ASK ABOUT LAST MINUTE SPECIALS. Most people picture in their minds their “Dream” Vacation condo. It would be right on a sandy beach with spectacular views and magnificent sunrises and sunsets. They could swim right in front, or take a walk on miles of pristine, un-crowded beach. My 1,050 sq. ft. Direct Beachfront, Ground Floor, Corner Condo could be what you're dreaming of. With so many to choose from, this is my chance to tell you what I think sets mine apart from the others.

To view my NEW 360-DEGREE "High Definition" VIRTUAL TOUR, showing the interior, the beach out front and the pool, go down page to the link just below the Availability Calendar.

Not many condos are this close to a sandy beach, where you can swim or snorkel, right in front. And you can watch the Whales from the the lanai. When you walk in and see the view of the ocean from the living room, you will be delighted. When you go outside, the spectacular 180-degree views of Maui's entire south coast will take your breath away. Every morning, you can watch the sun come up over Haleakala. It is truly, an indescribable experience.

Our complex, is one of three in Maalaea that are right on the beach. The other seven are on rocky reefs with no swimming. Many have distant parking lots, and half have coin $$ operated laundry rooms. Two are next to the busy Maalaea Harbor, with its traffic, boat engine noise and fumes.

The Kanai A Nalu has been rated the best vacation property in Maalaea. Just past our building the street "Dead ends", so there is very little traffic. Free parking is provided just steps from the condo. Being on the ground floor, there are no stairs or elevators to deal with. We have our own in-unit washer/dryer. Our pool is one of the few heated in winter. A little ways past our complex the beach runs parallel to a Government Protected Wildlife Refuge. Endangered sea turtles lay their eggs here, so no development is allowed along this beach. It runs for miles, all the way to Kihei. On a morning walk, you may not run into another person. It is the most un-crowded beach on Maui. It's like your own private paradise.

Our Corner Condo is nothing like the "interior" units that share two common walls. They have only one window in their master, and their second bedroom window opens to a busy walkway or parking lot, allowing strangers to look in. Our Corner Condo has NO NEIGHBORS ON ONE SIDE. It is quieter, more private and has incredible views of the beach from the front corner, master bedroom's wall-to-wall windows. Our second bedroom has views of the ocean, the tropical grounds and the pool.

Many condos have an upstairs "loft" bedroom that is completely open to the living room and only closes with a flimsy folding wall. These offer almost no privacy or insulation from the noise of other guests. Our bedrooms are “traditional” rooms with solid walls and locking doors. In the master is a $2,600 "Sleep Numbers" King bed. Each side can be individually set to the desired firmness or softness of each guest. Two twin beds (with newer pillow top mattresses) in the second bedroom can be pushed together to create another king size bed. Both bedrooms have newer ceiling fans and Cable TV. There is a queen sleeper sofa with a newer mattress in the living room. We also have a portable crib. The condo comfortable sleeps six adults.

Also redecorated, the master bath has an over sized (wheelchair accessible)tiled shower. It has both a hand held and wall mounted shower head. In the bathrooms we added a newer ceiling fans, rugs, towels, designer molding around the mirrors and new accessories. The other bathroom has a full size tub, sliding doors and a shower above. Both have wall mounted hair dryers.

Due to the previous owner being in a wheelchair, the doorways and master shower are wider than normal. Also, the lanai is twice the size of the others. He was given permission to enlarge it, to accommodate his wheelchair, plus have room for tables and chairs. It extends beyond the normal lanais, increasing our views even further. It has two tables and six chairs instead of the normal four. With a larger group, everyone can be together.

In 2008 in the kitchen we added beautiful new countertops, new electric burners, a new toaster oven, new dishtowels and accessories and a custom, bamboo bar front. In the master bedroom we installed a new ceiling fan (the condo has six total), a luxurious new king comforter and 300 ct. sheets, a DVD player, and a safe for your valuables (in master closet). In the second bedroom we installed a new ceiling fan and new pillow top mattresses on the twin beds. For all the beds, we bought new pillows, and sheets. In the living room we added beautiful new plants and designer wall pieces, and repainted. For the family we bought new games, sand toys, DVD’s and VHS movies, boogie boards, beach towels, mats and beach chairs. I also installed a safe for your valuables.

