About this condo rental
Nestled in Kihei, this attractive condo for $136 per night is a great option for your next vacation. E komo mai meke aloha kakou! Welcome to Maui Vista 1225. For the sixteen years we have been associated with vrbo, we have used this space to tell you about the features and benefits of our condo. We have wanted you to know what others have said about staying with us and about the care and love we have lavished on the unit. And so we are going to offer you one recent review here: Another AMAZING Maui visit In past reviews, I have raved about Stafford and Nancy's place. This one continues that pattern. It's hard to honestly describe how nice this condo is, how well located, how EXTREMELLY well stocked, and how AMAZING the owners are. We had a wonderful time (except we had to leave and come home). Nancy checked in with us on our first day to make sure everything was great, and gave us a farewell call on our last day. I have rented from VRBO probably 30 times, and this couple are hands down the best owners to work with. If you get an opportunity, book this condo - you will be thrilled. But dont book in January - we plan to come back every year. 1/27/2022 at 10:37 PM And, by the way, this guest did return in 2023 and 2024 and is booked for 2025! We are very much hands-on owners and regularly update and maintain the unit - the closet sliding doors were replaced in 2018 as was the stove (or is it an oven?) The living room air conditioner was replaced in 2023, the dishwasher in 2023, and the tables in 2020. And in August of 2023, the bathroom was renovated to install new pipes in the wall (evidently, plumbing only lasts so long), new fixtures, and tile. although the condo has been updated but still it has the feel of the tropics in the furniture, art work, and color scheme. If you have read the reviews, you know that we supply everything we can think of to make your vacation easy and stress-free. We have herbs and spices, sugar, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, storage bags, shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, lots of bath tissue, paper towels, and Kleenex. And, of course, pots and pans, cooking utensils, dishes, glasses, etc. There are lots of pillows - we regularly toss older ones and buy new - beach towels, regular towels, and sheet sets. Oh yes, and beach chairs, boogie boards, beach bags, coolers and blue ice. Please know that we make every effort to keep the condo well-stocked; forgive us if we are temporarily low on some items. We suggest that you check in to the condo before you buy anything but your personal food and drinks to avoid spending vacation money on things already in the unit (this note was a suggestion of a recent guest). We are at the condo at least three times a year to deep clean (as in on hands-and-knees scrubbing the tile, cleaning and polishing the Pergo, and cleaning the area rugs) and restock all of the supplies we provide for you. It is important to us that the condo and its contents are clean and well-arranged. And Maggie, our housekeeper, is outstanding. We are so lucky to have her. We all do our best to keep the unit clean and you safe and healthy. But still, in this age of covid, when you decide to travel, whether to Hawaii or elsewhere, there is the risk that you might contract this virus or another illness. It’s a risk that you need to think about and decide if you want to assume. The location of the Maui Vista is across the street from Charlie Young Beach, the north end of Kamaole One Beach Park. It’s a short two-to-three-minute walk to the beach. There are many shops and stores within walking distance on South Kihei Road and a grocery store (Foodland) about a half a mile north of the condo. We hope that you will decide to travel to Maui and that you will seriously consider staying in Maui Vista 1225. A hui hou, (until we "talk" again), Nancy and Stafford Lombard Three legal issues: we must provide our tax registration number(s) - they are GE 014-590-3616-01 and TA 014-590-3616-01; our management company information: Maui Condo and Home, phone number 808-8789-5445; and our tax map key/parcel ID: RP 2-3-9-018-003-0048-000 Information on taxes: As on Feb.. 1, 2021, vrbo has added THE GENERAL EXCISE TAX OF 4.167% (now 4.712%) TO ITS SERVICE FEE (not their idea - the state required it). Vrbo shows that tax separately. In January of 2023, Maui County added its own Transient Accommodations tax of 3% and in January of 2024 upped the General Excise tax from 4.167% to 4.712%. These two changes bring the total tax you pay to 17.962%. (State TAT = 10.25%, County TAT = 3%, and GET = 4.712%) Vrbo now is co-mingling (with the accommodations taxes) the tax you are charged on the management fee from Maui Condo and Home (our on-island managers, required by law). The fee of $50 is shown separately but the Transient Accommodations Tax and the General Excise Tax on the $50 are co-mingled with those taxes on accommodations. Hawaii requires that you are told what taxes you are paying - taxes that are "visibly passed through" to you, so that's why this note. You will be paying $8.98 on the $50 Maui Condo fee.

I recently had the pleasure of staying in this stylish condo in Maui for a week, and it truly exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the condo's perfect location – within easy walking distance to charming shops, cozy cafes, and the breathtaking beach.
What sets this condo apart is its ability to make you feel at home, even when you're thousands of miles away. It's thoughtfully equipped with everything you could possibly need for everyday living. Whether it's cooking a meal in the well-appointed kitchen or simply relaxing in the comfortable living space, it's clear that every detail has been carefully considered.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional communication with Nancy, the property manager. She was always just a message away, ready to assist with any questions or recommendations, which truly enhanced our Maui experience.
In short, this condo provided us with a "home away from home" in paradise. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to make the most of their Maui vacation. It was a truly great experience, and I can't wait to return.

