This unit was as advertised and we loved our stay on Maui. We would rent this unit again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at this beautiful and perfectly furnished oceanfront condo. The owner (Diane) provided us with everything we needed and more to celebrate our wedding anniversaries (my wife and I - 36 years) and my sister and her husband's 38 year anniversary (including some arrival gifts - fresh whole pineapple and box of delicious Hawaiian chocolates). The location of the condo was perfect for the things we wanted to do. (a few minutes from the Maui Aquarium and Maui snorkeling tour boat, restaurants, shops and more). Also, it was only 16 mins away from the airport. We really appreciated Diane's great communication and detailed information (of Maui attractions, restaurants, grocery stores, shops, etc).. The condo is only 10 steps away from the ocean and the ocean view from her condo was amazing. We had a wonderful 5 star experience at Diane's condo. Thank you very much Diane!

Owner is wonderful and provides great communication before and during stay. Condo had everything we needed and more! Beach access is a short walk and you can enjoy lounging on the patio at surf side. Great location for all things on island.

This was a perfect place for our week of adventures in Maui. Central location, easy parking, quiet and secure. Ground floor is super convenient and felt private and safe. Owner was very helpful with our questions and it made for a great vacation. Would do this again for sure!

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.

We was a lovely place and clean. There was an air conditioner in the living room area, but the bedrooms did not have air. We were there the first week in November. It was hot and humid, so the bedrooms and bathrooms were a little too warm for us. Everything else was great though. It is well furnished with things that you might need for your vcation. Overall it was a great place to stay.

I rented this place for a month, so that I could share the joy with friends. It exceeded expectations! The view from the porch was breath-taking, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night. (And for occasional naps.). The neighborhood was just right—not too many people and little to no traffic. The property manager went above and beyond! She collected our mail, and sent out a worker (also wonderful) the same day to fix something…It was rectified so efficiently, I cannot even remember the issue! I highly recommend this place!! Thank you for sharing!

We have been fortunate enough to be able to come to Maui more than a few times, staying in Kanai a Nalu and also neighbouring condos. This one is just perfect. So nice inside and decor and location is ideal. Will be back.

We had an incredible stay at this Ma’alaea condo! The breathtaking ocean views were the highlight of our trip – waking up to the sound of waves and enjoying stunning sunsets from the balcony made our vacation truly memorable. The pool was pristine, offering a refreshing retreat on sunny days. The cleanliness of the condo exceeded our expectations; it was impeccably maintained, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail truly stood out. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy bedrooms, everything was thoughtfully arranged. Our overall experience was awesome, thanks to the seamless communication with the owner and the convenient location. We highly recommend this condo for anyone looking for a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Can’t wait to return to this little piece of paradise!

Our host Pam was delightful and was very communicative. Her email with how everything worked was detailed and amazing. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook, including some limited spices which is always nice. The lanai overlooks the water and there is an amazing beach, a very short walk to the South.. Beds are comfortable and linens are plentiful. There are beach towels, a couple of chairs and a cooler you can use to go to the beach. All of these things are so helpful when you travel far away and don't know what to bring or having to buy things when you get somewhere. We look forward to coming again at some point. . This was the first time for my grandson and my husband although my daughter and I have been here many times. The people are amazingly friendly. There's enough open to accommodate everybody. Things are expensive, which has nothing to do with the condo. But we did bring some things in our luggage to supplement grocery buying. Support Maui if you can.

This condo was so perfect for me to be closer to my co-workers while we are in Lahaina helping with disaster relief. The condo was so great, I was able to secure for the next month. The views from the condo are stunning, you have the beach with the turtles at night playing around, the crashing waves that just set you in relax mode. Then you have the home feel if you just want to sit and relax, but not be outside. This place and the complex was beyond anything that I could have ever imagined. Its right on the marina, so when you take a tour its right down the road, which is really nice after that long day out on the water. I would recommend here to anyone who would ask me where to stay on Maui.

Perfect condo with everything we needed. It's a quiet area. The pool was perfect. We love having the beach close by and being able to walk to Tantes for dinner. The owner had heard from previous guests that the mattress was defective and she immediately had it replaced. We can't wait to stay there again!

