IMPECCABLY REMODELED GROUND FLOOR OCEANFRONT - 50' FROM THE SEA TURTLE SANCUARY!


*****GUEST ALERT!! WINTER/SPRING 2027 CALENDAR JUST OPENED!*****

“IMMACULATE"...."AMAZING"....."REFRESHING"...."SO CLOSE TO THE TURTLE SANCTUARY!".....are some of the descriptors from our Guest Reviews...

Located directly on beautiful Maalaea Bay, savor stunning sunrises over majestic Haleakala every morning in this newly remodeled and meticulously maintained ground floor unit. Located on the most private corner of the complex with the premium views, and literally 50’ from your lanai to the our famed Sea Turtle sanctuary. With straight-on and direct southerly views to Molokini and constant whale watching all winter, this is truly paradise. No hassling with elevators…just park in your reserved parking spot 20' away and walk straight in the front door! You will also appreciate that our unit is away from the community pool, thus adding to your privacy and solitude.

We recently completed our full remodel, including all new furniture, kitchen/appliances, finest bedding/linens, paint, electronics, wide-plank flooring throughout....so no musty or dirty carpet. We are also one of the few units with both central A/C and our own washer and dryer for your added convenience.

Our exclusive 5-star reviews inspire us to continue in our relentless dedication to insure each and every one of our guests can focus on enjoying their vacation with *fresh*, *sparking clean*, *immaculate*, and comfortable accommodations that evoke a true Aloha spirit.

The beautiful Maalaea Kai complex is renowned for it’s meticulous ‘golf course-type’ landscaping, friendly atmosphere, Tiki Torches, and social time at the BBQ area. (The DCS BBQ’s are the best money can buy). The recently renovated pool and BBQ areas are spotless and a joy to use.
If you crave walking on or swimming in a sandy beach, you’re a few minutes stroll to the unspoiled HAYCRAFT BEACH PARK/MAALAEA BEACH, boasting 3+ MILES of gentle, swimmable sandy beachfront. Maalaea Beach is arguably one of the most beautiful, unspoiled, and surprisingly unused beaches on Maui. (Google it!) Plus, it's located directly across from the beautiful Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. Or, from your unit, take a 3-minute walk in the opposite direction to Maalaea Harbor for a sunset sail, whale watch excursion, snorkeling trip to Molokini, deep-sea fishing, shopping, or visit the nationally acclaimed Maui Ocean Center Aquarium or Seascape Restaurant for a first-class dining experience.

This Unit is perfect for one or two couples, (Brand new King and Queen beds), however we’ve outfitted it with an ultra-high quality sofa-bed w/pillow-top if you need the extra sleeping space.

We also own/manage the adjacent ground floor 2BR/2BA unit (VRBO #2356364) and between our two units, 100% OF OUR GUESTS have provided 5-star reviews. (Many of our repeat guests book both units for larger family gatherings and we invite you to do this as well for a discounted rate) . Yes, we're neatnik-perfectionists, and because we're in the business of giving people *J-O-Y*, we're equally passionate that you have the absolute best Maui experience imaginable when staying in our home.

Once you book, we'll also send you our curated and constantly-updated 'Things to Do/Places to Go' list that covers our latest and highest recommendations on every possible aspect of your visit. Our guests love this and consistently mention this added benefit in their reviews.

**OUR LOCATION/HISTORY**
As visitors to Maui for over 4 decades, we describe Maalaea as the IDEAL location on the island, away from the hustle-bustle of traffic and ‘touristy’ vibe, with an strong emphasis on privacy and quiet, yet super-convenient to any of the places first-time or repeat visitors would want to experience. This special home was previously owned by our parents, who genuinely enjoyed and contributed to the Aloha Spirit of ‘The Kai’ for over 25 years. We are honored to continue their legacy and share this beautiful slice of paradise with you.

Copy and paste this 10 second video link to your browser and savor a most incredible sunrise from our lanai... https://photos.app.goo.gl/BF4xMyY8Zsdcr6KR6

Mahalo! We truly look forward to hosting you for your next getaway to paradise!

