ALOHA! (Prior to sending us a request, please take a look at our calendar shown on this page and see if your desired dates are available) - then drop me an email with your telephone contact number if you are interested in booking a vacation to paradise - we would love to hear from you! Welcome to our newly renovated one bedroom fully furnished ground floor OCEANFRONT condominium - literally a stones throw to the water at the Maalaea Yacht Marina located in the most perfect central location on the Island of Maui. This is the IDEAL place for a couple to escape to paradise! This condo has the WOW factor from the moment that you walk through the entry door. We furnished the condo as our 'home away from home' and left nothing out for our special guests to wish for. The plantation shuttered 'all glass' front allows you easy access to your lanai where you will relax in comfort. The lanai is perfect for viewing excursion boats leaving the harbor, surfers riding the famous 'Freight Train' waves (best in the summer months) and last but not least during the winter months you will have fantastic views of the humpback WHALES without taking a charter to view them. Every piece of furniture was purchased with 'comfort' in mind from the Tommy Bahama style sofa and lounge chairs to the California King Serta Sleeper bed. The tiled bathroom is located 'en suite' in the master bedroom and not out in the hallway. This is the perfect bathroom location for a couple but may not be ideal for 4 adults. The designer kitchen is furnished with all stainless steel appliances, travertine countertops and a rare Italian cherry wood center island from the Versace Store in Whalers Village. There is a Sony 46' Flat Screen TV, DVD/CD Player, Free U.S. and Canada Telephone Calls, Wireless Internet (bring your own laptop), salt water swimming pool and new stainless steel gas barbecues out by the pool. We are just a 5 minute walk to Maui's famous 5 mile scenic Sugar Beach! We are walking distance to Kealia Nature Preserve, several restaurants, miniature golf, many fishing, snorkeling and tour boats and the Maui Ocean Center. This quiet central location is Maui's 'best kept secret'. Maalaea Yacht Marina has 46 units and your parking spot is reserved for our unit, no aimless driving late at night hoping to find parking and NO extra charge for parking like the resorts charge. Why would you ever pay double the price for a garden view unit in another location on Maui when you can stay a 'stones throw' from the water in a luxury ground floor oceanfront unit at Maalaea Harbor? This quiet central location offers easy access to all of Maui's famous beaches, the road to Hana, Haleakala, Kihei, Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kahului and is only a 15 minute drive to the airport. Take a peak at our calendar - we have special dates 'reserved' just for you! If you need more photos, just send us an email, we took many after the remodel, so we have plenty to share. If you are looking for an exceptionally nice oceanfront condo for your well deserved vacation to paradise, please contact us. 2012 Booked Full Very Quickly, so plan your 2013/2014 getaway early! Family or friends wanting to join you? We can help you obtain another brand new groundfloor or upper floor remodeled unit - just drop us an email. Come leave your footprints in the sand! Mahalo!

About Caroline Friesen

Allan is retired from 45 years in the field of Criminal Justice. I am still active here in Idaho as a personal property appraiser. We have 2 sons and 1 daughter and 8 grand children. We love all water activities especially boating in the San Juan Islands and fishing for steelhead in Idaho in the winter. We love Maui and are so very happy to call this our second home.

Caroline Friesen purchased this condo in 2011
Why Caroline Friesen chose Maalaea

Central location to all activities on Maui, boating, swimming, surfing, beaches, restaurants, shopping, very quiet condo building and just wonderful oceanfront property. The views from our property are great!

What makes this condo unique

So close to the water! Wonderful panoramic views from our oceanfront lanai - watch the tour boats, surfers, wind surfers, kayaks, whales, Molokini, Kihei and Haleakala. When we get tired of just 'watching', we grab our suits and head to the pool or ocean for a swim or our new favorite thing to do 'paddle boarding'.

A little bit of heaven in Maalaea

From our arrival, we were visibly impressed by not only the attention to detail in the amenities provided (fully stocked kitchen, very nicely appointed living room and bedroom) but by the physical condition of the overall property. Although these condos are some of the oldest on the island, they have been meticulously maintained, with one of the best views of upcountry, kihei/walea shore and adjacent islands.
The perfect locale for whale watching, and conveniently located to the entire island no matter which side of the island you prefer. The unit and environs boasts the ambience missing from the major chain hotels, at a fraction of the price. Would highly recommend it to anyone searching for a romantic getaway.

Fabulous Condo

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 12, 2013
  • Stayed: Apr 2013
We recently stayed in Caroline and Allan's condo in Maalaea. This is a very nice place for a vacation ! The unit is very nicely updated, the kitchen has everything you need and more, Caroline did a fabulous job with the cabinets and countertops ....very nice. The furnishings are very comfortable, bed is great , liked having the one bathroom off the bedroom, more than enough storage, nice flooring, good internet service. We don't know what else anyone could need !
Loved the lanai overlooking the pool, it is offset from the rest of the complex, so any wind doesn't seem to be an issue, wonderful ocean view from inside and out. The complex is quiet and very nicely maintained.
We have never stayed in Maalaea before and we loved it..wonderful to walk to restaurants
and stores...we were surprised at the lovely lawn area in front of the buildings, from the road you don't even know it's there, lovely morning stroll, I guess we never realized how beautiful the ocean views are in Maalaea.i.
Thank you Caroline and Allan...can't say enough good things...see you soon.

