Rental Details

Property Overview

Kanai A Nalu (“Gentle Breeze”) is located in Maalaea; a place often called “Maui’s best kept secret”. Our condo is direct OCEANFRONT, BEACHFRONT! You simply cannot get any closer to the ocean than our beautifully upgraded, ground floor unit!

From the lanai, gaze out and watch the sun rise over Haleakala (House of the Sun), the long dormant 10,000 foot volcano. Watch green sea turtles bobbing up for air and rolling in the surf, even sunning themselves on the beach. In the winter months (Nov-April) you will have a front row seat to breaching whales as they come back to the islands to give birth and nurse their young in the warm Hawaiian waters. In the summer months during a good south swell, you can watch surfers on the legendary surf break “Freight Trains”, one of the world’s fastest surfable waves.

Brew yourself a cup of freshly ground Kona coffee and make up a plate of local papaya, mango and bananas and sit out on the lanai with the Pacific Ocean just steps away. Why settle for less when you’ve come all this way to experience paradise?

You may find that a week (or even a month) is not enough time to fully appreciate this place. We welcome long-term renters, retirees and snowbirds to come and stay awhile!
Kids are welcome too: we provide the playpen, highchair and beach toys. They’ll love swimming in the complex pool and picking bananas from the tree right beside the lanai!

Be one of the first to enjoy our recently remodeled ground floor 2 bed, 2 bath condo. Travertine floors throughout, new granite countertops and all new furnishings. Details are important to us, that is why we transported unique lighting fixtures thousands of miles in our suitcases and made custom accent bedding and pillows for the bedrooms. We’ve installed some great perks like electric blinds, plantation shutters and a wine cooler. Even the things that may not be noticeable like quality fixtures, nice doors and a good quiet garbage disposal all work together to create a luxurious feeling.
On top of that we filled the space with original local art from Maui artisans. In the living room, we have showcased the beautiful fine art photography of Christopher Eagan (Lahaina). In the kitchen we had 2 large custom tile mosaics crafted by Makena Tile. In the master bath, a floor to ceiling bamboo design in etched tile by Janie Aldrige.

The Master Suite is truly a oceanfront retreat, with a King sized platform bed, flat screen TV and decadent white bedding with custom accent pillows. The Master bath is luxurious with a huge walk-in shower and double vanities with wall to wall mirrors reflecting all the beautiful surroundings and ocean views.
Before bed, take one last look at the moonlight shimmering on the Pacific and fall asleep listening to the rhythmic sound of the surf.
The guest bedroom has 2 Tommy Bahama styled twin beds with gel foam mattress toppers, clean crisp white bedding and custom made accent linens made from vintage Alfred Shaheen (the man behind the iconic Hawaiian Shirts) fabrics. The bedroom also has a small flat screen TV with cable and a cooling ceiling fan.

The kitchen of our condo is well equipped for those who want to cook and Kanai A Nalu has a BBQ area near the heated pool located in the center of the complex.
Our unit offers guests free long distance within the US and Canada as well as secure, high speed WiFi. 42” Flat screen TV with cable.
Maalaea’s trade winds provide a cooling breeze that keeps the temperatures just right, although we have a timer controlled A/C in the living room just in case.

We provide the beach toys, snorkel sets, boogie boards, skim board, sand toys & beach chairs...so grab some toys and explore your eco-diverse surroundings. Amazing boogie boarding, paddle boarding and snorkeling right in front of our unit!
20 steps off the lanai, and your toes are in the sand of one of Maui’s longest beaches. 4 miles of secluded sand to walk, run and beachcomb. You won’t find any crowds though because access to the beach is protected from the road by the bird-filled-ponds of Kealia Wildlife Refuge. It is so amazing to walk this beach and literally feel like you have it all to yourself!

A 5 minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to Maalaea Harbor where you will find a small grocery store, deli, craft market, restaurants and the Maui Ocean Center (Maui’s #1 tourist attraction), the Pacific Whale Foundation, miniature golf, shopping and most of the ocean activities available on Maui (sunset dinner cruises, deep sea fishing, snorkeling tours & whale watching).
Centrally located Maalaea, makes getting anywhere on the island easy. 15 minutes from the airport, a 5 minute drive south and you are in the long village of Kihei and a bit further, the ritzy resorts of Wailea. Twenty minutes to the west is the old whaling village of Lahaina, with it’s magnificent Banyan Tree and shopping galleries. You couldn’t be in a better location to explore all Maui has to offer.

We would love to share our getaway with you. It gives us great pleasure to have others experience the exquisite gem that is Maui. Its setting, its rain forests, mountains, beaches, upcountry adventures and the underwater world to explore, make Maui truly magical!

This is a lovely condo with direct views of the water. Very comfortable and charming. Always an ocean breeze. Well equipped kitchen including paper products which is a nice addition. Nice location away from the big resorts. Mostly quiet except it is in the path of planes but not at night. Owners are quick to answer any questions or respond to issues..Close to Wailuku and the great restaurants nad bakery there. Great new Foodland for grocery shopping in Kehalani. Nice beach about a block away. We had a very nice stay and were sorry to leave.

