Overview
Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 3-4)
RENT DIRECT FROM THE OWNERS AND SAVE!!! There's nothing more relaxing than sitting on the lanai watching the palm trees sway in the afternoon breeze while enjoying the fabulous ocean view; the swells breaking over the reef where green sea turtles play. October through April you can see the whales as they breach and teach their young, that’s right, whale watching is possible from the lanai!
Located on the second floor, the Kauhale Makai (Village by the Sea) Resort includes a Sparkling Tile Pool, Hot Tub, and Kiddies Pool, these pools also have beautiful murals of whales and turtles. Putting green, shuffleboard, and volleyball court, as well as barbecue facilities are also on the grounds. Our guests are welcome to use the two public tennis courts located south of Kauhale Makai. Laundry facilities are on nearly every floor of the resort. In addition, a concierge next to the front quest for booking events and attractions.
This condo is furnished with granite kitchen counters, electric appliances, tile flooring and bathroom separated from the lavatory; everything one would need for a 'home away from home. We lament sleeping on poor beds while on vacation, with visions of our bed back home. This is why we have a King-size 'Pillow Top bed manufactured by Custom Comfort Mattress Company in the bedroom. We are sure you will appreciate a good sleep while on vacation. In addition, should you tire of the ocean views, there is high-speed wireless internet for our guests to surf the web or access their e-mail through our WiFi router allowing you to connect your own laptop. The entire condo has been furnished and decorated with island furniture and art, and there is, CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONING! From the moment you walk through the door you will know you are in Paradise. Sorry, but no pets are allowed (resort rules). This is a NON-SMOKING unit.

About The Owner
We have been coming to Hawaii several times each year during the past decade for business and thought; maybe we should invest in our retirement plan now. That was 2002 and we never looked back since. Maui continues to be the one place we can let our shoulders drop and let the tension of work and daily stresses melt away. Our children ask to come to Maui every chance they get. All seasons and through all weather conditions, we have found our sanctuary from the busy, stresses of everyday life. We hope you find our little piece of paradise as enjoyable as we do.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2002
Why The Owner chose South Maui
Maui is our favorite Hawaiian island, Molokai is probably the most serene, but too small to accommodate vacation renters.
What makes this condo unique
While on the mainland, we long for our morning ritual of a cup of coffee on the lanai; watching whales and the parade of boats making their way to Molokini for snorkeling trips. Every evening the sky is a tapestry of color as the sun sets and paints the clouds with the most vibrant colors and shapes as a backdrop to the palm trees keeping in rhythm with the island breeze.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Michael and Alicia,
I apologize we did not get a review in on time, I didn't realize there was a time frame, this was our first time using vrbo. We had a lovely wedding/honeymoon and loved your condo.

Really great stay!
Mike and Alicia! Thanks for the lovely condo. We had a very comfortable stay. When we arrived everything was in place. The location is really great, and we enjoyed spending time at the accessible beach behind the complex. The kitchen was very well equipped, though we did not use much as there were plenty of affordable resturants in the area with a veriety of choices to choose from. Thanks again.
Priya and Gaurav.
Good location, run down property
This condo was probably a great pick about 15 years ago. The space is fantastic--one bedroom, roomy living area with murphy bed, and a nice deck which is great for the sunsets. However, the furniture is old and creates a musty smell in the condo and the AC kicks in a moldy smell that my wife who has asthma had a hard time handling. We did receive prompt attention when we complained and got some cleaning products to work on the moldy smell, but in all honesty this unit needs a deep cleaning and a remodel. At least one sofa chair was unusable because a leg was ripped off. However, if you don't mind the musty smell and you are trying to keep your vacation inexpensive, it works fine.
Clean, great location, overall nice property
My husband and I stayed here while visiting with friends for a wedding so other than sleeping and taking the occasional shower, we didn't really use the place much. If you go to Hawaii to stay in your room, this place probably isn't for you as the TV (in the bedroom) and other forms of entertainment are a bit outdated. However, if all you are looking for in a place to stay is cleanliness, good amount of space, and decent location then this is the place for you.
Great location
Michael and Alice responded very quickly when we needed to get in contact with them. The price was great and would recommend family and friends to stay here!
Great location
Great location. Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping and the grocery store. Great for 3 people but a tighter squeeze with 4. Large fridge and good appliances in the kitchen. If you're staying long, you'll need to buy extra toilet paper and paper towels for the room. TV in the bedroom is outdated and the remote was broken. Blowdryer was also broken. I emailed the owner but he was non-responsive.
Couldn't be better
Loved this place, clean, didn't see any bugs, nice view (the complex is set back from the ocean, but nothing between the condo and ocean but lawn/grass) Great sunset views. Condo had everything needed for a great vacation. My one issue was handled with a phone call. I don't think you can beat the price anywhere. Now if your expecting kanapalii type rooms forget it, but for this price you get a nice, clean, comfortable place to call home. If I'm staying on Maui, I'll return here!
