  This property is wonderfully located just outside of the harbor and with a total view of the bay. We were at the end of whale season, but enjoyed several days of watching a mama and calf playing in the bay, as well as others doing breaches and waving with their fins. Although the bath and kitchen are somewhat dated, the condo is clean and exactly as described and owners have thought of everything to make your stay easy and pleasant. They are organized, efficient, and attend to any questions promptly. They have provided all the essentials from band-aids to coffee filters, and many extras including water equipment and binoculars. We loved the four restaurants within walking distance and found the nearby Tradewinds deli owners to be helpful, fun, and providing some great local food, as well. It is a pleasure to be lulled to sleep by the lovely surf sounds and to be cooled by the natural tradewinds that blow in the windows. The grounds, barbecue area, and pool are well-maintained and a pleasure to use. Sugar Beach is located at the end of the street, and we enjoyed many peaceful walks in the morning listening to the surf and exploring the tide pools in the reefs.

  We loved this place! The view from the balcony is gorgeous and we enjoyed the quiet surroundings. The location is very convenient as well. And the price is definitely reasonable. We couldn't find any other condos with an ocean view for this price. Plus the owners are friendly and helpful. All around an excellent choice for those wanting a comfortable, scenic condo, yet traveling on a budget. We are already dreaming of the day we can return!!

  The property grounds and amenities (pool, grills) were clean & well kept, & it is in a very quiet but also very central location, it is a quick drive to almost anywhere. The condo itsef was great! The view is everything it was advertised to be and more. It is not the fanciest/most updated condo out there, but everything was clean & worked. The kitchen was well stocked (even the knifes were pretty decent!), & the beach gear was a nice touch. I believe the tv has been updated since the pictures, it is now a nice (but smaller) flatscreen. There were plenty of decent quality bedding and linens provided. The only downside was the bed - it was fine for me, but my husband (who is dealing with some back problems right now) was miserable on it. The owners were great working out details & answering questions, we really appreciated that - thanks so much for sharing your condo with us!!

  We have stayed in six or seven different complexes in Maui and this is the absolute best. Clean and quiet, close to both Lahaina and Kihei. Staff always in the area and always ready to answer any questions we may have had. We did not see many whales but we were just out of season. We would have no hesitation recommending this unit to friends and associates. Hopefully we can return next year!! Dreena and Ron in Calgary

  We had a great holiday to Maui. We loved the quiet area of this condo complex. The grounds were nice as was the pool. It was a great central location to all areas of Maui which we loved. The unit was nice but could definitely use an update (mostly the rugs). The unit was wonderfully stocked and we really enjoyed the beach gear (chairs/cooler). We loved the view of the ocean from the lanai...so magical. The owners were very easy to work with. LOVED MAUI!!!!

  This was our 3rd time to Maui and we loved staying at this ocean front condo. We've stayed in Kihei twice before with no view of the ocean, we really didn't know what we were missing. We found we loved staying at the condo sitting on the Lanai for hours a day just watching all the surfing action right outside. You get an incredible view of the sunrise every morning and the tiki torches are awesome at night. The condo complex is quiet, relaxing and beautifully landscaped. It's a few minute walk to the shops down the road. Only negative I can say is the condo unit needs to be renovated in the kitchen & bathroom other than that it's a great place for a couple. There are tradewinds in this area but we loved them, we never ever found it cold but made it very comfortable. We would stay in this condo complex again but due to more space requirement would need a 2 bedroom.

  Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Mahalo, Darcy & Lisa, for your kind comments. We agree that there is nothing like being right there. literally ON the oceanfront. Like you, we also have enjoyed the unimpeded view of Haleakala, except bathed in sunset colors, instead of at sunrise! While the kitchen and bath are clean and in top condition, we agree that a little modernization would be a nice touch. And don't forget that we offer our returning guests a 5% discount off any standing prices or discounts in case you contemplate any future Maui vacation. Aloha, Richard and Gwen

  Thank you for the wonderful stay at your Condo & we really enjoyed it. Your Condo has all the amenities we needed on vacation and MORE ! The views from the lanai were simply gorgeous. We watched several whales with the powerful binoculars in the unit ! Our only regret was we did not stay longer. We will be back in the future for a longer stay.We will highly recommend this condo to our family & friends. With sincere regards to Richard & Gwen for making our vacation stay a very pleasant one with their kind hospitality. It was not just what they provided us with but the WAY THEY DID IT ! We really appreciate it very much. This was a Home away from home ! Shiv.

