This property is exactly as described. We had an incredible stay in Alicia's condo! The condo has anything and everything you need, for a home away from home feel.
The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals in. Everything from towels, to extra blankets, to pillows, you name it, nothing was forgotten about. As an added plus, the beach toys and supplies are endless. Our kids enjoyed the paddle boards and skim board, as well as the snorkel gear, all while we enjoyed the coolers and beach chairs.
The views from the condo are breathtaking. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai daily. We saw whales and turtles almost every day. We also enjoyed watching the surfers, right out front.
The location is easy to central to Kaanapali and a quick drive to whatever you want to do. If we return to Hawaii, we would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Alicia for your accommodations!

This condo was everything that is advertised. The amenities and gear was fantastic. There is nothing that we needed that wasn’t there.
It is nice to have Duke’s right by you for a quick meal or Lava Flow. The beach is a little rocky, but you can also snorkel right from there. Just bring your beach shoes, or there were some in the toy box.
Fabulous and they have thought of everything!

We have stayed at the Aston Mahana for many years. I believe closest condos to the ocean. Condo is elegantly decorated. Bed very comfortable. Nice hot water great water pressure. Upgraded chef appliances and kitchen. Alicia was exceptional and communication throughout the whole process from beginning to end. Even giving us a friendly reminder the morning of how to access the condo, etc. Then, the day before we leave, we got the check out instructions again, which made it very easy. Definitely staying here again. Five stars all the way.

Everything is just perfect at this rental! We had everything we needed. Beach towel, chairs, snorkel fins. Great location for food! We ate at the pizza place across street 3 times! The beach is perfect and snorkeling was amazing!

This property is very well equipped with everything a family could need on vacation. The ocean view and sea sounds were peaceful to hear and watch in the evenings. Alicia was quick to respond to requests or questions.

We knew before we arrived that this home was special. It was the reason we chose it. But it goes beyond the photos and descriptions. The glass front and Lanai are simply awesome. We avoided AC for all but a few hours one afternoon. The sound of ocean was constant. Breeze on the lanai. It never gets old. Kitchen is perfect. Very well-stocked. The home is perfect.

When we were booking this property, I didn't believe the photos - they simply looked too good to be true. Well, they are real!! This place is absolutely magical. You are directly on the beach with direct access, the pool is even better in person, the unit was so quiet and clean and the absolute perfect stay for part of our honeymoon. Highly highly recommend - truly zero issues or complaints!

It is truly a magical place and we feel so lucky to have found it! We hope to return again one day. Thanks for making it extra special!

Construction. Oise sucked from 730 5pm.. nice views it was very well stocked with everything you needed.
May 2022
Excellent stay and host! The condo and view are even more gorgeous in person than the photos. Condo came with pretty much any and everything you can possibly think of. Alicia was quick to respond to questions we had. There is a little “food truck” area walking distance away along with several restaurants which are about 10-12 minute drive. Front street was about 15 minute drive away and Napili area about 10 minute drive. Great location, gorgeous views!! I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed in this unit for 5 days at the end of March. We have stayed in several rental properties and this condo far exceeded our expectations. From the booking process to our stay Alicia communicated with us and offered suggestions for our stay. The condo is extremely well kept and is stocked with everything we needed. Everything is top notch from the Tommy Bahama beach chairs to the kitchen supplies and even the hairdryer. With all that being said, the most amazing feature of this condo is the fantastic view of the ocean. We saw whales and turtles from our windows and lanai. I have never been so close to the ocean. I am hoping we have the opportunity to return soon and stay in Alicia’s amazing condo.

We chose to come back to Maui in February specifically to see the whales and we weren’t disappointed. We spent our mornings on our lanai sipping coffee and watching the baby whales play. Evening sunsets were beautiful and also spent watching more whales. The condo is beautiful and located close to great walkway along the beach and close to many great restaurants and beaches. Will definitely stay here again next time in Maui!

This condo was spotless and the view is to die for! The owner is very prompt at answering messages and we would HIGHLY recommend this condo. It is very close to Lahaina and most other activities. You won’t be disappointed!

Condo unit is located directly on the water. Mirror placement and room design creates expansive ocean views and incredible sunset views. Clean, very comfortable bed and pillows. Restful sleep with views of the ocean and sounds of the waves. Location was close to scuba/ snorkel/ art/ restaurants in Lahaina to the south and to hotel dining/spa and more hiking to the north. Would stay again.

