We absolutely loved the location and neat as a pin with great amenities. Aston Mahana has views that are amazingly better than the resorts. The others look nice but you aren’t right on the water like this one. I kept saying all week that when you look out the window it has the effect like you’re on a boat cruise because all you see is water, you’re that close. And because of that you look down watching sea turtles all day every day and whales breaching and spouting in the distance. There is a coral bed right there but don’t worry, you just walk to the left side with open beach. Water shoes are a good idea. Snorkeling will show you some great aquatic life…especially those big turtles! Right next to Duke’s to grab a mai tai or pina colada. Food truck park is neat. Don’t mind the pool is not a massive lazy river. Went next door and it’s people everywhere so we thoroughly enjoyed having the pool be lower key. Beach chairs, umbrella and coolers are in perfect shape. Been to other places where they couldn’t get your tush off the sand and the back wouldn’t stay up. Met people on their anniversary that have been coming there for 23 years. That says a lot. Next time we come back we would stay here again for sure. Used Trilogy for our Molikini snorkel and sunset whale watching apps and drinks tour. They are top notch. Definitely a gem! Everyday we pinched ourselves looking out over the water. Great communication too!

This condo is perfect for 2-3 people and was very clean. The grounds of the property was very well maintained and the pool and spa were spotless (and always the right temperature). The location was ideal and the views spectacular.

This has to be one of the nicest locations on Maui. The condo is ocean-facing with a clear 180 degree view, and the building is just a few dozen feet from the beach, if that.The condo is exactly as described. Quiet, clean and spacious.We hope to be able to stay in this unit again next year.

I will give 5 stars to the condo, it’s exactly as the pictures , beautiful views, super clean , have all the amenities, close by restaurants, best beach, only disappointment was when it advertised Rental Car included, 1 day before my arrival I was informed they do not have any more cars to rent. So don’t rely on that when booking . Everything else was perfect..

Our stay in this condo was absolutely wonderful! The space is beautifully appointed, spacious, and incredibly well-equipped. The views are breathtaking, stretching from the ocean to the mountains. We loved watching whales, turtles rolling in the surf, and surfers—all from the comfort of the living room and balcony. Sarah is an exceptional hostess, providing us with all the essential information about the condo, local activities, and great restaurant recommendations. The location is perfect! Highly recommend!

This place was absolutely jaw dropping!! Me and my husband went here for our honeymoon. The property manager had extremely quick responses with the check in process which is very easy. This place had the most beautiful view of the ocean. The Mahana was so quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. The owners of the room had everything you could ever need for a vacation. Sunscreen, shampoo, laundry pods, bandaids, goggles, beach chairs, anything you can think of they had it!! Not sure we could’ve gotten a better place to stay at for our honeymoon. We also got to see a whale from the lanai and a sea turtle! This place was perfect.

Very nice condo … beautiful view …
December 2024
This was our first time in Maui/Hawaii. Before I had placed my bags down the day we got there, I walked out to the lanai and there was a sea turtle basking on the beach! The only day we didn’t see a sea turtle swimming close to shore was the morning we left. We also saw whales from the lanai and that was pretty special.The location is perfect. Lots of good restaurants around and activities to do. We snorkeled right off the shore a couple time and saw lots of fish and more sea turtles.The condo was clean and felt like a home away from home. We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to visit this same place again in the future.

The condo was beautiful and was the best stocked unit we have ever stayed in. The views are incredible and the unit is exceptional quality. The managers were very responsive to any messages. 10 out of 10!!
December 2024
We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Maui. We spent so much nice family time sitting outside on the lanai, watching sunsets, looking at the stars, spotting sea turtles, watching surfers. A short walk down the boardwalk to snorkel everyday. it was real nice having a washer and dryer, beach chairs, and a cooler. Only thing that could be improved are a few basic kitchen essentials. Such as pot holders, salt/pepper, and enough dishwasher tablets to run a load each day. We loved the locations, and were really comfortable there.

This unit has the most beautiful view that I’ve ever had at a VRBO unit. I’m not a big fan of the sand and this made me feel like I was sitting on the beach without the sand! ♥️. Every kitchen tool or supply was always handy. The unit is well stocked and I hope I get the pleasure of visiting again some day.

Beautiful place, great views. Saw lots of turtles and Whales right from the lanai everyday. Property and condo was perfect.
The cleaning company could have done a little better job. Windows had prints all over them upon arrival and couple floors were still dirty but not worth complaining about. Had a great time

Love love love!! Words and pictures don’t do this condo any justice. The check-in process was incredibly easy and quick, and the condo is well stocked. They literally think of everything. The view was amazing. You are literally right off the beach and we saw turtles and other sea life from where we were. We also left the balcony door open and closed the screen at night and the sounds of the waves lulled us to sleep every single night. When we come back to Maui, this is where we will stay. Communication was great as well.

