E komo mai (welcome) to Maalaea Kai! Thirty-five positive reviews say it all! Our guests love it here! We invite you, too, to experience the Aloha spirit in our upscale oceanfront condo where you can pamper yourself and rejuvenate your spirit. Quality furnishings, central air conditioning, and premium bed linens provide luxurious comfort. Each bedroom has a private bath. Custom finishes and paintings by local artists enhance the island motif. There is a generous DVD collection and three flat-screen TVs for movie aficionados. Soak in the panoramic view from the lanai; watch the humpback whales breach during whale season. Stretch out on the putting-green lawn, just feet from the shore. For adventuring, you are a few steps to the pool and snorkeling beach. A seven minute walk to the east takes you to the three-mile-long Sugar Beach and wetland sanctuary; a five minute walk to the west takes you to a marina for snorkeling, fishing, and diving excursions. Two blocks away, there is a world class aquarium, and Maalaea Harbor Village, teeming with shops and restaurants. For casual dining, we recommend Beach Bums, or if dressing up is more your style, you can’t beat the Waterfront, a 5-star restaurant right next door to our condo complex. Of course, for those home cooked meals, the kitchen comes fully equipped, with espresso machine, coffee grinder, blender, and more! Aloha!
(Check out the festival's weekly Wednesday film series at the spectacular MACC...Maui Arts and Cultural Center...located nearby in Kahului.) There are also books and table games for your use.
For those on a working vacation, there is high speed wireless internet for your use.
As owners and manager, we are delighted that you are considering our condo for your vacation. We are pleased with all the updates we have made inside the condo. We have also enjoyed the many amenities and activities in the surrounding area. We look forward to hearing from you and to helping you book your next vacation at Maalaea Kai. Carl and Michele, and Elizabeth

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2009
We reside in western Washington State where we enjoy nature's beauty. This appreciation for nature and beauty gave us an instant love for Maui! Our lives outside of time on Maui include our regular jobs plus our volunteer work with orphansafrica.org. Maalaea Kai on Maui is the perfect contrast to rejuvenate our minds and bodies. Carl & Michele
Why the Owner Chose Other Kihei Properties
We explored the islands over the last several years looking for the place that would be just right for us. We found Maalaea Kai to be just the place. Maui is tropical beauty plus all the amenities we could ever want. Maalaea Kai is centrally located to every part of the island but perfectly private. We love the water sports access that Maui offers as well as dining and shopping. Our Maalaea Kai 305 unit is comfortable, stylish, equipped, and a place we always want to return.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Spending time on the most fabulous lawn on the planet right next to the ocean! Sitting on the lanai in the evening watching the moon reflecting over the bay and listening to the breeze in the palm trees and hearing the ocean waves at the shore.

July 19, 2009: “The welcome basket was a great way to start our four day stay. We enjoyed the wine and chocolates right away on the lanai. Our three kids used the boogie boards and beach towels every day. The Haycraft Park beach down the street had a nice clean water shower, but the sand was quite shelly for the kids. Big Beach, south of Wailea, was terrific for boogie boarding, although it does not have clean water showers. The Italian restaurant, Antonio’s, 1215 S. Kihei Rd., was very good with reasonable prices. We really enjoyed the constant breezes and ocean vistas here. We BBQ’d at the gas grills by the pool. The steaks we had picked up at Foodland in Kihei were so very tender. Thanks for the many nice touches. I enjoyed the guitar and taught my daughter to play.” California, USA

July, 2009: “Dear Carl and Michele, We have truly enjoyed our Hawaii vacation! The condo had everything we needed and we couldn’t ask for a more beautiful view. Our kids loved jumping into the pool after playing at the beach. We also loved sitting on the lanai and feeling the wonderful breeze while looking out at the ocean. Thank you again for your hospitality. This has been a vacation we will never forget!” – Portland, OR, USA

March 2009: “Wonderful holiday! Thank you for the use of your well-supplied Condo. There are always the “I wish I had . . .” Used the driving magazine when we did the Hana drive. We missed the Lindbergh’s grave and ended up doing the circle drive! The kids did the Cave trip with “Blue Water Rafting” and just loved it. Said it was a better ride than Disneyland ones. We all did the whale-watching with the same company and found them very knowledgeable and hospitable. They know their customer service. We don’t want to go home!!” Alberta Canada

Feb 24 – March 7, 2009: “ First, thank you! We had a wonderful vacation, in part due to your condo. It fit our family perfectly and we were more than comfortable. We loved the location, we could go to either side of the island quickly. All of the extras you have here were just like icing on the cake. We used the chair, boards, and cooler every day. My parents stayed next to this building and they had no extras, so they brought all the chairs, noodles and towels over to your condo ‘cause they thought you cared enough to care about the people you let stay here. All of the extras are so great. Thank you. My children loved seeing the whales every day. We can’t wait to come back. Thank you again. Mahalo. Alaska

• “Carl and Michele, We had a great time in a great place. We enjoyed some of the island’s offerings like: the feast at Lele, aquarium, Sugarbeach, spam musubi, Kotcomo Cop Convention, and fish taco’s . . . oh and the 5 star restaurant next door. But most of all we enjoyed your condo and Maalaea Kai. The naps, floating in the pool, sunbathing, BBQ’s, and espresso on the Lanai. I especially enjoyed Broad Band. We’ll be back.” Washington, USA

June 25, 2009: “Carl and Michele, We don’t want to leave this paradise. Unfortunately, time flies when you’re having fun. We had the time of our lives here! Thank you for making our stay at the Maalaea Kai comfortable and memorable. The view from our balcony is amazing and will forever be imprinted in our memory. Just to let you know, we’ve completed every puzzle on the shelf . . . that inspired us to purchase 2 new puzzles of the Haleakala Volcano (which we watched the Hawaiian sunrise from . . . at 5 in the morning . . . yes, it was worth it!). At this very moment the six of us are watching the surfers outside our window. We dearly want to stay here forever . . . but we must go . . . all good things must come to an end. We hope and pray that all who stay here feel the love, comfort, protection, and blessing that we have felt during our stay. We hope to come back someday! Many Mahalos with Love,”

June 17, 2009: “Carl and Michele, Wow! We have had such a wonderful family holiday and we love your condo. Sitting on the lanai, sipping coffee, watching the surfers . . . it’s the perfect place to think and pray. We loved hiking the Haleakala crater early in the morning and hiking into the 400-foot waterfall at the end of the Road to Hana. We loved the enormous waves at Big Beach and the restaurant next door is superb. Mostly, we loved the slow pace of life here and we loved how quiet it is here at the complex. We feel refreshed and restored. Mahalo!!” Ontario, Canada
