Property Description
We are 1/2 mile from the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium, Pacific Whale Foundation, Ma‘alaea Harbor and Harbor Shops, and the Mini-Golf Complex!
Kana‘i A Nalu means 'gentle surf, but we call it 'Dad's Paradise.' Kana‘i A Nalu is a beautiful OCEANFRONT complex located near the four-mile stretch of Sugar Beach on Ma‘alaea Bay. Our condo is located on the second floor with gorgeous views from the lanai of the tropical gardens, the pool, the ocean, and the sunrise over Haleakala, the 'House of the Sun,' Maui’s largest dormant volcano. During the winter months, when the humpback whales are in the bay, the lanai may become your full-time residence.
The central tropical garden area has a solar-heated pool, large grassy area, and two grills for all to enjoy! In the late afternoon, the barbecue area is the place to be!
Kana‘i A Nalu appeals to those who don't want to have to walk through a congested lobby or across a busy street to get to the pool or beach. Our guests can easily go from our condo to the beach and back in a few minutes.
Our condo is fully equipped with kitchenware, linens, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. We also have a nice collection of beach towels, used snorkeling gear, sand toys and boogie boards for you to use on the beach.
The master bedroom has a king-size bed with a connecting bathroom, while the second bedroom has twin beds and a full bathroom in the adjacent hall.
We have made some lovely improvements to the condo in recent years, with tile floors in the main living areas and kitchen, granite countertops in the kitchen and both bathrooms, and with HD TVs in the living/dining area and the master bedroom. We love the relaxed tropical style on island, and that style is reflected in our condo.
When the weather is blistering hot on other parts of the island, Ma‘alaea Bay’s consistent breezes keep the air comfortable at our complex. Inside the condo, each room has a ceiling fan to provide comfort, including the bathrooms. Quiet Mitsubishi Air Conditioners are in the living room and both bedrooms.
Directly across the bay is the town of Kihei; towering above it is Haleakala, elev. 10,023. Sunrises over its summit can be seen from the lanai, and they are stunning!
Our condo is centrally located on the island. We are just down the street from the Maui Ocean Center, Maalaea Harbor, and the Mini-golf/rock climbing center. It is also approximately 9 miles from the Kahului Airport.

My wife and I have stayed in Maui probably close to 20 times in the last 30 years. From luxury accomadations in Wailea to my parents spare bedroom in Pukalani and everything in between. This place by far has been the best place we have ever stayed. Being able to take daily morning walks on a basically empty beautiful beach each morning was worth the whole price. Everything else was just icing on the cake.The bed is soooooo comfortable. The living room furniture will challenge you to not take a nap...so nice. Kitchen is perfect size. Both bathrooms are incredible.Grounds are immaculate, residents are beyond friendly, pool is so clean, views are perfect. Great food at Seascape.Every single thing worked perfectly and all information, for everything, was so easy. This place is perfect, clean, home feeling and Terri is such a great person to work with. A lot of people always say "we'll be back", we will definitely come back here, I wont even look anywhere else.Also location is so perfect. 25 mins to Lahaina, 25 mins to Wailea, 15 mins to Kahului. Thank you so much Terri!!!!

This was the perfect place for my wife, my sister, and I to stay for a week in Maui. The property is spacious and had just about every possible amenity that we could have asked for. The beds were very comfortable, and the deck overlooking the pool and ocean was terrific. The location is excellent for going to all the things that you might want to do on Maui. Also, a very nice beach park literally just a few steps away from the property. The owner was wonderful and responded to every question we had. You can’t go wrong if you decide to stay here. I hope we’ll be able to come back soon.

Overall, not much more to add to the other glowing reviews. The condo was great, fully stocked, with a wonderful view of the ocean from the lanai. Parking was easy, the pool was clean and warm, and the complex was in great condition overall. Another bonus was that the beds were quite comfortable.I should also add that Terri is such a thoughtful and communicative host. You can tell how passionate she is about doing what she does - it comes through in so many details, big and small.A minor heads up is that the beach a short walk from the condo is just ok - it's a nice place to sit with some trees for shade, but the water wasn't the best for swimming (at least in February) due to rocks and lack of visibility. That said, the condo is an easy drive to some other local beaches.

This is the nicest vrbo/vacation rental that we have stayed at in 40 years. The unit is beautiful and stocked with everything you could want to enjoy a tropical vacation. Terri is super communicative and helpful. The location is in a quiet bit of beach close to shopping and restaurants. We saw whales from the balcony!

Perfect is the right word- the location, the accommodations, the owner.
The condo is located close to everything, but in a calm, relaxing location just a 2-minute walk to the beach. The condo is very comfortable, and well stocked, with everything to cook meals and the grill to cookout by the pool, and the balcony to watch the waves roll in and the sun come up with a nice cup of coffee. Having the twin beds is great, so that both my kids had their own sleeping location.
Terri (the owner) is very welcoming and so helpful. Her welcome packet had great island info, and she has truly prepped the condo with everything you need for a great vacation. Highly recommend, and hope that she will allow us the opportunity to stay again in the future.
Mahalo!

This condo is amazing!!!! It’s in a great location, wonderfully stocked and the hosts were amazing to work with!! The mornings on the balcony drinking coffee and watching whales started the days off right and the evening walks on the nearby beach or the kids swimming in the pool was the perfect ending each evening! We would definitely stay here again!!!

We were thrilled with the location, the view and the amenities. Truly all we needed was inside this condo. Communication with the owner was easy and we didn't need anything during our stay. The best surprise was how close the beach was to walk to which we did almost every day rather than drive around the island. For a few of our nights were were unlucky with a few loud renters from other suites but not after dark. We will absolutely look up this suite when we come back to the island next! Mahalo!

We stayed here for 9 nights and couldn’t be happier! This place was perfect for our family of 4. The condo is beautiful, clean, and had all of the amenities we needed. The property is quiet, well cared for, and adjacent to a great beach. The view from the lanai is beautiful. Having beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards available made it easy to have a great time! The owner, Terri, is attentive and conscientious. She seemed truly concerned with making sure our needs were met. I highly recommend this lovely place for your stay on Maui!

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo in Maalaea. It is in a quiet area of the island, but close to the Maalaea Harbor that has shops and many excursion options that take off from there. It is a convenient and close walk to the harbor from the condo.
We were lucky to have the owners of the condo on the property during our stay. It was so nice to meet them and have a personal connection. We can see why that place is special to their family.
