About this property

****GUEST ALERT!**** APRIL 21-MAY 1, 2025 DATES JUST OPENED DUE TO MEDICAL CANCELATION.
-----
“IMMACULATE"..."IMPECCABLE"..."FRESH" One of the most beautiful and luxurious ground floor units in all of Ma'alaea. Full remodel just completed with all brand new designer furniture/appliances/finishes/surfaces/accessories, plus stunning original art paying respect to Maui's rich heritage and emerald colors.

If you're a foodie, you'll love the kitchen as it's outfitted for EVERY imaginable culinary need if you desire cooking your own gourmet meals. (The brand new Euro double-oven induction range is a total joy to cook with.) For your convenience, you'll enjoy your own in-unit washer/dryer, and our assigned parking space is 10 steps to the front door. (No hassling elevators) All-new central A/C, ultra hi-def TV’s, Sonos sound system, wine refer, remote solar shade, beach gear, and of course, high-end coffee and espresso machines. Bottom line: We want to provide you with all the creature comforts of a beautiful oceanfront home so you can feel inspired, relaxed, and totally refreshed.

You'll be staying at the most private end of the famed Maalaea Kai Resort, and only 20 steps from the surf's edge and local sea-turtle sanctuary. We're approximately 200' from our private swimming pool, so instead of hearing kiddie noises, the only sound you hear is the constant surf and tropical breezes passing through the palm trees.

'The Kai' is famous for its golf-green landscaping, stunning Haleakala sunrises, quiet vibe and the perfect central location to every island amenity. (Our guest reviews rave about the location and laid-back Hawaiian vibe). And, were just a short 5-minute walk to either the sugar sands of uncrowded Maalaea Beach or Maalaea Harbor.

We co-own/manage the adjacent ground floor unit (VRBO #1485275) and between our two units, we've been honored with 100% 5-star guest reviews. (Many of our repeat guests book both units for larger family gatherings and we invite you to do this as well for a discounted rate) .

Yes, we're neatnik-perfectionists, and because we're in the business of giving people J-O-Y, we're equally passionate that you have the absolute best Maui experience imaginable when staying in our home.

Last, we offer 100% refunds if you have to cancel *for any reason* up to the day before your arrival...no questions asked.

Mahalo!
John and Trish

Beautiful Stay in Paradise!

Amazing property just steps from the ocean and all the sea turtles and whales you could watch. Incredibly responsive owner/host and unit was as well-appointed as any we've ever stayed in with VRBO. Quite literally had everything we needed -- extra toilet paper, yoga mat, great beach chairs and towels, remarkable kitchen, etc. Check-in was incredibly easy and the unit was clean with everything working perfectly. We're frequent VRBO guests and have never had a property live up to, and beyond, everything we expected -- until this one! And we loved the quieter south side of Maui with a convenient drive to great restaurants and beaches at Wailea.

Winter Vacation

My husband and I stayed and our two teen daughters, escaping to Maui from the cold of Minnesota. We absolutely loved the central location to explore Maui!John and Trisha are excellent hosts. The condo was immaculate and had all the extras from beach chairs to reef-safe sunblock to a well-stocked kitchen. We so so appreciated the communication and suggestion of activities from John. They had a wonderful welcome gift waiting for us of coffee and chocolates!We hope to be guests in the future. I highly recommend staying at this condo!!!

A fabulous Christmas vacation

The condo was in a great location and perfectly decorated. John was very responsive with questions and helped me plan a fun little Christmas surprise for my family. We liked being on the ground floor so we could walk in and out of our condo to sit and relax on the chairs right outside or walk along the wall to watch the sea turtles. We also saw whales right from the condo! It was an easy walk to several restaurants and to the beach. We absolutely loved our time in Maui.

