About this property

5 STAR OCEANFRONT—FANTASTIC VIEW & AMENITIES—Newly Renovated Kitchen, Living Rm

Guests rave about their stay at our condo. Pictures cannot fully convey the peaceful, positive energy of this special unit. Please check out the YouTube video at the end of the slideshow for the view from the lanai balcony. We are dedicated to ensuring our guests have a wonderful time.

We do not charge a damage deposit. Cleaning costs are $180 and per booking plus a $50 admin fee.

VRBO/HomeAway will not allow us to specify the number of guests as two adults and two children—so we are forced to put down that we host 4 people. The suite is a 1 bedroom condo with a comfortable queen size pull out sofa.

We DO NOT require any damage deposit—we never charge for broken things or swim gear that does not make it back from the beach. Accidents happen, and you should be able to use our condo and our swim gear with full enjoyment—not always fearful of a damage charge. All we ask is to simply let us know so we can replace the item for our next guests.

Yes, our Condo UNIT ITSELF is actual OCEANFRONT.

Ocean WAVES crash just BELOW LANAI—60 Ft.—Located RIGHT ON Maalaea Bay, Maui, Hawaii, USA. Convenient Central Maui, 20 minutes from Kahului Airport, Kihei, or Lahaina.

Accommodation is a second-floor condominium that sleeps 4. One bedroom with a queen-size bed, and the beautiful living room couch is a convertible, queen-sized sofa bed. One full bath.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
QUICK SUMMARY OF ATTRIBUTES:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have come to the right spot to enjoy the VERY BEST OF MAUI. Our Maalaea Bay Home is very desirable:
* Oceanfront with the waves beneath the lanai.
* Central location – close to the airport in Kahului, Wailuku, Kihei, and Lahaina
* On a quiet, low-traffic, peaceful street (aptly named 'Hauoli'—meaning happy or delightful)
* Adjoins a 700-acre wetland that is a preserved National Wildlife Refuge; supports a diverse variety of migratory birds, featuring four miles of undeveloped, sandy, uncrowded beach
* DUCTED AIR conditioning to BOTH living room and bedroom with remote control for separate temperatures in each room—unlike most others advertised, which are merely 'window shaker' A/C units
* Largest pool in Maalaea—now passively heated via rooftop circulation of pool water
* Free WIRELESS BROADBAND INTERNET—work inside or outside
* Cable TV with dozens of channels
* Free long distance calls to the mainland—both USA & Canada
* Bushnell binoculars for whale watching or stargazing

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILED BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will have the peaceful sound of the ocean crashing ashore from your fully-equipped, lighted lanai; a restful sound that resonates throughout the spacious living and dining areas. You will breathe in the gorgeous unobstructed daytime view of all of Maalaea Bay, Molokini crater crescent, Kihei, and Mount Haleakala. Stunning sunrises over Mount Haleakala (for those few willing to get up at that hour, it is worth it).

The evenings are just as special; enjoy the soft romance of warm breezes, the tiki-torch-lit shoreline, the sight of a CLEAR MOON-RISE over majestic Mount Haleakala, the light shimmering across the bay.

You will appreciate this one-of-a-kind location. This condo is on the one and only residential street in Ma’alaea Harbor. Enjoy strolling down this quiet tree-lined sidewalk, listening to the birds, and inhaling the delicate fragrance of plumeria blossoms.

At the end of the road is Haycraft Park, just a short walk from the condo. This is where you will either enjoy swimming in sparkling clear waters or start your walk along four miles of beautiful, uncrowded, sandy beach bordering the Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. The walk from our condo to the park is 1/4 mile walk; or you can drive since there is a small lot at the park.

The wildlife refuge was established in 1992 and is home to endangered native water birds, and hosts migratory ducks and shorebirds in fall, winter, and spring. This refuge provides 700 acres of some of the last remaining natural wetland habitat in the State of Hawaii. Kealia Pond is nearly 250 acres when full. The refuge is adjacent to Kealia Beach, which is a nesting ground for the endangered hawksbill turtle.

More than 31 species of birds, such as the endangered Hawaiian stilt and coot, and migrant waterfowl and shorebirds such as the Pacific golden plover use this refuge. You can approach the refuge from your walk along the ocean, or use the roadway to access an interpretive kiosk and boardwalk along the beach and refuge mudflats.

In summer months, the Refuge Pond shrinks, and many more shorebirds congregate here to take advantage of food exposed as the pond recedes. As the pond shrinks, fish are crowded into the remaining water, making them easy prey for black-crowned, night herons.

Another advantage of the CENTRAL LOCATION OF MAALAEA BAY is the proximity of so many attractions, all within easy walking distance. You can stroll to the nearby FIVE-STAR restaurants, the Maui Ocean Center and Aquarium, the Yacht Marina with tour boats for deep-sea fishing and whale watching tours, The Pacific Whale Foundation, and the Maalaea Harbor Village shops and restaurants.

