// About the Property //

Maalaea Kai is a tranquil oceanfront condo complex situated on Maui's picturesque Maalaea Bay. This charming property offers spacious one- and two-bedroom units with private lanais, fully equipped kitchens, and stunning views of the ocean and Haleakalā.

Located near Maalaea Harbor, the Maui Ocean Center, and central to both South and West Maui, Maalaea Kai is an ideal choice for a peaceful and convenient island retreat.

// About the Area //

Maalaea is one of Maui's best-kept secrets - centrally located between Kihei, Lahaina, and the airport, yet tucked away from the crowds.

Guests love the balance of convenience and quiet, making it an ideal home base for exploring the island.

Maalaea is also home to the legendary surf break “Freight Trains,” considered by many to be the fastest right-hand wave in the world. While it only breaks under specific swell conditions, its presence gives Maalaea a unique status in surf culture and adds to the dynamic energy of the area.

With easy access to snorkeling tours, whale watching, and upcountry excursions, Maalaea offers an unbeatable mix of adventure and serenity. Whether you're seeking a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a convenient launch point for island exploration, Maalaea provides an authentic and unforgettable Maui experience.

One of the most beautiful water views

This condo has one of the most beautiful water views in the Maalaea area. You can watch surfers catch rolling waves from your lanai, as well as watch boats come and go from Maalaea harbor. The complex is well maintained, and the grounds are spotless. We also liked the fact that the condo has just the right amount of furnishings. Lastly, there's a Starbucks within walking distance, so we didn't miss our morning lattes.

Great stay

Everything is great in this condo. The only negative is the peeler was pretty dull and I couldn’t find a lid that for the food storage containers other than that it was very nice. So not much bad to say indeed.

Hands down Best Place to Stay in Maui

The location was perfect to explore, with equal distances to West and East Maui, and close to airport. The condo was extremely well stuffed and clean, and nothing can beat the view from the patio!

Low key vacation spot!

This spot has an amazing view in a very quiet community. Perfect for laying low and enjoying vacation life. Super easy drive to many of the "main" spots on the island. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great View and Location

My husband and I enjoyed staying here, the view is great and the condo was always nice and cool. We spent plenty of time on the Lanai watching surfers, turtles etc. Would definitely stay here again. We were within a 40 min drive from almost everything we wanted to do on the island.

Amazing views and great hospitality

The overall experience was great, everything was clean and the check in process was super easy. The AC worked great it was nice to always have a parking spot ready to go without having to look for one. I think the best part was the little extras they have waiting for us like chocolates and beach stuff ready to use if we wanted to.

Wonderful Choice

The condo was perfect in terms of the view and location on the island. Everything was as described. The kitchen is lacking some basic items that most VRBO‘s have (such as salt and pepper and some sort of cooking oil), but that was truly the only disappointment. The management company was very responsive to requests with an immediate response and willingness to help. I would stay here again without question.

Perfect location

We stayed for 8 days and completely enjoyed our stay. The unit was perfect. The ocean view with the patio was amazing. There is a small beach close by but to get a bigger beach is about .5 mile away but a very nice wide open beach with hardly any people. This is a more windy location but it does help keep the heat down with an ocean breeze. It is also close to the harbor so we took several tours within walking distance.
