~ Aloha from Maui…

Breaking News! 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.

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.”

Maui is more than just a place—it’s a community built on strength, culture, and resilience.

~ Thank you for your interest in Tracy’s Tropical Treasures for your upcoming Maui vacation. we would be honored to assist you and have four (4) different condos to choose from: Tracy’s Tropical Treasures #1, #2, #3, and #4 are all smoke free, legal vacation rentals located in sunny Kihei, Maui.

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. ;)

Onsite, we 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.

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.

~ Totally 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 5% 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.

🤙🤙To sweeten the deal even more, we only charge our guests 14.005% tax not the 18.712% tax all other rentals charge.🤙🤙

~ As an Airbnb Superhost for 46+ consecutive times, we strive for a 5-Star worthy review and aim to make your stay as comfortable and amazing as possible. We are proud to be customer service oriented, and our ultimate goal is to continue earning your business in the future. Our mission is to provide wonderful accommodations so our guests can create beautiful experiences and unforgettable Maui memories.

~ Tracy’s Tropical Treasures #2 provides a romantic and rejuvenating retreat for couples, a safe, convenient, and private location for singles, and a fun, relaxing, and fully stocked getaway for friends. It is family friendly, business friendly, and the perfect choice for that much needed staycation. We pride ourselves with offering A+ amenities and "Over the Top" customer service and curated customer care. We fully understand and truly appreciate that Maui is a once in a lifetime vacation for many travelers. This is all about you making awesome Maui memories doing as much as you want or as little as you desire. We are excited to show you our aloha spirit so you can fully experience the cultural diversity and unique opportunities Maui offers and why Maui is commonly referred to as "Paradise." ;)

~ Welcome to Tracy's Tropical Treasure #2 (Unit 222): the Corner Penthouse where island inspired paint and artsy decor will power your Maui vibe and inspire your creativity, adding a new richness and texture to your life. This condo is a fully loaded, award winning, locally owned and operated, legal vacation rental with tropical vibes.

🤙🤙To sweeten the deal even more, we only charge our guests 14.005% tax not the 18.712% tax all other rentals charge.🤙🤙

~ We are super excited that Tracy's Tropical Treasures were named the #1 Best Vacation Rental in all of Maui for two years. In July, of 2022, we were awarded #1 in all of Kihei for the FOURTH TIME. We take great pride in offering each and every one of our guests out of this world service at down to earth prices. ;)

Corner Penthouse:
* Tracy’s Tropical Treasure #2, the Corner Penthouse, is the perfect choice for your Maui vacation.

~ Location, Location, Location: In less than 300 footsteps (from the front door), you can not only be at the beach but you can actually be in the ocean! ;)

~ The only beach in Maui that used to be reserved for Hawaiian Royalty is directly across the street from the condo (less than 300 footsteps from your front door). It 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 all available at the beach across the street. Do as much as you want or as little as you desire. ;)

~ The National Humpback Museum and Whale Education Center for Maui is just steps away (also directly across the street from the condo). They offer free educational classes and plenty of free, outdoor telescopes so you can get an up close and personal view of the Humpback Whales swimming and jumping in the ocean just in front of the museum. We also provide binoculars right in the condo for your viewing pleasure. :)

The longest beach walk in all of Maui is in Kihei (within 2 blocks from the condo). ;)

I am also very proud that I have been with Airbnb since 2009 and have also been a "Superhost" since the program was created, and have just earned the coveted “Superhost” status for the 33rd consecutive time.

Airbnb is, without a doubt, the best vacation rental platform of all!

~ Don't delay, book today, our guests love it, and we have been Superhosts on Airbnb every single quarter for over 8 years!

~ Super easy and "lightning fast" check in, just enter your "secret code" and open the door. Even faster check out, just close the door behind you. Flight delays and/or late arrivals are never a problem when you stay at Tracy's Tropical Treasures!

~ If your dates are not available, please check the other 3 units we own. They are also listed on Airbnb; TTT #1 of 4 and TTT #3 of 4. In addition, my newest unit, Paradise Awaits You; TTT #4, is also remodeled from top to bottom and fully loaded with an ocean view. I also manage multiple other units at the same complex and throughout Maui, so I’m happy to help with all of your travel needs. ;)

~ Tracy's Tropical Treasures are all owner operated and owner managed, so no middle man management companies involved.

