We stayed at this condo in January and had a great time. The pictures are accurate and everything was very clean and well maintained. Patty called while we were there to check that everything was going well. We had the twin beds in the second bedroom made into a king sized bed which was very comfortable. The view from the full wall of windows in the guest room is beautiful with lush trees. It was like being in a tree house. We sat on the lanai every day and watched the surfers and whales. This corner unit has spectacular views! This building is right on the beach, much closer than the other hotels and condos, so it was very easy to get the full experience of the ocean. Twice we walked next door to Duke's for dinner...so yummy and handy. The grocery store is very close and we stocked up on breakfast items and ate out on the lanai most mornings. What a great way to start the day. Patty had provided a list of their favorite places which was very helpful. Everyone we met at the Mahana was very friendly and helpful, we couldn't have asked for a better stay. I would recommend this unit without hesitation to family and friends. It was wonderful.

We visited this winter on a business/pleasure trip. The accomodations were amazing, and absolutely as advertised. I was able to prepare gourmet meals in the comfort of our suite, and had plenty of utensils/pots/pans/etc. to do so. The property was clean and quiet; the atmosphere pleasant and peacefull. The owners are helpful and go above and beyond the call to make sure you are comfortable and settled. They do this, however, without being at all intrusive. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

My friend and I stayed for one week in this condo. The condo is really lovely, decorated with soothing colors making it easy to relax. The lani is so big and inviting with a breathtaking view of the ocean. We went to the pool every morning and that area is very well kept. It's convenient location is very close to Lahana and other shopping and fun. If you have not made any excursions on line, the concierge is very knowledgable and helpful. We look forward to returning to this condo soon.

My family and I just returned from a one week stay at the beautiful condo at Mahana (summer 2010). It's everything and more! The pictures do not do justice to the incredible view we had on the 6th floor. It truly is ocean front and has a great view overlooking the pool and jacuzzi. The property is very centrally located in Kaanapali with convenient markets closeby. Patty is a wonderful hostess and ensured we had everything we needed. Her list of recommended shopping, eating, adventures, etc. came in very handy. We'll be back for another stay!!!

We found our stay to be an absolutely wonderful time! Let me explain. We wanted a very nice, well equipped and spacious condo, with fabulous views and conveniently located. This condo is all of that and more. There were 2 drawbacks noted by my crew, but in our case they didn't matter a whit. The first drawback was that the grounds are not what the Hyatt Kaanapali has that is right down the beach. There is a nice pool and hot tub at the condos, but there is not acres of heavily landscaped grounds, etc. That didn't matter to us as we were there to see Maui, not just some hotel's grounds, and we did spend an afternoon with friends at the Hyatt who told us they paid a zillion bucks and essentially had a view of a construction site, having been told their room had Ocean View. Right. They'd have killed to have had our view and lenai. Also the beach that is directly in front of the condo is narrow and has some kelp in the water. That too didn't matter because 25 feet down the beach starts a fabulous beach all the way to Black Rock and it is all open to the public. So go to this condo. Sit on the lenai and sip coffee in the morning as the surf 6 floors below makes music and the day gradually dawns and then watch the sunset over pina coladas in the evening (there is even a blender in the kitchen). Get the book Maui Revealed and go get in your car and see this magnificent island, knowing you'll return to a wonderful condo at the end of a day's exploration. The arrangements were wonderful , the condo is tremendously equipped (including the kitchen which is a rarity) and it is easy to find close in parking. Kinda challenging to find the first time, but a snap after that. We'd go again in a heartbeat.

