Most people picture in their minds their “Dream” vacation, directly on the ocean, with magnificent sunrises and romantic sunsets. My condo could fulfill that dream. When you walk in and see the view of the ocean from the living room, you will be delighted. When you go outside, the spectacular 180- degree views will take your breath away. Every morning, relax on the lanai watching the sun come up over Haleakala and sea turtles popping up in the waves, right in front.
My description is long. A Maui vacation is a big expense. I've added lots of photos with captions to help with your decision. I describe the benefits of our condo that sleeps up to 6 guests + a baby in the crib, and our complex. On over two tropical acres, with stainless steel BBQ's, an oceanside shower, a solar heated pool for guests who dislike swimming in the ocean, and a pool-side eating area, all on a quiet cul-de-sac.
Our direct, ocean front condo has central air in the living room/dining area, and both bedrooms. Each room can be adjusted separately. With built in dehumidifiers, it removes excess moisture from the air. In summer Maui gets into the 90's, with the humidity at 80%. CENTRAL A/C is a MUST, a built-in dehumidifier is even better. Some condos with central air only install it in the living room and main bedroom, overlooking the back bedroom, so it becomes hot.
Only 1/3 of the units at Kanai A Nalu have central air. The others only have a small air conditioner in the living room. Mounted down low, the air flow can be blocked by furniture. On a 2 or 4-hour timer, every couple of hours you have to turn it back on. Their main bedroom is warm, their back bedroom is hot. That's why their rates are lower (or should be). A few condos have no air conditioning and offer highly discounted rates. Condos with central have higher rates. Cooling the entire unit verses just the living room is more expensive, but so nice, especially in summer and spring.
During whale watching season (Nov - Apr.), you can see them breaching out in Maalaea Bay from our lanai. It's an amazing and unforgettable experience. For whale watching, snorkeling or dinner cruises, we are only 1/4 mile from the highly rated Maalaea Harbor. At the harbor are restaurants, shops, beach gear rentals, the Pacific Whale Foundation and Maui's #1 attraction, the Maui Ocean Center. Centrally located, we are only 15 minutes from the airport.
The photo of our complex with the wide beach, was taken years ago. Each summer we had a lovely beach. It disappeared in 2022 due to the rise in sea level and larger than normal Kona storms. We hope it will return. Right now, we are very ...

Diane’s place is the perfect condo for families! We enjoyed a week stay with our 1 year old infant and had everything we needed. The pool is easily accessible, the beach was 30 steps away (not crowded/ calm waves perfect for swimming and snorkeling), and the ocean was 5 steps from the lanai where we saw sea turtles every day. I appreciated the detail Diane has put into the kids items at the condo and besides finding the pack & play and high chair very useful, my daughter loved playing with the blocks and beach toys. The condo was clean and well stocked with everything for a perfect vacation. We will 100% be back- thank you Diane!!

What a wonderful place…nothing better. I stepped outside the sliding glass door each morning with my cup of coffee in hand and was greeted by unobstructed, amazing water views. The sound of the waves reaching the shore lulled us to sleep each night and gently woke us up each morning…nothing better!
We have stayed at quite a few VRBO’s and this one is at the top of our list. We will definitely be back. Not to mention the host/owner of this condo in paradise is the best. She responded to a couple of questions I had in a timely manner. Her written details about her property and surrounding area was very much appreciated.
We were even lucky enough to have seen a whale splash out in the distant and turtles each day swimming close to the shoreline.

While this condo is dated, it is serviceable. More importantly, the beds are all very comfortable (you can even have a 2nd King in the guest bedroom), the kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of, there is a new/excellent W/D, and the location is central to every part of Maui, making exploring all the areas convenient. We were not more than 20-35 minutes from any part of Maui...the airport, South, West, North Shore.....it made exploring all parts so easy.

The vacation was great. It was our fifth time staying at the complex and I would definitely stay in this unit again.
thanks!

The condo unit was exactly as described, no issues or complaints, unless u hate sun, wind, ocean or geckos 😅. Some of the furnitures are old, just gotta be careful, especially when kids around. We are literally few steps away from the pool and the ocean. The grass area became a "walking" path for folks to go to the beach, as the ocean has ruined parts of the beach.
However we loved meeting other familys and their kids. The pool has some harsh ruels for kids as the sound does travel into the apartments.
There were turtles everyday in the ocean and if u watch carefully, u would see whales. We loved it!!! I will definitely come back!

Communication was amazing. Everything was communicated promptly and thoroughly throughout our stay. We opted for a this walkout ocean front rental instead of a resort and we would do it again. More privacy than any resort and the ability to stay right oceanfront when most resorts you are so far back you have to pack up just to get near it.
We saw turtles multiple times a day right outside the unit. We saw whales almost everytime we looked out the window or sat outside. The ability to wake up at 6am make coffee and sit on the patio to watch the sun rise over Haleakala in our pajamas was priceless.

The waterfront view was the best. There was a lot of whale action always. The unit was immaculate and extremely well equipped. The location was convenient to everything. We couldn’t have asked for more.

We just wanted to be able to sit and relax and watch for whales (bring your binoculars!) and listen to the waves and this place was perfect!
Clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed!

Probably the most desirable unit in the complex. Extremely well supplied. Very pleasurable experience. Am booking another.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at this beautiful and perfectly furnished oceanfront condo. The owner (Diane) provided us with everything we needed and more to celebrate our wedding anniversaries (my wife and I - 36 years) and my sister and her husband's 38 year anniversary (including some arrival gifts - fresh whole pineapple and box of delicious Hawaiian chocolates). The location of the condo was perfect for the things we wanted to do. (a few minutes from the Maui Aquarium and Maui snorkeling tour boat, restaurants, shops and more). Also, it was only 16 mins away from the airport. We really appreciated Diane's great communication and detailed information (of Maui attractions, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, etc).. The condo is only 10 steps away from the ocean and the ocean view from her condo was amazing. We had a wonderful 5 star experience at Diane's condo. Thank you very much Diane!

Owner is wonderful and provides great communication before and during stay. Condo had everything we needed and more! Beach access is a short walk and you can enjoy lounging on the patio at surf side. Great location for all things on island.
