  The minute we opened the door upon our arrival, the place radiated "welcome home". We immediately opened the sliding glass door to the lanai to let the outside in. The condo is furnished with just everything you need. You couldn't ask for a more well stocked kitchen for your cooking pleasure. We wandered out the door to the lanai 30 feet to the ocean and sat staring at the beauty. Oh and yes the turtles were great to watch out there swimming on the reef. We saw 5 whales frollicking out in the ocean one morning for a long while. The pool is great and the grounds immaculate. We had a great time! It was nice to have conversation with the other renters that were there vacationing. Three of us even shared the grill one. We spent a lot of time in Lahaina Town on Front Street. We have a favorite restaurant which is Aloha Mixed Grill. It sits behind the Cannery which also houses Safeway, Longs Drug and includes a cute little mall. This rental lived up to everything that the owner advertised. The only thing that I would have liked to have in the bathroom is a soap dish by the sink. Sorry, Wanda, I don't mean to be petty. Since returning home, I am bragging about this place to everyone and we are coming back if Wanda and Bernie will have us.

  Owner response: Aloha Kathy! Thank you so much for being an awesome guest and one of the most pleasant I've had the privilege to book to date. I enjoyed speaking with you over the phone initially last year. I was happy when you contacted me again this year with your interest to book and the dates and plans all worked out. We appreciate all the positive comments and are thrilled that you enjoyed everything and got to see the whales. I will note the soap dish recommendation for next time we're there and agree it's a good idea. A previous guest wished for an ice cream scoop and potholders so I made sure we got those items for the unit. Aloha Mixed Plate restaurant is also one of our favorites; they have a great happy hour and mai tais. Thanks again for staying with us and we'd absolutely love to have you back! Much mahalo from Wanda & Bernie

  My wife and 2 boys stayed from March 29 to April 8th, 2013. All we can say is WOW. The condo is nice, clean and well kept. Daily sightings of whales and sea turtles really made this vacation special, all from right out the back lanai. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of grocery stores close by. The BBQ is right out the back and makes for convient dinner BBQ's. Don't hesitate to reserve your dream vacation with Wanda and Bernie. They are wonderful to work with and made reserving a cinch.

  My boyfriend and I stayed at this condo dec 28 until jan 6th, and overall had a good time. Condo was reasonably clean and had lots of essentials to get us started when we arrived (soap, paper towels etc). The kitchen is well equipped, and there are plenty of grocery stores close by. My only issue was that there was a lot of tiny bugs on the floor and in cupboards, there are traps scattered around but possible need more or replacing. Linens were clean, lots of storage, spacious condo, good for extended stays. The location was easy to get to, but you HAVE to have a vehicle if you are staying anywhere in Maui. The complex was quiet and didn't seem busy, would be good for families or older couples. It is on the ground floor, and there is a BBQ area right outside the door, with easy access to the beach. We chose this condo because we wanted a beach outside our door, however the beach is owned privately by the adjoining residents, not Kahana Reef. We were told this on New Years when there was a large family party, and it would have been good to know before we booked. There was lots to do and see in Maui, road to Hana is an awesome drive, so many beaches along the coast, but the Maui Aquarium is worth skipping. We saw plenty of whales, you can see them from most beaches but the excursions were worth it for up close encounters! Overall, we had a great time and Maui was a great place to visit!

  Owner response: Aloha Emma, We appreciate receiving your review and comments, and glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and time in Maui! We are sorry that you experienced any issue with bugs; we actually had a routine pest control service scheduled for the day before your arrival so I will definitely check with our vacation management company's maintenance dept. to find out if this was done, and if not we will make sure it is taken care of ASAP. About the beach adjacent to the property, it is very unfortunate that you received misinformation from someone who was clearly not showing the friendly "aloha spirit" that is the norm in Hawaii. I assure you that ALL beaches in Hawaii are 100% public and while there is a family of locals who live in the house immediately next to the complex, they do not own the beach (nor does the Kahana Village resort own the adjoining beach just a little further north of the complex). Occupants and guests at Kahana Reef, as well as the general public, are free to access and enjoy the beach next door; our previous guests have attested to that in their reviews. We are very glad though that you had an overall great time and experiences in Maui, and we thank you again for being our guests! Mahalo & aloha, Wanda & Bernie

  Aloha Wanda & Bernie and future guests to your wonderful Condo! This is a prime location on the West side if you are looking for relaxation and beauty with the action of Kaanapali or Lahaina only a short drive away. You really look after your place and supply almost everything one would need for a home away from home vacation. Although we were a little early for the whales we saw many lovely turtles happily loitering in front of the property! The pool although small was clean, refreshing and hardly in use while we were there so it felt like our own personal pool. Kudo's to the maintenance crew of this complex (we rewarded them in the mornings with cookies!) The BBQ grill was the cleanest we have ever encountered in shared condo living - and we used it alot this time to Maui! Highlights are to try Fleetwood's on Front Street (a new restaurant/bar) with live music every night and you might just get Mic Fleetwood to drop by to jam with the band - we did! Also the China Boat across the street is under new management and the food was excellent! A newer restaurant to try is Star Noodle - a little harder to find (in the industrial area just above the Cannery Mall) but well worth the wait in line! Again, Many Mahalo's Wanda & Bernie for your excellent communication and we will definitely be back one day for a stay at your little piece of paradise in Kahana - hopefully a longer stay than two weeks!

