Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit was great, was just how it was pictured. We saw turtles from our balcony! They have beach chairs, towels, cooler and umbrella to use while you’re there. Loved the restaurants around the unit, Duke’s was a favorite and L&L Hawaiian BBQ. Near great beaches, we had a great time and would love to stay again.

When I go back to Maui, I will absolutely stay in this unit again! From the basic location-location-location to the subtle details (7th floor and this particular location in relation to the palm trees) is perfection. It's beautifully appointed, right down to the fact that they included water jugs and sunscreens for outings! The lanai is perfectly situated - any lower and we would have heard the waves a bit too much (maybe)...any higher and we wouldn't have had such a fantabulous view of the SEA TURTLES that were constantly showing off below our room. A bit to the right and a gorgeous palm tree may have been in our way - a bit to the left, and - well, it was perfectly situated! The beach in front of the unit is an amazing place to snorkel! There was NO ONE on our beach or in the water where we were (except us) ~ the snorkeling was just as good as some of the bays we visited, including Honoloa, which is supposed to be among the best. We LOVED the L&L Hawaiian restaurant across the street as well as the amazing food trucks adjacent to the property. Everything we needed, including a grocery store, snorkel gear, food... was within easy walking distance. Overall, the resort is in a great location - just north of Lahaina, but out of the way of the crowded resorts like Sheraton (still within walking distance of Black Rock, albeit a bit of a jaunt). The team was responsive when we had questions before we arrived. We give it an EASY 100% perfect rating!

Overall a great stay! Loved being right next to the ocean. Kept the glass door open all night to sleep to the sound of the waves. Clean updated condo with prompt communication from the host.

Great property, pictures don’t do it justice! Sit on the balcony and watch turtles below! Walk 200 yards to Dukes! Or 2 miles to whalers village all on the boardwalk!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was an incredible place to stay! The views from the lanai and the living area window were to die for. The air conditioning worked well, the kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. Everything was clean, updated, and very well organized. Bed was very comfortable. The location was amazing, within walking distance of multiple beaches, 7 min drive to Whalers Village. We saw sea turtles every single day at the beach directly below the condo. Some very minor construction noise noted in the surrounding condos but nothing horrible. Would highly recommend this place!

The unit was extremely clean and had everything you could possibly need and more. The location was excellent and the pool and beach access were excellent. The hosts were always quick and responsive and very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone and you will not be disappointed. It was probably the best experience we’ve ever had with this kind of booking.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay here was outstanding! The view cannot be beat. It feels like you are out on the water. The unit had everything we needed to make our stay easy and comfortable. We especially like the backpack cooler since we were traveling with kids and needed to be as hands free as possible. We would not hesitate to stay here again! Our only recommendation is that they should replace the lanai chairs. They were rusting and stained some of our clothing just from sitting in them and hanging things to dry on them.

My husband and I came here for just two days of rest and relaxation after working several days on another island. The listing said that you may see Whales through the end of March. Well, we were not hopeful, since it was the very end of March. Boy were we surprised, we saw them breaching -whole families of them. It was just amazing. The unit is very very clean and modern and just so very comfortable to be in. We are so happy we found this listing and would certainly come again.

This was a spectacular place to stay. We saw numerous whales out our window every day. The condo was super clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was timely and helpful. We slept with the sliding door open to listen to the surf crashing just below us. We truly appreciated the coolers, beach chairs, and beach towels. So convenient to have a washer/dryer. The views were just as good from the two chairs by the living room window as they were from the lanai. We had an absolutely wonderful stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in Maui was terrific with waking up and watching the whales with our morning coffee from our condo being a highlight. Our place was fantastic! It had a gorgeous ocean view from the balcony off of the bedroom & from the living area. It was renovated, beautifully decorated, well provisioned with kitchen, bath & outdoor play items as well as having a washer & dryer. We loved our thoughtful welcome gift & appreciated having coffee on hand as we arrived late in the day. We definitely recommend this condo & the Stice Management team.

The view is by far the best! We whale watched from our lanai! It was also nice to have beach chairs, coolers, beach towels and a washer/dryer! Megan (property manager) left us a little welcome package and was available for any question we had. We would hands down stay there again...truly a wonderful place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I booked the Mahana 718 after doing a lot of research on hotels and condos in the area. We wanted privacy, a view of the water, and a homey feel.We couldn't have anticipated how wonderful our stay would be. The condo had just changed ownership and there was brand new furniture, appliances and beach supplies. The owners and Hawaii Life clearly put so much thought into making the condo comfortable and stylish. That view!!! I still can't get over it!Megan from Hawaii Life greeted us on our check in and welcomed us into the unit. There was a thoughtful welcome package and a helpful binder on local restaurants, activities, and services. Megan was available to answer questions and concerns for us during our stay, but we really didn't contact her at all since everything was so perfect.The beach equipment was brand new and of great quality. Everything was sparkling clean! The only slight negative (and this is so minor) was that the washer/dryer was older and couldn't hold a lot in it.We wholeheartedly recommend the Mahana 718 for anyone looking for a quiet slice of paradise! We will definitely be back.