We absolutely loved Nancy’s condo! The location was excellent, right across the street from the beach and within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. Our kids learned how to surf right down the road. The condo was clean and exceptionally well stocked. We appreciated the beach chairs, beach towels, and boogie boards. The air conditioning was wonderful in the bedroom and living room. I think what really set this property apart from all the others though was Nancy herself! She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Communication was exceptional and we felt very cared for. We have already booked for next year. Thanks, Nancy!

It was a really nice apartment close to the beach. One thing that make it stand out from the rest, that it was very well equipped. We had beach seats and umbrella, coolers and everything. Also Nancy made sure we have everything.

The owner was the most helpful I have ever experienced with this app. You gelt she really went out of her way to help prepare the condo so everything you could think of needing was there! It felt like a home away from home. I was also quite impressed w/ her amazing communication and care.

This condo hit all the five stars when it came to cleanliness, check-in, location, and owners. My family and I stayed for three weeks and it felt like home to us. The condo is stocked with pretty much anything you can think of, from first aid kit, to multiple blankets to pick from, to all the beach equipment you will need. The pull out bed in the living room was great for our toddler and there was even a pack n play crib for our infant. On top of the condo having everything in it to make your stay feel like home, the location was absolutely perfect. The easy walk to Kalama park, food trucks, and Charley Young beach. We found ourselves at the park mostly everyday for the playground, surfer watching, hockey watching, and even free skate every Friday and Saturday night at the outdoor hockey rink if you have your own skates. Another reason to add to the five star review was the host, she called us the day we got in to make sure everything looked good for us and she also called close to our last day to make sure we were happy with the stay. We will be making our future trips to this same condo since we do come every two years and we just might make this place our permanent oasis.
5.0
Unit is located close (5 min walk) to Charley Young Beach. Unit has beach towels and other beach equipment for your use. Unit was within 20-30 mins of the airport which is relatively central to the start of all typical trips (Hana, Haleakala, West Maui). Be aware that during the condo’s quite time (10pm-8am) the trash chutes are closed and locked (you are unable to use them for an early morning departure).

Great condo in Kihei! Stocked with everything that is needed for a day at the beach, as well as comforts in the condo. Location is very convenient to getting around all of Maui! We will will definitely be back!

Wonderful accommodations with everything we needed to enjoy two weeks in Maui. The owners were so helpful and welcoming. Lovely balcony overlooking the garden and the cool afternoon breezes made it a great spot for reading. Already booked it for two years from now…love the location for the beach walks and snorkeling

Nancy was great to work with! She contacted us when we arrived to make sure everything was ok and once again the day before we left to thank us for coming. Condo was well supplied with nearly anything you might need. The condo is centrally located with easy access to numerous beaches and also within walking distance of shopping and dining. We had a great time. The two weeks went by very quickly. Mahalo Nancy and Stafford for letting us stay at your condo.

This condo is well equipped and perfectly located to visit all the different attractions and a block from the beach. Nancy provided lots of tips and ensured our stay went smooth. I would highly recommend!

We've enjoyed staying at Nancy and Stafford's Maui Vista condo several times now, because their care of the condo and concern for their guests is superb! So much of what we could want or need during our stay is already provided. From the kitchen to the bathroom to DVDs and books to just about anything we need for a day at the beach or a drive around the island, it seems all we have to do is open a closet, cabinet or drawer and there it is! Over the years, Nancy and Stafford have made us feel like 'ohana even more than guests. And for these reasons and more we'll keep returning to this welcoming, beautiful and relaxing condo in paradise.

Nancy was a great host. We had a few questions about the area and choosing activities and her opinions were very helpful. She also accommodated our request too check in a little bit early. Thank you!
The condo is clean and has everything you'd need for a family, including boogie boards in the closet and plenty of dishes/supplies.
The location is nice, across the street from Charlie Young beach. Our family really enjoys snorkeling and if you walk across the street to the beach and walk to the right , there are some snorkeling opportunities. I do like kamaole II beach a little bit better , and it's a short 1/2 mile walk from the property.
Thank you Nancy for your kind hospitality!

This condo was perfect and had everything we need (and more!!) for our vacation. This is not our first time at Maui Vista and this condo is by far the best we rent. Thank you again for your hospitality. I hope we will return soon.

Cozy nest with great location
The pictures and description weren't completely accurate - Nancy and Stafford's place was even more than we could have imagined! We could tell from her fully stocked condo that she goes all the way in making her guests feel at home. The beach towels, boogie boards, beach umbrella, and coolers were super useful at Charley Young Beach, which was just a 5-minute skip and a hop away. Our daughter who's into cooking was awed by just how stocked the kitchen was: modern electric range and full oven; microwave; full-size refrigerator; every cooking utensil imaginable; plastic food containers; and my favorite - Keurig coffee maker. Plus, the location in Kihei was close to some of the best beaches (Maluaka, Makena, Wailea), markets (ABC Mart, Foodland, Safeway), and restaurants (Kihei Caffe, Maui Brewing Co) in Maui, and just 30 minutes to Costco and the airport. One more thing: The pool seems heated! We loved the condo so much, sometimes it was hard to spend time outside! But don't abuse the condo's amenities - treat Nancy and Stafford with the same love and respect they give their condo and guests!
