Thank you for looking at our listing! Our ground floor condo has 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms including 1 King bed, 1 Queen bed, 1 Queen sofa sleeper, 2 Twin rollaways Sleeps 8. It is DIRECT OCEANFRONT & BEACHFRONT with Amazing views!!! Private ocean view patio! This unit is immaculate and pride of ownership is evident throughout. Maalaea village is a gem with its central location and its fantastic trade winds. They provide a cooling breeze that keeps the temperatures just right.

Beautifully landscaped grounds with a pool and BBQ. Any stress you have will melt away. Slip into the pool and enjoy the ocean view while you relax in the Maui sun.

Perfect central location to go explore the island! Or take a day to just relax to catch a glimps of green sea turtles rolling in the surf or bobbing up for air, even sunning themselves on the beach. In the winter months (Nov-April) you will have a front row seat to breaching whales as they come back to the islands to give birth, nurse, and play with their young!

At the end of our cul-de-sac is Sugar Beach, 2-3 minute walk from the unit. Sugar Beach has the longest stretch of sandy beach on Maui. 5 miles of secluded sand to walk, run and beachcomb. Sugar Beach is very secluded and hardly ever has crowds. Sugar beach is protected from the road by the bird-filled-ponds of Kealia Wildlife Refuge. It is so amazing to walk this beach and literally feel like you have it all to yourself!

A 5 minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to Maalaea Harbor where you will find a small grocery store, gym, deli, restaurants, and the Maui Ocean Center (Maui’s #1 tourist attraction), the Pacific Whale Foundation, miniature golf, shopping and most of the ocean activities available on Maui (whale watching, sunset dinner cruises, deep sea fishing & snorkeling tours). Centrally located Maalaea, makes getting anywhere on the island easy. Approximately 15 minutes from the airport, a 5 minute drive south and you are in Kihei and a bit further, the resorts of Wailea. 20 minutes to the West is Lahaina. You couldn’t be in a better location to explore all Maui has to offer!

Kanai A Nalu 2 Bedroom Ground Floor Reviews

The property was in a good location on the beach with great views and centrally located. The unit is comfortable and spacious for a 2 bedroom place. While everything was clean, overall the carpet and furniture were just very worn with multiple stains on the carpet and sofa. It definitely isn't "immaculate" as the description would suggest but it was perfectly fine for what it was and as a reasonable price point. It was nice having beach towels and chairs which was very convenient. The hosts were very communicative and kind - we appreciated their flexiblity and compassion.

This property is a wonderful sanctuary right in central Maui. Lots of elder folks here, not the best fit for small / young families (elderly locals not too keen on the little ones) but the apartment / location is amazing and the folks running the VRBO were AMAZING

This was a great location! We loved being right on the beach and it was central to most things to do on the island. Great communication with hosts and everything went smoothly!! Would stay here again!

We liked the feel of being away from all the tourists. We enjoyed the quiet private type feel. There were some roaches as soon as we checked in the house! We. let the owners know right away. He said they had just had the place sprayed and would contact the building manager. My husband went and bought bug spray and he sprayed the whole area i around the condo. We didn’t see anymore during our stay. Very close to the beach and beautiful views!

The complex location was perfect for us. We wanted quiet walkable area with easy access to all areas of island. The unit was comfortable for four a bit tight for six adults. The only AC unit is in main living area, so in order to cool down bedrooms and keep humidity bearable it was super chill in living room. We had a bit of a learning curve with refrigerator; warning follow the instructions left and have someone look at it each night or you will wake up to a puddle and warm food! The pool was really nice as is the property. We saw whales from the lawn! The unit is fully accessible for easy wheelchair or scooter entry. The grounds have curb cuts and ADA parking spots. Sounds from children and roosters were loud in courtyard but the Homeowner Association was strict about noise levels and pool behavior which we really appreciated. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks for a wonderful week!

Very functional and clean unit. It was nice to be located in an area that made for quick sight seeing of different areas of the island. It was a short drive to kihei, Lahaina, Paia, and Wailea. We never walked to the harbor but it was less than a mile with a few restaurants and some cute shops. The hosts were very pleasant to communicate with and checked in with us upon arrival and during the stay as well. The unit also had a pack n play which I didn’t see on the listing so it made for even easier sleeping arrangements than we had expected for our kids. The pool was very clean and never crowded. The beach access was down a couple properties but great for digging in the sand or dipping feet in the waves. The whales were visible from the courtyard. So cool! Parking was always very easy. Having access to the beach towels and chairs right at the unit as well as some shared kids beach toys available near the pool made for a very family friendly visit. We would happily stay again. It was a great place, especially for the price!