  Owner response: Aloha Tracy & Colin! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and thorough review of your stay and experience! We are so glad you enjoyed the condo, and we truly appreciate receiving such positive feedback, especially from someone who also owns, and knows Maui quite well. Your recommendations for some of the newer restaurants will be very helpful for our future potential guests, and your observations about our property are spot-on and reaffirms that we have a lovely location that is hard to find anymore in prime West Maui and for the value we offer. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences. We wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the meticulous care and daily maintenance of the Kahana Reef grounds, and thank you for pointing that out because we are extremely appreciative of the efforts of the friendly and wonderful crew who have been with the complex a long time, and are very dedicated to making and keeping the grounds and property top notch for us and our guests year-round. We thank you again for choosing our condo for your stay, and would be very pleased to welcome you back in the near future! Much mahalo and Happy Holidays, Wanda & Bernie (P.S. Just a small correction on your review title; our unit is actually #116. Thanks again!!) :-)

  Lovely unit in a great West Maui location. Very close to Flemming Beach and fabulous snorkeling in Honolua Bay. The unit is well outfitted and very comfortable, and groceries/restaurants are walking distance nearby. Watch the turtles and the golden sunsets, swim the small sandy beach or the refreshing pool or just lounge on your lanai. The grounds, BBQ and pool are immpecably well maintained. Very good value here and the owner Wanda was a delight to deal with. We will be back!

  Beautiful view, clean, comfortable condo. We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful condo. Enjoyed the quiet surroundings, very convenient to many great beaches. Plenty of excellent restaurants in short distances. This trip was for our 25th Wedding Anniversary and this place made it very enjoyable. Hope to go back next year.

  Loved our recent stay at this condo. It was clean & comfortable, with excellent ocean & sunset views!!!! We could walk on the adjoining beach (without having any beach traffic come by the condo) and swim in the ocean with the resident turtle. The pictures and description of the condo and immaculately maintained property were absolutely accurate & true.

  Sometimes choosing a condo over the internet is a little of a gamble, but this time it was a winner. We loved the sound of the lapping waves and the beautiful, changing view of Lani in front of us. The people around us were quiet but friendly. We enjoyed walking across the street to the China Boat restaurant and the ability to walk to the convenience store as well as walking on the sandy stretch of beach next to our condo. The condo came with everything we needed-it was a great place, at a great price and we had lots of fun.

  My husband and I booked this condo for our 25th Anniversary, so it was a big deal to us, and the condo didn't disappoint. In fact, the condo was everything we dreamed of and more. By the second day we sat around and dreamed of staying for good. The bedroom was spacious with plenty of storage for the 4 huge suitcases of stuff we brought, and we slept wonderfully in the comfortable king sized bed with a soft ocean breeze at night. The bathroom was a bit "Vegas" with the gold sink and toilet, but it was also very spacious with lots of drawers, plenty of towels, and a makeup counter (next time I'd bring a lighted mirror though it was a bit dim.) The kitchen was well stocked, quite large, and clean. We went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on food for breakfast and picnic lunches. The only thing I couldn't find was an ice cream scoop (You must get some Haupia frozen ice cream while you are there, yum!) They have a community BBQ grill that I wish we'd have had time to take advantage of. The full time residents were helpful and nice. The grounds are well manicured and beautiful. But the best part was the outside patio dining where we enjoyed our coffee every morning. The view is breathtaking - the ocean, the islands, the turtles, the rainbows....It's a piece of heaven I wish I had every day. I loved the grass all the way to the ocean wall where you could sit on a lounge chair, read a book in the sun or shade, listen to the ocean and feel the cool breeze without sand whipping you in the face. The owner of the condo was very nice and great to work with. She was very helpful with anything we asked about, and had some great ideas of what to do while we were there. I have to say I'd rather stay here than at a big resort because it's quiet and private, and there's a beach just a few feet away. If we can find a way, we'll be back for sure.

  Owner response: Aloha and a big mahalo for such a kind and thorough review! We're thrilled that you were able to enjoy a wonderful anniversary in beautiful Maui, and so glad to hear that your stay in our condo turned out to be more than you hoped for! Guests that enjoy our condo and the complex are those not seeking a "big resort" atmosphere or experience, but appreciate a quiet and laid back environment where they can relax and unwind. That mezmerizing ocean view certainly helps! I'm so glad that this stay was able to provide that for you. Mahalo to you and Rick for staying with us, sharing such nice thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back again! Much aloha from Wanda & Bernie

  Suite #116 in the Kahana Reef was just great for us. Bright, airy, right on the water, central location for West Maui, very clean, nice pool, good flat screen tv, comfortable bed. The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. While there is a sub-zero fridge as described, the decor and appliances are somewhat dated, 80s probably, but everything was spotlessly clean. The BBQ was very near the lanai, so it was easy to just walk out and cook. Air conditioning is uneccessary in breezy Maui, just leave the front and back windows open and there is a constant breeze - we never felt too hot, not even once. It is right on the ocean, a few feet from the lanai you can look at sea turtles and see rainbows over Molokai. A few feet to the north end of the property are stairs down to a lovely sandy beach, great for swimming and sun bathing. It was almost like our own private little beach. We would love to stay here again sometime. It is a very quiet complex. Scrupulously maintained grounds, the grounds keepers were there everyday (except maybe not the weekend). And the laundry room is wonderful, modern front loading machines. My only quibble is that the laundry room closed at 6:30 pm. As we liked to be out during the day seeing the sites and visiting other beaches, we would have prefered to do laundry in the evening. We would definitely book here again on another trip to Mau. The Hula Grill at Whaler's Village is terrific, the fish at the little fish shop on Lower Honoapiilani Highway is great. If you go to the Maui Ocean Center acquarium pass on the restaurant there not that good. Best food we had was at the Monkey Pod restaurant in Wailea - a long drive away but if you go to the fabulous Big Beach you can have lunch or dinner in Wailea.
