Imagine enjoying your morning coffee as whales play in the ocean that lies just yards away. Or watching the sunset over the island of Lanai as you sip your choice of beverage. These pleasures can be experienced from either of the two lanai’s of "Le Penthouse" at Kauhale Makai (Village by the Sea). This luxurious TWO BEDROOM, TWO BATH, sixth floor OCEANFRONT condo has gorgeous, uninterrupted panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the west Maui Mountains and neighboring islands. The beachfront of Kauhale Makai is excellent for long morning walks. Don't be fooled by some "oceanfront" claims. Ours is the straight-on OCEANFRONT condo with the best views on Maui!

Our condo is located on the sixth floor of the Anthurium building at Kauhale Makai. It is the largest unit in the complex. It was COMPLETELY REMODELED in September of 2007. There are two bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The master bedroom has a king-sized bed and the second bedroom has two twin beds. The kitchen has all new appliances and is, of course, fully equipped. There is a dining area, which seats four. There are lanais off the living room and the master bedroom. Our condo, which has TWO-ZONED CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING, contains a TV, DVD player, CD player and has a high-speed Internet connection - (you bring the computer). There are washers and dryers on every floor.

Kauhale Makai is located on the leeward side of Maui, in the town of Kihei. The mountains protect this area from the storms and rains of the northern and eastern parts of the island. The complex consists of two six-story buildings, each with two elevators. It features a pool, hot tub, kiddie pool, putting green, shuffleboard, gas barbeques and volleyball court. Public tennis courts are just a short walk away. Many of Maui’s world famous beaches and renowned golf courses are located just minutes away. Our central location is convenient to many of Maui’s natural attractions, not to mention restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and entertainment. Be sure to check out The Wailea Shops from 6:30 to 9:30 every Wednesday evening for free entertainment and The Maui Arts and Cultural Center’s website. Sorry - Our complex does not allow pets, and our’s is a NON-SMOKING condo. Our street address is 938 S. Kihei Rd, Kihei, HI.

Why stay in just any condo when you have this opportunity to stay in "LE PENTHOUSE"?!

  • June 29, 2009 Dear Carl, My husband, daughter, and I really enjoyed your beautiful condo on Maui. It was very neat and clean when we arrived. We were extremely pleased. Everything was right at our fingertips, and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed the pool and using the grills also. We would definitely recommend it to others. We enjoyed eating at Cafe O'Lei. The food was very good. We also found a small Mexican (fast food) restaurant called Taqueria Cruz. It was in the Dolphin Plaza. There were tables outside to sit at. My husband and daughter enjoyed snorkeling and kayaking in the Makena-Wailea area. My daughter rode a bike daily and para sailed on Maui. She also went canoeing in Kihei. There really are many activities to keep you busy on Maui! Thanks for the prompt refund of our security deposit. Sincerely, The Breiers Oak Lawn, IL

  • Thank you so much Carl for sharing your beautiful condo with us. It is truly spacious and beautifully decorated with everything we could possibly need and more. The two pools were spotlessly clean and all the grounds were well-maintained with gorgeous gardens and tropical flowers. We enjoyed the communal bar-b-ques and everyone was so friendly and accomodating. Saving the best for last, that view from the lanai, what can I say...a feast for the senses, palm trees swaying, birds singing, the ever-changing sea and those awesome sunsets....my husband threatened to handcuff himself to the railing and never leave. By far your condo in particular and Village by the Sea exceeded all our expectations. Thank you again. Marjorie and Terrence

  • April 16, 2009 Dear Carl, Thanks so much for letting us stay at your condo in Maui. This was our 10th visit to Maui and by far your condo was the best we have stayed at to-date and the best value. It is extremely spacious and the kitchen was very nicely appointed and the new appliances were a definite bonus. The views from the two bedrooms and the lanai were incredible and I miss waking up every morning and opening my eyes to see the ocean and the palm trees – from my pillow – I didn’t even have to lift my head! I also found the condo location much quieter than previous condos we have stayed at. We also enjoyed the use of the bbqs which are conveniently located next to the pool so the kids could swim while we grilled. In our view the best beaches are in Kihei-Wailea and so the condo is the perfect location to hit the waves. I would recommend your condo any time. Also, thanks for the quick turnaround on the security deposit – that’s excellent service. We’ll be in touch soon to make our booking for 2010! The Brandts Cowichan Bay, BC

