Our stay at the Mahana was WONDERFUL! First of all, the property host was very accommodating which is very much appreciated. Secondly, the purpose of our vacation was to relax and unwind and this unit brought it. The property location was perfect for what we came here for: private, quiet, clean, spacious and most of all, comfortable. There were times that we had the hot tub and the pool all to ourselves. Heated pool was a plus due to the occasional high wind and cooler evenings. Our kids LOVED that they had boogie board/beach chairs. They were so excited that the beach was literally our backyard. Super convenient and walkable stores. Check out Pappi’s Ohana cinnamon rolls a block away next to Texaco gas station, it’s amazing! When we felt we needed a little bit of crowd company, we just walked through a gate to the boardwalk for a little night life. My husband and I enjoyed Duke’s bar while the kids played soccer with other kids at other nearby hotel yard which was accessible to all. But our favorite part was going back to our place where there were peace and quiet. So we pretty much had the best of both worlds. Every morning we were greeted by birds while we had breakfast in the lanai listening to the ocean waves. During sunset, we chilled with our homemade cocktails to settle us in for the night. It’s definitely one the best vacations we’ve had that we will never forget. The only complain we have is that our vacation was too short. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. TY.

We enjoyed this spot so much we are already planning our next stay. The ground floor unit made it so easy to walk out your back door and enjoy all the fun!! The boardwalk was easily accessed along with the pool area and the beach. Food trucks were fun to walk to in the evening.

The property completely exceeded my expectations. It was super clean, organized, and contained every amenity to make for a comfortable stay. Further, the view of the ocean and privacy is unmatched. I truly appreciate the prompt communications with the Host and eagerly look forward to my next Maui visit.

Great location but not the cleanest and wash cloths and towels had stains.

Private with only a small lawn between you and the ocean,
Unit was dated but clean and comfortable. Unfortunately was permeated with strong musty mould odor.

We have stayed at the Mahana many times so there were no surprises. Room was as described. We were there after the fire time so things were quite different. But very happy we went to help and could come back to the amazing view of Mahana.

If you’re looking for pure relaxation mixed with island activities, park your car and start living true aloha! Snorkel, swim, surf, hike, and sun - all at your fingertips. Beautiful accommodations, quality food prep, and Duke’s right next door - yes, you can have it all and maximize your vacation time.

The Mahana property is a special place. As you drive up to the main entrance you can see the grounds are well maintained, and parking is a breeze. No parking structure( or parking fees). The photos are 100% how the unit looks, but the irl experience exceeds expectations. The two sliding doors are useful as others have posted.
The pool area is really nice, the BBQs were immaculate and we used them a few nights, pool towels were a plus. Stay here for picture perfect sunsets and morning rainbows, long walks on the beach, to avoid big resort crowds, and to have a beautiful place to relax.
Grocery store walking distance.
We will be staying here again.

The unit was absolutely stunning. The location and being a ground unit was amazing. Very clean, well stocked with some extras that made it very comfortable. I come at least once a year to Maui and this has been one of the best so far! Will definitely re book again!

Listen to the waves, literally 20 feet from the ocean, beautiful views from floor to ceiling windows. Really enjoyed our stay in this well stocked condo.

This was a very well stocked condo. Great bed and amazing views! If your looking for fancy you may not live it but for location views everything you need and a great bottom floor unit.. this is it! Lots of extras stocked for the beach that you have to pay for at the bigger resorts!

We travel often and have gone all over the world. This was truly one of our favorite weeks away from home. The view from this condo is truly magical. We would walk out onto the patio and see whales almost every morning. We also saw sea turtles, just standing on the grass outside of the condo.
It’s lovely that the patio doors from the master go directly outside. That way, our girls could sleep on the pull out couch, which they found very comfortable, well, we could enjoy a glass of wine on the patio and then head straight to bed without waking them up.
While not super-fancy or luxurious, the condo was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for four of us. There are beach towels available, tennis rackets, tennis balls, beach chairs, and an umbrella. Everything that you would need to enjoy your time on Maui.
The condo is conveniently located to the food truck park – which you can walk to you in about eight minutes. It is also conveniently located close to the grocery store and a number of small restaurants. You can also walk down the beach to Dukes, which is great for lunch. We truly enjoyed our week here.

The unit is amazing. Lots of small touches that make it more like being at home. Like a Keurig, beach toys and chairs, small cooler and fully-equipped kitchen. The shower is amazing and the bed is top notch.
Having whales, turtles and seals 40 feet out the window is the main draw though. This location can’t be beat.

