For more info, lots more pictures, etc. please visit our website...

Kihei, Maui: Maui Vista is a relatively small condo community located in South Kihei, Maui. Kihei is located in South Maui within 20 minutes of the airport. Kihei is home to miles and miles of the most incredible beaches in the world. Many of the beaches in South Maui have been officially recognized as being among the best in the world! There is also an endless variety of restaurants, shopping, bars, snorkeling, golf, fishing, and just about anything else you could desire from your Maui vacation. From Maui Vista, it is a very short walk up the road to Kihei Kalama Village, where there are terrific shops, restaurants, and bars- all in an open air setting.

For more information, please see our website by clicking on the link under Further Details.

Maui Vista: Maui Vista is made up of 3 buildings. Building 1 is closest to the ocean, then building 2, and finally building 3 is furthest inland. Each building has a small pool, two tennis courts, and a BBQ area. Directly across the street from Maui Vista is Kamaole I Beach, aka Charley Young Beach (pictures below). Charley Young is known as a family-friendly swimming beach. There is lots and lots of sand, bits of nice shade, rarely seems crowded, and the slope of the sand into the water is gentle. Perfect for boogie boarders, waders and swimmers of all ages!!

In General: Looking for surfing instead? No problem. Take a right when you leave Maui Vista and the next beach to your left has plenty of the best beginners waves around. Looking for snorkeling? You will find Maui and the surrounding islands loaded with some of the best snorkeling sites around. You can drive down the coast and find endless choices of snorkeling sites where you just walk into the water and start enjoying. Or, you can go out on a snorkeling excursion to Molokini, Lanai, Molokai, or any of the special coves around Maui. There are more choices than you can imagine! The same goes for hiking, fishing, zip lines, or any other excursion you can dream of trying. I suggest picking up a copy of Maui Revealed well before your trip to Maui, and start reading up on your choices. I have found their reviews to be very accurate.

About Marie - owner

Aloha! We are Steve, Marie, Tyler and Dalton Preitauer. While we wish we could say we live on Maui all year, we actually live in Colorado. Someday, Maui will be our forever home, but not yet... We look forward to having you stay in our home and learn to love Maui the way we do. Aloha!!

Marie - owner purchased this condo in 2006
Why Marie - owner chose Kihei

Maui Vista is a terrific mix of long term residents and vacation rentals. This gives the entire property the feel of home, but in paradise! We chose Maui Vista as our first Maui purchase after saving and planning for over 10 years. It is pure heaven!

What makes this condo unique

Maui Vista is across the street from one of the best beaches on the entire island, Kamaole I (aka Charley Young Beach). It is also easy walking distance to several other terrific beaches, a surfing beach, and lots of shops and restaurants. It has the central location and Hawaiian feel that makes you feel instantly relaxed and on vacation. We have decorated our condo at Maui Vista to feel tropical without feeling cliched. We hope to see you in Paradise!

Wonderful place to celebrate our 25th anniversary!

Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: April 2012
Marie and Steve, you own a little piece of paradise! Thank you for sharing it with us! We felt so at home and loved everything you have put in the condo to make it "homey". We were relaxed and spent many days exploring the beaches and the other areas in Maui, including driving to Hana, driving/exploring West Maui, Lahaina, etc. The convertible was an excellent suggestion. We also went kayaking, snuba diving, snorkeling, saw many whales, and took a sunset cruise. The highlight was the Old Lahaina Luau. Food was great, especially Cafe O'Lei, Thai cuisine, and Fred's. Watched hockey games (Canucks) twice at Moose's and met some new friends (also from BC) Next time we come, we want to see Haleakala at sunrise (we kept sleeping in!) and try stand up paddle boarding. Good to leave some things for next trip! Again, thank you for your hospitality and for giving my husband and I a wonderful place to celebrate my birthday as well as our 25th wedding anniversary. Mahalo!!

Perfect home away from home

Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: March 2012
We really enjoyed our second stay in Maui, first at your condo. It was a perfect home away from home for us and just the right location in Kihei. We did everything we had time to do and ate at some of the best restaurants. Our favorite excursion was whale watching. Thanks again, and we hope to return soon. Mahalo!

Maui is one amazing place!

Aloha! Maui is one amazing place! Thank you so much for the use of your condo. Great location and love the ground floor area. We try to come every February to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Just celebrated our 33rd. There are so many things to see and do here- one month just isn't enough. If you are ever in the Yukon Territory, check out our campground on beautiful Teslin Lake. Mahalo!

