About this property

Direct Oceanfront - Intimate, Contemporary Studio Condo

ALOHA and thank you for considering our home for your Maui vacation! Each year we assess and make improvements to our home-away-from-home so our stay and yours are comfortable and enjoyable.

Just 10 feet from the ocean and located on the second floor, you will not be disappointed! Upon entering the condo, you will be drawn immediately to our spacious lanai (balcony). The panoramic views of Moloka'i, Lana'i and the ocean are amazing! The sandy beach in Kahana, which is dependent on the ocean currents, is directly adjacent to the condo and provides excellent swimming and snorkeling.

Once you're able to pull yourself from the outside view (and the turtles that feed directly below our condo), the interior is also warm and inviting. The calm, modern setting is perfect for curling up on the couch in the cozy, living area. Relax while reading a book, catching up on the latest news or spending a romantic evening watching the sun go down.

When it's time to go to sleep, the comfortable king-size bed is not far away. Open all the windows to allow the sound of the ocean waves and breezes lull you to sleep. When you awaken feeling rested and refreshed, the ocean will be the first thing you see in the morning.

Our fully-equipped, modern kitchen and bathroom with full tub and shower have all the conveniences of home. The thought of staying in a hotel will become a thing of the past.

Pohailani is located in quiet Kahana, nestled between the bustling resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua. Within walking distance, you will find several restaurants and shopping. If you prefer other options, you're only a short drive to Kapalua, Napili, and Ka'anapali. Famous beaches, world-class golf courses, Whaler's Village, a farmers' market, grocery stores and other amenities are just minutes away.

We hope you will love our home as much as we do and come back year after year! Mahalo!!

We went to Maui at this time to see whales and were amazed at how many we saw from the lanai. One morning we counted 15, all showing off. The view of the ocean literally ocean front. We could look directly down from the lanai to watch turtles. Needless to say the sunsets were spectacular! The condo is cozy and very nicely appointed.

My husband & I enjoyed our stay at this condo. The amazing view of the ocean, hearing the ocean waves, watching the sunset & watching the turtles eating daily from the Lanai was pretty awesome. The host was very easy to communicate with. The condo is a little small & dated but clean/comfortable. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Perfect honeymoon getaway

The condo was perfect for my husband and i for our honeymoon. You can not ask for a better location. Its right on the ocean with perfect sunset views. Lots of sea turtles and beaches in both directions. More cozy and private then the big resorts on either side as well.

This cute space salvaged what was otherwise a rough trip. It had a beautiful view at all times of day and night - we enjoyed watching the whales play in the horizon every morning. Several beaches close by were nice for relaxing during downtime.

About the host

Hosted by Joe & Naomi

Host profile image
We fell in love with Maui when we spent our honeymoon here and have returned to Hawaii almost every year since then. We have vacationed on other islands but Maui was always our favorite. Our dream was to someday own a 'little piece of paradise' on Maui and finally, We have achieved that dream! We have renovated our condo to feel as warm and welcoming as our own home and we are very excited to be able to share our condo with you!

Why they chose this property

We had to have a place where the view was oceanfront - no exceptions! Kahana was the perfect location for us because it is between the resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua (we love to golf) and a 15-minute drive to Lahaina. In Kahana, you are able to enjoy the relaxed pace of island living without sacrificing conveniences.

What makes this property unique

You get to experience some of the most incredible things Maui has to offer without leaving your room - unobstructed views of Moloka'i & Lana'i, picturesque sunsets, turtle watching from the lanai, whale watching in the winter, the sound of the ocean, the breeze on your face, and an overall feeling of serenity every day! We are also one of the few units in our complex, on the ocean, that has a washer and dryer in our condo!!
