Christmas Cancellation! Direct Oceanfront Studio! Mahana 602

Our unit at Mahana had been updated and did not look like the pictures on VRBO. New tile, matching appliances and cabinets had been installed. There was a grocery very close by and a nice boardwalk along the ocean. The walk to Dukes restaurant on the boardwalk was convenient. Mahana is a quiet place and just lovely. We would definitely stay at Mahana again. The views from our lanai were spectacular. Definitely the place to stay if you want to be right on the ocean. And what a treat to see a turtle taking a rest on the beach. The people at Maui Properties were easy to work with and checked with us to make sure our visit was going well.

The room looked very nice and looked recently renovated. However, there did not appear to be a final walk through before we arrived. I say that because there were numerous small issues during our stay, such as: the power to the oven was turned off, packing materials were still attached to the inside & outside of the oven, the hot water to the sink was turned off below the sink, the shower drain was clogged by a blue latex glove stuck in the drain, the air conditioner stopped working the second night (it was working again 2 days later)and the floors throughout the room were FILTHY.

The managers were quick to respond to our calls/texts but if there had been a proper walk through and cleaning, none of those calls/texts would have been necessary.

Hopefully the next time a room is updated, the management will make sure the room is ready to be occupied before the guests arrive.

This property exceeded our expectations. It was so comfy, plenty of room, our bed was massive. It was very clean and tidy, and a fantastic view! The location is perfect. It's just a short walk or drive to a big super market, many restaurants and stores. We hired a car and parking was included. Couldn't ask for more, great value for money.

The view from your room is fabulous! And you are right on the beach! There is a beachwalk that takes you all the way to Black Rock and beyond to the south end of Ka'anapali. Or you can just walk along the sandy shore if you prefer. Duke's Restaurant is almost next door and has a wonderful dinner menu (best calamari appetizer but make reservations for dinner). Grocery store is a block away. Lounge chairs are plentiful. Pool is smaller but was never really crowded. Unfortunately, the little coffee/tea snack shack shown in the photos is closed down. Plenty of free parking and a huge collection of pocketbooks you can borrow to read (located towards the elevators in the Lanai'i Tower). Friendly, helpful staff.

The well appointed rental was quite comfortable and close to many interesting sites. We appreciated the lovely porch for watching turtles and waves. Directions from the management company were well-written and easy to follow. Leo handled all of our request and was extremely flexible when our plans changed. If our travel ever brings us back to Maui we will most definitely be working with Leo and MPP. Thank you for a stress free stay!
