We had a great trip. Overall the place did the job for us. Beautiful view and nice property. Good location a short walk or drive away from anything needed. I’d stay here again. Good cross breeze in the bedroom which is important wifi no a/c in the unit.

Absolutely stunning oceanfront view from the lanai, tons of sea turtles grazing on the sea wall (put the aquarium to shame), it had everything we needed. This was our first trip to Maui with a toddler, and we ended up spending a lot more time at the condo than on previous trips. I cannot stress enough how much we appreciated the view and amenities (we were pleasantly surprised to find smart TVs, seasonings, rice cooker etc.),
especially traveling with a little one. We enjoyed most of our meals (take out or grilled/ made at the condo) from the lanai. The beach chairs, umbrella and cooler were all in mostly great condition (built in chair cooler zippers were corroded shut, but that always happens with those chairs so no big deal). Ran a load of laundry (quarters or app for payment) once during our 10 night stay and it was a breeze, did not miss having an in unit W/D. Loved the proximity to our favorite beaches and the relaxed atmosphere of Kahana.
My only suggestions, which
were not brought to managements attention, because they didn't significantly impact our stay:
- curtains should be replaced, and blackout curtains should be in the bedroom (very bright covered exterior walkway lights)
- shower liner should be replaced
- unit could use a deep clean
Again, none of these things impacted our stay and they weren't brought to managements attention, because they just weren't that big of a deal to us.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay and hope to stay here again!

We enjoyed staying here for two weeks! The crown jewel of this property is the view. The complex is quiet and respectful. The side beach access was a wonderful surprise bonus, and the pool was great for the kids. The unit provided plenty of lawn chairs, a cooler, and umbrella for use.
Our bed was comfortable and the unit was relatively clean, however, I can’t say I’ve ever been asked to provide my own cleaning products to care for someone else’s investment so that was a bit strange. They did have a broom and vacuum cleaner, and dish soap.
One of the two things we truly disliked about this stay was the light filtering into the bedroom from the exterior (complex) hallway. If you need a dark room to sleep, an eye mask is an absolute must. The other thing—if you intend to cook— was that the pots and pans are awful. The nonstick is so scratched up and no amount of butter or oil could help the metal pans. I did not complain to the host or give him a chance to fix this, but hopefully he will.
Otherwise, very good communication from the host! I would stay here again knowing what I know now with a little extra prep.

Nice quiet location. We watched whales, turtles and beautiful sunsets from the lanai every day. The chairs, umbrella and towels for the beach were really nice to have available. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

For the sounds of the waves on the balcony alone, this place could win a Grammy. For the view from the balcony, it could win an Oscar.

View is amazing. Molokai directly in front frames the absolutely beautiful sunsets. Large balcony is 60 feet from the water. Turtles frolic all day in the water in front of unit. Low key neighborhood, quiet and does not feel crowded like Kaanapali which is a 5 min drive away. Easy parking and nice grills outside to use. Grounds very well maintained. Very clean unit, not updated but bed is good and appliances all work. Good TV and great internet. Little warm at night in August with no AC but we adjusted quickly. Greatly enjoyed and would highly recommend.

If this property is available for your stay in Maui, just book it, it’s a no-brainer! You’ll have a beautiful view on the ocean, a calm apartment (both during the day and at night), a clean and practical place and a strategic location in West Maui close to Lahaina and tons of beaches. The owner is highly responsive and was very helpful when we had a little trouble finding the place (hint if ever you’re jet lagged and arrive at night: don’t hesitate to open the metal door of the appartement to access the condo.) We are a family of four who stayed there for a week and if ever we’re lucky enough to go back to Maui one day, we’ll book again for sure!

The view is just amazing and the location is good if you want to stay on the west part of the island. Outside facilities was clean and work well. A bit old inside with the carpet but everything was clean. Thanks!

I saw turtles swimming right in front of our balcony and the view was great. Wave is normally too strong for small children but within few minutes there are many spots to snorkel. I never was able to log onto the app they instructed me to log on and also my parking permit never arrived but I did not get parking ticket. Also I do believe iron mesh door needs to be replaced. It locks but unlocking is difficult. It gives nice breathe if I keep
Door open and iron door shut. Also refrigerator is loud so I think it needs to be replaced. If it starts leaking, it’s a bad news. Other than that, loved the sofa bed I slept in sometimes watching stars and ocean. Thank you for good price as well.

The location is very convenient to go to Kannapali or to Kapalua. The ocean view from the balcony is amazing as you look over at Molokini; we ate most of our meals and had sunset drinks out there. As others have mentioned, this unit needs a little updating, such as a fresh coat of paint, but you can't beat the location and view. So lovely that we hope to return!

The condo is as the picture shows and described. The condo is very clean. It has a gorgeous view at the balcony. There's a beach right next to us. There are stores near by if we need to buy anything. I loved it, I highly recommend this location to anyone that is looking for a decently low price condo in Maui. I will definitely rebook for my next maui trip.

We stay for a week as a family of 4. The condo has everything we needed to stay comfortably, even beach chair and umbrella to bring to the beach. The beds (even the sofa bed) are comfortable. We see turtles right outside of our condo. Best of all, stunning views.

This place was perfect for my wife and I. We had coffee with a great view and then champagne with a great view. The place was clean. Neighborhood had restaurants and beaches to walk to. Could snorkel or paddle board right in front of the condo. I’d come back in a heart beat. Great service too with check in and check out.

We stayed 2 weeks at this very quite condo. It was very nice to see the ocean each morning. Everything was as seen on pictures and was very clean.
It is very outdated and a lot of things were very old but for the price and it being clean we were not worried about it. If your looking for something fancy you would be paying double so we were happy.

Enjoyed the location! Easy to snorkel right off the property! About an hour from most major events. Quiet, easy to access. Would definitely stay again!

This condo was perfect for our first-ever trip to the Hawaiian Islands. It was as advertised and was in a great location for touring and sightseeing in Maui. But the best thing of all was the amazing view form the lanai. I will not forget that view!

We have had a very enjoyable two week stay at Kahana Reef.
There was no on site management of the property. As far as checking in and getting access, it is all done via phone or email. I was not impressed with the process. On first contact, on arrival day, I was told the unit was not ready and that I would be contacted when it was. I finally called back after 4PM because I had not been called. The same person I spoke with earlier then told me the unit was ready. He hadn't bothered to check on the unit and let us know.
That being said, the location could not be better, with direct ocean view. The lanai has updated furnishings, including a highboy table and two chairs, so the view is unobstructed by the rail.
The kitchen is very nice with a new dishwasher and cabinet fronts. The vanity and cabinets in the bathroom have also been updated.
Although there is no AC in the unit, we left the lanai slider open along with the front door, as there is a security screen. We also left the high bedroom windows open, which allowed for the breeze flowing through the unit.
Perhaps soon, the living room furnishing will be updated.
We found the unit very clean and were comfortable with the Covid procedures they have in place. We had a supply of disinfecting wipes and sanitizer supplied by the owner, which was appreciated.
The complex is very quiet and the units on either side are occupied by full time owners.
We did contact the owner at the end of our stay and he was prompt in replying to us. We highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.

I’ve stayed here 3 times. It’s my favorite part of the island. The owner is great to work with and and the unit is excellent with a great view and the property is very clean and well taken care of. If you’re visiting during the time they have all the Covid restrictions please make sure you read the instructions on how to get in ahead of time.
