Loved the location. So close to everything. Setting is quite picturesque. Appreciated the instructions on using things in condo. Communication with hosts was marvelous. We arrived in the midst of epic storm and power went out as soon as we arrived so the start to our trip was an unexpected. Condo is a great place for a couple or a small family.
Great place. Felt home-y! Really nice there was room for 3 teenagers upstairs. Appreciated cupboards full of dishes and basic supplies including spices & basic pantry items. The condos pool, bbqs, and grounds were all very well kept.Thanks for sharing your home!
Had a wonderful stay - the condo was as advertised and stocked with everything you need for a beach vacation!! Location is perfect and within walking distance to the beach, markets and many restaurants. Definitely recommend!!
Thank you for the 5 stars. Kihei is a wonderful location. The beaches are superb and Kihei Town is walkable to many restaurants and shopping. Please come again and be guests in our home in Paradise!
Aloha,
Laurie and Alan
This condo was everything we needed it to be. It was clean, spacious, stocked with necessities, close proximity to shopping & eateries, and most importantly within walking distance of the most beautiful beach. Our family of four enjoyed our stay, and would gladly rent this space again. Thank you so much!

My reason for coming to the islands was a little bittersweet... My Mom died during COVID and this was the first opportunity to come to Hawaii where she was raised and distribute her ashes off of Waikiki. Maui was the second part of the trip and my husband and two of our best friends wanted a space to start the healing process. This place was perfect. It allowed us to have meals while looking at beautiful sunsets. We loved how close it was to shopping, restaurants, and most of all the beaches. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

We spent 9 nights in this condo the end of March. Everything was as described and it worked very well for our group of 6....grandparents, parents, and 19 month old. The condo was well equipped and had all that we needed, including a port-a-crib and high chair to attach to a dining chair. We also appreciated having beach equipment...4 chairs, an umbrella, and towels. The location was great and was easy walking distance to Charley Young Beach.
Laurie was a wonderful host and very easy to communicate with! We appreciated her prompt replies to all of our questions.
Great location! We have stayed at Maui Vista for over 20 years and this is the first 2 bedroom unit. Everything was perfect, from comfy Lanai furniture to King Size beds. All appliances are very modern (not always the case in units constructed in the 80s). The extra large (expanded) Upper bedroom makes a huge difference. We had 4 adults with all the luggage necessary for golf equipment so there was lots of room to store (this is rare!). As always, Maui Vista is so perfectly located and well kept up as to be one of the best values in Kihei.

Of course one never wants to leave Hawaii, this condo was so cute we decorated and had everything we needed. I, the grandma, slept on the daybed upstairs and my daughter and toddler slept in the big bed on the other side of my curtain. Dad and nine-year-old slept in the bedroom downstairs. I became very attached to the condo and wish I owned it! Highly recommend.

Kihei is an excellent location for exploring Maui. We found that we spent much less time driving than our last time on Maui when we stayed at Kapalua Bay. We appreciated short walks to 4 excellent local beaches, on site tennis courts and nearby food truck courts. More excellent beaches are also within 30” drive. This is a good location for snorkelers, tennis enthusiasts, golfers, runners and swimmers. I worked with the owner for late checkout but was not able to get the code to work for the extra day. This was not a major problem. We also ate the majority of our meals at this condo.

Mahalo for the review. We appreciate you letting other guests about our condo and Kihei Town. We are trying to get to bottom of why your late check-out door code did not work. We look forward to you being guests in our Maui home again.
Aloha, Alan and Laurie
This is a great condo in a perfect location--right next to one of the best beaches on Maui, and walking distance to many great restaurants. We had our 2 grandsons staying with for us for a couple of nights and they loved the upstairs bedroom. The king-sized bed in the downstairs bedroom is very comfortable; the condo has great recreational equipment to use and the kitchen has pretty much anything you might need. It is in a very quiet and peaceful location. The lanai faces the perfect direction because it offers some glimpses of the ocean but never gets direct sunset at anytime during the day. We never used the air-conditioning because the fans and the breezes coming thru the condo provided all the cooling we needed for comfort day and night. We would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a great condo in what we think is one of the best locations on Maui--we have been to Maui many times over the years and we always stay at MauI Vista.

