You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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!

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.

Anniversary and Birthday Trip
We have been to Maui a few times and this is our favorite place to stay. So peaceful and quiet, which is what we wanted. We just wanted to relax and decompress from everything and this is the perfect place to do it at. Teri was an awesome host and so very sweet. We will be back.

Beautiful relaxing stay
We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and the view. House is very well equipped, had everything we needed during our stay. Great location to stay in or go shopping. We spent most of our time relaxing in and by the pool, but ventured out a few days as well, drives were reasonable time away. Teri was helpful, we enjoyed visiting with her. Lovely week, would have loved to stay longer, or make a return trip.

Best spot in Maui
You can't go wrong at Terri's lovely hillside home overlooking gardens & ocean. Location is perfect for south beach and restaurant access. Terri's hospitality goes above and beyond all expectations. Her home is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Enjoy!

Wonderful week
My family of 5 had a wonderful stay at MauiJoy. We really enjoyed the grounds, including the pool, the beautiful flowers, fruit trees, and plants, lizards, etc. The home had everything we needed and then some. 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.

"Heaven on Earth" Indeed!
Perfect spot for our whole family of six! SO glad that we decided to stay here instead of trying to squeeze into a resort room. The views were OUT OF THIS WORLD! The pictures do not do it justice. Teri was pleasant and accommodating, responding promptly with any question or need we had. You will NOT regret booking your stay here. Can't wait to go back!!

60th Birthday Celebration
This was the perfect spot to celebrate 60 years on this planet. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, well stocked kitchen, and our own pool! It doesn't get much better than that. The host lives on the property, per law, so she's available, if needed. There is a wonderful view, lots of beautiful birds, and cute little geckos! We can't wait to come back again.

Maui Joy finally!
After 2 Covid-19 reschedules, we finally got to Maui Joy. What a place! Great accommodations, great views, fresh cut bananas, and a special landlord Teri! We thoroughly enjoyed our week of pool, sun, and excursions. Teri was very knowledgeable of the area and provided good information on where to go for groceries, restaurants, shopping, and sightseeing. We truly enjoyed the week and would definitely return to Maui Joy for another vacation.

Amazing Stay Above Wailea
Stayed here with my family of 4. Could not be happier! 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!!

Amazing view, beautiful home and location is perfect!
What an amazing vacation we had! Our family loves Maui and to find such a special hidden Gem of a home to enjoy while we were there was so special. The home is so relaxing, clean and has everything you will need for your stay. The pool and very was absolutely what we were looking for. My teens prefer having the pool to ourselves and being able to relax. The flowers, gardens, trees and birds really helped you enjoy the tropical surroundings. Thank you to the owner for making this stay so special. We will be back!

Aptly named - MauJoy! We'll be back.
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. Bruce & Janice from Alberta Canada Mahalo Teri!

Stunning luxury in the Aloha Way
What a magical spot! I have stayed in Maui Meadows many times and this was by far my best experience! Teri has created a true Hawaiian experience with all the beauty you would hope to find living on Maui. The views are amazing, the home is comfortable and clean and easy to move right into! 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! Much Ma-halo Teri and Ahui-Ho

Amazing Romantic Getaway
Two things make this property amazing: the view and the communication with the Owner. While we understand from other reviews that families like this property too we must say that as a newly married couple seeking some alone time this was a magnificent stay. The pool overlooks a private backyard and there are no neighbors on either side who have visibility into the property - so it is like you are on your own little island on an island. The grounds are beautiful and private. There is A/C which is great for the warm afternoons and a fully stocked kitchen with all tools needed. We will gladly stay here again.

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.

Best vacation house we have ever had!!
Mauijoy was absolutely amazing!! 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!

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!

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.

Peaceful Paradise
Maui Joy Villa made our vacation absolutely perfect! 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!
