This place is amazing! The host has thought of everything to make for a perfect stay, including information and details leading up to our arrival.The condo is true ocean-front: the views are exactly what you dream of. We watched two sea turtles separately lay eggs on the beach from the deck, and we were able to observe many whales breaching from the deck as well.We will definitely stay in this unit on future Maui trips!

My wife and I spent 14 nights in this unit. The best attribute that we found was the view from the lanai, which was spectacular. The common areas of the Mahana are well maintained. We used the heated pool several times and the BBQ grills. We found the lanai deck was dirty, but we purchased a mop and cleaned that ourselves. The screen and glass slider tracks to the lanai were extremely corroded causing the screen and glass sliders to stick, and one screen often comes off as it needs adjustment. One picture on the website showed 2 lamps in the bedroom, however, there was one lamp when we arrived. The other lamp was in a closet without a shade. We purchased about 100 of housekeeping and home wares to make our 14 day stay more comfortable.

I have been traveling to the Hawaiian Islands almost annually for over 50 years, and this could be the best place in which I have ever stayed. If you are looking for amazing views, a quiet building, a great pool for relaxing, direct beach access, and amazing views of whales, turtles, Lanai, Molokai and sunsets, then look no further. I had planned to cook most of my meals and was pleased to find a kitchen that was incredibly well-equipped. Seriously. This included every appliance I needed, a good set of sharp knives, a coffee grinder in addition to the coffee maker, and plenty more. The unit has beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, a cooler, and everything you could possibly need for your stay. The boardwalk from this hotel down to Kahekili and beyond was so convenient for evening strolls. A great fish market is walking distance. The communication was phenomenal, from the day I reserved the unit until after I had departed from Maui. I really can’t say enough about this unit. I will definitely be back.

The location of the Mahana cannot be beat and an oceanfront condo is very scarce in Kaanapali. With this particular studio condo, everything was great. Maui Paradise Properties welcome instructions on how to get parking pass were good. Entry instructions were good. Kitchen was exceptionally stocked for the amount of space available in a studio. Condo felt spacious. There was plenty of room between bed, dining, and kitchen areas. Highly recommend this condo and Maui Paradise Properties.

The location is amazing ! Grounds and jungle type entry was magical. The view from the 7th floor was our absolute favorite ! While we were there for our 2 weeks stay we got to see Honu, Whales and beautiful sunsets daily from our lanai . The Unit was clean and comfortable and owner was responsive. Special touch with island treats and coffee.

Great place. Great views. As previously stated great views of whales, turtles and dolphins. If you are coming in the winter during the whale time, bring binoculars and you will be amazed!

This unit definitely lives up to the photos and the accolades it's received. The views both down the length of Kaanapali and out to Lanai and Molokai are spectacular from the 9th floor location. And the decor is among the most tasteful and well coordinated that we have seen in the many places we have stayed. The furnishings are very high quality and the kitchen very functional. The unit location at the end of the corridor helped make our stay very peaceful and quiet. Would highly recommend. If we were to identify anything that was less than optimal, the twin beds in the second bedroom were firmer than we would have preferred, but that is undoubtedly a matter of individual preference.

The views from the patio/balcony or the swivel chairs inside (floor to ceiling windows) was magnificent! No need to do a whale watching or turtle tour as they are visible daily from the patio/balcony or living room. Having the sliding glass doors open in the living room and bedroom at night was spectacular! The proximity to activities is ideal. Walkable beaches for quite a ways. BBQ area was nice and food truck options within walking distance. This was a true jem, didn’t want to leave! Can’t wait to come back.

This condo is very old and in need of significant updating and upkeep. The furniture, fixtures, and overall condition are dated, and there are visible maintenance issues.The most serious issue occurred on our third day. After returning from the beach, we opened the door and were immediately hit with an extremely strong medicinal/alcohol-like smell throughout the condo. The odor was overwhelming and clearly coming from the air-conditioning unit. We felt dizzy and unwell and had to open all windows and doors to ventilate the space.We contacted all listed property contacts due to the seriousness of the issue, especially since we were with our children. We were told someone would inspect the unit, so we left the condo for several hours. After more than 4 hours with no update, we followed up and were told someone had already been there and that “nothing was wrong” and no smell was detected, despite the odor being unmistakable.Customer service later told us there were no alternate accommodations and suggested we stay elsewhere and seek reimbursement later. We were promised follow-up the next day, which never happened. Out of concern for our health, we did not use the air conditioner for the remainder of our stay and kept the windows open instead. There was clearly something wrong with the unit despite management denying it.The only positive is the waterfront location and view, though the ocean directly in front is rocky and not suitable for swimming.We will not be returning

The view is definitely outstanding and the location is convenient. What really stands out, however, is the host and the many ways he adds to the experience. The room has been tastefully updated. There has been a lot of thought put into amenities that make the stay nicer and more comfortable such as: L’Occitane toiletries, charging pads at the bedsides, makeup mirror, coffee, Brita pitcher, comfortable seating on the lanai, great mattress and linens, etc. He provides clear and complete information about the rental, follows-up quickly to emails, and leaves handy reminders about WiFi passwords and easy check-out instructions. We have been having more mediocre experiences with VRBO rentals of late (including a stay on the southern end of the island before we arrived here), but this experience has restored our faith in the model. The host has a very good property to work with but it’s his care and attention to detail that makes it really outstanding.

