A PRIVATE ESTATE where you will experience Comfort, Ease, Quality, Carefree, Private, Relaxing, Heaven on Earth. Our permit number is BBKM 2014/0004. We believe in the Malama Hawaii program where visitors are respected as Ohana "family" and they in turn respect the aina (place) and it's people as Ohana. We are Fully air-conditioned! Each room has it's own controls. Located on a half an acre of land, adjacent to thousands of undeveloped acres and above the hustle and bustle of the resorts of Wailea, including The Four Seasons, The Grand Wailea with many great restaurants nearby, The MauiJOY Villa has a 180 degree ocean views of three islands, with a large private swimming pool. The luch tropical landscaping provides privacy, allowing our guests to go clothing optional. This is the perfect Private Spa getaway as only ONE party can reserve this property at a time, so when you reserve the MauiJOY Villa, (Heaven on Earth) you will have the privacy of the pool to yourselves. (The pool can be completely enclosed with a removable security fence for toddlers). Two large Bedrooms, each is equipped with king sized very comfortable bed with premium linens. Each bedroom has light and sound blocking curtains too in case the birds are too loud for you. The second master bath, with granite counter top, jacuzzi tub, also has a walk-in tiled shower accommodated for senior. (We can add a single futon or full sized baby crib and Travel Evanflo Deluxe Suite Koi that rolling play pen in either of the bedrooms.) Both bedrooms have tropical garden views with cool breezes that come in from the top of Haleakala (The islands dormant volcano that rises above Maui at 10,023 ft.) There is a very large outdoor shower beneath the banana trees where you can shower off after the beach or swim in the pool or like some of our guests perfer to use it only. There are beautiful ocean views from the living area and dining/kitchen areas. Everything you need to enjoy a stress free vacation is here, from your morning smoothie using the latest Vitamixer, the large four burner barbecue, dishes, premium linens, luxury bathrobes, beach chairs/towels, free high speed wifi internet and free movies using our streaming services Hulu, Pandora, Amazon Prime. (We love kids so have little chairs, beach toys, games, floats, umbrellas and a portable high chair) The Kitchenette/TV/Sitting room has a large refrigerator, a washer /dryer and 40' Smart Flat Screen TV and is located off pool side for your convience while using the barbecue. The MauiJOY Villa has been a favorite spa retreat for two couples to share and families with children. The kids love the pool! Our favorite massage therapist will bring her table and you can get a relaxing massage poolside or beneath the mango tree in the lower gardens. There is a massage table located in the guest suite bedroom for your use. The MauiJOY Villa has breathtaking views of the ocean and full South Western night skies. Lush tropical landscaping affords property privacy. The lower garden, also with ocean views, is a perfect meditation or yoga/pilates spot, and there are also various organic fruit trees including Mango, Papaya, Guava, Strawberry Guava, Tangerines, Oranges and Passion fruit vines for your morning smoothies. There are many love birds I have rescued that visit our feeder along with finch, sparrow, and two species of cardinals, to name a few. If you enjoy bird watching, this is a good spot for that too. In fact, love birds who fly freely in our gardens may even stop to say 'aloha'. Our Axis deer actually "bark" and you may hear/see them on the adjacent vacant land. Sit by your private pool and watch the whales play from December to May. You can actually watch them from the lanai (we have binoculars, however you may want to bring your own for boat trips) and the activity can be seen from here. We have our own drinking water filters in the kitchens so no need to buy plastic water bottles, We encourage you to bring your re-fillable water bottles. We have plenty of shopping bags/ cooler bags for your use. The County of Maui is now discouraging any type of sunscreen that is NOT labled "reef safe" as our corals are being affected by the ingredients in sunscreen. We do recycle as much as possible here too with recycling bins. New Year's eve is spectacular with views of the resort fireworks as well. Many house guest have called this 'Heaven on Earth' and we are so grateful to be here on Maui No Ka Oi. We, (MauiJOY and staff), invite you to spend your time with us to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy our sanctuary. Away from the crowded resorts, your private mini resort. Please let us know of any special request and we will do our best to make this your best vacation ever!

We were astounded at the beauty of the gardens with endless flowers. We spent most of our time on the patio admiring the view of ocean below and the gardens. The bed was extremely comfortable. There are two large bedrooms and two bathrooms. The house was actually more spacious than what we anticipated from the photos. Communication with the owner and housekeeper was flawless. Some of the nicest resorts on Maui are down the hill including Grand Wailea, Four Seasons, and The Fairmont. We ate at Nobu at the Grand Wailea and loved it. Pricey but amazing. We super enjoyed the Te Au Moana Luau at the Marriott. A fantastic cultural experience! ##### Ginger S. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sara R.

We were specifically looking for a little seclusion and privacy, but everything we wanted or needed was close by, so it was a great location. Teri was always there when we needed anything and very quick to respond, before and during our trip. A big thank you to Teri for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The beds were comfortable, and the A/C units worked well to keep us cool at night. We loved the quiet location away from the busy tourist areas but close enough that a short drive took us to the beaches, restaurants, and shops. ##### Elizabeth G.

