We have stayed at the Mahana for 20 plus years. This is by far one of the nicest units we have ever stayed in. Would definitely give it 10/10 and highly recommend. Looking to go back in the Spring and Fall 2025 and will definitely stay in this unit.

This place is incredible. We spent much of our time just staring at the sea turtles in the surf! The whole condo is gorgeous and had everything we needed. Parking is ample and very close. Elevator was very close. Pool and BBQ area were spotless. This place is incredible. Walk to Dukes for a drink or meals. Grocery store across the street. The condo has everything you need and is stunning. You won’t regret staying here. You will want to come back, just like we do!!! Thanks for having us!!!

We visited Maui for first time and stayed in this beautiful condo , right on the ocean , beach . Breathtaking view of pacific with Lanai and Molokai island from the living area , balcony . Beautifully decorated home. Balcony has a nice dining table to have breakfast, sit there for gorgeous sunset with a glass of drink or tea. Kitchen is well stocked with nice dinnerwares , except silverwares , those needs replaced. I would prefer a more comfortable mattress, that’s about it. They have enough beach towel , cooler , beach chairs , everything is ready for a great day either at beach or drive to other beaches around the island. Very convenient restaurant next door or food truck at close by location for dinner.

We weren’t sure about staying in this area as we had always stayed south of Black Rock…we were quite impressed and so happy we opted to try this location out! Great snorkeling just steps to the south, and the condo amenities we very nice and updated. We will stay here again!

When we walked in the door we were met with the most beautiful breathtaking view of the ocean! The furniture and bed is very nice and comfortable. We watched turtles swimming in the ocean right from the comfort of the living room. The TV's are on the small size and could definitely be larger. There was not enough silverware, bowls, or tall glassware so we had to run the dishwasher each day. It is in a great location and close to food trucks and a grocery store. There is not a beach in front of the property but there is one right next door. Over all this is a very nice place and I would recommend it.

From the moment we walked in the views got us. It was absolutely beautiful with the ocean views. Our highlight was everyday around 3:00 the Sea turtles would show up and put on a show for us. They stayed for over and hour each day. The Condo itself was very well appointed with everything you would need. The chairs were a hit and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be returning to Mahana for our next stay. You can't beat the sunsets from the balcony. Thanks for everything Crystal and Jim.

Our stay was wonderful. The balcony is right on the water with what I believe has to be one of the best views on the island. Room was as listed. Beach was nice for being right outside the property but was a bit rocky however great for snorkeling as we saw multiple sea turtles. Would definitely stay again

Quyen’s place was a perfect location. We were able to enjoy all Maui has to offer. We would have been comfortable just hanging out on the lanai with the beautiful ocean views. The floor to ceiling windows were fantastic. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui

You can't get much closer to the beach! We slept to the sounds of the surf every night. We loved having coffee on the balcony in the morning and watching the sunset every evening. This truly is a slice of heaven.

September 2024

The unit was everything as in the pictures. Didn't disappoint. Hearing the waves an night, lulling you to slumber land, what a treat! Almost everything you need ( could use an umbrella and and a not broken cooler handle) The mirrored wall gives you a virtual 180 degree view, to see lots of turtles! Decent snorkeling out front. Saw turtles, lobsters and a large stingray. Plus a bunch of colorful fish. The grounds and property are very well kept . We would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful time in Kaanapali and the VRBO was a big part of it. The condo was clean, it had a fantastic view of the ocean. The sunsets and moonsets were amazing. Snorkeling gear, boogie boards beach towels were all provided to increase the beach experience. The facility has BBQ grills on site were clean and available and helped with being able to stay in for meals. We had a malfunction with the sunshade in the condo, but we reported it and it was fixed that same day. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

This exceeded our expectations. We had to postpone our stay by one year due to the Lahaina fires. Sarah the owner worked with us to make our trip happen as it was intended as a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The views are better than the pictures and you won't want to leave the lanai. I would have given it 10 stars if I could have.
Elaine B.

September 2024

Wonderful property with ample surface lot parking with a short walk to the front door of the unit. Owner fully stocked the unit to where we did not need to go to the grocery/drug store to pick up a thing. The pictures online are exactly what the condo looks like. The view from the balcony is spectacular, perfect for sharing breakfast from Papi’s Ohana on. The living room is a little warm from the evening sun, but cools off nicely once the sun goes down. We had a great trip and enjoyed our stay immensely.

We loved our stay at this Maui Condo! Amazing view right off of the balcony. Could watch sea turtles and boats and every evening's sunset on the Pacific Ocean. Great kitchen, great shower, and a beautiful pool and hot tub (and it was nice and hot!). We would definitely recommend this location and come back!

We’ve stayed at the Mahana many times and this was the nicest unit we’ve ever rented. It was furnished and stocked like it was meant for the owner. No problems. Good quality appliances, dishes, mattress, TVs, WiFi. The view on the top floor was exceptional especially when watching the turtles and sunsets. Host was very responsive and had lots of beach chairs and toys available.

