Beautiful fully AC 2 BR/2BA Kanai a Nalu beachfront condo 20 ft from the waves

Grand reopening 12/20/25/! We helped FEMA house Lahaina fire responders and then fire survivors, and now our condo returns, refreshed throughout with all repairs and replacements complete, as a vacation rental where YOU can “have it all”! Updated photos coming soon!

Enjoy abundant comfort at our beautiful, fully air conditioned home away from home in Maalaea's most sought after resort, Kanai a Nalu, directly on the beach in the sunniest, driest part of Maui!

Those who book now can enjoy our low "return to vacation rental" pricing, knowing you cannot, for any price, get closer to Maui's waves than you'll be at this gorgeous beachfront condo.You won't find more spectacular panoramic ocean or volcano views anywhere on the island.(Our condo fronts directly on Maalaea Bay, facing south, so you can watch the sun come up over Haleakala and set over Lanai Island!)

For those needing FULL air conditioning, not just a window unit in the living room, our split system cools the entire living/dining/kitchen area AND both bedrooms (individual room temp settings), eliminating hot, sleepless nights! (Most other Maui condos advertising AC have only a single window unit in the living room, leaving their bedrooms hot. So you'll definitely want to check AC details of any condos you are considering before you choose your Maui vacation lodging.)
\Our sunny, convenient Maalaea location gets less rain than any other part of the island. Come relax and enjoy our lovely, comfortable, truly beachfront accommodations, just 20 feet from the waves!

Our uniquely situated, peaceful end unit in Kanai a Nalu's quiet northwest beachfront wing is filled with the sights, sounds, and fragrances of this sparsely developed oasis on Maui's resort coast.You'll enjoy unparalleled views of the ocean, Haleakala volcano, and Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Molokini Islands as well as South Maui coast, watch green sea turtles swimming just off our beach. Our winter guests enjoy sighting the amazing humpback whales during their stays in Malaaea Bay, where they have their babies, from our oceanfront wall of windows and lanai! The sound of gentle waves lapping the shore will lull you to sleep after days exploring Maui or relaxing at our on-site pool or beach.

The beauty, comfort and convenience extend inside also, with soothing tropical decor, and beds so comfortable that guests tell us they want to take them home! You can prepare anything from snacks to holiday meals in our full gourmet kitchen, and serve them up casually or in high style. Our new in-unit full-sized LG HE washer and dryer means you can pack lightly! Our condo is fully stocked with bed and bath linens, plentiful beach towels, and other amenities,

Our condo in peaceful, safe, family-friendly Maalaea is best enjoyed by active retirees, small groups of mature friends, families with school-aged or older children, and parties of one or two couples. Ideal for up to four guests, including any children or infants, maximum permitted occupancy is six (cribs, diaper pails and changing tables must be rented from a local company and parents must be responsible for all child safety measures).

The master bedroom has spectacular ocean views on two sides, memory foam bed, and en suite master bath with shower. The ocean view guest bedroom has twin memory foam beds that can convert to a king; the guest full bathroom with tub and disability height toilet is off the hallway. Both bedrooms have closets, dressers, nightstands, and their own AC, and wall-mounted smart TVs (no cable in the second bedroom). Because both large and small things matter, we offer free high speed wifi, free US and Canada land line, outlets with USB ports, and a printer for those working from the condo.

In the closets, you'll find beach equipment such as umbrella, chairs, cooler, etc.. Our spacious, tropically decorated living room provides abundant comfortable seating, and wall-mounted large-screen HD LCD TV with cable channels, and opens to a private, covered, oceanfront lanai with comfortable seating. Throughout the condo, you’ll find beautiful tile floors, original Hawaiian art, and decorator touches. Parking for one car in our on site lot is free; cars must be registered at the desk

Our beautifully landscaped resort is lush with tropical flower gardens and fruit trees, and grassy lawns edging the first steps of Sugar Beach, although the sand is more sparse since some major storms. The resort offers a solar-heated freshwater pool, barbecues, and picnic/lounging areas, all beside the ocean. From the nearby beach park, you can walk along Maui's longest sandy stretch-- gorgeous, unspoiled Maalaea/Sugar Beach-- as it curves past Kealia Pond Wildlife (bird) Refuge down to North Kihei.