Especially love the beach closet!

Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: February 2012
Great stay and great place, especially the beach closet!
- Day 1: Sunrise and bike the crater (we cycle a lot and loved it)
- Day 2: Road to Hana loop (swim in waterfalls. 13 hour day and worth it! Lunch at a roadside stop was really good)
- Day 3: Kayak, whale watching, and snorkel with the turtles. Really fun!
Food stops were awesome and over exceeded expectation from all that we were told. Mama's Fish House, Cafe O'Lei, Cuatro, and Maui Taco were all excellent. We love good food and were not disappointed. Fine trip for 1st timers!!

We had so much fun here!

Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: January 2012
Thank you so much for the wonderful place to stay. We had so much fun here! :) The beaches here are beautiful, the people friendly, and the drinks are delicious! Highlights included: The drive to Hana (we rented a car and created our own adventure), Mama's Fish House (pricey, but one of the best meals I've ever had), and all the days at the beach. Another worthwhile stop (embarrassing to admit)... McDonalds Apple Pies. So yummy! :)

Perfect place for our honeymoon!

Submitted: February 5, 2013 Stayed: January 2012
This was our first time here in Maui and we loved it! Perfect place for our honeymoon. Your home is very homey and comfortable. I love how you have all those beach supplies available. :) The bed is so big and comfy. Love it! Home is in the perfect location.
Things to do:
Drive to Hana (take a tour van)
Whale watching in Lahaina (perfect time of the year)
*** Down the street next to the 76 gas station. There's a stand called World Class Concierge. Ask for Phillip- He will give you the BEST deals on activites. Tell him Kelly sent you ;) ***
Zip lining was also fun! And scuba diving is a must do... Ooh, yeah... The luau!!! Have to do a luau!!! Mahalo!!!!!

What a life!!

Submitted: February 4, 2013 Stayed: December 2011
Aaaahhh... What a life! A very rewarding experience we had in Hawaii. We will leave a little piece of our hearts here. Hoping to return in our lifetime. Our little girl was in awe of every moment. My personal favorite was the back country of Hana. Go ahead, violate your rental car agreement!!! And as your other guests have written, Cafe O'Lei, Sushi, Mana Food, Old Lahaina Luau, the Aquarium, Fred's Mexican and the Grand Wailea Hotel are all good times.

Winterpeggers in Paradise

Kim and I have been regular visitors to Maui and have stayed several times at the Maui Vista complex. What made this 21 day stay was the great weather, sun everyday. (Marie did promise this, but we won't hold the few clouds against her) The unit was wonderfully stocked with all those extra's (Chairs, coolers, beach towels, etc) so we had no extra costs to purchase. This unit has been updated and I hear in February the bedroom window is being replaced with a solid version which will keep down the pedestrian noise. (Large improvement, I would suggest a darker window shade as well) The upgraded kitchen and bathroom was everything we needed.

The biggest advantage of the unit is it's central location to the beaches, a 10 minute walk either way gets you to shopping, dining, sports bars. We generally grab a rental vehicle only for the first few days to hit the Costco and stock up for the stay, after that we use the wonderful transit system to explore Maui ($4.00 for a day pass)

Must see's for the first time visitors, Maui Ocean Center as we are amazed each visit with the snorkeling just of the beachs including 100 feet from this unit.

We hope to continue returning each year
Mahalo Marie and Steve and Family for allowing us to share your Home.

Owner's Response: Mahalo for your kind review! Garry correctly mentioned the pending window replacement in the bedroom. We are very excited that the new, much better constructed window is being installed mid-February. The standard window style in Maui (known as Jalousie) is great for ventilation, but lousy for sound insulation. The new window will correct that issue, and will be a definite improvement! Aloha and mahalo!!

Great location!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This adorable condo is in a great location for a Maui vacation. It is south of the congested part of Kihei with the poorly reviewed beaches, but north of the outrageously expensive resorts. It is easy to walk to a good variety of beaches, restaurants, and day-to-day things like groceries. It is also easy to drive to really good snorkeling, and is a good base to see the entire island. We found that it was cheaper than a hotel with the added benefit of a kitchen and laundry which also kept our vacation costs down. The owners and the previous guests left lots of helpful advice in the info sheets and guest book. The condo complex had frequent security checks. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone planning a low-key vacation to Maui.
