We absolutely LOVED our stay! The view was incredible and every morning we saw turtles from the lanai! The condo had everything and well equipped. We will be back.

Very pleased with our stay, the condo was everything advertised and more. Very clean, roomy, and beautiful views! If we ever return to Maui will definitely stay here again!

From the moment we walked in the views got us. It was absolutely beautiful with the ocean views. Our highlight was everyday around 3:00 the Sea turtles would show up and put on a show for us. They stayed for over and hour each day. The Condo itself was very well appointed with everything you would need. The chairs were a hit and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely be returning to Mahana for our next stay. You can't beat the sunsets from the balcony. Thanks for everything Crystal and Jim.

Our stay was wonderful. The balcony is right on the water with what I believe has to be one of the best views on the island. Room was as listed. Beach was nice for being right outside the property but was a bit rocky however great for snorkeling as we saw multiple sea turtles. Would definitely stay again

The unit was everything as in the pictures. Didn't disappoint. Hearing the waves an night, lulling you to slumber land, what a treat! Almost everything you need ( could use an umbrella and and a not broken cooler handle) The mirrored wall gives you a virtual 180 degree view, to see lots of turtles! Decent snorkeling out front. Saw turtles, lobsters and a large stingray. Plus a bunch of colorful fish. The grounds and property are very well kept . We would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful time in Kaanapali and the VRBO was a big part of it. The condo was clean, it had a fantastic view of the ocean. The sunsets and moonsets were amazing. Snorkeling gear, boogie boards beach towels were all provided to increase the beach experience. The facility has BBQ grills on site were clean and available and helped with being able to stay in for meals. We had a malfunction with the sunshade in the condo, but we reported it and it was fixed that same day. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!

This exceeded our expectations. We had to postpone our stay by one year due to the Lahaina fires. Sarah the owner worked with us to make our trip happen as it was intended as a 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The views are better than the pictures and you won't want to leave the lanai. I would have given it 10 stars if I could have.
Elaine B.

Had a great time. Everything was as advertised. Lots of things to do within a short drive or walk. Would book again.

Penthouse was beautiful and comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Can’t beat the views! Turtles everywhere. Kaanapali area is great.
Kimberlee W.
September 2024

Wonderful property with ample surface lot parking with a short walk to the front door of the unit. Owner fully stocked the unit to where we did not need to go to the grocery/drug store to pick up a thing. The pictures online are exactly what the condo looks like. The view from the balcony is spectacular, perfect for sharing breakfast from Papi’s Ohana on. The living room is a little warm from the evening sun, but cools off nicely once the sun goes down. We had a great trip and enjoyed our stay immensely.

September 2024

We loved our stay at this Maui Condo! Amazing view right off of the balcony. Could watch sea turtles and boats and every evening's sunset on the Pacific Ocean. Great kitchen, great shower, and a beautiful pool and hot tub (and it was nice and hot!). We would definitely recommend this location and come back!

We’ve stayed at the Mahana many times and this was the nicest unit we’ve ever rented. It was furnished and stocked like it was meant for the owner. No problems. Good quality appliances, dishes, mattress, TVs, WiFi. The view on the top floor was exceptional especially when watching the turtles and sunsets. Host was very responsive and had lots of beach chairs and toys available.

- was great in every way- saw sea turtles from room daily and central to everything

September 2024

Overall the room would have been fine, except it was in disrepair when we got here. The slider to the lanai was broken, so we couldn’t get fresh air, worse- the AC didn’t work because the slider had a sensor that automatically shut it down. Brutally hot first two nights- no sleep. They finally fixed it on 3rd day. From then on it was fine. I asked for a credit for the 1st 2 nights. No response from Managers. Unreasonable that they rented us a room that they know was not as advertised
Russell R.
September 2024

Some pluses and minuses. The condo itself is spacious and very clean and beautiful views of the ocean. Location is absolutely perfect right next-door to Dukes and whalers Village. Negatives, there is very little stocking of anything to use in the kitchen, only salt and pepper. We did find seven cockroaches., that was unnerving. Would still recommend. OK

This property was just amazing! The location is perfect! We loved just walking to the beach snorkeling along the water up to back rock and back! Seriously saw so many seals and turtles! Of all the places we snorkeled, this was one of my top places! Fun places just to relax in the water. Perfect view of the islands! Honestly way better than the big resorts and way less people. The bed and sheets and pillows were so freaking comfortable! And all the supplies you will need. We stopped at Walmart on our way in expecting to need stuff but didn't use any of it!!! I would being reef friendly shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The air conditioner was amazing, the fan in the bedroom was finicky so if you need a fan I would pick one up. You couldn't hear anyone. We heard the upstairs neighbors re arranging their furniture once. Having a washer and dryer was amazing for fresh towels! The only thing was the blender was kind of gross. It had mold in it and the bottom was dripping black stuff. Even after washing and using bottled water our smoothies had a gross taste. They do have a Keurig, which made my husband happy. The birds are sweet and I loved having my coffee outside in the am and drinks in the pm. Such a beautiful place. If we're ever able to visit Maui again we will come here!

Absolutely perfect. Waves crashing a few yards from our comfortable lanai. Great view of the sun setting between Molokai and Lanai. Loved watching the birds and dolphins. Place was equipped with everything we needed. Would happily return.