    • Everything was fanatastic! The condo is very wheelchair accessible and made the stay for my husband who is a paraplegic very comfortable. The view, beach, pool and condo decor is Maui at its best. When we return to Maui, there is only one place that we will stay, Diane's condo! Thank you for all your attention to detail and clear communication! We'll be back Sara, Ted, Gus, Joy and Bill

    • Your condo was perfection on the beach! Rum-laced smoothies on the lanai watching whales didn't hurt either, and we absolutely miss the sound of waves crashing against the shore putting us to sleep each night. Dinner at the Waterfront Rest. was superb, and the new BBQs/grill were great for whipping up a meal. We never turned the air conditioner on as the natural air-flow with the open screen front door sufficed. Your hard work has paid off. Thanks for a great 3-week stay.

    • Hi Diane. My families stay at your condo June 16 - 26 2007 was awesome. It was great to show up and see that the condo and location was just as you described it. It was beautiful and comfortable. Eating our meals together on the lanai with the beautiful ocean view was great. I will definitely keep you in our address book for our return trip to Maui and recommend your condo to everyone. Thanks for being such a helpful host.

    • Diane, my family and I had the best vacation we will always remember. I will miss the morning walks on the beach, coffee/drinks at the lanai while watching the ocean and the peaceful relaxing atmosphere. We really enjoyed your condo and you thought of everything we needed. We will definitely think of you when we go back to Maui.

    • July 5, 2007 Dear Diane, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I sure wish we were back in Maui, and especially your condo. Things are not as hectic there as it is here. I definitely need the beach to relax. We loved your beautiful condo! It was in a great location, and loved the beach just outside the patio door. It was so wonderful just walking outside the door and sitting next to the beach and watching the surf come in. It was so much more convenient than any of the neighbors in which folks had to walk down stairs and out to the beach. It was so relaxing. I so wish I could afford one just like yours. We found that your condo was extremely well equipped with everything that we could ever need. It was just like home. In fact, it was better than home. It was in Hawaii. I don’t think there is much more for you to upgrade. It is perfect just the way it is. Also, there were so many attractions and sites located just minutes away. We greatly appreciated the information and the directions you provided us. There was so much to do, and there was so much more I would have liked to do, but it was the best just sitting outside the condo door watching the surf and relaxing. We also appreciated the attention and consideration you awarded us. It was really nice talking to you. I wish I could have done more for you. We would definitely love to return again some time without the kids. The wedding was great but stressful. If we return we would love to stay in your condo, even if there are only two of us. It was perfect. Again, thank you so very much. Jim & Marlene Polifka LaVista, NE PS: I did learn to say the state fish; humuhumunukunukuapuaa

    • Thanks for the great place to stay on Maui. The beach was great. Pool was fantastic. Nice quiet place to relax. We had an extra guest in the master bedroom, a baby gecko, about an inch long. It was so cute! We woke up to his chirp every morning. Would love to come back next year. Thanks again! Great Condo! Carol

    • What a wonderful place. This was our third trip to Maui and our second to Maalaea Bay. We enjoyed this trip the most. This condo #117 has it all! Perfect location, spectacular views, very well appointed with easy access to the beach, pool and BBQ's. The whales were very active and we spent many hours on the lanai enjoying them. It was truly a pleasure dealing with Diane. One person in our group of four requires a "scooter". There was lots of room and the handicap accessibility helped immensely.

    • I totally recommend Unit# 117 for you next Maui Vacation resort. It has all of the amenties one could ask for. We found out while visiting that December through February is Humpback whale season and what a pleasure it is to be at the Lanai and see the Mama Whale and her baby flopping around. Its such a peaceful feeling. We just love Maui. This was our second visit however we didn't have the pleasure of staying in this unit the first time. Mahola Diane and family for your great hospitality. We'll be back I'm sure. Until next time.... MAHOLA Again! Regards, Sandy and Dave Fitch

    • I love this condo ! I have stayed in other units in the complex on other occasions but this was definitely the best ! It is literally steps from the pool and the most private beach on the island. The unit itself has absolutely everything we needed and Diane was fabulous to work with. She was very attentive to our needs and I have already scheduled my next trip back ! A number of people I talked with during my visit wanted information on this particular condo, they all thought it was the best location of all. Restaurant Tip: If you love sushi, Sansai in Kihei is a must. What a treat to find it so conveniently located and so much fun. Go early 4:30, they open at 5, the lines are long otherwise, sit at the sushi bar and watch the show while they prepare…… I think between 5 and 6 it’s half off everything! Mama’s Fish House is on my list for next time ! Thank you Diane for taking such good care of your property and your visitors ! You rate 5 stars !
