Breathtaking Oceanfront Penthouse Most Privacy/Quality/Views
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Mahana
As long time Realtors in the San Francisco Coastal communities, we wanted to find a view vacation home that was as good or better than what we have at home. When we decided to purchase a vacation home in Hawaii, we visted the 4 main Islands as well as Lanai. We looked for an Island that would have enough to do without the big city feel and population and where we wouldn't have to be concerned with major bad weather. Maui was the perfect choice. We went to every part of the Island and settled on North Kaanapali Beach. We looked at every condo complex and found that the Mahana was the only all oceanfront condo. We also loved the fact that the bedroom faced the water instead of the mountain. We only wanted the top floor, 12th-Penthouse, and we wanted the Lanai building. We found the perfect place.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We love the fact that there is a reef in front of the Mahana which means that to access the water, you would have to go 100 yards in either direction. This keeps the beach activity and noise in front of our condo down to a minimum. There is boardwalk that starts just south of our building that goes all the way to the Hyatt Hotel which about 2.5 miles. What a wonderful walk to get coffee or "earn" your lunch at the many great places in Kaanapali. BTW, we also continue walking south to Lahaina. The Maui bus system is great and we can take a return bus ride that drops us off next to Kaanapali Shores.

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY! PARADISE IN PARADISE!!!!

Review Submitted: 01/30/12
Our stay was absolute PERFECTION! The condo in and of itself is wonderfully decorated, and truly the owners have included everything you will need for your stay (from over-sized beach towels, to a pizza cutter if you are so inclined). The floor to ceiling windows allowed for the most incredible views of the ocean we've ever seen. We kept the air conditioning off at night and let the screen doors envelop us with the Maui breeze and the gentle, soothing sounds of the waves! Literally, you couldn't have this property closer to the ocean! From the lanai (which has lovely patio furniture) we saw a cruise ship, sea turtles, whales, dolphins in the distance, kite surfers, and breath-taking sunsets! At night we also sat on the lanai, and saw billions of stars! There are so many activities to do and see in this area of Maui; this condo is close to everything! We chose to have a combination of quiet time at the condo and water activities. The location of the condo (top floor, penthouse) allows for privacy and quiet surroundings. My husband and I have never before experienced anything like this condo and the area around it. Kathy and Michael, thank you so much for everything. We only want to stay in your condo from now on for our trips to Maui! Mahalo a million times!!
Owner response:Aloha Cher, We are so happy that you enjoyed all of our favorite things about our Penthouse. It was so much fun for us to help you with ideas for things to do on your 1st Anniversary/Honeymoon. We hope you get back to visit us soon. Mahalo for all your kind words. Kathy and Michael

Strongly recommend this as a beautifully decorated and appointed penthouse experience. Right on the beach, the sunsets are spectacular. The top floor gives a great feeling of isolation as well as beautiful views.
Owner response:Aloha Bradford, Like you, our main home is on the California coast. Your beautiful location means that you must stay someplace special when you leave home. It was our pleasure to have you stay at our Penthouse. We hope to see you again soon. Kathy and Michael

The condo was stunning. Everything as advertised. Unbelievable views from really everywhere in the condo. Sunsets on the lanai were amazing. All the amenities were great. Pool clean and protected from the wind, the beach was steps away and the snorkeling right out in front of the condo was perfect. Would highly recommend the condo to anyone looking to stay in Maui. Was great having Duke’s right next door for happy hour as well as close to Kaanapali and Lahaina for shopping and nightlife. Would definitely stay there again.

We chose this penthouse for our first trip to Hawaii. Kathy and Michael were great to work with, and the condo was everything that had been promised. We were too late in the season for whales, but the dolphins and turtles didn't let us down. We absolutely adored falling asleep each night to the sound of the surf. We were lucky enough to have the natural air conditioning of the trade winds for our entire stay, so we were very careful to use the wind door as we came and left every day. We ate out most evenings, but the kitchen was great for our breakfasts and happy hour! If you are looking for something special you won't be disappointed with this choice!

Stunningly beautiful oceanfront penthouse

Review Submitted: 04/06/11
The Mahana is a beautiful condo complex, but this one on the 12th floor is knock-out stunningly gorgeous! The view from the living room and bedroom is breathtakingly spectacular. The sunsets are unbelievably beautiful! Whales and dolphins were ridiculously easy to view, even without binoculars. The best part was waking in the morning and spotting whales, usually within a minute, from the living room or lanai. The unit is very private and quiet; we were not bothered by any extraneous noise. All that we could hear was the soothing sound of the surf. The gourmet kitchen was immaculate and well equipped, although we did not take enough advantage of it. Instead, we enjoyed going out to a different restaurant almost every night. Kathy and Michael were very easy to work with, even as we had to reschedule our visit at the last minute due to a medical emergency. We enthusiastically agree with all of the previous positive reviews, and can definitely recommend this condo if you're looking for the ultimate in Maui accomodations. We will be returning as soon as possible! No reason to go anywhere else!
Owner response:Hi Bob and Joelle, We were so happy you could make it to Maui and that Joelle had a special place to recuperate. What a great time to see the whales. We love the baby whale photo you sent to us. You were so lucky to get that photo. We look forward to you joining us again to help get through the Mid-West winter. Don't forget to go to our website where you can access the live webcam on top of our building. It will be your one minute Maui vacation until you can return. Warmest Aloha to you both. Kathy and Michael

