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.

Great place to stay!
We had a fabulous stay here. The ocean is right off the lanai. We ate every breakfast here and several dinners. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals. The location is great. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from the crowded resorts. The central location makes it easy to get to all areas of the island. The unit had a/c but the trade winds blow reliably and kept the unit pleasant with the windows open to hear the ocean. We had an issue with a ceiling fan that was fixed promptly. The beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t imagine a better place to stay here.

Perfect!
Day 1 through day 12 was nothing less than perfect! Listening to the waves crash right outside our window was wonderful. The condo was the perfect size for 4 adults. We walked to Haycraft Beach almost everyday with ease. This was actually one of our favorite beaches we visited. We were centrally located and never felt we were to far from anything we wanted to do! We will definitely The corner unit was a plus. Unfortunately, 2 days before we left, they cut down 3 palm trees in front of the condo but it’s still a beautiful view!

Great stay in Maui
Beautiful spot looking out over the ocean. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sea turtles were right out front playing in the waves everyday. The location was quite central for the driving tours we did on the island. We were able to get a good sleep everynight as the beds were comfortable and the ceiling fan or a/c kept the room at a good temperature. Great place !

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 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.

I wouldn’t recommend staying here if u like to walk everywhere bc there’s not a whole lot walking distance but I loved the location & the condo.

Crew REST!!
Thank you for being wonderfully hospitable hosts with prompt communication, fully stocked beach gear, and offering many local recommendations to make our stay in Maui so delightful. They even left a thoughtful welcome gift! The location of the accommodation is in close proximity to the beach and in a quiet, less-commercialized area. Crew Rest was a haven in the midst of the wildfires. Our prayers and hearts go out to the amazing people here pressing on and rebuilding from the devastation. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future when we return to Maui!

Beautiful condo and view!
The condo was immaculate, and decorated very warm and beautiful. Everything you could think of wanting was supplied and then some :) Communication with the owner was great, Stephanie was very prompt and helpful. The only disappointment was that it is not actually on a beach. There is a small sandy/rocky beach area behind a nearby condo, but we did not access it. I was disappointed because I had researched many places and my #1 thing was to have easy/close access to the beach. But the ocean views made it worth it!

Great Stay in Paradise
Crew Rest was so comfortable with beautiful views of Haleakalā and Molokini! The location is perfect, near all attractions. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles every day and even spotted a few whales even though it is a month after whale season. There is a park with a beach within a two minute walk and the Maalaea Aquarium and harbor are within a five minute walk. We spent so much time enjoying meals on the patio, we watched an amazing storm from there. The condo is well stocked, with all small appliances, dishes, glasses, silverware, cutlery, pots & pans, bakeware, food storage, paper towels; blow dryers, toiletries, bedding, towels, etc. It felt like home, but better since it’s Hawaii! There was even a nice little welcome basket. The grounds are well maintained and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend!

Great spots on the lawn to sit and enjoy the views. Really nice balcony to sit out on for meals and whale watching (during whale season)

Spectacular Views and Island Breezes
We found the Crews Rest to be exactly as advertised, comfortable, well maintained, kitchen well equipped, and a beautiful location. The owners were quick to respond to any question and even added an air fryer because we asked if there was one. The location was perfect with beautiful views of Maalea Harbor, Molokini crater and Haleakala. It was also convenient to Kihei and a quick jaunt to most everywhere else we wanted to go. We loved the fact that the condo was in a quiet area, near the end of a dead end street. There was actually very little we would change. It was a little disappointing that there was no direct beach access even though we were probably no more than 30 feet from the ocean but that was not a deal breaker for us. I spent every morning on the lanai with my coffee enjoying the peace and quiet waiting the next spectacular sunrise. Also, not a complaint just a statement for awareness. The kitchen is tiny so you have to get creative if you want to have two people working in the kitchen together.🤣 Thanks to Stephanie and Mike for providing a great retreat for our 50th wedding anniversary and the lovely welcome treats!

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!