Beautiful condo and peaceful in every way

Immaculate condo and streamlined everything! The building and property are well maintained and so peaceful. The interior of the condo is super clean and tastefully decorated. It’s a serene environment all the way around. Sunrises with the turtles, easily 25 turtles a day floating just off the rocks getting their morning feed from the rocks. The pool is lovely, and the location is fantastic. We can’t wait until we can do a return trip! Beds are comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked, and the outdoor gas grills are a short thirty paces from back patio door. We really appreciated the WiFi and the ease of getting checked in and out. This was our best VRBO experience we have ever had. Simply fantastic!

Great Stay!

The condo was exactly as pictured-beautiful, very clean and great kitchen with all items one might need. Everything in the place was top notch! A fun perk was being able to walk out the sliding glass doors and off the lanai to the waterfront and see some sea turtles. John was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with- would definitely come back again.

Good property, nice unit with everything we needed for cooking. Turtles swimming in front of the property are amazing. Only feedback: pool has very little shade and this part of the island can be quite windy. Easy to get to other parts of the island, very centrally located.

Fantastic place

My family and I (3 kids under 9) stayed here for our week-long Maui trip and it was perfect. The view can’t be beat and ground floor location was great. It’s centrally located on the west side of Maui and a quick 20 min to the east side. The unit was very clean and well-appointed - we didn’t want for anything. The owner was quite responsive. We were walking distance to the aquarium and my kids loved the pancakes at the general store - they’re huge! We would absolutely stay here again, it was a wonderful place to come back to after a day experiencing Maui!

What a view! Amazing condo! Immaculate & clean!

We truly enjoyed our stay Maalaea! John and Trish were amazing hosts! The condo had everything we needed and more. It was so nice to be able to grab a beach chair and a cooler, supplied by the hosts, and take a stroll down the road to the beach. The view was nothing short of fabulous! We loved waking up to seeing Haleakalā and all the fascinating sea turtles. We have never seen so many sea turtles before. The pool was also great, so easy to get to and could always get spot. We actually had the pool to ourselves several times. If we are so lucky to come back, we would stay here for sure! Mahalo!

Don’t miss your chance to book this!!

We loved everything about our stay here. Perfect location in walking distance to the harbor- book a snorkel cruise! Just minutes away from amazing restaurants and shops! John is the perfect host- the kitchen is fully stocked and he even had some Maui coffee and Island treats for us upon arrival. You will have your own convenient parking spot just a few feet from the condo, and then right out the back door is the ocean. Just steps away! We had fun watching the turtles and crabs each afternoon and in the morning we would lounge on comfy chairs to see the sunrise. My 11 year old loved the pool too! The beds are super comfortable and the condo stays nice and cool. If this place is an option for your vacation- book it! You won’t regret it. 🌺

Paradise in Maui

We had an amazing time at John's condo! The condo was impeccably clean and had absolutely everything you could possibly need from beach chairs to shampoo! John was also remarkably responsive- we had a quick question about the pool key and he got back to us instantly. He was also super accommodating about letting us check out a little bit later since we had a much later flight. The view of the ocean from the condo and lanai is just absolutely breathtaking. We also loved the slower pace at the condo complex compared to being at one of the big resorts. You can always get a chair at the pool or one of the loungers facing the ocean. Can't recommend this condo or John as a host enough-truly a wonderful experience and wishing we were still in Maui!

Perfect for a family of 5!

My husband and I traveled with our three kids, ages 11, 10 & 4. This condo is truly a hidden gem. The private pool kept the kiddos busy and the ocean view was spectacular, right outside the condo. The turtles were so fun to watch every day! The island cats were amazing also. The aquarium, restaurants, and shops were just up the road, a short walk. We could easily walk to two beaches as well. The condo itself is really what made our trip so relaxing. Our kids loved the bunk beds! The kitchen was amazing, the hosts have thought of everything! The condo itself was beautiful, just like in the pictures. Updated, clean, and great decorating! Lots of little touches from start to finish. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer inside the unit. Well done John! I will also say, everyone in the condo complex was very nice, we really enjoyed our conversations with everyone! Thanks for a great time! We will be back someday! -The Street Family

Do we really have to leave?