Couldn’t beat the location...loved our stay! We didn’t even have to leave the condo to feel like we were making the most of our Maui vacation—the ocean was literally right outside our room with incredible views.

This is a gem right on the ocean. The condo’s big windows provide stunning views from every room. It has everything you need and beyond. No clutter, beautifully furnished and decorated. Fresh, super clean and welcoming in every aspect. You can walk to the beach, coffee house, bar, restaurant in minutes. Great place to watch turtles, snorkel and relax. Had breakfast every morning on the Lanai. Great host!! Exceptional place to stay!

Just as the photos show - this place was immaculate. We stayed here for a few days at the end of our vacation, and it was well worth it - being able to watch the sunset from the balcony or living room was fantastic. Easy access to the beach was amazing. Short walks to a few resorts with their restaurants was a huge plus. Finally, the option of a grocery store and food trucks also within walking distance was amazing. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful four night stay. Condo was vey well appointed, exceptionally clean and beautifully redecorated. Great location right on the water, close to the Kaanapali beach walk and the numerous restaurants/amenities associated with the nearby large resorts, but tucked away at the northern end of the beach and very quiet/relaxing. Kitchen had everything you could imagine and then some to cook your own meals if you didn't feel like venturing out. Spent countless hours on the 3rd floor balcony watching the whales breach just offshore. Would not hesitate to return or recommend to any other couple looking for a great value in an outstanding location.

Amazing Condo to stay in Maui. The view doesn't get any better than this and Alicia has all the utensils needed to cook, wash clothes, or go to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in many condos in Maui over the years, but this was by far our favourite!! From the minute we walked in we felt at home and the view was amazing. It is beautifully updated and equipped with everything you could ask for. Alicia has thought of every detail including a gift carry bag and Maui cookies on our arrival. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise!

Alicia and Bob's, Unit 316 at Mahana was spectacular! The unit had everything one would ever need all the way down to condiments and spices/seasonings. The unit was very clean and we had all that we needed- even boogie boards and a cooler for the beach :) The view was fabulous, the lanai wonderful for dinner and sunsets. The unit has been completely updated and the shower was big enough for two :) We had a wonderful honeymoon and plan to request this condo for our visit next year. Wouldn't stay anywhere else! Alicia was very helpful during our stay and available for any questions we had!!!

Everything about this condo was great! The view and location are fantastic! This is more like staying in a home rather than a rental. So well thought out with everything you could possibly need. We will be returning on our next trip!

We recently stayed in this beautiful, clean, well-kept condo. The view of the ocean and beach are outstanding. We loved waking to the sounds of the ocean each morning. We also loved watching the sunset from the lanai in the evenings. The bed was very comfy which is important to us. The kitchen with all of the new appliances was a joy to cook in. The barbecue area worked out well for us. Alicia was very good to work with. She responds to emails promptly. The condo is surrounded by beautiful gardens with a lovely walking path right near the complex. Duke's Beach House Restaurant is a 5 minute walk away. There is a close shopping area very near the condo with a great grocery store. This was one of our best vacations.

If you're hoping to find the perfect place to stay in Maui, you can stop your search here. You're not going to find a better place. The unit itself - Mahana 316 - is perfect. It has everything you need - just for example, the kitchen is fully loaded, there are beach chairs available, the ability to DVR shows on TV, and much, much more. The view is perfect as well. It's low enough to really hear and take in the ocean, but high enough to give you privacy. The tops of the palm trees are above you, so they don't block your view of Lanai, Molokai and the amazing sunsets. The owners are fantastic as well - very responsive. The entire complex is clean, and the pool is nice, well-kept and provides a great view of the ocean as well. It's a quiet location, but you can still easily walk to places like Duke's Beach House, Slappy Cakes, Times Grocery Store, Subway and other places to eat. So, you should stop your search now - we highly recommend you stay here.

We have stayed in this unit 5 times and each time is better than before. This year we found a completely upgraded kitchen with high end appliances, granite counters and LED lighting. The owners are thoughtful in making sure the unit is in top notch shape and are friendly and welcoming. They have thought of everything you might want or need in the kitchen as well as beach chairs, towels and toiletries.
The Mahana has a great pool, BBQ facilities and even a little snack shop.
All in all a great place where we will stay again.