~ Tracy's Tropical Treasure #2: The Corner Penthouse:

~ Experience the ultimate in comfort, luxury, and style with a fully loaded, light and bright, romantic and fun, Maui Corner Penthouse containing a floor area of 665 SF, including an extra large lanai of approximately 210 SF.

~ This is the third largest unit in the whole complex! It is a second story, walk up Totally Private condo with awesome cathedral ceilings and its own private walkway entrance. Please note that because the building has only two stories, there is not an elevator.

~ This luxurious penthouse unit is located right on the corner, so you really only have neighbors on one side. It is in the back of the complex so there is no road noise. This is an extra special unit because there are only two units in the entire condo complex with 3 sets of windows, and this happens to be one of them! Our favorite feature, however, would have to be the extra large, 200+ SF, L-shaped, fully carpeted, wrap around lanai. Again, this is a unique feature that only six units have, all other lanais in the 118 condo complex only have 70 SF of space. Think of this extra special space as an extended living room/dining room/lounge area! There's even an extra fridge outside. It's totally awesome!

~ IN ADDITION, THIS CONDO IS LESS THAN 300 FOOTSTEPS AWAY FROM THE OCEAN, BEACH, AND A BEAUTIFUL PARK WITH FREE PARKING, OUTDOOR PICNIC TABLES, BBQ GRILLS, AND EVEN SHOWERS. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL TRUE PARADISE!!!!

~ Stay in our newly renovated, deluxe Corner Penthouse Studio, and save your hard earned money for fun Maui activities/tours, unique boutique shopping, and fabulous fine dining!

~ Book today, and enjoy $45,000+ in "top to bottom renovations" including top of the line furnishings throughout. Our coastal décor is artsy, trendy, and features stylish, designer, high-end pieces, and top-of-the-line luxury items.

~ In addition, it is fully stocked with everything you will need to completely enjoy your Maui vacation at the best possible price; thus saving you even more money and acknowledging that your time in paradise is precious...

~ We will happily handle the stocking, cleaning, and other important details so that your Maui vacation can be truly special, extra romantic, and extremely relaxing. We have been in the Hospitality Industry for over 25 years, and it's really how we live our lives. Pampering our guests is our number one priority! Please take the time to read our reviews for the proof...

~ RESORT LIKE AMENITIES include a high powered air conditioning system, 4 ceiling fans, keyless entry, Resort quality linens, designer duvet cover, a super comfortable, ultra plush, king sized pillow top mattress (many of my guests say this bed is the BEST BED they have ever slept on!), 100% bed bug protection, pollen protection, and dust mite protection through very expensive and advanced zippered allergen barrier mattress and box spring fabric encasements that are also 100% pesticide and chemical free, tons of fluffy and fresh pillows, two extra large (65” and 46") Samsung Smart, flat screen HDTVs, sparkly granite with under cabinet lighting, glass blocks with rainbow, ambient lighting above kitchen cabinets, romantic mood lighting above the crown molding in both living room and bedroom area. In addition, this unit has one of the largest lanais in the entire complex. For your added comfort, the lanai has a separate refrigerator outside. The condo also comes with high speed wireless internet and two DVD players (including Blu-ray, Netflix, Hulu, other Video Streaming, plus a USB port for playing flash drives). There are over 150 awesome DVD/Blu-ray movies (all genre types, including new releases), a stereo system with Bluetooth capabilities, a CD player, and several Hawaiian Cds, Cable TV, and even a built in digital safe that lets you choose your own code.

~ As a special bonus, you will find a large collection of informative Maui books, an assortment of interesting Maui magazines, several creative & fun card and/or board games, the Special Edition Map Book for Maui County, and a very popular Hana "Road Tour" CD that you can help yourself to during your vacation.

~ We provide plenty of fresh, soft, oversized bathroom and beach towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. You will also find beach chairs, beach bag, pool toys, a beach umbrella, coolers, tennis rackets, tennis balls, yoga mats, a luggage rack, an iron/ironing board, a hair dryer, a fully stocked First Aid Kit, hydroflasks/thermos', and a Sound Soother Machine that features multiple, digital, calming sounds to help you experience maximum relaxation throughout your stay. There is even a special cooler for your car that plugs into your cigarette lighter (keeping everything inside chilled for hours and hours).

