If you don't see the dates you want available on my calendar, please contact me. I also help friends rent their condos and can probably find you an oceanfront condo for your stay.
Whether you are inside or out you'll be in the tropical mood staying in our condo. Painted with flowers and palm trees will give you the same feeling inside as you will find outside among the tropical foliage and banana trees.
Our fully-equipped, smoke-free, private, oceanfront, one bedroom, one bath, third floor condo in the Milowai commands a magnificent panoramic view of the deep blue ocean. Direct your eyes downward from the lanai to the pool, which is equally as blue as the ocean. It is truly the endless summer!
Have your breakfast on the lanai, as we love to do, while watching the sunrise over the majestic Haleakala volcano while you mentally plan your lazy day.
Hey...ask us about the 2-bedroom we have available for only $130/nt plus tax and cleaning...also oceanfront! And another for only $110/nt plus tax and cleaning!
There are 41 units in our complex and we are surrounded by cane fields and the ocean. Among the stenciled palm trees and flowers, our condo is tastefully decorated in Pier One style and has everything you can imagine to make your vacation extremely comfortable. We've equipped it as we would like a vacation rental to be for us. In fact, we just bought a new sealy mattress and box spring so your nights with be just as enjoyable as your days!
In the winter months you can relax right on the lanai and let the humpback whales entertain you, or walk a block to the Ma'alaea Harbor and board one of the many boats available to take you out into the Harbor for a real up-close view.
Oh, and don't forget to watch for the turtles swimming around. On the walk back, take advantage of a great meal at one of the award-winning restaurants for a quick snack or full-course lunch or dinner. In fact, one of these restaurants, the Waterfront, is located right on the first floor of the Milowai!
At the end of our dead-end road, there is a four-mile sandy beach that awaits your laziness. On your walk to the beach, you will be greeted by the friendliest people you can meet -- hellos and smiles will be abound.
Once at the beach you can sit in the warm inviting sunshine, or under one of the wide, broad shaped trees. We've even seen vacationers taking advantage of a relaxing massage right on the beach. Now that's heaven on earth!
The Ocean Center (Aquarium) and shops are located one block away and a miniature golf and rock climbing center is right next door to the Ocean Center.
There is also a convenience store and gas station located in the Ocean Center complex for your quick shopping needs. Major shopping is ten minutes away and we are centrally located so you can visit all parts of the Island very easily.

Just returned from spending 5 weeks in the above condo . The discription of the property is right on. The view from the balcony is priceless. Waking up with the sun shinning in your unit really starts your day off the right way. The condo is well furnished and everything you could want is there. We especially enjoyed the small table and chairs for eating our dinner. We called it "The Bistro". Everything is as listed in the discription and then some. Barbara is a treat to deal with. This is our 3rd time staying in one of her condo's and we feel she is a friend now. We had such a great time we have already book for 6 weeks next year.

My mom and I stayed here for 5 days and we loved that it lived up to the pictures - GREAT view of Ma'alaea Bay from the balcony. The condo had everything that we needed - including siverware, dishes, spices, extra blankets, pillows, towels, beach towels, travel guides, maps, binoculars, scuba gear, movies, books... The list goes on and on - Barbara even welcomed us by putting a fresh pineapple and banana bread in the fridge for us. The community was quiet, and whenever we went to the pool, we were the only ones there. Plus there's a great little beach right out in front of the building - great for beach combing and sun bathing. The condo itself is located in between two cities that we really enjoyed - Kihei to the south, and Lahaina to the north. We were right in the middle and toured both cities a couple times during our stay. It was nice to come back to this condo and relax in the sun in the mornings and evenings. Excellent retreat if relaxation is your goal. Highly recommended - we had a fantastic time and felt so comfortable with where we were staying.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was clean and inviting. The view from the deck was stunning. We were only a short walk to the boats, which we went on for a snorkel cruise, and to shopping and restaurant. We would definitely stay there again.

Barbara's condo felt like home. We stayed the last week of March and had everything we needed right at our fingertips, (even suntan lotion and shampoo was provided!). We watched the sun rise from the lanai at 6:30 a.m. Sunbathed on the perfectly manicured poolside lawn from 9-11, snorkled & beachcombed right in front of the condo. The Condo was extremely quiet and private and yet very centrally located; about 8 miles from the airport, 8 miles to Kehei &10 miles to Lahaina. Too many nice things to do there, so we hardly had a chance to watch the huge flat screen TV, (but it was there if we so wished). The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and the futon in the living area is comfortable too, (you'll need 2 people to get it into the flat bed position for sleeping). PERFECT Find. I would stay again!

