Detailed Background Information:: You will have the peaceful sound of the ocean crashing ashore just 50 feet from your fully-equipped, lighted lanai; a restful sound that resonates throughout the spacious living and dining areas. You will breathe in the gorgeous unobstructed daytime view of all of Maalaea Bay, Molokini crater crescent, Kihei, and Mount Haleakala. Stunning sunrises over Mount Haleakala (for those few willing to get up at that hour, it is worth it). The evenings are just as special; enjoy the soft romance of warm breezes, the tiki-torch-lit shoreline, the sight of a Clear Moon-Rise over majestic Mount Haleakala, the light shimmering across the bay. You will appreciate this one-of-a-kind location. Our Maalaea Bay Home is on the one and only residential street in Maalaea Harbor; it is called Hauoli (Hawaiian for happy or delightful) Street. Enjoy strolling down this quiet tree-lined street, listening to the birds, and inhaling the delicate fragrance of plumeria blossoms.

At the end of the road is Heycraft Park, just a short walk from our home. This is where you will either enjoy swimming in sparkling clear waters or start your walk along four miles of beautiful, uncrowded, sandy beach bordering the Kealia National Wildlife Refuge. (1/4 mile walk, or drive since there is parking) It was established in 1992 and is home to endangered native water birds, and hosts migratory ducks and shorebirds in fall, winter, and spring. This refuge provides 700 acres of some of the last remaining natural wetland habitat in the State of Hawaii. Kealia Pond is nearly 250 acres when full. The refuge is adjacent to Kealia Beach, which is a nesting ground for the endangered hawksbill turtle.

More than 31 species of birds, such as the endangered Hawaiian stilt (ae'o) and coot ('alae ke'oke'o), and migrant waterfowl and shorebirds such as the Pacific golden plover use this refuge. You can approach from your walk along the ocean, or use the roadway to access an interpretive kiosk and boardwalk along the beach and refuge mudflats. In summer months, the Refuge Pond shrinks, and many more shorebirds congregate here to take advantage of food exposed as the pond recedes. As the pond shrinks, fish are crowded into the remaining water, making them easy prey for black-crowned, night herons ('auku'u). Within the Maalaea Bay community of condominiums, Our Maalaea Home stands out as an outstanding facility with well-groomed grounds. Barbecue is a delightful experience, with 3 grills just on the shoreline. Relax in the large pool, while enjoying the view of the crashing waves. Back at our home, you will find everything spotlessly clean and completely furnished for all of your needs.
