Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 2)
Keywords: Condominium
** SEE SPECIAL RATE RULES AND RESTRICTION BELOW**
My beautiful condominium is located in South Maui, on the Wailea/Kihei border. The area is populated with beautiful luxury resorts, shopping, restaurants, golf and beaches. My condominium is directly across from the popular Kamaole III Beach and State Park. swimming, snorkeling, surfing and wave riding are excellent here; this park is also THE place to watch sunset - a festive atmosphere enjoyed by locals and guest to Maui alike: kites, frisbees, footballs, dogs, Mai Tai's with the spectacular, crystal blue Pacific as a backdrop!
My unit is located in a 23 acre complex which is low-rise and low-density with extensive lawns and tropical landscaping in its dramatic hillside setting. My smoke-free unit is located in the most desirable oceanview "A" building of the Maui Kamaole Condominium complex. There are no buildings or obstructions in front of my condominium, assuring you of stunning and UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN VIEWS, sunsets, stargazing and whale watching from the privacy of your own lanai.
The unit is a very spacious 900 square feet on the ground floor (no steps so handicap and wheelchair accessible). It is a very sunny, modern, comfortable and very well equipped unit. Being a New York City interior designer, I've selected the furniture, art and finishes to reflect an island serenity and theme without resorting to the tacky cliche` of tropical pastels prints found in so many hawaii rentals. This condominium was completely remodeled in 2008 - stone floors throughout (extending to the ocean view and Haleakala view lanais as well); a new kitchen with new appliances, maple cabinetry, granite counters, cookware and dishes; two sumptuous custom baths with marble showers (both large enough for two - hint!hint!), marble basins, imported light fixtures, bamboo hardware and uber-luxurious Ralph Lauren bath linens.
The bedroom is large with a new king-size bed outfitted with 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, a sumptuous 100% down comforter outfitted in a high thread count duvet, an en suite master bathroom with dual sink vanity & walk-in shower, two large closets, Indonesian teak and bamboo furniture and an enclosed lanai. The living room / dining area has an open, airy feeling decorated with earth-toned upholstery, teak and koa wood accents, an antique Chinese wedding cabinet houses the entertainment system (stereo with CD & AM/FM, Bose iPod sound doc, DVD and 32-inch, flat-screen color TV), bamboo wall coverings and original artwork (from Hawaiian artists) all blend harmoniously with the unimpeded ocean view from the 22 foot-plus expanse of glass composed of new, insulated and soundproof, double sliding doors.
This is not a standard rental condominium. It is a chic and comfortable island home. In fact, I use this as my Maui residence three to four months annually. I limit my rentals to a MAX of two adults and children over 12 who will care for my property, and enjoy it as much as I do. It is the perfect place for the extended, comfortable, romantic stay on Maui. I welcome honeymooning or anniversary couples (champagne gift baskets and in room couples massages can be arranged in advance for an additional charge, AND, my dearest friend on Maui is an ordained minister that can officiate at a vow renewal or committment cermony). Additionally, I enthusiastically welcome seniors, singles and gay travellers.
Amenities at the condominium complex include multiple tennis courts, two swimming pools (one with a waterfall), two hot tubs, poolside gazebos with eating areas and gas barbecues for guest use. Excellent shopping at the Shops at Wailea - numerous art galleries and clothing stores as well as Tiffany's, Gucci, Versace, Louis Vuitton & the Best managed COACH store in the world! (mention my name), movie theatres, restaurants (Spago at The Four Seasons, Sarrento's on the Beach, Joe's Bar and Grill, Sansei Sushi, Maui Taco, Cafe O'Lei, Fred's, etc.), championship golf (five courses are located within a two mile radius) and the best beaches on all of Maui are only minutes away ( Keawakapu, Kamaole I, II & III, Elua - these five are all walking distance - Wialea, Polo and Makenna Beaches all have public parking and are less than 5-10 minute drive away). The historic whaling town of Lahaina & world famous Ka'anapalii Beach are 24 miles (45 minutes)away; horseback riding at Makenna stables is 9 miles away (20 minutes); the Maui Ocean Center & Aquarium at Ma'alea Harbor is 10 miles away (20 minutes). Additionally, necessities such as grocery stores (Safeway, Foodland and the Star Market), pharmacies, dry cleaners, gyms, hair/nail salons, the post office, gift shopping, etc. are all a stone's throw from my unit.
Make your Maui vacation the BEST it can be by choosing the BEST condo on Maui!!! ALSO: I am in touch with the owners of the units next door to mine (both 1 BR/2 bath ocean view units)and often they have similar availability, so please ask if you need more room to accomodate your group!!
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES IN MY UNIT INCLUDE SNORKLE MASK AND FINS IN ASSORTED SIZES, TOMMY BAHAMA BEACH CHAIRS AND RALPH LAUREN BEACH TOWELS, BEACH UMBRELLAS, BEACH BAGS, PICINIC BASKET, THERMOS & OUTDOOR BLANKETS (TO MAKE YOUR HALEAKALA @ SUNRISE TRIP BETTER - BRRRR!), COOLERS, WOODEN HANGERS IN ALL CLOSETS, BOSE iPOD DOC (SO YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN TUNES!)

