This was exactly as shown. The lanai was great with the ocean view & sound of the waves. We discovered that near sunset the sea turtles come up to the seagrass covered rocks below the sea wall to feed. We also saw crabs & the last evening a group of dolphins was playing in the waves. The location is very nice with China Boat right across the street, Dollie’s & The Beach House in walking distance & the Sea House & it’s amazing happy hour just a short car ride away. Would love to stay again.

Had a wonderful stay, really liked the lanai and view. Condo was clean and bed was great. Bathroom could use an upgrade but everything works so not a big problem.
Parking was close and beach was withing walking distance. Hoping to come back next year

We have stayed at Kahana Reef three times and love the location. This unit is a ground floor which we like. I felt the management company was very prompt when things came up. They also left laundry detergent and dryer sheets, which was a nice plus there was also snorkel equipment available. I felt that the posting saying it was recently remodeled, was not quite accurate as it seems like it’s been some time since that actually happened, these units get a lot of use and it definitely felt a little tired. It was not 100% clean when we arrived there was hair in the shower drain and on the wall and I think the bathroom drawers should be wiped out. I also think they should replace the hairdryer and the lanai furniture both were pretty old. We really like Kahana reef because it’s very laid-back and we’ve met a lot of nice people who are around our age which is retiree age. The grounds are nice too.

Nice cozy condo with spectacular views of the ocean from the patio.
Sea turtles and whale sightings daily!!
Small issue Would give it 4 3/4 out of 5 stars rating because cable service was spotty and TV in bedroom didn’t work.
But well worth the money!!

We love this area of the West (some say Best!) Side. The clear view of the ocean to watch whales was perfect. The hot water heater for the unit went out on Friday night of Easter Weekend. We notified the property manager and they had a new hot water heater installed by Saturday evening. We were so grateful.

We absolutely love Kahana Reef. It is the perfect location: close to restaurants and shopping, gorgeous sunsets, whale and turtle watching. We love sitting on the lanai overlooking the ocean. It is absolutely a magical place!

Had a great time. Was a great place to snorkel and see turtles and even whales. Condo was well supplied with all we needed e en beach chairs. Just brought food. Bed could use a new mattress. To soft but thats just my preference. Would come again.

This property was everything we had hoped for and more. Steps to a small beach for easy water access. We watched wales and turtles from our balcony and even had a couple of shark spotting's. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. the Check-In and Check-out process was quick and simple. We would, and hope, to come back again..

The view cannot be beat. Location is excellent, far enough away from the crowds of Kaanapali but close enough to have easy access to everything. Thoughtful touches like power bars and small kitchen appliances, well stocked. Nice accessible beach next door with turtles and monk seals coming up on the beach for a siesta. Lots of whale activity right out your patio door. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here 9 years ago. Beautiful place to watch the whales. We saw so many whales this time. It was unbelievable. No plans to return to Maui, but if I did I would stay here at a third time. The kitchen has everything you need except a pizza pan. A grill right outside the unit to grill on, so convenient.

Photos accurate. Management company friendly and good communication. Safe neighborhood. Only drawback is you need to drive and try to find parking for larger family beaches.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The view of the ocean is as pictured - we could see whales everyday right from the balcony.
We had everything we needed. Just a note, there are no condiments other than salt and pepper, so if you plan on cooking a lot, you might want to pick some up. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed.
The condo was quiet so it was a great place to be at the end of a long day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
The pictures represent exactly what you get! We loved this location. It was quiet, quaint and perfect for our vacation. The balcony has beautiful views of the Pacific. We saw whales and sea turtles everyday. The day bed is magnificent! The only thing I would change is the water pressure but that may be an issue for the entire complex or Maui in general.

The best rental through VRBO we have ever had. Extremely clean with a well appointed kitchen. Great pool and lawn area for our 1 year old. Could not be happier.

…nice location, easy access from parking via elevator to top floor, corner unit with perfect ocean front views of whales and turtles. Well maintained common areas and use of bbq was great. Good value for Maui but kitchen cabinets need update and deep cleaning or paint of floors/baseboards. Bed was big but very hard and went home with sore neck/back..that is main issue for our stay, if any. Would come again, especially if kitchen and mattress updated.

Pretty quiet, yet still close to everything we were looking for. Pool was warm, the views beautiful, and so close to the water to watch the turtles.

The property is very clean and in great shape. The kitchen is very well appointed. And the view! Whales, whales everywhere and cooling tropical sea breeze make this property one of the best int he complex.

