Come share our dream home!
This condo is not an investment property, we live in this condo part time. We chose this condo for its location right across from Charley Young Beach (next to Kama'ole 1), our favorite Maui beach. Our condo has an ocean view from our lanai, living room and kitchen. Charley Young Beach is directly across the street.
Our condo (#1402) is on the top (4th) floor in building #1 and is one of the biggest and nicest units in the Maui Vista complex. Since it's in the first building, it provides the best ocean and pool view in the complex, as well as plenty of privacy since the condo is located near the end cap. Enjoy the sunset from the Lanai balcony before you take a soak in our romantic Jacuzzi tub. The condo is air conditioned, has all the usual amenities, PLUS free Internet, free Hawaii, mainland and Canadian phone calls and more (see details). Includes a new flat panel TV, xBox 360 with 2 controllers, iPod docking stations, Keurig coffee maker, custom artwork, as well as a new queen sleeper couch, new bar-height lanai furniture and Tommy Bahama beach chairs! In May 2014 we remodeled the kitchen - all new granite counter tops, new stainless range, sink and dishwasher!
We chose a Kihei location because Kihei gets more sun than most of Maui (some parts of Maui can be quite wet!). Kihei is also centrally located, making it easy to take a quick trip to Lahaina (west side) or the North shore (which is great for sports... one of the reasons we are on Maui). Kahului (where the airport is) is only 15-20 minutes away. This is also where you would start your trip to Hana if you want to explore the wilder east side of the island. Or of course, just stay in Kihei and enjoy all its amenities. Supermarkets, restaurants, bars, golf courses, and more, are all within walking distance. And the beach is directly across the street - only a 2 minute walk away!
We believe being fully booked is more important than maximizing our rates, so our rates are priced slightly lower than other condos of the same caliber. We have a lot of repeat guests who absolutely love our condo - just read our reviews! :)
Are you looking for a nice one bedroom? The other unit we own is on the second floor (#1219). You can check it out here on VRBO - it's property #507896.
About Ellen Whitney
Aloha! We are Markus and Ellen, the owners of the condo you are considering. We live on Maui part time, and we split our time between Maui, Houston, and Austria (near the city of Salzburg right smack dab in the middle of the Alps). I know: It's a tough life, but someone has to do it ;-)
But it's not all fun and games of course. We are business owners who happen to be lucky enough to be able to work from anywhere there is internet. The good news is we travel - a lot! The bad news is we always bring work with us, but we love it! Our core business revolves around custom software development. We specialize in consulting, custom software development, training, conferences, and more. We also publish one of the leading software developer magazines (CODE Magazine).
Ellen Whitney purchased this condo in 2012
Why Ellen Whitney chose Maui
When we bought our condo, we first and foremost looked for a great location. We wanted something that provided the “tropical island feeling”. We wanted to be near or on a beach, and not just any beach, but on a beach we really liked and felt at home at. We also wanted a nice location that would provide access to the things we liked, and we wanted a location that would give us easy access to other cool locations, such as the North Shore and Lahaina. We wanted grocery stores, restaurants, bars and shops within walking distance. We wanted a great location that we could bring our friends to. With all that, it quickly became clear we wanted to be in the southern part of Kihei, near our favorite beach on the island - Charley Young Beach (the north end of Kama'ole 1).
What makes this condo unique
Our favorite Maui beach is directly across the street, less than 100 yards away. We have tons of restaurants, bars and shops, including a grocery store, within walking distance. Other Maui attractions (such as the North Shore, which we visit a lot, or Lahaina, and many others) are not far, since Kihei is centrally located. The airport is nearby. Kihei is also sunnier than other parts of Maui - it actually rains a lot in some parts of Maui!
Guestbook comments from the owner
My husband and I were in Hawaii for our honeymoon a few weeks ago, and we had a great experience staying at Ellen's condo in Kihei! The listing was exactly as described - the apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed. The overall location was perfect as well, with a beautiful view of the ocean and the ability to get around the island easily. I definitely recommend this condo to anyone who is looking for a living accommodation away from the resort area, but central enough to visit any part of Maui. Overall, we had an excellent trip and will consider staying at the condo again the next time we are in town :)

Great Place
We enjoyed our stay at Maui Vista, the location is great, the beach is very close, nearby restaurants are excellent and the condo itself was clean and comfortable. Everything you could need for a relaxing beach vacation is here!
We will come again.
Great Location!
We had stayed in a 1 bedroom at this same complex in the past. My favorite aspect of this unit was sitting out on the balcony with my coffee as the sun came up and watching the chickens in the parking lot across the street. We were also able to go out there and watch the sun set as we were not able to walk down to the beach in time. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels. Ellen is very responsive and easy to work with and you can tell that she cares about her unit! The only drawbacks I will mention is that we were there during an exceptionally hot weekend of 90+ degree weather and high humidity. The loft bedroom was very hot, even with the ceiling fan, floor fan, and air conditioner on downstairs, etc. I took one for the team and slept up there with my daughter, while giving my mother the Master Bedroom and my husband the sofa. Also, the bathroom in the loft is open with a Japanese screen divider for privacy. This is no problem if you are with close family or friends. I can see it perhaps being an issue if you are staying with people where privacy is needed. Our favorite thing about this condo complex is that there are several restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The beach access is also across the street. My daughter and mother also enjoyed the pool.
Great location, nice view, roomy
Great location, nice view, roomy. Great for budget travelers who need space.
Cozy condo, great location
Great place, perfect location for what we wanted to do (explore the whole island). Real nice beach just across the street, markets and restaurants just down the street, swimming pool and tennis courts down stairs. The condo is two bedroom two bathroom, and has a real homely feel!
Great location!
My family of four enjoyed our stay at Maui Vista. It was great having 2 bedrooms so we had our own space. The beach across the street was clean and not too crowded (and you could also walk to several others nearby). It was so nice to have chairs, a boogie board, cooler and more to take to the beach for the day or to pack cold drinks for the days we went exploring.
There were many restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. We took advantage of Costco by the airport and were able to prepare many meals in the small kitchen. Cooking utensils are provided, but it would've been nice if there were a few basic items like foil, oil, plastic baggies, etc.
The only thing I would change if I could would be to have a shower in the upstairs bathroom. There was a big beautiful tub, but never used by us.
Overall, Maui Vista is a great place to stay and I will recommend it to my friends and family!
Lovely and comfortable condo!
This condo is a fabulous rental. We were pleased with its location in Kehei. This place is located very close to the beach, shopping and some downright great restaurants. Having a fully furnished place in Maui is mandatory and this place did not disappoint. We loved the pool too :)
Highly recommend using this location. We will for sure!
