What more could you want? Whales, turtles 24/7 and the sounds of the waves to help you sleep. Highly recommend.

Tanci's condo was a great home base for our vacation in Maui, with a great view through the bedrooms and the lanai, and easy access to every corner of the island and everything we wanted to do.

This condo was fabulous. It was located near the airport so we didn’t have a long drive after a tiresome day of flying. It is right next to a marina so we were able to walk to our dinner cruise. There is an Aquarium, shops and restaurants within walking distance. The property manager, Barbara, was very gracious and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this property.

The property was very nice and well cared for. Our condo was overlooking the ocean and we were able to watch the sea turtles everyday. Barb was very helpful with any questions that we had. The views were beautiful and the condo was well stocked and very comfortable.

My husband and I just returned from spending a wonderful anniversary week in Ma'alaea at "Walls of Glass," and our stay was spectacular. Barbara, the property manager, gets a 10 out of 10 for her hospitality and we can't thank her enough for all her helpful information and recommendations. We loved walking around the grounds, seeing the giant sea turtles outside our condo every day, and relaxing at the private beach down the street. We explored different parts of the island every day, and enjoyed every minute of the day. Highly recommend!!

This was a girl’s weekend, two of us older women. This complex was quiet, clean and a great location not far from the airport. Super clean, not just clean. My husband and I travel a lot and have never encountered a place as clean as this one. As others said when I read reviews - THE TURTLES!!!! So fun to sit on the lanai and watch them. Walking distance to the aquarium, which I highly recommend - it was awesome! There are restaurants within walking distance too. Not totally stellar, but nice to be able to walk there. We thought the sandy beach was closer, but it’s not far down the road - too far for us to walk in our case. Beds and furniture were very comfy. I would love to stay here again, and again, and again. Worth every penny!!!! Book it 👍

Great unit, centrally located. No beach access. A short drive to Sugar Beach, a beautiful walkable beach. Not for swimming. Very very windy location. Nice pool. Very well decorated and stocked. However there were maintenance issues to be resolved regarding screens/sliding door and window. Trouble with TV, resolved 1st day.

The bedroom gets very hot even with all the fans going. Also no matter how many times we tried to get the cable boxes to work they never did. Wouldn’t have been an issue if I didn’t have my children with me.

Loved the quiet area. It was a great central location. The condo was very nicely set up. Saw turtles right out front in the water, and we also saw a monk seal.

The condo was located in a quiet area that is easy to navigate any part of the island from. The bed & living room furniture were very comfy. This was probably one of the best stocked rentals have stayed at. The views are gorgeous. The owner was very responsive when had questions. Highly recommend staying here.

This was a wonderful place to stay. Ocean view was gorgeous. I am happy with my decision to stay here. For future guests that plan on cooking, bring some pepper.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I don't think we could have been closer to the water. My husband said that it was actually loud...kidding. The condo is exactly as pictured. Very clean and well-appointed. Communication with the host was fantastic. The condo is very well located. We threw the beach chairs, cooler and umbrella in the rental car and just explored each day. And yes we could see the turtles even from the balcony!!! A++++++

The condo was great. We love this location. We were able to walk to the harbor for the snorkeling tour and snacks. We saw turtles everyday we were there, and eanjoyed the beautiful grounds for sunrise every morning. We loved the soft grass and comfortable loungers for coffee each morning. And, having a cooler, beach towels and beach chairs made trips to the beach easy. The condo was clean and had all the basics. Excellent value for the money.

My niece and I stayed at this vacation condo in early September, and it was an unforgettable experience! The breathtaking view from the balcony was absolutely stunning, and we loved watching turtles swimming in the water below. The condo itself was very comfortable making it easy to relax and unwind. A wonderful surprise was the delicious banana bread in the welcome gift basket – such a thoughtful touch! The upgraded balcony table, which now seats four, came in handy when family visited one day. And the washer dryer was so nice to have so we came home with everything clean. The manager was immediately available by phone to resolve a minor issue arose. Overall, we had an amazing stay and as we were leaving my niece said we had to return to this unit again! Highly recommend!

