RENT DIRECT FROM THE OWNERS AND SAVE!!! There's nothing more relaxing than sitting on the lanai watching the palm trees sway in the afternoon breeze while enjoying the fabulous ocean view; the swells breaking over the reef where green sea turtles play. October through April you can see the whales as they breach and teach their young, that’s right, whale watching is possible from the lanai!
Located on the second floor, the Kauhale Makai (Village by the Sea) Resort includes a Sparkling Tile Pool, Hot Tub, and Kiddies Pool, these pools also have beautiful murals of whales and turtles. Putting green, shuffleboard, and volleyball court, as well as barbecue facilities are also on the grounds. Our guests are welcome to use the two public tennis courts located south of Kauhale Makai. Laundry facilities are on nearly every floor of the resort. In addition, a concierge next to the front quest for booking events and attractions.
This condo was recently renovated with granite kitchen counters, new appliances, new flooring and bathroom lavatory and everything one would need for a "home away from home." We lament sleeping on poor beds while on vacation, with visions of our bed back home. This is why we have a King-size "Pillow Top bed manufactured by Custom Comfort Mattress Company in the bedroom. We are sure you will appreciate a good sleep while on vacation. In addition, should you tire of the ocean views, there are two TV’s with DVD, as well as full stereo system for your entertainment as well as a computer with high-speed wireless internet for our guests to surf the web or access their e-mail including a WiFi router allowing you to connect your own laptop. The entire condo has been furnished and decorated with island furniture and art, and there is, CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING! From the moment you walk through the door you will know you are in Paradise. Sorry, but no pets are allowed (resort rules). This is a NON-SMOKING unit.

Ocean Front/View Newly Remodeled Condo
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Kauhale Makai - Village by the Sea
Maui is our favorite Hawaiian island, Molokai is probably the most serene, but too small to accommodate vacation renters.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
While on the mainland, we long for our morning ritual of a cup of coffee on the lanai; watching whales and the parade of boats making their way to Molokini for snorkeling trips. Every evening the sky is a tapestry of color as the sun sets and paints the clouds with the most vibrant colors and shapes as a backdrop to the palm trees keeping in rhythm with the island breeze.
Owner's Map of Kauhale Makai - Village by the Sea
We have been coming to Hawaii several times each year during the past decade for business and thought; maybe we should invest in our retirement plan now. That was 2002 and we never looked back since. Maui continues to be the one place we can let our shoulders drop and let the tension of work and daily stresses melt away. Our children ask to come to Maui every chance they get. All seasons and through all weather conditions, we have found our sanctuary from the busy, stresses of everyday life. We hope you find our little piece of paradise as enjoyable as we do.

Mike and Alicia! Thanks for the lovely condo. We had a very comfortable stay. When we arrived everything was in place. The location is really great, and we enjoyed spending time at the accessible beach behind the complex. The kitchen was very well equipped, though we did not use much as there were plenty of affordable resturants in the area with a veriety of choices to choose from. Thanks again. Priya and Gaurav.

Sadly, I cannot echo the happy experiences others have enjoyed in this particular condo. My husband and I booked it for a week starting Friday, July 1, 2011. Upon arrival, we found the bathtub full of sheded termite wings and termites on the bathroom floor. The owners' maid service came and cleaned it all up. However, on the morning of Fourth of July, we awoke to find the same conditions were again present in the bathroom. We felt very uncomfortable in this situation. Although it cost us an airline penalty to change our tickets, we checked out and got on the first plane home that had seats available which was July 5. We emailed the problems to the owner as well as facts that the front door was very difficult to open and the sliding glass door to deck from bedroom would not open at all. In his response email, he stated that the condition I described is "consistent with annual termite swarm season and their entry/exit point from the vent above the tub. This is Hawaii and with a semi-annual bug treatment contract termites still survive in the soil and emerge with wings to fly into anywhere they can find a new home." In his email, the owner seemed surprised that we changed flights rather than moving elsewhere on Maui. It was our opinion that getting a flight home would be quicker and easier than trying to locate an affordable hotel with vacancies on this very popular island on Fourth of July!!
Owner response: Unfortunately, we had termite damage in the door frame of the bathroom, Hawaii is an agracultural environment and has termites. We are in a concrete building and are safe from most termite damage. The termite season is in the early spring. We have had the door frame replaced and repainted and had our termite annual inspection and treatment to guard against this kind of problem. The front door does not stick, never has and never will. This is a steel door and immune to humidity problems that can cause sticking. We have strong trade winds and, if the sliding glass doors are open the front door can slam and pose threat of injury. We have installed an automatic hydraulic door closer which can be heavy to pull open during the winds. This was done as per our association house rules as a safety precaution. Aloha, Mike

Thank you! My stay in March 2011 was wonderful. Your Maui condo is beautiful, comfortable and felt like home (very clean). I enjoyed every beautiful sunset and early morning sunrise, while enjoying a wonderful cup of Kona coffee on your lanai. The sound of the waves in the quiet of night was soothing, as was the early morning smell of the ocean breeze. It felt like being back home again. Some of my personal favorites: Five Palms Beach Grill on Kihei Rd.; drive to Lahaina Town is beautiful - a great place to spend the day; drive to Hana Bay is interesting - lots of stops along the way - gives a real feel of the island. Mama's Fish House is on the way to Hana Bay - a must! I would most certainly recommend your Maui home to anyone I know. When I return - and I will - I would love to have the opportunity to stay at your lovely condo again. MAHALO !

Mike, The condo was great! We completely enjoyed it. Since it was just my wife and I, we did not use any of the fold out beds, but were impressed by them being there - it is in our mind for future trips with our kids. We could not think of a single item as far as furnishings that we were missing - the little extra stuff, such as the cooler and folding chairs for trips to the beach was wonderful! Again, Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We are anxiously looking ahead hoping to plan another visit, and your unit will be the first one we look at for availability. Thanks again! Mark Poorman

Mike and Alicia, We are doing our final packing and just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we have had. This three weeks in your condo has just furthered our resolve to make Kihei our second home in a couple of years when we retire. We will miss the beautiful views from your lanai. The trade winds have kept us cool so the air conditioning has not been necessary...wish we could bottle them up to take back to Hemet with us. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise.