Great space for a family, centrally located and pretty close to the ocean.
Overall it was fine. A few problems with cleanliness - pillows need replacing (and pillow protectors) as they are marked for replacing but they are still being used. Upstairs king bed needs a memory foam or something as it’s very springy (probably fine for children). On removing the pillows from the upstairs pillows they were marked “for pillow shams only not for sleeping on” - they found this after sleeping on them for two weeks. The downstairs shower had mold all over the shower liner, the rubber bath mat and the plug. I bought another liner then found one under the sink later. Cleaners should have seen this. Otherwise it is a very nice property.

Aloha Debbie,
Thank you for your review. You are correct that the house keepers should have noticed the mentioned items. We are sorry about their oversights. I have brought this to their attention. I wish you would have told me during your stay and we could have made corrections accordingly. We take pride in keeping our condo as a home away from home with superior comfort and cleaning standards. We keep extra items in our condo storage area for these types of situations. I hope that this will not keep you from returning to be guests in our condo once again.
Mahalo and we look forward to you returning to Kihei,
Aloha,
Laurie
We had a wonderful time! The condo was cute, very well organized, and exactly what we were looking for! We are a family of 5. Our kids enjoyed the upstairs and were comfortable with the beds. We were able to use the beach chairs provided which came in handy. Laurie, the owner communicated with us many times and was extremely attentive. To make it easier for us, we only used the upstairs shower which was very roomy and had good water pressure. I feel like this condo is in a great central location. We explored majority of the island and visited multiple beaches. Laurie had given us some recommendations for beaches, restaurants, etc and we’re were happy with all of them. My only minor complaint is that the downstairs bedroom has an air conditioner which is attached to a timer of 2-3 hours. We only used the air at night and it was frustrating to wake up hot because it had turned off. The air in the living room and upstairs worked until you turned them off. I also didn’t find the downstairs bed very comfortable (I have a bad back and am picky for that reason)
Overall, we all had a wonderful time and didn’t want to leave!!

Mahalo for your 4 ⭐️ review! It sounds like your family had a wonderful time together in Maui. The new energy efficient split system a/c has been a great addition to the condo. Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to add one to the downstairs bedroom. The 3hour timer is now only in the bedroom (the livingroom used to have one, also). Due to Maui’s limited energy resources, it has become common to add the timers to the a/c units. It was added to avoid having the a/c running continuously when not in the condo. Sorry for the inconvenience. The downstairs’ mattresses were more recently replaced (bedroom and sofa bed). We are sorry that it was not the right fit for your back condition.
It was my pleasure to assist you with your vacation plans. We hope you return to Maui soon!
Aloha, Laurie
This was our 7th stay at various Maui Vista (MV) units. We continue to choose units at Maui Vista for their combination of reasonable pricing with great access to the balance of what Kihei and the surrounding activities that south Maui - from Ma’alaea to Makena - offer.
For those who have not stayed in Kihei before, you should be forewarned about the busyness (and noise) of Kihei Rd. in front of the MV development (primarily impacts building #1). But being on Kihei Rd. also means you have easy walking access to multiple shops and restaurants, something that is not true in many other locations.
Choosing this unit in building three provides maximum quiet, but a little longer walk to Charlie Young beach. Most people consider a patio facing the parking lot a second choice from an ocean facing unit - we disagree because we were able to enjoy a cool drink on afternoons on a shaded patio rather than having the glare and heat of the late day sun.
In the unit itself, the upstairs is more recently updated and is cute in every way. The downstairs is a bit older, but well maintained and stocked. The brand new full size washer and dryer were appreciated. The kitchen is well stocked with dinnerware, pots and pans and everything we needed. Our only complaint was that all knives were terribly dull and the provided sharpener was useless against them. Clear instructions for using the TV and internet were appreciated, although the absence of a stereo was a surprise. A larger coffee table in front of the couch would have been appreciated for reading, meals and TV watching. Also, we would have appreciated a couple stools for when we invited guests to join us on the patio (all the patios are small - the kitchen chairs are too big and the one stool in the unit was so rickety that we didn’t dare use it).
Beach chairs, umbrella and a cooler are provided, a boogie board was absent and would have been appreciated.
All in all we found this unit to be clean, well stocked and well maintained. We enjoyed our stay and got what we expected for the pricing. And in our mind, Maui Vista continues to be a winner in terms of location and pricing.

