Property Description
Guests rave about their stay at our condo. Pictures cannot fully convey the peaceful, positive energy of this special unit. Please check out the YouTube video at the end of the slideshow for the view from the lanai balcony. We are dedicated to ensuring our guests have a wonderful time.
We do not charge a damage deposit. Cleaning costs are $180 and per booking plus a $50 admin fee.
VRBO/HomeAway will not allow us to specify the number of guests as two adults and two children—so we are forced to put down that we host 4 people. The suite is a 1 bedroom condo with a comfortable queen size pull out sofa.
We DO NOT require any damage deposit—we never charge for broken things or swim gear that does not make it back from the beach. Accidents happen, and you should be able to use our condo and our swim gear with full enjoyment—not always fearful of a damage charge. All we ask is to simply let us know so we can replace the item for our next guests.
Yes, our Condo UNIT ITSELF is actual OCEANFRONT.
—Located RIGHT ON Maalaea Bay, Maui, Hawaii, USA. Convenient Central Maui, 20 minutes from Kahului Airport, Kihei, or Lahaina.
Accommodation is a second-floor condominium that sleeps 4. One bedroom with a queen-size bed, and the beautiful living room couch is a convertible, queen-sized sofa bed. One full bath.

QUICK SUMMARY OF ATTRIBUTES:

You have come to the right spot to enjoy the VERY BEST OF MAUI. Our Maalaea Bay Home is very desirable:
* Oceanfront with the waves beneath the lanai.
* Central location – close to the airport in Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, and Lahaina
* On a quiet, low-traffic, peaceful street (aptly named 'Hauoli'—meaning happy or delightful)
* Adjoins a 700-acre wetland that is a preserved National Wildlife Refuge; supports a diverse variety of migratory birds, featuring four miles of undeveloped, sandy, uncrowded beach
* DUCTED AIR conditioning to BOTH living room and bedroom with remote control for separate temperatures in each room—unlike most others advertised, which are merely 'window shaker' A/C units
* Largest pool in Maalaea—now passively heated via rooftop circulation of pool water
* Free WIRELESS BROADBAND INTERNET—work inside or outside
* Cable TV with dozens of channels
* Free long distance calls to the mainland—both USA & Canada
* Bushnell binoculars for whale watching or stargazing

DETAILED BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will have the peaceful sound of the ocean crashing ashore from your fully-equipped, lighted lanai; a restful sound that resonates throughout the spacious living and dining areas. You will breathe in the gorgeous unobstructed daytime view of all of Maalaea Bay, Molokini crater crescent, Kihei, and Mount Haleakala. Stunning sunrises over Mount Haleakala (for those few willing to get up at that hour, it is worth it).
The evenings are just as special; enjoy the soft romance of warm breezes, the tiki-torch-lit shoreline, the sight of a CLEAR MOON-RISE over majestic Mount Haleakala, the light shimmering across the bay.
You will appreciate this one-of-a-kind location. This condo is on the one and only residential street in Ma’alaea Harbor. Enjoy strolling down this quiet tree-lined sidewalk, listening to the birds, and inhaling the delicate fragrance of plumeria blossoms.
At the end of the road is Haycraft Park, just a short walk from the condo. This is where you will either enjoy swimming in sparkling clear waters or start your walk along four miles of beautiful, uncrowded, sandy beach bordering the Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. The walk from our condo to the park is 1/4 mile walk; or you can drive since there is a small lot at the park.
The wildlife refuge was established in 1992 and is home to endangered native water birds, and hosts migratory ducks and shorebirds in fall, winter, and spring. This refuge provides 700 acres of some of the last remaining natural wetland habitat in the State of Hawaii. Kealia Pond is nearly 250 acres when full. The refuge is adjacent to Kealia Beach, which is a nesting ground for the endangered hawksbill turtle.
More than 31 species of birds, such as the endangered Hawaiian stilt and coot, and migrant waterfowl and shorebirds such as the Pacific golden plover use this refuge. You can approach the refuge from your walk along the ocean, or use the roadway to access an interpretive kiosk and boardwalk along the beach and refuge mudflats.
In summer months, the Refuge Pond shrinks, and many more shorebirds congregate here to take advantage of food exposed as the pond recedes. As the pond shrinks, fish are crowded into the remaining water, making them easy prey for black-crowned, night herons.
Another advantage of the CENTRAL LOCATION OF MAALAEA BAY is the proximity of so many attractions, all within easy walking distance. You can stroll to the nearby FIVE-STAR restaurants, the Maui Ocean Center and Aquarium, the Yacht Marina with tour boats for deep-sea fishing and whale watching tours, The Pacific Whale Foundation, and the Maalaea Harbor Village shops and restaurants.
Within the Maalaea Bay community of ten condominiums, Maalaea Kai, the building of Our Ma'alaea Home, stands out as an outstanding facility with well-groomed grounds. Barbecue is a delightful experience, with three grills and dining area just on the shoreline. Relax in the large heated pool, while enjoying the view of the crashing waves.
You will find everything spotlessly clean and completely furnished for all of your needs.
The AIR CONDITIONING is ducted from outside to BOTH the front and rear of our condominium, with INDIVIDUAL REMOTE CONTROLS for each room, affording desired, quiet comfort. FREE BROADBAND Internet plug-in cable hookup is provided.
We have maintained our home as a SMOKE-FREE, pet-free environment for the enjoyment of our guests. Please do not smoke on the lanai inasmuch as the smoke travels to other units. There is no smoking on any of the grounds.