~ We happily stock AMPLE dish soap, garbage bags, sponges, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, Qtips, cotton balls, coffee, coffee filters, tea, and hand soap. In addition, we provide "starter kit" supplies in the bathroom and the main kitchen. Upon arrival, you will find 2 fresh rolls of toilet paper and 1 fresh roll of paper towels for the kitchen. This will be enough to get you "started". Our goal by providing "starter kits" for household paper products is to prevent the necessity for you to have to shop for these items during your first couple of days in paradise; after all, you are on vacation. There is also a "Pay It Forward" shelf where guests are welcome to leave their unused, non-perishable grocery items.

The premier location, coupled with the over abundance of amenities we provide, hopefully will make Tracy's Tropical Treasure #2 the Top Choice for your Maui Vacation!

~ I absolutely hate checking into a new place that is not already stocked with supplies, don't you? That will never happen if you stay at Tracy's Tropical Treasure. Save time and money by booking now...

~ I just can't understand why anyone would want to pay triple the price to stay in a cramped hotel room without the convenience of a fully stocked kitchen with full-size appliances. Did you know that almost all hotel rooms in Maui are under 300 square feet?

~ Also, with our 665 square foot penthouse (including an extra large lanai), on-site parking, unlimited AC, cable TV, an in room safe where you choose the code, and unlimited WIFI have already been conveniently factored into your daily rate. There will never be any last minute surprises! Don't you just hate that, I know I do. In Maui, unexpected fees can add up fast, especially when most places charge $25 per day for parking plus additional (hidden) resort fees, and even daily fees for WIFI and the use of the in room safe. Give me a break!

🤙🤙To sweeten the deal even more, we only charge our guests 14.005% tax not the 18.712% tax all other rentals charge.🤙🤙

~ Don't take chances, I've got the place you've been searching for at the best possible price with the least amount of hassle. This is it, folks!

~ Still not convinced....

~ Lots of personal and professional touches have been used as well to enhance the Island atmosphere and we have even proudly partnered up with a local vendor offering Maui activities, adventures, and experiences at incredibly low and affordable prices, saving our guests even more money. Contact information will be shared once your reservation is confirmed. Our activity agent offers highly discounted rates for all of our guests on Luaus, Molokini Snorkeling, Helicopter Tours, Whale Watching, Zip-lining, Parasailing, Jet Skiing, Dolphin Snorkeling, Dinner Cruises, Horseback Riding, Raft Trips, etc. ;)

~ The beach, a nice park, and Maui's only Humpback Whale Education Center (complete with viewing telescopes) are all directly across the street. In less than 300 footsteps from the front door of the condo, you can not only be at the beach, but you can also be having fun in the ocean. How cool is that?

~ In less than 60 steps, you will find a great swimming pool complete with outdoor restrooms, an extra large, outdoor jacuzzi hot tub, a gas barbecue area with sink and picnic tables for casual outdoor dining, an outdoor shower area, tennis courts, and tropical, lush courtyards bearing fruit trees that offer TOTALLY FREE limes, bananas, avocados, and papayas.

~ This condo is situated in a perfectly central location. It is within easy walking distance (less than 2 miles) to everything: shops, restaurants, beaches, public parks, grocery stores, gas stations, kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, wind surfing, fishing, the "Triangle Night Life", medical facilities: you name it! It's all literally around the corner. In addition, you are just minutes away from Wailea, and only 10 miles from the airport in Kahului. For your convenience, there is also a bus stop within 150 feet from your front door.

~ You will be DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET from one of the most popular wind surfing beaches in all of Maui. It's truly a very peaceful and romantic setting which is conveniently located in the back of the complex, away from noisy traffic.

~ Once a regular destination for Hawaiian royalty, Kihei is home to some incredible views and six miles of stunning beaches. In addition, it is a KNOWN FACT that sunny Kihei has the best climate in all of Maui – warm weather year-round with the lowest precipitation on the Island! Kihei is also known as the pivoting point to all Maui activities. With six miles of sun-kissed beaches, it's no secret why Kihei has boomed into the island's largest tourist destination!

