IN FLIGHT AND ARRIVAL:
1. TSA’s mask mandate has been extended through April 18, 2022 and requires that masks be worn in airports and on airplanes.

3. Some businesses may still require or encourage the wearing of masks.

Located on Maalaea Bay, Kanai A Nalu is called “Maui’s best kept secret.” Quiet, romantic and tropical, it’s located at the north end of Maalaea Bay in South Maui. A spectacular setting for your Hawaiian vacation. Enjoy this luxurious, well-appointed oceanview condo that is one of only four ground floor units directly facing the ocean. Full of modern conveniences and tastefully decorated this deluxe, remodeled condo is waiting for you. Enjoy the wonderful views of beautiful landscape and the ocean breezes from the lanai. Smell the gardenias growing right outside your door! Relax at the beautiful oceanfront pool, swim or snorkel in the ocean or stroll or take a 4-mile leisurely walk to Kihei on the beach, which is just steps away. Greet each morning with spectacular views of Maalaea Bay, Molokini Crater, the island of Lanai and the 10,000-foot Haleakala volcano. Enjoy the sparkling lights of Kihei at night and the incredible moon as it turns the ocean silver with it’s soft moonlight. You can listen to the ocean waves as you sip your morning coffee or evening beverage out on the lanai or let the rhythmic sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep at night. It won’t take long to feel deeply relaxed in Paradise with not a care in the world.

Watch green sea turtles bobbing up for air and rolling in the surf, even sunning themselves on the beach. In the winter months (Nov-April) you will have a front row seat to breaching whales as they come back to the islands to give birth and nurse their young in the warm Hawaiian waters. In the summer months during a good south swell, you can watch surfers on the legendary surf break “Freight Trains”, one of the world’s fastest surfable waves.

This condo is conveniently located within walking distances to beach parks, restaurants, shopping and fabulous boating and yachting at the Maalaea Harbor.
A 5 minute walk from the condo takes you to Maalaea Harbor where you will find a small grocery store, deli, craft market, restaurants and the Maui Ocean Center (Maui’s #1 tourist attraction), the Pacific Whale Foundation, miniature golf, shopping and most of the ocean activities available on Maui (sunset dinner cruises, deep sea fishing, snorkeling tours & whale watching).

This bright and beautiful condo has 2 bedrooms both with private en-suite bathrooms. This is a non-smoking unit designed for 4 adults. The master bedroom is a King and the guest room is 2 Twins. The kitchen is well-equipped for those wishing to cook or you can use the BBQs by the pool which is there for your convenience. There is a large flat screen tv in the living room with a DVD player and flat screen tvs in both bedrooms. For those of you with laptops, you can enjoy a beautiful desk and complimentary wi-fi. In the desk cabinets you will find a great selection of books to read and DVDs to watch. When you are ready for the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, beach mats and noodles to use.

Ready to experience this Paradise? You won’t want to leave. As Mark Twin said “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.”

We loved our time in Maui and this rental was perfect! First floor, park right outside the front door and walk right out the back door to the pool, ocean and incredible views. Centrally located on the island so it was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The condo has everything you could need, so travel light and worry free! Stephanie was great to work with, and the condo was better than advertised! We would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our 30-day stay in this condo. It was very comfortable and well-stocked with everything we needed. Like home away from home. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing and suited our lifestyle. Loved watching the whales from our lanai. Very short walk to the beach. It was also a good base for all of our sightseeing – an easy drive to any location on the island. Could have stayed forever …

Great location. Great view of the ocean. Really liked being able to walk from the patio to the ocean and beach. Beautiful and quiet beach. Easy drive to all the activities and restaurants.

Gorgeous oceanfront was located in the southern middle part of the island. We were walking distance from the docks which was perfect for our snorkeling and whale watching tour days. Only 20 mins from larger towns for dinner, shopping and beach time. My husband and I spend mornings walking the quiet beach just outside the condo. The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. Thank you Stephanie!

The condo worked perfectly for a family of 4. We enjoyed the location and everything was as advertised. Unfortunately why we were there the Maui fires occurred. Stephanie reached out to make sure we were ok and offered to adjust our stay if needed. We would definitely stay here again!

We have stayed at Kanai a Nalu in various condos over the past 30 years and this was one of the nicest we have stayed in. Ground floor makes it easy to get groceries in through the front door, and food to the grill out the back door. The 2nd bedroom had a unique setup for these condos that we have not come across before (every condo at Kanai a Nalu has the same basic floor plan unless modifications are made), a wall has been moved, making the bedroom larger, and a slider door to the main living area creates an en suite as needed. The condo is nicely decorated and very clean and provides most everything you need to enjoy your stay. Stephanie was very responsive when we had any questions. We had a great time and we highly recommend it.

