Relax on the lanai or the luxurious leather chair overlooking the ocean. You may spot dolphins and even whales scampering below you.
In the morning, stroll along the uncrowded white sandy beach below you and enjoy a swim in the ocean or in the Mahana's private oceanside pool. And to cap the day, watch the sun as it lingers and slowly sets over the ocean right in front of you between the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Take a few minutes in the spa under the stars and fall asleep to the sound of the waves against the shore.
This tastefully furnished condo at the Mahana, rated #1 of 31 hotels and condo resorts on Trip Advisor, has a wonderfully comfortable king-size bed with a pillow top mattress in the master bedroom and a new queen-size sofa sleeper in the living room. The master bedroom and living room both open onto your own private lanai/balcony with a table and 4 chairs.
The kitchen, featuring new cabinets and granite counters, is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare a perfect sunset dinner to enjoy at the marble-based dining table or at another table on the lanai. The unit has 2 flat screen LCD cable TVs, a CD player with i-Pod docking and stereo, DVD, broadband high speed satellite Internet connection, a separate vanity area, a large beautifully renovated Italian stone tiled walk-in shower, and your own in-unit washer/dryer. Luxury linens, an iron and ironing board, and beach towels are all provided for your convenience.
You are only steps from the beach. And snorkeling, scuba diving, tennis, 5 world class golf courses, fine and casual dining and shopping are all close by the Mahana.
It's the perfect spot for a honeymoon, to celebrate a special anniversary, to house your wedding guests, or just to get away for a totally relaxing tropical holiday. And if you are having a family reunion, consider renting this unit along with our 8th floor 2-bedroom 2 bath corner unit (#819) right next door!

Get Me to Maui ~ Beachfront 1 BR 8th Flr~ Awesome Ocean Views
Year Purchased: 1977
Why the Owner Chose Mahana
We fell in love with the Mahana in 1977. We were at a conference in Honolulu and came to Maui for a day. We were walking along the north end of Kaanapali beach. The sun was setting between the islands of Lanai and Molokai. It was the most amazing sight! We turned around and saw Mahana. We knew right then and there that we had to buy one of these beachfront homes. For us it was the view and the view and the view! We had our pick of condos and chose #818 on the spot because of its incredible view, not to high, not too low, just perfect! We were still very young and buying this condo meant that we couldn't buy a house for several years, but we never regretted the investment in a beach home on Maui! Later, we did get a house (!) and we also bought two other condos at the Mahana (#708 in the Molokai building and #819, the corner condo, which is right next door to #818). For us, however, #818 is still a magical place and one we ourselves love coming back to year after year!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
For us it’s a home away from home. In winter we love watching the whales, in summer it’s the dolphins and turtles. I love getting up to see the dawn coming up over the ocean. My husband is mesmerized by the stars. We all enjoy walking or jogging on the beach, swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear blue water, exploring all the other nearby beaches, Kapalua Bay, Napili Bay, Fleming Beach, Honolua Bay and watching the long sunsets. We also love going to the Farmers Market for fresh papaya and mangos and finding local fish to grill back at the Mahana. It’s the majesty of the ocean and the mountains. It’s the trade winds and the friendly people. It’s something else, totally special that is just impossible to describe. You have to come to Maui and the Mahana and you will experience it yourself!
Owner's Map of Mahana
We both grew up by the sea, David in Ireland, Kathy in San Francisco and we always knew that however far away we moved away from the sea, we would always come back. After we met in college, we traveled much of the world together, but it was Maui and the stretch of beach in front of the Mahana that captured our hearts. Over the years, we returned to Maui and the Mahana for a month every summer. For our children, it was a second home. Now young adults, they still love coming back every chance they can. Once you have been to the Mahana, you’ll want to come back too!

A Charming Home Away From Home!!

This was truly a "home away from home" place with all of the amenities and comforts anyone could desire. Mahana was the second stop on our honeymoon in Maui, and we could not have been more happy. Kathy met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the condo, as well as greeting us with beautiful flowers to congratulate us on our wedding in Maui. Kathy was fantastic to chat with before arriving and answered any questions we had along the way. The condo is comfortable, high end decor touches throughout and the bed is simply divine! Plus the kitchen has everything you need to cook a delicious meal inside. We enjoyed many mornings on the beautiful lanai taking in the views. We will be excited to return to this condo for future Anniversary trips and vacations!

My wife and I stayed here for our 25th anniversary. The Mahana is an extremely well kept facilty, the staff very friendly and the location perfect. The condo... well simply stunning. The appliances, furniture, kitchen cupboards and counters all higher end quality and the bed the most comfortable we've experienced. Being from Canada, finding this condo on the web and sending our $$ to a complete stranger in the US... we weren't sure what to expect; but our highest expectations were exceeded. The snorkeling right in front of the condo was the best we experienced, with large sea turtles right off shore... the beach walk was perfect for an early morning run and to stroll and watch the sun set. Dukes Restaurant right beside the condo was a perfect atmostphere to close out the day... but we're still wearing off the calories from the hula pie! Since we've been back, we've recommended this place to several friends and co-workers and we will definitely be back very soon.

This was our first time to Maui and we will be back! Your apartment is wonderful, the bed is amazing and it was great having the washer/dryer! The view leaves you speechless! We saw 2 whales from the window within 2 minutes of arriving. This was just fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing this piece of Paradise with us and we look forward to returning in the next year or two!

Gorgeous island! So much to do and the whales visiting at the same time was such a bonus! Breaching right outside the window - Wow! Seeing a sea turtle right under my boogie board! And coming back to rest our heads in your beautiful condo just made our days perfect. Could not have asked for more! Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for allowing your beautiful home to become ours for a wonderful 12 days in paradise. We walked through the wind door and the amazing views took our breath away. We went straight to the windows to take in the view and there they were - our first whale sighting, close enough to photograph! It took us 30 years to get here and thanks to you, the beautiful weather and the island, it was the perfect anniversary vacation. Using your tips and those of others, every experience became a wonderful and unforgettable memory. Thanks again. Mahalo and Aloha!

We had a great time in #818. The whale watching was excellent and snorkeling just down the beach was a lot of fun. The condo is just beautiful and it has the BEST view. We loved it here and hope to come back! P & P, Oregon.