Aloha Joe,
Thank you for your 5* review of our Maui home and we are happy that you had a wonderful stay. You were wonderful guests. Reviews like yours gives us an opportunity to address some of the issues people may encounter. We totally agree with you about the position and location of our condo. We choose its location specifically due the ocean facing condos having the hot afternoon sun glaring into the condos. We are glad that you appreciated all of the amenities that we provide for our guests, as well as all of the more recent updates upstairs and downstairs (new wood stairs and upstairs, new tile floors throughout the downstairs, new draperies, new sofa and chair cushions, new entertainment center, new washer and dryer, and as always new designer bed quilts and linens and beach chairs are replaced as needed). Thank you for the comments on some of the items in the condo. We had the knife set professionally sharpened (the local knife sharpener expert moved off island), but we will address the situation this month when we are there. (April-we replaced it with a set of new Henckel knives!) As mentioned in the description of our condo, it is suited for 4 guests to 6 guests. We have provided indoor dining for 4 and additional dining/seating for 2 on the lanai (that's all that fit comfortably on the lanai). We have a total of 7 chairs that can be used in the condo. Upon arriving to the condo this past week, we were surprised to see a foreign rickety stool that we did not purchase in the condo! I guess some guest picked it up and left it. (We used to have 2 more stools on the lanai, but it got too crowded and guests complained). The Smart TV in the living room has cable tv channels with several channels playing all sots of music (in leu of a CD player or stereo).We are sorry that you may not have realized that. We do have DVD/CD players in both bedrooms. Alan and I have started traveling with our Echo Dot to play our own music and radio stations!! We had to stop providing boogie boards due to a liability issue. Many of our guests purchase or rent them. We hope that you will come back and be guests in the future.
Mahalo,
Alan and Laurie

Wonderful Condo
When we visit Maui we always stay in the Maui Vista. We like the location as Charley Young beach across the street is one our favourite places to hang out and with a 15min walk in either direction you have stores and restaurants. The complex is well kept with 3 BBQ areas, 3 small pools and lots of tennis courts. For our family it is a perfect fit and we have rented abut 10 different condos here over the years.
This property is one of the nicest we have stayed at as far as the interior layout and furnishing. The interior is decorated in fun fashion with lots of cool Hawaiian touches (I love the Hula lamp). It also had unique renovation to make the loft larger and enclosed it with shutters. Add in King Size beds, a day and fold out bed and you have lots of sleeping room. We just had 4 of us there, but it work easily for more people. You can tell the owners love their unit.
The upstairs shower is great for getting clean from the beach as it is a multi head unit and you can sit down in it. EVERYthing you need is in the condo including beach gear (we left an boogie board and rod to add to the gear), also the kitchen has everything including unexpected things like a blender, waffle maker, spices etc. Everything is labelled so you know where to find it or where to put it back. Like I say the condo is up there with the best units in the vista - if not the best unit. As it is in the third building it is very quit at night, but still a short stroll down to the beach.
As for the downsides, the list is short and minimal. As another reviewer pointed out the beach chairs are comically uncomfortable. We found them to be basically unusable. We rented some Tommy Bahama chairs for our stay. If we are were staying a bit longer we would have bought TB chairs and left them there as they are $29 at costco. Another potential downside is the bedrooms have TV's but I think you can only get netflix on them. This didn't effect us at all, but if you like to watch the news in bed you would be out of luck. The last downside is the most significant one for us. The view from the lanai is not as nice as many of the other 4 floor condo's in the Vista. You can see bits of Ocean but for the most part you will see buildings, parking lot and trees. If you compare this to the view to other units that overlook the pool you can see allot of Ocean and even watch whales. Still the lanai was quit and you could see the sunset.
The owners are great people, and I recommend this unit.

