Enjoyed every minute of our vacation celebrating 44 years of marriage. Saw lots of humpback whales, sea turtles and even blessed with a monk sea swimming by our condo. The area has lots of water opportunities with a car you can ride to the road to Hana or visit the rain forest

Really enjoyed our trip celebrating our granddaughter’s graduation. The view was amazing and the location great. We walked to Dukes restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Very good food and ocean view. We would definitely stay here again.

Couldn't ask for a better view. The beach is very close, but there are a lot of rocks a short ways out so when we wanted to swim we walked about 3/4 mile south. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Clean and comfortable. I slept in the king size bed and my son on the hide-a-bed, which worked fine.Initially had a little trouble getting a response from Vacasa the first time I tried, but after that all was good. One thing I would keep in mind: The only real complaints I could find online had to do with the A/C not working. Worked fine for us, and with those big west-facing windows it was running all day long and at best kept it at about 76, which was fine. But if it hadn't been working it would have been really hot. I inquired before we left to make sure it was going to be working and was told it was, and that it was just serviced. I saw some kind of a note in the condo that said A/C would be unavailable May-June-July. Seems unbelievable. I wouldn't stay there without A/C. But as I said, didn't affect us. When we left there was a sticker on the door that said the A/C was being serviced that day. So something is very odd about the A/C, and I would recommend making sure it is in service. But our stay went well and I really don't have any complaints.

Great location, property is exactly as advertised. We saw whales every day, turtles swimming by, and even a pod of dolphins. We snorkeled most mornings and spent the afternoons reading or snoozing under the palms by the ocean. Great restaurants nearby and the Maui fish market for cooking in. Can't wait to return

My husband and I have stayed in Maui 6 times, this has been our favorite place! The views from the condo were amazing! We saw multiple whales and turtles every single day. They provided binoculars which was great to watch the whales. The condo had everything we could have needed, well stocked with pots, pans, Tupperware for leftovers, utensils etc. they had beach chairs and a perfect size cooler for the beach. We loved being right on the ocean and being able to view it inside or outside on the lanai. The only 2 things we wished this had was an umbrella for the beach, and small tongs for bacon. But that’s being super picky! We plan on coming back and plan on staying here again :)

This condo is worth it for the view alone, a sweeping vista of the Pacific and the islands of Lanai and Molokai, with whales (in March) and turtles swimming in the incredibly clear water. The condo is also very comfortable, clean and well equipped, and the property is beautifully maintained, with nice touches, such as a pair of binoculars for whale watching. We particularly enjoyed watching the sunset from the pristine hot tub, which was cleaned and refilled every morning.

Lemme start with my needing a vacation so bad I was totally disorganized and missed the welcome message—even though I said “ok thanks” after receiving it—but found the place easily, checked in, and settled in just fine. The host was super responsive and friendly when I missed everything, and the unit was superbly appointed and in a great location. We’d gladly stay there again!

We walked into the unit and were immediately greeted by whales splashing their aloha out in the channel. The unit is wonderful, great location. We’d love to return.

The condo was immaculate, and had with just enough basic goods to make our first day very enjoyable: coffee, olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee filters, paper towels, beach equipment. The property itself is immaculately maintained with wonderful facilities for grilling at night. The views are as though you were on a cruise ship! Can’t recommend the place enough what a wonderful vacation we had.

This condo was absolutely perfect and in a great location! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The view from the balcony was incredible...we saw lots of whales breaching and spouting and we saw a big turtle. The sunsets were breathtaking too! The kitchen was well stocked, the bed was comfortable and the condo was very clean. The bonus was the access to the balcony from the living room and bedroom. Also, the on-site concierge, Carla, was very helpful and friendly. We went to Duke's Beach House for several meals, since it's a close walk and the view there is awesome. We went scuba diving, snorkeling, took a tour of the Ocean Organic Vodka Distillery (another awesome, panoramic view) and did some shopping in Whaler's Village. We also attended a luau at the Hyatt Regency, down the road. A few other restaurants we enjoyed were Japengo (at the Hyatt Regency), Sea House (at Napili Kai) and Hula Grill (in Whaler's Village). They all had fantasic views! I highly recommend this condo and I hope to go back soon!!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! It was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was very well stocked. While everything was perfect, the very best thing was the view! It was absolutely spectacular. We were able to see so many whales and turtles. We have traveled a lot and this is by far our very favorite place. So peaceful and beautiful!

