A few comments from previous guests....
'I'm going to save you a lot of time. We spent a month in spring 2008 in Maui & walked all the available condo properties from N. Wailea to Kapalua. This is the best of the condo complexes by owners available. A number are 60's and 70's complexes that are just so tired. Some of the complexes looked nice on the Internet--not so nice when you walk them. Read the reviews on Mahana. In the photos it looks a bit dark, it isn’t. It’s rich and luxurious. The living room has windows on three sides for a view that surrounds you. Amazing furnishings and detail, every square inch. It's a corner unit with windows on the ocean and side toward the pool. It's the right condo complex, the right unit with the right owners. If it's available just stop here, it's the one. After you stay in Mahana #301 anything else will seem a distant second. As an extra bonus we never had to reserve a pool lounge.... Craig C., Oregon

"Jennifer, Your place was amazing!! We felt like movie stars! Thank you so much..... Thank you again for allowing us to enjoy your magnificant condo, we had a great vacation.Happy new year!" Moriet M. Family, Washington

"I wanted to extend our sincere appreciation and thanks for the use of your condo in Maui. It was spectacular! We truly enjoyed ourselves and our stay at (Mahana 301), and loved everything about it. You guys did a “superb” job of remodeling the unit and I must say that the quality of “workmanship” and “design” is first class! We look forward to returning to Maui in the not too distant future, and hope that when we do, we can once again, call upon you for assistance at the Mahana Resort. Thank you, again, and we wish you and your family the best." ...Henry & Kay, Houston, Texas

"(Mahana 301) was absolutely AMAZING!!!! We LOVED it!! You & Jeff did such a beautiful job with everything. You had everything we could have needed & so much more! We're at a condo right now on Kauai that is beautiful but yours is better! We had such a great time on Maui & we had the most beautiful, comfortable place to come home to every night. Thank you so very much! Aloha!" ...Donna C., New York

"How rewarding an experience it was to stay in your wonderful unit during our Maui stay. What an awesome remodel you guys have done! The place is like a 5-STAR HOTEL, the amenities are great, and your decorative touches are just the final icing on the cake! My wife and her family thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we appreciate you getting a rice cooker for us too! We snorkeled a few days, drove the Road to Hana, enoyed the Old Lahaina Luau, and hit the Iao Valley and Needle, but the simple things were the best, such as the sound of crashing waves, and sunsets on your Lanai! Oh, and watching the U.S. win Gold on your flat-screen TVs weren't bad either! Thank you so much from us all for your wonderful accommodations!" ...Clarence & Mayumi, California

"Thanks so much for letting us stay in your condo. We'll never forget the feeling of thinking that we could jump off the rail of the lanai right into the ocean. We loved watching the whales right from the living room couch. We love Maui and this will definitely not be our last time here!" ...The Cole family, Roseville, California

Why the Owner Chose Mahana

When making the decision to purchase in Maui we didn't think twice about the Mahana. It is truly a VERY UNIQUE PROPERTY. Every condo is ALL OCEANFRONT...ALL THE TIME. The Mahana is situated closest to the white sandy beaches and shoreline of Kaanapali. Mahana 301 is on the third floor and when entering the apartment you sense that the ocean is right is at your feet. One guest made the comment that "it feels like I can jump off the lanai right into the ocean!" Our condo is within minutes to fine dining, a wide range of outdoor activities, world-class shopping, cultural events and more. There was absolutely no question that we had made the right choice when choosing Mahana 301!

A
MAHANA 301~BEST VALUE!

Direct oceanfront luxury 2 bdrm., 2 bath condo only 60 feet from white sandy beach of Kaanapali. Only 5 minutes to Lahaina, world-class shopping, dining, cultural events and more.

Rich with cultural exhibits, world-class shopping and restaurants.

C
Kahului Airport

Approximately 40 minute drive to Mahana 301.

Owner's Map of Mahana

Jeff and I fell in love with Maui when we first visited with our three daughters in 1989. Each time we returned we dreamed that one day we would be able to own a piece of "paradise." We were fortunate enough to be able to purchase Mahana 301 and have never regretted it. Every year we try to visit and celebrate our wedding anniversary which makes the occasion especially memorable. Now are daughters are all grown up and also enjoy visiting with their loved ones and friends. We enjoy assisting our guests in their vacation needs...making sure everything is just as they would like when they arrive. When you visit Maui and Mahana 301 you will never want to leave!

      Aloha Craig~Mahalo for your high praise! Looks like we will need to take some pictures more during the daytime rather sunset. It sounds like you all had a memorable and relaxing stay. Mahalo for choosing Mahana 301 and we hope you return soon! Remember, you only live once! Take care and have a great St. Paddy's Day! Jeff & Jennifer

    • February 7th-16th 2009: Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo! Everything about Mahana #301 feels brand new...from the mattresses, to the updated remodel. Love the colors, lighting, furniture and kitchen. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Tons of Humpback whales, loads of breaching, pectoral fin slaps and more calves than we can count. Absolutely the BEST! Pacific Whale Foundation was a great whale watching endeavor (3 times). I highly recommend them. Restaurant recommendations in Lahaina... ***Lahaina Grill-the best dinner place, a little spendy but worth it. ***Gerards-also a little "high-end," but good classic French food. ***Lahaina Fish Company-on the water & delicious. Thank you again for putting so much into your remodel. It really is a beautiful condo & our whole family enjoyed it. Cindy Marum - Bellevue, WA.