Loved our stay and it was just as advertised. Traveled Jan 14-25 and were able to see whales from the lanai everyday. There is not a beach at the property but it is just a very short walk to a beach park. It was so nice being close to the marina with all the restaurants and shops. All the items we needed were provided, beach towels, chairs, boogie boards and the home comforts as well. Would stay again on another trip. .

Property was found to be “as advertised”. Great location, great neighbors, well manicured facility. Would definitely consider this a repeat location. Only suggestion would be to paint baseboards that have been recently added.

My best friend and I enjoyed our stay. The sounds of the waves at night, waking up to sunrise, and seeing the sunset have been nothing but magical. The place is also spotless and welcoming.I look forward to my return next year!

The location and the view were exactly as described. Quiet and peaceful area. We sat on the the lanai about every night and morning. With binoculars we were able to watch whales. The other things that was great was having, beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. We slept better here than anywhere else on our vacation.

We enjoyed this condo. Great location if you would like to make Maui your next destination. Centrally located in Kihei. Leave your car in the parking lot and walk to beaches, shopping, and restaurants.
The condo was well appointed and had everything you need to make the most of your Hawaiian stay!

We had selected this property based on the many postiive reviews and the 4.98 rating. Our goal was to find a property that was more central to spots all over the island. The unit was well appointed, very clean and easy to find. Our host provided excellent check-in instructions along with very thorough household instructions. One of our biggest surprises was the vastness of the outdoor grounds and the views from the property. Sea turtles were constantly in the rocks eating away at the sea grasses. The boat activity from the nearby harbor was very entertaining as well. Would highly recommend!!!

We traveled to many different locations on the island and our "base" was central to all of them. The place was clean and cozy. The kitchen made eating in a breeze. We would definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking to see as much of Maui as possible!

Unit was clean views of Maalaea Bay were beautiful
Kitchen was very nicely redone. Only one bathroom in unit it could use some work. The tub does not drain. You stand in 3 inches of water every time you shower there’s a note that says hair will clog the drain, but that’s not the issue I have no hair.
View of the bay from Lanai is beautiful, but the outdated old metal furniture set you right at railing Height and blocks your view, they could have updated lanai furniture that lifted you above the railing or maybe a lounging chair
The description says washer and dryer, but no washer and dryer in the unit. You must go down the hall and pay if you need to use the washer and dryer.
We’ve been coming to Maalaea Bay for 30 years fishing, it was nice, but the bathroom could be updated putting a closet washer dryer and would be no big deal and updating the patio furniture would be fantastic. I give it three stars.