~ Your fully equipped, heavily stocked, ultra fabulous gourmet kitchen fit for a chef includes brand new, full size, stainless steel appliances, including a double oven, beautiful, dark, cherry wood cabinetry, under cabinet lighting, and emerald star granite that sparkles in the Maui sun. There is also a microwave, convection oven, plenty of cookware, a coffee maker, a coffee bean grinder, a 4-cup espresso (steam) machine, a French press, a blender, a toaster, a rice maker, a food steamer, a crockpot, a full set of knives, and a variety of BBQ accessories. In addition, basic kitchen supplies including an assortment of coffee, hot teas, salt, pepper, over 20 different spices, and coffee filters can all be found on site.

~ The custom designed bathroom features beautifully tiled walls with hand painted flowers and a fun black and white (checkerboard) tile floor. My favorite feature, however, would have to be the vanity mirror with fluorescent lighting on all four sides. It is the exact same mirror in all the suites at the Four Seasons Manele Bay. You will love it!

~For your convenience, there is also a separate vanity/desk area (adjacent to the bathroom), just in case both people want to get ready at the same time.

~ The very private, extra large, carpeted lanai is totally awesome! For your comfort, it is equipped with a dining table and chairs, two additional tall chairs with full back and foot rests, a very spacious 5 cubic foot refrigerator, two more full-sized, cushioned lounge chairs with an additional table, 3 lamps, plus a 7 foot long teak couch with a plush mattress and plenty of pillows: perfect for resting, reading, catching the sunrise, surfing the internet, or merely just watching the beautiful palm and monkey pod trees gently sway in the refreshing Maui trade winds.

~ Besides the beautiful Kalepolepo Beach, rated 4.5 out of 5 stars, located directly across the street (less than 300 footsteps away), you are also less than two blocks away from another beach, the world famous Sugar Beach – the only five-mile beach walk in all of Maui!

~ Isn't it about time to experience the true feeling of peaceful Hawaii? Well, this is it, folks!

~ At these bargain rates, days are going fast, so please don't wait to pay. Check the calendar and if it's open, please pay right away…that way you are guaranteed your dates. The first one to pay secures the dates, so don't delay, as we experience multiple emails each day.

~ If you have any questions, please feel free to message me anytime. I will answer all questions within 24 HOURS - GUARANTEED!

~ Sorry, but no smoking allowed INSIDE the condo or on the lanai.

~ Also, this Corner Penthouse is limited to no more than two guests.

~ Oh yeah, there is plenty of free parking right outside the front door.

~ Lots of personal and professional touches have been used as well to enhance the Island atmosphere.

~ As a special bonus, daily maid service and/or mid stay cleans are available for an additional fee. All information is conveniently displayed inside the condo.

~ The tropical vibrations of Maui await you...

~ We offer beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella, and a cooler. For hygiene reasons, we don’t provide shared snorkel equipment — Rafael, our activity partner, can arrange guided snorkel tours for you. Additionally, we have many locally owned, rental facilities right in Kihei that offer snorkel equipment.

~ After booking, always remember to consult your local insurance provider about the benefits of travel insurance.

~ If you are traveling with a group, it may be possible to book all 4 of my units in the same complex at the same time. They are all within 100 footsteps, and Tracy's Tropical Treasure #1, #3, and #4 are all next door to each other. :)

~ I am looking forward to speaking with you and sharing my Aloha Spirit. Thank you for taking the time to read my property description!

~ Mahalo nui loa! Malama pono,
Tracy O'Reilly

🤙🤙Why Staying in Kihei Should Be Your Top Choice🤙🤙

Kihei is located on the sunny South side.

Kihei has six miles of Sunkissed beaches.

Kihei is less crowded.

Kihei is considered to be much more “authentic Maui”.

Kihei is more laid back.

The longest beach walk in Maui is in Kihei.

Kihei is more private, intimate, and affordable.

Kihei has the least amount of rain of anywhere on Island and is much more laid back.

Kihei is closer to: Haleakala (hiking), road to Hana, Iao Valley, and the airport.

Kihei is also closer to Paia, Makawao, Upcountry, Kahului, and Maalaea.

Kihei is only 15 minutes from the main airport in Kahului and Kaanapali is an hour.

Kihei (the condo area of the south side) has more family restaurants than the condo area of the west side.

Wailea (the luxury area of the south side) is a quieter area than Kaanapali (the luxury area of the west side).

Higher end resorts like Four Seasons, Andaz, Grand Wailea, and Kealani are all in Wailea which is just 5 miles away from Kihei.

Wailea also has world class golf courses and an award winning spa.

