Enjoy snorkeling with the sea turtles, humpback whale watching in the winter or gazing at rainbows, this property is perfect for it all! The Kahana Sunset sits on Keonenui Bay and feels as though it has its own private beach. Conveniently located minutes from world-renowned golf courses at Kapalua and Kaanapali, and steps from shops, markets and restaurants in Napili, this property is also just a few miles away from the excitement of Kaanapali Resort. This unit proudly features:

This townhouse has older plantation style décor and is offered at lesser rate per night less than the neighboring condos that are fully remodeled and similarly located. The two full bathrooms upstairs and the half bathroom on the ground floor have been upgraded since the original construction. There are large flat screen TVs in the living room and Master bedroom. The unobstructed ocean views are why you should book this condo!

Your condominium will be supplied with beach towels. It will not however be stocked with beach equipment. Too often items break or go missing and it is not feasible to track and replace the items. Sullivan Properties, Inc firmly believes in recycling & lowering the carbon footprint we leave on this planet! If items are purchased or acquired by guests and are still in good condition, we are happy to leave them in the unit for others to enjoy. If they are extremely dirty or broken, we must toss them out. There are places nearby that rent beach amenities – your property might also have an onsite rental shack. Most of the rental places nearby offer daily or weekly rates. Please note, we are not endorsing these companies simply providing the more popular options in the area : Snorkel Bobs in the Kahana Gateway Center, Boss Frogs in the Napili Plaza and Boss Frogs in Kahana Manor. Maui on the Fly for baby equipment rentals – this includes baby beach toys and other beach necessities for children. For more details and information check them out on the web!

This resort’s prime location on the beach in Kahana is perfect. With no neighboring resorts, you truly have the ability to relax and unwind. Onsite amenities include free parking, swimming pool, beach and barbecue grills. The resort is within a 10-minute drive of 3 championship golf courses which are open to the public, beaches, nightlife and even free hula shows. Kahana Sunset is ideal to help create your flawless Maui vacation. Whether you're looking for a relaxing vacation or fun-filled getaway, we can help book your activities or simply provide the perfect quiet and quaint spot to rejuvenate. Watch the whales, listen to the surf hitting the shore, and enjoy front row seats to spectacular sunsets with colors that change second-by-second, all while relaxing with your favorite beverage either on the beach or sitting on your own private lanai.

Plenty of fine dining and family-friendly restaurants are within a mile of Kahana Sunset. If you prefer a stay-at-home meal, BBQ right on onsite or enjoy our fully-equipped kitchen with all the amenities right at your fingertips. For convenience, there is a Napili Market, a grocery store that is about ¼ mile away.

Property is very nice and great location. The unit we stayed in A3 is weathered and dated and no a/c so just be aware of that! Sullivan was very good to work with, There are lots of stairs around resort and no elevators so if you are not very mobile this might not be the right spot for you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just spent a very relaxing week at Kahana Sunset in unit A3. The views were amazing!! This was our 6th stay at the property and our first stay in building A. I had read the previous reviews of this unit before deciding to give it a try. We thought it would be neat to stay just above the turtles, and it was! That was pretty much the only great thing about A3. For a million dollar condo unit we thought it could use a lot more updating and AC too!! I won’t go into all the negatives because overall we had a wonderful week. I agree with all previous comments. We will not be returning to A3 unless some changes are made. At least the bed was comfortable. Oh the things I would love to do to that place!! It is in a gorgeous location and has such potential. Kahana Sunset is our favorite property and we will definitely be back. Management and maintenance was excellent and very responsive.