Attentive host, fantastic location that we have been to multiple times now. Incredibly well stocked unit left nothing to be desired accommodation wise. Decor and furniture is not the best for young children so keep that in mind when booking. Fantastic all around; we will be back!

Our stay was incredible! Every need for our use and enjoyment was provided. The views were spectacular and we saw sea turtles and whales every day and all day long. Check in was easy. We will do this again! Our only note is that there is mildew stain in the bathroom shower. It’s so hard to avoid this is Hawaii, but we wanted to note it. Our other comment is that pool and hot tub area are small and dated. With those two notes, we’d still stay again in a heartbeat! The AC worked great, the bed was so comfortable, and we practically lived on the patio. Heaven!

We had such an incredible vacation! The place was perfect for us, and the views—absolutely breathtaking. Waking up each morning to breakfast on the lanai was a highlight, especially with the whales swimming just offshore right from our window or lanai. Strolling (or faced paced walk) down the boardwalk to Black Rock was such a nice walk. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!

Everything was wonderful except the shower and toilet areas. Our stay was to celebrate my 80th birthday. As we age, our strength deteriorates along with our balance. Standing in the beautiful marble-tile shower felt dangerous. There was no grab bar or pad underfoot to steady one. I never took a shower during which I wasn't frightened.

We had a wonderful experience from the beginning. Dondi & Bill reached out once we made the reservation and answered all our questions. The condo is in a great location and when you look out the window, they have gorgeous views, whale watching and surfers.There are many great restaurants, whaler's village is close by and Dukes is within walking distance.We had a wonderful vacation!

Heather was very responsive, helpful and an overall excellent host. The of the ocean are fantastic. You can sit on the balcony and watch the whales, turtles and surfers. So cool! The location is great. Walking distance to shops and restaurants and short driving distance to many attractions. The bed was a bit too soft for me but I have back issues so some people may like it. The only thing that would have been helpful is an ice maker or ice trays for cold drinks. Would definitely stay there again!

Cannot stop talking about how amazing our stay and visit to Maui was. This unit at the Mahana was absolutely beautiful, clean, and with stunning views. The property grounds were also immaculate! The pool/hot tub were great. Beach access was amazing. We also used the grill at the pool and it was super clean. You can tell they care and pay attention to detail. Property manager was easy to text and call after hours when we extended our trip. Only minor thing was 3 of the 4 beach chairs in the unit were broken, but we made 2 of them work! The bed was also quite firm. Will definitely be back and tell our friends and family to book here as well.

This condo is so very beautiful and is exactly as shown in the pictures. So many windows and an amazing Lanai as well so that you can easily sit and watch the beach and turtles below, the ocean and rainbows, the tourists at the mega resorts next door, AND the whales (using the supplied binoculars). This was truly our favorite condo in many years of visiting Hawaii.
Beds were comfortable, showers were great, linens and towels were very nice and everything was so very, very clean. The kitchen was well supplied with very high end appliances and everything you could need to cook at home. (We also ate out quite a bit as the food trucks and several of our favorite local spots are just a short walk away). Having the washer/dryer in the condo was also quite convenient and their beach supply closet was so well organized and well stocked with coolers and chairs and various ocean equipment. We also appreciated having towels for the beach be provided by the pool, this allowed us to have clean towels and avoid bringing sand into the condo.
The Mahana is right next to the board walk that goes all the way to Black Rock, which was super convenient and made it easy to take our morning walks or runs each day.
There is lots of room in the condo (we had 4 people) and the parking was easy with fast elevators up to the 9th floor. The condos on the lower floors looked dark and lacked a good view due to trees, so we were very grateful to be up so high and on the corner. The central A/C was great to have and the beautiful blinds for the windows worked well to reduce the direct sun heating the condo up in the afternoons.
Nothing negative to say about this place at all - we loved our stay and will most definitely be back soon and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for the perfect vacation condo!

We had the best time staying at this Condo. Spectacular views, whales visible from Lanai everyday, Turtles right under the balcony and amazing sunset views. Condo was well equipped with reclining chairs, comfortable beds and AC. The property is well maintained and property managers kept in touch to ensure we have everything we need. I was worried about the comforters as I didnt like the prints in the picture, but gladly they were nice white sheets and upgraded furniture!
Kitchen lacked some basic stuff like coffee, sugar, oil, ziplog, foil paper - which was no big deal but if you plan in cooking in the condo you have to buy all these little items on your own.
We had no complaints and struggled to leave the place. We will definitely be coming back to MAH-419 again!
