100% refund for any dates canceled even if at the very last minute in 2026 due to the ban, when and if, the ban takes affect.
My lovely condo is at the highly rated, ocean/beach front, Kanai A Nalu. On over two acres with stainless steel Commercial BBQ's, an oceanside shower, a solar heated pool, a pool-side eating area, all just a couple minutes' walk to 4 mile long SUGAR BEACH. Conveniently located in Maalaea, just 15 minutes from the airport. Owned for 20 years, my condo is very personal to me. I've tried to make it a wonderful retreat for my guests and my family (3 grown children, plus 7 grandchildren). It has many amenities.
Most people picture in their minds their dream vacation, directly on the ocean, with magnificent sunrises and romantic sunsets. My ground floor, corner condo could fulfill that dream. When you walk in the view of the ocean from the living room, is awesome. When you go outside, the 180° views will take your breath away. Every morning, relax on the lanai watching the sun come up over Haleakala and sea turtles in the waves.
Just lowered, my rates are very reasonable. Especially compared to other ocean front condos at Kanai A Nalu. There are only 2 units at our complex that have double sized lanais that seat 6 guests (like mine). Both charge more per night and neither offer central air. There is an extra fee, per guest, beyond the 4th.
Other lanais only seat 4, enclosed by side walls. Most only sleep 4. Our corner condo, #117, sleeps 6 and offers amenities many units don't, Such as: Central air throughout, 3 Roku Smart TV's (Netflix, Prime), 3 DVD/Blu-ray players, an adjustable (firmness or softness) "Sleep Number's" King, children and toddler items (crib, stroller, pack -n-play, hi-chair and baby gate). There are movies, games, books, puzzles, blocks and more. For beach fun we have sand toys, beach towels, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, sand chairs, and ice chests.
Currently, there is a PROPOSED ban of Short Term Rental's on the "Minatoya List" for South Maui, POSIBBLY to start in 2026. For West Maui, it might start in July of 2025. It's predicted to be tied up in court for years due to injunctions and lawsuits, as what they are trying to do to property rights is against Hawaii's constitution. This ban is still UNAPPROVED by the City Council.
Attempting to take away vested property use rights from existing owners who have operated legal vacation rentals for decades is not right. I have owned my unit for 20 years. When I bought it, the zoning was "Hotel/Resort". So I was allowed to rent it out. Then in 2017, it was changed to A1, Apartment. Why?? I'm a retired senior woman who needs the income to supplement my social security. My condo also supports my property manager (a widow with 3 children), my cleaning gals, my handyman, and all the stores and businesses that I buy from in Kahului and Kihei.
HAWAII COURTS HAVE RULED THAT PREEXISTING USES ARE VESTED RIGHTS PROTECTED BY DUE PROCESS PROVISIONS IN BOTH THE HAWAII AND U.S. CONSTIUTIONS"
I apologize, the following description is long. But, a Maui vacation is a big expense. To help with your decision, I've added lots of photos.
Our condo has central air in the living room/dining area, and both bedrooms. Each can be adjusted separately with built in dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture, keeping you even cooler. In summer Maui gets into the 90's, with the humidity at 80%. CENTRAL A/C ...

The condo is well stocked. Fine sheets and towels. New appliances. Comfort beds.
The sound of the surf crashing was marvelous.
Unfortunately the sand access to Sugar Beach has washed away.
The condo is in a flight path to the airport but soon the sound of 5he jets fades.
We enjoyed our time on Maui and being in the condo.

Loved everything about the property as nothing can beat the location and amenities of this property.
I would only recommend it to guests who don’t mind the responsibility of caring for the property! It’s not a hotel kind of property where there is little /no maintenance . This property has a lot of soul to it that it requires the right kind of care during your stay and justifies the exhaustive list of criteria listed by the owner as part of the rental agreement .
If you are wondering if this property is right for you definitely recommend getting the entire rental agreement from the owner ahead of time and reading it to ensure it’s a right fit for you.

The unit was so well organized, clean and well maintained. As mentioned the condo is exactly 15 steps away from the ocean and the view is fantastic. We were lucky to spot turtles in the morning. Our host supplied all the necessary items needed for a wonderful stay. The kitchen and bathroom closets were well equipped. Our host was very responsive and was just a phone call away. Thanks a lot for making our stay so memorable.

The location can not be beat! We loved seeing the ocean every morning and night. Easy to get anywhere on the island from here. It was stocked with everything we needed as a family to make meals and enjoy recreating on the beach.

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.