We came with our 3 kids for 6 nights. The condo is great- well equipped with so many things: booster seat, boogie boards, sand toys, etc. lots of fans since the rooms don’t have AC. There isn’t beach access from the grounds and from some of the pictures, it looked like there was going to be. That was a bummer. The beach access was a short walk down the street to the beach park. There is not much near there as far as food (not really walkable) but it is located centrally in the island which was convenient for all of the driving we did.

November 2023

The lising photos do not do jusice to the condo. The furnishings and decor are exceptional, yet the condo is very comfortable and felt like home. The kitchen was well stocked for meal prep. Although Maui is going through a tough time, there were no shortage of things to do and we went on several excursions. The condo is centrally located which made travel to events simple. There are a few shops, restaurants, boating excursions, and the Maui Ocean Aqrarium at the Maalaea Harbor which are within walking distance from the condo. Although there is a sea wall directly in front of the condo, the access to the beautiful beach is only steps away with great swimming, snorkeling, and long beach walks available. The condo is stocked with beach equipment making beach days very enjoyable. We were sorry to leave but definitely will be back. Thanks Todd and Cindy for sharing your beautiful condo and for all the valuable communication leading up to and during our stay.

This property is a great place!!! The location is perfect for seeing all parts of the island. We enjoyed sitting on the Lani watching the turtles and listening to the waves hit the wall below. We were able to walk from the complex directly to miles of beach. I highly recommend getting this place if you are going to Maui. Aloha

Our family thoroughly enjoyed Dianes condo. The location was perfect, both quiet and convenient. The views from the lanai are epic. The 2 bedroom 2 bath groundfloor unit is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The welcome gifts are a super sweet touch too. Diane is a wonderful hostess and we communicated frequently. We could not have asked for a better vacation.

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

We had an amazing time there. Our apartment was beautiful clean, the pool was amazing, and the ocean beautiful. We spent our mornings surfing snorkeling repelling and sightseeing. We spend our late afternoon and evenings down by the pool and by the ocean visiting with other guests, barbecuing, and swimming. It truly was the best vacation I've ever had ❤️❤️❤️

This was a fully stocked condo so that only food I’d cook myself was needed. Great views, noisy surf but it’s the ocean! Terrific beds, bath, and decent if not anything parking. Cool pool and short distance to the rest of Maui, sans Lahaina. Don’t attempt to go up there. Not ready to receive visitors despite what Gov Green says.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My son and I really enjoyed staying at this condo complex. Condo completely remodeled with modern kitchen and great air conditioning. Very clean. Thanks for coffee makers - can't do the day without my coffee. Complex located in good location for traveling around the island. We met so many local people who had suffered from terrible fire in Lahina. Our prayers go out to them every day. Highly recommend Mama's Fish House in Pailia. And Maui Winery up-country. Would recommend to anyone coming to Maui. Property Management very easy to work with. Thanks everyone for a really wonderful vacation.

The condo was fine. The king size bed needs to be replaced. The side of the bed next to the window felt like you were going to fall out of the bed. I had to sleep partly on my husbands side just so I could get some sleep. Everything was pretty much as expected. The only other negative was that the washing machine really needs to be cleaned. Even with those two things, we enjoyed our stay and liked the area. Very laid back and quiet,

We had an awesome stay in Maalaea together with friends of us. The appartement is very clean, nicely furnished, absolutely comfortable and has a great ocean-view to the ocean. The location in the southern middle of Maui is perfect to explore the island without having to drive that long in any direction. The beach next to us was nothing but marvelous, we even saw see turtles many times!

We enjoyed staying here, but almost couldn't get in! The lockbox was extremely problematic, but luckily we pushed on the door, and it opened! There were supposed to be 2 keys inside, in addition to one in the lockbox, but there was only one. We did get the lockbox open eventually, and reported the problem, but were never contacted. As for the unit itself, it was very comfortable, with a great view, but lighting in the living room and one of the bedrooms was really not sufficient for reading. We did love the decor, and the kitchen was fairly well-equipped, beds comfortable and a/c & fans kept the place cool. The dishwasher didn't work.

