Upon entering this west Maui condo, you are stopped in your tracks. You can hardly believe what you are seeing.
First, there is the view. Eight-foot-high and stretching along the entire ocean-facing front of the unit, the floor-to-ceiling windows are filled with a sweeping panorama of sea, sky, and islands. No Maui land in sight from your eighth-floor elevation. The azure Pacific Ocean is crystal clear and punctuated by gentle waves. Fluffy cumulus clouds cluster around the peaks of the neighbor islands of Lanai and Molokai, providing an inspiring backdrop for your sunrise and sunset watching. If your stay is between the months of October and May, you see tall, column-shaped blows from humpback whales in the Auau Channel between the islands. The entire scene is breathtaking.
When you have managed to pry your eyes from the view, more beauty awaits. The open floor plan of this home offers a spacious environment with large, light-filled rooms. From the waterfall edge of the quartz countertops, to the recycled sea glass of the light fixture, to the light gray porcelain tile underfoot—everything is sleek, contemporary, and tasteful. Against the walls’ white background, the blues and greens of the accent colors echo the vibrant hues visible through your windows. The furnishings are superior in every detail: a luxury sectional sleeper sofa, Italian leather swivel chair, shagreen & wood tables, aerial photographic art reflecting an image of Hawai`i, and a classic surfboard are just a few highlights.
Walking into the bedroom, you find a serene, beautiful space ideal for sheer relaxation. An upholstered king size bed features a puffy yet supportive mattress and decadent hotel collection bedding. The window treatment slides either from right-to-left or left-to-right, giving you the ability to adjust it to enjoy a full ocean view while relaxing in bed. A 65” smart television, ample closet and plenty of dresser storage add to your comfort.
The bathroom contains a large custom shower; a modern, free-form vessel sink; and glamorous beveled, backlit mirrors. Tranquil and lovely. Important from a practical viewpoint, the bathroom also holds your high-end washer/dryer laundry.
Enabling indoor-outdoor living in Maui’s unspoiled island Paradise, the ocean front private lanai is perfect. A dining table seating four guests and a comfortable sectional sofa allow for a variety of pursuits while enjoying the warm, sunny days and soft, cooler evenings. Observing the colorful schooling fish in the reef below is an endlessly fascinating activity, and enjoying a cocktail at sunset while watching the sun gradually sink below the horizon is an experience not to be missed.
In the Hawai`ian language the word, Mahana, means “warm.” How apt for this gorgeous condominium in its extraordinary setting. It provides the warmth of superior physical comfort, privacy, and beauty. Further, it offers the warmth of the Owners’ personal attention to every detail of the home in their quest to provide you with the vacation experience of a lifetime.
Do not miss the opportunity to indulge in this unique Hawai`ian retreat!
Third time staying at this property. Everything about the unit and the property was exceptional. Highly recommend unit if staying on Maui. Convenient to everything, quiet property. You cant go wrong staying here. Mahalo
Amazing stay! Beautiful place with amazing views. Loved falling asleep every night to the sound of the ocean! Definitely a place I would come back to in the future.
The view from this unit of the Mahana is absolutely stunning. Getting to sit out on the lanai was the highlight of our trip to Maui. We saw many sea turtles swimming every day, spinner dolphins jumping and splashing, spotted eagle rays, frigate birds, and the occasional monk seal heading over to rest on the beach. We are already hoping to return for whale season. Our flight got in very late at night but guest check-in at the Mahana is a breeze. The kitchen of this unit also includes every utensil you could need. The shower was excellent as well. The host was very responsive. Overall an incredible stay.
Property location and views were great. Wish we would have had the property access and WiFi info before leaving Chicago. Had very spotty internet through out our 12 hours of travel. On most of my prior VRBO rentals , wifi info is left in the unit.Trish
This was a spectacular place to stay! The only thing missing was an umbrella and binoculars… everything else was perfectly provided and such a wonderful place to be
A beautiful condo in a great location with an attentive host. What more could you ask?We watched a LOT of whales, the monk seal, rays, and turtles from the lanai and the floor to ceiling windows. Already booked for next year!
Finding the building was difficult, but good directions helped. Recent storms made park of the parking lot wet with flood water. beach was wonderful and good place to walk. The view into the ocean water was great and allowed us to see turtles swimming beneath the waves-very awesome!
Host provided necessary details in a very timely manner, seemed very approachable and ready to respond to any needs. The condo is absolutely perfect.. beautiful decor and furnishings, kitchen well equipped, location of course exceptional!
The views did not disappoint!! From the moment you walked in the door it felt as if you were literally in the water! We watched the whales, turtles and sea lions from our balcony/lanai every day. The condo was stunning. Very beachy but modern vibe! It has every thing you need. Walking to grocery store, food truck park, famous cinnamon rolls and Dukes.
