Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Maalaea
We chose Maalaea because it is central to the entire South side of the island with Lahaina only 20 minutes away and Kihei and Wailea only 10 minutes away. It is also only about 15 minutes from the airport. We also love to watch the whales when they come to have their young in the winter and Maalaea is the perfect location to view the whales. The beach in front of our unit wraps around toward Kihei where the Turtles go to lay their eggs.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
The Lanai is only 40 feet from the start of a 5 mile long beach that goes all the way to Kihei. Hono Kai is one of the few complexes in Maalaea that is directly on the beach. Every room in the Condo has a view of the Beach and the Ocean. The Condo has been completely remodeled and boasts all new appliances etc... There is snorkeling directly in front of the complex with a pool also overlooking the beach. Whales are known to frequent the Maalaea Harbor area during the winter months and have their calves. The beach also leads to the area the Turtles go to lay their eggs and nest so great viewing of the Turtles. Most water activities to Molokini, snorkeling, diving, fishing etc...leave from the Maalaea Marina which is walking distance. Not to mention the close access to shopping and resturants in the Marina Village. Maalaea also is the home to one of the largest Aquariums in Hawaii. The Condo grounds are clean and well kept and offer a BBQ area as well as Pool and lounging areas.
Owner's Map of Maalaea
My husband John and I just love the sun and long walks on beach so when we started thinking about investing in real estate and where we wanted to retire we couldn't find a better place than Maui. We were married in Maui in 1996 on Big Beach and have returned every year since to visit the island and the beach we were married on. Our whole family loves to snorkle, dive, fish and any other water sport we can find. We hope to someday retire in Maui in our condo on the beach.

Fabulous property right on the beach
Guest: Cora

I recently vacationed at this property with my boyfriend, his mom, and his sister. The condo was very clean stocked with plenty of amenities (coffee filters! beach toys! extra sheets & towels!) and we really appreciated the updated modern kitchen and bathrooms. The condo really couldn't be any closer to the beach (amazing!) and the view from the lanai was to die for. While the loft style sleeping areas and slotted doors on the bedroom/bathrooms didn't allow for very much privacy, it wasn't an issue for us because we spent most of the time outdoors enjoying the beautiful Maui sunshine. During a morning stroll on our first day in Maui, my boyfriend proposed to me right on the Maalea beach outside the condo. It couldn't have been more romantic and it's an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thanks John & Laury! :)

Extraordinary Dream Vacation

We have been coming to Maui for 25 years and could not have asked for a better vacation or a better location than this wonderful oceanfront condo in Maalaea. Easy access to the whole island, best whale watching on the island and beautiful, upgraded decor and furnishings. Our favorite part was access to the adjoining beach where we ran and swam every day. The front office was very helpful, the cocktail parties at sunset by the pool were great fun and we had the best vacation ever on Maui. The condo had everything, from movies to hi-def large screen TV with surround sound, books, lanai dining, walk in tiled showers, barbeques, and shopping, dining and groceries within walking distance. I highly recommend this stunning unit. Our thanks to the very gracious and helpful owners for making this vacation so memorable. I will definitely come back.

GREAT Location - Lovely Accomodations

Review Submitted: 02/14/11
This a great place to stay - above average -- centrally located for making day trips - or just walk downstairs to the beach. If you want beach front - it doesn't get much closer than this - you definately get the sounds of waves all night. The owners very thougtfully have many things at the condo - beach toys/chairs/etc - along with suggestions and directions to things in the area. Really helps the visitor!! The upgrades / remodel is very tastefully done. End unit location with no one above you - but if there are lots of people at the BBQ, the noise might be a little distracting, however there seems to be a "curfew" and you won't be bothered by late night parties. .... The only thing lacking was internet service - very frustrating to not be able to connect - would think a unit at this level/pricing would have wireless provided. Inconvenient to have to go to the small village to pick up a signal. ... If there was a rating between good and excellent, I would have selected it. Great family unit - or perfect floor plan is great for sharing adults.

This condo was very nice and spacious for our family of five! We loved our stay there. It was just as beautiful as the pictures and descriptions. It was very clean and we loved hearing the sound of the ocean at night. There were so many things to do, and wonderful places to eat. Beach Bums Bar-BBQ-Grill & whale watching were within walking distance. The beach was nice too with no crowds. Our kids loved it as well. It was nice coming there after some very busy days to relax and listen to the waves or catch the evening news in such a nice living area. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful condo with our family!