The nicest shopping is also in Wailea (very upscale).

Only one road in and out of the west side and if the road gets shut down due to an accident, you could be trapped. This is just one more reason why I would always choose Kihei.

Neighbourhood highlights

With countless captivating beaches, near-perfect weather year-round, and panoramic views everywhere you look, it’s hard to argue that Hawaii is anything other than a tropical island oasis! The Hawaiian Islands are incredibly unique, unlike anywhere else in the world. That is clearly evident in everything from our breathtaking scenery to our all-encompassing Aloha spirit!

Maui has been voted the "Best Island in the World" for over 23 years. With daytime temperatures ranging from roughly 85 degrees F during the winter, it's easy to see why Maui is such a popular destination choice and the #1 island in the world.

Here’s why I think the South side of the island (where Kihei is located) is the best place to stay. South Maui really has it all! ;)

The sunny South shores of Kihei offer 6 miles of popular, sun kissed beaches with warm, balmy days and cool, tropical nights.

Typically, humidity levels in Kihei are VERY LOW and the annual rainfall in Kihei is LESS than anywhere else on island. :)

Kihei is a sizable beach town with plenty of places to eat and fun things to do. Kihei is definitely the hub for Maui surf lessons and is considered the true pivoting point for all of Maui’s popular outdoor activities.

Most of the accommodation options in Kihei will be condos with full kitchens (enabling you to save even more money if you choose to cook a couple meals at home).

Kihei is definitely less crowded and more affordable than the West side.

The beaches in Kihei are more plentiful, also less crowded, and quite a bit more accessible than those on the West side. You will definitely find more parking and better marked beaches in South Maui. In addition, most of the beaches in Kihei can be seen right from the road and Kihei offers totally free parking unlike the West side. ;)

Kihei is closer to Haleakala (hiking), the road to Hana, Iao Valley, and the airport than the West side.

Kihei is more private, intimate, and affordable than the West side.

Kihei is also closer to Paia, Makawao, Upcountry, Kahului, and Maalaea than the West side.

Kihei has the least amount of rain of anywhere on Island and is more laid back. It is not only drier but it is also sunnier. ;)

Kihei Boat Ramp is only a couple of miles from the condo. There are numerous snorkel and dive excursions that launch from this popular boat ramp every single morning offering options that include exploring the coral reefs at Molokini or swimming with the turtles at Turtle Town.

The only beach in Maui that used to be reserved for Hawaiian Royalty is directly across the street from the condo (less than 300 footsteps from your front door). It 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 all available at the beach across the street. Do as much as you want or as little as you desire. ;)

~ The National Humpback Museum and Whale Education Center for Maui is just steps away (directly across the street from the condo). They offer free educational classes and plenty of free, outdoor telescopes so you can get an up close and personal view of the Humpback Whales swimming and jumping in the ocean just in front of the museum.

The longest beach walk in all of Maui is in Kihei (within 2 blocks from the condo).

Within a few miles from the condo you will also discover additional white sand beaches, fun ocean activities, several parks, loads of restaurants, groceries, shopping, banks, ATM machines, live entertainment, skate parks, basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts, surfing, snorkeling, kayaking, diving, yoga centers, the Kihei Town Shopping Center, the Kihei Boat Ramp, Farmer’s Markets, dance clubs, live music, nightclubs/bars, Craft Fairs, and even several open-air Maui Marketplaces.

Hop in the car at the condo for a very short drive (less than six miles) to three, world class, championship golf courses as well as the popular and breathtaking Wailea resort area offering upscale shopping, incredible sightseeing, and romantic dining options.

Higher end resorts like Four Seasons, Andaz, Grand Wailea, and Kealani are all in Wailea which is just 5 miles South of Kihei. Wailea also has an award winning spa at the Grand Wailea (best spa in Maui).

Wailea is a resort community just south of Kihei that includes several mega beachfront resorts, some nice condo complexes, world class restaurants, and an upscale outdoor mall. The whole area is extremely lush and artistically manicured and looks just like the Hawaii of your dreams. When I’ve driven people down to Wailea after seeing other parts of the island, they’ve said “now THIS is truly PARADISE and what I envisioned all of Maui to look like.” To me, Wailea is the epitome of luxury. ;)

The Shops at Wailea is the nicest shopping center in Maui and it is only 5 miles away from the condo (very upscale).