Overall, the condo was ok to stay in. Beds were comfortable, but sheets were stained. Furniture is outdated and not as bright and new as in the pictures. I let the owners know of a few details that they needed to pass on to their cleaning crew. All were found upon arrival and I took pictures. - both toilets were dirty (back of seats and attachments) and we found hair on one of them. - hair was found in two bath towels in bathroom adjacent to Queen bedroom. - mold on ceiling of bathroom in king bedroom. - thick layer of dust above bathroom door in king bedroom - layer of dust on concrete wall behind bathroom door in King bathroom. - white towels were dingy looking. Cleanliness was a big factor in our rating. We would not return here.

The pictures and description of this condo are accurate. We could get to the sandy beach with the kids and the pool was lovely (though not heated if you are there during cooler weather). The beds were comfy, even the hide a bed. This is a place to relax and put your feet up between excursions or walks on the beach. The extras for beach time were great for the kids. The only improvements would be to add some chairs (four only around the table) for a family meal (even if just four stack/folding chairs) and to check the pots/pans/teapot before using as sometimes prior guests really do not clean them well. Loved the host and hostess quick response to our questions, even bringing us a new coffeemaker the first day! Had a great stay. Would choose them again!

This condo had everything we needed and was central to the many attractions we visited while on Maui. Loved being on the ground floor with easy access to the pool and snorkeling at the beach (saw sea turtles and so many types of fish!). The condo is comfortable and we all enjoyed walking the beaches nearby that connect to the state park and wildlife preserve . Would recommend this place for families seeking a base with amenities for a well-rounded Maui experience.

Great place right near the beach. We could see whales from our back porch! (February 2022) There is also a nice beach park nearby with a 3 mile-long beach about a half-block away. Walking distance to aquarium and several sea excursions. We did the Calypso snorkeling trip and walked to our boat. I would definitely stay here again.

The condo was well equipped and perfect for us and our 3 kids. We all slept great and enjoyed the sunrise every morning. I loved the beautiful beach that was just 2 minutes away from the condo. Great place to stay.

We visit Maui at least once a year, every year. This place was far beyond our expectations. We loved being so close to the water, and being far enough away from the business of Kihei. This condo was so spacious and being a ground level unit not only gave us the feel of added space, but gave us the security or safety we needed with our toddler. Though we know for sure we’re going back to Maui, we can only hope this place will be available again.

We had a fabulous time staying at this smaller condominium. The pool, beach side options and patio are all lovely with gorgeous sea views. The condo was clean, comfy and nicely updated. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials, and we had plenty of beach chairs, towels and toys for the whole family. We would love to stay there again.

Property is very neat and clean. All supplies were easily available. It felt like a home. Good location. Water front property with swimming pool. Great place to relax.

Maybe I had higher expectations. The location near Maalaea Harbor was really good. The condo was located near the courtyard and great proximity to the pool and BBQ’s. Unfortunately you couldn’t play in the courtyard, no ball throwing or frisbee allowed. No floating devices in the pool. Beach access was good and you could walk for miles on a sandy beach. Condo has carpet which is stained and looks dirty. Screen door has no latch and swings open with the breeze. Upon arrival water was on the kitchen floor because someone turned the temp up to 42. Beds were very comfortable with old inexpensive linens. Towels too were also inexpensive. We had to buy beach towels because only 3 were there when 6 of us arrived. Kitchen had poor amenities. Dishes didn’t match and were scarce. 4 bowls and only two matched as was the same for the plates. We had to buy a non-stick fry pan to make eggs. Pots and pans were old and outdated. Like I said, I may have had too high expectations. Overall probably a 2.5 star experience. Location a 5, everything else missed the mark for the cost in my opinion. I know it’s been a tough year but dishes and some better amenities would be a small investment. Good luck, enjoy the beach, HAVE FUN.

We had such a great time staying here! The place is on a quiet road on a quiet part of Maui still within walking distance of shopping, restaurants and right on the beach! Being on the main floor gives you easy access to the amenities of the courtyard and pool plus to your car! We loved that there is a beach park just a few hundred feet away from the property and taking walks either on the beach or to the nearby Shopping was great. The beds are comfortable except for the hideaway bed, I didn’t sleep on it but my 21 yr old and 16 yr old sons did and only complained about sore backs. Having older teens and young adults, this was their only complaint, And frankly, this didn’t bother me. :) Check in and out had great communication! We arrived on the red eye so we had to wait around to get checked in but we’re allowed to check in early with some accommodation of the owners and cleaners! Just super people to rent from! Overall I’d stay here again without hesitation.