We truly had a delgihtful time. The desription of the condo was perfect. Not to often do the pictures accuraltey reflect the appearance, other than it was a tad smaller these really did. It was like home away from home. It was a very relaxing place to end a day of touring the island. Then we spent an entire day of laying on lounge chairs by the pool and playing in the ocean. The pictures I took from our room looked just like a postcard, Beautiful!! I would recommend this property to my best of friends. It made for a perfect vacation in paradise. Thank you John and Laury.

This condo was amazing! We loved our stay there. It was even better than what we were expecting, even with the beautiful pictures and descriptions. It was very spacious and clean. Everyone there was very helpful and friendly. We really liked the fact that we were only 5 to 15 minutes away from every tourist town near by, AND only 10 minutes away from the airport! There were so many things to do, and wonderful places to eat. Beach Bums Bar-BBQ-Grill & Mama's Fish House were awesome. UFO parasailing was a great experience. The Trilogy Molikini snorkeling excursion was amazing. And we would highly recommend the Old Lahaina Luau. At the end of the day don't forget to relax on the Sandy beach just a few feet away. We definitely would come back again, and recommend this condo to all. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful condo with our family!

The condo is beautifully decorated and maintained to a very high standard. The rooms are comfortable and inviting, and worked well for our family of 2 adults and 2 children (1 a toddler). We appreciated being able to use the beach gear available in the condo. The location is first-rate. The sounds of waves crashing on shore put us to sleep each night. The winds kept the condo cool and comfortable. The stars overhead were magnificent. Thank you very much for a warm welcome and a wonderful place to stay. We will recommend it to our friends.

Exceeded Expectations

To sum up in one sentence, "We never wanted to leave." Like Hawaii, the pictures are NOT indicative of what you get because they just can't do the place justice... I wasn't expecting much after my research on Hawaiian condos. They seemed to go from old and worn out to better than average, with a few diamonds in the rough. This was one of those diamonds. It has a very fresh look, and the loft layout gives more than enough space for four adults (still another double bed to go!) It is VERY well-equipped with little extras we weren't expecting, like ocean toys, coolers and such. The complex is cozy, but still relatively spacious and has a very friendly staff. But we rarely saw another soul unless we went looking for them! The Barbeques were excellent, although we only used them twice, as were the kitchen appliances. Resist the pull of the restaurants and your vacation could be rather thrifty. Some books and movies were left, but we only used the TV once. I 'accidentally' found open WiFi for my laptop, but YMMV. There is a computer with a fax/printer provided as well. The pool seemed a bit small and overly chlorinated, but who cares when this gorgeous beach is only YARDS away! We swam and snorkelled right off of it, with some local fish to accompany us. I was told octopus lived on the small shoal there as well. The sand stretches for miles if you're inclined to walk. The sound of the waves sang us to sleep every night and woke us up every morning, and the breezes and ceiling fans keep the temperature perfect enough that the A/C MIGHT be needed in the summer, but I'd doubt it. Prices are a little higher on Maui, but you're in Hawaii! Don't sweat it. Lahaina and Kihei are 20 minutes drive East or West, with restaurants and activities. Kahului / Wailuku are not much further North, so you're pretty centrally located. The Maui Aquarium and a mini-golf is up the street. I'd highly recommend: A) BEACHES! Especially in the morning before the wind hits. B) Snorkelling / Diving. Especially Molokini. We went with Maui Dive Shop. C) The Hana Highway to Oheo Gulch. Stop OFTEN. Wear your swimsuit. D) Sunrise at the summit of Haleakala. I wasn't as moved by this, but still worth it. E) Get out of the car and WALK a little. The World gets left behind... F) Day or two trip to Lanai. Rent a jeep. Off-road a little. Hike to a beach. You'll probably be alone. John and Laury were VERY nice to deal with. Unless you're looking for a resort to cater to you, you can't go wrong!

The condo is in a great central location. If you have a car it's just a short drive to the rest of the island. If you're looking for a place with a fantastic view on the ocean this is the place for you. It's clean and tastefully decorated. Thank you John and Laury for sharing your condo with us!