This place was amazing! The inside was decorated beautifully and felt cozy. We however spent as much time as possible out on the lanai watching for whales and turtles. It was so close to the ocean we sometimes got splashed by the waves! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we are back in Maui.

Unit was as described, the bed was very comfortable. The complex is quiet and peaceful. The best part was sitting on the patio, having coffee, reading, having dinner and watching the whales.

Our time there was wonderful. The unit was so clean. The lanai glass doors were so spotless my husband tried to walk through them😊Don't know how you get the glass so clean. Pool was convenient for an evening swim. Loved watching the whales. Wish there had been room for washer and dryer in the unit but the complexes's ones were so close, clean and cheap.

Nice and quiet unit right on the ocean offered us an amazing week of whale watching! Close to Kapalua golf and Whalers Village for shopping; I would recommend this condo for adults as the pool and beach area are available but not ideal. We will definitely be back!

We visited in February and loved it. Ground floor unit makes easy access to beach/pool. Watched the whales during the day and walked out to watch the turtles come in at dusk. Would absolutely stay again, perfect location and the hosts were great to deal with. Highly recommend

Had an awesome stay in this second floor condo in the Kahana Reef building. Condo was even better than pictured. Spent many hours sitting out on lanai watching for whales, being entertained by wind surfers and enjoying beautiful sunsets. And having use of the little beach right next door was great instead of having to drive somewhere and hunt for parking. The Tommy Bahama beach chairs supplied were awesome! Condo was clean, well appointed and beautifully decorated! Building is older but very well maintained. The owner Denise was great to deal with and answered any question we had promptly. Loved having a locking screen door on entry door so could get a lovely cross breeze so never felt we needed A/C. Would definitely stay here again if we’re back in the area. ☺️

The listing was very accurate - everything was as stated in the details. The condo was clean and well-cared for, and everything was in working condition! We went in February, which is prime whale-watching season, and we were able to watch whales from the balcony!! It was incredible!! There is no AC (which is disclosed in the listing), but we honestly did not need it because of the fantastic trade winds blowing through from the patio to the bedroom! We will definitely stay here again...the host/agent was very informative and communicated very well! Mahalo!!

I could not begin to express how much we enjoyed this condo. Spectacular ocean views. The lanai was great with a table for four. Sea turtles and whales everywhere. Kitchen was fully stocked with all our needs met. Mini air fryer was a hit. Bed in master was very comfortable. Enough towels for the week we stayed. Walking distance to a market and a few restaurants! We really had the best time. I love cooking and spotting for whales and turtles in the waves. It would have been great to have an EV charger on the property. Overall 5 out of 5 stars.

Great location and facility, but the rollers appear to be gone in the screen door in the back, which makes it very difficult to open and close. The rollers need to be replaced to effectively keep bugs out.

My wife and I have stayed in a least 50+ VRBOs all over the world. Bree and David’s condo was the best. First of all, they are kind and gracious hosts. They kept in contact with us for many months before our stay. When the fire destroyed parts of Maui they assured us that since we were coming in January that we would be fine. Their condo is decorated in a minimalist style, but there is nothing you need that is not there. My wife spent hours every day watching whales swim through the channel. The condo is extremely comfortable and cleaned in a superb manner. We were ready to write an excellent review the moment we walked through the door. It is furnished with a large, clear LG TV that has perfect reception. The furnishings are all comfortable, especially the king sized bed. Parking is easy and the laundry is right downstairs. We could not be any happier than we were to stay in this lovey condo. The views are absolutely stunning all day long. Thank you Bree and David for a remarkable stay

We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed for 5 nights and spent a lot of our time at the property! You can see so many whales, Lana’i, Moloka’i, and beautiful sunsets from the deck. It had everything we needed to make a simple dinner and some breakfast. The location was perfect for being close to lots of things on the island and within walking distance of some beaches. Thank you for a beautiful stay, we will be back!

We have been to the Kahana / Lahaina area of Maui several times, and this condo was by far the most comfortable that we have enjoyed. The view from the 4th floor was spectacular. We saw dozens of whales while sitting on the lanai, and enjoyed the windsurfers and surfers in action.
The kitchen, living space and bedroom were all very comfortable and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves.
The My Perfect Stays support team took very good care of us and made sure that we had everything we needed.
We will definitely try to stay in this unit again when we return to Maui.

The condo is in a good location. The beach to the side is great to snorkel and watch turtles or just sunbathe. Inside the condo is very noisy. The walls and ceilings are thin. My hubby is a light sleeper and woke up often every time someone dropped something or decided to move furniture at all hours of the night. The blinds in the bedroom need to be replaced as there are several slats missing letting in the light from the hallway glow in.
