Ma`alaea Bay is where the whales play and have their babies. Humpback whales can be seen in abundance from your lanai from November through April. If there is a big south swell, the wave off the harbor, "Freight Trains," can be one of the best in the world attracting expert surfers.
Heading south along the sidewalk and past a few condominium resorts is Haycraft Park and Sugar Beach, the longest undeveloped beach on the island. This is a great beach to swim; walk, jog, bird watch, and shell hunt for miles in peace, away from the crowds. The beach is several miles long and eventually connects you to the community of Kihei.

Kealia National Wildlife Refuge and the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary is a short drive away approximately a 5-10 minute drive. There is a Maui Bus stop at Ma`alaea Village, from here you can take the public bus system to almost anywhere on the island.

The main reason for only a 3 star evaluation was the bed old and I woke up with a sore back every morning. Also the couch is old and the front of it is lower than the back and u slowly slide down.

Mahalo nui for your feedback, we're sorry to hear that the furniture was not to your liking. We've shared your thoughts with the owner for her consideration. Take care, aloha!
The property was comfortable and welcoming - truly a great spot to land every day after exploring in all directions on the island. I loved my stay and found the property well appointed and just what I needed!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Central location. Beautiful view. Condo had everything we needed. We did day trips around the island and it was a great location to come home too!

That's perfect! Mahalo nui for the great review, we hope to see you again soon!
The property was nice and cozy with a beautiful view. There was a nice breeze coming through when we'd leave the patio door open. Location was great and convenient. Bed was a bit bouncy but overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Slightly dated, but everything worked fine, good view with whales seen from the porch. Very clean and well organized. We were gone most of the time but it suited us well!! Thank you!

We're glad you had a wonderful vacation! How amazing to see the whales from the porch! We hope to host you again in the future! Aloha!
Cozy, clean and great view. However, the winds were so strong that we couldn't enjoy the outdoor areas. Fully furnished with all you need. Check-in directions said to open both doors for ventilation, but wind was so strong we felt like stuff was flying off the walls.

Thank you for your kind feedback—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, cleanliness, and beautiful ocean view. You’re absolutely right that our ocean-facing units are treated to some strong coastal breezes from time to time! We hope to welcome you back again soon under gentler skies!
IS401 was perfect with ocean and mountain views. It was well stocked in the kitchen from dishes to spices. The people are friendly, and the complex is quiet. You can watch the turtles all day long and never get tired of it. If you're lucky, you may see one resting on the little beach, but please don't disturb. We have stayed at this complex several times and will definitely be back. Thank you Lynn for a great vacation!!

Thank you so much Sherry and welcome back anytime!
401 was so perfect for us! It is in the most convenient location, away from all the hustle and in a quiet little nook where you can just sit and listen to the ocean for hours! We had zero issues so that is a plus! We were worried about only having one window unit coming into vacation. But with the lanai doors and windows open all week, it was no problem at all!! We definitely hope to come back!

Mahalo for such a wonderful review! We love that you enjoyed your time here with us on Maui! Please do come back, a hui hou.....
We spent 8 glorious nights here and they had everything you could possibly need. The location was fantastic and away from the hustle and Bussel. We were able to watch whales from the Lani anytime we were out there. Short drive to the harbor for whale watching/snorkeling/sunset cruises. Lahaina and Kihei were a short drive. The beach takes a short walk to access but they have parking there if you don’t want the 10 minute walk. Ocean center was next to the harbor. We were sad to leave this little piece of heaven but will be back.

Our condo had the absolute most uncomfortable living room furniture I’ve ever had to endure for 8 days!!! I actually had DIS--comfort while sitting on living room couch, chairs!!! Very poor to subject renters to suffer with crap like that. Makes owners look so unprofessional, uncourteous. The presentation of property (condo) very deceiving online. Everything was old, very worn and not something I would have chosen had I actually seen in realistic photos!
Deceiving. Will not trust VRBO in the future.

