We have Fire Survivors in this unit at least until January 31, 2025. Please check back for the latest information later in 2024.

An elegant entrance hall leads you to the living room of your spectacular oceanfront tenth floor corner two-bedroom suite. Lovingly furnished in Contemporary Pacific Rim style, this spacious unit of 1450 square feet features a beautiful and fully-equipped kitchen with everything needed either to dabble in cooking or prepare full meals for the family. The large granite serving area and comfortable seating for six at the unique dining table made of a trunk of lychee wood is perfect for entertaining or just serving your own romantic dinner.

Mahana 1009 has two master bedrooms, each with its own luxurious bathroom. The magnificent burled king size bed from Bali with a lush pillow top mattress provides the most luxurious sleeping Maui has to offer. The second master bedroom is distinctively decorated with cool and serene green and black. A wall of windows in the bedroom provides a breathtaking view of the magnificent Maui mountains.

The comfortable living room couch includes a queen sofa bed, though many guests, including our adult children, have found it simpler and more comfortable to make up one or both sides of the L-shaped sofa into single beds, rather than pulling out the sleep sofa each night. The bedding is conveniently located in the cabinet in the hall.

At the end of a quiet road, the Mahana offers serenity not found in the frenetic hotels at the other end of Ka'anapali Beach and yet it is still convenient to extraordinary dining, shopping, and activities. The resort blends seclusion with the convenience of being right down the street from the best grocery store in the area, Times Market, a snorkel shop, delicatessen, Mexican Restaurant, real estate office, coffee shop, make-your-own-pancakes restaurant, therapeutic massage, fish market, sub shop, Italian restaurant, fishing and tackle shop, and much more.

The Mahana is direct oceanfront, offering breathtaking views up and down uncrowded North Ka'anapali Beach in West Maui and across the gorgeous Pacific to the islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i - you are only about 40 feet from the ocean! The weather systems over the two islands create amazing sunsets you can enjoy from your lanai each evening. You will revel in the quiet luxury of the Mahana and yet still appreciate its proximity to restaurants, shops, and activities.

During humpback whale season you can sit on your large lanai and feast on the natural show right in front of you.

You are just two miles from Whalers Village where you can shop, enjoy meals at first-class restaurants, or just go out for a night on the town.

For those who love to walk along the beach, the Mahana is perfect. You have the choice of walking about two miles to the Sheraton at Black Rock either along the beach or on the boardwalk. You can then continue your walk to Whaler's Village and then on to the Hyatt at the far end of the boardwalk. Along the way, you will pass wonderful oceanfront restaurants including world-famous Duke's and also Castaway's. Walking from the Mahana in the other direction, north, you have two oceanfront cafes within five minutes, one at the Ka'anapali Beach Club and also at Ka'anapali Shores. If you want to drive, you are just two miles from Whalers Village and four miles from Lahaina where you can shop, enjoy meals at first-class restaurants, or just go out for a night on the town.

There is great snorkeling right in front of the resort, plus an oceanfront pool, hot tub, shuffleboard court, and BBQ grills that are cleaned daily.

The Mahana has four championship golf courses nearby and easy access to the Challenge at Manele on the island of Lana'i from the Lahaina Pier via the Expeditions ferry.

Before you make a reservation, please recognize that I book our units back-to-back where guests arrive in the afternoon of the morning other guests depart. If a guest chooses dates that are not back-to-back, then please leave a seven-night space between bookings since that is what most people request, though I will sometimes accept 5. For example, please do not book 4 nights in the middle of 7 open nights, leave one or two days open at one end of your reservation, or book just 2 or 3 nights unless you ask me first. PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BOOKING. There are certainly times where I will take a reservation with a small gap, but I would like to discuss this with you first. Our cleaners have asked us not to take reservations with arrivals on New Year's, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.

I will provide a full refund up to 60 days prior to your arrival for any reason.

It would be a privilege to help make this your dream vacation!

Mahalo,
Sue Registration Number: TA-071-256-2688-01, GE-071-256-2688-01

4 of us spent a week at unit 1009 in May. It had almost a perfect 5 star rating, so I will admit to being a little disappointed, and expected more. Perhaps, since we hadn’t visited the island in 20 years, my expectations were unrealistic • Far, far too much furniture in the front bedroom. It is very crowded • The tub/shower-really inconvenient, if not unsafe. It is a deep whirlpool tub with a shower in it. There is a step up, but the step down is probably 2’. Getting back out is a challenge. There is one rail on the wall to hold onto, but it is barely enough to hoist yourself up and out of the tub. • The grout and caulking around the tub had mold/mildew. There is a cracked tile on the wall • There is an issue with the air conditioning. Even with the sun shades closed during the day, the living area overheats even with the AC running. And the front master bedroom gets too cold, while the living area is too warm. There didn’t appear to be any way to close the vent in the bedroom to keep it more temperate and would actually help push more air into the living area. The back bedroom has it’s own AC thermostat All of that said, we enjoyed our stay, and our host, Sue, is a nice person and a great communicator. So nice, that I actually feel bad that I’m not leaving a 5 star review. There is nothing so bad as to discourage anyone from renting the unit, though, but a few changes/improvements would certainly make it a 5 star stay.