No resort has a better view for whale watching or is closer to the water than Mahana.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was wonderful at the Mahana - absolutely beautiful condo with a killer view. Bed was comfortable - very roomy - kitchen well stocked. Good quality beach chairs and towels to use. Only negative was 1) No light on outside lanai so to sit outside at night was by moonlight only. Would be nice to even have a lantern or something to play cards on the deck in the evening. 2) The beach out front has a lot of coral.... you have to walk down to find a bit sandier of an entrance.... but we've come to expect that from most of the beaches in Kaanpali. Would 100% return.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We couldn't have been more happy with our experience at Mahana 718. You couldn't ask for anything more from the was hard to tear ourselves away from the lanai every evening. The condo itself was clean, up-to-date and really well equipped (we especially appreciated the well-stocked beach closet with beach bags, chairs, umbrellas etc.). The only nitpick I have is that I think it's time for a new mattress (it noticeably sloped to one side), but like a said...a nitpick. We look forward to returning to this property soon!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We've stayed at the Mahana before so we knew we'd have gorgeous views, lovely grounds, and a convenient location for shopping and strolling the beach boardwalk. There was a little glitch with the door code, but Megan responded quickly, and the issue was resolved. Other reviewers have mentioned the yucky carpet, and it was indeed a definite disappointment; however, we were told it was being replaced as soon as we departed. That's great for future tenants but a bummer for us recent renters. The screen doors were a bit temperamental-perhaps a little grease on the rails would help them glide more smoothly? Otherwise, the condo was clean and well-stocked with kitchen, bathroom and beach items. We appreciated the comfy couch and bed. We loved our trip to Maui and can't wait to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent 3 of 5 weeks in this condo in Hawaii. Loved the building complex and folks there - staff was wonderful and friendly. The complex is probably a little better suited for mature couples or people without children as the beach is sandy but due to the coral, there is no swimming in front of the complex. A short 1/2 mile boardwalk took us to the public beach. The condo could really use either a new furnace/air conditioning system or a tune-up. It did cool the unit but it was so terribly noisy to run that it often was easier just to turn it off.

Overall, the condo was wonderful. The communication was kind, easy, and fast. The bedding was comfortable and the views, oh man the views we still miss. you cannot beat those windows and balcony. There was a sea turtle that would come to shore right below the condo about the same time daily for the week that we stayed which was so fun to watch. There were plenty of towels, hot water, and all you need to enjoy your stay. There are restaurants, food trucks, a store to rent snorkel gear, and a grocery store all within walking distance. I would give this property 5 stars under normal circumstances. Although they mention the construction, we did not realize the noise would start at 7:20am each weekday morning and be too loud to remain in the unit as they worked on units to each side of us. I cannot stress how loud it was and the sealant they sprayed smelled awful and was all over the balcony, we wiped it down daily. Fortunately, we would come back in the afternoons and the noise was far less and bearable. I would highly recommend staying here but only once the construction is complete.

As far as the unit itself goes, it was very well appointed, and the views are awesome. Under normal circumstances, this unit would be a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it, normally. We have nothing negative to say about the unit, the owner, or the property manager. We have stayed at the Mahana in other units, several times over the years, and absolutely love staying there. However, the construction that is currently going on in the Lanai'i tower, is much more significant than what we understood from the website posting. There is Major renovation going on, not only with the exterior of the tower itself, but also interior renovations with all the units surrounding this particular unit. We could not stay the unit during the day, at all, as the noise was unbearable, especially from the unit directly overhead, and had to make sure we found other things to do, during the day. I would NOT recommend staying in the Lanai'i tower at all, until the building renovations are completed. Would love to stay in this unit again, when all the renovations are complete.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Location is right on the beach with great sunset views. You do have to walk a little to be able to swim in the ocean but that wasn’t a big deal. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location, view was awesome, Lanai was very hot in afternoon, no breezes coming in, make sure you use the air conditioner during the day, put down blinds during day to reduce the heat in unit.

We enjoyed our stay in Maui. The condo was as advertised and everything we could hope for. We read a prior review saying Mahana 718 was like being on a cruise ship…and they were right! Went to sleep every night to the sound of crashing waves. Awesome stay!
