Only con was condo furniture very sparseAnd not very comfortable. No dresser in bedroom. Patio furniture plastic wicker hard and rough. One chair no ottoman in unit. Bar stools very high. Edge on refrigerator very sharp and dangerous on freezer door.
Our original reservation at another VRBO property was made 8 months ago, and 12 days before departure we were notified it was cancelled due to planned repairs. Few options were available so we grabbed this location at a significant $$ increase over the previous one.
It felt dingy, the floors were so dirty we had to wash our feet before getting into bed, the shower is a dark hole, the A/C system is a pain to work, the patio door howled w/ the winds. The bed is comfortable.
It’s the most expensive VRBO we’ve ever stayed in, and the worst experience we’ve ever had.

We stayed in this apartment in February 2023 for two weeks. It has a fantastic ocean front location with a beautiful view, The location is great especially if you prefer peace and quiet. The ocean is literally steps away. The apartment is clean and nicely laid out. We hope to stay here again.
The location is awesome -- ocean front, in a town that is one mile or so from Kapalua and just 5 minutes from Whalers Village and Lahaina. I loved hearing the waves at night. Turtles swam in the waters in front and we even saw a few whales breaching in the distance. The space was great for our party of 3 -- my 2 daughters stayed in the bedroom and I slept on the fold out sofa (which was fine for me cause I like to hear the ocean at night). The unit itself was well appointed (though, I could not find the coffee maker and luckily a McDonalds was a short walk away for coffee!). Nice Roku TV with all the pay channels though we didn't watch much TV. Plenty of towels, dishes etc.. (though, you should add a pizza cutter). Lots of great travel books and cute Hawaiian decorations. Having two beach chairs was appreciated as they are definitely needed for the beach. The A/C and fans were a bit complicated to figure out but the normal temperature at the end of December was so comfortable we barely needed them. I will say that that amenities of the building and property are Poor -- the building is old and rather dingy in places. For what I paid per night I was expecting the place to be a bit nicer. However, the older building is not uncommon in this area of Maui and I was there in between Xmas and New Years. There is no jacuzzi but there is an ocean front pool and BBQs. Also, from suggestion standpoint, the HOA should consider maintenance and landscaping to be done during the afternoon or after 11 in the morning -- it was a bit loud at times. Last, I would have appreciated it if the owner would have given us a later check out since 11am is a bit tight when our flight didn't leave Maui til later in the day. Anyway, trying to give constructive feedback --we enjoyed our stay and this is a great home base for exploring the local area!

The property is quite old and out dated including the pool area and chairs however for the price you pay and all the rules you would think that the furniture around the pool area would be newer. Our main door was tough to open but once you figure it out it was fine. The unit was surface clean and there is everything you can think of available for use in the kitchen as far as cooking. There is no table except the patio table and chairs in the unit and kitchen bar which was fine for us but if you had a child would not work. The unit was very hot and had a portable AC unit that can not move and is extremely loud so that was disappointing. Our room stayed ver hot the entire trip regardless of the amount of fans available and doors open etc. our parking pass was not in our room and it took them 2 days to get it to us. The communication between the rental company and whoever maintains the building is poor and I believe this is why it took them two days to get us the parking pass that was supposed to be available in the unit upon arrival. There was a decent leak under the kitchen sink that I cleaned up and it was coming from the garburator. When I emailed and text the company I got not response however they did come into the until while we were out as it was fixed when we returned the next day and the cup I put in place was removed. This was the second time they had come into the unit without giving us notice which was odd. The screen on the patio door was ripped and the closet in bedroom is not useful to guests for clothes as it is full of stuff from the owners. There is only a luggage rack. It was quiet unit with a really great view which we loved! The unit beside us was being renovated by the owner during our stay and was loud sawing and hammering till about 10pm a few nights but we were up playing cards so it didn’t really bother us. Mornings were always nice and quiet which we appreciated. The renovations in our unit were good and the kitchen was awe
Kahana Reef is a dream come true. A quiet place but close to many activities, this condo was exactly what my wife and I were hoping for. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed except spices and the living area/bedroom were comfortable and clean. Perhaps our favorite part of 310 was the ocean view. We had an amazing look at the sunset and during the day we could see turtles searching for food along the reef. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Possibility of seeing the neighboring islands, rainbows, sunsets, turtles and whales is guaranteed. The nearby ocean is great for snorkeling, swimming, surfing, etc.. Drive south for entertainment and north for scenic drive along the coast.
This condo was exactly as billed, there were 4 of us in Condo, and two slept on the pull out, I would have to say its a more comfortable than most pull outs. The ocean front view is priceless , to fall asleep and wake up is indescribable, it is what sets the tone for condo.
The Condo was fully equip (kitchen, towels , linen's a few beach extras too ) with everything we could have needed and more. The little touches that were left for the visitors were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this rental unit!
Aloha and a hui'ho

The owners have done a beautiful job remodeling this well laid out unit with a view that is beyond amazing. The place was spotless. The bed was very comfortable. Nice shower. Well-appointed kitchen. The living room is nicely decorated. The bedroom could really use a chest of drawers; the only place for the suitcases was the floor. A small grab bar would be welcome in the shower entrance. The delivery of the fruit basket was a very nice Aloha touch.
Then we have the management group. Don't be fooled by the smiling representative who delivers the fruit basket and says: 'if you need anything, just give us a call'. We called guest services with an issue on day 2 of 10. Bored sounding rep answered. I was transferred to maintenance. I left a message. 3 more calls to guest services. (#1 left message for at least a call back. 2 messages to maintenance (press 3 for maintenance)). Nothing. Day 8 another issue (electrical, but not dangerous). I had given up. I did not even bother. As a frequent vacation rental guest and as a former owner of vacation rentals. I am appalled.
