About this property

IMPECCABLE! LUXURY GROUND FLOOR DIRECT OCEANFRONT. 50' TO THE TURTLE SANCUARY!

“IMMACULATE"..."IMPECCABLE"..."FRESH" One of the most beautiful and luxurious ground floor units in all of Ma'alaea. Full remodel just completed with all brand new designer furniture/appliances/finishes/surfaces/accessories, plus stunning original art paying respect to Maui's rich heritage and emerald colors.

If you're a foodie, you'll love the kitchen as it's outfitted for EVERY imaginable culinary need if you desire cooking your own gourmet meals. (The brand new Euro double-oven induction range is a total joy to cook with.) For your convenience, you'll enjoy your own in-unit washer/dryer, and our assigned parking space is 10 steps to the front door. (No hassling elevators) All-new central A/C, ultra hi-def TV’s, Sonos sound system, wine refer, remote solar shade, beach gear, and of course, high-end coffee and espresso machines. Bottom line: We want to provide you with all the creature comforts of a beautiful oceanfront home so you can feel inspired, relaxed, and totally refreshed.

You'll be staying at the most private end of the famed Maalaea Kai Resort, and only 20 steps from the surf's edge and local sea-turtle sanctuary. We're approximately 200' from our private swimming pool, so instead of hearing kiddie noises, the only sound you hear is the constant surf and tropical breezes passing through the palm trees.

'The Kai' is famous for its golf-green landscaping, stunning Haleakala sunrises, quiet vibe and the perfect central location to every island amenity. (Our guest reviews rave about the location and laid-back Hawaiian vibe). And, were just a short 5-minute walk to either the sugar sands of uncrowded Maalaea Beach or Maalaea Harbor.

We co-own/manage the adjacent ground floor unit (VRBO #1485275) and between our two units, we've been honored with 100% 5-star guest 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.

Last, we offer 100% refunds if you have to cancel *for any reason* up to the day before your arrival...no questions asked.

Mahalo!
John and Trish

Without a doubt this was the best experience we have had with a property and the owner! John was first class in everything he did as well as how his property was ready for us right when we got there! If you are going to visit Maui, you have to consider this place! Clean, comfortable, great location to all of your activities and the views and anmenities are priceless! Event the locals told us that we were staying in a great place based on location to all of our scheduled activities. John was the best and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

Honu Heaven

"Honu Heaven"...because we visited with the sea turtles every day...just a few steps from our doorstep! This lovely condo has EVERYTHING you could possibly need or want during your stay in Maui...spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. A great cup of coffee to enjoy the morning light on the ocean...and the perfect ocean view to enjoy your evening glass of wine or dinner. You are literally "one" with the ocean in this beautiful spot! A very gracious host who is there to assist with any need or question...it was the perfect vacation spot! I have visited Maui quite a few times in the past...but did not know Ma'alaea Bay. We found it to be a great central location to explore the entire island...and we did just that!!! The condo complex felt very private and and peaceful...and the building and grounds are well-maintained...a realĺy nice alternative to a big, busy sprawling resort. Such a peaceful haven to return to after a busy day of exploring the island. You will have all the sea turtle viewing you could possibly hope for...in their natural and undisturbed environment. Honu heaven...we LOVED it all!!!

A fabulous Christmas vacation

The condo was in a great location and perfectly decorated. John was very responsive with questions and helped me plan a fun little Christmas surprise for my family. We liked being on the ground floor so we could walk in and out of our condo to sit and relax on the chairs right outside or walk along the wall to watch the sea turtles. We also saw whales right from the condo! It was an easy walk to several restaurants and to the beach. We absolutely loved our time in Maui.

Great Stay!

The condo was exactly as pictured-beautiful, very clean and great kitchen with all items one might need. Everything in the place was top notch! A fun perk was being able to walk out the sliding glass doors and off the lanai to the waterfront and see some sea turtles. John was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with- would definitely come back again.

Winter Vacation

My husband and I stayed and our two teen daughters, escaping to Maui from the cold of Minnesota. We absolutely loved the central location to explore Maui!John and Trisha are excellent hosts. The condo was immaculate and had all the extras from beach chairs to reef-safe sunblock to a well-stocked kitchen. We so so appreciated the communication and suggestion of activities from John. They had a wonderful welcome gift waiting for us of coffee and chocolates!We hope to be guests in the future. I highly recommend staying at this condo!!!

Good time

Good property, nice unit with everything we needed for cooking. Turtles swimming in front of the property are amazing. Only feedback: pool has very little shade and this part of the island can be quite windy. Easy to get to other parts of the island, very centrally located.

Not a great experience

We recently departed this unit and throughout our stay we were met with frustration and disappointment during our stay. What was intended to be a peaceful and restorative trip for our family quickly became highly stressful due to a series of preventable issues and the complete absence of property management support. Upon arrival, we were locked out due to a malfunctioning door—stranded with our two young children and several hundred dollars’ worth of groceries. After attempting to contact the owner for two and a half hours, we had no choice but to pack up all of our belongings, relocate to a hotel, unpack, request additional refrigerators for our food, and later repack and return once the issue was resolved. While we appreciate the partial refund to offset that disruption, the overall experience fell far short of what any guest should reasonably expect. Unfortunately, the problems did not stop there. We dealt with a loud water alarm going off and other ongoing maintenance issues. My husband to access the breaker box at least four times during our stay. These were not minor inconveniences—they disrupted our time and added significant stress. Even more concerning, we were expected to take responsibility for these issues and to meet with service personnel during what was supposed to be personal, family time. I wanted to love our stay but unfortunately it fell very short of expectations. A dedicated property manager would have made a huge difference in making any stay better.