We had just purchased a unit in the same property but ran into some timing issues with the remodel. At the last minute we were able to secure a stay in this unit. The unit is well maintained and we found everything to our liking. The property management company was great to work with. I'd recommend this unit and this property to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal location to watch the sunrise and the sunset just a few yards fro.m the ocean

We had originally cancelled our plans to Maui as we were supposed to be staying in Lahaina. Then we considered going to another island but after hours of research and thought we thought that supporting Maui and staying on another part of the island felt like the right thing to do. I was thankful to come across Diane’s listing and booking a pretty last minute stay. We had an amazing time staying here and loved the central location. It seemed to be easy to get anywhere. Everything was no more than 15-30 min away. You cannot beat the view! The sound and sights of the ocean soothes my soul! I didn’t need to sleep with any noise machine or loud fan because the sound of the ocean was enough to lull me to sleep. Loved all the amenities like the beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys for our little guy. Loved the smart TVs I’m every room! Sugar Beach next door was amazing! Thank you Diane :)

I loved this condo! I could hear the waves crashing all night from the master bedroom. Iys a great central location for those who want to visit all of the island by car. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if u like to walk everywhere bc there’s not a whole lot walking distance but I loved the location & the condo. Stephanie was easy to get a hold of when I had a question. We truly loved staying here & plan to again!

Screen on patio didn't work/slide well, so we couldn't keep the patio door open, TV in extra bedroom didn't work. Not sure if it was plugged in, didn't want to try to move the dresser. washer stunk, should be away to leave the door open when not in use. Not enough cups, never had to use the dishwasher, as we washed our cups out each use.
Pam V.
September 2023

This unit is right on the ocean. Beautiful views and you can almost always spot turtles from the lanai. Property is well maintained. Check in was super easy due to prompt communication with Pam. The central location is great because you can quickly drive to Kihei, Kahului or west towards Lahaina. I can’t tell you how nice it is to be able to get to Costco or wallymart in just 15 minutes yet still be staying on the other side of the island. Kihei is also 15 minutes or less. We would happily book this unit again. We also loved that there are 2 bathrooms in the unit. Thanks Pam and Bruce!

We are former owners of another unit in Kanai A Nalu. The location of theses condos is the best in all of Maui. They are central to nearly everything! This unit is extremely well maintained.

The views...well, those are life changing! Kate's unit is amazing!

The third island of our trip was Maui and we rented Cindy & Todd's apartment. The very high quality and lovingly furnished apartment is definitely significantly higher than the standard. The very understanding landlords are easy to reach and respond to questions very promptly. Beach equipment such as chairs, boards and snorkeling equipment are available for use. A late check out would have been possible without additional costs as there was no direct re-letting. Unreservedly recommended! Mahalo & Aloha. Michael with family

If we come back to Maui we want to stay in this condo. The view from the patio is amazing. Though we haven’t met the owners face to face, from our communications they are obviously wonderful people. They take pride in their condo and it shows. The condo is very well furnished and well maintained. It’s location allows for easy access to the entire island…The location is very peaceful with the rhythmic lapping of the waves against the shore. My wife and I came here with friends to celebrate our 50th anniversary…We all had a wonderful time.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely condo in Maalaea. It is in a quiet area of the island, but close to the Maalaea Harbor that has shops and many excursion options that take off from there. It is a convenient and close walk to the harbor from the condo. We were lucky to have the owners of the condo on the property during our stay. It was so nice to meet them and have a personal connection. We can see why that place is special to their family. Mahalo! The Smith Family

My family and I enjoyed our stay thoroughly! Check-in was a breeze with the keypad and to be quite honest, we never even used the actual physical key for the top lock at all during our stay...it was that convenient and not necessary. Slight delay on check-in as the housekeeper wasn't expecting us a few hours before standard check-in, 45 minute delay but no biggie as Lindi and Jim were wonderful enough to allow us to check in early in the first place. We couldn't have asked for a better location for our stay. Everything was a short drive away, from the airport (about 15 minutes away) to other bordering counties, and we found the central location to be very convenient. The dock for our Molokini snorkeling boat was less than a mile away. My daughter and I were the ones to go out on that excursion and upon our return I told my wife to look outside the balcony only to find my daughter and I waving as we passed by. So much fun! Other pluses...the kitchen was well stocked, even had some essentials like cooking oil, salt, pepper, coffee filters, etc. Ceiling fan in every room including the bathrooms. Air conditioning a huge plus if you arent used to the humidity. There isn' direct beach access from the back but during the morning and early afternoon low tieds, there is a pathway from the left side of the property that leads directly to the neighboring beach. We never braved the pathway, but did see others using it during our stay. Do note, however, the keep out signs.

