Our stay in the Mahana condo was a very positive one. It was clean, quiet, abundantly furnished, communication with manager was great.

Gorgeous view and perfect location, would be 5 stars across board but disappointed in certain aspects, especially as compared to other units in which we’ve stayed in the Mahana at equivalent rates. Our stay was two weeks. Very frequent VRBO travelers. Found couch cushions and table chair upholstery in need of cleaning. Most disappointing was condo lacked certain items that are VRBO basics, in our experience. We felt a little “nickeled and dimed” having to buy these items for ourselves after asking property manager twice and receiving no response — e.g., no basic cleaning product to clean countertops and glass table after each instance of cooking/eating use; no brush, sponge, or other scrubbing pad was provided for kitchen sink, to clear stuck on food from dishes before putting in dishwasher or to clean items not appropriate for dishwasher; no salt, not even a plastic shaker, in cupboards. Also, kitchen utensils are comparatively sparse for cooking, for those who enjoy it when VRBO’ing — as an example, two micro-tiny cutting boards in kitchen, not even big enough to slice fruit or vegetables. Master bed had no bedspread, instead was covered only by two white top sheets with a thin blanket in between. On 12th day of our stay was a knock on the door, a plastic sack with what turned out to be a bed spread was handed to my wife; delivery person said it had been cleaned for the owner who would be staying in the unit soon but that we were “free” to use it if we wished. Just odd.

Loved it. I hope everyone stays away so it’s available for me next time. 😆

I don’t know where to begin but I’ll start with the view perfect, amazing, breathtaking, wow! Large lanai with beautiful view, access to lanai from living room and bedroom, immaculate, kitchen has all the essentials, rainfall shower, beach essentials (ex: boogie boards, snorkel gear, cooler, etc.). I wish I could have stayed longer, the sunrise/sunset was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see whales several times throughout our stay. I have beautiful memories and will definitely return on our next trip.

AMAZING! Just stop looking and book this! I really cannot say enough about how beautiful this unit is. Loved everything. Property is perfect, very close to everything. We stayed at a very nice condo in Kauai and didn’t think this would be the same, but this far surpassed it. We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck and walking down 4 steps to the beach. We will definitely be back! 10 stars!

We had an amazing time in this space. Easy check in. Beautifully equipped and wonderfully situated near anything and everything near Kaanapali. Seeing the turtles from the lanai and the amazinv sunsets made it all the better! We'll stay here again!

We stayed here in August 2022. Unit was just as described. Everything you would need to have a wonderful time. Perfect location, Top floor with a GREAT view. You will not be disappointed for booking here. Kitchen very well stocked, all appliances are very new. Beach items needed are stored in the closet. I'd stay here again. Property very well maintained.

The view from this unit was amazing, we loved watching the turtles and catching the sunset from the balcony. We took advantage of the beach chairs and boogie boards that were kept in the unit and brought them down to the beautiful beach each time. Though the beach in front of the condo isn’t swimmable because of the reef, it was a short walk over to the public beach which was never too crowded. The hosts were great communicators, as soon as Linda found out there would be construction on the roof during our stay, she immediately contacted us to see if there was anything she could do to make the stay better.

The property is located in a wonderful area where you have beautiful views of the ocean and getting off the elevator. We enjoyed our two weeks staying at the condo.

Look no further than Mahana 12th floor with views you won’t experience anywhere else! You can’t get any closer to the ocean with the floor to ceiling views when you step in-I felt like I was flying over the ocean/walking on water. Privacy from the large lanai is so nice-sunsets are epic! Big plus was being able to see the turtles below-aid love to come for whale season since I get sea sick;you would get a front seat with the comforts of home. I’ve never slept in a more comfortable bed-better than my own!
Kathy and Linda were super responsive to questions we had and updates for the unit. We will rebook for sure if we stay in the Kanaapali side in the future!

This was a great stay in a great location. My wife and I enjoyed our early morning coffee on the balcony of this 12th floor unit. You can’t be any closer to the water with absolutely nothing in your way to obstruct your view. The water was crystal clear and we were able to see turtles all day long. I also think I spotted a small shark. It was a great view of the other islands and boats passing by. The mirrors in the unit made the views even better. We also were able to take walks along the water which connects all the way down to the Hyatt. There were plenty of amenities in the unit. The bed was comfortable and the temperature was just right. We were able to us the AC when we needed to. We also took advantage of the pool. I highly recommend this unit and this complex.