A few more miles South in the car and you will discover the world renowned Makena area, where many famous people choose to reside.

Lahaina and Ka’anapali (West side) are a one hour drive from the main airport, and Kihei is only 15 minutes. In addition, the condo is only 9 miles away from the main airport in Kahului. ;)

Finally, worth mentioning, is the fact that there is only “one road in and one road out” for the West side of the Island. When that road gets shut down due to a car accident, you will be trapped for hours and hours (sometimes even overnight). This is one more reason why I always choose Kihei over the West side. :)

Maui has been voted the "Best Island in the World" for over 23 years. With daytime temperatures ranging from roughly 85 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter, it's easy to see why Maui is such a popular destination choice and the #1 island in the world.

Aloha from Maui! Congratulations on your decision to book a vacation in sunny Maui, Hawaii; the #1 island in the world for over 25 years. :) I would be honored to help you choose accommodations in Maui that fit your needs, desires, and budget. As a full-time resident on Maui for over 15 years, I am very familiar with all that this wonderful Island has to offer. I absolutely love my job as both an owner and property manager of vacation rentals on Maui. The fact that I get to help others plan their Hawaiian vacation and/or relocation to the magical island of Maui is literally the icing on top of the cupcake! If you are wanting to purchase property on Maui, I am a licensed realtor in the State of Hawai'i, own a property management company in Maui, and am also a certified Home Staging Expert. I would love to speak with you and answer any questions you might have about vacation rentals on Maui. In addition to managing lots of amazing properties directly across the street from the awesome, sun kissed beaches of south Maui, I am also the proud owner of my own vacation rentals. The condos I own are called Tracy’s Tropical Treasures. They are listed on Airbnb as Tracy's Tropical Treasure #1 (Ocean View), Tracy's Tropical Treasure #2 (Corner Penthouse), Tracy's Tropical Treasure #3 (Ocean View), and my newest addition, Paradise Awaits You! Tracy's Tropical Treasure #4 (Ocean View, Central A.C., and double pane windows, so no road noise inside the condo). *Tracy’s Tropical Treasure #3 and Paradise Awaits You! Tracy's Tropical Treasure #4 both house up to 4 guests. :) Tracy’s Tropical Treasures were Named the #1 Vacation Rentals in all of Maui in 2016. In November, 2019, I was RANKED #1 again. ;) In July of 2022, I was ranked #1 in Kihei for the fourth time. I have worked very hard for these achievements and on every single occasion, it was one of the best days of my life when I received confirmation that I had won the award. I look forward to speaking with you, helping you with your Maui vacation/relocation, and sharing my ALOHA spirit. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years, and it's really how I choose to live my life. Pampering guests is my #1 priority! * With well over 1000 bookings on the 4 rentals I personally own, I am extremely proud and take great pride in the fact that I have so many wonderful reviews. Please feel free to check out all the reviews on Airbnb for the proof. Customer Service is very important to me! I am also very proud that I have been with Airbnb since 2009 and have also been a "SUPERHOST” since the program was created. In July of 2022, I earned Superhost status for the 33rd consecutive time. Airbnb is, without a doubt, the BEST vacation rental platform of all! When Airbnb was first created, I was one of only eight listings in all of Maui. My claim to fame is that Brian Chesky, himself, actually called me. Brian is one of the three Airbnb founders. Back then, I had also listed my car on Airbnb, and Brian said I was the first person to ever list a car on his platform. He thought it was interesting, and we had a very nice telephone conversation. By the end of 2020, Maui had over 18,000 vacation rental listings. The Airbnb platform has grown exponentially. I am truly honored to be a part of it all; both as an owner and as a property manager and will continue to tell everyone how wonderful Airbnb is for hosts and travelers alike. Everybody, no matter where they are, can live ALOHA. Maui is a great way to unlock the positive spirit within all of us..... Make it a great day! Tracy O'Reilly R(S) ~ Owner of Tracy’s Tropical Treasures #1 through #4 (these are my personal vacation rentals which were Named the #1 Vacation Rentals in all of Maui for both 2016 and 2019, and then named #1 in Kihei in July of 2022 for the fourth time) ~ Hawai’i Realtor (Licensed on all Islands) License #73694 ~ Property Manager/Island Contact for other vacation rentals in South Maui
