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 quality bed linens are comfortable and inviting. 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

This condo is beautifully appointed and in a great location. There are a wide range of modern appliances, (including an espresso coffee machines, DVD player with a library of DVDs, and more TVs than we have at home) but mostly for us it was just a restful place to be after activities like diving and biking down the mountain. We felt we were treated like friends, and highly recommend this lovely place. It is a long way from New Zealand, but it was well worth the voyage.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo. The view was remarkable - not only from the lanai, but from the family room, the kitchen and from the bedroom. It was gorgeous. The condo interior was a little outdated, but it was clean and it had everything we needed and the beds were extremely comfortable. After leaving Maui we arrived in Kauai for a week visit where we rented a hotel-like room. Oh how we missed your condo! We hope to make it to Maui again and would very much like to stay at your place again.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My parents and I were here for a week and it was a great experience. Beautiful property and they really do think of everything. the property manager is excellent to deal with and always available to answer your questions. the balcony is the best for morning sunrises and whale watching. the complex is a bit out of the hustle and bustle but we liked that. this place is a little gem...my parents enjoyed it so much we had a bit of a hard time getting them to go out on excursions because the place was so comfortable.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers.

My husband and I just had another spectacular week staying at this Maui condo. Our first trip, two years ago, was just the two of us. We were amazed at how well-equipped and conveniently located this condo was. So, on our second trip, in early December 2012, we brought along our daughter and pre-school grandson. The condo is immaculate, well appointed, has a wonderful view of the complex heated pool and ocean (and sounds of soothing surf). The owners have equipped the condo with boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, puzzles, games, DVD movies, a small collection of books for beach reading, amazingly varied small appliances and dishes, and even a few kitchen staples. (Just bring your own suits, and leave the rest at home.) Comes with all-important Wi-Fi, if you must bring your electronics to work. (I wish I hadn't.) The bedrooms are spacious, deluxe, and great for couples--each with its own full bath and privacy. Bring two more people, if you don't mind using the couch as a pull-out bed. The kitchen is large and spacious, and easily accommodates two or more chefs. Save money by eating in, and dine on the lanai or in the dining room and bar. The condo is located conveniently in walking distance of the Maui Aquarium (don't miss it), the Pacific Whale Foundation whale watching tours (best EVER!), Beachbum Grill, and Porto Wood-fired pizza. The condo neighbors are welcoming and accommodating of children, if you bring them. Quiet hours are observed. We were a short drive from Lahaina and our favorite public beach, Airport Beach (with public restrooms, dressing room, picnic tables, wide, sandy beaches and fantastic snorkeling). Just don't reserve our week! We'll be back!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

My wife and I had a very enjoyable stay in this well equipped condo. The location in Maalea Bay is central to all of the main activities on the island. The pool area and surrounding grounds are always immaculate. Great restaurants in the area and you can BBQ yourself looking over the bay. The A/C was nice to have the few times we needed it. Very handy to have basic staples like condiments, spices etc already in the kitchen. Although we did not have children with us, all of the beach toys you would need are in the closet to keep the young ones happy. We would recommend this unit to anyone who does not want to fight the crowds at hotels or large resorts. We will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This condo was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Great location for touring entire island! We enjoyed watching the whales while lounging by the pool, Old Lahaina Luau, Blue Hawaiian helicopter tours, Lahaina Produce and more. Owners are wonderful to work with! Thanks so much Carl, Michele and Elizabeth. Hope to visit again some day :) We highly recommend this condo!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. It was well stocked with everything we needed. It was so nice to have the boogie boards, chairs and coolers for our adventures exploring beautiful Maui. They have a small book selection which included a few guides touring Maui and that was very helpful. It was a little windy at times but we enjoyed it after being in the heat on other parts of the island. Nice and centrally located.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with young children.

We had a wonderful family vacation and were very happy with this condo. The location is great as it allows easy access to Lahaina and Whalers VIllage to the north as well as to the beautiful sunset and snorkeling beaches to the south. The condo is laid out well and very comfortable. We loved the views, the beach chairs and towels, Wi Fi, walking on Sugar Beach and to the Harbor for a meal, and that we could rent our gear there. We especially loved having the guitar. Laundry is a short way down the hall, coin operated, but the machines work well (no endless feeding of quarters...) and are large and the room is locked. We loved our stay in this condo and highly recommend it.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Amazing. We enjoyed our week in your beautiful condo. Thank you for suggesting we order from Lahina produce. We were able to experience produce that we never would have known about. Your condo was stocked with everything we needed and more. We whale watched as the sun came up several mornings while we enjoyed our coffee, so glad you had binoculars for the show we got to see. New Year's provided us with a great view of all the firework shows on the opposite side of the bay while we celebrated with Hawaiian Pineapple champagne, You are centrally located to everything. The coolers made the road to Hana enjoyable since we could pack drinks, snacks and a picnic lunch. We felt like we had a private beach only a short walk away and we walked to our boat for our snorkeling adventure. We loved having access to a grill and easily sat six at your table for meals. No one wanted to go home when our vacation came to an end. Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful home for a week. We had six adults and never felt cramped.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: 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 dot org. Maalaea Kai on Maui is the perfect contrast to rejuvenate our minds and bodies. Carl & Michele
Why the Owner Chose Maalaea:
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 at this Condo:
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.
