About this property

MauiJOY Villa -Heaven on Earth ~PRIVATE Estate OCEAN Views, Swimming pool.

A PRIVATE ESTATE where you will experience Comfort, Ease, Quality, Carefree, Private, Relaxing, Heaven on Earth. Our permit number is BBKM 2014/0004.
We believe in the Malama Hawaii program where visitors are respected as Ohana "family" and they in turn respect the aina (place) and it's people as Ohana.

We are Fully air-conditioned! Each room has it's own controls.
Located on a half an acre of land, adjacent to thousands of undeveloped acres and above the hustle and bustle of the resorts of Wailea, including The Four Seasons, The Grand Wailea with many great restaurants nearby, The MauiJOY Villa has a 180 degree ocean views of three islands, with a large private swimming pool.
The luch tropical landscaping provides privacy, allowing our guests to go clothing optional.

This is the perfect Private Spa getaway as only ONE party can reserve this property at a time, so when you reserve the MauiJOY Villa, (Heaven on Earth) you will have the privacy of the pool to yourselves. (The pool can be completely enclosed with a removable security fence for toddlers).
Two large Bedrooms, each is equipped with king sized very comfortable bed with premium linens. Each bedroom has light and sound blocking curtains too in case the birds are too loud for you.
The second master bath, with granite counter top, jacuzzi tub, also has a walk-in tiled shower accommodated for senior.

(We can add a single futon or full sized baby crib and Travel Evanflo Deluxe Suite Koi that rolling play pen in either of the bedrooms.)
Both bedrooms have tropical garden views with cool breezes that come in from the top of Haleakala (The islands dormant volcano that rises above Maui at 10,023 ft.)

There is a very large outdoor shower beneath the banana trees where you can shower off after the beach or swim in the pool or like some of our guests perfer to use it only.

There are beautiful ocean views from the living area and dining/kitchen areas.
Everything you need to enjoy a stress free vacation is here, from your morning smoothie using the latest Vitamixer, the large four burner barbecue, dishes, premium linens, luxury bathrobes, beach chairs/towels, free high speed wifi internet and free movies using our streaming services Hulu, Pandora, Amazon Prime.
(We love kids so have little chairs, beach toys, games, floats, umbrellas and a portable high chair)

The Kitchenette/TV/Sitting room has a large refrigerator, a washer /dryer and 40' Smart Flat Screen TV and is located off pool side for your convience while using the barbecue.

The MauiJOY Villa has been a favorite spa retreat for two couples to share and families with children. The kids love the pool!
Our favorite massage therapist will bring her table and you can get a relaxing massage poolside or beneath the mango tree in the lower gardens. There is a massage table located in the guest suite bedroom for your use.

The MauiJOY Villa has breathtaking views of the ocean and full South Western night skies. Lush tropical landscaping affords property privacy. The lower garden, also with ocean views, is a perfect meditation or yoga/pilates spot, and there are also various organic fruit trees including Mango, Papaya, Guava, Strawberry Guava, Tangerines, Oranges and Passion fruit vines for your morning smoothies.

There are many love birds I have rescued that visit our feeder along with finch, sparrow, and two species of cardinals, to name a few. If you enjoy bird watching, this is a good spot for that too. In fact, love birds who fly freely in our gardens may even stop to say 'aloha'. Our Axis deer actually "bark" and you may hear/see them on the adjacent vacant land.

Sit by your private pool and watch the whales play from December to May. You can actually watch them from the lanai (we have binoculars, however you may want to bring your own for boat trips) and the activity can be seen from here.

We have our own drinking water filters in the kitchens so no need to buy plastic water bottles, We encourage you to bring your re-fillable water bottles.
We have plenty of shopping bags/ cooler bags for your use.

The County of Maui is now discouraging any type of sunscreen that is NOT labled "reef safe" as our corals are being affected by the ingredients in sunscreen.
We do recycle as much as possible here too with recycling bins.