We loved our stay at Mahana! With a napping toddler, it was the perfect place to enjoy relaxing and amazing views right above the ocean! Better than any ground level hotel room. We saw the best sunsets here, saw multiple turtles every day and even whales! There is actually great snorkeling on the beach in front to the left (perfect If you want something low key without a lot of driving and fuss). The apartment was super comfortable and had everything we needed and Sue was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend! The only note I would add is that if you have kids (or adults) excited about a pool, the pool here is fairly small and for small kids, it doesn’t actually have a shallow end so be ware. But the water was warm and the hot tub was great and no need to worry about the pool when the ocean is right there! Mahalo!

Sue was an awesome host! She answered all our questions about beach equipment and extras that she had to make our stay super easy. The views are phenomenal!! We watched whales and sea turtles from the window and deck everyday. The condo itself was fully stocked with everything you could need plus lots of extras that meant we didn’t need to spend extra money for rentals (sunbrellas, coolers, beach towels, beach chairs etc). Check in was a breeze. The property and condo are extremely well maintained. We stayed with our 3 kids (9, 11 &13) and had plenty of space for all of us. There is a parking lot of food trucks just down the street that make dining with lots of options super convenient. We wish we had booked 2 weeks instead of 1!!

This was by far the best vrbo experience we have had. Sue was absolutely amazing and made sure our vacation was perfect. The views from the condo are absolutely breath taking. We could see whales, turtles and dolphins all from the condo window. We were all so comfortable in the beds/couch, and Sue has literally thought of everything we could have possibly needed. I can’t not recommend it enough, and would give it more than 5/5 stars!! We can not wait to book again.

Incredible location, right on edge of beach. Amazing views especially the whale sightings every morning. Food trucks in nearby park are amazing, especially the Vietnamese one. Condo is modern and well appointed. Lovely gift basket with gifts to take home. Also appreciated the mineral sunscreen that guests had left. The only issues we had were minor. Although one doesn’t come to Hawaii to watch TV, we did find the instructions missing a step, we couldn’t watch broadcast TV from living room. Also the water pressure, especially in second bedroom was often low. But really an enjoyable stay. FYI, many restaurants in Maui are booked weeks or even months in advanced so you may need to book early. Boardwalk is great!

The property is pictured accurately, we had everything we needed! The grills at poolside are spotless and we used them regularly. The host Sue is absolutely amazing, we had a one tiny piece of advice that we needed for the lanai doors (make sure they are shut all the way) for the air to work seamlessly and Sue responded immediately. Effortless check in and check out, all the key codes and car tag info are given with check in. The views are incredible in this unit. We had a perfect stay!

Absolutely the most amazing sunsets every night with fantastic views of the islands off of Maui! Just steps from the boardwalk without all the traffic running in front of the condo unit. So nice to feel like a private beach and an easy walk to all the action! Pool and hot tub were nice too. Would stay here again upon a return visit!

Best condo ever. It is even better than the pictures! The condo and especially the kitchen, is well stocked. And you don't have to leave the condo beach to snorkel and see turtles up close.

The pictures do not lie. The ocean views from this clean and comfortable property are spectacular. We enjoyed watching whales, turtles, dolphins and even mongoose from the lanai. The Mahana resort is exceptionally well kept including the pool, tennis court and grills. The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy to cook. We appreciated the additional touches such as the binoculars and beach equipment. Parking is easy and shopping/restaurants close by. Just a FYI. The oceanfront bedroom bathroom shower requires a step up and a big step down. There is a handrail however an unsteady guest or one with mobility issues should use the other shower.

Very calm and relaxing experience in a nicely appointed condo. The place had everything we needed for our beach oriented stay. Internet worked great for all of our gadgets.

The is condo is perfect! The view was so good that we picked up dinner, ate on the balcony and watched the sunset every night. You can walk on the beach a good distance during low tide...tide doesn't change much but the beach isn't very wide. You can watch sea turtles swim around. The pool area is nice but didn't use it much. Kitchen had everything we needed. Beds are comfortable. The only thing that I could see a problem with would be the master bathtub/shower. It would be hard for someone that is off balance to get in and out of it safely. BUT there is another bedroom with a bathroom so no big deal. The location is perfect. Grocery store, restaurants and a food truck lot are extremely close. I did give the review 4 stars for checking in and 4 stars for communication. We were not register at parking kiosk and were not able to get a parking pass. I messaged the owners with no response. I gave the review 5 stars because it did not affect our stay at all. We were not stopped or questioned. I would rent this condo again and will suggest it to family and friends. Just sit back and enjoy the view!

We loved everything about our vrbo stay ..the owner (Sue) was so pleasant and helpful and the communication was excellent. The unit was very clean & updated, the beds amazingly comfortable, and you can’t beat the views from the lanai balcony and wrap around window - pure paradise! We saw sea turtles, whales and dolphins right from our window. Everything was as described in the listing ..and then some. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this vrbo to anyone coming to Maui. Perfect location and walking distance from great restaurants and shops..and a beach outside your door. Thank you for an amazing stay!
