This is your home if you want privacy and beautiful view

PROS: The view - oceanfront so the constant sound of the waves is soothing. One of the most gorgeous views to wake up to that we have ever experienced! Quiet - never once were we disturbed by other guests, traffic, or crowds. Location - about a five-minute walk to the harbor, Maui Ocean Center, the nearest beach and a small local grocer that serves a very decent breakfast and lunch. Grounds - beautiful landscaping, nice pool, laundry facilities and grill area. We even saw numerous turtles at the sea wall! CONS: TV - It takes three remotes and a page full of instructions to operate the tv. And we boomers never could figure it out so my husband did without football for the week. A/C - it is loud! The unit on the lanai sounds like an airplane taking off and after a while, it is annoying. Bed - needs a new mattress and when I stripped the linens upon check-out, we saw many stains on the mattress. Cleanliness - the entire unit needs a top to bottom cleaning and a fresh paint job. We had a few issues and the owner was very quick to send someone to take care of it. OVERALL: I would definitely stay here again. It is very budget friendly. You'll understand what I mean when you venture down to Wailea/Makena area. So if you don't want to spend a fortune on accommodations, this is a great place to stay!

Beautiful location. Lovely view. Well maintained grounds. Close parking. No complaints.

We loved staying at Gwen’s condo in Maalaea and for us the location was perfect. The view is beyond magical and it was really relaxing sitting on the lanai watching the sun set and rise and hear the waves. The condo had everything we needed. Would love to come back here in the future . The communication with the owner was great and she answered right away when we had a question about something.

We really enjoyed staying at this VRBO. The views were awesome and seeing the turtles daily was amazing. We're SCUBA divers and it is super close to one of the ports used. This was great for those 6:30AM dive boat meeting times. ;) Lots of kitchen appliances available, AC worked great, parking is easy peasy, and its central location is a great home base to go both North or South on the west side of the island. We hit some weather at the very end of our stay and the host was VERY accomodating allowing us a late check-out due to a changed flight time and even offered an extra day for us if the flight got cancelled. (Thanks, Gwen!) We'd definitely recommend this VRBO to a friend and look forward to another stay.

We made the most out of our vacation and enjoyed what was made up to us. The beach front was gorgeous. We spot a few turtles on our last day and it was nice to wake up and enjoyed a cup of coffee on the balcony. The host was attentive and always responsive to our needs and questions. Upon arriving from a long flight, we were tired and everyone just wanted to sleep. While making our bed, I noticed a few things not up to standard such as sofa bed cover stained (looks like pee, it was yellow) from who knows when, pillows with sweats stains from maybe last several stay and old sheets that had a smell on like it’s been sitting for a while. (Think of sheets you wash and stored away for a long time and when taken out to use, its collects a weird smell). When communicated to the host, Gwen was apologetic and said she’s disappointed and it’s never happened before. A small refund ($110) given back to us for the inconvenience. The house keeper went to Target and dropped off new sheets. I was communicated new pillows were going to be dropped off but never did. Our family came for a vacation and everything should have been perfect but it wasn’t. We tried to make the best out of it. The highlight of our stay was the view, otherwise the unit is a bit outdated and could use fresh paint and new furniture. There were beach towels, camping chairs available to the guest, if needed. Also boggie boards and binocular. Not intended to be a bad review but just an honest review.

Very nice condo in Maalea! Clean, great little kitchen, porch overlooking Maalea bay! Saw herd of turtles (actually, correct word is "bale" of turtles) right off the front lawn area. Very easy walk to restaurant, shops in Maalea village. Good "home base" for travels around Maui.

It was a perfect week with my newly wedded wife in a perfect location to check out everything the island of Maui had to offer. We did not have a SINGLE issue with anything and the place was FULL of all the essentials we needed for the week and MORE! Highly recommend!

Location Location Location. On the ocean. Spotlessly clean, turtles and the best swimming pool on Maui

Gwen's place in Ma'alaea was perfect for visiting Maui. It's centrally located, making trips to Wailea-Makena, Kihei, and Lahaina a breeze. The sunrise is beautiful from the lanai, and the view is breathtaking, including whales and turtles in the bay. We highly recommend a stay here!

It's a beautiful and quiet place to stay!

This is a great condo with a great location in the center of Maui. You can't go wrong in this location where you can watch the whales from you balcony.

Good location, adequately furnished. Met our needs

View off the lanai is spectacular. Condo is simple but very clean and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. The grounds and pool very well taken care of. Thx for a great vacay!!

The property was well maintained. The condo was beautifully decorated and we had a wonderful view of the bay. There is miles of beach to walk on and hardly any people using it. This was our 3rd time to Maalaea area. We are very familiar with area. Saying that our host sent very detailed information about the condo as well as maps, activties, other helpful information. It was a very relaxing holiday

We stayed here for about one week during our holiday. It was a great spot - quiet and spectacular views, while also being close enough to basically go anywhere! Gwen was great to communicate with and the property and condo are as described. We loved staying here and would return again!

Central location and beautiful view!

This condo has amazing views, and is in a quiet, private location. Enjoyed the local restaurants, whale and turtle watching from the lanai and walking distance to a pretty good beach. Hard to beat. We had hoped for a more comfortable bed, more updated amenities and to be able to listen to the amazing CD collection, but the player did not work. The fan in the bathroom was very loud and we had difficulty with the DW but eventually got it started. Overall, cannot beat the views, location and value for this place.

This condo was perfect for myself, husband and daughter. We loved the ocean view from the lanai, the immaculate grounds and pool, and the central location. The condo was very clean and well stocked. Clean laundry facility was great. Plenty of fresh towels and beach items. We would love to stay here again!

This is an ocean front property with full, direct views of the ocean (Maalaea Bay) from the living room and balcony. We saw whales daily. The complex is older, but both the property and this condo unit are well maintained and meticulously cared for.

This property is in a convenient location to access all parts of the island. Located steps from the ocean. We were whale watching from the balcony. The condo was clean and comfy and the area was quiet and relaxing.

Loved this condo! Great location - not too crowded and right on the waterfront. Easy to get to from airport and to other towns like Lahaina. Beach is right down the road, easy to walk to!

Wonderful unit with an exceptional view. Great for sunrises, sunsets, whale and turtle watching . Watching the whales from the lanai was outstanding! Binoculars were provided but not always needed. Unit was well equipped with amenities. Gwen (owner) was very helpful and easy to contact. The bed was very comfortable as were all the furnishings. We never needed to use the A/C as the overhead fans and breeze coming in from the ocean kept the unit very cool. Location was great. Easy access to store, beaches, restaurants and easy access to the highway to tour around. Definitely hope to return next year.

Perfect for two. Great views. Nice shore line and sea turtles! Loved it.
