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)
Email us your rental inquiry (much better for us than telephoning) for this 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.
This, our second condo acquisition, is 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 use the new binoculars we purchased to watch schools of fish swim the currents looking for food in the reef. Watch sea turtles, spinner dolphins, humpback whales with their young or delight in the early morning joggers or the strong surfers out in the curls.
His and Hers sinks are set in beautiful granite in the bathroom vanity area, and give plenty of room to get ready to hit the town or beach. Step into the shower onto beautiful tiled floor. Brand new 42" flat screen TV in living room and new 37" flat screen TV in bedroom, with luxurious Cal. King-size bed with brand new Serta Trump Plush mattress set as of 6/2/11. Condo has been recently redecorated; all freshly painted walls, new artwork, brand new carpeting - among other items!
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 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/food cart just a few feet away, or bring with you. The Mahana also upgraded all of the old railings on the lanais to beautiful Plexiglas. These projects added to your safety and viewing pleasure! They've also recently put in a new tropical walk out front and planted an herb garden for your cooking and dining pleasure.
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 will be providing brand new binoculars in each of our condos in May for our guests to use! 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 close to the Mahana. Make your wedding a memory to cherish!
So come be our guests and be pampered in luxury! We have SPECIAL RATES for those who want to stay monthly - please inquire!
We also own 118, 804 and 1008 at the Mahana, and you can see them on vrbo as well AND, remember to always email us your rental inquiry as we could be traveling without a phone, but we always check emails!
Mahalo and Aloha! Carrie and Russ

Our stay in this condo was everything we could have wished for. The owners supplied everything we needed to make us feel comfortable and we felt very much at home. They were helpful in answering the many questions we had before arrival as this was our first trip to Maui. The updated decor is elegant and the entire condo was clean and well kept. Even so, we spent a lot of our time on the lanai because of the spectacular views! The totally oceanfront Mahana is the way to go when visiting Maui. We loved coming back to the peace and quiet after daily meetings down the more populated beach areas at the Hyatt. We've passed this listing on to several friends and hope to return ourselves. The restaurants that we particularly enjoyed were The Pineapple Grill, Mama's Fish House, and Mala.
Owner response:Clif and Nan, We hope to have you back soon! We have three more condos for you to choose from and we try very hard to keep each of them up to date and very comfortable for our guests. Next time you book, we offer a discount so be sure and let us know! Mahalo and Aloha! Carrie and Russ

It was a fantastic vacation! We were here for my brother's wedding. My husband and two son's (adults) had a great time! It was great to come home, I was born and raised here. We are looking for a place ourselves. We Love Your Home! Took son's to Paia (where I was born) Makawao, Punerae, Kula (up country), The Neddle, Kennedy head, around the inland Kapalua to Wailuku, Hana, etc. beach, dinner at Leilani, Hula Grill, Honu, Cheese Burger Rest., Lahaina. We left a lot of unopened beverages for the next guest, (in fridge) and more liquor added to your bar, and beer in fridge. We will be back in Feb., 2012!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home! Mahalo and Aloha!

I am so very glad Kathy suggested I look at other Mahana units when hers was booked and unavailable. Your condo is a delightful place to spend a vacation, even "solo" as I did. And once again a vrbo property proved even better than it's listing suggested. Though I didn't take advantage of the stocked stash of booze, my "pay it forward" should make brewing tea easier for your future guests. Mahalo and Aloha.

We had an amazing visit to Maui celebrating our 30th year of marriage. We loved snorkeling right in front of Dukes, better than Black Rock. Loved dinner at Mama's and Merrimens! The condo is beautiful, we even bought alcohol and really stocked the bar up (there was one partial bottle of Jack). We also left coffee filters and laundry soap. It was great being able to get a late check out with a 9pm flight. The weather was beautiful every day. We will be back. Thanks again - loved your condo!

Mahalo for letting us stay while we toured Maui and renewed our vows for our 30th wedding anniversary. What a perfect setting! Before we knew it, we were calling the condo "home". Each day we breakfasted on the lanai to begin and ended with wine and candlelight for dinner. We absolutely love the beaches and the kindness of the people we met. We'll never forget the rainbows, dolphins and turtles we saw from the lanai. We found the setting so quiet and private, we felt like we were on our own private island. Thanks so much for the beautiful bouquet you sent to honor our anniversary. You have made our experience incredibly special.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers. We enjoyed staying in your condo celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. The views were amazing. We had a great time. The road to Hana was beautiful, snorkeling with the Trilogy, helicopter tour of the island and Old Lahaina Luau were highlights to our trip. We enjoyed Mama's Fish House, Duke's next door, Leilani's, Bubba Gump's and the pizza place just across the street has the best pizza. Your condo was truly a home away from home. Thanks again. This was our best vacation ever.

We LOVED your home! The views were "SPECTACULAR"! What a great location. We even saw a pod of 25+ dolphins close to shore while relaxing on the lanai one afternoon. You had everything we needed and more. We hope to return someday soon (maybe to watch the whales). Mahalo. PS. Painted accent walls and new mattress a definite plus! {:>}

We were thrilled the moment we discovered your unit online and even more thrilled when we saw it in person. We could not ask for a better home away from home. You provide anything and everything we could need during our stay. We will most definitely stay here again because the views alone are worth it! PS. We dropped and broke a bottle of shampoo when grabbing the red cooler. So sorry! We did clean out mold in cooler due to someone not drying it out so I hope that makes up for shampoo {:>D Mahalo
