  We recently returned from a trip to Maui in late June to early July. We had an amazing time at this beautiful condo. It started with the great views off the huge lanai. We were welcomed with a gift basket filled with coffee, fresh fruit and a bottle of sparkling cider. The bedrooms were great with fantastic bathrooms. The grounds were impeccable. The location is central to everything. The best location on the island. This condo exceeded expectations.

  My husband and I were fortunate enough to have stayed in Anne-Marie and Mario’s wonderful Maalaea condo for five weeks this winter to escape the brutal New England weather. We’d love to keep this gem our little secret, but something this wonderful needs to be shared. The waterfront condo was truly our home away from home. Spacious and comfortable and SO convenient with its central location. It’s only 15 mins from the main airport; 10 mins from Kihei, half hour from Lahaina; half hour from Wailea/Makena. (The drive to either Hana or Haleakala, of course, is much longer but absolutely worth it!) The beds are very comfortable, the bathrooms were spacious (double sinks in the master bath). The spacious dining and kitchen area opens to the living room/tv room/office. The WiFi signal was strong and never a problem and it was a bonus to have a printer and fax machine at our disposal. The private elevator was another added bonus. Waking up each morning was a joy. We’d bring our coffee onto the lanai and watch the humpback whales. They were there every day without fail: mommas with their babies, and their male escorts slapping their pectoral fins or tails and occasionally dazzling us with a full breach. A great way to start each day! Maalaea can get very windy (at least it did while we were there), but we discovered that when Maalaea was windy, Wailea was not. Go to Big Beach or Little Beach if it’s too windy. Our favorite excursions were the Flyin’ Hawaiian Zipline (very close and absolutely thrilling) and the Paragon cruise to Lanai. Also enjoyed the Red Line Rafting snorkeling trip to Molokini (and if you can find Cliff House north of Ka’anapali on the Ritz Carlton property, the snorkeling there is excellent!) We also enjoyed being so close to the harbor. There are two little general stores, five restaurants (The Waterfront was the best but a little pricey) and lots of shops. We highly recommend this condo. You will not be disappointed! Anne-Marie and Mario give you all the privacy you would enjoy in your own home. Rent this gem!

  We live in Illinois, a state in which extreme temperatures require closed doors and windows for much of the year. Imagine how wonderful it was for us to spend two weeks in January in this beautiful, well-equipped condo, with doors and windows open day and night. Comfortable breezes and the sound of the surf were constant. Floor-to-ceiling glass in the living area provided ever-present views of palm trees, the ocean, nearby islands, volcanic mountains, humpback whales and colorful sunrises and sunsets. At the same time invigorating, uplifting, and peaceful. Glorious! We cooked most of our own meals and ate them on the lanai because few restaurants could match that view. The central location of the condo made sights and shopping on other parts of the island convenient. Having the marina so close was great. Enough activity to be interesting, but never bothersome; and it was an easy walk to take part in the excursions. The folding chairs and coolers in the condo came in handy. We packed our lunches for day trips to beaches, Haleakala, and Hana. We enjoyed many of the activities on Maui, but we also spent entire, relaxing days in the condo. No need to escape the confines of our accommodations to experience the best that Maui has to offer--just open the sliding glass doors and it's all right there! If there's any inaccuracy in the representation of this condo on this website, it's that it's even better than it looks here. We are totally spoiled now. Thanks, Mario and Anne-Marie!

  My husband and I sorted through quite a few properties before deciding on this one - and I don't think we could have found a better location or unit. The condo is spacious, beautifully furnished, with every possible amenity, and immaculate. The views from the very large lanai are gorgeous. We saw whales several times. (We also recommend the Pacific Whale Foundation whale-watching trips that leave from adjacent Maalaea Harbor.) We hadn't been to Maui before and were very pleased with the Maalaea area, which is low-key and uncrowded. Just getting up in the early morning, watching the sun come up from the lanai and breathing that amazing air was restorative. The owners, Anna Maria and Mario, are extremely gracious and communicative. We highly recommend this condo.

  Stayed for 9 days, met with both owners, they are the absolute best. Everything you could imagine you need is provided; There is an elevator that is common use and 140 feet closer to the private parking spot is a private elevator that actually goes right into the condo, where there is a running fountain illuminated. You are greeted with a nice bottle of wine along with snacks/chocolates in a basket. There was a restaurant on the ground floor but it moved two blocks away, which is fabulous too. Our deposit was refunded in cash on day of departure. Mario and Anne-Marie are a professional couple with a lot of people values. This is the dream location on the best island Maui.