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Cindy~You're very welcome! And Mahalo for your kind remarks. You picked a perfect time for whale watching. This year there were some very early sightings even in November! I can't explain that. I'm so happy you all had a wonderful time. Let us know when we can assist with your lodging again. Aloha & Mahalo, Jennifer

    • January 31-February 7, 2009: In AWE!! Having cabins on Lakes ourselves, we were impressed to say the very least!! Your condo is absolutely gorgeous! Very well cared for and was a great place for Jeff & Michelle Jung & Bill & Sherri Weber to call home. Even tho we were only here a short while we have decided to call this our "Home away from Home." We looked thru everything and were unable to find a cooler. If a collapseable cooler was available it would be a nice option. We are looking forward to coming back to stay at your condo again. Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay at your condo! Bill & Sherri and Jeff & Michelle

      Homeowner Response:
      Mahalo for your great feedback! We appreciate it very much. The cooler was in the hallway closet...wish you had called us :) Please let us know when we can assist you with your vacation lodging again - we would love to have you back! Mahalo ~ Jeff & Jennifer

    • December 2008: As soon as we walked into the condo we knew we were going to enjoy a wonderful vacation. Waking up each morning to a gorgeous ocean view was such a treat. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen...it was used almost every night! :) The guys loved BBQ-ing down by the pool while the girls got the rest of the dinner ready. Lucas slept like a baby :) each night in his comfortable Pak-n-Play. Thank you for all that you did to accommodate him. Grammie loved sticking Lucas' toes in the surf & sand for his first time! Posting your unit on VRBO made it easy for us to find. Thank you for providing the perfect place for our family to enjoy time together. Jered, Angie & Lucas - Fairbanks, AK. and Steve & Paula - Elma, WA.

      Homeowner Response:
      We're glad to hear you and your family enjoyed your vacation. I wish I could have seen the look on Lucas' face when he saw the ocean for the first time! Drop us a line and let us know how you're doing and when you're going to be back our way! Mahalo for taking good care of our home! Jennifer

    • What a wonderful way to spend our first vacation in Hawaii! Wake every morning to a great view & rainbow. The week went by way too fast with all of the activities. It was always a pleasure to come back to (Mahana 301) and relax on the lanai & watch the waves crash against the shore. This was unforgetable. THANKS! The Zepedas

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Henry & Kay~Yes, the time always seems to fly by quickly when we are there also. We hope this is the first of many trips back to Maui for you...it's the best island for relaxation and activities! Please let us know if we can help with your vacation needs again. Mahalo, Jennifer

    • Sept. 13-20, 2008: What an absolutely beautiful condo! It has everything we could want & more. The views are awesome, the beds are comfortable & the furnishings are beautiful. Everything is so new! We had a wonderful time. We did the sunrise bike ride down Haleakala, went to two luaus, did the Kapalua zip-line, the road to Hana, Ulelena, the drive North around the West Maui Mts. We loved it all-we were very busy! We aso noticed how great the water pressure is which is important with four people here. We would definitely recommend Mahana 301! Mahalo - Remi & Donna, Paul & Sherry

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Donna & Remi, We're so happy to hear you had a very active and restful (?) vacation :) Mahalo for your favorable comments. Jeff and I have tried to make our Mahana 301 as comfortable as possible for our guests and it's nice to hear such kind remarks from great folks as yourselves. Mahalo for treating our home like your own - we really appreciate it. Come back soon! Jennifer

    • 301 Mahana is a wonderful condo with an excellent view of the ocean, Lanai, and Molokai. We enjoyed watching the whales, sea lion, and school of spinning dolphins from the living room. Whales breaching and sometimes swimming by within 200 yards of shore. Food: Very good take out at the strip mall with the fish store that someone else commented on. We loved the view and hamburgers at Kimo's in Lahina. The Lahina Grill was a wonderful dining experience. The best was Mama's Fish House in Pia'a. Expensive ($35 entrees at lunch), but a worthwhile adventure. We really enjoyed our visit.

      Homeowner Response:
      Aloha Rich~Jeff & I are happy you and your family had a great vacation and stay at our Mahana 301 condo. Hope you got some good pictures of those breaches! Mahalo for taking good care of our "home-away-from-home." Let us know when we can assist with your vacation lodging again in Paradise. Jennifer

      Your condo was a wonderful place to celebrate our 47th anniversary! It has everything-view, comfort and so roomy. Maui is certainly fabulous-the weather is just a little change from that in Seattle, Washington! We have loved every minute! Pat and Bill

      The Norcross family from Maryland had a great vacation in Maui! We celebrated our 20th anniversary with our two daughters - it was very special for us. Your condo made us feel right at home, and of course the non-stop view was a treat every day. We enjoyed snorkeling at many near-by beaches, as well as a fun filled trip to Molokini. Our favorite restaurants were The Gazebo - great location, nice people, fresh food, happy, friendly place; and Bubba Gumps - fun atmosphere, happy friendly people, good food, large portions. We will miss falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the surf! MAHALO! Cindy and Scott
