Very nice condo. No better view on the island than from that condo. Was great to have coffee or afternoon drinks and watch the whales, turtles, and the monk seal swimming and jumping in the water. Furniture was very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom are awesome. The property managers are very nice and checkin was a breeze.

This trip was our 4th time staying at the Mahana and as always the location and the beach are what make this place so special. Since I enjoy snorkeling and not needing to drive to a beach location this makes morning and afternoon snorkel adventures easy. My wife and I enjoy going out for lunch and then taking care of ourselves in the kitchen or BBQ area the rest of the time. The kitchen had everything required and the grills were spotlessly cleaned every day. We consider the tranquility of the Mahana to be the number one reason to stay at this location.

From the condo we stayed in we could look straight down from the lanai and see numerous turtles swimming at the edge of the coral below. We also saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal swimming torpedo like at the edge of the water. Our condo was well decorated and in very good condition. The kitchen was complete with everything anyone would need to prepare any meal. We used the beach chairs (4) and beach towels almost every day. Additionally the location came equipped with the latest in snorkel gear. It was very clean and nicely taken care of. We wouldn't hesitate to use this condominium on our next trip to Maui.

Loved the unit, pics and details were exactly as described. The mirrors on the wall make the unit look bigger but it was comfortable for our family of 3, equipped with everything you need, and the ocean view and sounds are unbelievable. Only negative about this unit was it wasn't cleaned well. The floor was dirty on arrival and some areas were dusty. I like to wipe everything down anyway for peace of mind and they did have some cleaning supplies available, so not a big deal, but the ice maker in the fridge didn't work and don't even think about using the coffee maker or the kettle both looked filthy in the inside. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The shower water and pressure was the best. You are literally steps from the ocean. Unit has lots of supplies. Supermarket and food trucks are close by. Parking was good

This unit had everything we needed for a beautiful week away! The views from the unit are incredible and were ideal for ALL of the whale watching! Great beach chairs provided! We chose to eat out a lot during this stay, but the kitchen seemed well-stocked. Definitely a little piece of heaven!

Great condo. Beautiful location, everything we needed for our stay was in the condo. Saw tons of whales, spinner dolphins and sea turtles from the condo. We hope to return as soon as we can.

We have stayed at the Mahana probable 15-16 times. It’s actually our favorite spot. We had also stated in this particular unit exactly 10 years ago.
The problem was the unit has not been updated during that time period at all so it’s outdated in many ways compared to others we have stayed in. Refrigerator Ice maker worked very poorly.
The Lanai had a large chunk of floor tile missing with a 2x4 laying over it. We called the maintenance line and he asked in we wanted to schedule someone to come in and fix it. We stated it should have been fixed upon arrival and didn’t want unknown repairmen in our unit 3-4 during our stay.
We took the first 2-3 hours in the unit deep cleaning it as the clearing fee doesn’t actually get you a clean edit.
The appliances we all dirty. Television screens, countertops, floors etc all were dirty. There was 1-2” of dust behind the televisions as well. The living room windows were filthy. I would have thought they would have cleaned them after construction on that side.
The living room furniture is extremely uncomfortable. We will most definitely not stay in this unit again. Not up to Mahana standards.

This a wonderfully located condo. Full views of the ocean, clean, and a well equipped kitchen. They had sand chairs and coolers available for our use. We will be returning to this location.

The views from this property cant be beat it is beautiful we have vacationed at this property for close to 20 years and the scenery and great staff is what has brought us back time and time again. this year due to the work being done on the buildings and some of the missed upkeep it was not up to its usual high standards. Due to the pandemic some of this is understandable but still disappointing hoping next year will be better

It was hard to leave the condo because the view is so amazing. The property was as advertised and the condo had everything we needed. Pool and spa were very nice and we used the bbqs a few times. There was construction in the other tower that we had been warned about. Only 1 of our 8 days was it quite loud.
We will be back.

We enjoyed the stay overall. However, there was a a lot of construction noise on the property that we were not advised of in advance. Also in the 30 years of staying at the Mahana, never had just one roll of TP provided and therefore having to purchase ourselves- and no cleaning products which was a unfortunate given we were there for almost two weeks. We texted and promised a delivery of some cleaning products but they flaked on us. Also, was pretty upset that our unit entry code stopped working one afternoon one day prior to checkout and we were lucky to have had our cell phone with us to attempt to reach the management- they really only replied by text but it was unnerving for about 15 minutes before someone texted back with an alternate code. No apologies were given.
So I probably would find another unit going forward.