John, Trish, Jeff & Bev

The unit was very clean and there was a nice gift basket when we arrived. The kitchen was completely stocked, didn't need anything. We had a question about the air conditioner the first evening and we couldn't figure out the answer, John answered immediately. Loved being right on the beach, we had our 87 year old mother there and it was easy to get around.

Wonderful week in Maui

This condo is very well maintained and equipped. The patio is 50 feet from the seawall with a spectacular view of Maalaea Bay (which was teeming with humpback whales that we could watch from our patio) and Haleakala volcano. The hosts were wonderful and were staying in the condo next door when we arrived. The location is perfect for exploring the island.

Wonderful hosts, great property

We had a fantastic week in Maui. John and Trish were great hosts who never hesitated to answer questions and guide us during our stay. The location is central about half way between Lahaina and Kihei. The bay had amazing vies with whales and turtles right outside. It's not an area with nightlife and bars, but that's not what we were looking for on our trip to Maui. We can't wait to come back.

Merry Maui Christmas

This is an immacculately well kept condo and property in a centrally located area. John has thought of everything you need whether it is heading out to the beach that is a quick 5 mins stroll away or spending a leisurely day grilling and swimming onsite. Everyday we were greeted by sea turtles just 50 yards from the lanai and most days we could see humpback whales swimming offshore. This was one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in and we are already dreaming of our next holiday stay. The whole family enjoyed time spe

Communications with the owners were fabulous - check-in was a breeze, and they even provided a comprehensive list of things to do, restaurant recommendations; they thought of everything!

Peaceful Stay in Paradise

The condo was fabulous and did not disappoint! The view is amazing and so relaxing! It’s in a great quiet location and easily accessible to various spots around the island. We were two couples and we loved having the two bedrooms, beautifully decorated and each having our own bathrooms. The kitchen was fully stocked, though we didn’t cook much as we were out exploring; first visit for our son and we thoroughly enjoyed sharing it with him and his wife! The BEST part of our stay was “coming home to paradise” each evening!

Paradise!

We had an amazing stay. The condo was in the perfect central location in Maui. It had everything we needed and the beds were extremely comfortable. We appreciated the snorkel gear, towels, etc being available for our use. Waking up to that view everyday was everything. We hoped to see whales and our dreams came true! John was wonderful and his list of things to do was very helpful - it was spot on. We will definitely be back. Thank you John and family!

The property is in an ideal location ground level 20 feet from the ocean! Beautiful views of the harbor, Haleakala, Molokini, and more. Multiple turtles right in your back yard, gorgeous sun rises, and sunsets. The beach park 5 minute walk is fantastic. The harbor is 5 minute walk to a great island store, aquarium, pacific whale foundation, and more:) Hosts were great! Highly recommend a stay here. Aloha, Kevin &Sharon

Perfect location, relaxing getaway

The condo was perfect for a weeklong stay with husband and parents. Location was quiet and away from tourist busyness. Walking distance to Maalaea pier and harbor activities and several restaurants. Easy drive to everything else. Walking out the back door to see turtles in the mornings was an unbelievable experience. This house and host were amazing, providing everything we needed and more.

Heavenly as advertised

Seriously enjoyed our stay here. Two teens with us (17, 15) so the pull out was necessary and the kids appreciated the memory foam. Place was super-clean and had everything we needed or wanted. The ground floor unit was awesome being able to step out onto the grass and this building is unique among all in Maalaea with the open area and unobstructed view of the ocean. On top of all of it, John is probably the best host I’ve ever dealt with… super-responsive and incredibly accommodating with the scenario planning around Covid. We will be back!

Wonderful Beachfront Condo

This condo was absolutely perfect for our Maui family vacation (2 adults and 1 teen). The views are spectacular, especially the morning sunrise! It was fun watching the sea turtles just steps from the patio and our son enjoyed the pool. You can't ask for a better location on the island. Easy drive to Lahaina, Kihei, Wailea, Paia, etc. The condo is spacious, clean, and well stocked. Very nicely decorated. The overall property is beautifully kept and quiet. John was a wonderful host and super easy to work with. I would highly recommend this condo and would happily stay here again!