We loved our stay at this property. The unit itself is lovely; it's comfortable, the bed is comfortable, and it's nicely decorated. It has a fabulous view of the ocean, and we saw turtles every day we were there. And the location can't be beat; it's less than a five minute walk to the food trucks, a grocery store, Dukes and a few other restaurants, and a couple excellent coffee places (including the one at the food trucks). I'd definitely stay here again!

The condo was in immaculate condition with every essential provided at our arrival. There are STUNNING views of the water from the floor to ceiling windows and the deck as far as the eye can see. It was great to have a pool and hot tub. Property managers were responsive to any questions. Location is near plenty of restaurants and activities. Highly recommend!

Excellent stay in Kaanapali - condo was perfect for my husband and I . It was just as advertised - clean, nicely furnished , ample supplies and beach gear. The views were stunning from the floor to ceiling windows - we even spotted whales from the condo - a plus with the provided binoculars! Location was perfect - grocery across street - beach boardwalk nearby and plenty of food options within walking distance. Property manager was responsive and reached out with suggestions before we arrived. Seamless checkin processs. We stayed for 8 days and never bored.

This property was everything it said it was and more! Walked in to a clean, comfortable, very well stocked, nicely decorated place. The view is unreal! Full windows and perfect lanai look out onto the most gorgeous view of the ocean! Jim and Crystal are great hosts and have literally thought of everything. Fully stocked unit made our stay so comfortable and convenient. They were so willing to help us out with any questions we had about Maui, local activities etc. Fast to respond and nice people. We will be back!

I can't say enough about the location/views at this property. It was perfection. You are practically in the ocean. And it sounds like it. No white noise machine needed here. Just open the slider. Beautiful.
Other pros: It is spacious. Lots of room for our family of two adults and two teen boys. Everything you might need in the kitchen. Well appointed/furnished. Easy and free parking. Great beach gear in unit (chairs, cooler, bags, toys).
A couple of cons: It does get quite warm in the unit, mostly in the living room. You can lower the shades all day and that helps, but it still gets hot. We liked to have the doors open. If you are happy to close them, you can turn on the AC and then cool it down. But there is NO cross breeze to cool it down naturally. The windows in the 2nd bedroom do not open. Otherwise, there are some things that could use updating and the carpet is an interesting choice.
All that said, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Fabulous.

This place was perfect, had everything we needed. You can’t get more oceanfront than this! The balcony area was very private, the pool was a great temp to dip in and out of. This is one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in, and the host was lovely to work with. You won’t regret this stay, it was just the R&R in paradise we needed.

This condo was perfect. It was fully outfitted with everything we needed for our stay, from delicious Hawaiian coffee to snorkel gear and beach chairs. We saw sea turtles, dolphins, and whales from the lanai. The onsite staff was friendly and welcoming, and the host was quick to respond and so helpful. We were sad to leave, but hope to return soon!

You really can’t be anymore oceanfront! It’s like the condo is sitting on top of the ocean!
The condo complex is at the end of a cul de sac and fairly small compared to neighboring properties. Therefore total peace and quiet. Yet, if you want more of a resort experience, there are big resorts just steps away.
Alicia is outstanding with her communication! A perfect 10 out of 10!

Enjoyed our stay overall, however comparable to other rooms we’ve been in at a similar rate at the Mahana this one was a bit “rustic”. The tile limestone flooring looks tired, the guest toilet is very weak flushing (good for going #1 only) and the furnishings could use updating. The guest toilet seems to be a known issue as there is a plunger staged close by…which we used twice. It was nice they provided beach chairs / towels and the showers were very nice! Speaking of…There are a couple of shower doors isolating the small foyer from the living area…I’m not sure what the intended purpose is…but it was a real annoyance getting in and out of the room w/ our hands full. Plenty of amenities provided including soap, paper product and anything one would need for a week or so - it would be nice to have a small first aid kit as well…something to consider. Overall a nice room - just needs a modest update.

The view from the unit was absolutely amazing! What a beautiful ocean view! We loved having the sliders open allowing the ocean breeze to flow thru even keeping them open at night to listen to the crashing waves. The unit was spotlessly clean and well stocked with all the kitchen utensils, dishes and pans you may need for a longer stay. We appreciated the beach chairs that were available for our use and the ability to do laundry right in the unit. The one and only downside was that the microwave wasn’t working but with some ingenuity on our part we managed to work around that.
All in all a great place to stay and we would definitely book this unit again in the future!
Mahalo!