We have stayed in Barbara's condo for the past 5 years and already have our 2012 reservations booked. We consider it our second home and always look forward to our return. Barbara provides everything you need in the condo. The view is fantastic and the condo is located centrally on the Island, close to wherever you want to go. We would highly recommend this condo for your visit.

Disappointed in Colorado

Review Submitted: 04/06/11
Excellent location! Owner very helpful and personable. Unit was not as expected from pictures. Overall pretty beat-up condition. Had to buy a skillet because the one there was a 'rocker-bottom'. Too much stuff in every available space and not enough room for groceries, etc. in the kitchen. Ditto, the bedroom closet - not enough room. No comfortable place to sit in the living room area. I'm sorry but because of the shabby condition of the unit, we will not be back.
Owner response:I am so sorry our condo did not meet the expectations of this guest and wished I would have known of their unhappiness while they were there so i could have tried to better their stay. Although every review (over 40) have raved about this condo there's always room for improvement. I've already tried to condense items in the kitchen to make way for more groceries if needed. The bedroom closet houses the beach equipment since we cannot store it on the lanai because of condo rules, however that also has been addressed. I've even bought a new chair for the living room. I just spend $300 last year on all new pots and pans that have a multi-year guarantee and will seek out the 'rocker bottom' to return to the manufacturer. I don't understand the pictures comment as the pictures on the website are the exact pictures of the condo. As I mentioned, there's always room for improvement with everything and I will always strive for excellence with my guests.

My boyfriend and I stayed at the condo for 6 days -- it felt like our home away from home! First of all, the condo is in a great spot on Maui and it was fully equipped with everything we needed. The view was breathtaking -- we enjoyed cooking many meals in the kitchen and eating on the lanai. The area was very peaceful and quiet. The beach area the condo sits on is not suitable for swimming and it's a little rocky. However, there are plenty of beaches on Maui to explore! The price of the condo was comparable to hotels, as well. We loved every minute of our Maui vacation -- we didn't want to come home! Next time we visit we will definitely be staying here again!

My husband and I stayed in this condo in early December and loved it. It is comfortably furnished and very clean. The material that was sent to us ahead of time was very helpful as it included information about what was provided, which is everything we needed for our holiday including beach towels and chairs. The first class restaurant on the first floor of the building was a real plus as were the variety of other restaurants within easy walking distance. I think the thing we liked most was being right on the ocean and yet away from the hustle and bustle of the resort areas so it was quiet and relaxing. Barbara had a pineapple and homemade banana bread on the counter to welcome us. Thanks, Barbara! We'll be back!

I received this comment by email from Robert Young. Hello Barbara My name is Robert Young. I'm not sure if you remember me, but we spoke last month and I booked your condo in Maui from October 24 to October 31. I don't normally send feedback to companies or people I do business with, but I felt compelled to do so in this case. My wife and I enjoyed your condo immensely!! Not only did we enjoy your condo, but the condo complex and in particular dealing with you. From the moment we started communicating about the availability of your condo, you were able to make me feel at ease. I'm a first time VRBO user and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The only downside is you've set the bar high for my expectations in dealing with other people renting out their properties going forward. It takes special skill to make a person feel comfortable enough to do business over the Internet, in a different country, thousands of miles away. You have those skills and more. Your emails addressed every question I had. The supporting documents you sent after payment were fantastic! The directions were easy to follow. The commentary of what is around the area were very helpful. You were able to eliminate any questions we could have had and let us focus on enjoying our vacation. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. Your condo is more than just a unit filled with furniture and a few basic pots, pans and dinner ware. It's a home! The amenities such as the Road to Hanna CD, the cooler, beach towels and umbrellas for the beach were very welcomed. Providing items such as spices, margarine, foil for the bbq and other basic kitchen amenities allowed us only to focus on purchasing food and drink. We swam in the pool everyday and didn't have to share it with anyone. In fact there was never anyone on the pool deck at all. Also the residents of the complex were very friendly and helpful. All in all, you have put together a great package that extends beyond just the condo. The home your provided is better than any hotel room and was a welcomed refuge to come to each day after doing touristy things and enjoying the island. Everyone travels differently, but my wife and I will always remember your condo, the condo complex, the location and all the finishing touches you provided. Great job and thanks for a wonderful stay! Feel free to use any of this content for your VRBO posting. Warm regards, Robert Young