From stay to finish, location, amenities and experience was unbelievable!! From the entrance into the condo to the patio directly over the beach and ocean, hands down the greatest vacation ever! We highly recommend anyone looking for a top notch home away fr9m home. Everything was raadily available and best quality amenities.
Valerie G.
September 2024

Rented for the view and the condo delivered! We saw turtles, dolphins and gorgeous sunsets. Walking distance to hotels with restaurants, and a grocery store and other food options. Driving distance to other great restaurants and excursions. Condo was clean and comfy!! Wished there was a brita water filter since I enjoy filtered water. Just bought some water from the store across the street. Very appreciative there were beach chairs, an umbrella and snorkeling gear if we wanted to use it. Super happy overall.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. The balcony has amazing views, the windows throughout the apartment made everything brighter. The apartment was very well stocked as well. We would stay here again.

This was the fourth time we've stayed at the Mahana in various condo's and this was our favorite by far!!! We love the location right on the water and easy access to so many things! Communication with the owner was spot on and the condo was very clean. They provided so many amenities, everything you needed was there. I was impressed with their beach chairs, umbrella, etc. They were in great shape just like new. Some of the other condo's we've stayed at provided beach items but many times they were worn and broken. Don't hesitate to stay at this condo, highly recommended! Thank you Crystal & Jim!

The view was you expect with sunsets included if it's clear. You can see turtles in the water. The bed is comfortable The microwave is finicky to use, no ice maker and they added a toaster oven. Could use a newer TV. It's only big enough for two people. We enjoyed it very much.

August 2024

The whole experience, from booking, through check in, through our stay, and check out was exceptional. The view from the room is breathtaking. During our stay in mid-August, the sun set perfectly between Lanai and Molokai with the only risk to a beautiful sunset were the clouds. The property was immaculate. The beach is an elevator ride and just a few steps away. We swam with sea turtles and could see schools of dolphins from the balcony. Duke’s is easy walking distance for a quick meal. Maui Paradise Properties (the property management group) gave great instructions through the whole process. They even gave us weather warnings. Through no fault of the property, we experienced a brief blackout due to an impending storm. At just past midnight, the management group was answering texts about the blackout and the storm. Highly recommended. We’d stay there again!

August 2024

Provided beach chairs, snorkels, etc were great! Room was nice. Great location (so much sea life visible from the balcony and the beach). The only thing I would improve on is the bed is extra firm.
Nicholas
August 2024

What a perfect rental. Right on the water, listen to the waves at night and watch the turtles during the day. Next to a beautiful stretch of beach too. We frequented Dukes and the Food Truck park; both very short walks away. Grocery store and surf rentals within walking distance. The condo itself was amazing; very bright and comfortable. In-room laundry and a perfect balcony made our trip even better. It was really hard leaving. Going to book this room again.

We really enjoyed the condo, beach and most of all the view. We stayed with 3 teenagers who loved the pool and beach, loved having beach chairs and snorkeling equipment. ! Lots of turtles everywhere.

We spent three nights at Escape to Maui at the Aston Mahana in Ka'anapali, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. The condo was spotless and had a cozy, homey feel. The ocean view was breathtaking, complete with stunning Hawaiian palm trees, dolphins, and turtles. The lanai was spacious, equipped with a table, chairs, and a chaise lounge—perfect for enjoying the amazing sunsets. It does get a bit warm in the late afternoon, but the view more than makes up for it. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed except fresh food, which was easy to pick up. The air conditioning was a must-have and kept the condo comfortably cool. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring we slept soundly every night. The condo was well-supplied with extra essentials like toilet paper, paper towels, and garbage bags. The closet was stocked with beach chairs, an umbrella, a cooler, and even a snorkel for guests to use. Evening entertainment options were plentiful, with a variety of books, DVDs, games, and puzzles. The condo itself was very spacious, and the welcome gift of Hawaiian chocolate-covered macadamia nuts was a thoughtful touch. The owners were exceptionally accommodating, allowing us an early check-in and late check-out upon request. The property features a heated pool and hot tub, though shade is limited. The location is ideal, right at the start of a boardwalk that leads to numerous dining options for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We will be back!

Our stay was perfect!! From the moment we booked, we had immediate communication from Crystal. Check in was very easy. The condo was super clean and comfortable. The best part were the incredible views! We saw turtles and amazing sunsets. We really appreciated the use of the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler. I can honestly say that this was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. I’ve already told my husband I only want to stay here from now on! Crystal and Jim, thank you for everything! So happy we found your listing to celebrate our 35th anniversary!
Kim
August 2024

The room is right on the ocean and nicely appointed. We could see turtles in the water from the lanai and hear the waves all nite. Amazing and soothing. Easy access to walk along the beach or on the boardwalk. Beautiful. Only problem was no air conditioning while it was being worked on but property management brought us a stand up fan to help.we definitely would stay here again

The pictures in the listing is why we booked this condo but when we got there it was beyond what we expected! The condo and views were beautiful!! Great location just far enough from the busy area but walking distance to everything! The condo was very clean with every amenity to have a great time in Hawaii! Best beach view condo we have ever stay at! Property owner went up and beyond to make sure we had one of the best trips ever with our family! We would look for her listings every time we travel back to Hawaii! Can’t say enough about the great experience we had here!

We stayed here for a week in June 2024. The condo was just as described. Great layout, very well equipped, it truly had everything we needed. The views from the balcony and living room were absolutely amazing. Property had great amenities. Walking distance to several nice restaurants and a food truck park that we absolutely loved.
Doug F.

August 2024

This was our first stay at Mahana and we will definitely be back. The condo was well appointed, clean and had everything we needed. The views were gorgeous. We were aware that the air conditioning was being worked on the week we were there and we really would have appreciated a portable unit in the condo to keep things cool while we were there like our relatives had in another unit on property.. It was very hot and the fans were helping, but it was still very uncomfortable..we made the best of it and still had a wonderful time
Rick and Yvonne O.
August 2024

We came because of the huge discount for no AC during the roof construction. It was great. Nothing beats the Mahana resort as it is low density and close to the water on airport beach!
