ALOHA and thank you for considering our home for your Maui vacation! Our condo was completely renovated in Dec. 2011 and we hope you like what we've done.
Just 10 feet from the ocean and located on the second floor, you will not be disappointed! Upon entering the condo, you will be drawn immediately to our spacious lanai (balcony). The panoramic views of Moloka'i, Lana'i and the ocean are amazing! The sandy beach in Kahana is directly adjacent to the condo and provides excellent swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing.
Once you're able to pull yourself from the outside view (and the turtles that feed directly below our condo), the interior is also warm and inviting. The calm, modern setting is perfect for curling up on the couch in the cozy, living area. Relax while reading a book, catching up on the latest news or spending a romantic evening watching the sun go down.
When it's time to go to sleep, the comfortable king-size bed is not far away. Open all the windows to allow the sound of the ocean waves and breezes lull you to sleep. When you awaken feeling rested and refreshed, the ocean will be the first thing you see in the morning.
Our fully-equipped, modern kitchen and bathroom with full tub and shower have all the conveniences of home. The thought of staying in a hotel will become a thing of the past.
Pohailani is located in quiet Kahana, nestled between the bustling resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua. Within walking distance, you will find fine restaurants and shopping in the Kahana Gateway Center. If you prefer other options, you're only a short drive to Kapalua, Napili, Ka'anapali or Lahaina. Famous beaches, world-class golf courses, Whaler's Village, a farmers' market, grocery stores and other amenities are just minutes away.
We hope you will love our home as much as we do and come back year after year! Mahalo!!

This is a very cozy spot right on the water. From the lanai, Sunsets every night, watching turtles every afternoon and breakfast every morning. Beaches are within walking distance, world class snorkeling beaches a short drive away. This location is best with shops/restrarants within walking distance.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Wayne & Kim - Thank you so much for the great review! It was a pleasure meeting both of you. We hope you are able to make it back to Maui again soon.

You guys have done an amazing job remodeling this fantastic place! We've stayed here before (knew the previous owners) and loved it then because of the unbelievable location. But when we saw what you've done with the place ... WOW! Kudos! It's absolutely gorgeous and I truly don't know if you could have done any better! :) All of the small details are fabulous as well. Nice to have it so fully stocked with high-end furnishings, linens, dishes, etc. We were very impressed. You made a phenomenal place on Maui even better! Thanks so much! It's always been our very favorite spot on Maui and we owned a unit in that building for several years as well. Maui no ka oi. (Maui is the best.) Your unit: no ka oi. :)Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Lani - Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your wonderful review! Your comments mean so much to us, especially since you know how far our condo has come to be what it is today. We hope you and your husband will choose to stay with us again on your next trip "home!"

What a pleasant surprise! We needed a place to stay for 3 nights while we were waiting to check into our primary Maui destination. This place was affordable and on the water and it exceeded our expectations! Joe and Naomi are outstanding owners and have really made this studio a nice home away from home. The furnishings and decor were very comfortable, the kitchen had all the right utensils, dishes, and appliances, and if you like the sound of the surf and a spectacular view of the ocean, this place has it. We had some minor problems with the sliding doors, we shared this with Joe and Naomi and they were already considering a fix. Also the sea wall was under construction while we were there so we didn't have use of the bar-b-q area. That didn't interfere with our second floor view and shouldn't be a problem for anyone else as they were nearing completion. Also expect a bit of road noise since the condo is close to the road. We saw turtles right below our lani every day and whales in the distance. There is a great beach about a half block north. The trail is a bit hard to see if your driving, but just walk up the road and you'll find it. The condo provided beach chairs, coolers, and beach towels. We snorkeled from Honolua Bay to Makena and found turtles everywhere. Our favorite places to dine included our condo, my wife is an awesome cook so with regular stops at the Farmer's Market for fresh fruits and veggies and Foodland Farms for Poke and beer we enjoyed the best of the island. We also enjoyed Pupus at the Seahouse, Pad Thai at Star Noodle, and to get the most for our money the pulled pork at Beach Bums at Maalaea. Also don't miss the Slack Key Show, lots of fun and gave us a real appreciation for Hawaiian guitar.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Tim & Jeneane - thank you for your wonderful review! We're very happy to know our condo exceeded your expectations and you enjoyed your stay. The construction work on the seawall has put a bit of a damper on everyone's stay in our complex and unfortunately, there is never a good time to schedule this kind of work. The major work should be completed by now and oceanfront barbeque should be available to guests again. Many thanks to everyone for their patience during this process!

