Beachfront paradise! Enjoy whale watching and beautiful sunsets from your lanai and the beautiful beach in front of Kanai A Nalu. Your completely remodeled Maui "home-away-from-home" has all of the comforts you need to make your island vacation unforgettable! Centrally located, this condominium is perfect for couples or families!
Watch the boats as they sail into Maalaea Harbor. Enjoy Maui's #1 tourist attraction-the Maui Ocean Center, shops, and restaurants at the end of the street! This location is a great place for people who like to snorkel, dive, fish, and sail, or for those who like to keep their feet on land while enjoying a fabulous ocean view! Beautiful Sugar Beach stretches to the east for over three miles in front of the 700 acre Kealia Nature Preserve for romantic sunset walks! Even the locals come here for boogie boarding and beginning surfing. For the golf fan, Sandalwood, Waikapu, Maui and Lani and Elleair (Silversword) are all within a few minutes!
The view is better from the top! Our fourth-floor, two-bedroom, two-bath unit has a king-size bed in the master bedroom with attached bath, and two twins that can be made into another king in the second, newly painted, bedroom. The brand new couch is a queen-size sleeper for an additional two guests and has a real 6" innerspring mattress. Click on the link to our owner's website below to view the layout of the condo.
Our lanai has an absolutely spectacular view of the ocean. In the winter months the humpback whales can be seen playing in the warm waters! Year round it's a wonderful place to enjoy your breakfast or simply relax, watching and listening to the sound of the surf! Inside, the condo has been remodeled from floor to ceiling with porcelain tile and wood floors. New cabinets and Corian countertops complete the look in the kitchen with fresh paint, new stove and microwave as well. The bathrooms are a masterpiece in tile. Truly a vacation place to return to!
When you want to get to other parts of the island, the tourist areas of Wailea and Lahaina are only 15 miles away and Kahului and the airport are only 10 minutes down the road.

Why the Owner Chose Maalaea
After visiting Maui for almost 20 years, we finally stayed at Kanai A Nalu and loved it! Easy to get around the island, but secluded and tranquil when we just wanted to stay at the condo-exactly what we were looking for during our times in Maui! The beach is almost always ours with just a few others sharing it and the surf is gentle enough for our little ones to play in and build sandcastles!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Watching the whales breach from the lanai is always a thrill! Breakfast and beverages out there is one of our favorite things to do.

I spent 6 1/2 enjoyable weeks at this wonderful condo. Thanks so much Lynnette and Mike for sharing your home with my guests and me. My daughter and her fiance' were married on the beach at Makena so it was really a time of celebration for us all. The view from the lanai was spectacular and I spent MANY hours sitting there reading and just watching the waves. We loved the grounds and the pool. It was also very comfortable sitting under the tree down by the ocean - again reading and/or meeting new friends. I so hope that I will be able to return at some point and use your condo again. Thanks a million.

Over 40 different VRBO rentals and this was the most dissapointing! Broken closets doors, air conditioner that only worked part time and made horrible noises, TV in masterbedroom did not work, light fixture hanging by a wire. And the worst part was the basic items that were not provided, coffee, filters, sugar, toilet paper (only 2 rolls for 6-8 people 12 days!!!! PLEASE. Small bars of hand soap no shower bars, told there would be makeup remover pads none available, who travels thinking they need to take their own toilet paper and soap even campsites provide these items. We requested a small refund and was told we needed to send receipts! Who would bring those back and why? A true shame because its a great location, with a great view.
Owner response:This is a home and like all others, things do break, but we take all of our guests' conveniences very seriously and do not expect them to experience anything subpar. Any discrepancies at all are rectified immediately. The property is beautiful and the property managers on site react quickly to keep it that way. The closet door and light fixture were fixed the day they checked in and the air conditioner has been serviced. A new TV was installed less than 24 hours after discovery. In addition to several bars of soap, there is liquid soap in both baths and the kitchen and refills under all sinks. Several spare rolls of toilet paper are supplied to get things started. We try to keep coffee and filters in the condo but ask our guests to let us know if they use the last of it. The condo is set up for a maximum of 6 guests. Although we offered reimbursement for the supplies, we could not justify the hundreds of dollars asked for. Our 6 years of vacation ownership in paradise have been very enjoyable for our guests...please feel free to look at our other reviews.