New Year's eve is spectacular with views of the resort fireworks as well.
Many house guest have called this 'Heaven on Earth' and we are so grateful to be here on
Maui No Ka Oi.
We, (MauiJOY and staff), invite you to spend your time with us to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy our sanctuary. Away from the crowded resorts, your private mini resort.
Please let us know of any special request and we will do our best to make this your best vacation ever!
Mahalo Nui Loa for your kokua,
MauiJOY Teri

Little Slice of Heaven

We just returned from a 2 week stay at Maui Joy. The property was BEAUTIFUL. We were specifically looking for a little seclusion and privacy, but everything we wanted or needed was close by, so it was a great location. Teri was always there when we needed anything and very quick to respond, before and during our trip. A big thank you to Teri for sharing your beautiful home with us! We truly had a great time and couldn’t have asked for more to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary!

Great way to end the year

Stay was great and the perfect way for my wife and in-laws to spend the last two weeks of 2023. The house has two comfortable bedrooms and the grounds are beautiful. The owner keeps a birdfeeder stocked up and the birds are beautiful and wonderful to listen to while soaking up paradise. Location is great to get to great beaches and Kihei or Wailea.

Wonderful week

My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at MauiJoy. We really enjoyed the grounds, including the pool, the beautiful flowers, fruit trees, and plants, lizards, etc. The home had everything we needed and then some. The beds were comfortable, and the A/C units worked well to keep us cool at night. We loved the quiet location away from the busy tourist areas but close enough that a short drive took us to the beaches, restaurants, and shops.

"Heaven on Earth" Indeed!

Perfect spot for our whole family of six! SO glad that we decided to stay here instead of trying to squeeze into a resort room. The views were OUT OF THIS WORLD! The pictures do not do it justice. Teri was pleasant and accommodating, responding promptly with any question or need we had. You will NOT regret booking your stay here. Can't wait to go back!!

Maui Joy finally!

After 2 Covid-19 reschedules, we finally got to Maui Joy. What a place! Great accommodations, great views, fresh cut bananas, and a special landlord Teri! We thoroughly enjoyed our week of pool, sun, and excursions. Teri was very knowledgeable of the area and provided good information on where to go for groceries, restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. We truly enjoyed the week and would definitely return to Maui Joy for another vacation.

Amazing Stay Above Wailea

Stayed here with my family of 4. Could not be happier! Loved having our own pool to play in day or night, the jacuzzi tub, the multitude of birds and lizards that kept everyone entertained, the fresh bananas and mangoes, grill, games, the list goes on and on. Once settled we rarely had to travel out, except to collect groceries and go on little day trips. Big beach is only a short drive away and local snorkeling is awesome. When we’re back on Maui, we’ll be sure to return to Maui Joy!!

Amazing view, beautiful home and location is perfect!

What an amazing vacation we had! Our family loves Maui and to find such a special hidden Gem of a home to enjoy while we were there was so special. The home is so relaxing, clean and has everything you will need for your stay. The pool and very was absolutely what we were looking for. My teens prefer having the pool to ourselves and being able to relax. The flowers, gardens, trees and birds really helped you enjoy the tropical surroundings. Thank you to the owner for making this stay so special. We will be back!

Aptly named - MauJoy! We'll be back.

This was our fifth time in Maui and we wanted to try something new and different than a condo complex.What a great decision and wonderful time at the MauiJOY.! So relaxing to have our own lovely pool and lanai and the wide open views. The hospitality was great and Teri was always helpful and fun to be with. Feels like we made a friend as well as found a great place to stay. Here's the proof - we've booked for almost three weeks next year and already looking forward to our return visit. Bruce & Janice from Alberta Canada Mahalo Teri!

Stunning luxury in the Aloha Way

What a magical spot! I have stayed in Maui Meadows many times and this was by far my best experience! Teri has created a true Hawaiian experience with all the beauty you would hope to find living on Maui. The views are amazing, the home is comfortable and clean and easy to move right into! Fruit trees everywhere, gorgeous love birds singing to you daily and the pool is perfect.It over looks the Pacific with full views of Molokini and Kahoolawe with the magnificent Haleakala in the background! Much Ma-halo Teri and Ahui-Ho

Best vacation house we have ever had!!

