About this property

View whales from modern Top floor Oceanfront condo. Maalaea, Haleakala sunrise!!

Recently remodeled. New everything! New flooring throughout. New Beautiful Hawaiian Bedroom King set with a firm Beauty-rest mattress bed with custom closets. New A/C. This place is great for honeymooners with the ocean making waves every night.

To get your attention Hawaii is expensive. The locals say it’s the price of paradise. But at this place you can save on extras. On this Listing there are no parking fees, no expensive resort fees, no valet fees, no beach chair/umbrella rental fees, ++ free use of boogie boards and swim goggles, snorkeling gear, and no tipping the staff. Eating a few meals in the fully equipped kitchen instead of eating out all the time saves time. You will definitely save on that.

Extended stay savings are offered!! Stay 10 days 10% off entire stay= to 1 night free. Stay 20 days equal to 2 nights free. Stay 30 days with a bigger discount with 4 nights free!!!!

With over 40 reviews... all are 100% five star reviews. This place is different!!. It's not just a hotel room in Maui. It's a place to come home to and truly enjoy this modern vacation home. It is very well stocked with all the things you will need for your holiday from kitchen supplies to beach equipment. No need to go to turtle town, the the turtles are right out front!! You can watch the boats going out to sea in the morning from the Ma'alalea harbor. You'll will see whales in the winter off your own lanai, wake up a bit early to see to sunrises off the peaks of Haleakala, and at the end of the day enjoy sipping on a cocktail on the lanai and romanticize the amazing moons over the ocean with city lights of South Maui. You will like the cozy bedroom and the clean comfortable bed and modern bathroom.


Bathroom has been made into Spa like atmosphere….New Shower design, Heated towel rack, Ladies and Europeans love the Custom Bidet toilet. Lighted anti fog mirrors, Apothecare CARE body wash, shampoos and conditioners. Even some spare items if you forgot your toothpaste.

Kitchen has been remodeled with new granite countertops. All new Samsung appliances throughout. Including the Samsung wash/dryer tower that can steam your wrinkled clothes from traveling.

Safety is very important, your unique keyless lock code to the condo is yours only. It’s activated the day you arrive and all codes are deleted after checkout. No one can enter except you. Plus recently added a Sentry Safe for your jewelry, passports and all that important stuff.

Also if you are staying for awhile you can receive/send mail or other correspondences unlike most other Airbnb’s or hotels. Plus super fast internet 500 mb down. The fastest on the island. So you can work from here if needed. But why work when Maui is so great?

Living room has a extra large 75" Samsung Frame Art HDTV. Spectrum cable... extra channels ...with DVR, Netflix, HBO, Hulu and Disney channel subscriptions are all complementary... Brand new Queen sofa bed.

Unusual floating ceiling with LED lighting around all rooms. You can set romantic lighting in any room.


From the kitchen, living room and lanai you will have open sunny ocean and Haleakala mountain views. As well as a large lanai looking out towards Wailea and Makena. Enjoy the strolls down the longest white sandy beaches on Maui starting at Haycraft Park.

The central location of the Milowai condominium is 15 minutes from the Kahului OGG airport and is set between Lahaina and Kihei, making it one of the most convenient locations on the island. The condo is located in a tiny town called Ma’alaea, away from the hustle and bustle of other parts of Maui. If you’re thinking about staying in Kaanapali don’t forget there’s basically only one way and in and out of that area. The Highway is one lane each way with a 35 to 45 mph limit with very little passing zones and lots of traffic making it difficult to travel to and from that area. Your going to want to see all of Maui. It's not convenient from Kaanapali. The Milowai condominium is also located very close to the Ma’alaea Harbor, where there is shopping, restaurants, bars, a tour center, and the Maui Ocean Aquarium. This is where most of the tours take out of since the Lahaina fire.

Ma’alaea Bay is known for its winter arrival of humpback whales in Maui. When the boats leave Ma’alaea Harbor they almost immediately see whales. And that harbor is right next door. As a matter of fact there are more whale sightings in Maui then any other island. November to March is whale season, and peaking in abundance of display in mid February.


In the summer months, May to September, we get the south swell. Waves can be 10 feet plus. Milowai is located right in front of one of the fastest surfs in the world. The surfing spot is known as the freight train because of its speed. You can surf right out front or just watch the action from the lani.

I personally feel you will love every room in this condo. From the cozy bedroom with its new bed and the fresh sheets, the modern clean high tech bathroom, the living room with its entertainment, the kitchen that any cook would love due it its spacious granite countertops and equipment, and lastly the lani that is so comfortable with its unbelievable day and night time views and ocean sounds.

Perfect vacation!

This condo has it all! Rick has thought of everything you might need for an amazing stay at his condo. But, y’all, the views can’t be beat. We sat on the balcony and watched countless whales in the harbor every day of our trip. To get a closer look at the humpbacks, we walked over to the marina for a whale watching cruise. The shops at the marina were also great for a few meals, especially Point Break for pizza and salad. It was truly a perfect vacation.

