Welcome to our beautiful beach front condo at Kanai A Nalu, on the quiet side of Maui. Our ocean front unit, located on the second floor, overlooks the grounds lush, tropical garden as well as the crystal blue waters of Maalaea Bay.

During the winter months, you can whale watch from our Lanai. This is when the humpback whales bring their young to the protected waters of Maalaea Bay. It's a sight you will never forget and look forward to seeing for years to come. Another wonderful sight from our lanai are the Catamarans boats sailing by in the early evenings, just as the glow of the Maui sunset with its beautiful orange and purple hues cover the sky. As you sit on our Lanai, sipping a cool drink and nibbling on PuPu's (Hawaiian word for hors d'oeuvres) and basking in the after glow of it all. That my friend is when you'll know you're definitely vacationing in Paradise!!
!
We're located on our own private beach with miles of White Sand that run in either direction. Snorkeling is wonderful at our beach too. With yellow and brilliant blue fish swimming along side you in the coral and rockier area of the water to the right once you've stepped onto the sand. As you leave the sandy beach our guests have access to the outdoor shower. Our cobalt blue tiled swimming pool is complete with a waterfall and is located next to our new double commercial grade gas BBQ's with wrap around counters. Completed October of 2017. We've had rave reviews about it! We also have a dinning area for those who prefer to enjoy their meals outside. It's a fun way to meet your fellow renters as you enjoy the sunset.

We are a five minute walk to the Maalaea Boat Harbor where you can book many water excursions; snorkeling trips to Molokai, Sunset Dinner Cruises as well as dine at the Harbors many Fine & Casual Restaurants and Tourist Shops. WIthin the dining and shopping center you'll find the 'Maui Ocean Center' a #1 tourist attraction with a beautiful aquarium, Miniature Golf and Bumper Boats. It is only a 15 minute drive to Kihei with many shops and restaurants, farmers market, beaches, golf courses and much more.

We've recently renovated our condo, installing granite kitchen counter tops, granite bathroom vanities, cool tiled floors, air conditioning unit with ceiling fans located in dining/living room area/both bedrooms and in master and guest bathrooms. Stackable washer and dryer located INSIDE OUR UNIT and we even supply laundry detergent!! State of the art appliances fit for a King & Queen. Each Bedroom has plantation shutters, ceiling fans, all freshly painted with attention to detail. The master bathroom has a large shower and the guest bath has a shower and bathtub with sliding enclosed doors (not curtains). Each room has its own door with door knob (not dividers or shudders but real doors)

Our Lush Tropical Grounds will Entice You, while the Fresh Floral Air and the Warm Tranquil Waters will Refresh & Energize You! All of this plus the Worlds Most Gracious & Friendly People with that 'True Aloha' spirit await you.
We hope you choose the place we call 'Our perfect little slice of paradise'.

If you’re looking for a quiet slice of paradise, this is it. Conveniently located, but isolated from the hustle and bustle of the congested tourist areas. A short walk to the beach, a lovely pool and grilling area. The grounds and building are well maintained.

We loved our stay at this property. Even thought there is not much to do in Maalea, it is very central as we drove everyday in different directions! Very clean and quiet. Lots of room for 4 people.

Great location with beach access. Place was clean and check-in/out was easy. The condo is very central to most parts of Maui. I'd stay here again, if the opportunity was there. A few things to consider if you are sensitive to noise: The Ma'alaea area can get pretty windy. You will hear planes occasionally flying into Kahului.

We visited Maui during the horrible wildfires that caused much destruction and loss of life in the beautiful island of Maui. God bless all those who were affected. Fortunately for us , we were safe and sound at this condo. Grounds were clean, quiet and well maintained. Beach is clean and walkable. Clear calm water most days. Great pool that was never over crowded. Location is perfect. 15-20 minute drive to airport, Costco, Walmart, Safeway and Target. Close drive to the town of Kiheh where you can find more great beaches, shave ice, sushi, etc. Condo was very comfortable for a family of 4. Lots of dishes, pots and pans and kitchen basics like coffee, spices and all the cleaning supplies you may need. Beds were comfortable and we left our windows open to hear the comforting sounds of the ocean as we slept. Showers were great. We always left the lanai screen open and never felt the need to open the AC. Amazing view from our lanai. Loved spending time watching the sunrise and the stars at night. We really enjoyed our stay! We would recommend highly. DLG

Property is great for aweek stay on Maui. Centrally located so each day youcan go in a different direction. For a longer term stay I'd recommend Kihie or Lahaina, because restaurants abd stires are closer.

The location of this condo is wonderful. We could see many whales right from the balcony. The grounds are kept immaculate with daily gardeners. We liked that this condo had two bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a washer/dryer and was stocked well with kitchen items, plenty of towels, paper towels, napkins, and spices. Our only criticism is that the pillows were needing to be replaced because they were quite stained under the pillow cases, there were knobs missing off of the light/fan switches and off of the toaster. And the outlets were loose so plugs would not stay in them. It felt a little like a college apartment but with an amazing view. We were asked to wash sheets and towels before we left, with a checkout time of 10am. That was really the only thing that kind of stressed us out to wake up early enough to do all of that before we had to leave, while also getting ourselves packed up.