Nice Condo

  • 3 of 5
  • Submitted: Apr 9, 2013
  • Stayed: Mar 2013
This was a very nice condo. You can tell the owners have done a lot of work to make it very comfortable. I was satisfied with the quality of the condo and had a very nice stay.

Once I left, however, there were complaints that I did not properly clean the condo according to the directions listed in the condo. I did follow those directions and did everything on them that I was told to do. I did not leave the unit damaged in any way and I paid the required cleaning fee.

I would not rent this condo again.
Owner's Response: All that we ask of our guests is that they treat our home with care and respect - our housekeeper found 9 days accumulation of sand and Maui red dirt mixed in with coffee grounds on our hardwood floors and a large puddle of water on our wood furniture surfaces in the bedroom - no deposit money was withheld from this guest - I just emailed her that we were disappointed in the condition that our home was left in. We strive very hard to keep this vacation rental in top notch condition for our guests. Each and every one of our past guests have had a wonderful stay - left our condo very tidy - and several have already booked again with us - a motel room with daily maid service is probably more suitable for this guest.

My husband and I had an excellent stay at this property. Beautiful decor, clean, comfortable, bug free, ground level with pool located in front of the unit. Lovely ocean view off the adorable covered terrace which is perfect for reading, relaxing and dining. The owners were extremely accommodating and wanted to ensure we had the best possible vacation. They provided us with information regarding local activities as well as conveniences . The location is perfect for walking to local shops, restaurants and sugar beach (great beach for all activities). Hint-- the General Store has great food!

We highly recommend this property -- perfect for a fun, relaxing get away!

Central Maui Condo

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jan 13, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
As this was our first trip to Maui, we had no idea what to expect when booking a condo. Through a friend we found this Condo unit and were very pleased with the results. The owners were so nice and went beyond the call of duty for assisting us with information on our trip as well as made the rental transaction go smoothly. Their instructions were well communicated and the condo building itself had friendly faces whereever you turned. The pictures of their unit were accurate and reflected their write up. Their unit is beautiful, comfortable and well kept. It's quiet but if you are looking for a little night life, you can walk down to the harbour and sit in one of the local restaurants for a drink. Although one of the windiest locations, it's refreshing on hot days. Guaranteed Whale sightings right from shore! (during peak seasons) Located in central Maui, it's an ideal location for any excursion you are planning. Whether walking to the harbour to catch a whale watching tour, or driving a short distance to several different beaches, or running to Costco for groceries. Our favorite beaches were Big Beach past Wailea and Kalapalea beach. Aqua Adventures provided a fun snokerling excursion even stopping for some wonderful whale watching! We would definitely recommend this condo unit!

Wonderful 1 bedroom condo in Maalaea Harbor, that is groundfloor and poolside in central Maui.

This is a wonderful condo was remodeled not that long ago and it is in Maalaea Harbor. It is between Kehei & Lahania making it central to most everything on the island. There is a pool just out the door and a spectacular view of the harbor and beautiful sunsets. The condo itself is well equipped with everything you'd need for your stay and the rates are very reasonable. The condo is great for 4 people with a comfortable king size bed and pull out couch. We were just there for 10 days and can't wait to go back. There are lots of great restaurants close by and if you want to drive 10-25 min there many more to chose from in 3 different directions. It can be as quiet or as busy as you want to make your trip to be with lots of near by beaches or tours available.

Nothing says vacation, like a cozy home away from home. Your condo was PERFECT for us as we celebrated our anniversary. Loved every minute on Maui, and coming "home" to your condo after a busy day enjoying the island, was the icing on the cake for us ... Digger and the whole crew in the condo complex were always there for us and always asked if we needed anything. Felt good knowing we were taken care of. Thank you for everything, we look forward to staying with you again in the future !!!

This was absolutely the BEST vacation we've ever had! The condo is centrally located, making it easy to travel all over Maui. The photos are a true representation - everything is exactly as shown online. No surprises. The bed was very comfortable and after a great day of site seeing or snorkeling a comfy bed means a great deal. The breeze kept the temps perfect and not needing an airconditioner was just heaven for us. The kitchen is well stocked with every applicance, utensil, etc. that you desire. We enjoyed walking around the harbor with access to several restaurants and lovely shops from a deli, coffee shop, the laid back Beach Bum to the five star Tradewinds. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us.

Wonderful location. The unit had everything we could possibly need - from beach needs to preparing a lovely meal at home. The natural air movement throughout the unit made it possible to never need the air conditioning - which we loved. Very comfortable and welcoming when we arrived back from a day of activities. Lahania was our favorite location and we tried ziplining for the first time and it was just up the road from the unit.

Thank you!
