Breathtaking sunrise over Mt. Haleakala and Ma'alaea Bay from our beach
Location: Maalaea, Central Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA (Maui's Sunny south side, easy access to Best Beaches/airport)
Accommodations: Condo, 2 Bedrooms + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Keywords: Condominium
Hale Hau`oli (Happy Home in Hawaiian), is where your master bedroom and living room are both as close as it is possible to get to the ocean without being sprayed by surf -- a rare find on Maui.
Awake to the sound of surf slapping on the shore reef and stars filling the tropical sky above palm trees swaying in the trade winds. On romantic full moon nights the entire Ma`alaea Bay shimmers silver, highlighted by white-tipped waves and bobbing sea turtle heads. No traffic sounds! Only birdsong and a panorama painted in vibrant golds and reds, luring you out of bed to capture the sun rise over the ancient volcano Haleakala (House of the Sun).
Fix yourself a freshly ground cup of Kona coffee or a nice cup of tea, and a plate of local papaya, mango and bananas on the lanai, with the Pacific Ocean just 60 feet away, so close to the water you can count turtles from the lanai, or just kick back and watch the whales. Why settle for less when you’ve come all this way to experience paradise?
Our luxurious two bedroom, two bath Condo is situated on the top floor of a four-story building in Ma`alaea, on quiet Hau`oli Street, which dead ends into a beach that is a secret to all but local residents. (Beware ground-floor condos in Kihei and Lahaina as they are susceptible to burglaries.)
Our master bathroom has been totally remodelled and has handmade Hawaiian petroglyph tiles with half inch framless glass enclosure. The other bathroom also remodelled, has a pebble floor and a walk-in shower also with half inch framless glass enclosure. The maple kitchen is generously appointed with all appliances, water filters, ceramic sink and a microwave/convection oven.
The floors are soft-on-your-feet maple pergo and tile, with colorful walls and Hawaiian décor. With central air conditioning, you will be comfy no matter what time of year you come. Two elevators guarantee you easy access, and you’ll have a safe reserved parking spot in our off-street parking lot.
Ma`alaea Kai is one of the best buildings on the block, the coolest and the quietest. We have the largest swimming pool, oceanside, surrounded by expansive lawns planted in putting-green grass. Lush blooming hibiscus, bougainvillea and plumeria fill the air with tropical smells underneath coconut palms. Lounge chairs offer a day off to read or work on your tan. Two gas grills and one charcoal grille, cleaned daily by the staff, are placed at the ocean’s edge with tables and chairs. Our resident manager keeps everything ship shape, and lights the shore tiki lights every weekend.
A quick stroll in one direction brings you to the charming Ma`alaea Harbor where fishing and snorkeling boats take off for the day’s runs; or to Haycraft Beach Park where you can either jump into the ocean for a morning dip or walk/run/beachcomb the six miles of secluded sand to Kihei’s Sugar Beach. No crowds here since access to the beach is protected from the road by the bird-filled ponds of Kealia Wildlife Refuge.
Living in centrally located Ma`alaea puts you in walking distance of the Ocean Center Aquarium, the Pacific Whale Foundation, a shopping center and four fabulous oceanfront restaurants a mini-golf and climbing area, a gas station and convenience shops. Beaches for snorkeling, swimming and surfing are all close by, as are 19 famed golf courses. Twenty minutes to the west is the old whaling village of Lahaina, with its magnificent Banyon Tree and shopping galleries. Ten minutes east is the long village of Kihei and a bit further the ritzy resorts of Wailea. You couldn't be in a better place to explore all Maui has to offer.
As we say here: a hui hou, or see you soon! Aloha.