Linda’s apartment was perfect for us with perfect views and very nice decors. She has obviously put in attention to details to creat a gorgeous place in every way. We will be back for sure. Comfortable bed and very clean.

This unit is incredibly clean. We had family in other rooms in the same complex and our unit was the cleanest and best appointed. The kitchen had everything and large work spaces. We became the gathering place for the group.

The photos & description were spot on - the property was exactly what we anticipated and check in instructions were easy to follow. Whales, whales, whales!!!! We stayed over Christmas and saw SO MANY whales out the windows and walking the beaches. Christmas Day was whale jumping apparently they enjoyed the lack of boats. And sea turtles!!! So many turtles at the reef below every day we found a few to watch and surfers or paddlers. Bed was very comfortable and pillows too. Great to have beach gear on hand and a cooler - so thoughtful. No issues at all and had a wonderful stay - would return!

You can’t get a better view than the top floor of the Mahana. We’ve stayed in half a dozen places in the Mahana, and this was one of the best. Every thing you need, including lots of pleasant surprises like aluminum foil. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable furniture and bed. Large new TV that was really appreciated during several days of bad weather.

Incredible view. Don’t hear the other rooms. Loved swimming in the ocean each day. We learned to walk further fo the best sand beach.

The place is 45 minutes away from the airport. It is more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. Equipped with everything you need:iron, body surf boards, scuba gear, towels. coffee maker, hangers and it is also very well decorated but the most amazing part of the room is the beautiful view of the ocean. Parking is simple and close and the apt is walking distance to alot of eating places

It was my fiancé and my first time on Maui, staying in Kaanapali made our trip. The views from the condo were epic, we loved leaving the slider open at night and listening to the waves. Although right in front of the condo doesn’t have a large beach we walked down a bit and enjoyed the ocean there. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances and dishes. Location was perfect for us, close to Lahaina and other amenities (grocery store, food trucks, coffee). My only suggestion would be to have bath robes in the condo. Other then that it was an amazing week on Maui.

This condo has the most beautiful oceanfront view of Molokai and Lanai. It is conveniently located by Lahaina and several big and private beaches. The condo itself is fully equipped (beaches, snorkeling gear, and an umbrella). There are food trucks only a 5 minute walk from the building. I could keep going with all of the amazing things. 10/10, highly recommend!

We had an awesome time… sleeping to the sound of the ocean, watching the gorgeous sunsets from our lanai, having coffee while watching the turtles right below us!! Very close to everything you want and need.!!
Will definitely be back. !!!

Such a great trip! We went to Maui for our honeymoon and had a awesome time at this condo. Being on the top floor looking directly out to the ocean was perfect. Had lots of cooking utensils and pots and pans and was just great. Definitely would go back. After talking with some other people who traveled to Maui, they said we got the best place/view in all of Maui. I would have to agree.

The property and location are perfect, and you truly can't beat the view. I debated staying here versus Whaler's Village, and am so happy we did. It was a great location in my opinion, and private with the ocean view so you are not facing other condos.

We are here now on our last days and I have to tell you what a place!! Just like they describe all new everything and the view is spectacular. We watch the turtles and the whaleso the out the floor to ceiling windows and balcony. We paid for snorkeling trips but really you do not need to go anywhere but right down stairs. Skip Molikini it was a disappointment after we snorkeled here. We even saw an 8 ft. reef shark today. No fighting over lounge chairs there is plenty and spread out. Not on top of each other. There is everything you need and then some. There is a grocery store across the street. You should go to the condo first though. It is nice that they seem to leave salt, pepper and spices. We will let everyone we know about this secret hidaway. I am so happy we found this place. Awesome!!

My wife and I had a truly wonderful time. The pictures and description do not do the condo justice. You have to be there to really appreciate its beauty. We were fortunate to be able to see whales and turtles from the lanai. The sunsets were unbelievable. The condo was quiet and very well equipped with appliances, dishes, pots and pans, etc. Although the code we were given for the door was incorrect the problem was quickly solved with one phone call. Dukes restaurant was a good place to go for happy hour. We also made good use of the barbecues. The brew pub, about two minutes up the highway, is a great place for a beer and a cheap lunch. Times grocery store is only a five minute stroll from the condo and has good prices for groceries. Costco is the best place to buy your alcohol but if there are only two of you it is a tough place to buy small quantities of food. All and all this was a great place to stay and I would and have recommended it to all my friends and relatives.

