About this property

Maui's Best OCEANFRONT Condo!!! See whales, turtles & sunrises from our lanai!

Aloha and Mahalo for visiting our condo. The Maalaea community is Maui's best kept secret. Our 2nd floor oceanfront condo has been completely updated and modernized for your enjoyment.

Upon opening the door you will be greeted with an amazing view of the ocean and feel the trade winds of Maui throughout this open and airy condo.

The kitchen features recessed lighting, extensive modern white cabinetry, granite counters, large island, undercabinet lighting, microwave, built in oven, cooktop, and a full size refrigerator and dishwasher. There is also a washer and dryer in the condo which is a huge benefit. We have added a touch of Hawaiianna to the condo with natural BOHO rattan bamboo furniture, including bar stools, chairs and tables.

Should you need to work while in paradise you can use the free standing desk equipped with 7 outlets, a light and clock, and you will also find USB equipped outlets throughout the condo. The internet is free wired and wireless, and has hotel level high speed connectivity. The condo also features a private landline telephone with free US and (most of) Canada calls.

The living room and bedroom feature Samsung smart TVs with cable television.

The bedroom features a new Beautyrest King bed, large closet and a tall armoire with drawers. The bathroom features a tall toilet, walk in shower, quartz countertop, recessed mirror cabinet, and lots of racks for hanging.

The lanai is by far the most popular part of the our condo. Oceanfront and private, the lanai features a bar height Polywood table and chairs perfect for watching the sunrise over Haleakala and all the sea life that Maui has to offer.

To keep you cool, the lanai also features a Coolaroo roller shade. The condo features a wall air-conditioner however you will find the nice Maui trade winds keep you cool.

Right on Maalaea Bay, where whales entertain you (in season) and turtles frolic in the water, our condo will not disappoint you!

Outside are beautifully kept grounds, a bbq area, tables for dining, and a solar heated hot tub and pool. There is a small beach area(see photos) with gated access which is perfect for sitting in beach chairs while the sun sets, or for watching the turtles who often come on shore to warm up. The beach also is great for hunting for glass and you will find some of it within the condo as we have added accents. The water access is by far a benefit of our location as snorkeling, kayaking, or SUP has never been easier. There are many sources for rentals in the area.

Beach walking has never been better when you stay with us. Access to Sugar Beach is just a short walk down the street where beautiful sand will greet you for 5+ miles. You can easily walk to Kihei and enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds of Maui on your way.

The condo is centrally located and close to activities and attractions, but quiet and relaxing....not a noisy, busy resort! You will find that returning to our condo after a busy day of activities will give you a sense of calm and relaxation!

A very short walking distance from our condo is the popular Maui Ocean Center & Aquarium with restaurants and shopping options. Fine dining to a quick burger is available by a short walk. Across from the Maui Ocean Center is Maalaea harbor where water activities are available for snorkeling, diving, sightseeing and dining adventures. The central location of our condo lies between two major tourist areas, just a 20 minute drive in either direction, to Kihei / Wailea on one side and Lahaina/Kaanapali on the other.

We are a 15 minute drive from the airport, and five minutes from two golf courses....all the attractions on the island are nearby!

We will also help you in recommending rental car agencies that are affordable as we rent a car every year we visit.

We have owned and rented this condo for 17 years and we are not new to the process. We will make your stay the best it can be and you can communicate with us anytime.

Please review our photos and let us know what questions you have!

Great place away from Kihei
We really enjoyed our stay here. There was no piece of equipment that wasn't available in the kitchen! The communication was excellent! And we were able to sleep with the door to the lanai open (2nd floor) every night and hear the waves crashing. I miss that sound!

We celebrated our Anniversary here and loved every minute! Property is perfectly located, loved seeing Molokini, Haleakala from the lanai; but mostly loved watching the turtles feeding during the day and parading in to rest on the beach at night. We love hiking and snorkeling and had such a great time! Walked to the harbor to join a snorkeling catamaran to Molokini (Trilogy I- excellent), drove to Hana the back loop and enjoyed the all the hikes and views, also Huli Huli chicken at the Red Sand beach! Ken’s tips and suggestions were so helpful and we appreciated all his advice! Grounds of condo are beautiful and well maintained as well!! Very thankful for a blessed trip!!

Cozy and relaxing condo
My wife and I enjoyed or eight-night stay in this cozy and relaxing condo. The unit was very clean, well equipped, and offered a fantastic vantage for watch the numerous pods of whales right from the lanai. The cable and internet worked well but the TV was very small. Normally wouldn't ever watch TV on vacation but we enjoyed watching the local vacation travel info site to learn of the island activities. The condo property manager was enjoyable to talk with and offered tips and information on the many great thing to see and do while in Maui.

About the host

Hosted by Ken & Lori

Host profile image
Aloha and Mahalo for visiting our Maui condo. We have owned the condo 17 years and have managed it ourselves, no middle management company. We will take care of you during your stay and communicate with you at anytime. We stay at our condo 3 months a year to get out of Michigan winters and we maintain the condo ourselves ensuring it is up-to-date and provides you an enjoyable visit to paradise. We LOVE the close proximity to the ocean and you will too....oceanfront has never been better on Maui, and at such an affordable rate. You can hear the ocean from the bedroom and we like to spend every morning on the lanai watching sunrise over Haleakala and turtles frolicking in the shoreline. At sunset, we most often get a visit from a turtle on our small beachfront as they come in to warm up. Our area is quiet, provides free parking and is centrally located in Maalaea, at the North end of Sugar Beach. We can't wait to host you and guide you through your memorable trip to Maui.

We also rent a car every year we visit so we can also provide recommendations on local car agencies that are affordable.

Why they chose this property

Maalaea is Maui's best kept secret. Surrounded by former sugar cane fields, the area is undeveloped, clean, quiet, and comfortable. This is not a noisy resort or a busy tourist spot. We are in close proximity to those areas, but there is nothing like coming back to our condo in the peaceful Maalaea community. Within walking distance is the Maalaea Harbor Shops featuring the Aquarium, restaurants and great boat excursions. Our central location puts you within 20 minutes of the airport, Lahaina, Kihea, or Wailea and within 45 minutes of Kapalua, Paia, and Upcountry.

What makes this property unique

Guests tell us that our oceanfront lanai is their favorite place to spend their time. The ever-changing landscape of sunrise, breaching whales (in season), frolicking turtles and tour boats makes it easy to love Maalaea. Dining oceanfront is also a key benefit of our condo as our bbq area provides tables to dine under the stars. Because we visit the condo often, it is well equipped with appliances, tools and gadgets to make your stay enjoyable. Our condo is not like the typical rental condo you might find elsewhere, with 2 plates, a bent fork and a dull knife....chances are our kitchen is equipped like yours at home. You didn't come to Maui on vacation to cook, but if you want to, we have it all!
