Great stay for my family’s first visit to Maui. With a little one, we spent a lot of time in the unit which was very relaxing. Breathtaking views being on the ground floor; it was amazing to take a quick dip in the ocean just a few steps away. We saw sea turtles from the living room and sharks on the shore when the neighbors tossed the ice from their daily catch. Complex is well maintained with quite a bit long term residents. China Boat across the street was convenient and delicious. Gas, general store & restaurants are all close by.
It was a long drive just about everywhere, especially if you want to drive the road to Hana, which we wound up near on 3 different occasions.
I have a thing about lighting – all the bulbs are daylight/cool tone (except for kitchen). It was like living in an office with the bright white light. Not what I want to experience on a vacation. I suggested they change them to a warm tone.
Pros: view, plushness of bed, nice sheets
Cons: sliding door is heavy and hard to open, only 1 pot, no tongs or pasta scooper, no dish strainer, bright light bulbs, sparse kitchen

Everything was as expected except there was a night light outside the bedroom window which kept the room brighter than desired. The view is amazing.

We had a wonderful time in Maui. However we were unable to get any sleep because of a light that shines right through the blinds all night long. It seems like a bunch of the other rentals in the same complex put up blackout curtains ($100 max) for there guests but this management company suggested “turning the round plastic handle to close the blinds”. Talking to me as if I didn’t know how to close the blinds and acting as if this has never happened before. I was completely shocked at there response.
I was then told they would call the manager on property and see what they could do but I never heard back about a resolution so that we could sleep in the bedroom. We ended up having to use the pull out bed in the living room, where it was darker than the bedroom. Also, the cleaners totally omitted cleaning the fan in the bathroom as there is dust and dirt filled at least a 1/3 inch thick.

we were offered this property after the fires at Lahaina made our West Maui vacation unavailable. I'm grateful for the substitution. The property was older and in a more urban environment that we would have preferred but once we were in the condo, the beautiful view, pristine pool area, and soft sandy beach to walk on more than made up for it! We were conveniently located to restaurants, shopping at Wailea, trips to Kula and Paia.

Second time staying in the Kahana Reef complex. This unit was super clean, well equipped kitchen, all appliances worked perfectly. Beach gear saved us a week of rental costs. Oceanfront quiet complex right in between all our favorite beaches in West Maui.

The listing very accurately describes the property. It is centrally located in West Maui. 15 minutes to Lahaina, 10 minutes to Kapalua. The view was awesome. Sat on the patio and watched whales every morning and evening. The decor was basic but had everything you needed Management company was very responsive and made checkin and checkout very easy. Would stay here again. There is a sea wall not a beach, so could not take a long beach walk.

This was a great stay for what we were looking for! The location was awesome being right on the ocean. We loved sitting on the lanai watching and listening to the waves. We had a beautiful rainbow greet us the first morning, and saw several lovely sunsets. There was a small beach to walk, and plenty of larger beaches, restaurants, and shopping options within easy driving distance. The welcome basket was very much appreciated, and we had everything we needed. One minor inconvenience was that the bathroom tub did not drain properly. A major issue was the rooster that started crowing every morning at 4:30 am. Obviously not within the owners or management control! Overall we were very happy with our stay and would recommend this unit. We would stay here again!

Overall was ok but a bit overpriced based on comparables. The place overall needed a deep cleaning and needed to be stocked better with bath towels. (2 towels for 2 people for a week's stay)

We really love Kahana, and this was our first time at the Kahana Reef. Very well appointed condo, with everything we needed. Best part of all is being so near the ocean waves. We spent every morning on the Lanai at daybreak, and watched the nearly full moon set. So love it here.

