Rental Details
Property Overview
**There are many rumors surrounding vacation rentals on Maui. It's true that there is a proposed ban on some short-term rentals. That bill has not yet become law, and even if it does, it would not go into effect for our property until 2031. In the meantime, Maui is open and ready for business. We are ready to welcome you with a spirit of Aloha!**
Crew Rest Maui is a hidden gem at the north end of Ma'alaea Bay in South Maui. Our privately owned two bedroom, two bathroom beachfront 'home away from home' is a corner unit on the second floor of a four-story building directly at the water's edge. Our private lanai is directly oceanfront and looks across to neighboring Islands, the world-famous Molokini crater, and 10,000 foot Haleakala. It provides the perfect place to relax, watch the waves, and even see humpback whales during whale season.
There are HUGE benefits to a corner unit on the second floor, and it's important to understand WHY the location of the unit in the complex makes such a huge difference.
Corner units offer: the added security of not being at ground level, the privacy of having bedroom windows looking out on the beautiful courtyard, pool and ocean instead of sidewalk and parking lot and the absence of foot traffic past your private lanai. (Before booking in Kanai a Nalu, understand that the guest bedrooms of non-corner units look out onto the parking lot. Our guest bedroom has a FULL view of the ocean and pool area.)
The master bedroom has a comfortable King-size bed with a private bathroom and wall-to-wall windows with panoramic views of the beach, gardens, and pool/BBQ area. A second full bathroom with shower/tub combo is across a small alcove from the second bedroom, which has a queen bed.
There's also a Queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. It has an upgraded, memory foam mattress and is extremely comfortable. Our condo can sleep up to 6 guests.
We have gone above and beyond to provide you the little touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible and make Crew Rest Maui feel like your home away from home. You'll enjoy updated decor, ceiling fans throughout, and A/C in every single room. There are plenty of plush beach towels, some dish/laundry soap to get you started, beach toys and boogie boards, liquid hand soap in the bathrooms, velvet non-slip hangers, Keurig coffee maker, keyless entry keypad, secure WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you'll need. The living room features a smart, flat screen, wall-mounted TV with cable. Both bedrooms feature wall-mounted smart TVs with cable access as well as the ability to login to your favorite streaming service.
The private lanai is one of the best features of our unit. Again, it is DIRECTLY on the water, and not all units in the complex have such an amazing location and views. The lanai is a perfect place for reading, eating, whale watching or just plain relaxing to the sound of the gentle surf. You'll enjoy watching sea turtles (and whales during whale season) directly offshore from the lanai.
Just down the street from the condo, you'll find the core of Maalaea and the harbor area. This adorable seaside village offers a wide variety of activities such as snorkeling excursions and sunset cruises, shopping, delicious dining options, mini golf, an aquarium, and the Pacific Whale Foundation.
The central location of Crew Rest Maui is ideal for exploring all of Maui. You're just 15 minutes from the airport, 25 minutes from the North Shore, 10 minutes from Kihei, 20 minutes from Lahaina, and 5 miles or less from several golf course options.
Our favorite aspect of the Kanai a Nalu complex is the quiet, laid back feel. If you like the hustle and bustle of crowded resorts where you sleep in a cramped hotel room and share a beach and pool with hundreds of people while enjoying a $20 cocktail and $30 cheeseburger, this is not the place for you. Our spacious condo, uncrowded beach and pool, and quiet, low-key ambience provide the most relaxing vacation experience available on Maui.

We had a lovely stay with all the creature comforts at Crew Rest. We are regulars at Kanai A Nalu and really enjoyed this condo. A few bonuses were that condiments, seasoning, cooking spray were all there. Awesome. because some places have nothing! The beds were comfy, the view was lovely as usual and we always enjoy the pool. The condo was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed and more.
We felt right at home. The condo had everything we needed. We saw turtles everyday, used the grills down by the pool, walked to the beach, and listened to the waves at night. The bed in the master suite was very comfortable. We were close to the harbor where we boarded the boat for a sunset dinner cruise one night, also where we boarded for snorkeling the next day. The condo was perfectly located so it never felt like we had to drive far to find fun things to do. Mike & Stephanie were awesome & I highly recommend them & this property.
