My husband and I were looking for a special rental for our dive vacation in Maui and we hit the jackpot with Maui Joy! We are neither condo nor chain hotel people and since we would be diving daily, preferred to not break the bank at a luxury hotel. After days of searching, we found Maui Joy, reserved, and to our delight, it exceeded our expectations! Located in an upscale yet eclectic neighborhood up mountain near Wailea, the property is delightfully lush and filled with with flowering plants, coconut palms, mango, banana and many other varieties of tropical foliage. We rented the one bedroom unit and couldn’t have been happier. The large bedroom had an extremely comfortable king mattress, plenty of surfaces to lay out luggage and a large closet with many hangers and two comfy robes. The kitchen was well equipped and also included a new and efficient washer/dryer. The living room was comfortable and the extensive book collection provided a wide choice of literature and travel guides. TV included multiple streaming services. The interiors were clean and well maintained.
But possibly the best part was the private pool and magnificent ocean view with Kaho’olawe, Molokini, Lanai and West Maui all part of the panorama. Not to mention the magnificent night sky with more stars then we’ve ever seen.
The location is very private, with no neighbors in view, and extremely quiet.
If needed, there is a connected (larger) one bedroom suite with kitchen, bathroom, living room - making the entire rental perfect for two couples or a family.
Teri (manager/owner) lives on site and was so very gracious and hospitable, always seeing and responding to our every need.
If you are looking for an exceptional and specialty experience in Maui that combines privacy, comfort and authenticity, Maui Joy is it!
