About this property

Direct Ocean Front, 1bd/1BA Condo in Kahana Maui - Awesome Views!

Come visit our large corner oceanfront condo with fantastic views of Molokai and Lanai. You can watch spectacular sunsets and enjoy whale watching from your private lanai. Conveniently located between Kaanapali and Kapalua, the condo is ideal for celebrating that special occasion and all that Maui has to offer.

Unit has been updated with new ceiling fan, new refrigerator, new range, new dishwasher, new carpet, new blackout curtains in the bedroom and main room, and a new couch, also the bathroom has been updated with a new bathtub and bath and shower fixtures. Both elevators, one close to our unit, have just been completely refurbished and made very quiet, so either one will quickly bring you up to the third floor!

We have a large bedroom with a king-sized bed and the kitchen is completely equipped. The new couch is queen-sized sleeper sofa. The condo includes beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, cable TV, WiFi, and Bluetooth CD player. The unit is an end unit which provides 50 more square feet than the non-end units.

Kahana Reef is located near some of the best beaches in world, and less than 10 minutes away from award winning golf courses like Kapalua and Kaanapali. There are many great restaurants and shopping nearby, and it's only a few miles to Kaanapali, Napili or Kapalua.

Note that bikes, surfboards, paddle-boards, kayaks are not allowed in the unit under any circumstances. There is a bike rack and board rack at the north end of the property and you can lock your bike/board to the rack during your stay. Please observe no shoes/sandals rule while inside condo, and please leave the window louvers open to the patio.

We apologize, the unit is not currently ADA equipped.

Lovely ocean front condo
The Kahana Reef property is well taken care of boasting beautiful plants and flowers. It is equipped with laundry facilities that can be paid for with quarters or through an app. There is an ocean wall where turtles gather to eat the grasses growing. It was a great experience watching them. The condo itself was adequate. It is old and shows signs of wear and tear. The view of the ocean is obscured by two palm trees leaving about 50% of the view available. The location is great, and the owners are kind and available.

AWESOME STAY
this was not our first stay here we love it here and will be returning. We love Maui and this place makes it even more enjoyable with its spectacular views and the sound of the waves. The sunsets are so beautiful if you come during whale season you will get tired of shouting Whale lol I hope you all enjoy it as much as us and the owners are very nice and accommodating people you won’t be dissappointed. Mahalo for sharing your paradise with us ❤️

The apartment is average with all your basic needs. It's not fancy. But, you won't care! It has everything you need and thoughtful items like beach chairs and extra pillows. It's all about the VIEW. The pictures do this view no justice. From your balcony, there is nothing but ocean in front of you far as you can see. You have to make an effort to see the other properties around you. The only thing blocking a tiny part of your view is a beautiful palm tree blowing in the breeze. You can't be mad at that. Walk down the stairs and the water is at your feet. There are a few other visitors hanging out, some cooking, some at the pool. But, there aren't many people because the property is private. This was a good value for the money and a great stay for a couple. I'm so happy we were here. We left Maui the day before the fires started. So, hopefully, everything here is still beautiful.

Fantastic views and location
This is a perfect 1 bedroom apartment with an amazing view and so close to the water. When you're sitting at the lanai you feel that you're at the water. Turtles came to the seawall every evening. You're minutes away from Napili, Lahaina and all the great beaches in the area. Highly recommend it. We will be back.

Amazing view
The place has an AMAZING view. We enjoyed sunsets on the patio several days. A few minor issues: The main issue was there is no AC and it gets hot. The other main issues was the checkout process which was too involved for a large cleaning fee, including taking out the trash to the dumpsters. There were also a lot of small ants present. Lastly, only 2 bath + 2 beach towels were provided and there is no onsite laundry machines. I'd recommend providing more towels, stocking up the pantry with more species, and having more beach equipment like snorkels and fins for guests to use.

I can only imagine what views this place has during whale season, but my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay right on the water. The sunsets were outstanding and well worth having dinner on the lanai. We definitely want to return!