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
I am a Interior Designer/Real Estate Broker/Real Estate Investor in NYC for the past 20 years! I LOVE my Maui home and come AT LEAST 10 weeks annually (no easy feat considering it takes 1/2 a day to get there from here)!! I have tried to make my condo special and to stand out by paying attention to the details: high thread count sheets, fluffy pillows and pillow top mattress pads for a dreamy nights sleep; coolers, picinic baskets, beach equipment (chairs, umbrellas, beach bags, toys, fins, masks, etc); extra blankets & thermos for Haleakala (you'll be thanking me); etc. Also, you can ask my housekeeper, I am the biggest PAIN to work for because my standards for cleanliness are EXTREMELY high - and I do not accept anything less. Come stay, and enjoy!!
Why the Owner Chose Other Wailea Properties
I purchased this vacation home in Maui because I wanted to own a bit of Heaven on Earth!

My wife and I had a great stay at the “little grass shack.” It’s a very comfortable and spacious condo, with a fantastic lanai and ocean view. The condo is one of the closest to the beach, and the complex is in a great location… walking distance to some great beaches, bars, and nightlife; but far enough out of the busy areas to be quiet and peaceful. I really appreciated some of the extra details about this condo; like beach toys for use by the residents: fins, masks, snorkels, and boogie boards… also a water filter container in the fridge and free high speed wireless internet (may have come from a neighbor, not sure). I enjoyed morning runs along the beaches either north or south, made great use of the onsite tennis courts and pools, made some turtle friends by the rocks outside the Five Palms (Rays, amazing fish, and coral to be found as well), and of course really liked the happy hour Mai Tais at the Five Palms (five minute walk from the condo).
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.

This place really exceeded our expectation. It is very well decorated, clean and has tons of useful stuff in the house (picnic basket, cooler, etc). The property is very quite. It has a great view from the patio. Beaches, shops, grocery stores are all within a 5min drive. If you are looking to stay in southern Maui within paying paying the extreme prices of the resorts, then this is the place to stay. We will definitely try to stay here again.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Thank you for having us!!...We'll be back!

My boyfriend and I stayed in this condo at the beginning of February. It was fantastic. Todd does an amazing job of making sure you have everything you need for a great vacation. The condo is perfectly located and the view from the lanai was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Thanks for everything!

Dear Todd, Your condo was exactly what you promised, it is beautiful. I love the tile floor that goes all the way out to the lanai it made the lanai an extension of the living room we were out there frequently especially to watch the sun set. The big comfortable bed and linens made your place such a relaxing vacation. Thank you for the use of your condo.
Owner response:I LOVED these guests!!! Not only did they leave this lovely comment, but they contacted me 1/2 way through their stay to ask what they could do to help in checking out-ie: start the laundry, take out the trash, etc.!! I hope they visit my other VRBO properties!!!

"Hey Todd, We just got back yesterday and I just wanted to tell you how perfect it was. The condo was as nice as any hotel room I've stayed in. Just having those trade winds come every day was the real blessing. When we opened the Lanai doors for the first time it was heaven. Your condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. Every day the weather was perfect, so we really had no complaints at all. Todd, it was everything you said, I'd recommend it highly, and we'd love to come back. Thanks again Todd.