If you are interested in visiting all areas of Maui - this place is for you. It was 20-25 minutes from all the south Maui beaches of Kihei, Wailea, McKena, 30 minutes from west Maui, central Maui, and upcountry. The condo is peaceful and relaxing. One downside is that there was limited dinner nearby so if you were planning to go out for all your meals, your choices might be limited. Sugar beach was a great place to hang out and walk on but probably not the best for small kids to swim in.
Karen B.
August 2023

Our family enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo with amazing views. The condo is fully stocked with all the necessities, including a great selection of items for the beach. We loved listening to the waves from the balcony, and visiting the beach right next to the property. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Kate provided all the details needed to make checking in and out a breeze. She also went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, since the fires broke out during our stay. Highly recommend this condo if you’re looking to visit Maui, you won’t be disappointed.

This unit was very comfortable and wonderful for our family and I’m sure we would have greatly enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we had to evacuate due to the Maui fires but the owner was fantastic in communication and worked with VRBO to refund our money which was not expected but VERY appreciated. We are praying for all those affected by the wildfires and hopefully if we make it back we’ll be able to stay here again. Thank you so much.

The condo was well located, close to the airport, the nice beaches and good eats. The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped and I have never seen a condo with so many towels. The lanai was the highlight. We enjoyed eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at the lanai, contempling the incredible view with the sound of the waves. Unfortunately, we had to cut short our trip due to the fires in Lahaina. The condo was not in the affected area but we didn’t want to take any risk. When the fires in Lahaina happened, Pam wrote to us to check if we were all ok. I informed Pam that we decided to leave the condo one day earlier, she replied to us very quickly to let us know that she will reimburse us for the unused day. It was very nice of her to be so considerate. I read on Facebook that many travelers were unable to get a refund for their cancelled accomodation. It never crossed my mind to ask for a refund but Pam had volunteered in doing so. That was a very nice gesture. We greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean and quiet place to stay and close to everywhere. Thank you Pam for sharing your condo and for being so nice to your guests.

Thank you for being wonderfully hospitable hosts with prompt communication, fully stocked beach gear, and offering many local recommendations to make our stay in Maui so delightful. They even left a thoughtful welcome gift! The location of the accommodation is in close proximity to the beach and in a quiet, less-commercialized area. Crew Rest was a haven in the midst of the wildfires. Our prayers and hearts go out to the amazing people here pressing on and rebuilding from the devastation. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future when we return to Maui!

We just spent 2 weeks at this condo. It was the perfect home away from home. The location was central for all of our Maui adventures. The condo is beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed. Plenty of beach toys, a great kitchen and beautiful views. And a huge plus… the beds were super comfy. We would not hesitate to book this wonderful condo again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family was very happy with our stay at Kanai A Nula #305. The condo was clean, and extremely well stocked. It was awesome to be able to sit out on the lanai and relax with the beautiful views of the bay. We saw SO many turtles of the shore and the nearby Haystack beach was a nice easy walk away. Only one con and that is the door to the master bedroom. It was not very private since it is a sliding door that does not lock. Other than that no complaints. Comfortable beds, nice sized kitchen, washer and dryer. All the comforts of home plus an awesome view.

We stayed for 2 weeks. The condo is right on the water with easy access the beach. There were never more than 20 people on the beach at once, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Great kitchen and outdoor grilling space. Ma’alaea is in the middle of the island, so it’s a perfect for getting around the island. My family would gladly live there for the rest of our lives.

Staying in this beautiful oceanfront condo made our first trip to Maui a wonderful stay. The unit was more than adequately supplied with everything to meet basic needs which as a frequent traveling family, we don’t always see. The central location made it so easy to get out and adventure in Maui’s beautiful environment. The beach chairs, boogie boards, towels and snorkel gear were such gifts to utilize while we stayed. Thank you for making this trip easy and memorable!

Overall impression is good. Unit could use some refreshing. Sleeper sofa definitely needs to be replaced - the mattress is falling apart. The property was well maintained. Our grandkids loved the pool and the beach was a very short walk away. That part of Maui is VERY windy but the building blocked the wind pretty well. The aquarium is within walking distance even for small kids.

It was a very nice and comfortable stay.

We love staying in Kanai a Nalu in Maalaea. We dislike a lot of touristy beaches and love that Sugar Beach is so close. Location is close to everything as long as you don’t mind driving. Sad to see Beach albums closed but harbor and aquarium within walking distance. Thanks for having us.

