MauiJOY Villa -Heaven on Earth ~PRIVATE Estate OCEAN Views, Swimming pool.
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! Mahalo Nui Loa for your kokua, MauiJOY Teri

Little Slice of Heaven
We just returned from a 2 week stay at Maui Joy. The property was BEAUTIFUL. 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! We truly had a great time and couldn’t have asked for more to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary!

Exceptional Rental and Host
Your host Teri is rated as a Premier host and deservedly so. 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!

Great way to end the year
Stay was great and the perfect way for my wife and in-laws to spend the last two weeks of 2023. The house has two comfortable bedrooms and the grounds are beautiful. The owner keeps a birdfeeder stocked up and the birds are beautiful and wonderful to listen to while soaking up paradise. Location is great to get to great beaches and Kihei or Wailea.

Living the Hawaiian Dream
The first half of our trip we stayed at a high-end rental home in Lahaina. 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

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!

Amazing
Maui Joy is an amazing place with beautiful views of the ocean and Molokini crater. The pool is amazing after a morning of exploring the islands. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. Grocery stores are close by, Wailea, Lahaina and Kehei are fun places to explore and not far. Costco, Target and other 'large chain' type stores are about a 30 minute drive one way.
The house is up on a hill in a quiet neighborhood and you can't see the neighbors due to the amazing lush tropical landscape.
Teri is a fantastic host that makes sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay and is very knowledgeable about the area and has lots of suggestions and tips. 10 out 10 would recommend this place and will totally return!

Perfect House in Paradise
This was a perfect house for our family. The outside lanai area is stunning- the gardens are beautiful and full of fruit bearing trees (best bananas ever), the pool and surrounding patio is the best place to relax, enjoy and listen to the birds. The house layout was great for each of our teens to have their own space but great shared area as well for dinner, TV time etc. Teri is a fabulous host! She was incredibly accommodating of our delayed schedule, willingness to accept packages ahead of time and provision of general knowledge about the island and her home. Beaches are not quite walkable but easy drive/park to beautiful locations. We would stay again 100X over and will recomend to anyone traveling to Maui.

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.

Extended stay in Maui
Mahalo for a wonderful opportunity to stay in your abode. 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.

Gorgeous tropical paradise
I came to Maui with my 2 adult daughters to attend a wedding. I chose MauiJOY as I wanted a more relaxed atmosphere than a hotel and especially our own pool to swim and lounge. The host, Teri, was lovely and so gracious on our arrival as our car rental was severely delayed. The house is beautiful, very clean and neat and is stocked with everything you need. The kitchen is fully stocked, including spices, sugar, coffee :). The grounds are just gorgeous! I loved all the tropical plants surrounding the house and the peaceful lower yard to meditate. The beds were so comfortable, I think I slept better here than I do at home! My favorite part of the day was early morning- sipping coffee on the lanai looking out over the ocean, cool breezes toying with my hair as I listened to the many birds singing and eagerly chatting. with one another. The home is just 7 min from the Four Seasons, where the wedding was held and an easy drive to other locations such as Big Beach, Lahaina and Whaler's Village in Kaanapali. Lots of restaurants and shops close by in Kihei and Wailea. Other members of my family were also on the island for the wedding and my brother and his children came over to BBQ and swim with us. They loved it too and wished they were staying with us. I would highly recommend MauiJOY Villa and look forward to coming back again one day. Thank you Teri for sharing your lovely home! Mahalo!