Our honeymoon stay

Rick’s rental could not have been better. A wonderful central location, a beautiful view, and thoughtful details made this one of our favorite stays of all time. From the binoculars to see the whales and honus every morning, to the phone charger in the bedside table, he has truly thought of everything. We are so thrilled to have been able to stay here for our honeymoon, we can’t recommend it enough. Thank you Rick!

Great Maui Getaway

What a great stay! We were first timers in Maui, so the central location of this property was a big plus. We felt we were just minutes from about any location we wanted to visit. The condo was clean, updated, and well appointed. Even a nice bottle of spirits and fresh fruit/snacks upon arrival. So many turtles on the property as well! No complaints from us, and would highly recommend this property to others! Thanks for a great week on the island!

This is the second time I have stayed at this Property and will stay again in the future! The condo is beautiful and incredibly well equipped. The ocean view is amazing and I saw turtles and whales everyday from my lanai. Rick the manager is incredibly helpful, prompt to reply and extremely knowledgeable and kind. He was always available to help with what ever you needed. The area is very convenient to everything and the property is very quiet and private.

Great place to stay

This was our first trip to Hawaii. We stayed here 11 days and had a great stay. The condo was very clean and equipped better than any place we have stayed. We loved to sit out on the balcony and look at the ocean. All new appliances. Having washer and dryer was great. Beach chairs, towels and boogie boards were in the condo. Very easy access to any part of the island . Small beach at the end of the street. Rick was very responsive and checked on us several times during our stay. The rental was great and we would certainly stay there again.

Great central location! Although we love the kaanapali area, this was excellent. During our stay, there were two car accidents on the highway past Maalaea to Lahaina , which backed up traffic all the way almost to Kahului. Once we were backed up for two hours and we only were going to Maalaea, 3 hours later we looked out our condo back door to see if traffic was cleared and it was still backed up. Beautiful, clean, property. Rick was very friendly and always available if we had questions. We’ll be back

Winter Getaway

Great vacation spot. We are all about relaxing on vacation. We had a beautiful ocean view to watch whales breaching all day. We saw turtles in the morning and evening in the shallow water. Walking distance to a beach. Walking distance to harbor for exploring by boat. Convenient location on the island to explore north or south as well. Underground parking was convenient and felt safe. Home was clean, recently remodeled, and kitchen had all you needed for cooking in. Rick was easy to contact. Check-in was simple, even after an all day travel and nighttime arrival. Two travelers were a perfect number for this place. I think any more would feel cramped. Definitely give this place a 5 star rating.

Maui 2022

The condo was absolutely perfect. I was initially a bit hesitant about staying in the Ma'alaea area as have always stayed in the Kaanapali area but ended up loving the location as was central to everything and the area was quiet. The ocean front lanai was beautiful and we saw whales, dolphins and sea turtles. The condo itself was very well equipped and the bed was new and very comfortable which is something I haven't found with a lot of my other VRBO rentals. The manager Rick was a gem and was very responsive to any requests or questions. He provided a beautiful welcome basket in the condo for our arrival which started off our vacation on a high note. I would absolutely stay here again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Viebahn

Host profile image
I live in Maui and love its beauty. You can ask me for directions anything about Maui. I know a lot of beaches, where to rent mopeds, stuff like that. I want you to have an excellent time in Maui Paradise. I try to make your visit personal and exceptional.

Why they chose this property

You can be one of the first to enjoy this property. New linens, new towels, new bedroom set and mattress, new kitchen with beautiful dishes, new bathroom, really new everything inside. I did not spare on the cost or quality on this condo. Months of remodeling and careful planning to make this place a cut above the rest in the building.


From November to April is the whale season the Mahalea Bay of Maui is right out front of this condo... from your balcony...is one of the most visited areas of all of Hawaii for the Humpback whale!!


Beautiful Panoramic Ocean Views with Incredible sunrises over Haleakala mountains.

In the summer time If you are into surfing the "Freight Train world famous fastest surf" is right out front. When the surf is up surfers come from all over the world to surf this tiny spot.

What makes this property unique

Ma'aleaa is not like Kaanapali. It's much more low key, if thats what you are looking for. No big resorts 15 stories high, crowded beaches, no traffic jams. It can take a hour to get to Kaanapali from the airport and always with traffic and frequent road closures. Yet this small village has bars and restaurants within walking distance. The harbor is where a lot of activities start off. The location is great if your planning to explore the whole island because of it central location. Plus it about 15 mins to the airport, 20 mins to Big Makena beach, and 25 mins to Lahaina, and you can walk to the Aquarium.

Sea turtles are out front every day. You can even see them from the balcony. You don't see this really anywhere else on the island as far as I know. They talk about turtle town... but we got one out front. In the winter months whales can be seen from the unit...every day! There are 10,000 whale visitors that come to the Maui bay waters every year!! And the Ma'alaea Bay right out front is known for close in whale watching. Maui is where most of the whales come for winter in Hawaii.