My wife and I stayed here for 7 nights to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. This was a first class experience all the way from start to finish. The owner was very easy to work with and responded to my e-mails very quickly. Her customer service skills are amazing. Checking in couldn't have been easier. The condo is just beautiful and even better than the stunning pictures. If you want ocean front, this is as ocean front as you can get anywhere. If you are looking for amazing sunsets from your Lanai, you've got it!! How about a fully equipped kitchen with everything you can imagine for your stay. I can't think of one thing we needed that wasn't in the condo. The furniture is modern, in excellent condition and very comfortable. The TV's are flat screens and top of the line quality. Get this - just about every light in the place is on a dimmer. You have as much or as little light as you want at any time of the day. The shower is very spacious with two shower heads. The bedroom has access to the lanai, the bed is very comfortable and there is a ton of room for your clothes in the dressers and the closet. There were towels, beach chairs and a boogie board for our use. The lanai is very spacious with nice furniture. The parking is free and a short walk to the elevator. The main lobby is very nice with a coffee/snack bar open most of the day. The pool and hot tub are clean and water temperatures were perfect. We didn't barbecue, but if you plan to, the grilling area is really really nice. The beach right outside the unit isn't a swimming beach, but a short walk to the north is a really nice beach. It wasn't an inconvenience at all. I can't tell you enough how much we enjoyed our stay, but I can tell you we will be staying here again. Thanks for making our vacation such a pleasure. This was a first class experience all the way!!!!

Gorgeous! Walked in and wow-better than the pictures!! Plenty of living space and storage space in the big closet and many dresser & bath drawers. Beautiful stonework throughout-the flecks of gold in the kitchen counter and backsplash especially. Large shower-easy to fit my 4 yr old with one of us to wash. Loved the new applicances! Well stocked kitchen-lots of spices, coffee etc here already, and condiments and stuff in the fridge. Would recommend checking it out before buying your own. Many gadgets in the kitchen, and plates/glasses.
The view is breath taking! I think I stood for at least an hour before I moved just watching the sun dance on the water making it look like diamonds every where. And the water color sunsets you just have to see for yourself. One thing I really liked is that the lanai railing is plexiglass-I didn't have to worry about my 4 yr old fitting between bars. We also really appreciated the sun filtering tinted shades that blocked the heat but left some view to be seen, and the central a/c when we needed it. Love that we had the a/c throughout, not just in one front room leaving you baking further back in the condo like some complexes. Had some beach toys supplied too.
The pool area was very nice-lots of slate, recently remodeled. Huge hot tub. Loved the grill area with the work table and sinks. Appreciated the bathrooms w/showers & changing area. If you have a late flight, you could still enjoy the beach etc, then shower before leaving. Parking lot felt very secure.
We enjoyed the many aspects of the beach-at low tide we'd go down and look at the tide pools in the rocks and see the critters/fish. If we wanted to swim more we'd walk a very short distance on either side of the building. This year, my husband will be able to snorkel it too. There is also a really nice park just down the beach-Kahekili with showers, toilets, picnic area and plenty of parking. It's on the beachwalk but easier to drive it so you don't have to walk back exhausted. Groceries across the street at Times.
The owner, Linda, is very attentive. I emailed upon arrival that someone had grabbed her beach towels (just to let her know-was going to buy a couple) and within maybe an hour or so there were some delivered. Wonderful service. Linda was always very prompt in her responses-which is great when you might have a couple of condos lined up to inquire about. But...you won't need to inquire beyond this one-this is it! Thanks Linda for sharing it with us!

Just wanted to send a quick note to say how much we enjoyed your place at the Mahana. We had a day of rain near the end of our trip, but we had a wonderful time regardless. The whales and the dolphins put on an incredible show for us while we were there and we managed to see a few places we'd never been before. We're hoping to go back again next year and we'll definitely check to see if your unit is available.
March 2010
Just wanted to thank you guys (Linda and Kathy) for sharing your amazing condo with us, we could not have been more pleased. The view is to die for and the location is perfect. Your recommendations were a big help also. We are already planning our return trip!
March 2010
Beautiful condo! We stayed here from Feb 25-March 4th and loved everything about this condo. Very tastefully decorated, updated and extremely comfortable. The owners have turned the bathroom into a tiled walk-in shower vs a shower/tub which was just ideal! All tile through out, beautiful granite kitchen counters and of course the views from the 12th floor can't be denied.
It was too comfortable to leave. We'll definitely return to 1204. THIS is the place to stay!

HAd the most glorious vacation of my life at this condo. It is absolutely wonderful! So well maintained and quiet. A perfect retreat for a couple or a family of 4. Completely equiped. And the view is AMAZING !
