Peaceful location with beautiful ocean views!

Our family stayed here for 10 wonderful nights. We enjoyed listening to the ocean out the lanai and our bedroom windows. The kids loved the boogie boards that were provided. We really appreciated the lawn chairs and ice chests as well. If you are looking for an oceanfront condo without the hustle of all the resorts this is where you want to be! We would highly recommend this place and would definitely love to come back.

This renter was extremely difficult. Please compare to our other reviews who love our place. Renter arrived and called me at 2am because she incorrectly input numbers on door code. Finally she did code a third time and it worked. Renter broke our window shade pulling it down too hard. Sat in and broke our bedroom sitting chair along with staining it and tearing it. Renter created many stains on our carpet throughout condo. Didn't like the mattresses on our beds. Didn't like the couch as it was too hard. Constantly complained and texted me because she didn't like things in our condo. In fact there are no major repairs needed. We have had to file an insurance claim for damage this renter did to our condo. Renter did not say anything about any repairs that needed to be done. Our rental agreement indicates to contact me immediately. Renter now decides to post here on major repairs.

The property is located so that both western coasts were easily reachable, as well as being close to nice beach park and marina. Property was very clean with everything you need for cooking. Beds were great for a family of 4 and the living area was comfortable. Nice views and close enough to the airport.

So many whales

We found another great location in Maui in Ma’alea bay. Easy drive to many things. I loved our ability to watch so much whale activity. The condo was dated but very clean. The residents in the condominium were very friendly. I will say the tone of the owner was off-putting before we arrived but they were responsive once we arrived. Also, the listed rent on the VRBO website changed to a higher rate once I requested the dates.

Thanks for your review. I'm glad you had a great time. Yes our condo is all about location location location as you experienced seeing the whales and turtles all the time out our balcony overlooking the ocean :) The condo you mentioned is dated but it is listed and described in the VRBO listing as a "retro" condo when you look to book. We do love the carpet and our furnishings we personally decorated with. When you say off putting I presume you are referring to the mandatory screening questions we asked you before you could book our condo. It is our second home and not all renters are allowed to rent it. By screening questions we find it helps keep our home cherished and kept up. We have had it listed to anyone but that proved to be damaging to our condo with some destroying it and partying there. Now we now ask mandatory screening questions before booking. The VRBO website is geared to changed prices during high season with the parameters I put in. It changes automatically depending on the date. You must book immediately to retain the rate. If days or weeks go on before you book or pay then this automatic price rate changes at times and especially during high season. I hope that clears all up. We welcome your return one day :)

Chill and relax

This is a wonderful vacation retreat. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked with the essentials. The size was good for our group of four.The views were beautiful. We watched the whales, the sunrise over Haleakala and the green sea turtles. The outdoor grilling area is great. The ocean is right there! Maalaea Bay is a prefect spot to stay. It is quite and right at the harbor. In our opinion it is a hidden gem. Yes, you do get some trade winds but this condo is centrally located. You are in the middle of things, you can take a trip to Wailea or Kaanapali or just enjoy the pool and condo. We truly enjoyed this lovely spot and would highly recommend it. Aloha

Hidden Gem

If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing environment, conveniently located-but not super touristy- look no further! This condo really made our trip fantastic! The view is beautiful and proximity to the ocean is just perfect- waking up with the sun rising over Haleakala, and the waves lulling us to sleep at night, you really cant beat it! It is in a bit of a wind pocket- but it helps with the heat and humidity. The property is well maintained and everyone is very nice- especially Lynn- who went above and beyond to make sure an issue was fixed before our visit; despite the quick turnaround from the previous guests. Overall- 5/5 stars from us- we will definitely be back! Mahalo Lynn -Michaela, Mike and Patti

Nice Condo, Convenient location

We usually stay in West Maui, but since we were booking on relatively short notice (about a month out) the options in West Maui were few and very high priced. We decide on this property because it was reasonably priced and conveniently located to access all parts of Maui. The condo property itself is very well maintained and pretty. It has great views of Kihei and Maalaea Bay. The condo itself is dated, but that shouldn't be a surprise as the pictures definitely show you what you are getting. I struggled on how to rate this property overall because although the condo is dated and it doesn't have air conditioning (all of which is shown and stated upfront) it was clean, quiet, convenient, had lovely views, and communication with owners was easy and they were quick to respond...which makes me lean towards giving it a 5. Just know it's not a 5 star property, but 5 stars in the sense of you get what is pictured for a reasonable price, will have great views and a clean place to stay. I would have no problem staying there again during cooler weather temps. During higher temps I would definitely prefer something with an AC.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Thanks for that review Jana! During summer it does get hot; but with the front door open with the heavy duty locking screen closed and the back patio screen open the lovely tradewinds come through. And a dip in the pool right below is a great cool off. We do plan to eventually get an air conditioner for those Summer renters in July & August. The best attribute is our location and view of the ocean and turtles right out in front! Location location location! Aloha!

About the host

Hosted by Robin Longchamps

Host profile image
We are the original owners and have cherished this condo for over four decades, continuously caring for it with love. It’s more than just a vacation rental – it’s our little slice of heaven and we’re honored to share it with guests who appreciate its charm and spirit as we do. We hope it brings you as much joy and relaxation as it has brought our family over the years.

Why they chose this property

PRIME LOCATION. Unbeatable views, whale watching from balcony, steps from beaches, marina, aquarium and centrally located to both spectacular sides of the island. We are in Maalaea—Wailuku, a sleepy quiet area for your enjoyment to “refresh” and relax. Definitely not full of crowded tourists.

Enjoy a panoramic view of the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the iconic Molokini Crater, a volcanic islet known for some of the best snorkeling excursions in Maui. Whether you're whale watching (in season), soaking in views of the majestic West Maui Mountains, or spotting sea turtles right at the edge of our rocky beach, the natural beauty here is unforgettable.

Our condo is perfectly located within walking distance to:

Sugar Beach – a long, serene stretch of sandy shoreline from Maalaea all the way to Kihei; perfect for morning walks, a beach day, swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, floating, snorkeling, beach-combing, peaceful sunrises and spectacular sunset colored skies. We’ve seen monk seals and turtles beached here.

Maui Ocean Center Aquarium.

Famous local restaurants and cafes.

The Maalaea Harbor Marina – offering ocean excursions such as whale watching on a comfy boat with narration from captain, fishing charters, snorkeling adventures, pupu (appetizers)/cocktails, dinner, and sunset cruises, catamaran to the island Lanai for the day, watch the fishing boats come in with the fish catches of the day.