Perfect accommodations in Paradise. Super clean, comfortable, with all the necessities and lots of extras. Being on the ground floor with the ocean in your backyard is amazing. It was so nice to have breakfast out on the lanai or just pop out to look at the turtles and breathe in the fresh Island air. The condos location was great for exploring the island and John provided us with an excellent list of restaurants, beaches and adventures. The only negative thing was having to leave when our vacation was over. This is definitely a place I’d recommend to any of my friends visiting Maui in the future.

Amazing!

Not sure what I can say that other reviewers haven't. This place is absolutely amazing. The interior of the unit is immaculate as described. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Beach towels, chairs, snorkel gear all provided as well. The ground floor unit made it so easy to walk out and see the Sea Turtles in the sanctuary and watch for whales (which we saw every day from right outside the unit). Loungers and pool are just steps away, with a full panoramic view of the bay. John provided a long list of restaurant, beaches and tour recommendations which was a big help. We toured the entire island and really felt like this was most convenient location for our "home base". John was great every step of the way. Can't imagine staying anywhere else when we come back!

Perfection

This is a 5-star property in every way - location, cleanliness, amenities, furnishings. We loved the location in the center of the island, making it convenient to get to everywhere. And we were so happy to not be in the middle of a huge resort area. The harbor area is a short walk away and has shops, restaurants and the best whale watching tours (we can highly recommend PacWhale). We spent every evening on the condo's lanai watching for whales, or walking along the waterfront looking for turtles. The highlight of our whole trip happened one evening when we noticed a splashing disturbance out in the water, which turned out to be two adult humpback whales practicing their pectoral fin slapping! John leaves a great set of binoculars for his guests to use, which gave us a close-up look at these whales having a great time. The humpbacks spend the winter in Maui, December - April, mating one year and giving birth the next. In February-early March, the new calves are fun to observe from a whale-watching tour.

Excellent location. We loved sitting on the Lanai and watching the harbour activity as well as the whales spouting in the distance and the little turtle popping his head up near the shore. The unit was without compare, everything we needed was accommodated. A kitchen a chef would delight cooking in. The linens and beds were 5 star. We appreciated the helpful, reliable information our friendly host John, gave us and his assistance when needed. Thanks so much for helping us create wonderful memories.

We enjoyed every morning out on the lanai having coffee and breakfast. We saw more turtles just outside the condo than we did on our snorkeling tour to turtle town.

Fantastic host , great location

This is not only a rental, it is an experience and the main reason for this is the high level of attention to details by the hosts. Every room is properly furnished and NOTHING is missing. To top it all, John’s genuine passion for offering a great stay percolates throughout the stay. As far as the location, having toured Maui, I never wished being somewhere else. This area is so quiet, feels less touristy and is strategically located on the island. Everything feels close. Property is also very clean with a lot of friendly residents. One of the key highlights of the trip was finishing the day right in front of the condo, by the sea, looking for sea turtles while sipping wine !!! Everyone loved it !

About the host

Hosted by JOHN

Aloha! My wife Trish and I have lived in the Seattle burbs for 45+ years. We love great food, wine, coffee, anything outdoors, and daring adventures that involve trekking, climbing, cycling, learning. Married 45+ years, loving life and spoiling our 4 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

We discovered Maalaea Kai over 40 years ago when traveling with my parents. Now, 'The Kai' is no longer a secret. Once guests stay here, it's where they return. Besides the private, yet friendly vibe, inspiring views, and short/quiet walk to one of the most beautiful sandy beaches, it's THE absolute best location in Maui for easy access to any part of the island.

What makes this property unique

Virtually everything in this unit is brand new with all the accoutrements you would expect in a 5-star hotel at half the price. You'll never forget falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the nearby surf. (A local Maui Realtor recently mentioned one can't sleep closer to the surf without pitching a tent!) In the winter, watch (and HEAR!) the whales breach from your private lanai. Or, just walk 15 steps to the surf's edge and view the sea turtles frolic in their local sanctuary. You'll also find some of the most kind, generous, and genuinely nice neighbors during your stay.