Nice little condo main floor oceanfront. We loved being able to walk straight out from our lanai to sit by the ocean and view the sunsets. A real home-away-from-home. Upgraded with nice, well-stocked kitchen - large fridge with ice-maker a bonus! Pretty much everything you'll need to cook meals at home once you provide the groceries, plus two barbeque areas on site. A great home base for accessing wonderful beaches and coastal trails on the NW side of Maui, and shopping and restaurants. The little beach accessible from the stairs on the property is a nice place for a swim or play in the waves. Sand is lovely. Can often see turtles. Snorkeling better nearby at Kahekili Beach. Some nice little stores and restaurants nearby and others a short drive away.
Bedroom was a good size and bed comfy. Nice closet with lots of hangers. Security light outside bedroom window was bright. Blinds don't quite block it out.
A bit better room darkening blinds would have been nice.
Beach chairs and cooler available for use which was also great & two big beach towels.
We would have liked ensuite laundry, but the units really don't have room and the shared laundry machines are good. $1.75/load each to wash/dry in Nov'22. Can pay with app but we used coins. With two week stay, needed to wash towels, etc. but laundry looked after by cleaners when you leave, so that's nice.
When we needed help with the electric door lock, the management company responded quickly. They also reached out to us when we arrived to make sure everything was good, which was most appreciated. Starter supplies provided such as dishwasher & laundry soap which was sufficient for our stay.
We were a bit surprised to find construction going on in the building, as that had not been mentioned. Removing old carpets in common halls lead to loud noises from grinders during the day (8-4) sometimes but was only on our end of the building for two days & we were mostly out anyway. We were glad that the area outside 120 had already been done before we arrived but they still need to replace the carpet there so could be some future impact.
Otherwise, the cement building is quiet and neighbors were good. Main floor allowed for nice access to visit and meet people, too. Great unit for two adults, but there is a pull out couch as well.
We enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. We would go back again to Kahana Reef and recommend a main floor unit like this one. Oceanfront is the best!!

Everything about the place was great. The only things we had difficulty with was the ease of closing the front door and back slider. If we had to get out the back way quickly, it would be very difficult.
There also wasn’t a pan/pot of any kind to cook with. There are several frying pans, but no regular pans/pots.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It's right on the water with access to a beach. It can't get any better than this.Even though its an old property, this unit has been refurbished with new appliances. Exterior doors (which are old) and locks are slightly difficult to use but it's a minor inconvenience.Unit was stocked with basic essentials needed for cooking which was useful as we did some cooking.It has parking right in front of the unit which is great.There are grocery shops and several restaurants/coffee shops within a couple of miles which is very convenient.Will definitely recommend this property for friends and family.

This is a very nice little condo directly on the water. Honestly, you couldn't get any closer to the water without being in it. Sunsets are gorgeous and there are lots of turtles in the water to watch. Kitchen is well stocked with everything that you could need. The management company was great about communications and making sure we were settled there. There is not really a direct beach at this location- there are a couple of very small beaches walking distance away. You can launch a paddle board or kayak from the steps of the sea wall though. There is a free standing air conditioner in the living room but we found that we didn't really need to use it with the trade winds and ceiling fans keeping the unit cool. The bedroom is by the parking lot and there is a very bright security light just outside the window. Bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to lights at night. Also, ear plugs are helpful as people are often getting in their cars very early in the morning for day trips/ to catch a flight. Overall, great little condo! Would recommend.

This property was recommended to us from a friend who lives part-time in Maui and was very pleased with our accommodations. Everyone around us we spoke to also had positive things to say as well.

We loved the oceanfront views here, and you are steps away from the water, as the pictures indicate. We saw so many turtles grazing on the rocks! The unit itself is very clean, the furniture was in great condition and seemed pretty new, kitchen was well stocked with silverware/cookware, etc. The location was very convenient, and just a very short drive away from the great Napili and Kapalua beaches. Also, a short drive to Lahaina from here. The management company was also very professional. An agent came over and greeted us shortly upon our arrival and dropped off a gift bag, and another agent called me later to check if everything was going smoothly. I would rent this unit again.

We had a wonderful stay at Kahana Reef 120 and will absolutely be coming back year after year! It is in a great location with wonderful amenities. Everything was clean, updated, and what we hoped and were looking for in West Maui. Within 10 minutes either direction, there are plenty of beaches, restaurants, and shopping options. You can tell the owners really care for this unit and want to provide everything you'd need for your vacation. The property management company did a great job of making sure our stay went well, reach out to us during our and letting us know when the unit was ready for check-in. We could not have been happier with our stay and would highly recommend this unit to our friends and family!