As other reviews have noted, the pictures and video here at VRBO do not do justice to the beauty of this unit, and its location perched just yards away from the magnificent Pacific Ocean. The isles of Lanai and Molokai beckon just beyond, and the clouds and blue sky form a never-ending dance across the sky, ending nearly every day with a spectacular sunset.
We arrived too late to see the whales, but we did see sea turtles ambling about in the surf just off the beach in front of our unit.
The accommodations are attractive and comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes; and the Mahana has a nice BBQ area by the pool that is kept clean, and grilling couldn't be easier. The people who come to the Mahana are friendly and the vibe is laid-back and peaceful.
The location can't be beat. Beautiful Kahekili Beach Park is a 10 minute walk. Duke's Restaurant and Bar is a 5 min. or less walk, practically next door. There's fantastic shaved ice available at the nearby strip mall (next door to and owned by Soup Nutz and Java Jazz), and a supermarket only a 5 min. walk away. No need to stop at Costco for groceries on way in, as Times Supermarket will have all you need. (If you prefer Safeway, there's one 10 min. down the road.)
A bus is available from the area near the supermarket to take you to Whalers Village or Lahaina (one reason I checked the box recommending for "tourists without a car -- but I do recommend renting a car so you can drive to all the wonderful places on the island).
The owner is prompt in communications, friendly, and unobtrusive. She has put thought and care into the unit, and it's very much appreciated.
There's no way that I can communicate the sheer beauty of the place: the jungle-like feeling when you walk out the door, the constant sound of ocean breakers, the occasional mist from rain clouds blown from miles away while the sun shines down on you, the multitude of rainbows that greeted us every day! At night, if you like, there's a wonderful big screen hi-def TV with cable, and a smaller one (we never used) in the bedroom. It felt homey and snug, and was so close to the ocean it seemed we were merging with the spirit of the islands itself.
One tip: do yourself a favor and drive on Highway 30 past Kapalua at least as far up the coast as Honokohau. The scenery is breathtaking, and the road is fairly easy up to that point.
Highly recommended! Have a wonderful vacation, and aloha!

We enjoyed our stay at Alicia's condo immensely. The views are absolutely amazing, we have never stayed anywhere with views that could match this. The condo is comfortable and clean and well maintained. Having condiments, etc in the cupboard was really handy. The bed was extremely comfortable. Well worth the money we spent. Communication with Alicia was always prompt. We had a lovely time there and would definitely love to return.

Nicely appointed 3rd floor unit with beautiful floor to ceiling views of ocean. Nice carpeting in living area and bedroom, spacious shower and big washer/dryer.
Only drawback was a quirky tv that required frequent rebooting.

We booked at the Mahana based on recommendations from friends. It was a one bedroom unit with kitchen, bath, living room and lanai. The front of the condo was floor to ceiling glass, so the ocean was very visible from anywhere in the unit. Very nicely done in terms of decor and furnishings. We could sit on the lanai all day watching the whales frolic in the ocean. Gorgeous sunsets view able from the lanai, bedroom or living room. The building is located right on the beachwalk and Duke's is a 3 minute walk away. Adequate parking. Close to all kinds of amenities. Seemed very safe and secure. Nice pool and hot tub area. The owners were very easy to deal with and responsive to our needs. We'd definitely return!

We have stayed at the Mahana many times. This unit is by far the nicest & most well appointed one bedroom we have ever stayed in. The third floor is perfect for ocean viewing without being obstructed by any of the palm trees. The unit has been tastefully remodeled. The owners have provided everything you could ever wish for. We highly recommend it.

My boyfriend and I stayed in this condo for a week recently, and we loved it!! It has all the amenities of a home, it's comfortable, right on the beach to watch sunsets every night at dinner, comfortable bed, and an amazing shower. It felt like a home away from home. We highly recommend!

This was a wonderful place to spend our time in Maui. The condo is exactly as pictured and more! There were basic pantry items provided, lots of towels and just an all around comfortable place to stay. We saw whales from the balcony and the most beautiful sunsets! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful and peaceful condo! It was our first time to Hawaii and we would not have wanted to spend our honeymoon anywhere else!
Breakfast on the lanai, watching beautiful sunsets, biking down the volcano, the road to hana, walking the beaches, relaxing in the condo...we could not have asked for more!
Thank you for your hospitality and we certainly hope we are able to come back to enjoy the island again...(maybe our one year anniversary?) =)
Mahalo,