Review Submitted: 06/24/10
I have rented many condos in my travels directly from owners and without reservation I have to testify that my experience at the Mahana Resort was absolutely flawless. From the time I first contacted the owners Patty and Rick by telephone inquiring about their condo to the time my wife and I arrived back home after our vacation nothing could have been easier and simpler than working with Patty. She checked with us after our arrival to insure we arrived safely and to make sure everything was as expected. Patty again checked with is after we returned home to thank us and again to ensure everything was fine. You will not find a finer person to work with. As for the condo itself, simply outstanding. The huge lanai (and I mean huge), to the views of the ocean and the pool, this unit is fantastic. The unit is a 2 BR 2B corner unit so you have a wider view of the ocean, pool and surrounding terrain. Every item you would expect in your home is here for your use. You name it and Patty and Rick have supplied it. If you are in the market to rent a condo on Maui, I highly recommend you contact Patty and Rick and inquire about their condo. As I have stated earlier, I always rent directly from owners and my above review is the reason why. Flawless! Mahalo Patty/Rick!

Patty Cassidy was delightful to work with and three of us enjoyed a great two weeks at Mahana at the end of February, 2010. The property was completely furnished and the amenities of the condo were well maintained. Beaches on this part of Maui are exceptional. Many excellent snorkeling venues and first rate whale watching at this time of the year. We ventured out from this location to tour by car, ride a guided tour to Hana and return, play golf and visit many exceptional restaurants. We recommend a rental car for this purpose, and the best deal I found was through AAA, using my membership.

This was our second vacation in Mahana #611 and if we return to Maui again, would plan to do a third vacation in this unit!! It is a perfect location, beautifully appointed, fully stocked...couldn't ask for more. The lania was the most popular spot, of course, with the sliding doors left open most of the time...music to our ears....absolutely wonderful!! The owners are by far the most caring and interested in our vacation enjoyment as any we've experienced. This is high on our recommended list -- ENJOY!!

The condo was well appointed and the view was incredible. The condo is in great shape and is well taken care of. Its location was perfect. You have a front row seat to watch whales in the ocean as well as watching the kids swim in the pool. We can't wait to get back to Maui and we would certainly stay in this condo again. Thanks Dan

FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS We were lucky enough to spend Xmas and New Years in #611 - Mahana. Every day better than the last. Even though the weather was not sunny everyday, we enjoyed our home away from home for the holidays. Decorated the Condo with lights and hung stockings for Santa to fill. The kitchen is well equiped and we were able to cook a full turkey dinner with all the trimings and other spectacular meals. Did not even feel the need to go the restaurants. Sitting on the Lanai was amazing, wether reading, playing cards or just simply doing nothing but watch the whales jump out of the water. I have already booked #611 for another stay and cannot wait to get there. HIGH RECOMMEND

We had a fantastic time!!!! There were several days we didn't do anything other than relax, read, lounge on the lanaii, and swim. It was a wonderful vacation for us to celebrate 20 years of marriage!! We did a couple of days of driving tours around the island (I think we drove on every road in Maui - we had a jeep) which was a wonderful way to meet some local people and see the breathtaking scenery of the coastal shores. We enjoyed snorkelling and even saw one of the first whales of the season! This condo was part of the fantastic experience, and you thought of everything! It was clean and comfortable, spacious and comfortable furniture with all the amenities of home. It was better than the pictures - and so close to the water!!! It was nice to be ten minutes from the noise and hubbb of Lahaina, yet close enough to enjoy sightseeing or shopping there without driving too far. Your customer service calls were very thoughtful, although we didn't need anything. The condo unit was clean and well laid out, the building was well staffed and well maintained. There were many local restaurants to chose from (our favourite was Canoes in Lahaina) but we also had access to BBQs on site which were cleaned daily. There is a new pool and hottub which we used a little, but it was the ocean that we came for. The view was spectacular - right from the balcony! You definitely need a car to enjoy the island, it was fun stopping at roadside beaches all over the island - we even saw a beach wedding. We have definitely recommended it to anyone going, and would definitely call you if we ever come again. Thank you so much!!

We enjoyed the lanai a lot, and of course, we kept the doors open to hear the ocean play its music.

