except one day we went to Nalu's South Shore Grill in Kihea, 1000% recommend going there) & packed lunches each day and walked to dinner almost every night.The owners have put together an AMAZING collection of maps & information on things to see and do.Communication with the owners before & during our stay was super helpful and responsive.
Probably the best view from the second story balcony of any place I have ever stayed. Condo was very clean and owner provided
many little ammenities that a hotel would not provide. Owner provided great communication before and up to checkin date as well as followup
after checkout. Would recommend this condo to any one and I would definately stay there again in the future
Great location with a beautiful view from the condo. Clean, well furnished and comfy. Super reactive and helpful owner. Can’t ask for more :-)
We could not recommend Maalaea Bay enough. If you’re looking for beach views and sounds, but don’t want all the sand stop looking and book now! The condo was squeaky clean, spacious, and wow that view. The breeze that flowed through the condo with the doors open was amazing. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need down to the first aid kit in one of the drawers. The owners had laminated cards with recommendations on restaurants, sites and excursions/activities.
If you’re lucky enough and Mother Nature provides giant swells it makes for great surf watching! We also enjoyed watching the sea turtles swim in the shallows near the giant rocks.
We were always within 15 min of whatever we found ourselves doing that day. Location, communication, and cleanliness were top notch. We would absolutely rent again.
We had a really nice stay. It's really nice to stay away from the busy areas.
Great condo has perfect layout. The view is amazing and so close to the water. The grounds are beautiful and so quiet and private. Thankful we found this place. Would love to stay again. Property owner has everything there you could possibly need and is great to communicate with. So much great information at your fingertips. Highly recommend!😁
5 stars are not enough, Top shelf, excellent location. well furnished. The owner wrote all the info. regarding restaurants, shops, top scenic sites, beaches with maps. All writings are laminated. well maintain building and grounds. Centrally located. Would stay here again.
We are very happy to have found and booked the apartment for our stay. There are 2 bedrooms, each with an adjacent bathroom. One of the bedrooms has a fantastic view over the complex and you can hear the sound of the Pacific all night long. The kitchen is very well equipped. We found everything we needed to support ourselves. Everything was lovingly prepared. We felt very welcome.
We particularly liked the great view of the well-kept apartment complex and the Pacific Ocean. The apartment complex is mainly used privately by Americans and some are also rented out. The pool was very well maintained, as was the entire complex. Central barbecue facilities are available. We were also able to see turtles.
The apartment is centrally located on Maui, so you can easily reach all parts of the island by car. After a 15-minute drive you are in a busy holiday area with large supermarkets, shops and wonderful beaches. We found it very nice that the apartment had 4 comfortable beach chairs with 2 parasols and other beach equipment.
We would especially like to thank Howard & Kathleen. There are lots of tips about Hawaii, Maui, recommended beaches, restaurants, exploring and much more. We have been in regular contact since booking, so we were able to find out about the terrible fires and the daily changing situation. A big thank you for that. Mahalo.
We are very happy to have visited Maui. Maui is a fantastic, diverse island.

Owner thought of everything. We would definitely stay here again. Don’t pass this place up.
Property owners were super accomodating when a medical issue forced a last minute delay in our trip. Exclellent communication. Maalaea Kai is a stellar property that is maintained to a high standard.
The unit was really comfortable and had all of the the details covered that make for a wonderful vacation. Every beach item you could think of was available, from snorkle gear and a boogie board to multiple chairs and umbrellas, towels and a cooler. We wanted for nothing. The locking screen door was such a great feature. Opening the front and lanai doors let the Maalaea breeze blow through. We didn't need to use the A/C even once during our stay.
We will definately book this unit again on future trips.
Mahalo.