In our well sheltered part of the Pacific (tucked behind the islands of Lanai, Molokini and Kahoolawae) you can enjoy boogie boarding, snorkeling, or swimming in the warm, gentle surf breaking over the very gradually sloping ocean floor. Our resort's name, Kanai a Nalu, means "Gentle Surf" in Hawaiian. (Nonetheless, the nearby famous annual "Freight Train" wave draws surfers worldwide during its annual appearance - so you can surf here as well!) When it's time for lunch or dinner, the beautiful granite faced beachside charcoal and gas barbecues make it easy to grill up a feast, which you can take back to the condo or enjoy at the picnic tables beside the ocean.

At our condo, in Maui's most convenient resort coast location, you will be staying not only on right on the ocean, but just 15-20 minutes from Iao Valley State Park, abundant golf facilities, Maui's major airport, Costco, Target and other stores to "shop in" your "must haves", Kaanapali and Wailea, and you'll be within walking distance of the Maui Ocean Center, Maalaea Marina, the Harbor Shops, and a variety of restaurants. It takes us one and three quarters hours to drive to Haleakala summit from the condo, and a little over twenty minutes to the start of "the Road to Hana".

Maalaea lies within the driest and sunniest microclimate in Maui, yet is kept comfortable by tradewind breezes. (Our area is technically desert; in fact, you will see cacti growing on the slopes just mauka of the condo,)

If you are celebrating an important occasion, we would love to help you find ways of making your stay, from your first step inside the condo, extra special! Advance planning is needed for special touches, as things have to be ordered and shipped to Maui ahead of time, so it is great to discuss these ideas when you are making your reservation.

Just a few words about some limitations on staying with us: Resort-wide quiet hours apply between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., and all guests (including young children) are expected to comply, indoors and out. NO smoking or animals of any kind for any reason are permitted in our condo or on its lanai due to family allergies. Condo and lanai furniture and other items must not be repositioned unless for safety, and no condo items other those for beach use may be taken outside the condo. Large sports equipment (kiteboards, bicycles, etc.), must be stored outside, not inside, our condo or on the lanai. No running or climbing, and no food or beverages outside kitchen/dining areas.

We happily accept bookings through VRBO and affiliated websites and you may now use mobile booking, as well as instant booking to avoid someone else doing so before you secure your dates, which are not confirmed prior to payment. The occupancy stated on your request cannot be increased without notifying us, and increases in guest number following reservation will involve additional fees, which apply to the full stay. We will provide a rental agreement stating your dates and occupancy, which you will need to sign and return to us to complete your reservation.

Please see our rate calendar for seasonal nightly rates and length of stay requirements. It IS possible to rent the full holiday season with a minimum 16 night stay.. Stays shorter than "required minimum" can sometimes be accepted if dates are open as a short gap. Stated rates apply for up to four guests. An additional folding mattress can be placed on the second bedroom floor for a third person (best for a child). A rented crib or pack and play can be placed in the condo. Additional charges will be incurred for the full stay per each additional person of any age staying in the condo for any part of the stay, The rates currently published are heavily discounted from our standard charges as we reopen to vacation rentals, with long stay discount for 28 nights or more; other discounts may apply Taxes are subject to change because Maui does so often.

YOU WILL NEED TO READ, SIGN, iNITIAL AND RETURN THE RENTAL AGREEMENT WE EMAIL TO YOU. OUR RENTAL AGREEMENT TERMS WILL APPLY FULLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU READ/SIGN/RETURN the AGREEMENT BEFORE OR AFTER RESERVING THROUGH VRBO.

Because most guests book their Maui vacations many months in advance, we have learned over our many years of renting that rebooking cancelled stays is usually not possible. We therefore cannot provide refunds for cancelled or modified stays, regardless of cause, so recommend you purchase travel insurance.

For us as owners, the best part of renting out our vacation home is getting to know (through correspondence) the people who stay there when we can't be there ourselves. We've gotten to know many guests through their frequent returns over our 21 plus years of owning our condo.

If you are planning far in advance of your stay, you may wish to inquire prior to reservation so that we may answer all of your questions and ensure that you and our condo are a good match. We look forward to hearing from you to answer any questions, Please understand, though, that your inquiry will not "hold" your dates at the condo, which will be held only by an actual booking request. We hope to welcome you soon!