The unit has the most amazing panoramic view. The beds were comfortable, the views were amazing…. We saw whales, dolphins and seals from the balcony!!! I have never seen a seal in Hawaii. Great snorkeling right out front with tons of turtles. My only negative was a broken toilet that required 6 of us to use one bathroom x 2.5 days. Wasn’t the best communication, but I’m chalking it up to it being spring break and things being crazy. Would definitely stay here again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The communication with property management was excellent, as was the check in/out procedures. The location was also excellent and the grounds were beautiful and meticulously manicured.Our only concern was that the room was advertised as newly renovated and classified as a 5 star, which is a stretch. We would definitely consider going back for reasons mentioned above, but we don’t feel the add accurately describes the unit.

This oceanfront condo, with a balcony overlooking the ocean, was not only extremely reasonable for the location, it was quiet and relaxing. Just a short walk to Dukes, one of our favorite places to eat and drink. If you are taking children, I would recommend one of the resorts by Dukes, that has a water slide, multiple pools, and multiple hot tubs. However, you will definitely pay more for the extra amenities. I will definitely book the same condo again because of their great price and location!!!!! Thank you for contributing to an amazing vacation!!!

Strikingly beautiful in design, decor, and location, this was the perfect accommodation for an extraordinary week in Maui. From watching whales and turtles from the lanai with our morning coffee to the sunsets at cocktail hour from the living room, this place reminded you every day that you were in paradise. No other place compares. Mahalo!

We really loved this condo; views, location, and layout. It is accurately depicted in the pictures and there were no surprises. Walkable to everything you could need: grocery store, car rental, cafes, restaurants and so much more. We will book here again without a doubt. We watched so many whales, turtles and rainbows just about every morning. The blood moon setting and casting a moon shadow in the wee hours was captivating. All around A

We were so impressed with this property! The unit was exceptional and exceeded our expectations. The view was so amazing! We watched whales spouting and breeching every day. Seaturtles were constantly swimming right in front of our balcony. The furnishings were beautiful and kitchen was well stocked. The only complaint was the mattresses could stand to be replaced. Would definitely rent again!out in front.in the front of turtles

This condominium exceeded all of our expectations. The location on the north end of Kaanapali beach is wonderful, away from the more crowded and busier resorts. Food trucks are a couple-minute walk away, making for easy dinners on the lanai which provided unrivaled sunset views. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the family room and bedroom kept the ocean always in view. The sounds of waves breaking was a soothing way to sleep each night. A full kitchen and nearby grocery store make eating-in simple. Duke’s restaurant is just a few steps away on the beach boardwalk for a nice sit-down dinner. And the boardwalk extends all the way past Black Rock to the southern part of Kaanapali, making Whaler’s Village and easy 45-minute stroll. The condominium is the perfect place to stay on Maui.

This was our first trip to Maui and we could not have asked for a better location and experience then at the Mahana in Kaanapali. Every morning, we woke up to see whales breaching from the bedroom view. The condo had amazing views, was extremely clean, and very well appointed. The hosts, Crystal and Jim, have thought of everything that you would need to enjoy your stay in Maui and are very good at communicating with you during your stay. We will definitely be staying at this condo again.

You can’t get closer to the ocean than this! We had a great stay in this unit on the 8th floor. The host did an amazing job providing amenities in this unobstructed ocean view unit. They included: start up toiletries, quality toilet paper, backup towels, laundry soap/dryer sheets, kitchen soap/sponge, zip lock bags, extra trash bags, equipped kitchen, welcome snacks and spirits, basic office supplies, games, binoculars, beach chairs/noodles, cooler, and beach towels. We had everything we needed for our stay! It was a short walk to the beach, Dukes and the boardwalk. We will definitely return to this unit!

We came to Maui for our 25th anniversary and loved everything about our stay here! The views are absolutely gorgeous from the condo - we saw whales, sea turtles and rainbows right from our balcony. The location was super convenient - there were many restaurants within walking distance (including an incredible food truck court), and we walked down the beach to snorkeling spots and more. The condo was very nice and well-stocked, just as described.

Have stayed in several Mahana units over the years and 1211 is by a mile the nicest, albeit by far the most expensive. That said, we’ve already rebooked there for next whale season. It’s so luxurious, the double lanai is such a usable outdoor living area. We would sit for hours watching whales perform…can’t wait to return!