Beautiful condo and peaceful in every way

Immaculate condo and streamlined everything! The building and property are well maintained and so peaceful. The interior of the condo is super clean and tastefully decorated. It’s a serene environment all the way around. Sunrises with the turtles, easily 25 turtles a day floating just off the rocks getting their morning feed from the rocks. The pool is lovely, and the location is fantastic. We can’t wait until we can do a return trip! Beds are comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked, and the outdoor gas grills are a short thirty paces from back patio door. We really appreciated the WiFi and the ease of getting checked in and out. This was our best VRBO experience we have ever had. Simply fantastic!

When we were trying to decide where to stay on the island, quietness was on the top of the list. This location was perfect! It was central to everywhere on the island with a therapeutic vibe. The condo is perfectly decorated and we had everything we needed. Upon arrival we saw fresh bouquet of flowers, Hawaiian chocolate and treats, and a bag of native coffee! We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Thank you!

Amazing stay!

This property was amazing. Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Lahaina and Kihei but still close to great restaurants, shopping, and beaches. We enjoyed every morning out on the lanai having coffee and breakfast. We saw more turtles just outside the condo than we did on our snorkeling tour to turtle town. The condo was very clean and spacious for our family of four. Completely updated and renovated. I would recommend this place to anyone. We were very pleased and will return for another stay.

What a view! Amazing condo! Immaculate & clean!

We truly enjoyed our stay Maalaea! John and Trish were amazing hosts! The condo had everything we needed and more. It was so nice to be able to grab a beach chair and a cooler, supplied by the hosts, and take a stroll down the road to the beach. The view was nothing short of fabulous! We loved waking up to seeing Haleakalā and all the fascinating sea turtles. We have never seen so many sea turtles before. The pool was also great, so easy to get to and could always get spot. We actually had the pool to ourselves several times. If we are so lucky to come back, we would stay here for sure! Mahalo!

Do we really have to leave?

Perfect accommodations in Paradise. Super clean, comfortable, with all the necessities and lots of extras. Being on the ground floor with the ocean in your backyard is amazing. It was so nice to have breakfast out on the lanai or just pop out to look at the turtles and breathe in the fresh Island air. The condos location was great for exploring the island and John provided us with an excellent list of restaurants, beaches and adventures. The only negative thing was having to leave when our vacation was over. This is definitely a place I’d recommend to any of my friends visiting Maui in the future.

Fantastic Property

We enjoyed a wonderful 10 day stay with our two university-aged children in February. Highlights: -Ma'alaea is centrally located for exploring Maui. A much quieter and more relaxing area than many tourist zones. -Unit is perfectly situated with stunning views and direct ground floor access out onto the lawn and waterfront - absolutely ideal. -We enjoyed great views of whales and sea turtles right out front every day. -Very tastefully decorated with some lovely original Maui art. -Unit is well equipped with complete kitchen, beach-going supplies, snorkelling kits, boogie boards, etc... -Excellent communications with host from start to finish. -We highly recommend this VRBO.

A Gem in Maalaea

We’re hesitant to speak so highly of this place for fear that others catch on! We’ve stayed in Maalaea a handful of times in the past, but none of the properties compare! Clean, fresh, well-appointed, and comfortable. A great coffee setup, a solidly stocked kitchen, and some convenient tech help make this a perfect home base for exploring all the Maui offers, or simply sitting oceanside, watching the turtles in the lazy glow of sunset. We’ll most certainly stay again!

Paradise in Maui

We had an amazing time at John's condo! The condo was impeccably clean and had absolutely everything you could possibly need from beach chairs to shampoo! John was also remarkably responsive- we had a quick question about the pool key and he got back to us instantly. He was also super accommodating about letting us check out a little bit later since we had a much later flight. The view of the ocean from the condo and lanai is just absolutely breathtaking. We also loved the slower pace at the condo complex compared to being at one of the big resorts. You can always get a chair at the pool or one of the loungers facing the ocean. Can't recommend this condo or John as a host enough-truly a wonderful experience and wishing we were still in Maui!

About the host

Hosted by JOHN

Aloha! My wife Trish and I have lived in the Seattle burbs for 45+ years. We love great food, wine, coffee, anything outdoors, and daring adventures that involve trekking, climbing, cycling, learning. Married 45+ years, loving life and spoiling our 4 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We discovered Maalaea Kai over 40 years ago when traveling with my parents. Now, 'The Kai' is no longer a secret. Once guests stay here, it's where they return. Besides the private, yet friendly vibe, inspiring views, and short/quiet walk to one of the most beautiful sandy beaches, it's THE absolute best location in Maui for easy access to any part of the island.

What makes this property unique

Virtually everything in this unit is brand new with all the accoutrements you would expect in a 5-star hotel at half the price. You'll never forget falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the nearby surf. (A local Maui Realtor recently mentioned one can't sleep closer to the surf without pitching a tent!) In the winter, watch (and HEAR!) the whales breach from your private lanai. Or, just walk 15 steps to the surf's edge and view the sea turtles frolic in their local sanctuary. You'll also find some of the most kind, generous, and genuinely nice neighbors during your stay.
