Wonderful view, unpleasant nights

The location and views were excellent, couldn't ask for anything more. The condo was small but nice. Very little room in the bathroom but we managed. The biggest issue we had was the extreme heat in the bedroom. The a/c unit is in the living area and is too small to cool the unit. The best we could get in the living area was high 70's and the bedroom was in the high 80's. We had fans going to try and cool the bedroom but there was little relief. The rental agency tried installing a portable a/c in the bedroom but it was installed improperly and water was flooding the unit below us so we were forced to shut it off. We spoke with other guests who expressed similar issues, some even trying to sleep in the living room because of the unbearable heat in the bedrooms. I would not stay there again. To be fair, the rental agency did give us a minimal reduction in the cost but it was not enough to compensate for the lack of comfort we experienced.

We had an amazing time at Ma’alaea! The view from the condo is amazing and the sound of the crushing waves was spectacular. This is one of the windiest locations on the island which helped keeping the condo cooled off. We loved the location, the set up and the amenities of the condo. We would stay there again.

Overall the location was great in the center of Maui near the Aquarium so easy to go anywhere you needed to go. The apartment was good for a small group. It had good ameneties for cooking there on site except for some basic supplies that would be helpful. Maybe having some basic cooking spices and some coffee filters and basics for that would have been nice. Overall a good place for a small group.

Location is perfect, building is showing its age

Initial impression was clouded by lack of lighting of the entrance pathway near the pool since we arrived after dark and a cockroach on the kitchen floor. When we talked to the property manager the following Monday, they informed us that the underground cables feeding those lights were damaged and overdue for repair. The kitchen was equipped very well so we were able to eat in instead of going to restaurants, which are very expensive in Hawaii. The rest of our time was delightful. We enjoyed the amazing views of the ocean, the sunrises over Mt Haleakala, watching sea turtles from our balcony, and the reflection of the full moon off the water at night. Downside is the fact that the bedroom is the warmest room in the apartment since A/C is a small window unit and located in the living room. When we opened both the front door and the balcony door the fierce winds blew right through and cooled the rest of the flat but not the bedroom. For those who care about pets n the building, they allow only service animals and we met several dogs which were very well-behaved and did not bark. We were unable to contact Maui Paradise Property Management prior to our arrival to see if the location was affected by the wildfires a week earlier and to find out if we needed to rebook a different location. VRBO was not helpful in that regard. Later found out that their office in Lahaina had completely burned down, but they still sent us the correct arrival info one week prior to arrival.

90 year old grandma does Hawaii!! WOW

We brought our 90-year-old mother here for her birthday. She had a fabulous time. She wanted to see the ocean and buy one last time. The views so amazing that she could sit on the lanai and look over at Haleakala in the ocean. Sleeping in the living room let her hear the sound of the ocean. At night you can see the lights of Kihei. We stayed close to the airport for mom. Turned out we loved the area. Nothing was too far for a drive. We went to everywhere and came home to the best view on Maui. Even had a local friend come over and he said wow it’s really nice here love to buy myself a place like this. The size of the unit concerned us, but in the end it was more than adequate for all three. The sofa bed was remarkably comfortable. And the king size bed, and a full dresser provided enough room to really unpack. We even had room for our wheelchair. Thank God we were in Maalea for the wind. The only bad thing is it is a really hot week and everything just gets hot. The trades were up, so keeping the door open let the cross breeze in. Full kitchen was great. We made the most amazing pasta with all local ingredients from farmers market and put the restaurants to shame. Having a washer and dryer is absolutely wonderful. The small pool was more than adequate and felt like a bathtub. All in all five stars. Plus we really try to check in early because of 90 year old mom. The cleaning staff is great. They were expeditiously in the morning texted us right away. MAHALO!!!

Wonderful Condo With Amazing Views

We stayed in this condo in the beginning of may and absolutely loved it. The property manager was always attentive and made sure we were set up for when we arrive on the island. The sign in process is extremely simple. As well as the sign out process of the condo. The location of this condo is absolutely wonderful you are away from lots of the tourist crowds. The view from the patio is unreal, every night at around 4pm we could see sea turtles coming up to shore and one even came up on the beach to take a nap! I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Maui and not be in an overly crowded area!

A view that tempted us to never leave

This place is just as it looks on the photos. Very cute, clean and comfortable. The view is absolutely stunning. We happened to arrive during one of Maui's worst rain storms. It shut the island down so all of our planned activities were cancelled. We felt so lucky to be in this condo. We were cozy and secure, with that gorgeous view to sit and ponder. We could watch the storm and enjoy the waves it brought in. It is a short walk to some restaurants, shops, and the Aquarium and even a small local park with easy access to a gorgeous beach. We went whale watching and saw that there were many whales within the bay area so keep watching. We did see a turtle, even with the bad storm One of the advantages of this condo is it's location. The island kind of looks like a large turtle. This condo is on the side of the neck across from the airport. To see the island you cross this "neck" region. It is a quick crossing from the condo. We were easily able to get to the road to Hana , Haleakala National Park and up the coast on a pretty drive to Lahaina. We rented a convertible which is the best way to see the island. Also this condo is in a much less populated area than Lahaina. We liked that there were no crowds and that it felt more like a local or owners type of area. It seemed like many people live in these condos. Everyone was friendly and we felt very safe and comfortable. The gorgeous view from the porch was worth booking this place alone. The comfortable furniture, decorations, full kitchen and free parking were a nice bonus.

Perfect Quiet Getaway

We were so happy to find this gem. The check-in was a little confusing because the front office was closed and we were unaware a registration slip would be in the condo, but that was the only hitch. Quiet location, constant sound of the ocean whether the shutters/door were open or closed, and GORGEOUS views. We saw honu almost every day from the lanai! If you aren't from the midwest or rural areas you might find the location less convenient because it's a 10-15 min drive to Kihei or Kahului, but we're used to that so it was no issue. There was a coffee maker available, but I went ahead and walked to the general store in the mornings for my java fix. The restaurants by the harbor mostly close before dinner, but it gave us an excuse to drive out to Kihei to try places. It's also walking distance to the Maui Ocean Center aquarium and the Pacific Whale Foundation eco-tour check-in for the Ma'alaea launches so it was a fantastic location in that respect. The property management company was super responsive to inquiries and the service manager came out to check something we reported. I also appreciate knowing that the condo owner actually uses the condo and it isn't just an investment company taking residential property to make money. Next time we return on our own we definitely plan to rent this unit again!
