Location: Mahana, Kaanapali, West Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA (Dist. from Kahului Airport -28.9 Mi; Kapalua Airport- 2.3 Mi) View Map
Accommodations: Condo, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
A much sought-after complex; the Mahana is an unusual property in that it features all direct ocean front condos, less than 75' away from the beach, at the north end of the famous Kaanapali Beach in West Maui. Built in 1975 with 216 units on 5.011 acres of tropical gardens; it offers uninterrupted views of the islands of Lanai and Molokai with dramatic sunsets. The Mahana is centrally located to shops, golf courses, historic Lahaina and exclusive Kaanapali resort areas.
Our second condo acquisition, on the 11th floor, features stunning granite countertops in the beautifully remodeled kitchen, with it's built-in refrigerator matching the pristine white surrounding cabinets and appliances. The tropical atmosphere of the dining area and living room add to the feel of the islands. The comfortable wrap around couch is perfect for relaxing with that favorite book on a lazy afternoon and also makes into a queen-sized bed; or sit in the deep swivel chairs and watch schools of fish swim the currents looking for food in the reef. Watch sea turtles, humpback whales with their young or delight in the early morning joggers or the strong and courageous surfers out in the curls.
His and Hers sinks are set in beautiful granite in the bathroom vanity area, with a stunning sealife sculpture for your viewing pleasure; and give plenty of room to get ready to hit the town or beach. Step into the shower onto beautiful tiled floor. Brand new flat screen TV with VCR in living room and new flat screen/DVD TV in bedroom, with luxurious King-size bed.
These luxurious units at the Mahana, are directly accessible to the beach and by renting from the owners, you get exactly what you see - no surprises on what your unit will look like - so don't play luck of the draw on getting a wonderful condo for your Maui vacation! And each time our guest returns and books our condo through our vrbo, we give an automatic 10% off (only one discount per booking - at time of booking). And each time we visit, we will be adding many more personal touches! And one more thing - there's NO WAITING - Our guests BYPASS the FRONT DESK in the lobby and go straight to the Kiosk to the right, to sign in and get your parking permit to put in your vehicle. That's it!! Everything else is in the condo. You never deal with the Front Desk - Ever.
The beachfront pool and lobby have recently been remodeled and in the pool area, there are brand new BBQ's where you can grill up that fresh Mahi Mahi from the market, or where you can sit and relax in the super-sized hot tub and sip your fresh beverage that you can purchase from the beverage cart just a few feet away, or bring with you. The Mahana is also upgrading all of the old railings on the lanais to beautiful Plexiglas. These projects will add to your safety and viewing pleasure when completed!
From late November/December to May, it is believed that 1,500 - 2,000 humpback whales come to the Maui water to mate, give birth and care for their young. They are very easy to spot but we always like to bring our binoculars for that up close and personal view! Toothed whales and dolphins are year-round regulars as are sea turtles; even look for the occasional eel, stingray or octopus! You can walk out and snorkel right in front of your condo or walk to the left between the Mahana and the Sheridan Blackrock area where you will find the absolute best snorkeling with the many amazing fish of Maui!
Whaler's Village is fun for shopping and lunch, only a 5 minute drive away (we liked Leilani's and the Hula Grill) and Lahaina is about 10 minutes drive away with many spectacular eating and shopping establishments. Our newest favorite place to eat is The Maalaea WaterFront Restaurant, with its amazing views and the food is to die for! Definitely go see the Old Lahaina Luau, it's highly recommended, and there are four championship golf courses nearby, making it a golfers dream-come-true.
You'll never want to stay anywhere else on Maui; truly a dream for newlyweds, families, couples for anniversaries or first trips to Maui. Just plain wonderful for those who wish to maximize their time together! Many couples get married on the island and you can find a lot of information for your ceremony at the mauiweddings website, and many island florists to chose from, such as the Kaanapali Romance Florist. Make your wedding a memory to cherish and *PLEASE let us know if you are planning a wedding or anniversary*!
So come be our guests and be pampered in luxury! We have SPECIAL RATES for those who want to stay monthly - please inquire!
Mahalo and Aloha! Carrie and Russ, The Owners
We also own 118 and 804 at the Mahana, and you can see them on vrbo as well!
