Comments from previous guests:
We have enjoyed our two week stay in your lovely suite immensely. The view has provided endless hours of entertainment watching all the whale activity and the daily parade of turtles passing us by. We hope to return next year for a longer stay.

Your condo is beautiful. The lanai overlooking the ocean is just what the doctor ordered. Relaxing to the sound of the waves or watching a million stars at night. Truely this is a piece of heaven on earth. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!
C. and J. K., Michigan,
It is very peaceful here away from the crowds but close enough to shop and see some of the exquisit things on the island. We hope we can return another time. Again, thanks for making our stay a pleasure.
Aloha, H.
The soothing sounds of the ocean soon relaxed us into a comfortable, easy life-style. Ten days of rest and sun. The condo was wonderful! The view, both day and night was wonderful as well. The lights in "Up Country", and across the bay, gave sparkle that was a close second only to the stars above.
Thank you for sharing, V. and S. A., Texas
The perfect winter respite! So much to do and see on this beautiful island but the simple things are still the best - gorgeous sunrises, sounds of the surf, long walks on the beach, whale watching from the lanai, warm golden days, star-studded nights, and even a full moon shimmering all the way across Maalea Bay. Knowing that we were missing Portland's third ice storm this winter made us appreciate our stay here even more.

We really enjoyed the condo. Very relaxed and we appreciated the little extras (i.e. boogie board, coolers, iron, etc.). We are planning to come back next year. Hopefully we will be able to get the same condo. Thanks for everything.

Why the Owner Chose Maalaea
In Maalea you can walk everywhere. It is a short walk to the yacht harbor, the ocean center with all the shops, restaurants, etc, and a short walk into the other direction leads to a long beach, stretching all the way to Kihei. Maalea is central to the Island and it is easy to reach many other different beaches, interesting locations and also shopping within a short drive.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
It is just soooooo relaxing. This unit has the most beautiful ocean view from the Lanai. You can watch whales in the winter and all year round see the majestic Haleakala across the bay. We had many family meals right there overlooking the ocean, listening to the movements in the water, looking for turtles with the binoculars that are available also for our guests during their stay.
A beautiful, state of the art aquarium, a must see and visit on Maui. 5 minutes walking distance from the condo.
Lovely to take a walk to the harbor in the evening or early morning and watch the boats leaving or coming in - also some whale watch boats are leaving from here.
This beach leads all the way to Kihei, again a perfect place for an early morning walk, an afternoon dip in the ocean. 5 minutes walking distance from the condo, then it stretches for miles along the
For a sandwich on the go or anything else you need for the kitchen, this small Delhi / store is a delightful local place with very friendly owners
The small mall behind the Maui Ocean Center has several restaurants and shops that are in 5 minutes walking distance from our condo.
Owner's Map of Maalaea
We are living in Maui since 1993. In 1996 we bought the condo so our family from all over the world can visit, be close to us and enjoy the beautiful location. I work in the public school system as a school based behavioral health counselor and manage the unit after work. I really enjoy having and sharing this beautiful place.

From our Guest Book: We felt so much at home the moment we entered the condo! Could not have imagined such a well-maintained setup waiting for us. The view from the lanai is spectacular! We spent our early mornings & late nights sitting on the lanai and listening to the sea waves.
