Lovely Tropical Retreat! Spotless and amazingly well equipped. Great rates.
E komo mai meke aloha kakou! Welcome to Maui Vista 1225.
For the sixteen years we have been associated with vrbo, we have used this space to tell you about the features and benefits of our condo. We have wanted you to know what others have said about staying with us and about the care and love we have lavished on the unit. And so we are going to offer you one recent review here:
Another AMAZING Maui visit
In past reviews, I have raved about Stafford and Nancy's place. This one continues that pattern. It's hard to honestly describe how nice this condo is, how well located, how EXTREMELLY well stocked, and how AMAZING the owners are. We had a wonderful time (except we had to leave and come home). Nancy checked in with us on our first day to make sure everything was great, and gave us a farewell call on our last day. I have rented from VRBO probably 30 times, and this couple are hands down the best owners to work with. If you get an opportunity, book this condo - you will be thrilled. But dont book in January - we plan to come back every year.

And, by the way, this guest did return in 2023 and 2024 and is booked for 2025!
We are very much hands-on owners and regularly update and maintain the unit - the closet sliding doors were replaced in 2018 as was the stove (or is it an oven?) The living room air conditioner was replaced in 2023, the dishwasher in 2023, and the tables in 2020. And in August of 2023, the bathroom was renovated to install new pipes in the wall (evidently, plumbing only lasts so long), new fixtures, and tile. although the condo has been updated but still it has the feel of the tropics in the furniture, art work, and color scheme.
If you have read the reviews, you know that we supply everything we can think of to make your vacation easy and stress-free. We have herbs and spices, sugar, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, storage bags, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, lots of bath tissue, paper towels, and Kleenex. And, of course, pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes, glasses, etc. There are lots of pillows - we regularly toss older ones and buy new - beach towels, regular towels, and sheet sets. Oh yes, and beach chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, coolers and blue ice. Please know that we make every effort to keep the condo well-stocked; forgive us if we are temporarily low on some items.
We suggest that you check in to the condo before you buy anything but your personal food and drinks to avoid spending vacation money on things already in the unit (this note was a suggestion of a recent guest).
We are at the condo at least three times a year to deep clean (as in on hands-and-knees scrubbing the tile, cleaning and polishing the Pergo, and cleaning the area rugs) and restock all of the supplies we provide for you. It is important to us that the condo and its contents are clean and well-arranged. And Maggie, our housekeeper, is outstanding. We are so lucky to have her. We all do our best to keep the unit clean and you safe and healthy. But still, in this age of covid, when you decide to travel, whether to Hawaii or elsewhere, there is the risk that you might contract this virus or another illness. It’s a risk that you need to think about and decide if you want to assume.
The location of the Maui Vista is across the street from Charlie Young Beach, the north end of Kamaole One Beach Park. It’s a short two-to-three-minute walk to the beach. There are many shops and stores within walking distance on South Kihei Road and a grocery store (Foodland) about a half a mile north of the condo.
We hope that you will decide to travel to Maui and that you will seriously consider staying in Maui Vista 1225.
A hui hou, (until we "talk" again),

Three legal issues: we must provide our tax registration number(s) - they are GE 014-590-3616-01 and TA 014-590-3616-01; our management company information: Maui Condo and Home, phone number 808-8789-5445; and our tax map key/parcel ID: RP 2-3-9-018-003-0048-000
Information on taxes:
As on Feb.. 1, 2021, vrbo has added THE GENERAL EXCISE TAX OF 4.167% (now 4.712%) TO ITS SERVICE FEE (not their idea - the state required it). Vrbo shows that tax separately.
In January of 2023, Maui County added its own Transient Accommodations tax of 3% and in January of 2024 upped the General Excise tax from 4.167% to 4.712%.
These two changes bring the total tax you pay to 17.962%. (State TAT = 10.25%, County TAT = 3%, and GET = 4.712%)
Vrbo now is co-mingling (with the accommodations taxes) the tax you are charged on the management fee from Maui Condo and Home (our on-island managers, required by law). The fee of $50 is shown separately but the Transient Accommodations Tax and the General Excise Tax on the $50 are co-mingled with those taxes on accommodations.
Hawaii requires that you are told what taxes you are paying - taxes that are "visibly passed through" to you, so that's why this note. You will be paying $8.98 on the $50 Maui Condo fee.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Stafford or Nancy Lombard

Aloha! We're Hawaii residents - we live in Keaau, Big Island, just south of Hilo Town. We moved here from the Seattle area (go Mariners!) 17 years ago. Stafford is retired, or as retired as one can be when managing an acre of yard, fruit trees, coffee, and pineapples in Hawaii. Nancy also retired in July of 2016. It's her fourth time. This one seems to have taken!. We love Maui, it's our favorite vacation spot. We bought this condo to enjoy ourselves and to share with friends, ohana, and you.
Why they chose this property
We bought at the Vista because we love sunny Kihei, the grounds are beautiful, the cost to buy and consequently to rent to you was reasonable, and the beaches are oh so close. We are lucky to have an excellent AOAO manager, security is very good (and very quiet at night), and there's plenty of free parking.
What makes this property unique
Unique benefits? We are welcoming you into our home and provide for your needs with this in mind. You will be comfortable and feel like you are coming home at the end of your glorious Maui day.
