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.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Hi, my name is Diane. After vacationing on all the different islands for the past 19 years, Maui turned out to be my favorite. I had stayed all over the island, but found Maalaea as my favorite location on Maui. It is off the beaten track, away from the traffic and tourist areas that seem to attract crowds. I wanted a more peaceful and quiet spot. I discovered that the beach was the most uncrowded beach on the island. I was also very picky, and felt, if I could not buy an ABSOLUTE BEACH FRONT condo, I would continue looking. When I found this amazing unit, with a double sized lanai, and wall to wall windows in the master....I didn't care what the price was, I had to buy it. Now, I have my dream vacation spot, that I can share with my family and my guests.
Why the Owner Chose Maalaea
Please read what I wrote above. Maalaea is just what I was looking for. It has no crowds, less rain, more sun, cooling winds, and it is quiet. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
The view is the most breathtaking I have every experienced. You walk in, and out to the large lanai, for a 180 degree view of the beach, and Maui's south shore. It is wonderful. I don't see the other condo's, just the sand and waves out front. If you don't believe me, just look at the virtual tour showing the view from the lanai. Then sleeping on a bed where I can adjust my side to be soft and listen to the waves just feet away, is great. Everything I need is at my condo. I have designed it, and stocked it so there is nothing else I need while staying there. It is beautiful and very comfortable.