The condo is very nicely decorated and being located in Mahana makes it a great choice. There were some minor kitchen problems which should be addressed: chipped cups, malfunctioning toaster and a broken tip on the wine opener. Over all the condo is very comfortable, well-located and quiet.

1008 Mahana is an absolute gem! The unit is a true representation of the photos and is fully furnished to accommodate your vacation needs. I highly recommend Leo and Faith for your next Maui vacation.

This little condo was everything we were looking for in a rental. It was a great location right in and Whalers Cove, just a few minutes from our favorite beach for snorkeling, great restaurants, and it came with all of the amenities you could ask for including beach chairs, umbrellas, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed with lots of extra pillows, and a great little balcony. The self check in and out was super easy, and only warning I would give folks is that this place gets direct afternoon sun, so you really have to close the shades or you will be fried by the sun. But in the morning, sitting out on the patio and enjoying the ocean is perfect. We never heard neighbors and felt like we had our own little corner of paradise.

Nice place with high end features and a gorgeous view. As someone previously noted, the unit is in need of a good in-depth cleaning. AC was inconsistent especially overnight - we slept with just a sheet and were still too hot. The bed itself wasn't comfortable and the heavy brocade bedding was dated and difficult to store as the room is small. We were told the unit's dryer was broken - an inconvenience but not the end of the world - asked for some extra towels since laundry would be difficult to dry and were told they would provide some but they were not delivered as promised. Overall, not a terrible experience but not great either.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Maui. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay here comfortable. We enjoyed watching the Sea turtles from the balcony, grilling poolside and the beautiful beach just feet from the condo. The staff were great at helping plan excursions. We highly recommend this unit for your vacation. We would love to return again an we'd stay here. Very clean and well maintained unit.

My husband and I felt like we were staying in a luxury suite on a cruise ship. All we could see were ocean and islands! The decor is exquisite and the condo is fitted with everything you need. The complex has a very nice pool and spa.
We enjoyed walking on the beach or the path all the way to Whalers Village. Kapalua and Ka'anapali golf courses are nearby. Restaurants and stores are across the road.

We went during whale season & the view from Mahana 1008 was amazing, we enjoyed watching the whales from the living room window. There isn't much beach in front of the Mahana, so there's very little people noise when sitting on the lanai, allowing us to enjoy the sounds of the ocean waves. It is clear that the owners took great care to accommodate their guest, fully stocking the unit with everything you could think of. All we had to do is bring our snorkel gear & enjoy the beach (the unit even had beach chairs). We have stayed at the Mahana several time & this was the first time in this unit. We will definitely request 1008 in the future.

The location of the condo was excellent. Very convenient to shopping, beach and sites. The condo and it's view were fabulous. Waking each morning to the sounds of the waves coming ashore and then starting the day with breakfast on the lanai watching the surf and the whales could not have been better. The condo and the building were maintained well and very clean. The staff at the reception desk were great. I would highly recommend this condo (and it's beautiful view) to any couple looking for a peaceful and relaxing Maui experience that they will treasure for a lifetime.

We stayed in this unit for 8 nights in January of 2016. We absolutely loved the Mahana and felt like it was in the perfect location for us. The property was well kept and the unit was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was comfy and we absolutely loved the huge lanai. The views were AMAZING!! We watched surfers daily and saw lots of whales. You can't get any closer to the beach. We were very happy with Maui Paradise Properties and definitely would go through them again and would rent at the Mahana again. We can't wait to plan another trip!

We stayed at the condo Thanksgiving week. It's a very beautiful condo and furnished nicely. You are right on the beach and there are beach chairs out on the lawn beside the beach for your usage. There are always empty chairs and the pool is usually pretty empty too. You are about 5 miles from the best restaurants in Maui. We went to a different restaurant on all the "top restaurant lists" and they are all a 10-minute drive. You are also about 10 minutes to the town of Lahaina and it's a great little town to walk around in. The condo has beach towels, chairs, and all kinds of things you might forget to bring on vacation, like suntan lotion! The only two things that are really missing from this complex is a fitness center and a real restaurant. However, the condo building next door has both, and they charge $10 a day to use their fitness room, so it wasn't a problem. And the restaurant next door was actually pretty good for lunch. There is a small snack bar in the building on the ground floor for your convenience. Overall, we loved the location and this particular unit. Great vacation in a perfect spot!