This condo is in a great central location of Maui. It's clean, it's modern, and the bed is very comfortable. Pride of ownership comes to mind when you look around at the updated interior. All the furniture pieces are nice, the kitchen is completely stocked with good quality dishes & cookware. The view cannot be beat. The owners were extremely helpful and responsive. In fact, I emailed them because I had a question and I received a response within minutes! I highly recommend this condo for anyone who wants a nice place to stay and a reasonable price.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Sherry - you and your husband were an absolute delight to work with! Thank you so much for renting from us. We loved the communications we had with you and you were so thoughtful in taking care of the little things. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Please don't forget us - we certainly hope to have you as guests again. Many mahalos! N & J

My girlfriend and I stayed at Pohailani in Lahaina for 7 nights and the property was just wonderful (exactly as described in the posting). The unit has all the necessities that you need and was very clean. It is in a great location in northwest Maui, close to beaches, rental shops, restaurants and grocery stores. We travelled the entire island and this is the area I would have chosen to stay. We cooked our breakfast in the unit almost every day and ate it out on the lanai, which is less than 10 feet from the ocean. We saw sea turtles most mornings, crabs, and people surfing and paddle boarding. Hearing the waves crash all night is very soothing. There are a few boogie boards to use in the unit (but some are broken). I would just rent snorkel gear and boogie boards for the week (very cheap from rental shops). Only small warning I have is watch your toes and shins on the bed frame, it sticks out past the mattress OUCH!!! Overall an amazing stay, I will book the same property for my next visit to Maui.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Mahalo for your very kind review, Chris! We're glad to know our condo met all your needs and expectations and you were able to find the nearby rental stores for your snorkeling gear, etc. Thanks again for taking the time to post your review!

Mahalo for opening your beautiful home and allowing us to stay there! The pictures don't do it justice. We loved sitting on the lanai in the morning eating our breakfast watching the turtles swim just feet away from us, and watching the beautiful Maui sunsets at night. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could need, and it was the perfect home base location for our trip to Maui! We will definitely be staying here in this condo again on our next Maui Vacation!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Eva - We greatly appreciate your wonderful comments! We're so happy to know you enjoyed your time spent at our condo and on Maui. Hurry back and visit us again soon! Many mahalos, N & J

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Poihailani. The condo was outfitted with everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The setting was absolutely fantastic with gorgeous sunsets and turtles feasting right below us. We had never stayed in West Maui before and very much appreciated the close proximity to great beaches, snorkeling, hiking, and restaurants. We will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Kenny and Alicia - We love knowing people like you appreciate the location of our condo! Kahana is a lovely area away from the major resorts. It would be difficult to find another complex as close to the ocean as we are. Mahalo for taking such good care of our little home! We hope you visit us again on your next trip to Maui.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful condo with us. It is nicer that the pictures show and we totally loved the lanai and our daily turtle watches. This was a perfect homebase for all our adventures. We loved the sunrises and sunsets. Your beautiful place far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier. Maloha!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Jack and Kathy - Thank you so much for your wonderful view! You were so easy to work with and we truly appreciate your positive feedback. It's make us happy to know others find our place as beautiful as we do. Hurry back to see the turtles (and the whales!). Many mahalos! N & J

Aloha Naomi & Joe, We had a fabulous time in Maui and your condo was the perfect home away from home. We couldn't have asked for more; superb oceanfront with beautiful sunsets, incredible lanai views, comfy chic accommodations and the list goes on and on. The location was excellent making it easy to explore West, South and Central Maui. The daily sea turtle sightings from our lanai was a real treat and the easy access to so many wonderful beaches in the area made our honeymoon unforgettable. We were quite content to prepare many of our meals at home in the lovely equipped kitchen and we also appreciated the opportunity to throw in a load of laundry when needed; definitely an added bonus. Thank you for sharing your gem in Maui!! Mahalo, Nadia & GaetanoRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Nadia & Gaetano - You're very welcome! We're so happy to know you had a wonderful honeymoon. Thank you so much for taking the time to submit your great review. We wish you both many years of love and happiness as you begin your new journey together as husband and wife!

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: We fell in love with Maui when we spent our honeymoon here and have returned to Hawaii almost every year since then. We have vacationed on other islands but Maui was always our favorite. Our dream was to someday own a 'little piece of paradise' on Maui and finally, we have achieved that dream! We have renovated our condo to feel as warm and welcoming as our own home and we are very excited to be able to share our condo with you!
Why the Owner Chose Kahana:
We had to have a place where the view was oceanfront - no exceptions! Kahana was the perfect location for us because it is between the resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua (we love to golf) and a 15-minute drive to Lahaina. In Kahana, you are able to enjoy the relaxed pace of island living without sacrificing conveniences.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
You get to experience some of the most incredible things Maui has to offer without leaving your room - unobstructed views of Moloka'i & Lana'i, picturesque sunsets, the sound of the ocean, the breeze on your face and an overall feeling of serenity every day! We are also one of the few units in our complex, on the ocean, that has a washer and dryer in our condo!!