Mauijoy was absolutely amazing!! We would recommend this place to our closes family and friends and to anyone who is looking for a peaceful place to be with family. This place beats any hotel and resort by a landslide and we are so happy that we chose this over anything else. If you are looking for a place to be with your family, private swimming pool, nature at your doorstep, various Hawaiian fruit trees, and being close to beaches, then this is the place you should be at. The drive to the beach was about 5 minutes away. So convenient. Terri was also a very nice host and easily approachable. She gave us tips on where to visit that only the locals know about. This turned out to be one of our best family vacations mainly because of this MauiJoy villa! We will definitely be returning!

MauiJoy

We had a great time staying at MauiJoy! Teri, (host/owner) is so thoughtful and helpful. Gave us tons of advice well in advance so we could make reservations at popular spots in time. This is thus far the best VRBO we have stayed at in terms of ensuring every possible thing we could need was already on site at the house for our stay apart from groceries. And the views! Watching whales with our binoculars frolic in the Pacific was amazing. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Location is perfect. Short drive to beaches, restaurants, shopping etc. New Year’s fireworks watched from pool deck/lanai were fantastic. Rented full house which allowed each teenager (3) to have own bed (one was sofa bed in living room). Can’t wait to go back! Definitely 5 stars!

Extended stay in Maui

Mahalo for a wonderful opportunity to stay in your abode. A warm Aloha greeting with leis greeted us upon arrival. ( something we don't see in our vacation club stays ) Your home was private, warm, and inviting offering all the conveniences of home. We didn't need anything except for coffee, ice cream and some groceries. What an awesome treat to experience living Maui in a mountain side neighborhood. The pool and views of the water were heaven. Conveniences to Wailea and Kihei providing treats to local foods and sights made the time pass even faster. Monkeypod, shaved ice, fat daddys and more provided fabulous food enjoyment. You can't go wrong with Terri's home to recharge your batteries.

Peaceful Paradise

Maui Joy Villa made our vacation absolutely perfect! When we weren't out exploring the island, shopping, or snorkeling, This beautiful house was a relaxing respite from all our activities. It was exceptionally clean and well appointed with everything we could possibly have needed. The lushness of the gardens were truly a wonderful and constant background to this gem of an oasis. And the views? All I can say is, how can you beat views of the mountains behind, and the ocean in front?!?! Teri was always there, answering any questions we had, quickly and thoroughly. And all the little daily things she did, such as leaving fresh mangos for us, meant a lot! Teri's home is a true oasis. My husband, 16 year old daughter and her cousin stayed. The girls absolutely loved it at Maui Joy and on the island of Maui. We all enjoyed ten days of pure bliss, staying at the Maui Joy Villa!

Good house; overbearing owner

We rented both bedrooms of this house. The pool was great and the views were fantastic. The owner had a pack and play for our one year old and purchased a booster seat during our stay. These are all the positives. The negatives, for us, far out weighted any positives. The owner continually intruded in our enjoyment of the property. We would be sitting by the pool and she would appear. One day she entered the property we had rented from her to turn off the air conditioning. She sleeps in her office which is the front room of this house. She is extremely intrusive. I told her she should take the property off of vrbo and put it on other sites where people expect constant interaction with the owner. I have rented through vrbo for the last fifteen years. I have never had such an intrusive owner in all my one hundred rentals. I hope this review is a warning for all potential renters. She will be a big part of your reality if you rent her place. If you are like us and want to rent a home for only your pleasure, this house is not for you.

