Romantic Maui Getaway, 25' from the Ocean ~ Relax with the Sun, Wind and Waves
One of the best condos in Maui (with the reviews to prove it)! (Hawaii Tax ID: TA-113-583-7184-01)
Additional 10% off in April, that's on top of the 10% discounted last minute price!
TL;DR description:
- 25 feet from the ocean with an almost 180 degree view. - Air Conditioner plus a ceiling fan - High End Sterns & Foster King Mattress - Many amenities for a perfect vacation: cooler, beach towels, umbrella, chairs, games, books, DVDs, and a guitar, if you go in for such things. :-) - and in the kitchen: microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle, juicer, rice cooker, oven, full sized fridge, high end pans, etc. - Super fast internet, if you _have_ to work - Sofa bed - Zoned for a hotel, so you can book with confidence it'll be available regardless of any of the pending short-term rental legislation (unlikely to pass, but there are some folks trying to ban STRs in apartment zones).
Hi! I'm Jim Tierney and I stay here a couple months a year, so it's important the condo is kept in great shape. Both for myself and my guests. I'm constantly updating the condo. For example, I added a King bed last year, and added new art, a kitchen backsplash and replaced the old window with a new double pane window this year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
The only fee I charge is a $150 cleaning fee (which goes to the cleaner), there are no management, resort, or whatever fees that you'll have to pay me. Tax and the fee VRBO charges you for using the platform I have no control over.
The beautiful pacific ocean is 25 ft away from your lanai! Listen to the waves and see the stunning views of Lanai and Molokai. During whale season, you can see whales all day long. The condo itself is designed as something I would expect from an upscale Maui resort. So it's very well appointed and very comfortable. Including a high end Sterns & Foster King mattress! A vacation condo should feel like home and, at the same time, somewhere special. That special place that you look forward to returning to.
I've put a lot of work into the place and care a lot about the condo and your experience in it. You can see that reflected in the reviews! :-)
Also, check out the beautiful, custom shower! Finally got around to remodeling the shower and it came out amazing. All slate, river rock, and quartzite. I'm stoked about it and you will be too. :-)
While the ocean is 25 feet away, there is not a sandy beach in front of the property. However, there are some good beaches within easy walking distance. (see the photos)
I keep my calendar updated. If it says condo is available, it is. I know it's frustrating when you see an available condo and it's just due to folks not updating their calendars.
Key Amenities: Air Conditioner, high-end King mattress, free reserved parking, wired/wireless super fast internet (250mb down/20mb up), flat screen TV, remodeled kitchen, remodeled shower, and lots of small amenities like a hair dryer in the bathroom and juicer in the kitchen.
Check out the Google Map below with some great recommendations for eating and activities. See the video for the view off of the lanai.
I figure there's two things people want from a Maui vacation... 1) to see and hear the ocean from their lanai and 2) to get some sleep. :-) As for the ocean, the condo is 25 feet away from the ocean so you can sit on the lanai and watch the waves crash into the sea wall or the sun set over the wide pacific and disappear behind Molokai. When it comes to sleeping I'm pretty particular about the mattress I sleep on, so it was important to find a good mattress that rivaled what I expect from an upscale hotel. It's amazingly comfortable and I think you'll find it's wonderful to listen to the waves as you drift off to sleep.
It's a wonderful, luxurious space that will give you everything you want from a Maui vacation. I look forward to having you experience it for yourself.
If you're into cooking, the kitchen has been completely remodeled with granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. You have all the cookware necessary for a complete meal and then some. The dishes, glassware, and tableware are all beautiful and will make having dinner on the lanai at sunset feel like a 5 star restaurant. You are also a couple minutes away from a market that specializes in local and organic foods, if you're looking for fresh ingredients.
There's also a brand new air conditioner, which is not common in vacation rentals.
Of course, there's the usual stuff, 32' flatscreen TV with DVD and cable, high speed internet with WiFi, speakers to plug an iPod into, hair dryer, small library of DVDs, and even a desk to write postcards on or check email (not that you'd be doing that on your vacation). There's also stuff like beach chairs, a boogie board, snorkel equipment, and beach towels. The couch becomes a queen sized, Simmons sofa bed to accomodate kids or another adult. This IS a sofa bed. It's a nice one, but like all sofa beds it's not the paragon of comfort, especially for adults.
There are two pools. However, this is a residential condo complex (meaning folks live here year round) so the pools aren't resort quality. There are no waterslides, bars, spa, lifeguards, or attendants handing you towels. They are nice, clean pools, but more modest than you'd find in a resort. Of course, the condo has pool/beach towels for your use and it's easy enough to mix up your own drinks in the blender. :-) There's also a couple day spas a short distance away.
There's a grassy area directly in front with a gas BBQ, tables, and chaise lounges. You're one block from restaurants and shopping. It's an excellent central location to go north to Kapalua or south to Kaanapali.
The condo is non-smoking and is on the second floor, up one flight of stairs.
Cancellation policy: you can cancel 45 days or more and get a full refund. 30-45 days out, you just lose the deposit. So it's less strict than what VRBO shows, but I can't customize that. Also, if I can rebook the dates I will also give you a full refund, regardless of when you cancel.

