About this property

Crew Rest Maui - 2BR/2BA, Remodeled, Oceanfront, Superior Views, AC throughout!

WILDFIRE UPDATE: Our condo is located in south Maui, in the village of Maalaea. West Maui is currently closed off due to recent wildfires, but other parts of the island are still open. Our property and the surrounding area are safe. Local officials including Maui's mayor and police chief have reiterated that Maui is not closed - only west Maui. They also emphasized how the majority of Maui's residents rely on tourism dollars, and they simply asked that visitors are respectful and don't attempt to visit the affected areas.

Crew Rest Maui is a hidden gem at the north end of Ma'alaea Bay in South Maui. Our privately owned two bedroom, two bathroom beachfront 'home away from home' is a corner unit on the second floor of a four-story building directly at the water's edge. Our private lanai is directly oceanfront and looks across to neighboring Islands, the world-famous Molokini crater, and 10,000 foot Haleakala. It provides the perfect place to relax, watch the waves, and even see humpback whales during whale season.

There are HUGE benefits to a corner unit on the second floor, and it's important to understand why the location of the unit in the complex makes such a huge difference.
Corner units offer: the added security of not being at ground level, the privacy of having bedroom windows looking out on the beautiful courtyard, pool and ocean instead of sidewalk and parking lot and the absence of foot traffic past your private lanai. (Before booking in Kanai a Nalu, understand that the guest bedrooms of non-corner units look out onto the parking lot. Our guest bedroom has a FULL view of the ocean and pool area.)

The master bedroom has a comfortable California King-size bed with a private bathroom and wall-to-wall windows with panoramic views of the beach, gardens, and pool/BBQ area. A second full bathroom with shower/tub combo is across a small alcove from the second bedroom, which has a queen bed. (Our condo sleeps a maximum of 4 adults, or 5 guests total for families with children.)

We have gone above and beyond to provide you the little touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible and make Crew Rest Maui feel like your home away from home. You'll enjoy updated decor, ceiling fans throughout, and A/C in every single room. There are plenty of plush beach towels, some dish/laundry soap to get you started, beach toys and boogie boards, liquid hand soap in the bathrooms, velvet non-slip hangers, Keurig coffee maker, keyless entry keypad, secure WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you'll need. The living room features a smart, flat screen, wall-mounted TV with cable. Both bedrooms feature wall-mounted smart TVs with cable access as well as the ability to login to your favorite streaming service.

The private lanai is one of the best features of our unit. Again, it is DIRECTLY on the water, and not all units in the complex have such an amazing location and views. The lanai is a perfect place for reading, eating, whale watching or just plain relaxing to the sound of the gentle surf. You'll enjoy watching sea turtles (and whales during whale season) directly offshore from the lanai.

Just down the street from the condo, you'll find the core of Maalaea and the harbor area. This adorable seaside village offers a wide variety of activities such as snorkeling excursions and sunset cruises, shopping, delicious dining options, mini golf, an aquarium, and the Pacific Whale Foundation.

The central location of Crew Rest Maui is ideal for exploring all of Maui. You're just 15 minutes from the airport, 25 minutes from the North Shore, 10 minutes from Kihei, 20 minutes from Lahaina, and 5 miles or less from several golf course options.

Our favorite aspect of the Kanai a Nalu complex is the quiet, laid back feel. If you like the hustle and bustle of crowded resorts where you sleep in a cramped hotel room and share a beach and pool with hundreds of people while enjoying a $15 cocktail, this is not the place for you. Crew Rest Maui offers the ultimate in beachfront relaxation. Our spacious condo, uncrowded beach and pool, and quiet, low-key ambience provide the most relaxing vacation experience available on Maui.

Amazing location
The location was perfect. Its some of the best weather you usually avoid rain. Watched Whales, and Turtles from the Lanai. Haycraft Park is a gem on the end of a long beach. Snorkeled with Turtles and saw many fish.

Great whale watching location
Condo was right on the water between the marina and the beaches at Kihei. Great view and nice breeze. The condo had air conditioning but we didn’t need it. If we return to Maui in the future we will definitely try to stay in this condo again. Oh I forgot to mention whale activity can be spotted anytime in daylight hours. Great experience.

Perfect location
Perfect location for the close beach access, sunrise off balcony over the ocean with mountain view. We were also fortunate to see whales and turtles swimming near by. Less busy area, but 4 miles from Kihea. Would come here again.

Family Vacation
Perfect place. Quiet neighborhood. Beach within walking distance. Fully equipped with everything you need for the beach. Loved the fact that beach chairs and boogie boards were there. Rooms were super. Right on the ocean. Kids loved the pool. Washer and dryer right in the condo was great to have. Also, private parking was also a plus.

Crew Rest Maui
Crew Rest Maui was a great location. The 2 bedroom/2 bath unit worked well for our family. The lanai was enjoyed morning, noon, and night. Listening to the waves of the Pacific crashing on shore, and seeing whales surfacing was a treat. We had a good time.

About the host

Hosted by Mike & Stephanie Jeffers

Host profile image
We are Mike and Stephanie Jeffers, and we live in Carefree, AZ with our 2 teenage daughters. When we first visited Maui together in 2010, we fell in love with Maalaea Bay and hatched a dream of owning a place there one day. After years of research, hard work, and planning, we were finally able to turn this dream into a reality in October 2018 when we purchased this amazing property.

Our condo's name, Crew Rest Maui, comes from our family’s deep history in the world of aviation. Mike is a pilot, both in the Air National Guard and for Southwest Airlines, and several generations before him were aviators as well. The term “crew rest” refers to the appropriate downtime and rest required for a pilot to fly safely, and we like to think that our condo and this beautiful location on Maui provide that kind of relaxation and rejuvenation to everyone who stays here.

Why they chose this property

Crew Rest Maui is a dream come true for us, and we treat it as a true labor of love. When you visit, you will see and feel the level of quality and comfort we strive to deliver to our guests. We have invested in new furniture, decor, household goods, and thoughtful details to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. We've been staying in VRBO properties for years, and we understand the little touches that mean so much to guests. We've worked hard to incorporate those things into our unit to provide a superior vacation experience!

What makes this property unique

Our unit is VERY unique because of its location within the Kanai a Nalu complex. Our unit is one of the few corner units, which provide unique features that other units cannot offer.

1: Our unit only has one shared wall, and BOTH of our bedrooms have ocean views. Be aware that the windows in the second bedrooms of most of the units in KAN face the parking lot.

2: Our unit is located at the end of a hall which is actually a very big deal. In Maalaea, you will enjoy leaving the front and back doors open to let the tradewinds blow through the unit thanks to the screen doors. But in most units, there's constant traffic in front of your door, with people peeping in. Our unit is at the end of the hall, meaning there's no foot traffic in front of your door.

3: Our unit features unobstructed ocean views from the entire kitchen and living area. Depending on location, many units in the complex face towards the pool area or even other buildings. Look through our photos and you'll realize we have a superior view. You can literally see Molokini from the sofa and watch boogie boarders or whales while you load the dishwasher. You're traveling to Maui, so get the best view possible!