- was great in every way- saw sea turtles from room daily and central to everything
A S.
September 2024

Overall the room would have been fine, except it was in disrepair when we got here. The slider to the lanai was broken, so we couldn’t get fresh air, worse- the AC didn’t work because the slider had a sensor that automatically shut it down. Brutally hot first two nights- no sleep. They finally fixed it on 3rd day. From then on it was fine. I asked for a credit for the 1st 2 nights. No response from Managers. Unreasonable that they rented us a room that they know was not as advertised
Russell R.
September 2024

Some pluses and minuses. The condo itself is spacious and very clean and beautiful views of the ocean. Location is absolutely perfect right next-door to Dukes and whalers Village. Negatives, there is very little stocking of anything to use in the kitchen, only salt and pepper. We did find seven cockroaches., that was unnerving. Would still recommend. OK
Cindy Ceelou I.
September 2024

This property was just amazing! The location is perfect! We loved just walking to the beach snorkeling along the water up to back rock and back! Seriously saw so many seals and turtles! Of all the places we snorkeled, this was one of my top places! Fun places just to relax in the water. Perfect view of the islands! Honestly way better than the big resorts and way less people. The bed and sheets and pillows were so freaking comfortable! And all the supplies you will need. We stopped at Walmart on our way in expecting to need stuff but didn't use any of it!!! I would being reef friendly shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The air conditioner was amazing, the fan in the bedroom was finicky so if you need a fan I would pick one up. You couldn't hear anyone. We heard the upstairs neighbors re arranging their furniture once. Having a washer and dryer was amazing for fresh towels! The only thing was the blender was kind of gross. It had mold in it and the bottom was dripping black stuff. Even after washing and using bottled water our smoothies had a gross taste. They do have a Keurig, which made my husband happy. The birds are sweet and I loved having my coffee outside in the am and drinks in the pm. Such a beautiful place. If we're ever able to visit Maui again we will come here!

Absolutely perfect. Waves crashing a few yards from our comfortable lanai. Great view of the sun setting between Molokai and Lanai. Loved watching the birds and dolphins. Place was equipped with everything we needed. Would happily return.

We loved the condo. It was so well appointed and clean. The beach view was wonderful. We had one little hiccup with the air conditioning but our host had it taken care of quickly. Very responsive!

From stay to finish, location, amenities and experience was unbelievable!! From the entrance into the condo to the patio directly over the beach and ocean, hands down the greatest vacation ever! We highly recommend anyone looking for a top notch home away fr9m home. Everything was raadily available and best quality amenities.
Valerie G.
September 2024

Rented for the view and the condo delivered! We saw turtles, dolphins and gorgeous sunsets. Walking distance to hotels with restaurants, and a grocery store and other food options. Driving distance to other great restaurants and excursions. Condo was clean and comfy!! Wished there was a brita water filter since I enjoy filtered water. Just bought some water from the store across the street. Very appreciative there were beach chairs, an umbrella and snorkeling gear if we wanted to use it. Super happy overall.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The balcony has amazing views, the windows throughout the apartment made everything brighter. The apartment was very well stocked as well. We would stay here again.

This was the fourth time we've stayed at the Mahana in various condo's and this was our favorite by far!!! We love the location right on the water and easy access to so many things! Communication with the owner was spot on and the condo was very clean. They provided so many amenities, everything you needed was there. I was impressed with their beach chairs, umbrella, etc. They were in great shape just like new. Some of the other condo's we've stayed at provided beach items but many times they were worn and broken. Don't hesitate to stay at this condo, highly recommended! Thank you Crystal & Jim!

The view was you expect with sunsets included if it's clear. You can see turtles in the water. The bed is comfortable The microwave is finicky to use, no ice maker and they added a toaster oven. Could use a newer TV. It's only big enough for two people. We enjoyed it very much.
Robert c.
August 2024

The whole experience, from booking, through check in, through our stay, and check out was exceptional. The view from the room is breathtaking. During our stay in mid-August, the sun set perfectly between Lanai and Molokai with the only risk to a beautiful sunset were the clouds. The property was immaculate. The beach is an elevator ride and just a few steps away. We swam with sea turtles and could see schools of dolphins from the balcony. Duke’s is easy walking distance for a quick meal. Maui Paradise Properties (the property management group) gave great instructions through the whole process. They even gave us weather warnings. Through no fault of the property, we experienced a brief blackout due to an impending storm. At just past midnight, the management group was answering texts about the blackout and the storm. Highly recommended. We’d stay there again!

August 2024

Provided beach chairs, snorkels, etc were great! Room was nice. Great location (so much sea life visible from the balcony and the beach). The only thing I would improve on is the bed is extra firm.