This is my second stay at Kahana Sunset A3 in two years. The property manager is excellent to work and communicate with. I believe housekeeping does a very good job considering the condition of the unit. Outside grounds are very clean and beautifully maintained. This particular unit is very tired and overall feels dirty. It needs a good refresh starting with the furniture and area rug downstairs. The flooring in this unit is probably original and shows its age. It does not feel clean to walk on with bare feet. Last year, it appeared the carpet had recently been replaced on the stairs and in the bedrooms, but this year, it showed a lot of wear and did not feel clean. The kitchen cabinets and drawers are old and feel dirty. There are very few kitchen utensils and cookware, so cooking can be challenging. During my stay, it rained almost consistently for nine days-sometimes quite heavily. All of the other units have a retractable awning that allowed their guests to still enjoy the outdoors, while A3 doesn't have one. This visit the lack of air conditioning was noted during some very warm afternoons and evenings. The view is wonderful and the location of the condo complex is perfect. I really like this area and Kahana Sunset. I probably will spend more money and stay in an updated unit next time. Wish the owners would sink some money into some basic updates. Some new furniture, shower curtains, and kitchen wares don't cost too much and can make a difference.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was horribly hot. They need some sort of window units. The couple fans they had was definitely not enough. The bathrooms and kitchen is desperate for some updates and cleaning. We were so miserable there we had to go rent a hotel room. The beach was the only thing we thought was good about staying there.

The pictures of the beach on the property are a bit deceiving and we we’re getting bit by something at night so the cleanliness wasn’t great. It was definitely stuffy with out ac. That was mentioned in the listing so it wasn’t a surprise we just expected an oran breeze but it wasn’t well ventilated.

Great location right on the ocean. Had everything we needed but AC would have helped us cool down on those lovey, warm Maui days.

We had the best time!! It was beautiful and safe to allow our kids to run around and explore. The facilities were amazing, the location couldn’t have been better with a short walk to the Market. We are coming back!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a property I would have walked out of immediately if I had a chance upon arrival, without losing thousands of dollars. The property is so dated, and so funky it's ridiculous. And having only ceiling fans on Maui on beach front is just plain stupid. No kitchen amenities, like even bare essentials in cupboard- salt and pepper, oil, etc. A large skillet? The non stick finishes are all scratched on what is there, and they should all be thrown out. The furniture is ragged, wood finish peeling off chair arms. We did call and happily maintenance did come right away, to replace the ancient burnt motor and ceiling fan in the LR. And they did replace a broken faucet and toilet that ran non stop for the first 2 days. Cleaning; sub par; had to get behind the headboard to plug in chargers etc, and it was a filth fest on the floor. Had a hard time sleeping due to that. And the bed is probably 70's original. The common patios are an invasion of your privacy-people walking up to your space to take pictures without asking-if you want peace and quiet and no interruptions- not a good place to stay. Even the patio furniture is so dated you feel like you'll fall through it. The vinyl is baked and cracking. This owner needs to get with the times. I'd be too embarrassed to rent it out- and I own rentals.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. Lovely to be right on the water. The resort is clean and lovely, we especially enjoyed the beach and pool. The condo itself (A3) is in need of some repair (one of the nobs on stove is on order, second bedroom cold facet is too tight, wiring on downstairs ceiling fan is sketchy, there are holes in downstairs flooring) as well as being outdated. However the furniture was fine. It is cheaper than other units on the water but be aware there are more issues than just being out of date. Would definitely stay at and recommend Kahana Sunset but would not return to A3.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit could really use updating. Better bed linens, kitchen knives were dull and useless, master bath toilet needs attention, a lot of small details that could improve the unit. It was not real clean and after being there for 5 days I requested another cleaning, which was an additional $150. The floors were still dirty, the carpets were not vacuumed, the toilets were not cleaned. Very disappointed in that. It was easy to overlook all of that as we were in paradise.

Everyday we were able to watch turtles swimming from the balcony. The location itself was great. The actual condo is dated and they do have ants so NOTHING can be left out, not even a semi dirty dish or there will be ants swarming in the sink. The pull out couch was comfortable. We did not have any issues sleeping at night with not having AC in the unit, Running the fans kept everyone comfortable. I would stay here again. For the price and location it was great for us. We just kept all foods put away and washed any dishes used at the time we used them.

It needs a major upgrade.

Overall great stay. The owner needs a kick up the proverbial and needs to fix a lot of run down things. Property managers were prompt and efficient and helped the best they could, if being a little unprofessional with their communication. But generally speaking would recommend.