Living the Hawaiian Dream

The first half of our trip we stayed at a high-end rental home in Lahaina. We spent the second half in Kihei at Heaven on Earth/Teri’s place. So our first rental was very nice but felt a little sterile to me. I think my daughter summarized the difference between the two very succinctly. She said the first place felt like we were “visiting Maui.” Teri’s place felt like we were “LIVING Maui.” Being up on a hill, the views, sunsets and evening stars will take your breath away…the birds sing happily all day long and the abundant fruit trees and flowers overwhelm the senses. The pool/lanai were enjoyed daily. We loved the new hot/cold outdoor shower as well. And the mangoes we picked were so sweet, juicy and tastes slightly of coconut—so yummy! Our stay was comfortable and our host Teri was warm, friendly & nearly always available- so much so that we joked about being soul sisters….we all loved our time here, felt like no one else was around (extremely private) and truly felt like heaven on Earth. I’d love to move to Maui someday ( big dream I know) and have a slice of heaven just like Teri’s. It’s been a couple of days since we left Maui…I feel this huge emptiness inside, missing the serenity, peace and wholeness I felt while staying at Teri’s place….I am eager to return soon. Already. Thank you, Teri, for sharing your home, stories and recommendations… and for you sharing your love and care with us all

Our Home Away From Home

Upon arriving on the property, we instantly were greeted by the chirping of many different species of birds. The yard is covered in beautiful vibrant colored plants and flowers. We booked the whole home, as two families were staying, and it was perfect. There was enough room where we felt we had enough privacy between families. My family consisted of 2 adults and 2 children, ages 2 and 4, we were placed in the master bedroom that connects to another room with a kitchenette and bathroom. In the smaller room with the kitchenette, Teri, so thoughtfully, converted the futon into a bed and set up a queen sized inflatable mattress for them, which they would swap every other night, for fun. The other family consisted of 2 adults and a one-year-old, who comfortably stayed in a large bedroom with a crib. The kitchen was stocked with many spices and seasonings, that we really didn't need to purchase many others. There were kitchen gadgets and tools galore. Staying on the property, you can really see the effort made by Teri in making guests feel as comfortable as possible. My husband, who has a hard time sleeping at places other than his home, was surprised at how comfortable he was and was able to rest at night. I enjoyed the cozy robes, after a nice shower, and the large selection of books Teri has. It was always the perfect end to my evening. The swimming pool and the fruit trees in the garden were the cherries on top, at the property. We were fortunate enough to taste a few mangoes from the tree, since most were not ripe yet. DELICIOUS! This place was truly our home away from home and I pray we will return again someday.

Perfect Covid Getaway

Our family of 5 was able to negotiate the Covid hoops and stayed here during the week of Thanksgiving. The best way to summarize our experience with this house is that instead of heading down to the beach, my wife and 2 of our kids preferred stay and play in the pool and enjoy the amazing views from the lanai (patio) instead of going to the beach on all but one day while we were there. The property location is perfect with just a short drive to Kihei and Wailea for groceries or to have food delivered. While the rest of our family relaxed at the pool, my son and I could pop down to Kihei to rent gear and do some shore diving (Ulua Beach ~7 min.; Mekena Landing ~10 min.) and easily be back for lunch. The property's expansive views (my wife's favorite feature of the house) are amazing and a perfect location for morning coffee or evening sundowners. From the top lanai and pool area you can see all the way from West Maui, Lanai and down to Molokini (the latter being slightly obscured by neighbor's trees). Behind and below the pool, which is just off the lanai, is a large tree covered yard with even more impressive views of Molikini and Kaho'olawe. The pool itself was a bit chilly but once in you got used to it quickly. The house has a large amount of pool toys and floaties too. The lanai has a large table, nice lighting, couch/chairs/coffee table and lounge seating. There's also a large clean gas grill and grilling utinsels which we used several times. Additionally Teri, the owner, puts out bird feed every morning and we could sit and watch love birds, java sparrows, cardinals and many others throughout the day. We even saw a mongoose sneaking up on the birds. The house itself was perfect for our family of 5, with my teenage daughter having her own studio with futon, bathroom, larger tv and kitchenette (unused). You can get to this connected apartment through one of the bedrooms or an entrance from the patio. The main house has two rooms with kings, and an open plan living room (with small tv and pull out couch) , dining room and kitchen. The dining room has great views, though we ate outside on the large patio table almost exclusively. The kitchen and bathroom were extremely well stocked. There are plenty of books and card/board games available. Teri was excellent, not obtrusive at all, and ensured we had everything we needed. She also graciously allowed us to stay a few hours past checkout because of our late flight. Highly Recommended!

