Oceanfront Getaway In Paradise

The property is well maintained and beautiful. The way this condo sits, you can enjoy the deck without a lot of sun and wind (in February) just a really nice breeze and beautiful sunsets. We loved how close it was to the beach. The beach is beautiful and not busy at all. We watched whales from the patio and saw turtles swimming in the water just down the beach. The street is quiet and dead-ends at the beach entrance. We really liked how central it was. The home was beautiful (except for the carpet) and all the pictures were very accurate. If it was my place, I would not have carpet in the bedrooms. Lots of beach towels, chairs, cooler, about everything you need. Definitely go to Costco, the grills by the pool are very clean and great to use. If you decide to eat in, the kitchen is very well stocked just bring your food. There are also a lot of great places to eat everywhere.

We did have a few issues but the management and the Owner got right on it and I feel they were accommodating. The only thing that I did not see mentioned is the airplanes. Sometimes at 5:30am, that was tough.

Great place. Thank you Erin and Arnold.

Well stocked unit in a pleasantly quiet complex. The central location allowed us to explore in every direction with minimal time spent in traffic jams. The harbor was an easy 10min walk so getting out on the water was easy as well. Several other businesses near the harbor as well: snorkel equipment rentals, restaurants, ice cream and gift shops. Not as much surf at this location compared to other spots on the island, which people may prefer or not depending on what you like to do. Able to watch migrating whales while sitting on the lanai. Amazing!

Couldn't be happier with everything.

I had some business in Kahului and brought the family along for our first visit to Maui. We found the condo clean, very nice and well stocked with everything you need for a great vacation. It worked perfectly for our family of 4. The location is a great home base for visiting different areas of Maui. In addition to my work in Kahului we visited Lahaina, Kapalua, Kehei, Hana and both sides of Haleakala National Park. The location was a big plus for going to different places since it was so centrally located. The beach (Sugar Beach) is great for walking although the easiest access was through the connected park and not down the steps in front of the property (water was too rough/high). We did not swim/hang out at the beach we chose to find calmer waters elsewhere for our beach days. But it was never far away. The only downside/con for this condo is a lack of central AC. The air conditioner only cools off the living room. You do get a great breeze through the condo though that keeps everything cool, we were very comfortable at night and ran the AC sparingly during our stay. I thought the condo was a great value and very comfortable for our first trip to Maui, everything was as advertised.

We had a hard time trying to decide where to stay during our first trip to Maui--it turns out that this little condo unit in Ma'alea is the PERFECT place to use as a base. It is quiet, has a great beachfront location (a wonderful, long walking beach right next door), yet is also a quick drive to both the Kihei (10 mins?) and Lahaina (20 mins) areas, and an easy drive to the upcountry and Haleakala.

The condo itself is, as others have said, very very well stocked--much appreciated for a week-long stay. We cooked at home a few times, and used the coolers and other beach equipment a couple of times as well--it was great!

We were there during peak whale-watching season, and saw several whales right from our balcony, which was a fun, unexpected treat.

Checking in was easy, but we *did* have to call 3 times to get in touch with the local management company to get the final steps on the instructions. (It was after hours, and he said he was helping others, but it took nearly 30 minutes to talk to someone. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but after 12+ hours of travel from the US East Coast, it could have been a little easier--all we needed was the keycode, which someone could have texted rather than make us wait--something to think about for the future.) The owner (Arnold) was a HUGE help and very responsive, even sending some very practical advice ahead of time about where to go shopping. (Be sure to bring your Costco and Safeway cards!) THANK YOU!!

I would DEFINITELY stay here again if my plans take me back to Maui....and I hope they do!