I would highly recommend this rental unit. The description and pictures shown of property are exactly what you will find. We have stayed in Maalaea before and this was by far the cleanest and in the best location. Great view of the ocean, a nice pool and well kept grounds. If you have a small child then there is the extra bonus of a port-a-crib and a booster chair. So thankful we did not have to haul those things on our trip. Boogie boards and sand toys in the closet too. We are planning to return to Maui in a couple of years and will definately stay at this condo again!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo with us for an adventurous week. I never tire of coming to Hawaii! This time I loved seeing the whales and their calves. Our boat captain let us listen to the whales talking and singing which was a very spiritual experience. Even though we had a tsunami warning on Saturday and had to evacuate to higher ground, it turned out to be a positive adventure. It was an opportunity to meet many new people, to see the wonderful hospitality of our hosts and to have a great story to tell friends and family for years to come. Iwas amazed and in awe at how organized the island authorities were in the face of a would-be disaster. Once again there was many, many things we wanted to do and not enough time-which only means we'll definitely be back for more adventures. So, thank you again for the use of your well equipped and lovely home away from home.

Had a great time. Wonderful view from the deck and great every morning to have breakfast on and start the day. It was pretty windy-but that's ok, kept it from being uncomfortable. Plus with the wind you didn't realize you were getting burned. Great location to get to wherever we wanted to go. It's nice and quiet here and not crowded! The beach is great-morning and night walks were awesome. Nice condo-it's nice to have 2 bathrooms so we all could get ready to go out. Thanks!! We'll be back.

We're back! And this time we brought parents! The condo was great...thanks for having a portable crib and high chair for the baby. We saw whales breaching out in the harbor, did some snorkeling and lots of sight seeing. Can't wait to come back! Aloha!

Wonderful vacation with outstanding amenities-great value! We hope to be back again next year with more family. The beds were ooh so comfy and we loved sitting on the Lanai and having coffee and morning breakfast and watching the ocean. The aquarium was awesome! We enjoyed the beaches and beautiful landscapes, resting and relaxing. We loved eating at Beach Bums. The food was excellent, the waitstaff outstanding and friendly and you could sit outside and watch the boats in the harbor and see the ocean. Just down the street from the condo-outstanding!

Nice property. clean and well maintained. The unit was 2 bedroom and well stocked with almost everything you need. The blender was well used and mixed up some of the finest drinks, just perfect while watching the sunset and ending another day in paridise. A rental car is a must...but the local bus system works very well to get to major shopping areas anywhere on the Island and only cost $1.00 each way ! Only concern was the trade winds...and boy do they blow in this area. Some nights the wind was so bad we moved to the sofa bed as the noise in the back bedroom was unreal. We had very poor "wireless" connections and advised the owner...they arranged for us to pickup a new modem which helped somewhat but still had too many disconnects so we hard wired our laptop to the modem and it worked perfectly. Other than that we had a great holiday and the folks that rented the unit out did everything to make sure our holidays worked out really good...thank you. We highly recommend this unit to anyone interested in a place in Maui.

Made our first trip to Maui in September and stayed at this condo on the recommendation of a friend. Our week in Maui lived up to all the positive reviews thanks in large to what this condo had to offer. Clean and modern interior, great view from the lanai, restaraunts within walking distance, located directly on the beach and conveniently positioned to main attractions on the central, western and southern side of the island. All these attributes yet on a quiet dead-end street and sitting directly on Sugar Beach that offers an unexpected sense of privacy. My wife and I have set a goal of returning very soon for reasons noted above. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that we could hear the sound of the waves from the masterbedroom during the night. This is paradise! Winston & Lily

We are heading back to this incredible vacation condo in March (2009)for our second visit. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. This is first class from the owners to the comfort of home away from home. Everything you'd want when experiencing Hawaii. Whale watching, fishing, surfing, resturaunts, beach, etc. We can't wait! :)