This is a great condo for up to 4 people. The kitchen is amazingly stocked with spices, every pot and pan you could imagine, serving platters, coffee pot that uses keurig pods and can also use ground beans and fill the 13 cup pot! Toaster, waffle makers, blender, cutting boards, ....everything you could ever need. There are oodles of beach goodies - some sorkle equipment, 2 beach chairs, pool noodles, a.coolerand a few boogie boards! With the breeze coming through we almost never had to use the A/C. Only once, we turned it on. The view is amazing and we've already seen whales in the cove! The cleaning staff work so hard to keep the grounds clean and enjoyable. Sooo much walking beach, just out the door. I honestly have nothing bad to say. This was a wonderful stay that we will do next year when we come back! Mahalo for allowing us to use your gorgeous condo!

It was an awesome stay, for the price. Some minor issues were not immediately addressed and there was currently no direct beach access. Apparently, the sun doesn't set where it could be seen, at least during the time we stayed. However, I enjoyed the sun rise over the mountains, the breeze coming thru the unit was refreshing during the day. It was a great place to go back to at the end of days full of outings. Thanks for the supplies and equipment.

My family and I had a great time and we’re extremely happy with the property and the location. We were immediately blown away by how accurate the pictures were but pictures don’t do it justice. The view of the ocean out the slider was awesome and the balcony was perfect for morning coffee. Would gladly stay there again if given the opportunity.

The location was beautiful and quiet. Lovely breezes kept the home cool without the need for AC. Central location without the typical noise that come with a resort.

The property is beautiful! The views of the ocean can’t get any better. There were 3 of us staying and they was more than enough room in the extremely clean and well equipped unit. All the towels, 2 smaller coolers, umbrellas, 1 chair, several pairs of water shoes.. the list goes on for beach equipment you could need. There wasn’t anything we were in need of. The elevator is right next to the entrance of the condo which was convenient and you didn’t hear any noise. You can walk to the beach park just a few minutes away which was beautiful. There wasn’t direct beach access, but we climbed down the sandbags anyways (shh..). The pool and bbq area were maintenance every morning and never over crowded. The location is a great central location to access all of the island. 20-40 min depending on the time of day to Lahaina and Kaanapali and no more than 20 minutes to Kihei. If you need any last minute groceries etc, there isn’t a spot for that nearby. But in the aquarium shopping center there are places to have breakfast, lunch, dinner and an all day happy hour. It’s about a 15 minute walk and a few min drive. Overall the unit and and location were great for our beautiful Maui vacation! We will recommend to friends and family!

Very affordable for Maui. The property is well kept to include the grounds. Perfect place for whale watching. We viewed them from the lanai each morning and afternoon. I would only suggest that there should be a TV in the guest room. You will not be disappointed in this property.

Nice launching pad for our Maui vacation. Very comfortable accommodations. Ideal for two young adult kids with their own beds in one bedroom and a queen bed for us in ours.

This is our 5th time staying at this complex and have had a different condo each time. This property was somewhat dated and towards the lower end of the 5. I can say the price reflected this as it was also lower compared to the other properties. Information from VRBO was also dated. condo did not have some of the items listed (CO and smoke detectors, fire extinguishers) and the swimming pool code is incorrect. My wife got locked in as she followed someone in but was the only one when leaving and could not get out. Washing machine was loud and made sure to do laundry in the afternoon as not to wake up neighbors. There was some beach accessories but no chairs or mats. Microwave and dishwasher were newer. Door handle on oven was very loose. Master bed was comfortable. View was very good along with the trade winds. Overall because of the price would consider it again.

This is a very well equipped unit, with everything you need for a terrific stay, right down to the spices in the kitchen. The two bedrooms and two baths were perfect for two couples, but would be great for a family too. The beach is right outside your door. If you like beach walking, you can do so for miles on the longest undeveloped beach in Maui. Maaleaea is close to everything. It's 20 minutes to the airport 20 minutes to Lahaina. The development is quiet and laid back. If you want bustling nightlife, not so much. But If you want a relaxing vacation in paradise in a well equipped affordable two bedoom place on the beach, rent this unit!

Condo had great views of the ocean and pool. Well equipped with all reqd amenities for family. The housekeeper Debbie was very responsive and attentive as well.

This condo only has a wall A/C Unit in the living room area. The wall unit is on a timer. The breeze going through the place is awesome and for the most part keeps you cool at night but during the day it can get a little warm. Otherwise for the price I thought this was a beautiful location and the scenery was breath taking.

This property was amazing. Quiet condo area in the harbor district of Maalaea Bay. The condo was comfortable and clean and had an amazing view from the lanai. The property was clean and with walking distance of the beach. The private beach is not crowded and offers perfect waters for swimming and boogie boarding.

Great location being in the middle of everything. Easy to get to all points of the island from here. The beach was just right for me and my kids. Condo was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed.

Comfortable, affordable and convenient. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Due to COVID there was a limited amount of guests allowed in the pool . Beach is not directly in front of the property due to the constant high tides. a few little things that I haven’t ran into before at any other Vrbo listings. Maybe a Maui thing but the beds weren’t made and the linens piled on the bed .I had to go empty the dishwasher from previous guests and line all the garbages myself. Tons of water toys and kitchen supplies. I might add that this might be an older crowd community however people with children filled this place up .

This was a wonderful experience! The location is in the middle of the island and convenient to get to island attractions. The condo was comfortable, clean and had all amenities of home. The beautiful view from the patio and the quaint beach was heaven! Thank you so much! Will stay here again in the future!

My family loved the secluded property and enjoyed our first stay in Maui. The only negative thing I can say is that we thought, because of the description online, that we would have beach access from our property. Other than that, it was a great stay.

The atmosphere was wonderful at this location. The beach was never crowded and we always found a lounge chair at the pool or on the lawn. Very central location to everything we had on our itinerary. This was also a very quiet place in the evening and night. I especially liked the open windows and doors with the breeze.