Loved having our own pool to play in day or night, the jacuzzi tub, the multitude of birds and lizards that kept everyone entertained, the fresh bananas and mangoes, grill, games, the list goes on and on. Once settled we rarely had to travel out, except to collect groceries and go on little day trips. Big beach is only a short drive away and local snorkeling is awesome. When we’re back on Maui, we’ll be sure to return to Maui Joy!! ##### Heather T. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina P.

This was our fifth time in Maui and we wanted to try something new and different than a condo complex.What a great decision and wonderful time at the MauiJOY.! So relaxing to have our own lovely pool and lanai and the wide open views. The hospitality was great and Teri was always helpful and fun to be with. Feels like we made a friend as well as found a great place to stay. Here's the proof - we've booked for almost three weeks next year and already looking forward to our return visit.

Fruit trees everywhere, gorgeous love birds singing to you daily and the pool is perfect.It over looks the Pacific with full views of Molokini and Kahoolawe with the magnificent Haleakala in the background!

We would recommend this place to our closes family and friends and to anyone who is looking for a peaceful place to be with family. This place beats any hotel and resort by a landslide and we are so happy that we chose this over anything else. If you are looking for a place to be with your family, private swimming pool, nature at your doorstep, various Hawaiian fruit trees, and being close to beaches, then this is the place you should be at. The drive to the beach was about 5 minutes away. So convenient. Terri was also a very nice host and easily approachable. She gave us tips on where to visit that only the locals know about. This turned out to be one of our best family vacations mainly because of this MauiJoy villa! We will definitely be returning! ##### RANDI M.

A warm Aloha greeting with leis greeted us upon arrival. ( something we don't see in our vacation club stays ) Your home was private, warm, and inviting offering all the conveniences of home. We didn't need anything except for coffee, ice cream and some groceries. What an awesome treat to experience living Maui in a mountain side neighborhood. The pool and views of the water were heaven. Conveniences to Wailea and Kihei providing treats to local foods and sights made the time pass even faster. Monkeypod, shaved ice, fat daddys and more provided fabulous food enjoyment. You can't go wrong with Terri's home to recharge your batteries. ##### Cecile S. Stayed 5 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny F. Jan 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### MauiJoy We had a great time staying at MauiJoy! Teri, (host/owner) is so thoughtful and helpful. Gave us tons of advice well in advance so we could make reservations at popular spots in time. This is thus far the best VRBO we have stayed at in terms of ensuring every possible thing we could need was already on site at the house for our stay apart from groceries. And the views! Watching whales with our binoculars frolic in the Pacific was amazing. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Location is perfect. Short drive to beaches, restaurants, shopping etc. New Year’s fireworks watched from pool deck/lanai were fantastic. Rented full house which allowed each teenager (3) to have own bed (one was sofa bed in living room). Can’t wait to go back! Definitely 5 stars! ##### Jenny F.

When we weren't out exploring the island, shopping, or snorkeling, This beautiful house was a relaxing respite from all our activities. It was exceptionally clean and well appointed with everything we could possibly have needed. The lushness of the gardens were truly a wonderful and constant background to this gem of an oasis. And the views? All I can say is, how can you beat views of the mountains behind, and the ocean in front?!?! Teri was always there, answering any questions we had, quickly and thoroughly. And all the little daily things she did, such as leaving fresh mangos for us, meant a lot! Teri's home is a true oasis. My husband, 16 year old daughter and her cousin stayed. The girls absolutely loved it at Maui Joy and on the island of Maui. We all enjoyed ten days of pure bliss, staying at the Maui Joy Villa! ##### Melinda G.

Jul 4, 2016 #### Good house; overbearing owner We rented both bedrooms of this house. The pool was great and the views were fantastic. The owner had a pack and play for our one year old and purchased a booster seat during our stay. These are all the positives. The negatives, for us, far out weighted any positives. The owner continually intruded in our enjoyment of the property. We would be sitting by the pool and she would appear. One day she entered the property we had rented from her to turn off the air conditioning. She sleeps in her office which is the front room of this house. She is extremely intrusive. I told her she should take the property off of vrbo and put it on other sites where people expect constant interaction with the owner. I have rented through vrbo for the last fifteen years. I have never had such an intrusive owner in all my one hundred rentals. I hope this review is a warning for all potential renters. She will be a big part of your reality if you rent her place. If you are like us and want to rent a home for only your pleasure, this house is not for you. ##### GERALD J. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra R.