Our stay was wonderful.! There was not a thing you would need that the owners had not thought of; curling irons, hair dryers, binoculars, movies, books, beach towels, noodles and boogie boards, fabulous kitchen, wine glasses, plenty of dishes, and the lanai, perfect. When you go shopping you bring your own recycle bag, no plastic bags. Don't worry, Anne has 4 or 5 hanging up for you in the hall as you enter the condo. The first night was a full moon and of course we shared the photo back home in Oklahoma where it was 110 degrees plus. The condo was first class and well maintained and included air conditioning. Appreciated having a parking spot and just happened to be in front of the elevator to our condo. You are only a short walk to a quiet beach and the locals are so friendly and enjoy sharing their knowledge. During our 8 day stay the beach was never crowed or too busy, just right! Staying in Maalaea is the only way to go. You are centerally located to everything you want to do. A short walk to the acquarium, the Maalaea harbor offers fishing trips, snorkelling or snuba. Great little shops and the two restarants, Buzz Wharf, food was worth every penny. Their speciality are their prawns and tastes like lobster, outstanding!. The casual Beach Bum Bar & Grill had unique dishes to pick from, BBQ, ono fish specials & sweet potato fries and a full bar. During the week above Beach Bums is a swap/fruit market to purchase fresh fruit, spices, coffee, unique jewelry made by the local artisians, (some really nice earrings made out of the coconut shell) lotions & soaps, clothing and much more. We found a great trial mix, coconut, almonds, macadamia nuts, cranberries, raisins, we had to have 3 bags! (all natural). We stocked up on fresh fruit for the week and it was just mouth watering, sure wish we had some of that fruit here in Oklahoma. We attended the Old Lahina Luau which was only about a 20 minute drive. We went ziplining with Skyline Eco Adventure's in Ka'anapali compnay that offered 8 zips and lunch, great company, their guides are profesional and were very patient and knew exaclty how to help each indivdual to keep them calm & in their comfort zone. The guides are funny and keep the laughter flowing - great company. Next time we go back we want to zipline there other location by Mt. Haleakala. Anne and her husband were enjoyable to talk to and hope we can come back in the Spring 2012.

We didn't use the air at all as coming from Houston it was nice and cool in Maui for us. We were so perfectly comfortable in your unit of course we wanted to stay longer. Thank you very much for allowing us to stay later on Saturday it made the world of difference especially having my Mum with us. :-)

As a gaggle of girls from Canada on a relaxation trip to Maui for the first time, Ma'alaea Kai was the perfect spot! The location was fantastic, with only a 10 minute drive to Kihei and only 20 minutes to Lahaina and 15 minutes to the airport! The condo is well laid out and very comfortable, with the most amazing view from the Lanai. The building is quiet and the beach nearby is not crowded with tourists, a definate bonus! It was a pleasure to deal with Anne and her suggestions and tips were very appreciated! We loved Beach Bums (the within walking distance Pub) and spent a few different occasions there having excellent food, great service and inexpensive drinks at Happy Hour! One of our favourite activities was Zip Lining with Flyin Hawaiian Ziplines, which was only a short 5 minute drive up the road - absolutely exhilerating! I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone, thank you for an extremely enjoyable week on Maui!

Thanks Anne, we had a wonderful time, we enjoyed every minute of the vacation-even the event of March 11 will give us lots to talk about for years to come. As noted in the guest book your home was a great home away from home for us. We were particular impressed with the grounds, the pool, the Bar-B-Q and the common areas. The maintenance and cleaning of all these areas was performed to a 5 star standard. The condo was nicely stocked with all that a person needs in the kitchen, the beds were comfortable and the washroom facilities worked well. We would also like to Thank You again for allowing us to stay until we were ready to leave for the airport on April 6th, it made it so much more comfortable waiting out the time at the condo rather than driving around with all the luggage. Thanks again for everything and we would have no issue in recommending you condo or your building to anyone that asked.

Our vacation was so wonderful, the condo is beautifully appointed and everything there including paddle boards and beach towels. We so enjoyed watching the whales and hearing them sing in the still of the morning. We had not been to Hawaii before so it was an extraordinary experience. And yes we may return to Maui. Thank you for sharing your lovely Maui home with us.

We are very much enjoying your condo ... the view is fabulous and it's very quiet here. We drove the road to Hana yesterday, visited Lahaina on Sunday ... we'll probably take it easy today on the beach or by the pool.

We had a wonderful time, and the condo was terrific! The kids loved the pool (I hear the heater is new, so that was great). I loved being able to have the windows open at nite to hear the ocean...I miss it already! Thanks again for everything!

We cannot thank you enough for giving us the time to enjoy Maui while staying in your condo. The setting was perfect and your condo adorable. We took advantage of the ocean breeze by opening the front door and the sliding door. We never heard a peep from neighbors. The place is so peaceful and serene. I left our Hana CD and map in your brochure basket for others to enjoy when they come to visit. Again, thank you or as they say "mahalo" and we hope to return again.