We really appreciate guests like Jeff and his family staying in our condo home. Mahalo for the very nice review. We do love our Maui condo and try to think of 'everything' you might need for a comfortable time in Paradise! In June, two 'Tommy' backpack chairs were added to our 4 sand chairs! We recently added the wall mounted TV's and DVD's to the bedrooms. Unfortunately, we are unable to get Cable TV in the bedrooms, so the addition of the 'Smart' TV's or DVD players give additional viewing options. Regarding the view; we choose our condo because it DID NOT face due West (full ocean view). Thus avoiding the hot, direct afternoon sun beating on the lanai and living room window, like some of the other 4th floor MV condos, which results in a very warm condo in the evenings. The tree in the parking lot has grown quite tall and is obstructing some of our distant ocean view. However, we especially love to see the Spring and Summer sunsets from the lanai as well as the night lights of Ma'alea Bay and the West Maui Mountains.
Mahalo and we look forward to you being guests at our condo again!
This was a good location in S. Kihei in building 3 of Maui Vista and about a 13 minute walk to the beach. There is limited parking to unload chairs etc. Condo was nicely stocked. Everything worked. Comfortable for the three of us...Mom, daughter and teen. (2 bedrooms/1loft.) There are instructions on use of everything and owner plans to update tv instructions for those of us not too "techie"with several remotes! Rental was just after storms in Hawaii and the property cleanup was very good. The Property Mgr. works only sporadically on weekend, and getting a parking pass was challenging at checkin. Streets were all drivable with repairs continuing. A pool exists for each complex and is nice. Grocery and restaurants are within driving but quite expensive which was anticipated. Our favorite was Nutcheree Authenic Thai in the Azeta Mall. We liked shopping in Paia. Love Maui and you can't beat the sunrises and sunsets.
Everything went smoothly with our rental experience. We were a group of 4 adults and two children. Used tennis courts and pools. Condo is centrally located in Kihei so access to water activities, beach, bike rentals, tours was perfect. Received condo in excellent condition. Would rent this property again!

About the host
Hosted by Alan & Laurie McCann
Aloha! Alan and Laurie both grew up in California, and we LOVE the ocean & beaches. Living part time in Hawaii has been a dream come true. Alan is an avid golfer, ocean swimmer, bicyclist, scuba diver, and outdoors man; Maui is perfect for him. Laurie enjoys reading under the palms, walking on the beach, snorkeling, open water aerobics, yoga and recently took up a life long passion to paint outdoors with other artists. Having our own piece of paradise that we call 'Home' is awesome! Sharing Maui with our family (5 grown kids and 2 grandchildren) as well as good friends has been some of our fondest memories! We hope that you will enjoy exploring Maui as much as we do and will want to keep coming back. Mahalo, Laurie and Alan (California- Sacramento/San Francisco Bay Area)
Why they chose this property
Kihei is still an Hawaiian beach town. We wanted it ALL- a safe neighborhood, walk to Maui's best beaches, diving and snorkeling, palm trees and nightly ocean sunsets. Maui Vista Resort is centrally located within walking distance to shops, dining, surf lessons, groceries, beach rentals, public transportation and more. You can choose to play golf on numerous local championship courses. Kihei is located minutes from Wailea (shopping and resorts). We wanted to own a condo that we could allow the teens to walk (on their own) to various locations, safe for little ones to play on the grounds, but quiet enough for total relaxation. Our condo is truly a retreat home away from home!
What makes this property unique
Our Maui Vista condo is a one of a kind. We have the expanded loft bedroom and enlarged loft bathroom. We are located in QUIET building 3 on the top 4th floor away from the main street. Two split system air conditioners and one portable a/c, two king sized beds and more! Every morning you can look out at the ocean and watch the tropical birds in the palm trees (one almost within an arms reach!) or look out over beautiful Plumaria trees and tropical gardens. And, most of the year there is an unbelievable sunset visible from our lanai. Three sets of Championship Tennis Courts (some with Pickle Ball) and a barbecue/picnic area are just downstairs. One of the three Maui Vista's gated pools is located minutes from the door! Our gardens have beautiful tropical flowers and a variety of trees, grassy areas and paved walking trails to the main road and beach. While staying in the condo you will have all the conveniences of home.