Quiet, good ocean view
Kahana Reef is a no-frills low-key affordable oceanfront condo. This condo was on the third floor, conveniently close to the one working elevator. The ocean view was just as shown by the photos. A good place to relax and enjoy the waves. A couple of points: 1. The unit does not have its own washer and drier. Instead there is a laundromat on site which takes quarters. There is also an app you can download to pay for the loads with a credit card. 2. The unit, like a lot of places in Hawaii, does not have AC. When we were there in May, there were sufficient breezes to keep the unit comfortable most of the time. That may be more of a challenge later in the summer.

All about that view!
If you want that spectacular ocean water view from your condo living room and balcony this has it! Third of four floors, easy free on site parking with elevator, quiet complex a couple miles outside of the main noisy drag but not too far. Condo is a standard one bedroom with a big bed, pullout sofa in living area, standard kitchen and bathroom that you’d expect in a beach area condo. Kitchen has a few extras like toaster and blender and coffee maker which we used. Short walk to beach access. We would definitely stay again and recommend and wished we could stay longer this time.

Fantastic ocean view condo
We loved everything about this place. Great location, lanai, walkable general store and gym, easy zip up or down the coat to iconic locations. A little warm but if you keep windows and sliding door to lanai open it feels good. People do talk loudly outside the bedroom starting around 7 am but that’s unavoidable and only happened a few of the mornings. Amazing value, would absolutely stay again! Thanks again to the hosts!

Front row seats to an amazing sunset every night!
This condo has front row seats to an amazing sunset every night! It was so relaxing to watch with a glass of wine or favorite drink on the lanai. There are two palm trees in view but that only added to the Hawaiian paradise vibe. The condo was clean, very comfortable, and well-equipped. The ceiling fans and cross ventilation island breeze kept us quite comfortable without the need of A/C. The two beaches to the right were convenient for swimming, laying out, and relaxing. We saw many turtles every day on the reef in front and at the beach next door. It's only a short drive to Kahekili Beach park (w/free parking & facilities) to snorkel and swim in the clearest water in West Maui. We enjoyed our stay at Kahana Reef #309 and would book it again!

Best vacation ever
To arrive in Maui and find that million-dollar view was so exciting. We had a debacle with the keys on the way to our luau the first night (totally our fault) and the property owners were amazing and called us right back so that we were on time. There was plenty of room, we ate in a lot and there was everything under the sun to cook with. Bathroom had a great shower and the bed was super comfortable. They truly think of everything. The property was immaculate, quiet, so many beautiful things to do right there. If you are looking for a stay in Maui, you couldn't pick a better place. We didn't want to leave.

The condo location was very convenient for everything we wanted to experience and the unit location in the building was perfect, allowing for privacy and beautiful views from the balcony. We saw whales everyday and enjoyed the sunsets over Lanai. The “winter” temperatures were comfortable with the windows open and the fans going.

Great location!
Great location and convenient to Lahaina. The view is stunning and we saw whales from the balcony! Definitely recommend! My only comments would be that we did have a little bit of an incident with the iron. The property manager reached out immediately when we contacted him and was easily accessible. The parking can also be a bit of a hassle, even with a parking pass. Overall though, very nice and we would love to visit again!

From the initial contact with our hosts to the check-in, posted rules and regulations of the property as well as suggestions for places to eat or see our hosts made our trip easy by being so organized. The place was as posted and our hosts paid attention to all the small details you don't really consider until you get there. Comfy bed and pillows and great linens. The lanai was a perfect place for breakfast and evening beverages.

Awesome stay!
We really enjoyed staying at Jeff's beautiful condo. The home was exactly as advertised and they were very responsive with messages. The lanai was a great spot for coffee in the morning or wine in the evening, with gorgeous sunsets! The only two things I want to point out, which wasn't a deal breaker for us, but might be something "non regulars" might want to consider - it does get a little hot at night, but there are ceiling fans and a nice breeze if you open all the windows. Also the location is a little further away from Lahaina Town and about 15 mins from downtown so take that into account. We would 100% recommend this location and will be back again!

This place is beautiful and perfect. My only complaint is that I was hit up for $25 per day extra for them to turn on the air conditioning. I find that very offensive. If I rented a car, would I be charged more for adding wheels?