Within the Maalaea Bay community of ten condominiums, Maalaea Kai, the building of Our Ma'alaea Home, stands out as an outstanding facility with well-groomed grounds. Barbecue is a delightful experience, with three grills and dining area just on the shoreline. Relax in the large heated pool, while enjoying the view of the crashing waves.

You will find everything spotlessly clean and completely furnished for all of your needs.

The AIR CONDITIONING is ducted from outside to BOTH the front and rear of our condominium, with INDIVIDUAL REMOTE CONTROLS for each room, affording desired, quiet comfort. FREE BROADBAND Internet plug-in cable hookup is provided.

We have maintained our home as a SMOKE-FREE, pet-free environment for the enjoyment of our guests. Please do not smoke on the lanai inasmuch as the smoke travels to other units. There is no smoking on any of the grounds.

Excellent Location!
This is a bit of an older unit so If you’re looking for an updated condo- this may not be the place for you. With that being said let me tell you ALL the pros! You are right on the water and if it’s whale season like it was for us there’s no need to book a whale watch.. they are right there in the bay. Gwen even provides binoculars! For anyone concerned about the mattress reviews, please note that there was a brand new firm mattress in place when we arrived! Another thing to note is you have a reserved parking spot.. this is such a luxury. We did come home once to a worker parking in it but they moved without an issue. The biggest pro for us was the location. Being central made it easy to get around and do everything we wanted. I also want to mention communication- Gwen always responds quickly which gives you the feeling of security knowing if you have any problems she will be on it right away.

Wonderful location. Bathroom needs updating and the tv was difficult to use, but otherwise was a nice place to stay.

Great View
Lovely condo right in the water. Sit on the balcony and watch the waves, sunset, sunrise, stars. Turtles in the morning in the rocks right off the property. Well equipped kitchen with ice maker. Beach towels, chairs, cooler. Nice pool and short walk to a beach. There is a good breeze if you open the bedroom window and balcony sliding door. AC works well. Items to note: the condo is directly under the flight path, so you’ll hear a lot of airplanes. This is the windiest part of the island, but did not bother us. Bathroom could use an update. Not near much, so expect to drive for restaurants, groceries etc. TV is quite small. As others mentioned, the bed could use an update. A bed in a box would be a big improvement.

Good for a budget vacation
PROS: The view - oceanfront so the constant sound of the waves is soothing. One of the most gorgeous views to wake up to that we have ever experienced! Quiet - never once were we disturbed by other guests, traffic, or crowds. Location - about a five-minute walk to the harbor, Maui Ocean Center, the nearest beach and a small local grocer that serves a very decent breakfast and lunch. Grounds - beautiful landscaping, nice pool, laundry facilities and grill area. We even saw numerous turtles at the sea wall! CONS: TV - It takes three remotes and a page full of instructions to operate the tv. And we boomers never could figure it out so my husband did without football for the week. A/C - it is loud! The unit on the lanai sounds like an airplane taking off and after a while, it is annoying. Bed - needs a new mattress and when I stripped the linens upon check-out, we saw many stains on the mattress. Cleanliness - the entire unit needs a top to bottom cleaning and a fresh paint job. We had a few issues and the owner was very quick to send someone to take care of it. OVERALL: I would definitely stay here again. It is very budget friendly. You'll understand what I mean when you venture down to Wailea/Makena area. So if you don't want to spend a fortune on accommodations, this is a great place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Gwen Randall-Young

Host profile image
I am a psychologist in private practice. To learn more about me you can search Gwen Randall-Young, psychologist.

Gwen has her psychology practice in Alberta--and while she generates her audio recordings, articles and books in Alberta, much of her inspiration is drawn from the dose of spiritual refreshing she enjoys during each visit to our peaceful paradise getaway. I trust that my condo--and your experiences here--will work their magic on you as well.

Why they chose this property

We loved this peaceful, quiet setting--away from the tourists who crowd the better-known areas such as Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kihei, Wailea, and so forth. And yet, with this panoramic view and four miles of undeveloped beach nearby, we are peacefully isolated on a dead-end road just a short walk away to a park that adjoins a wildlife refuge that is your upland 'development' all the way to Sugar Beach. Very few on our beaches, other than the locals, who use the park on weekends and vacations.

Maybe best of all, our condo unit is TRULY OCEANFRONT--a strong arm could toss a rock from our lanai into the ocean. Who could ask for more?

When you see us on the map, you can see how easy it is to get out and about on the island. We are close to the main highway, yet tucked away on a dead-end road with no traffic.

What makes this property unique

Plus, Maalaea Kai has a greater percentage of owner-occupied units, which means fewer crowds doing the tourist thing. Our land is owned by our owners, unlike many other condos on our roadway (e.g. the two buildings on either side of us) where the condo unit 'owners' must pay rent each month to the land owner. Bottom-line of this is that we, as owners at Maalaea Kai, are much more likely to vote to put money into building & grounds improvements and maintenance. Hence, our building is in top shape, and likewise for our grounds.