The condo was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The only issue is the lanai doors. They are very difficult to unlock and lock. Otherwise it was great!

Ground floor condo is ideal for whale watching from the palm tree lined lawn or patio! Full kitchen makes it convenient for meal prep with most any cooking utensil and dishes needed. Beach towels and plenty of bath towels are also provided along with a washer and dryer. There were Tide pods in the laundry closet which came in handy to wash a couple loads of towels. The mattress seemed to be new, very very comfortable and not broken down! They were doing some maintenance on site and communicated by leaving notes at each door with times they needed access to the room. Everyone was polite and professional! Parking space was never an issue.

Beautiful view - so close to ocean and at the more quiet end of Kaanapali beach. Comfortable sofa bed. Cold AC. Attentive property manager.

Huge shout out to the owner or operator of this property to accommodate us when our reservations were not able to be filled in a nearby resort. We were almost homeless and were lucky to have found such a wonderful place to stay on such short notice.
Property was as described and we had all the kitchen, linen and beach items we needed to cook at home and to spend the days relaxing in the surf.
The complex is undergoing some pretty big restoration but the workers were all polite and we understand that this is an older building and the various tenants are making improvements to bring this place back to it's original sparkle. Some of the floor coverings were pretty dated and there is always a battle with various insects on ground level condos in tropical environments but we were very comfortable and would highly recommend this stay for anyone.

The condo is lovely. Spacious, good size rooms. Conveniently located in the complex. The hotel is low key and has no restaurants but dining at other upscale hotels is very convenient. Amazing views opening up to the ocean. Kitchen is well stocked. Furniture is comfortable, king size mattress is very comfortable
Cons- Condo could use some updating as it is dated. We did find some things that should be repaired or replaced. However nothing major.
Toaster only toasted on one side, kitchen faucet was faulty with the pull out sprayer. Carpet runner in the bedroom was spotted and dirty.
All in all in was a great place and once these items are fixed we would stay their again.

We love the ocean front experience and the location of Mahana. We have visited Maui 7 times the past years and always follow the Mahana calling. To the Monokini building, you can see turtles every day. To Lanai building you can snorkel with tons of fishes. The property is quiet so you can have the ocean front pretty much all for yourself. Thank you for the lovely stay.

We have stayed at The Mahana before, and I love this location. Just on the other side of the grassy area is the beach where you can listen to the waves, spot some sea turtles, enjoy a fantastic sunset and walk to Duke's for lunch or dinner. This is not a swimming beach but walk a short distance and you can swim and snorkel. I always think it's best to list the pros and cons of our stays.
PROS: Location - Ground floor means stepping out and walking a short distance to the stairs that lead to the beach. Parking is easy and it was nice not to have to take stairs or an elevator. Sitting on the patio, drinking coffee in the morning or sipping wine at night while watching the sunset, resets the soul.
Check-In - Although we didn't get the code to get in until we were about 40 minutes from our destination, it was very easy to check-in.
Amenities - Beach gear, snorkeling gear, and other items were all provided. Kitchen well stocked with dishes and coffee maker (Kuerig and regular).
CONS: Cleanliness and Condition of Unit - The floor was dirty, there was a poorly patched hole in the wall, the sliding glass door was broken at the bottom and hard to push open, the closet door by the washing machine was just about impossible to open and I know we were in a tropical environment and on the ground floor, but yeah... the bugs. We didn't leave food out. We cleaned our dishes. And the little cockroaches still want to roam. I know it's hard to control bugs in a tropical environment, but I think I would prefer an upper unit just because of this.
Construction - Not that big of a deal. They are doing construction on several units so you get to hear the noise. It didn't full distract from the beauty of Maui, but it's always good to know beforehand when these things are going on.
Amenities (a pro and a con) - Many things were provided but the basics like soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion were not. Luckily, we brought our own... but most places we stay at least provide soap and shampoo.
Again, I love The Mahana and the location. Would I want to stay at this particular unit again? Honestly, probably not. But with a little fix up and better attention to cleaning detail and this could be a prime vacation spot. We still have a fantastic time!

This was a fantastic experience! The management was more than accommodating and went and above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional!
They even let us have a late check out when our flight got changed!
I would use Platinum Property again and again!
The apt was clean and in a great location as well!
*Of note: this property does not walk out directly on to the beach as the pictures show. There is a barrier between, and the beach is quite narrow with lots of coral here. But a small walk away has some great beaches!! Amazing to just relax and watch the whales and hear the ocean! MISS IT ALREADY!!
