Wonderful week at this Maalaea unit. Enjoyed watching the turtles every evening while barbequing on the beautiful grounds. Loved that the unit is centrally located for our various day trips around the island. Walking distance to harbor, aquarium, miniature golf, and a few restaurants, yet still the feel of paradise. Beaches and grounds are not too overcrowded. Looking forward to booking our next stay.

Owner response:Thank you for staying with us and your review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return. Mary

If you're looking for an owner who's quick to reply to your inquiry, send additional photos, answer your questions, or address your rental needs then you need look no further. Mary is all that and more. She was the only owner willing to work with our budget and adjust her rental rate for our extended stay. If we ever get the chance to return to Maui we'll be sure to stay here! Thanks again Mary for your kindness!!

Owner response:Thank you so much.

Awsome condo

Aloha, Just want to say our condo was very comfortable. Mary replyed to ALL of our e-mails very quickly. She has the place furnished with eveything you can think of. Loved the way it's decorated all the way down to the dolfin plates. Enough plates and silverware to wait for a full load to run the dishwasher. I was surprised to find there was even dish soap. Two seperate bathrooms made it REAL nice. Didn't have to share the bathroom with my daughters shampoos,,lol. There are ceiling fans in every room and two in the livingroom.Never ran the airconditioner. There was plenty of room for all four of us. We didnt get in each others way even after a week. lol. The ocean sang us to sleep everynight. The boogie boards that were in the closet came in handy also. The location is perfect right in the middle of eveything, yet remote.Walked to the harbor and went Whale watching. The whales got so close we had to shut down the engines on the boat so we woudnt harm them with the prop. I recommend "Boss Frogs" for all your activities.We look foreward to staying here again. Thank You Mary !! We'll be contracting you again in about 11 months. Jack and Diane

Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and loved my home away from home. The whale watching this year is great there. Thanks again for your stay. Mary

While staying at the condo I was able to enjoy the beachfront pool and the beach itself. The view from the balcony was beautiful and the condo itself is in a great location. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was spacey enough to make a big meal. Overall it was very clean and there is also a new refrigerator. While I was there we mainly made dinner but we also went to a near by Mexican restaurant and the city of Lahaina for dinner. The customer service was very prompt and reliable. I would definitely recommend this location to a friend or to family. I am excited to go back as soon as possible!

Owner response:Thank you for your review and stay. Im glad you enjoyed. I hope you get to come back soon. Mary

Our Family Loved it!

Kanai A Nalu was great!! Thanks Mary for making the stay easy and comfortable. Our family had such a great time playing in the heated pool, boogie boarding on the sandy beach that is easily accessible from the condo and soaking up the view. The complex is so well maintained, clean and quiet. Loved waking up to sounds of the surf, walking barefoot out the condo and being on the great Sugar Beach within 1 min. You'd pay up to 3 times as much for the same view and access on other areas of the island. The location was central and within easy driving distance to other parts of the island. The unit is clean and had everything we needed. Thanks again---we'd love to come back! The Torian family

Owner response:Thank you so much. We try hard to keep things nice for our visitors and ourselves when we are there. I fell in love with the area the first time I stayed here. I use to stay in Kaanapali but it was way to busy for me. Thanks again. Im glad you loved it. Cant wait to do business again.

I have been to Maui many times and truly enjoyed my stay at this condo..I love its central location, smack dap in the middle of the beautiful harbor only minutes away from the most popular places on the island, but out of the way enough to have some quiet time......the pool is great...love the bbq, especially after visiting the local markets for the food!! This place has it all..it is stocked up with everything you need! Thanks for the fantastic time! I will definitly be back soon!!!

Owner response:Im so glad you and your family enjoyed it again. Thanks again for booking. Looking forward to assisting you again in the future.

Wonderful Retreat

I spent 2 weeks here in Jan. 2010 with my brother. We were totally relaxed and at home immediately. The description is right on, and the location is really great, centrally located on Maui. The condo and property were very clean and well maintained. Lots of plants, tall beautiful palms and georgous flowers make the surroundings very tropical and serene. I really enjoyed working the Mary, the owner, she answered all my questions prompty and was a pleasure to work with. There are no surprises here, other than it is nicer than the photos. We cooked most all of our meals here and enjoyed eating them on the lanai, where we started and ended our day. We were here during whale season, and saw so many whales, just from our lanai and the beach. The whales come into this bay to give birth and the activity is outstanding. You did not need binoculars to see them. It was great being so close to Maalaea Harbor, we could walk down there to book our whale watch, and they have many other trips to sign up for there. Also, nice shopping and restaurants, and just a neat place to walk around and look at the boats. The beach here is great, it goes on for about 4 miles towards Kihei, and is mostly empty. Its wonderful for walking and laying in the sun. I also enjoyed being able to see Haleakala, Molokini and Kahoolowe from the property and beach. This is such a great place to stay, I recommend it.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and looking forward to your next visit. Mahalo, Mary

PERFECT PLACE TO STAY!

This condo is centrally located on Maui. Perfect to explore the island! The area where the condo is, is nice and quiet. The view from the lanai is outstanding, especially during whale season. Booking a whale watch, fishing, sunset cruise or many other activiities, is a nice 15 minute walk or very short drive away at Maalaea Harbor. The descriiption of the condo is accurate and working directly with the owner Mary, is a real pleasure. She is always available to answer any questions you might have. A 4 mile long beach starts right next door. This beach goes all the way to Kihei and is never crowded. The kitchen is very well stocked and we ate all our meals on the lanai. Eating out on Maui can get very pricey and having the full kitchen is great. Also, having the washer and dryer in the condo, is really handy, you don't have to take as many clothes. Whether you are here for a short stay or longer stay, this condo is just like home, but probably with a much better view. Stay here, you will not be disappointed.

Owner response:I am so glad you loved it and keep calling back for more. I am always here if you need anything. Thanks again. Mary

I have stand in both of your units now and totally love both. The area is very nice. Away from the busy tourist traffic when you get home so you can relax in peace but just minutes from it when you want to play. The units are beautiful,well decorated and confortable. I cant wait to get back.

Mary, just wanted to let you know we had an awesome time at your condo; it was truly paradise! The condo was very comfortable, clean, and what an amazing view. Being able to walk out of the condo and be on the beach within a minute was wonderful. We hope to come back soon, very soon.
