The condo was more than comfortable it met all of our expectations. As we have stayed at the Maui Vista on our previous 9 trips - this condo definately was above our other experiences. The groud floor was wonderful, the outside furniture was great, inside was very homey. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone that is booking.

Wonderful Stay

Thanx Matthew, we simply loved your ground floor condo, the Lanai was private, spacious and provided a wonderful breakfast and evening libation location. We were a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minutes to restaurants and groceries north and south of the condo. The kitchen was fully equipped with a full range of functioning utensils, pots and pans. Your Hawaiian Island decor was very inviting (where did you get all the wonderful prints and pictures?). We used the beach chairs and umbrella on a regular basis which made the many nearby beaches more enjoyable. Even the Tsunami warning added to our week of adventure.

Dear Matthew, we had an absolutly perfect stay in your condo and a wonderful time on Maui. The condo was comfortable and very clean. The AC in the bedroom was great, so we slept in an pleasant room. We stayed more than fifteen times at the Maui Vista and that was our most beautiful stay in a condo. Thanks Matthew, we had a wonderful stay and would love to stay again one day at your beautiful condo again!

Thank you Matthew and John for sharing a little piece of heaven with us! We were more than happy with our stay in your super cute condo. This was our fourth stay at the Maui Vista and I must say this was our favorite unit so far. The condo was was clean, nicely decorated with a tropical theme and had everything you may need for a comfortable stay. The air conditioner in the bedroom was a bonus but we felt the ceiling fans were all we needed to stay cool at night. This unit is in the best location...next to the pool...right across the street from a gorgeous beach. The BBQ in the back was always clean and ready for use. We felt safe letting the kids run around in front of our lanai as the grounds are closed in and security did a fantastic job keeping us safe. Speaking of grounds...they are immaculate. Beautiful and fragrant trees everywhere! I miss sitting on the lanai at night while enjoying a glass of wine as the perfume from the plumeria trees surround us. We will most definitely stay at this condo when we return to Maui. Thank you again for everything!!

This was our first visit to Maui and it could not have been more perfect. Every amenitie available, didn't have to go out and buy anything which was much appreciated. The location was great and loved getting up and walking across the street to the beach each morning. You can walk to so many eating and shopping places, just perfect. Greatly appreciate the thoughtfulness of the owners to provide everything in the kitchen needed and all beach stuff. We will be back and this is the only place I would want to stay. Again thank you.

What a wonderful condo in a perfect location!! Don't look any further...book this condo. Owner was exceptional to deal with and condo was exactly as described. I would recommend this condo to everyone. Have stayed before at the Maui Vista but this condo takes the prize. We really enjoyed Cafe Ole and Kinaole Food Truck for lunch, both fresh and reasonable. We also fell in love with Kihei Cafe for breakfast. Hmm still thinking of Mac-nut banana french toast. This condo is so close to everything, restaurants, pool and beach access just across the road. When I first booked it I thought noise might be a factor but not at all. I even Skyped my husband out on the lanai in the middle of the day. Perfect in everyway. Can't wait to go back and I will be booking this property. I travelled with my mom and she said she would be comfortable just staying there by herself. Thumbs up!! Thanks Matthew for sharing your home away from home.

We spent 10 glorious days in this condo. It was tastefully decorated, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Excellent location, minutes from the beach, pool, and B.B.Q. pit. We had stayed at this complex last year but in a different condo and we prefer this location to last years. The owners made our stay easy to book and everything was handled in a professional manner. We would recommend to anyone visiting Maui that they try Snorkling, lots of beautiful fish and turtles to see. Whale watching, Drive the Road to Hanna and make a trip to Lahana. We enjoyed several resturants some that we would recommend are Bubba Gumps, Dragon Dragon, Amigos and Mexican Freds (if you like Mexican food), and Pizza Madness. Make a point to buy the book Maui Revealed, it really helped us on our visit to Maui. Thankyou!!!

When you book this condo you can TRUST it is everything it says it is. We stayed for nine weeks and loved every minute of it. This unit was clean, well stocked and had everything we wanted and was so close to the beach that we would go over many times in a day. The complex is great - you can't beat it if you are a tennis junkie - security is tight and Maui Vista is close to everything. We walked to all the markets, stores and restaurants. As well, the owners were always available if anything went wrong - but nothing ever did. Mahoalo Mathew, Mahalo, Mahalo.

Mathew thanks for letting us share your home away from home. There was not a thing I went to use that was not provided. (hair dryer was awesome). Every thing I wanted to do I just had to walk out the door and it was close by. Getting to the beach was just like you said, and what a awesome beach. I felt very safe and being alone for some of my time didn't bother me. I could walk to so many places like shopping, restaurants-bars, or just going for a walk was fun. Your condo was clean and the bed was soooooooooo comfortable. I can't say enough about the grounds keepers as the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. Thank you again and I do hope to return to Maui and would love to be your guest again.