Exceptional Rental and Host

Your host Teri is rated as a Premier host and deservedly so. She was so helpful from the day we booked and throughout our entire stay. We contacted her source to have the house stocked with everything we needed when we arrived and we settled into Aloha immediately. Teri is also an amazing woman to get to know should you care to engage in conversation with her. Having said that, she respects your privacy and will communicate via text, checking on anything you might need or you can text her with any questions. We left having felt like we made a new friend. My wife and I wanted to find the perfect place to celebrate our 50th anniversary and Maui Joy was the bulls eye. Knowing this, Teri had a bouquet of beautiful fresh local exotic flowers to welcome us and kept them fresh the entire stay, even adding to them. The house is as shown in the pictures; there were no unexpected surprises. The house is well appointed with everything we needed to settle in. The outdoor living space is spectacular and we spent the majority of our time outdoors, either at or in the pool, sitting at the comfortable covered living space overlooking the pool or the lower yard which provided great late afternoon shade shade and the perfect place for cocktail hour. Exceptional dining is a short drive away as are great beaches. She has all the beach gear, no need to rent. With a stocked fridge, music, bathroom etc, we spent several days home around the pool. Aloha prevailed! Yes, we will return to Aloha!

About the host

Hosted by MauiJOY

Host profile image
Aloha Guests,
After flying around the world, staying in first-class hotels, teaching first class service and being in the customer service industry for many years, The MauiJOY Villa received 100% unanimous approval vote at a Public Hearing in front of the Maui Planning Commission. Our permit number is BBKM 2014/0004
I extend the Island of Maui's 'Aloha' to you.
I am MauiJOY because I have lived on Maui (over 30 years!) and have been called 'JOY' in many of the Happiness classes I have taken. I am MauiJOY on backgammon sites as it is one of my favorite games to play.
I am the owner and State of Hawaii licensed broker of my own small company in real estate called, International Real Estate Services, LLC.
Traveling on my own, I have gone around the world visiting many places including Japan, Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India, (Burma), Nepal, Myanmar, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, South America, Europe and South America. So much to see and do yet Maui is my home sweet home and I would love to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this home because it is very private, it's spectacular ocean views and location away from everything yet close enough to get to it all including Resorts, golf, restaurants, shopping and the best beaches in the world in less than 5 minutes by car. (We are up a hill so that is why I say "car".) Too steep after being at the beach! LOL

The views are probably the best in the area as the location is on the edge of the neighborhood with thousands of acres of vacant land adjacent to the lower gardens.
It's quiet, with peaceful tranquility and a place to truly relax and let go. Maui County noise ordinances are very strict. No noise after 9PM to 8AM.

What makes this property unique

VERY PRIVATE ESTATE Beautiful large outdoor beneath the banana trees
Clothing Optional areas.

Would you like to pamper yourselves with a private chef, massages poolside, aromatherapy, 10-day detoxing, private consierge services? Just let me know.

Happy to arrange for a private boat (whale watch), concert tickets and will do our best to help to create the vacation you have painted in your mind and heart.

You may not want to leave the MauiJOY Villa as the large swimming pool overlooks the vast ocean from the West Maui Mountains, across to the island of Lana'i, Molokini Crater, Kahoolawe and up to Haleakala.
The lower gardens have quiet places for you to meditate, exercise and yes, we have a Pavillion where you can enjoy a romantic dinner or just a nice snooze in the afternoon.
There are few street lights in this area providing the most amazing views of the vast night sky. We have a green uplight just above the driveway so you will know where to pull in at night.
The views of the Milky Way are brilliant! I use "Sky Guide" app as we can see and learn so much about our universe. I also have a telescope!
The full moon reflecting in the pool provides romantic lighting while the fragrant flowers fill the air with their perfume. Yes, this is paradise and it can be yours.
I look forward to your visit,
Mahalo Nui Loa,
MauiJOY Teri