Mahalo for the feedback you provided on IS 401. We are sorry you didn't find the unit comfortable, though I have to say we have yet to receive a bad review about the furniture in the unit. 401 typically gets really positive reviews. We have passed on your concerns to the owner, though again, we've never had this complaint before. Often times furniture in units is a matter of preference, as we haven't had this complaint before this may be what's happening. In any case, we'll send our spot checker to confirm. We only wish you had let us know when you checked in, we could have helped resolve this situation by perhaps finding something else more to your liking instead of you going through your entire stay in discomfort.
Mahalo and take good care.
Great communication from property management. Very easy check-in/check-out. Keyless entry to condo is super convenient. Condo is great & has a LOT of random stuff...beach stuff, sunscreen, after-sunscreen, seasonings, cooking oil, laundry soap/dryer sheets, water filter pitcher, and a TON of books/literature about Maui & things to do there. A LOT of Hawaiian-themed tchotchkes everywhere...possibly too many, as they take up space you might use to put your belongings, but they are cheerful & cute. The winds are crazy & blow right through from the entrance to the balcony...between the wind & ceiling fans, the unit was always comfortable. (The stairwell is across the hall from the condo & the door will bang LOUDLY if it's not closed tightly...) The pool is small, but was never busy. Lounge chairs are really nice...comfy. The grills are nice & worked great. The unit's assigned parking spot is easily seen from the balcony of the condo, which also has an amazing view of the water...we missed the whales, but saw dolphins playing on most mornings. Our only quasi-complaint is about the pillows...there are quite a few of them, but none are very great to sleep on. We definitely recommend this property as a great place to stay on Maui!

We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation! Mahalo nui for the wonderfully detailed review and the recommendation, we really appreciate it! We hope you come back and see us again soon!
We had a wonderful time staying here. Was old but very well kept. The only slight negative was the air conditioning was in living room and the bedroom was quite warm. Besides that, I would recommend
TL/DR - good spot for a decent price. 4-4.5 stars out of 5. Need to find a way to cool the bedroom better.
Great spot if you’re looking for a central “home base” for island adventures. Condo is well stocked with everything. Wish we would have found or known about all the beach gear in the master bedroom closet. Those chairs would have been very useful. Lots of cool Hawaiian books to read as well.
Building is a little old and needs some work. Doesn’t really affect the stay though. Bedroom is VERY hot to sleep in even with the ceiling fan going. The AC unit cools the living room well but has no effect on the bedroom. Easily 80F in the bedroom at night. There’s a window that can be opened but the screen is broken and people walking in the hallway could easily watch you sleep (super creepy). Screen door to the patio doesn’t slide properly either but didn’t negatively affect the stay.
My wife and I stayed here in March of 2022 for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. Very friendly property manager and easy check-in/out process. Great balcony view and a perfect location on Maui. We will be staying here again for sure! Highly recommend :)

Mahalo for choosing us for your stay, it was wonderful to host you and we hope you come again soon, aloha!
We loved staying at Mary's property. It was beautifully decorated and the view was amazing. We stayed in July and had no issues with the AC as the air outside was cool at night (AC unit is only in the living room). The only issue we had was with the bed, it was large which was nice but it was too hard and not that comfortable. If you like hard beds you may like it, I was still able to sleep but would have preferred a softer bed. We also could not find the dishwasher detergent, I'm sure if we had asked Mary she would have informed us. Also, personal preference but It would have been nice if the living room window had a larger curtain, i think people outside were able to see in at night. You can tell that Mary put a lot of thought in the rental, there was beach gear in the bedroom closet which was a nice surprise!
This property was perfect for my wife and I. It is conveniently located just about in the middle of everything on the island which made sight seeing easy.

Aloha Mike, mahalo for your great review. I am happy that you love the location and you enjoyed your stay! Your last stay was a bit short, looking forward to your next stay with us and hopefully, it will be a bit longer. Stay safe.
On the ocean with very good views from deck. Noice but small pool. Room well equipped but small and narrow, fine for a week though. Had to travel 15-20 minutes to nearest town for shopping.
