Breathtaking Views-Oceanfront Unit In North Kaanapali -Mahana #414

We had a snafu with a different reservation and had to find last minute accommodations for the week of Thanksgiving.

Here are my thoughts on this condo.

Miranda- very nice and responsive.

Location is amazing. Those floor to ceiling windows- all you see is ocean. Spectacular.

Area is perfect. Lots of free parking. Kaanapali Beach is steps away and you can walk for 1 1/2 miles. Lots of snorkeling and paddelboarding along the way. Restaurants too. Everyone is mellow, enjoying the sun. If you don’t want to walk on the beach you can hop up on the boardwalk

Amenities. Condo was equipped with everything you need including beach towels, lawn chairs and some snorkeling equipment, There was a nice gift basket waiting for us when we arrived. It was very clean. The wireless is not a secured network.

Misc. The main issue I had with this condo is that it’s decor is just a little blah. The sheets and towels were a bit worn. The furniture on the Lanai very basic. It could be spruced up a little. On the other hand the price was very reasonable.

My husband loved it. It is really quiet and the sunsets can't be beat.

With wall to ceiling views of the ocean and a big lanai, this place couldn’t be better placed. Updated kitchen and bathroom. Spacious living and dining rooms. Comfy bed. Lots of chaises by the pool and facing the ocean. Not crowded (we travelled in late September.) Walking distance to a few big resorts with their amenities, snorkel bob’s, grocery store, food trucks, and Slappy Cakes where they serve the most delicious Hawaiian pancakes...this was a perfect spot for our week of doing absolutely nothing on Maui!

Also appreciated a code on the door so no key to remember or worry about on the beach.

The beach directly in front of the building is pretty eroded, but one minute walk to a suitable beach and 5-10 minute walk to great beach and good snorkeling!

Really nice quite place to stay. Simple and clean resort. Easy parking for guests. Across from supermarket to get food supplies for long stays.

Beautiful views from balcony and or just strolling the coast line.

This is our 2nd stay at this condo and it has many pro's and con's. Let me start with pro's...wonderful location if u want the West Maui area. The beach in front of condo is small but right next door starts one of the best beaches on Maui. The complex is on the boardwalk which extends about a mile down beach and ends up close the Whalers Village area which includes shopping and restaurants. The unit itself has floor to ceiling windows which allow wonderful light and the sound of the waves and whale watching which can not be beat. That being said, the unit itself is in high need of a remodel. The carpet in the bedroom is beat up and our feet were dirty after walking on it. The furniture is old and needs replacing. The kitchen lacked the basics like a pizza pan, or even a pizza cutter. There are no baking type dishes. The hair dryer on wall did not work and I found out on day we were leaving that there was a 2nd one that I had not discovered. It rained a lot during our stay and we had water come in through the front window. I followed up with Miranda the manager and she is wonderful to work with. So helpful and responsive.

I told her I would not be able to return to this unit without some changes and she assured me that furniture is being changed along with a few other things. I will be watching to see what changes are made before rebooking this unit. I hope it happens as we love the complex and all the surrounding area has to offer.

We truly enjoyed our stay here during Christmas 2017. The view from the property is breathtaking. Very clean and neat property. We appreciated the tasteful minimal decorations: The style is Hawaiian but subtle. Not the newest appliances or furniture, but not the oldest either. Very reasonable and all very clean! Perfectly doable for our family of 3. Our teenage son slept on the pullout bed with no problems. Bedroom bed was fine: Not too hard or soft for us. Location was excellent: right at end of Ka’anapali beach boardwalk and a very short drive to several excellent beaches in West Maui. No real beach at this property for tanning or swimming. But who cares? There are world class beaches a few minutes walk or drive away! And the quiet of the place cannot be overstated. We almost never heard anyone else here. So relaxing!! Finally, parking was very easy and free. And the whole lot is shaded by huge trees so your car interior isn’t as hot as a toaster oven when you’re ready to drive somewhere. Thank you, Miranda!
