The view from this very comfortable condo is spectacular! It is wonderful to sit on the balcony and watch the whales. It would be tough to be any closer to the ocean and we fell asleep every night listening to the waves. We love the Mahana and have visited many times before. The pool and surrounding area has recently been totally redone. The condo was very clean and equiped nicely.

Owner response:Thank you for your nice review.We appreciate your time and we are looking forwart to have you back. Best regirds. Galina & Alex.

We stayed at the Mahana For 10 nights during Christmas Holiday. The Mahana is a wonderful condo with a comfortable Aloha feeling. We loved our studio unit. It was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and we fell asleep listening to the ocean, that is just feet away. The view is absolutely breath taking. The Times grocery store is close, you can walk or drive to some amazing restaurants, and shopping. I can't wait to go back again!!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in Maui. The unit has amazing views of the ocean which were a delight to wake up to every morning. The property description is accurate and there is just about everything that one needs at the property. My wife and I prepared several dinners and were happy with the availability of dishware, etc. The beach itself is picturesque and a walking path steps away provides easy access to the rest of Kaanapali. The owners checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. All in all a great vacation.

This was our third trip to the Hawaii Islands and our first stay at this condo for two glorious weeks from May 7-20, 2011. This was the best vacation we have ever had! We enjoyed the million dollar view from the lanai, with the islands of Lanai on our left, Molokai on our right and the Pacific Ocean at our feet. On the lanai we enjoyed morning coffee and spectacular sunsets. We were able to watch sea turtles, schools of fish and a monk seal swim by in the water below. The condo was comfortable and easy to keep clean. It is well equipped with appliances and kitchen utensils. It was nice to be welcomed with a small bag of coffee in the coffee maker to get us started the next morning. The Mahana is conveniently located near an ABC store, Farmers Market, Fish Market and a very nice Times Super Market which also has a deli and a bakery. No need to fight the crowds at Costco. Within a short stroll to the south is the Hanua Kai Resort with Duke's Restaurant and the Ka'anapali Beach Club with the Ono Grill and Bar to the north. We recommend both places to dine. Other shopping is only a short driving distance. The beach side boardwalk begins at the access gate between the Mahana and the Hanua Kai and runs all the way to the south end of Ka'anapali Beach. The dreamy beach gets sandier and the water calmer as you go south from the Mahana. There is very good snorkeling in front of the Hanua Kai and the Ka'anapali Shores resorts. The only thing we were disappointed with was having to go home. Thank you Alex and Galina for sharing your condo with us. You are right, why would we want to stay anywhere else? We are looking forward to returning!

We stayed in Alex and Galina's condo recently and were more than impressed. Galina made the rental process easy and was there to answer any question I had. The check in was painless and the condo was no only clean but beautiful with a wonderful view. The fully stocked kitchen along with the BBQ's downstairs came in handy especially since there is a grocery store within walking distance. We couldnt have stayed in a nicer, more affordable place in all of beautiful Maui! Thank you Galina and Alex.

My wife and I had not stayed at a studio before but decided to try one. This uiit exceeded our expectations, The layout was comfortable and the ammenities were all we could ask for. The kitchen was well stockked with dishes and utensils, most importantly a spatula for bar'b'.quing. There was a beach mat and ice chest for trips out. The bed was comfortable and there was room for dinning on the patio as well as inside.

My partner and I stayed in this apartment in Feb 2009 for 3 nights and it was the best time of our entire trip! The location cannot be faulted, we literally saw whales calving, breaching etc. The apartment was even better than the pics; clean, neat, tidy, modern and so comfortable. I cannot complement this place enough! Galina was so easy to deal with and the whole transaction was seamless. Would I stay here again? In a heartbeat. Who would I recommend this place to? EVERYONE!

We stayed at this condo at the end of October, and our expectations were more than satisfied. An extremely well kept, uptodate place, with a gorgeous view-yes, just like the picture on the website. We made alot of our meals at home as the kitchen was charming and modern. Awesome, very comfortable big bed, probably the comfiest in my travels over the years. We met several other visitors in the hot tub on different occasions, and having listened to some of their complaints about their lodgings, I felt extremely lucky:) definitely made our trip a big success, and hope to get back again for another visit.

We stayed were thrilled with this condo. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The view is spectacular - we way sea turtles and manta rays from the lanai almost daily. Shopping is a short walk away. Thank you so much.

My husband and I stayed at this great little get-away for a week in August. Was as I had hoped it would be.. It had great views , was very clean, and the resort was low key , which I so appreciate. We had such a good time, I hope to come back next year. Thanks for sharing this little piece of paradise ! So happy we found it . Mark and Kathy