Perfect oceanfront location with everything we needed for our stay. The bed is very comfortable, the appliances are plentiful, the shower terrific. The condo is within walking distance to some good restaurants. Beaches are close by and are free. The host has thought of everything to make our stay excellent.
We absolutely loved this condo. It’s very clean, updated, very comfortable, had absolutely everything we need and more. We made meals in the condo and grilled, too. Jim provided so much information pre-trip to help us plan. Charlie, the property manager, was very responsive to our questions. The bed is very comfortable, which is important to me since I have a permanent back injury. The condo is decorated beautifully, and its location is very convenient. We watched sunsets, whales and surfers from the lanai. We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thank you, Jim!
Kitchen had a lot of the nice little extras along with being fully equipped. View is amazing and having breakfast and dinner out on the lanai was wonderful. Did see whales breaching and flying fish as a plus. Really nice beaches short drive away. Bed super comfortable. Office space for connecting laptop to large screen was great.
The beach view from the lanai was incredible, breathtaking! The host was so informative with a lengthy email providing detailed information about all of the condo amenities and local area suggestions. The condo was equipped with everything we needed, including beach chairs, umbrella, firm pillows along with soft pillow options, comfortable bed, beautiful, easy to access shower, lovely art to admire, and a telescope. We hope to be back and will definitely recommend this condo to our friends.
Nice studio with amenities. Parking can be a bit tricky. You will need a rental car with this location.

Hi John, Glad you enjoyed the condo! Not sure why you felt parking was tricky. There's a reserved spot about 30 feet from the condo. So parking should be pretty easy. In general, you need a car on Maui. It's very spread out, so you're pretty limited if you don't have a car unless you stay in a big resort and only leave the resort to go on tours. I highly recommend a car as it greatly expands the restaurants you can go to and things you can do. Mahalo Jim
This trip, we didn’t want the hustle and bustle of a hotel or the crowd. We started and ended every day on the lanai. Every day we spotted sea turtles and dolphins. It was a calm, quiet spot that was still close to anything we could need.

The sea turtles are there every day around high tide, so they're basically residents. But you can also see eagle rays occasionally, so keep your eyes open for them next time. I love rays, they're so beautiful to watch gliding through the water.
Great place to relax and enjoy the spectacular sunset views every evening from the patio. Great location and amenities.

I'm pretty sure I have 10,000 photos of the view off the balcony. Always just a bit different and always beautiful. Glad you enjoyed it as much as I do! Thanks for staying!
The view is gorgeous, the bed is cozy, all the amenities you need plus some extras. Really can't get better location for price than this! Gorgeous beaches are just a short drive away. Not overly touristy feeling or busy. Felt like home, so cozy. The art in the place is really cool to!Plus, the owner is super communicative with detailed emails with recommendations and helpful tips before your stay! The 'on-island contact' is friendly and very helpful as well! Our honeymoon stay here was everything we hoped for and more - and if we are fortunate enough to come back to Maui, this will be the place I try to book! Highly recommend.

thanks Jessica, so glad you had a wonderful Maui honeymoon! Looking forward to having you back. :-)
The lanai was close to the water exactly like we wanted. The unit was close to our favorite beach as well. The unit while not fancy was comfortable and reasonably well maintained. We would stay here again.
Perfect location next to famous beaches and resorts, yet calm and quiet. Well stocked. Did not need AC, cool winds and whale watching right from the balcony. Will go back! Excellent communication.
We really enjoyed our stay!! The sunsets viewed from the lanai were awesome! The bed was very comfortable, nice towels and fully equipped kitchen. We really appreciated being able to use the beach chairs and umbrella. This place was perfect for our needs.
The view is amazing, the location very great, near grocery, restaurant and general store. The hote is very helpful to suggest near beaches and good restaurant. I highly recommend this place.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this condo as part of our Maui vacation. The location and environment is excellent.
The condo was very nice, exactly as advertised, with beautiful ocean views and comfortably furnished.
I would recommend this property as a great place for couples.

Great place, literally right on the ocean. The view is amazing and mostly all you hear is just the sounds of the wind and the waves. Very relaxing and the condo itself is very well equipped. We'll be back!
Pictures and descriptions of this place are spot on. Older unit but has some nice upgrades including nice bed, kitchen and shower. Loved mornings and sunsets on the lanai including seeing whales. Sure, it’s not a resort, but wife enjoyed the pool and we got a million dollar view for a week at about what you’ll pay for a night or 2 at the Ritz just up the road! (And we were closer to the water.) On the last night we were discussing how quickly we could get back :-)

About the host
Hosted by Jim
Hi, I'm Jim Tierney. I live most of the year in San Francisco and escape to Maui whenever I get tired of the foggy weather. I run a small software company and have the good fortune of being able to work anywhere there's an internet connection. Luckily that's the case with Maui, so whenever I get an urge for whale watching, diving, or laying in the sun it's no problem coming over. I love diving and the diving in Maui is spectacular, there are some really beautiful spots. I also have a passion for photography, particularly whales and outdoor scenes, so you'll see some of my work on the walls of the unit.
I hope you'll check out my place. I put a lot of work into it making sure it was a livable space for when I'm there. So I think the standards I have for the condo is much higher than most rental units.
Why they chose this property
I bought this because I'll be there about 3 months of the year and I wanted something on the ocean. A friend of mine lives in the same building so I was very familiar with the property and all it offered (ok, so mostly it offered the ocean about 20 feet way :-). It's amazing to watch the sun set during the summer, see the whales during the winter, and listen to the waves all year long.
What makes this property unique
A wonderful view (did I mention you're 25 feet from the ocean :-), a high-end, very comfortable bed, a full kitchen, and air conditioning.