We LOVED our stay in this cute little condo! I always really appreciate when a rental has clearly spent time trying to make the space feel intentional and homey. The location was amazing, 20min driving to anything you could want and you cannot beat being steps from the ocean. The lanai truly was our favorite part, we loved watching the sunrise, waves, turtles, and sunsets. Todd and Cindy were beyond accommodating and we will be back!

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Todd and Cindy’s condo. The condo is updated, comfortable and equipped with everything needed for a wonderful vacation. The view is to die for and the condo is steps away from the ocean and a lovely pool. Would love to return soon!

We really enjoyed our stay. The location of this was great. We loved being ground floor and being able to walk out and take in the beautiful view. The activities we chose to do were in a very reasonable distance from the condo. Def a nice place to stay to enjoy Maui!

This condo is beautiful! We loved the artistic Hawaiian decor. We enjoyed the beach supplies which included: snorkel masks, flippers, sand shoes, boogie boards and beach chairs. The view was lovely and the condo is close to an uncrowded beach. We also liked being able to walk to Maalaea Harbor for a boat tour, the small shopping area, a few restaurants, and the Maui Ocean Center. The condo's location made it easy to take day trips in all directions.

We had never been to Hawaii so decided it was the place to go to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This spacious condo was perfect. It was in a great location to get to different parts of the island. It had an awesome view of the water. We enjoyed sitting on the first floor Lanai and watching the waves, the surfers, and the sea turtles. It had everything we needed including beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and towels. It was a short walk to a nice beach that even had some shade trees.The bed was very comfortable. The unit was very clean and well stocked with items we could use. It was nice to be able to turn on the air conditioner when we needed it. Cindy and Todd were very easy to communicate with. Mahalo.

We gave this stay as a gift to our son and family. Their report was that the location was perfect, the beach was just steps away (and they did get to see and experience the turtles right from the beach. They said it was a beautiful place, comfortable and spacious. They enjoyed it immensely which made my husband and I very happy! Additionally, I was the one communicating with the hosts along the way as arrangements were being made. They were just incredible!

Second time staying here and would love to come again! Very comfy unit with everything you need. Only needed AC in living room once while there. Other times the nice trade winds kept us cool. Keeping the windows open and listening to the waves crashing was relaxing. Sitting on the lanai watching the blue ocean waters and turtles bobbing was awesome. Having the beach just steps away was amazing. I can’t recommend this place enough. Cindy and Todd thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible! Mahalo!

My wife and two of our older granddaughters had a great time at this property and Maui. Although there is no beach accessible immediately in front of the condo, the view is fabulous and....you only have to go less than 100 yards to miles of open beach. Many great walks and water activities were enjoyed along this building free beach. The condo was well furnished and pantry stocked with every essential. Instructions/information were excellent. Great communication with the property host (Cindy). Would definitely stay there again!!

The property is so close to the water that we could hear and see every wave crash which made for awesome coffee in the morning. By opening the window at night, the sound made a relaxing night’s sleep. The property is located centrally to everything in Maui. We were 30 minutes or less from almost everything we wanted to do. We’d definitely stay here again!

Property was nice, great location. Loved being on the lower level so no lugging stuff up and down steps. Very close to a beach. The only complaint is the kitchen silverware drawer could have been a little cleaner also base of master shower. But neither were horrible…just needed some attention. Overall we were very pleased with our stay.

Wake up each morning to the sound of the waves after sleeping on a very comfortable mattress and step outside to watch the sunrise over the mountain with its reflection on the ocean. This condo is beautifully decorated and ocean front. The location is perfect. Having twin beds that were comfortable was perfect for my daughters. And I appreciated that they had their own bathroom. We loved being on the ground floor and walking out from the lanai to the beach or pool. We wish we had several more weeks here.

Unbeatable views. Loved watching turtles eating along the shore and the whales in the bay. Convenient location to everything. Kitchen was well stocked along with the bathrooms. The patio was our favorite hangout. It was nice being on lower level for loading and unloading. Decor was beautifully done. It was nice we could drop our groceries and suitcases before the condo was ready. Thank you for sharing your Maui home.

This condo is in an absolutely perfect location to explore all of Maui. It sits at the western end of Ma’alea Bay on a residential street, along with six or seven other small condo buildings. As a result, the area is quiet and very private, but you can access a 5 mile long, sandy Beach by walking down the seawall at the building, or taking a three minute walk to the end of the road where the state park begins. We walked the beach, as well as the adjacent nature preserve, every day. Every day we sat on our lanai and watched the whales, jumping in the bay. It was absolutely incredible. We also walked to the little market area that surrounds the Maui Ocean Center every day for ice cream. The unit itself is wonderful. Beautifully decorated, more than adequately stocked with everything. The bed in the master bedroom is incredibly comfortable, the towels and linens are soft, in the shower in the master bathroom is incredible. We highly recommend this unit and would absolutely stay there again on our next trip to Maui.

We stayed at the McKenna condo for 10 nights and it was very well equipped with everything we needed for a great stay. You cannot beat the view in addition with being on the ground floor, we loved it. The ocean is right there and falling asleep to the waves crashing every night was so relaxing. The complex was busy but we never had any noise issues and there was always plenty of space to spread out at the pool and beach. Todd and Cindy were quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. It was a great stay, thank you for hosting us!!