We had a wonderful time at your condo, everything was perfect!!! We loved the hawaiian decor and the homey feel of the unit. It is in the perfect spot, being on the ground level and right across the street from the beach. The kitchen was very well equiped, we even hosted a dinner with my in-laws and had everything we needed, even a blender to make margaritas! Thanks Matthew, we had a wonderful time and would love to stay again one day at Maui Vista in your beautiful condo!

April 12 2010 We just got back last night after three wonderful weeks in your condo. You have been a pleasure to deal with Matthew and your condo was just perfect. Everything in the unit was clean and well organized. All the amenities from the well stocked kitchen to the beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. really made us feel at home. There really wasn't anything lacking. Your new shower renovation is beautiful. We would not hesitate to return to your unit and are already saving to come back to Maui. Our hope is that when we are ready to return your condo will be available.. It is definitely the nicest and most well equipped condo we have stayed at over the years coming to Maui Vista. Charley Young Beach is beautiful and close. We enjoyed snorkelling at the many beaches in Makena area and even had some turtles join us! Went to the Old Lahaina Luau which was the best luau we have been to on Maui. As well we saw many whales in their various positions and this was just from the beach. It was really something to see the whales jumping out of the water. Mahalo Matthew

Matthew We just got back on the 20th and had a great time The weather was great. We stayed a week at your place which was just wonderful. It was everything that you said it would be. It was very clean and well kept. It was great to have such a nice beach just a half a block away. We really enjoyed it and appreciated how nice your place was. We were a week on the big island also and your place really spoiled us because the place we got in Kona was not as well kept as yours. Thanks again for letting us use your place we had a great time and hopefully will be able to make it back there again.

This was our first Christmas away, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We went to the old Congregational Church in Makena for a lovely Christmas Eve candlelight service complete with hula, songs in Hawaiian and English, and a great message, not to mention being outdoors with the waves crashing as a backdrop. We left one string of lights in the bedroom closet in case someone else is there during the Christmas season. We also purchased and left two foam noodles that we used snorkeling. We appreciated the use of the beach chairs, boogie boards, umbrella, and floating pool chairs. Thank you for supplying us with what we needed in the condo. It was a great home for us. We hope to return as soon as we can accumulate some more miles. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful condo. with us!

We had such an amazing time on Maui thanks in large part to this condo. It was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable in one of the best locations. It had everything we needed for the beach, swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, floating :), preparing meals and a blender for pina coladas. The most beautiful beach is right across the street, grocery stores, restaurants and bars just down the street convenient for walking. I would/will recommend this condo to my friends/family. Thank you Matthew!

Hi. So, so sorry this is long overdue. We spent a week in your wonderful condo for my 50th birthday and it was perfect. Everything we needed (and more!) was there. We didn't want to leave. Thank you for being so wonderful to work with, and for your beautiful home. It was truly a magical trip, and your place was a big part of it. I can't wait till we can plan to come again...maybe next year in March to watch the whales play in our "front yard"? Thanks again, Matthew!

Matt, Thank you so much for setting us up in your home at the last minute. Everything here was clean & comfortable. It made our vacation that much better. We had lots of fun at the beach across the street. It was very convenient with the baby. He loved it! We also found that all the pots, pans, dishes, utensils, etc, etc made life so much easier with the little guy. We had a "no worries" vacation!

Aloha Matt and John ... Every thanks for letting us stay in your precious condo on the sunny shores of South Maui. Yours is definitely the best value for the price. We were within walking distance of markets, restaurants, shopping, and best of all -- the most beautiful beaches imaginable, right out our back door. We walked on the sand and watched the glorious sunsets in the evening, swam each day, and soaked up the sun. The condo was lovely, and perfectly equipped. We loved Cafe O Lei and Sansei restaurants, LuLu's, Ambrosia's, Hawaiian Moons, and Maui Tacos -- all within walking distance! Thanks for a perfect vacation. ... the Barrie family

we searched all the units at Maui Vista and decided on this one because it had recently been remodeled....we had no idea that it would be as nice as it was. I have stayed in several locations in Kihei over the years, and we all agreed, this one was the best all around. Tasteful, Hawaii chic, with great colors and all the amenities that you need for a fabulous holiday. We noticed that it stayed MUCH cooler than the unit that my borther rented for the same time period, we never needed the A/C, it was so comfortable. The beds and pillows were comfy, and everything was perfect. We also LOVED the easy access out the sliding glass door, onto the lawn and just steps away from the beach. It was all so easy! No steps to climb, and easy walking access to town. With the ground floor location, we felt like we had one more room out on the lanai, and we all just loved hanging out here at night with the rest of our family. The owners were wonderful to work with, we will be back again! Aloha.

This condo was perfect. It was beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean. It was furnished with everything we needed. We loved the convenience of the lower level. It was close to the grill, pool, parking lot and walkway to the beach. The owners were great to work with. We are looking forward to returning and spending even more time. We give it an A+.
