“IMMACULATE"...."AMAZING"....."REFRESHING"...."SO CLOSE TO THE TURTLE SANCTUARY!".....are some of the descriptors from our Guest Reviews....
Located directly on beautiful Maalaea Bay, savor stunning sunrises over majestic Haleakala every morning in this newly remodeled and meticulously maintained ground floor unit. Located on the most private corner of the complex with the premium views, and literally 50’ from your lanai to the our famed Sea Turtle sanctuary. With straight-on and direct southerly views to Molokini and constant whale watching all winter, this is truly paradise. No hassling with elevators…just park in your reserved parking spot 20' away and walk straight in the front door! You will also appreciate that our unit is away from the community pool, thus adding to your privacy and solitude.
We recently completed our full remodel, including all new furniture, kitchen/appliances, finest bedding/linens, paint, electronics, wide-plank flooring throughout....so no musty or dirty carpet. We are also one of the few units with both central A/C and our own washer and dryer for your added convenience.
Our exclusive 5-star reviews inspire us to continue in our relentless dedication to insure each and every one of our guests can focus on enjoying their vacation with *fresh*, *sparking clean*, *immaculate*, and comfortable accommodations that evoke a true Aloha spirit.
The beautiful Maalaea Kai complex is renowned for it’s meticulous ‘golf course-type’ landscaping, friendly atmosphere, Tiki Torches, and social time at the BBQ area. (The DCS BBQ’s are the best money can buy). The recently renovated pool and BBQ areas are spotless and a joy to use.
If you crave walking on or swimming in a sandy beach, you’re a few minutes stroll to the unspoiled HAYCRAFT BEACH PARK/MAALAEA BEACH, boasting 3+ MILES of gentle, swimmable sandy beachfront. Maalaea Beach is arguably one of the most beautiful, unspoiled, and surprisingly unused beaches on Maui. (Google it!) Plus, it's located directly across from the beautiful Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. Or, from your unit, take a 3-minute walk in the opposite direction to Maalaea Harbor for a sunset sail, whale watch excursion, snorkeling trip to Molokini, deep-sea fishing, shopping, or visit the nationally acclaimed Maui Ocean Center Aquarium or Seascape Restaurant for a first-class dining experience.
This Unit is perfect for one or two couples, (Brand new King and Queen beds), however we’ve outfitted it with an ultra-high quality sofa-bed w/pillow-top if you need the extra sleeping space.
We also own/manage the adjacent ground floor 2BR/2BA unit (VRBO #2356364) and between our two units, 100% OF OUR GUESTS have provided 5-star 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.
Once you book, we'll also send you our curated and constantly-updated 'Things to Do/Places to Go' list that covers our latest and highest recommendations on every possible aspect of your visit. Our guests love this and consistently mention this added benefit in their reviews.

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!

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.

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.

The property is in an ideal location ground level 20 feet from the ocean! Beautiful views of the harbor, Haleakala, Molokini, and more. Multiple turtles right in your back yard, gorgeous sun rises, and sunsets.
The beach park 5 minute walk is fantastic. The harbor is 5 minute walk to a great island store, aquarium, pacific whale foundation, and more:)
Hosts were great! Highly recommend a stay here.
Aloha,
Kevin &Sharon