B.G. Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Date Submitted:Jan 25, 2008 Date of Stay: Nov 2007 We are previous timeshare/condo owners and try to travel at a gold crown "+" rating level. This 'corner unit' is nothing short of exceptional through and by value, location, design, cleanliness, furnishings, spaciousness and, of course, has gorgeous "on the ocean" scenery! The pictures selected/shown are true and actual; in fact at first glance we were wondering how Patty got our pictures! The constant beauty (and sounds) of the pacific at/on the 6th floor level where is unit is situated were certainly a large part of our Maui experience (our 2nd visit). The fully equipped condo had everything we had hoped for and went beyond our expectations. The personal contact by the owner shortly after our arrival was just another 'touch of class'; the second call (from the owners) is just another example of how caring they are about their 'visitors'!! We configured the 2nd large separate bedroom into another King Size bed (two senior couples travelling together) - both bedrooms have their own ensuites; the beds were very comfortable!! The oversized balcony of this unit had new furnishings (Nov. '07) and this part of the condo was a constant source of entertainment and relaxation - we always ate our breakfast and "snacks" on this extra wide balcony. Patty and Rick's condo also hosts a "guest book" --- take time to review it BEFORE venturing out --- there are thoughtful comments and recommendations. Although the pool is not huge, it is entirely refurbished, well maintained, not noisey and very convenient - in fact we could look down at the pool too! The Maui properties in the area are also 1st class -- meaning they are in keeping with this unit and the building it is 'housed'. We will return to The Mahana --- specifically to Patty and Ricks' unit --- and have recommended this condo to our family for their upcoming Maui experience. We used Island Air (great flight and staff) for our inand landed at Kapalua (West Maui) airport; The Mahana is 5 minutes from this airport, the car rental agencies are 6 minutes away --- it couldn't have been better. The local grocery store is basically across the street. As to shopping - naturally you will want to rent a car, Maui is very easy to get around!!

This was our first trip to Maui and we were fortunate enough to luck into the perfect location! The Mahana Resort is just a few feet away from the beach and when you're sitting on the lanai you have an unobstructed view of palm trees and the ocean. It truly feels as though you have "gotten away from it all" to a secluded tropical island. But at the same time, you have all the comforts of home in the condo and shopping, dining and entertainment options are close at hand. The condo is very well maintained and beautifully decorated. The corner location enhances the views and makes the whole unit very bright and attractive. Patty was very attentive, calling to welcome us and giving us several recommendations for fun things to do nearby. Unfortunately, the pool was being renovated during our stay, but our hosts were very gracious about compensating us for the inconvenience and arranging for the use of the pool in a nearby complex. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone for a relaxing Maui vacation and we hope to return again someday soon.
Owner response:We are so happy to hear you had a memorable and wonderful vacation in our Hawaiian home. The pool renovation and improvements have been completed. Guests are raving about the jacuzzi spa overlooking the ocean, the newly constructed bath/changing house and the new outdoor patio and lounge furniture. We hope you can return soon to enjoy these cherished new enhancements to the Mahana. Mahalo and Aloha, Patty and Rick

Recently my husband and I had the opportunity to spend a week in this lovely condo. We were very pleased with the oversized lanai, the spacious rooms, the cleanliness as well as the attention to detail in this condo. The lanai lends itself to inviting friends over for cocktails and enjoying the gorgeous Hawaiian sunsets or the spectacular view of Molokai. Waking up and going to sleep to the sound of the surf from the Master Bedroom is an experience that is absolutely awesome. The full, unobstructed view of the magnificent ocean can be enjoyed from the living room as well as the Master Bedroom. The kitchen (also with a full ocean view) is very well equipped whether you are preparing a meal or entertaining. Excellent snorkeling is just a few steps from this condo which is located at the famous Airport Beach. We enjoyed the proximity to Whaler's Village and Lahaina. We look forward to staying at this condo on our future trips to the Island of Maui.
