Welcome to Our Little Slice of Oceanfront Paradise!

Aloha! Welcome to our wonderful oceanfront Condo perfectly situated in Maalaea just 15 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Kihei and 25 minutes from Lahaina!

In the early evenings the turtles frequently come to the rock wall to feed, and at night you can watch the Kihei lights twinkling in the distance across the Bay!

Great location for the south side of Maui
We had a great stay here. The place was just as advertised. This was our first VRBO style rental ever. It was clean. The host had great documentation that made it easy on us newbs. The balcony overlooked the ocean just like the pictures. The other residents we met were friendly. The building’s amenities were well maintained. It sits right in the middle of south Maui. 20 min one way is Wailea 20 min the other is Lahaina. Plenty of beaches within 10 min with decent snorkeling and if the weather is cooperating some surfing. Could not ask for a better first VRBO experience.

This property was in a great central location which was perfect for exploring Maui. Mark was easy to get a hold of when we had questions and the property was very clean. The view from the patio was incredible. We would highly recommend this property.

Clean! Beautiful view! Great location!
This is a beautiful condo! Very clean! The airconditioner panel does not work so you must use the remote control. We could not find the remote and reached out to the owner. Mark and Celine quickly answered and helped us find it. The remote really needs to be looked at because it wasn't working too well. But we were able to get it to work and the a/c worked very well!!! There were 2 of us staying in the unit. We were given 1 bath towel each and 1 beach towel each. I would suggest giving at least 2 per person in the future. Anyone who chooses to stay here will be very happy they did!! Great location, well stocked unit, and very clean!! Thank you for sharing your place with others!!!

I liked being on the water, but it was an experience for 4 to 5 days with extreme wind. Whistling through the front door was annoying. Perhaps better weatherstrip or a new door would eliminate the whistle. Otherwise it was a nice visit without too many pool users, another source of noise.

Clean property but not convenient
This property is very clean and well managed . Whereas I will give 3 star for not desirable location wise , very hot , ac is very old and small . So works only in living room , it is not enough to cool the bedroom and we couldn’t sleep for entire duration of our stay . Pillows were too high and hard plus bed is not comfortable. Moreover we were working remotely and WiFi constantly drops which make it hard to work .

No view
Stayed in the area before, like the location. We booked the property for the beautiful ocean view, however our view was blocked from the scaffolding. The construction crew started drilling and working in our patio area at about 8am. Also, the bedroom did not have AC only ceiling fan and the room was pretty warm. Also never found pillow cases or sheets for the couch bed. Fortunately only stayed 1 night.

Great for 2 older travelers only
The apartment itself was nice. Location was good if you want to prepare your own meals, anytime after 5pm. Unfortunately, the toilet was not equipped to handle 4 grown adults. The water ran constantly and was quite annoying. The apartment complex is all older residents, I would not suggest this property to anyone younger than 50 and defiantly not kid-friendly.

Nice views and friendly people.
The pictures and write up for this place was bang on. The beach walks were great and a very peaceful area on Maui. One thing that could of made it even better would be more amenities in the area. We did a lot of driving to other locations on island for other activities, shopping, restaurants and beaches. It was a good central location for a starting point. Mark was very available and helpful when we contacted him. Thanks Mark and Celine!

Nice location
The apartment is exactly as described. The location is convenient to most places in Maui. There is not a lot in the immediate neighborhood (though the marina where many whale and snorkeling boats leave from is a three minute walk) but that made it more relaxing. You can hear the ocean (and see it) from the apartment. Very pleasant.

Lovely condo with an amazing view
Our flight was delayed so we arrived late at night. We could see the condo was clean and well equipped (of all the place I’ve stayed on Maui this was the only one with a kitchen actually outfitted to use), but outside was just black. Then we woke up to a gorgeous view of Maalaea harbor. My son shouted, “What is that?!” There was a humpback breaching just outside the jetty.

Highly recommend!
Property was exactly as listed! We absolutely loved the location—it’s right in the middle of the island so you have easy access to pretty much anything you might want to do. The condo was clean, quiet, and very safe feeling. Just a short walk from the beach park down the street. The owners have also left several amenities for your usage, such as snorkeling gear and beach chairs. We would definitely stay here again!

Harbor condo
Even though there was only 2 of us occupying the condo we chose to sleep in the living room on the pull out sofa, because that’s where the AC was. The owner told me there would be linens available, but there wasn’t. Also, the condo was very difficult to access for us old folks. Luckily the manager was there to help us.

Family with teens exploring Maui
This was a great location for exploring the island. Easy to get anywhere. Nice quiet nights. My son loved seeing the planes fly over. We could see turtles right from the balcony. The pool and small beach were a great advantage to walk to when we got home from a day around the island. The kitchen was well-stocked. The owner communicated very well and made for a great, easy stay.

Great condo.
i wanted to this location because it's outside the hustle of Kihei, but still central. I was disappointed that the general store was closed due to Covid, but there is a small convenience store in the adjacent building that supplied some things only during daylight hours. We shopped elsewhere and cooked our meals in the well equipped kitchen, saving money and eating like kings. I would stay here again.

We live in the Bay Area, absolutely love Maui, and have wanted to own a vacation home there for years. We purchased and renovated our condo in 2018 and are very proud of how it now looks! We look forward to spending many happy days in our new home away from home, and hope you enjoy it as much as we have so far!