It was a pleasant stay near Maalaea harbor in this beautiful property. You could literally walk to the harbor to get all the popular cruises. The sea facing lanai was the show stopper, you could listen to the sea from the living room and enjoy the ocean breeze. The property has all the necessary amenities you will need to enjoy your vacation to the fullest. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended.

When we walked in the condo we were blown away with the view. On ground floor with lawn and pool and then the ocean. We spent hours on the lanui and sitting on the lawn watching surfers and the water. We loved that it was a smaller quieter community. We were an easy 10 minute drive to more of the big beaches and restaurants and shopping

Views views views. I would stay here again without a doubt. Loved it. Host was accommodating. Towels were old and definitely need to be replaced, but that’s my biggest complaint. Thanks again

Great condo centrally located in Maui with beautiful ocean view. This condo has everything you could need and more! It is truly home away from home with washer dryer dishwasher, fully equipped kitchen, lanai in front of the ocean, a/c, snorkeling equipment, beach towels, umbrella, cooler, etc. A quiet area.

Clean and super well-equipped condo in a nice, quiet area, away from the crowds of Kihei and Ka'anapali, but still walking distance to shops, restaurants, coffee, and two beaches. Property manager Barbara is helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again on any future visit to Maui.

We loved the outside area next to the sea wall and being able to watch the sea turtles. Very clean, good location, and budget friendly! The restaurants nearby were delicious. Loved this place!

Maalea is located in the center of west Maui and is a relatively small and quiet area. There are a couple of good restaurants in walking distance. The nearby ocean center is a real gem. It’s only a short drive from a number of golf courses and beautiful sandy beaches. The pool and beach front are small but well maintained. The ocean has access but is rocky and dangerous. Our condo was comfortable and well supplied. There’s a wall unit a/c located in the kitchen/living area which leaves it a bit warmer in the bedroom but fans help keep the sleeping area reasonably comfortable. Overall this is a great place to unwind.

We had a wonderful stay. Beautiful condo and the view is spectacular! Also, the location is perfect, we explored the whole island and the drive to each destination wasn’t to lengthy. The condo is in the bottom center of Maui. Also, the condo has everything you need like your at home. Lastly, the owner communication quick and helpful. Response time was quick on questions we had while we were there. Definitely would recommend and stay here again!!

Lots of amenities and a great locations. Stay was great. Only rated 4 stars because our sheets were still in the washer and needed to be run when we arrived.
Michael M.

Our stay was great, thank you for everything. Only things were we could not get the WiFi to work on the tv, and we did not have the code to access the pool. No big deal on either front as I was able to use my hotspot and we were out most of the days we were in town anyway. The place was beautiful and you were a great host. Thank you again.

The condo is even better than we expected. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, extra bedding, beach towels etc. You cannot find a better location. Close to stores, restaurants, beach, etc. We watched the sunrise every morning and turtles were by the bay wall every afternoon to greet us. Memories to last a lifetime! Mahalo

We had a great stay! Love the location and the unit was very clean and well appointed. The parking garage is limited to vehicles of 6’ or less so big SUVs beware you will need to find street parking. The building was quiet and enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again!

My partner and I stayed here for our honeymoon - I loved the location to the harbor as I had excursions planned that took off from there, having a pool, and having a clean home and comfy bed to come back to each day. The best part was the view every morning, which was even more spectacular in person! Turtles at the breakwater which was steps from the lanai everyday, and a beautiful walk along the rock wall. It was fairly windy, which may be attributed to the time of year or the location on Maui, but the breeze was perfect to cool down the house each day. Quiet, ideal place for two that I would be thrilled to stay at again.

We stayed in Kei and Miki’s condo for 40 nights. The location is great for connecting to all parts of Maui and it is located in a quiet neighbourhood. The views of the morning sunrise over Haleakala and the whales in Maalaea Bay were amazing. The unit could use a good cleaning and some general maintenance. The owners also need to update the pictures and the accuracy of the listing. Mahalo Kei and Miki for sharing your condo. We plan to return next year.
