We arrived with our two 10 year old grandchildren. They were very happy to run to the deck to spot their first turtle, one of many sightings. Beautiful sunsets looking out to Molokai . We did some snorkeling in the bay Until the big waves arrived. Then they turned to the pool and were very happy. The grounds keepers surprised them by cutting down some bananas and papayas for them. All in all a comfortable and happy experience.
Lynn's place is INCREDIBLE! We thought we had died and gone to heaven during the week we stayed there. We loved watching the sunsets every night from the unit/lanai. Lynn was so great to deal with, she answered all questions before our arrival and even ordered a brand new umbrella for us to use during our stay. There was a backup person available if she was hard to reach. We felt so well taken care of! The location of her unit is the best I've ever seen, and it has a sandy (swimmable) beach, pool, and BBQ facilities. There are lounge chairs all around the pool and grass that are positioned under palm trees that face the ocean. It's SO dreamy! We were there the week of Aug. 9-17 and the place was virtually empty! I'm not sure if that was due to school back in session or if it's just a hidden gem. There was a bit of a swell the first few days of our stay and the waves pounded the beach but we loved the sound. There were people staying in the unit next to us that have been coming to this place for years and they told us that turtles come up to the reef below our deck in the afternoon and feed on the reef. Due to the big swell, we didn't see turtles doing this but hope to come back someday and experience that. We were able to go to other (more sheltered) coves and snorkel on the swell days. The swell calmed down after 2 days and we swam at our beach! We all enjoyed the pool on the property too - it's simple but functional. We'll definitely be back!
Lazy days of Sunner. Beautiful sunsets from this lovely condo on the beach. Plan to return to this piece of heaven.
had a great time, everything was great. quiet and cozy right on the beach
We stayed for 7-nights in this gorgeous 2-story condo and absolutely loved every minute. This is our family's 3rd trip to Maui and by far, our favorite because our place was so nice to come "home" too after our daily excursions. The complex has private beach access, clean & well-kept grounds, friendly energy, lovely pool, a luscious garden full of green lizards, and an overall wonderful vibe. Sunsets are AMAZING here and Sunrises equally stunning and calming. Also, the experience of looking down onto the giant turtles is absolutely mesmorizing. We snorkled right off the beach and were able to rinse off our gear and sun gaze right there, we never wanted to leave! The interior of the condo is well-maintained, CLEAN with great furniture, comfortable beds. Air-conditioners worked GREAT and each room has a fan to keep the coolness circulating. The extended lanai shades are extra nice when it heats up pre-sunset. Plenty of modern and nice kitchen utensils to cook with and there is a community grill that was maintained by the groundskeeper crew. We had such a great time and look forward to returning soon!
I have been to Maui many times and have stayed at Kahana Sunset quite a bit. It's still one of my favorite vacation spots. Although, we had a glitch on our arrival day, things were resolved quickly, and we carried on with our 2-week trip. Lynn's condo has intrigued me for many years, and I was so excited to finally stay here. It did not disappoint! The first thing you see when you walk in is the unobstructed, magnificent view through the front sliding glass doors, it was like you were floating over the water! After I got over that, I noticed how nicely decorated, clean and well equipped the condo was. It had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable, and we really appreciated the shades and retractable awning over the lanai, especially as the day wore on and the sun heated things up. It was also nice to have AC units not only in the living room but the 2 bedrooms as well. The kitchen was well equipped, so we didn't need to supplement with anything.Something to make note of, is the beach is really no longer there, at least not for lounging on the sand, but the grassy area above is really nice and has lounge chairs. We swam and snorkeled in the bay but only when the tide was out. There are great swimming and snorkeling beaches close by though. There's a grocery store a moment away and the Napili Farmers Market was great for fresh produce and crafts. This is a special place, and we hope to be back sometime soon. Mahalo!
Beautiful condo, with the most amazing views! Condo itself was perfect size for our family of four and very clean.The pool was a hit with the kids, but unfortunately the swell was very high during our stay and limited swimming off the beach. Enjoyed discovering new beaches as this was our first time staying on this side of Maui.Kahana Sunset is a small complex, quiet and very well taken care of by staff!We did notice however that it was frequented by an older crowd and not as family friendly as we’d hoped. Did not put a damper on our trip tho!
Fantastic stay in an absolutely beautiful and magical spot in Maui. First time visitors to the island and found this property to be everything it was advertised to be. When they say on the beach, it is really on top the beach. Would stay here again.
Family visit for Anniversary. Enjoyed the property very much. Very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a great time. The view from the deck was amazing!!. Lots of Sunsets, Turtle watching, and swimming in our very own bay. Lynn the owner was great and even hooked us up with a great dinner reservation for our Anniversary. Will definitely be back.
This property is amazing and our family will be staying here again.
Lynn was a delight to work with. She was very responsive. We were provided with pages of her favorite restaurants and descriptions of the food and estimated prices. Also included were many activities. It's a spectacular location and the only one on the complex that extends over the water. It's wrap-around balconies are so great. We watched turtles each day in our bay and could see pods of whales towards Molokai breaching and blowing spouts. The grounds have banana, papaya and guava trees and the produce is shared with renters when in season. Also lots of flowering tropical plants.
We never saw the beach as low as is pictured. Probably due to weather in other parts of the world. That didn't stop renters from swimming however. Being over the water I really enjoyed watching the waves come in and crash against the sea wall, sometimes even splashing up on the lower deck.
My husband and I are 80 and 88, though 'young' old folks. I don't remember any comments in the description that there are lots of stairs. From the parking lot to the unit, and from the unit to the pool and beach. It was good exercise for us.
The unit is in a great location on the island. It is a beautiful and restful condo. You will enjoy your time there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The proximity to the basically "private" beach is unmatched! It is such a unique property. Everything was just as described and we enjoyed the surrounding area restaurants and beaches. We loved every minute!