1216 at the Mahana is a wonderful destination. It is immaculate, beautifully decorated and maintained, and all the creature comforts have been anticipated by the owners to make your stay special. The photos and description are accurate, in fact the condo looks even better when you see it in person. This was our fifth trip to Kaanapali. This condo surpassed by far the accommodations we have had in the past. We felt lucky to have it to call home for our anniversary trip. We loved watching the whales while having breakfast on the lanai. It is so thrilling to see them. We saw Willie K at Mulligan's in Wailea. Great show. He also appears at Kimo's in Lahaina. We enjoyed walking on the boardwalk over to Duke's for a couple of light dinners. There are so many great restaurants in the area. We always go to the Plantation House in Kapalua for a special dinner, and this time we went on a recommendation to Mama's Fish House - a drive, but worth it. The owners are good at having everything in place and responded quickly to questions I had. Thanks very much for your hospitality!
Owner response:Aloha Sandy and Neil, You were great guest! We are so pleased that you enjoyed our second home and all there is nearby. We hope to see you on your next Anniversary trip to Maui. Kathy and Michael

Slice of Paradise

Review Submitted: 01/29/11
We spent a week here in January. What a gorgeous place. If you check the Internet you will find the Mahana is the number one place to stay in Maui. If you want to make sure you get a beautifully appointed place with a million dollar view, this is it. We had the whales so close we didn’t need binoculars and watched a sea turtle dine on the grass right below the deck for 2 days. Beautiful granite countertops, travertine bathroom, top appliances, entertainment center, 2 flat screen TV’s - you might not want to leave. Kathy and Michael really do care and want to share their slice of paradise with us.
Owner response:Aloha Lisa, You had such a short visit with some rainy weather, that we hope to see you again when you can stay longer. Thanks for the great suggestion that we have implemented. Everyone will be so much happier to have our special 800 count linens now instead of the ones the maid company supplied. I miss our chats already! Kathy and Michael

#1216 is certainly a wonderful place to stay while on the beautiful island of Maui and Kathy was as accommodating as the condo! Everything listed in the description is correct and all the photos are current, really the condo speaks for itself. The condo was very clean and tastefully done with the best view on the island; simply wonderful. During my 7 day stay I shopped exclusively at the Fresh Fish Market a few blocks away as well as the farmer’s market a block further, utilized the wonderful kitchen and had dinner on the lanai each evening. The location of the Mahana is situated just right as you are near nice restaurants, Safeway and the ABC Store. I would most certainly recommend the condo to anyone considering Maui and looking for the condo experience over a hotel as this unit is a home away from home.
Owner response:Aloha Adam, Thank you for sharing the amazing photos you took from the lanai and the surrounding area. We will be putting them on our website to share with everyone that loves Maui. We love it that you stayed in and cooked in the kitchen and ate on the lanai. This is just what we do. We have tried to have the kitchen be workable for anyone that loves to cook. We always wait to eat our fill of fish until we get to Maui and shop at the Fresh Fish Market. Hurry back and visit us again. We enjoyed getting to know you. Warmest Aloha, Kathy and Michael

This was our first trip to Maui and so planning our romantic getaway was a bit intimidating as we wanted to select the perfect place. But luckily our friends who stayed at the Mahana spontaneously recommended the penthouse 1216. The whole process of planning the trip was very smooth and easy as the owners provided us with ample information. We stayed at the penthouse for 5 days and had a great experience. The exterior of the Mahana is a little outdated but the moment you enter the condo, its full of surprise. The breathtaking views of the ocean ,fully upgraded high end kitchen, bathroom, sustainable furniture and the state of art of technology. The use of mirrors to reflect the ocean at every part of the condo was a great idea. The condo was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the sound of the ocean from the bedroom and the candle light dinner at the Lanai. We booked all our activities through the recreation kiosk at the Mahana. We watched the sunrise at the Haleakala National Park, snorkeled at the Molakini Crater, toured the winding roads of Hana and attended the Lahaina Luau. We spent most of the evening at the condo, just unwinding at the Lanai and counting the stars. This is a perfect place to stay if you want to be in unison with the nature. The condo very beautifully merges with the beach and the sound of the waves are so soothing. I will surely stay only at Mahana 1216 on my next visit as it was everything you look for on a vacation - spectacular views, value for the money, safety, interactive owners and finally the place has a magical spirit.