We really enjoyed staying here. The condo was loving decorated, very comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home. The pool and grounds were perfect, as was the nearby beach. We enjoyed the location - not as busy as other sites on the island but still with good restaurants within walking distance.There was an issue with the drain during our stay, and the on-site management team was incredible - they responded to my concerns immediately and had a someone out to work on the drain right away. They were great about communicating with us, offered to let us use another condo for laundry, and even gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. They really went above and beyond.

This condo was absolutely lovely! It was just as pictured and described in the listing. We could not have been closer to the water, & enjoyed the crashing of waves outside our lanai and windows. We didn’t use the kitchen to do any cooking, but it appeared to be well stocked. It was great to have a washer and dryer and dishwasher in the unit. And we enjoyed the quieter setting. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We had new towels with lots of beach towels and extra sheets if we needed them. Kitchen was well stocked. All appliances were new and worked beautifully. a few cleaning issues like food and dirt under the sofa cushions. the beach in the pictures wasn't there but I am wondering if that is a seasonal thing. I loved the location. Close to the Maui Ocean Center which is a must see. I would rent this condo again.

We loved the condo and the location. Close enough to most things but also far enough for it to be nice and quiet. Snorkeling right at the condo ocean area is fabulous cause we got to swim with turtles. We definitely recommend this place and this owner. She was great keeping in touch and the condo had everything we needed.

Excellent vacation spot! We had a great time at this peaceful location. Owners provided many supplies and amenities like boogie boards, floaties, sand toys and beach chairs. Easy communication and entry into condo!! This condo is in a great central location for a first time stay in Maui as it allows for easy drive to various locations!! Thanks Larry & Barb!!

We added on some days to the end of our trip and booked this property for 3 nights somewhat last minute. It’s in a nice area, mostly quiet, but does get some airplane taking off and landing noise. The condo doesn’t have direct beach access but it’s a short walk away. The pool area was very nice. The owners were very communicative about dos and do nots and property rules. This is a good area for a home base on Maui. Condo was larger than many, which was nice and there were tons of supplies in the kitchen and bathrooms to use. Also had a full size washer and dryer which is always appreciated. Lastly, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore outside the windows was amazing. You could hear them even with the AC running and windows closed. We miss Maui already!

It was very easy to find by the owners directions. A kurig or similar coffee machine would be a good investment. We didnt k ow there were boogie boards under the bed until we were leaving. (We rented them while there). It was a great place for us and i would recommend it to any family that wNts to visit Maui.

We had a wonderful time celebrating our 30th anniversary. The condo was beautiful and equipped with absolutely everything. It was so relaxing being right on the water. The location was very centrally located and easy to get to everything in Maui. We watched the sunrise every morning.

We just got back from a 2 week stay. We have 3 kids -17, 13 and 7. I was very nervous to find a place that was comfortable for all of us. Right from the very beginning Mary was available to answer every question I had. She sent us a list of everything to do on Maui, from restaurants to activities. This was fantastic! Check-in was seamless. The condo was spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, right on the beach. We did have to walk about 50 feet to pass the rock wall and then step onto the beach which had some snorkeling. The location was central and only took 15-20 min to get to the Walmart/Target, many restaurants and food trucks. Parking was available everyday. The pool was very relaxing. My 7 year old daughter met kids every day. The barbecue by the pool was also great. The condo really needed nothing more. It was extremely well organized with labels for everything in all the closets and cabinets. Since there were 5 of us, we did need an additional bed. There was a queen size blow-up mattress (with linens) that we set up in the living room at night. The air conditioning unit cooled off the living room/kitchen area nicely and there were fans in all the rooms. However, the smaller bedroom was very warm and my son had a hard time sleeping. The master bedroom was warm but not as hot - this was my only negative. Overall, it was great and we loved it. You will be very happy booking this condo. Thank you, Mary!

You can tell Diane takes a lot of pride in her property. Her communication was great and everything was easy to understand. You can’t beat this location and it is hands down the best stocked rental we have ever been to. There was beach and swimming equipment for our days on the beach, a cooler for our trek to the mountains. Can’t be beat. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if we ever found ourselves back on Maui.

Crew Rest Maui was amazing! The property is located in a secluded bay that is quiet and peaceful. The ocean is right at your back door. You can see the turtles swimming right from the lanai. We walked the beach every morning. We will definitely be back!