We spent the second half in Kihei at Heaven on Earth/Teri’s place. So our first rental was very nice but felt a little sterile to me. I think my daughter summarized the difference between the two very succinctly. She said the first place felt like we were “visiting Maui.” Teri’s place felt like we were “LIVING Maui.” Being up on a hill, the views, sunsets and evening stars will take your breath away…the birds sing happily all day long and the abundant fruit trees and flowers overwhelm the senses. The pool/lanai were enjoyed daily. We loved the new hot/cold outdoor shower as well. And the mangoes we picked were so sweet, juicy and tastes slightly of coconut—so yummy! Our stay was comfortable and our host Teri was warm, friendly & nearly always available- so much so that we joked about being soul sisters….we all loved our time here, felt like no one else was around (extremely private) and truly felt like heaven on Earth. I’d love to move to Maui someday ( big dream I know) and have a slice of heaven just like Teri’s. It’s been a couple of days since we left Maui…I feel this huge emptiness inside, missing the serenity, peace and wholeness I felt while staying at Teri’s place….I am eager to return soon. Already. Thank you, Teri, for sharing your home, stories and recommendations… and for you sharing your love and care with us all ##### Debra R. Stayed 8 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Q. Jun 10, 2019 #### Our Home Away From Home Upon arriving on the property, we instantly were greeted by the chirping of many different species of birds. The yard is covered in beautiful vibrant colored plants and flowers. We booked the whole home, as two families were staying, and it was perfect. There was enough room where we felt we had enough privacy between families. My family consisted of 2 adults and 2 children, ages 2 and 4, we were placed in the master bedroom that connects to another room with a kitchenette and bathroom. In the smaller room with the kitchenette, Teri, so thoughtfully, converted the futon into a bed and set up a queen sized inflatable mattress for them, which they would swap every other night, for fun. The other family consisted of 2 adults and a one-year-old, who comfortably stayed in a large bedroom with a crib. The kitchen was stocked with many spices and seasonings, that we really didn't need to purchase many others. There were kitchen gadgets and tools galore. Staying on the property, you can really see the effort made by Teri in making guests feel as comfortable as possible. My husband, who has a hard time sleeping at places other than his home, was surprised at how comfortable he was and was able to rest at night. I enjoyed the cozy robes, after a nice shower, and the large selection of books Teri has. It was always the perfect end to my evening. The swimming pool and the fruit trees in the garden were the cherries on top, at the property. We were fortunate enough to taste a few mangoes from the tree, since most were not ripe yet. DELICIOUS! This place was truly our home away from home and I pray we will return again someday. ##### Elizabeth Q. Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh M. Nov 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Covid Getaway Our family of 5 was able to negotiate the Covid hoops and stayed here during the week of Thanksgiving. The best way to summarize our experience with this house is that instead of heading down to the beach, my wife and 2 of our kids preferred stay and play in the pool and enjoy the amazing views from the lanai (patio) instead of going to the beach on all but one day while we were there. The property location is perfect with just a short drive to Kihei and Wailea for groceries or to have food delivered. While the rest of our family relaxed at the pool, my son and I could pop down to Kihei to rent gear and do some shore diving (Ulua Beach ~7 min.; Mekena Landing ~10 min.) and easily be back for lunch. The property's expansive views (my wife's favorite feature of the house) are amazing and a perfect location for morning coffee or evening sundowners. From the top lanai and pool area you can see all the way from West Maui, Lanai and down to Molokini (the latter being slightly obscured by neighbor's trees). Behind and below the pool, which is just off the lanai, is a large tree covered yard with even more impressive views of Molikini and Kaho'olawe. The pool itself was a bit chilly but once in you got used to it quickly. The house has a large amount of pool toys and floaties too. The lanai has a large table, nice lighting, couch/chairs/coffee table and lounge seating. There's also a large clean gas grill and grilling utinsels which we used several times. Additionally Teri, the owner, puts out bird feed every morning and we could sit and watch love birds, java sparrows, cardinals and many others throughout the day. We even saw a mongoose sneaking up on the birds. The house itself was perfect for our family of 5, with my teenage daughter having her own studio with futon, bathroom, larger tv and kitchenette (unused). You can get to this connected apartment through one of the bedrooms or an entrance from the patio. The main house has two rooms with kings, and an open plan living room (with small tv and pull out couch) , dining room and kitchen. The dining room has great views, though we ate outside on the large patio table almost exclusively. The kitchen and bathroom were extremely well stocked. There are plenty of books and card/board games available. Teri was excellent, not obtrusive at all, and ensured we had everything we needed. She also graciously allowed us to stay a few hours past checkout because of our late flight. Highly Recommended! ##### Josh M. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kari C.

She was so helpful from the day we booked and throughout our entire stay. We contacted her source to have the house stocked with everything we needed when we arrived and we settled into Aloha immediately. Teri is also an amazing woman to get to know should you care to engage in conversation with her. Having said that, she respects your privacy and will communicate via text, checking on anything you might need or you can text her with any questions. We left having felt like we made a new friend. My wife and I wanted to find the perfect place to celebrate our 50th anniversary and Maui Joy was the bulls eye. Knowing this, Teri had a bouquet of beautiful fresh local exotic flowers to welcome us and kept them fresh the entire stay, even adding to them. The house is as shown in the pictures; there were no unexpected surprises. The house is well appointed with everything we needed to settle in. The outdoor living space is spectacular and we spent the majority of our time outdoors, either at or in the pool, sitting at the comfortable covered living space overlooking the pool or the lower yard which provided great late afternoon shade shade and the perfect place for cocktail hour. Exceptional dining is a short drive away as are great beaches. She has all the beach gear, no need to rent. With a stocked fridge, music, bathroom etc, we spent several days home around the pool. Aloha prevailed! Yes, we will return to Aloha! ##### Robert L.
