Just finished a week at Cathy's place and, wow!, the views of the whales and Ma'alaea Harbor from the balcony are amazing! Ma'alaea is such a great area, while a quiet little area, it's a great branching out spot only about 20 minutes from Lahaina, Kihei, and Kahului. The condo was spotlessly clean, and worked perfect for our party of 2. We also enjoyed use of the pool/hot tub! If coming during whale season, don't forget binoculars like we did - we couldn't find them anywhere on the island to buy, but they would have been great to whale watch. We can't wait to stay here again!
