Perfect condo

This condo was the perfect place for us! It was clean and exactly as described. The kitchen was stocked with all the supplies we needed to cook and eat. It helped that we stopped at Walmart for groceries before checking in. (There were filters for the coffee maker which was good because we didn’t think of that!) There were also chairs and beach towels that came in handy. And the view was AMAZING! We got to see the sunrise every morning from our balcony, and we could sit and stare at the ocean anytime we wanted. The location was perfectly situated between a park/beach and a shopping area, with only 10 minutes walking distance to either one. There were plenty of restaurants, as well as cute little shops to buy necessities and souvenirs. The same area has the harbor with at least 2 businesses that help set you up with boat tours. The park/beach is secluded and felt like we were on our own private beach. I can’t say enough good things about this condo! We highly recommend it and will definitely book again if we get the chance to go back to Maui.

Wonderful Choice

The condo was perfect in terms of the view and location on the island. Everything was as described. The kitchen is lacking some basic items that most VRBO‘s have (such as salt and pepper and some sort of cooking oil), but that was truly the only disappointment. The management company was very responsive to requests with an immediate response and willingness to help. I would stay here again without question.

Lovely location

This property needs a deep clean of carpet in the bedroom and couch. This was communicated to management upon arrival. They offered to clean immediately, but we declined because we didn’t want the inconvenience while we were there. The bathroom needs an overhaul as well. The location on the water is lovely. View of the ocean and pool is second to none. The lanai is out of the wind, which is really nice as it was very windy. Unit is close to the elevator.

Incredible Views and Location

We loved our stay here. The views from the lanai are truly direct oceanfront. We enjoyed sitting out there and listening to the waves. The air conditioning worked very well and the place was clean and comfortable. The location is walking distance to the marina, aquarium and a shopping plaza with multiple good restaurants and cute shops. We caught a sunset cruise at the marina and had a quick walk home. Less than 15 minutes to the heart of Kihei and about 25-30 minutes to the Lahaina area.

Perfect location

We stayed for 8 days and completely enjoyed our stay. The unit was perfect. The ocean view with the patio was amazing. There is a small beach close by but to get a bigger beach is about .5 mile away but a very nice wide open beach with hardly any people. This is a more windy location but it does help keep the heat down with an ocean breeze. It is also close to the harbor so we took several tours within walking distance.

We were able to get to most places we wanted to go in under 25 min drive. There are a few a little longer, but the extra time is usually part of that adventure. Pretty much everything we needed for our stay. The couch pulls out for an additional bed. That was a good thing since we ended up with an extra person joining us at the last minute. You can walk to the marina that has several boat tours, small shopping center and restaurant. We did have a question and they were very quick to answer and followed up to make sure the answer was complete. If we were to return to Maui, we would consider staying here again.

Wonderful stay! 5-star!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks here. Great communication with Jenna, easy check-in, lovely condo, and that view! Whale sightings everyday. We’ve stayed at various vrbo’s for over 20 years and Jenna’s is one of the best. It’s well stocked with just about everything you need. For those who prefer to dine out a lot, note that Maaelea is a very quiet community with not a lot of restaurants. But it was perfect for us and our vacation style. We loved it here. Thanks Jenna!

Wonderful ‘home away from home’

Our stay was wonderful in every way. We saw whale activity from our lanai, cooked fresh fish from the outside community grill twice, swam laps in the very nice pool, walked to the Aquarium (a must see), drove twice to the end of the road to the sweet small community beach to read and snorkel. There are many great amenities in the vrbo incl beach chairs, snorkel equip, cooler, umbrella. We easily drove to shops and restaurants, and the bird sanctuary was a highlight. Having a parking space and laundry was great! We would definitely book again!

Great location but lacks upgrades

We love this location and hope to go back. We saw whales spouting every day and if you watch the rocks sometimes big leatherback turtles show up. To the left side of the condos is a nice beach you can walk to. The harbor is very close with nice restaurants and the Aquarium is there too. Now the down side: I would not go back unless the beds were replaced. The pullout sofa mattress and the bed mattress need to be replaced (very old). When we took the sheets off they had flipped a pillow top mattress over and put a thin foam pad on it! We flipped it back over and took the pad off. A few other minor repairs are needed too. For these reasons I would not go back to sthis condo, unless the mattresses were replaced. The host was able to get back to us on most issues. If the following things were upgraded or repaired I would go back. THE BED IS IN NEED OF A NEW MATTRESS! The light over the sink kept falling off (put up with double stick tape. It needs to be screwed in. The light over the stove didn't work. No big deal, but nice to have if you cook. The frying pans all were very old. No spatula, I bought one. The shower head cover kept falling off. These are all litlle things but for the price, they should be repaired. New mattress is a must!
