Iconic, cultural, and beautiful Maui is back in business. We are proud to be welcoming guests to our legal vacation rental which has a full kitchen and is far more affordable than the pricey hotels and resorts. Thank you in advance for showing your support by visiting Maui as tourism remains the only significant economic engine across our Island. Locals rely on visitors to continue operating their Maui businesses. We truly look forward to showing you our Aloha spirit.<br /><br />On October 21, 2025, National Geographic included Maui on its ‘Best of the World 2026 List,’ calling a trip to the island “an investment in the island’s future.” <br /><br />Maui is more than just a place—it’s a community built on strength, culture, and resilience.<br /><br />~ Aloha, and Welcome to Maui Whispering Palms, Unit 249, a smoke free, legal vacation rental located in sunny Kihei. <br /><br />The location is ideal! The only beach in Maui that was once reserved for Hawaiian Royalty is less than 300 footsteps (from the front door of your condo to the edge of the ocean)! This is a very popular beach for canoeing, kite surfing, viewing sea turtles and whales, or simply basking in the sun. Picnic tables, grilling areas, free parking, and outdoor showers are also available at this beach. Do as much as you want or as little as you desire. The National Humpback Museum and Maui's only Whale Education Center are also on this same beach, just steps away from the condo. Both places offer free educational classes and plenty of free, outdoor telescopes so you can get an "up close and personal view" of the Humpback Whales as they swim, jump, and play in the ocean just in front of the museum. ;) <br /><br />We also offer a pool, jacuzzi, outdoor showers and outdoor bathrooms at the pool, a BBQ area with picnic tables, a laundry center, very strong WIFI and fast internet speeds for online working (we have the highest, upgraded package), plus lots of fruit trees and beautiful, tropical, fragrant flowers. <br /><br />We are also one of the only complexes on Maui with a really nice tennis court right onsite. We are happy to welcome tennis players who are die hard about having a place to hit where they can also swim, eat, relax, and play. Tennis rackets and tennis balls are included inside the condo. <br /><br />~ For your convenience, there is a coin and credit card operated laundromat on site with 20 full-size machines. Please note that we do not provide laundry detergent as it's a personal preference item.<br /><br />~ We are so excited that this condo has earned “Superhost Status”, the coveted “Top Guest Favorite” badge, and the even rarer “Golden Trophy” badge which means this listing is ranked in the Top 10% of all Guest Favorites in Maui. “Guest Favorites” are a collection of the most-loved homes on Airbnb, according to guests. “Guest Favorites” are based on ratings, reviews, and reliability data from over half a billion trips. These special homes feature a badge in both search and on the listing details page. It is the highest award a property can receive. If you want to find an Airbnb you’ll love, just look for Airbnbs that other guests love. We hope our track record on Airbnb will prove that guests really enjoy staying here and that you are in excellent hands if you choose this listing.<br /><br />~ As an Airbnb Superhost for 40+ consecutive times, we strive for a 5-Star worthy review and aim to make your stay as comfortable and amazing as possible.

This is just one more reason why I would always choose Kihei.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />390011070108, TA-033-861-0176-01