  This wonderful condo was spectacular! My husband, I, and another couple decided to celebrate our 50th birthdays in Maui. We had 8 full days to spend there. We feel so awesomely blessed to have found this condominium. Anne-Marie and Dino have thought of everything. The parking spot was only steps away to your own private elevator that takes you right into the condo. The welcoming basket was such a nice touch. Everything you could think of was right there in the condo. From bottled water, beach chairs, beach towels, coolers (which we used everyday to pack lunches), books and brochures about things to do while in Maui, places to eat. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need, just like at home. The beds were super comfy and the lanai was big and spacious, whenever we were at the condo that's where we spent most of our time. Such a beautiful view of the ocean. We rented a jeep and put 700 miles on it, to say the least we explored every corner of Maui. Watching the sunrise at the top of the volcano was breathtaking! We did lots of snorkeling, didn't take any of the trips because we found plenty of places to see lots of fish at Black Rock, the public beach on the north side of Black Rock and at Honolua Bay. Its like a whole different world under the ocean-beautiful! We did Road to Hana, we left at 6am and got back to the condo at 10pm and we went all the way around. It was so well worth it! Drove around West Maui Mountains- what an adventure. Well, that was a few of the things we did while there and we didn't want to leave. There are no words to describe Maui or the condo, you have to go and experience it. Thank you Anne-Marie and Mario. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maui in your condo. We praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for the fabulous opportunity to be able to have our dream vacation. You can see God's wonderful creation at its best in Maui!!!

  This is the very best of accomadations and the price is so very reasonable. The view is worth it alone,their pictures are very accurate and the condo is extremely clean! The location is perfect you are in the middle so 20 minutes each way and you are at another great location. It is all the little things that are not mentioned that push this property over the top,the owners thoughtfullness with welcome gifts, grocery cards, coolers, almost a fully stocked kitchen of spices,oils,plastic containers and even grilling tools. They have quality soaps in the bathrooms and detergent for the washer, and dryer sheets for you to use. Theese ownersgo above and beyond for you comfort. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!!

  I would not hesitate to recommend this condo unit. My husband and I made our first trip to Maui to celebrate our "20th" Wedding Anniversary. Ann Marie warmly greeted us when we arrived, loved meeting her as she was super sweet and Mario was very helpful in getting our wireless internet connected. We were pleasantly surprised by the gift basket, and also the thoughtfulness that went into it for our anniversary. Everything was as pictured when we arrived, we absolutely loved the large lanai and spent much time there in the morning having coffee and in the evening relaxing and listening to the waves. There is a gorgeous view here. The whole place is warm and inviting, couches and beds were very comfortable. Shower's had great water pressure. It was especially nice having a reserved parking spot and a private elevator. Washer & dryer came in handy. A great breeze flows throughout the house. The grounds are well manicured with a pool and plenty of lawn chairs. We enjoyed the beach, it's small but it was nice and private, and sandy. Everything was centrally located from the condo which was very nice. We made many trips to Kihei and Paia for shopping, smoothies and a great breakfast spot at Charley's. You will not be disappointed here and Maui is a beautiful place on earth. Ann Marie & Mario were great people to work with and very helpful. We hope to go back at some point.

  Thank you Anna mari we had the best time ever your place was everything you promised and more. If we ever get to come back we will defenately let everyone know about your condo. Centally located so we were able to enjoy both side of Maui. We stayed in Hawaii for 16 days 6 of those days in Maui. I have to admit the best island. The most enjoyable trip to Hana, I didn't get to snorkel because wether was little ruff went to Pacific O for dinner very nice little pricy also did the lual you recommended it was nice as well. The place was very well kept and clean and the basket was over the top. Thank you so much anyone goign to Maui would do well to stay here. The only down side was the harbor boats get started early around 6:30 they woke us up but that wasnt a bad thing otherwise I would stayed in bed the whole vacation. Also the winds sometimes bring in the dust from the sugar cane fields but nothing can be done about these things just somethign for other guest to be aware of. The facilities were very well kept and all the extras you could ask for. Was very nice to already have a lot of condements and the last guest left some of the grociers they didnt use as we did the same I thought that was very nice. Thank you so much again God Bless

  The condo: There aren't enough positive adjectives to describe this great condo. We immediately felt at home when we arrived after our 15-hour trip; the gift basket was a welcoming touch. The reserved parking space next to the private elevator made unpacking the car of luggage and groceries very easy. There was plenty of room for 4 adults to spread out. It had the most well-stocked kitchen of any rental we'd seen and everything was was in good repair (nice to see the reality matches the pictures). We spent a lot of time on the lanai relaxing, watching the boats in the harbor, and enjoying our surroundings. The condo was also the cleanest rental we'd seen; everything was spotless when we arrived. Even the pillow covers and mattress covers on the beds are laundered between guests, a huge plus in my book! The grounds: Very quiet and relaxing, well-manicured. Plenty of lounge chairs by the water and at the pool. We practically had the pool to ourselves each day (which may be due to it being the off season). The beach is small, but there are several within short walking or driving distance if you must have sand. The area: Ma'alaea is perfect if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts and larger cities, but still want to be within a 20 minute drive of those areas. The harbor area next door contains several restaurants and a small convenience store/market. Unfortunately we didn't get to try the Waterfront Restaurant that was located in the condo building because they were in the process of moving into the harbor shops next door. The park within walking distance at the end of the street has a nice beach, as do other locations within a 5-minute drive. We thoroughly enjoyed the condo and Anne-Marie and Mario were very accommodating and helpful. We definitely recommend staying here when you travel to Maui.