The location is perfect for walks on the very long Sugar Beach- not a crowded beach. The condo is central for visiting Hana, Haleakala and the west side of Kapalua. We enjoyed the pool and quite nature of the complex. Thanks for having a small cooler to use in our car for day trips. We would stay here again!

This property was great. The lanai was on the small side. Too small to eat our meals on.

We loved everything about our stay. The condo was great and had everything one needed to cook. Which is important for us. The beds were great and the towels, beach towels and water toys were great. Love the location. Had a perfect long vacation. If we needed anything, the response was immediate!

Loved this location. Have often stayed north, above Lahaina in the past, but enjoyed being in the Maalea area just a quick walk away from quiet, sunny beaches. As others have said, the condo is very clean...the grounds are well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked and loved having a washer/dryer in our unit. The owner was always very helpful and responsive. We would certainly stay here again.

We loved our stay here! It was nice to have the twin beds for our young adult children. There was plenty of room for hanging out, watching a show or cooking and it was nice to be on the ground floor to walk to the pool and the beach. The host was Very responsive to any questions and we had no issues with the unit. It was also very nice to have access to a beach umbrella, sand mats and beach towels within the unit. It is Centrally located and not far to get to Lahina or Wailea easily. And the airport was only 10 minutes away. I would stay here again!

The property was just as advertised. Perfect for Mom, Dad, 17 and 21 year kids. The sunrise view was lovely. We especially enjoyed walking along the long beach. We saw turtles from the lawn and beach! The property was centrally located- so not too far from anything.

The condo was lovely. It was clean and well stocked. Since it was just the two of us we had plenty of room. We knew that we were away from the crowds of Lahaina and Kihei and we appreciated the calmer area. We explored the island by car and went to several beaches, restaurants, stores in Kihei and Wailea.

We had so much fun! The pool is amesome and being able to hear the ocean waves while you drift off to sleep was amazing. If you are all messed up on time zones like we were—you will see some amazing sunrises!

My sister and I enjoyed our stay very much. It was whale season and we would see the whales in the bay as we were relaxing on the property. We even saw one breach as we were sitting on the patio. The condo and the entire property was clean and had everything we could ever need. Stephanie and the property managers were very accommodating as well. When I go back to Maui I will definitely stay here again!

Excellent facility and property. Have stayed in other areas of Maui but Sugar beach is the best less tourists. Beach feels private.

We absolutely loved our stay in Maalaea at Stephanie’s condo! It is beautifully decorated and very well-appointed. The pictures and descriptions that are provided were very accurate and on-point. The location is perfect-we didn’t have to travel very far to take part in any of our activities or excursions. We loved watching the stunning sunrise each morning from the lanai and making a big breakfast in the well-stocked kitchen. We would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Stephanie for allowing us to make your condo our home away from home during our trip to Maui!!!

There should be a 10 star category for this property. Looks exactly like the photos. You wake up every morning with that beautiful view. The complex is lovely and well maintained and manicured. Property Managers are great with a cute little dog that comes to say hello. The condo is AMAZING!!! I have NEVER been in such a WELL STOCKED condo. The fridge had purified water and all the condiments you could need. The cabinets also had spices etc. This was a working vacation for me so that office space was perfect. Stephanie is AMAZING and so helpful and considerate. Thank you so much for sharing you beautiful condo! We will hopefully come back.

Overall excellent. We needed to check in early since we were moving in from another condo in the area and Stephanie was extremely helpful and very responsive to our needs. Well maintained, and the outside area is really nice. Grounds are extremely well maintained, outside chairs very comfortable, great view!! Only things that may need some improvement are perhaps the beds that could be more comfortable ( but that’s a subjective thing) and the kitchen could be a little better organized but it was very well stocked. Overall lovely place!!

The property was just as listed on VRBO. We went to read and enjoy the beach , food, and water. The grounds were very well kept. Pool was just beautiful. We were especially taken with the amount of beach you could walk and enjoy. Spent the mornings watching the waves with a cup of coffee. It was a very special time with friends. Just what we needed after a long summer of selling our home and moving.

We decided to take our daughter and her best friend to Hawaii to celebrate her high school graduation. This place frankly looked perfect for our needs. We normally will stay at a resort on vacation but with 4 of us staying 8 days having 2 bedrooms and a kitchen made the most sense. The pictures looked beautiful and the layout was what we needed.The process was extremely easy with Stephanie. She has a clear passion for this little piece of paradise.

This property is a gem on Maui. The central location is perfect for anything you have planned. Stephani couldn't have been more accommodating for us. We felt so at home with all the furnishings. We plan to come back! Thank-you Stephanie!