The condo was very well stocked with bedding, pillows, towels, suntan lotion, beach equipment, dishes, and utensils except for shampoo/conditioner/shower soap. The primary bed was very comfortable (on the softer side). Loved having separate AC units but rarely used them. Unit needs some updating - cabinets don't align, doors have major scuffs/dents, main shower is very dark, fridge leaked. Appreciated the lanai but didn't like looking at the seawall. The front door is extremely heavy and slams shut. Unit is very quiet even being next to the pool. Owner is very communicative and the booking/check in process was a breeze.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Crew Rest in Maalaea! Tje condo was very clean and comfortable and literally everything we needed was provided for. The view from the lanai was amazing—we spotted many whales and several turtles! The grounds of the condo were lovely—it’s well situated and was very quiet! Mahalo!
Our stay at Jeffers condo was absolutely wonderful. Being able to wake up to the ocean and fall asleep to the sound of the waves was heaven! The condo was equipped with everything you could ask for. Thank you for an amazing vacation!
We enjoyed our first family visit! The condo had a wonderful view (turtles in the mornings and even a few whales in the bay). The space was nice and the location was great for walking to the harbour and driving to both west and south Maui. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. Mahalo.
The place was in a great location. We swam with turtles outside the unit and it is located next to a park good for relaxing, swimming or snorkeling. The condo was stocked very well and we are even going to use some of the ideas at our beach rental in Florida..use some of the
The view is worth everything. Condo location is convenient to many restaurants and anything else you need. Comfortable beds and lots of supplies provided including beach chairs and snorkeling gear, water shoes and too many other items to name. Nice beach area within walking distance at the end of the road. Only issue was parking was tight due to many spots were blocked off at the time for some reason
We had a fabulous stay here. The ocean is right off the lanai. We ate every breakfast here and several dinners. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals. The location is great. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from the crowded resorts. The central location makes it easy to get to all areas of the island. The unit had a/c but the trade winds blow reliably and kept the unit pleasant with the windows open to hear the ocean. We had an issue with a ceiling fan that was fixed promptly. The beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t imagine a better place to stay here.
Day 1 through day 12 was nothing less than perfect! Listening to the waves crash right outside our window was wonderful. The condo was the perfect size for 4 adults. We walked to Haycraft Beach almost everyday with ease. This was actually one of our favorite beaches we visited. We were centrally located and never felt we were to far from anything we wanted to do! We will definitely The corner unit was a plus. Unfortunately, 2 days before we left, they cut down 3 palm trees in front of the condo but it’s still a beautiful view!
Great location. Condo is perfect and the views were amazing.
Beautiful spot looking out over the ocean. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sea turtles were right out front playing in the waves everyday. The location was quite central for the driving tours we did on the island. We were able to get a good sleep everynight as the beds were comfortable and the ceiling fan or a/c kept the room at a good temperature. Great place !
The location was perfect. Its some of the best weather you usually avoid rain. Watched Whales, and Turtles from the Lanai. Haycraft Park is a gem on the end of a long beach. Snorkeled with Turtles and saw many fish.
Condo was right on the water between the marina and the beaches at Kihei. Great view and nice breeze. The condo had air conditioning but we didn’t need it. If we return to Maui in the future we will definitely try to stay in this condo again. Oh I forgot to mention whale activity can be spotted anytime in daylight hours. Great experience.
Perfect location for the close beach access, sunrise off balcony over the ocean with mountain view. We were also fortunate to see whales and turtles swimming near by. Less busy area, but 4 miles from Kihea. Would come here again.
Perfect place. Quiet neighborhood. Beach within walking distance. Fully equipped with everything you need for the beach. Loved the fact that beach chairs and boogie boards were there. Rooms were super. Right on the ocean. Kids loved the pool. Washer and dryer right in the condo was great to have. Also, private parking was also a plus.
Crew Rest Maui was a great location. The 2 bedroom/2 bath unit worked well for our family. The lanai was enjoyed morning, noon, and night. Listening to the waves of the Pacific crashing on shore, and seeing whales surfacing was a treat. We had a good time.
