Dream your most desired vacation. Then come to magical Maui, one of the world’s most elite vacation destinations. How better to experience our island than by renting from an owner who has combined her own personal getaway with the conveniences of home and the leisurely delights of a vacation in the sun. Renting from the owner allows you to enjoy private home amenities while avoiding the congestion of resorts and hotels.
My home is located on lovely Ma’alaea Bay, wintertime sanctuary to many humpback whales and their calves. A favorite pastime of residents is reclining on a lounger watching the antics of our oceanic friends.
Just to the west of us is Ma’alaea Marina, home to many yachts and touring boats and the Ma’alaea Village shops. Off to the east is the long sandy span of Sugar Beach, perfect for early morning beach walking. Several good eateries are located within walking distance including one of Maui’s top award winning seafood restaurants, The Waterfront.
The Waterfront is one of Maui’s top award-winning seafood restaurants. The renowned Maui Ocean Center aquarium is only steps away. All in all, this central location is within easy reach of the sights and attractions of Maui.
My condo at the Ma’alaea Kai is an oceanfront walkout. Newly renovated, it embraces the ambiance of the islands with the luxury and comfort of a perfect vacation getaway. Both pool and grilling area are only steps from the lanai against the backdrop of the ocean views and the sounds of the waves and the breezes in the palm trees.
I would love to share my getaway with you. It gives me great pleasure to have others experience the exquisite gem that is Maui. Its setting, its rain forests, mountains, beaches, upcountry adventures, and the underwater world to explore, make Maui truly magical.
You dream it, Maui has it!!

Exceptional

Everything about this property is just what we hoped for. The condo was by clean, the kitchen was well stocked, communication with the owner was exceptional, location was peaceful and relaxing. We would highly recommend.
Just steps from the grill area and the pool with wonderful views of the bay and Haleakala. This location is pure perfection. Access is very easy. The place is incredibly well stocked and ten minutes after unpacking, we were truly "home away from hime".
The condo, grounds and views of the bay were wonderful. A Kona Low storm pounded Maui. We felt lucky to be in the condo as we hunkered down for two whole days. Flash floods and downed trees and electric lines closed popular spots. Our lanai stayed dry. we saw whales from there.The place was well equipped, binoculars, BBQ grills, even books to read.
Thank you so much for helping our honeymoon be as great as it was. On top of everything that was beautiful, having a great place to stay really helped us warm into Hawaii!
This is a beautiful property inside and out…it met all our expectations. The property owner was pleasant to work with and clearly communicated all details. We’d definitely stay there again!!

Barbara’s place was absolutely amazing! It was a great location if you want the quieter side of Maui (which we did!) with gorgeous views right from the patio. The condo came with all the typical amenities, but also came with those extra touches (beach towels, mineral sunscreen, cooler) that made it just perfect. The AC kept the bedroom cool for sleeping, and the breeze through the front and back doors kept the condo cool in the morning and evenings. LOVED this place so much and would stay again for sure!
Wonderful property but the bed was very uncomfortable.

I appreciate your reveiw. I will definitely checkout the bed the next time we are there. Probably time to replace it. This is my first complaint about it and I take it seriously. Thank you!
What a great space, beautiful views, centrally located, and with lots of thoughtful touches.

Ocean front, spectacular view. Very private. Very comfortable and exactly as seen in photos!
This property is accurately described and photographed. It is incredibly well equipped, the position of it is fantastic and location central for everywhere on the island, yet it is quiet. We ate in a lot as the kitchen has everything you need and the views from the patio are fantastic, you can actually see the whales whilst eating. Totally relaxing.
Lovely Lovely appointed condo. Welcoming, comfortable and amazingly well supplied.Communication with owner was always prompt, warm, and efficient. We found that after previous visits to Maui and always being on 2-4 level, we totally enjoyed being on the ground level!! Highly recommend! Mahalo and Aloha
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. Our first night we met really nice neighbors who gave us a list of must sees. We booked a snorkel trip prior to our stay and it was within walking distance. We also walked to the aquarium, market and food trucks. The location is fantastic! We had a great time!!

Beautiful Luxurious relaxing
I had never stayed in Maalea before but found it very peaceful & low key as compared to other parts of Maui. The condo was “perfection “ thoughtfully decorated & updated luxury. The owner has gone to great lengths to make sure it was a dream vacation. I hope to stay again in the future & highly recommend Barbara’s condo.

Wow! Thank you for your wonderful review....it very much appreciated
When we arrived, we were impressed by the condo being so comfortable and well thought out. Super well organized and well kept. Breakfast on the lanai is spectacular and memorable, as Ma’alaea Bay and Haleakala are directly in front. Everything was as promised and when we return to Maui, this will be the first condo we check for availability.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Olson
Aloha, I started my career as a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines in 1972 and after 37 years I am retired. Maui was my favorite destination and it still is. I was fortunate to have had the ability to fly there numerous times a year to escape the Minneasota winters. Sharing my home away from home on wonderful Maui is a joy to me. I hope I hear from you soon.
