My wife and I spent a week at this beautiful condo. The condo decor and accommodation are fabulous! As far as the location (especially on the ground floor), it was the BEST experience ever! You're able to open the sliding door and enjoy the ocean view, sounds, and breeze. There is no AC, and it was not needed with the cross breeze moving through the condo. The location is exactly what we needed. Not too close to the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas but still close enough to drive to. One huge plus, we were able to see Whales, dolphins, and tortoises, from the back deck. The owners graciously have binoculars to use along with snorkel gear. This condo rental will be our number-one choice for future Maui vacations. Needless to say, super happy with our condo choice!

The view from the lanai was as good as the pictures. We saw whales and turtles each day of our trip. Even though there was no AC, with the windows open there was a lovely cross breeze that kept us comfortable. It did mean keeping the bedroom window open, which points to the hallway not the ocean, but thankfully it was a pretty quiet building. Bed was comfy.

We absolutely loved our stay at Annie’s Surf Shack. That view from the balcony is just amazing, wanted to spend all day, every day out there. The unit was immaculately clean, and super comfortable. The communication from booking all the way through check out was exemplary. You even get a discount booking directly. Great location, and going to Dollies’s Pub for pizza is must!

I had a nice time in my condo at Kahana Reef, Mark was easy to work with and I would consider renting it again.

I stayed at Kahana Reef for 7 nights, and I was disappointed given what the rental unit cost me, I expected more. PROSThe view and location were as advertised. Both beds were functional, and there were also some beach toys for the kids to use!CONSThe unit contains items, furniture, and appliances that are severely outdated and not clean. The fan spewed dirt and dust everywhere. The floors weren't sufficiently clean when we arrived. The couch was absolutely disgusting and needs to be replaced. I'm not sure how someone could rent out this place for hundreds of dollars a night when the couch has tons of disgusting stains on it. I could go on but I think you get the idea.Overall, the experience was a letdown. I wouldn't recommend staying here.

What a spectacular stay on Maui! We were thrilled from the moment we opened the door. We enjoyed every sunrise and sunset, whales breaching, and turtles feeding right from the lanai. You have thought of everything- all of the little things make a difference. We travel frequently and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed.

This is a wonderful unit with gorgeous views. The location was centrally located to beaches, restaurants and stores. Parking was never a problem. Communication with hosts was easy. The unit itself is perfectly stocked with everything you'll need...hair dryers, pots/pans, dishes, glasses, binoculars, beach equipment and comfortable beds! We truly enjoyed our stay. We hope to stay here again soon.

We loved this unit! We have stayed several weeks at Kahana every year for the last 5 years. Kahana Reef is our favorite location. Looking over the ocean every night watching the sunset and every day watching the sea turtles just can’t be matched! Well appointed and very clean. We will be back!

We spent 10 days there in March and it was perfect! The location is beautiful and walkable to everything. We watched the whales and turtles go by every morning off the balcony. The best thing about the location besides the beautiful view is the amazing breeze that blew through every evening. It kept the entire condo cool and comfortable and we slept so well. We would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Kahana Reef is a fabulous, small condo complex with unbelievable views and all the necessary options for a relaxed stay on Maui’s gorgeous west shore. Our condo (208) was amazingly well equipped with everything you need for your cooking needs as well as beach towels & chairs, snorkel gear, ice chest and bamboo beach mats. The pool, lawn chairs and bbq area favorites in the afternoons.The property’s sea wall is a favorite munching spot for the turtles throughout the day!

We thoroughly enjoyed our weeklong stay here. It was a perfect jumping off point for adventures all around the island. Easy access to amenities and just far enough away from the resorts to feel like you had some privacy. Plus we could whale watch right from the balcony!

Satisfaction guaranteed! Over the years,we have stayed in many rentals in the west Maui area. This one bedroom rental is the nicest. We spent many hours on the lanai, so close to the water, watching whales with their babies and Honu turtles. Anything needed during your stay is provided. The unit is spotless. The choice to use AC comes in handy. The property management company was easy to work with and responded quickly to any concerns. We highly recommend this rental.

