Me and my son just got home from our maui vacation where we rented Cynthia's condo. It was the best vacation we've ever taken, we didn't spend much time in the condo but we always knew there was an awesome place to come back to relax and unwind.
We found everything That Cynthia put in her ad was on the up and up, no surprises, being a bit apprehensive that I have never rented from the owner it was the perfect first time experience. Cynthia was awesome to deal with and thought of everything, she even had some hand tools that worked great when I had some problems with the jeep I rented. She had beach toys, chairs, snorkel gear.
It was a bit noisy at times but not as bad as it would be in the tourist areas of the island. The condo had an amazing view day and night I bet the water was less than 50 feet from beautiful deck and the light breeze kept the condo comfortable most of the time I would love to return someday soon I only hope Cynthia's condo is still available when I do. And I will tell my friends it was a great expiriance mahalo.... Brink.

Vacationed with 4 Adults ages 40-68 and I was in charge of arrangements....

Stress Free Booking could not be easier! Email the owner, Cynthia, she’ll work out the holding deposit, final payment etc... You’ll get papers and instructions in the mail so that when you land on Maui, you know exactly where to go and how to get there. You do NOT have to meet someone for keys, which is a big plus! I’ve rented places before where you have to meet a person at a certain time to get keys and it's a stressful situation when you're traveling.

Upon arrival, you’ll park in your allocated spot (it’s in your papers), the building is extremely well maintained and the condo itself is super clean (pictures are right on with what you can expect) open the lanai door and an amazing breeze and spectacular views officially welcome you to Maui and your home away from home!

Our party of 4 adults found the condo plenty spacious, 2 bathrooms are wonderful, bedrooms are far enough away from each other, and the layout allows for the perfect balance between togetherness and privacy. Also, since this is a corner condo, no one walks past your place…ever! It also overlooks the Tradewinds mini-grocery store/deli (awesome sandwiches & local produce) so you can just look down to see if they are open.

Throughout our stay we had access to many items….beach chairs, beach umbrellas, roll mats, sun hats, flippers, snorkels, masks, coolers, winter clothes for sunrise at Haleakala (you WILL need these). Just lots of stuff we ended up using and didn’t have to go out and pay for. The place is also loaded with books and games, some movies etc… LOOK under both beds for all the stuff! Kitchen has everything you need and more. There is a pool with bbq area and a sandy mini beach right in front of the condo and in our down time, it was nice to stroll along the shoreline.

Being right next to the Maalaea Harbor was much quieter than we expected (unlike Lahaina Harbor) and very convenient for our cruise activities – no designated driver needed as we could just walk home! Going anywhere else was just as easy as we found this location to be perfect! Big shopping (WalMart) is just a short drive away and a great place to stock the fridge.

In my opinion, renting someone’s personal condo is the best way to vacation. The pride in ownership shows in every detail, the pages in the guest book are filled with past vacationers tips and fun moments...a hotel just doesn’t compare.

I will always check this place first for all future trips to Maui. If you’re considering a condo and this place is available, do not hesitate!
