Upon entering this west Maui condo, you are stopped in your tracks. You can hardly believe what you are seeing.
First, there is the view. Eight-foot-high and stretching along the entire ocean-facing front of the unit, the floor-to-ceiling windows are filled with a sweeping panorama of sea, sky, and islands. No Maui land in sight from your eighth-floor elevation. The azure Pacific Ocean is crystal clear and punctuated by gentle waves. Fluffy cumulus clouds cluster around the peaks of the neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai, providing an inspiring backdrop for your sunrise and sunset watching. If your stay is between the months of October and May, you see tall, column-shaped blows from humpback whales in the Auau Channel between the islands. The entire scene is breathtaking.
When you have managed to pry your eyes from the view, more beauty awaits. The open floor plan of this home offers a spacious environment with large, light-filled rooms. From the waterfall edge of the quartz countertops, to the recycled sea glass of the light fixture, to the light gray porcelain tile underfoot—everything is sleek, contemporary, and tasteful. Against the walls’ white background, the blues and greens of the accent colors echo the vibrant hues visible through your windows. The furnishings are superior in every detail: a luxury sectional sleeper sofa, Italian leather swivel chair, shagreen & wood tables, aerial photographic art reflecting an image of Hawai`i, and a classic surfboard are just a few highlights.
Walking into the bedroom, you find a serene, beautiful space ideal for sheer relaxation. An upholstered king size bed features a puffy yet supportive mattress and decadent hotel collection bedding. The window treatment slides either from right-to-left or left-to-right, giving you the ability to adjust it to enjoy a full ocean view while relaxing in bed. A 65” smart television, ample closet and plenty of dresser storage add to your comfort.
The bathroom contains a large custom shower; a modern, free-form vessel sink; and glamorous beveled, backlit mirrors. Tranquil and lovely. Important from a practical viewpoint, the bathroom also holds your high-end washer/dryer laundry.
Enabling indoor-outdoor living in Maui’s unspoiled island Paradise, the ocean front private lanai is perfect. A dining table seating four guests and a comfortable sectional sofa allow for a variety of pursuits while enjoying the warm, sunny days and soft, cooler evenings. Observing the colorful schooling fish in the reef below is an endlessly fascinating activity, and enjoying a cocktail at sunset while watching the sun gradually sink below the horizon is an experience not to be missed.
The Mahana at Kaanapali Resort, perched on the water’s edge, is situated at the far north end of renowned Kaanapali Beach (once a royal sanctuary for the rulers of Maui). This magnificent white sand beach in front of the resort stretches three full miles to the south, with most of that span including a scenic boardwalk. Conveniently located near the shopping and restaurants of the community of Honokowai, the resort is immaculately clean and serviced by an industrious, helpful staff. The ocean-front swimming pool is surrounded by plenty of seating as well as BBQ grills and dining tables. The vintage Hawai`iana design scheme of the lobby—complete with plenty of koa wood, tikis, vintage art, and tropical colors—offers a refreshing contrast to the ...

My husband & I have stayed at the Mahana on numerous occasions when we visit Maui. This condo, by far, is the nicest we’ve stayed at. Super clean, very modern & a really comfortable bed! Have only good things to say about our stay & would definitely stay here again!

Second time staying in this condo and, just like the first time, everything was great. Very comfortable, all the amenities you need and, of course, the wonderful view. The only bad part was having to leave We will be back.

The views from the living area and lanai are to die for.Condo is in quiet area away from larger hotels, has awesome gas grills if you like to cook. Ken Mahalođź‘Ťđź‘Ť

This property was perfect in every way! Easy check-in, clean, all the amenities you need, ocean views from private patio, walking distance to food truck park and snorkel and other shops across the street. We loved watching sunsets in the evening and whale watching in the morning right from the patio! The pool on the property was nice, but we also enjoyed snorkeling in the reefs right behind the property.

We just stayed for a few days at the end of our Hawaiian vacation. So, we mostly stayed in the unit, which is pretty easy to do. It has spectacular views, and we delighted in sitting on the lanai watching whales, dolphins, and windsurfers, as well as the turtles feeding in the reef below. It is a great location- well connected to the sea walk, so we enjoyed our morning walks. It is also connected to a gym in a different building. Once I figured out how to access it, I enjoyed that amenity as well.

This condo was even better than the pictures. We have traveled many places and this was one of the best! Luxury, quality of everything, from the furnishings to the appliances and bedding. The view was breathtaking every-time! I have never felt so comfortable in a VRBO. We can’t wait to come back. Perfection!