This condo was perfect for us! Clean, quiet, and within walking distance of convenience store and a few restaurants. The view from the lanai is beautiful (lots of whales, dolphins, turtles, and even a monk seal!) and the sunsets are amazing. There is easy beach access and thoughtful amenities such as beach chairs, towels and a cooler to use for beach days. We can’t wait to go back.

Had a lovely stay here. Cute and cozy, with an amazing view. it's located right on a very infrequented section of the ocean that's shallow and perfect for turtle frolicking.Close to the outstanding Miso Phat for sushi, Hawaiian Village Coffee for coffee and great handheld breakfast, and a couple miles from the amazing breakfast spot, The Gazebo.The ocean sings you to sleep, and the place is decorated and provisioned wonderfully.Highly recommended!

This was a very nice property and the view is spectacular! That alone made it worth every dime. So many whales!!!It really needs the addition of a mini-split A/C system. It offered a single rolling A/C unit that can only be vented where it sits in the living area. It doesn’t cool the bedroom. If you don’t mind sleeping in mid to upper 70 degree temps, it likely won’t be an issue. There is a slatted-glass window next to the sliding glass door. The steel lever that allows for opening and closing was broken off, so the unit has a window open 24/7. We toughed out the warm temps that first night and woke up to the yard maintenance being performed. We knew we needed to seal it off to cool down the place, but to keep the yard dust out too, so we headed to the hardware store and bought painter’s tape and plastic to seal it off from the outside. It helped, but we still had to sleep on the foldout couch for comfortable sleeping temps. We did not request service since the plastic fixed it well enough for us and we wouldn’t feel like we needed to hang around while we waited for someone to address the issue.

Fiirst impressions were the front of building looked a bit rough.However once you walk in the view is spectatular. The condo is well supplied and all the apprehension goes away Easy access for all our activities.You should walk to Captain Jacks for Pau Hana...and on Tuesdays visit the little keiosk across the street for some home baked goodies. Will book this again for our whale watch season

The place was as great as the pictures. But I was astonished at how many whales we were able to see just while looking out from the lanai.

This rental exceeded all our expectations. After staying in a busy part of the island, we were ready for the privacy and relaxation. Every detail of this rental was carefully designed and decorated. We enjoyed walking to a nearby little beach, walking for chinese take-out, and parking at the bottom or our stairs. We watched whales each morning and evening. Everything was comfortable, clean, new, and welcoming. I would highly recommend this rental for a couple wanting to relax and enjoy spending time at a rental. The pictures are accurate and we loved the Boho style. Loved it!

This was our third time staying there. We love it, and have made many friends in the area. The ocean is right there, and you can see the turtles popping up for air right out your window. You can also the see the whales in the distance in the winter months. It is within walking distance to a Whaler's store, (convenience store) if you're okay without a side walk, and close to restaurants and a few shops. Not the best place for kids, we would say it's more suited to adults, due to no railing on the sea wall.

We loved this stay in Maui! From our lanai we saw whales multiple times daily, spotted a monk seal twice, watched a fisherman catch an eel, watched a local turtle swim several times and on our last night saw two small (harmless) sharks feet from the beach!The condo was great! Our only suggestion is for new beach chairs. Those provided were rusted and literally broken. We will stay here again!

If you want a beautiful deck feet from the ocean with expansive views of the water, Molokai, and Lanai; endless witness of whales breaching; falling asleep to the sounds of the waves either from the bed inside or the amazing daybed on the deck; and spectacular sun and moon sets, you’ve found your happy place. Beautifully appointed and wonderful location close to anything you’ll desire.

Great condo and location, our family likes rain or waves sounds at night and the natural waves crashing was perfect. The pool was great, never crowded and perfect temp. Stores and shops close by. Condo was supplied well with everything and nice to haves that you might need but don’t want to buy. We had a great time. A/C would have made it perfect but it was never overbearing or too uncomfortable

Loved the view, Condo was comfortable except for the bedroom. Closet was a mess, needed several fans in bedroom to sleep. The fans that were supplied were falling apart, but I made them work.Did not like that the extra charges from vrbo, and some extra charges made the cost for the Condo, not a fair buy in my opinion.

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The view is amazing! I would come here again for that reason alone. The condo is immaculate. It feels like an upper-end hotel with more space and amenities. The location is great and within walking distance to a local coffee shop and a few restaurants. I would definitely come back to this property again.
