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.
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
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!
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
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.
This condo is the most beautiful sanctuary on Maui! The host was so welcoming in their communication and helping us. The view of this unit cannot be more beautiful. The condo is appointed with beautiful furniture and decorations that make you feel peaceful and happy I have been staying in this location on Maui for 12 years and I have never felt so serene and happy. This unit deserves far more than five stars outstanding
Very nice property, very comfortable the views were greatWe loved our time on the balcony watching the sunsetHighly recommend this unitAll the amenities provided beach chairs, coolers et cetera made it very comfortable pleasant stay
We enjoyed our stay and loved the condo! The decor was exactly as described and view truly amazing. Ken has stocked the condo with everything you’ll need to spend the day on the beach. We will definitely be coming back to stay here next year!
The view was special. Watched surfers and sea turtles .. the unit had everything one would need. Parking on site...Bed was super comfy. A five stsr stay
We have stayed at the Mahanna several times and tried various condos and this one did not disappoint!!Its is very updated and clean and up on the 8th floors allows you to see the sea life (lots of turtles) easily with no obstructions.The sunsets from the lani are amazing and this time we were even treated to the most amazing rainbow without ever leaving our condo.