  • 1. We thourougly enjoyed our stay in your condominium. The interior felt "new", bright and spacious. The kitchen was compete and very functional, and the mirrored walls made the place feel twice as big. Internet access was easy to set up. The balcony was great for viewing the ocean and the sunsets. And the location at the North end of Kihei was ideal providing short driving times to everything in Kihei and McKenna as well as a short drive (less than 40 minutes) to Lahaina and Kaanapali etc.) And a short drive to Kahaliu. The pool area was very nice. And the barbeques were a bonus, they were very clean, seemed almost brand new. In summary it is a great condo. We enjoyed it very much. 2. The condo was very clean when we arrived 3. We had everything we needed. Lots of towels and sheets etc. and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. 4. We would definitley stay in your condo again if we return to Maui (which we might in 2 years or so) and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. 5. The obvious activities to recommend are driving the road to Hana and driving up to the summit of Haleakala. We enjoyed both. We ate suppers out about half of the time; enjoyed the Pupu Lounge, Moose McGillycuddey's, Fred's mexican, Outback Steak house, Bubba Gumps (in Lahaina) for lunch, Cheeseburger in paradise (in Lahaina) for lunch. All were good. The restaurant that we would recommend is the Greek Bistro in behind Moose McGillycuddy's in Kihei. Their menu is somewhat limited (and Greek) but the calamari starter is the best we have ever had and the prices are reasonable. If you are a snorleller (or not) you MUST take a snorkel trip to Molokine. The water is crystal clear. Snorkel Bob's has a reasonabely priced trip. Over-all we had a great time. Maiu is a great island to vist. This was our second visit to Maui and we thouroughly enjoyed it both times. We spent most of or mornings and early afternoons on various beaches: McKenna, Kaanapali, Wailea, McKenna Cove/Secret Cove, drove the road to Hana, drove up to the haleakala Summit, took a snorkel trip to Molokini/turtle town, checked out the IO needle, wandered through Lahaina and Kaanapali, snorkelled at Wailea, Ahihi and Kaanapali/Black rock (saw 2 turtles), checked out most of the beaches on the island, did the usual tourist shopping at the local shops and swap meets etc and vegged out at the condo. It was a great vacation and "Le Penthouse" made it even better. We will be back and "Le Penthouse will be our first choice,

  • Aloha Carl. Thanks for the prompt refund of our deposit. It almost beat us back to the mainland!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at, "Le Penthouse". It met our expectations and much more. It truely is the best location in the entire complex. What a view of the ocean and mountains from not only the lanais off the living room and master bedroom, but from the windows of the second bedroom as well! The well stocked kitchen we used everyday. We did some dining out; however, we did dine-in to enjoy the sunset from the living room lanai. Although we didn't need to contact him, what a nice note from Norm letting us know if we needed anything to just give him a call anytime. The pool was wonderful. We spent parts of three days just lounging by the pool and playng in the water with our grand-daughter. We took advantage of stopping at COSTCO on the way in as it is convenient to the airport. Both Safeway and Star Markets are located just a short distance from the complex. We shopped at each as well. We enjoyed dining at Stella Blues just down Kehei Rd from the complex. For Greatful Dead groupies, it's walls are full of memorabilia. The food and service were great. If you just want good Hawaiian food, check out Da Kitchen Express a couple of miles south on Kehei Rd from the complex. We found it full of local patrons; a line out the door; and, did I mention the food. You can call ahead and place an order (i.e., we did) to save some time. Even if you have to wait, it is well worth it in our opinion. It is not for dining-in; but if it is Hawaiian food you want then give it a try. Again, thanks for letting us stay at, "Le Penthouse" What a wonderful place. Unfortunately we don't have any immediate plans to return to the Islands soon (sigh). However, if/when we do return, we hope, ""Le Penthouse" will be available; and, we will certainly recommend it to our friends. Mahalo Roger/Barb Idaho

  • We enjoyed the lovely pool and the jacuzzi, and the very convenient location to so many great Maui activities - snorkeling, walking on the beach and the Maui Ocean Center. BUT - Sitting on the balcony - watching the sunset as the breezes ruffled the palm trees - priceless. Very comfortable and well appointed space - with a well stocked kitchen. We loved out time at the condo and can't wait to go back.

  • Le Penthouse has beautiful views from each bedroom and living area. The condo is wonderfully stocked: champagne glasses to knives. Waking up to the view each day was what made this vacation one of our best! Maui is beautiful and this condo is conveniently located and very comfortable. We did not want to leave and are looking forward to returning!

  • Le Penthouse was perfect for my first visit to Hawaii and Maui. The condo was quiet, clean, comfortable, not to mention the incredible views from our lanais - amazing. The sunsets and early mornings were the most exquisite. We were close to everything and having a fully stocked kitchen came in handy as to avoid eating out every meal. Thank you again so much Carl and Paula, Danny and I will be back soon!!!

  • I would like to thank you so much for letting us stay at your house. We had a great time and had great vacation. We were very happy about your unit because we enjoyed beautiful sunset everyday,we had everything we need,room was comfortable. My father has bad knees so he cannot walk far.He stayed in the room most of the time but he stayed in the Lanai and watched whales splashing and enjoyed spectacular sunsets every evening. He really liked your new bath tub because it is big. I would recommend your unit to my friends and family who plan to visit on Maui. Thank you Carl