  Owner response: Mahalo, Shiv, for sharing your family's happiness with our condo. You hit upon one primary asset: bring just 50 feet from the ocean means our guests have an unimpeded panoramic view. Thanks to your family for the support of your son's career in the Navy Submarine Service. We support our men and women in uniform. Aloha, Richard and Gwen

  My husband and I returned to Maui after ten years. We were so very pleased that we stayed with you instead of going back to the Lahaina and Kaanapali areas. Your whole street is quiet and relaxing, whereas those other areas have boomed with development and there are literally THOUSANDS of tourists crowding around those few miles of beach and inland. Besides the quiet of your area, we REALLY liked the sandy beach that goes for miles along the abutting wetlands preserve. Phil and I had the one-true-romantic-sunset-walk returning to the Haycraft Park inasmuch as we were all alone on this beautiful beach. We can see why you selected the Maalaea Bay area and we will be returning a lot sooner than ten years--and we will stay with you again. The condo is immaculate and well-appointed, and we appreciated your having recreation gear for us and binoculars and a telescope. Romantic CDs were also there--just right for our 10th Anniversary! You made us feel like this was our home away from home. Thank you, Lois and Phil Davidson

  Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: Mahalo, Lois and Phil, for letting us host you on this, the tenth anniversary of your marriage. We, too, enjoyed the romantic setting of the Maalaea area, and especially of our condo building, grounds, and our individual unit. Each night Eric lights the TIKI torches along the ocean shoreline, and the atmosphere from the lanai is very special. We are pleased that we got to be a part of this important milestone in your life together. Richard and Gwen

  Explanation of Negative Comment. We had a guest comment on a four things that were not right for her. Rather than expose her name and so forth, we chose to leave this comment as our explanation of the negative rating. Here are the four items of her feedback, and each has been rectified (except for leaving food or condiments, inasmuch as our agent will not agree to do that). #1. no bathmat #2. living room curtain dirty #3. mattress cover not clean #4. no food or condiments were left for her and she had to go shopping right away since there was nothing to eat. This is our e-mail response to our guest, the subject title of the e-mail is: Maui Condo Feedback Appreciation Dear Mary, Thank you for your feedback about the condo. Of course we are saddened when our guests are not pleased, as we do our best to keep things in great shape. There should have been a bathmat for the tub. We will direct our rental agent to replace it. We are sure Ginger would have taken care of this while you were there if she had been aware of it. We will also have her send the curtains out for cleaning. We will direct her to have the cleaning staff launder the matress cover after each stay, which we had naturally assumed they would do. We will further ask that she direct the cleaning staff to take note of these things and take care of them before they become problems for our guests. As for food or the condiments....we do not supply a greeting meal upon arrival. But we also felt such things as olive oil or condiments should be available in the condo as a convenience for our guests. But our rental agent felt strongly that there should be nothing consumable left in the condo for safety reasons. We suppose someone could put something in the condiments that could cause illness. We know this is a remote possibility....We can't see someone vacationing in Maui ever doing such a thing, but we lost out on that argument. We do understand your frustration here. It is a pain to have to buy things like salt and pepper for a short stay. We will look into providing small sealed containers or packets that are unopened so guests are not inconvenienced. Again, We do apologize for these problems, and do appreciate your bringing them to our attention. Sincerely, Richard and Gwen

  Our stay at Maalea Kai was just great. The condo is very clean and decorated very nicely. Saw many, many whales, endangered monk seal and of course TURTLES.We highly recommend this unit .

  Owner response: David and Susan, your experience is one of the reasons we decided to buy at Maalaea Kai--the view is absolutely 50 yard line seats when it comes to whale watching! Plus, the sweet little spot where the turtles come (near the beach-side BBQ) is a fun place to just sit and watch them. Richard and Gwen
