We were so pleased with everything about our stay- location, proximity to the beach right outside our door, cleanliness of the condo which had everything one could need. From kitchen appliances and accessories to beach chairs and umbrellas and beach towels. Coffee and sparkling water was also provided. To top things off we had quite a show with whales breaching 159 yards from shore and sea turtles galore surfacing right at the tide line. Hope to return one day.

This condo was perfect. Clean, comfort and nicely updated. Floor to ceiling windows and nice sized lanai had beautiful views of the ocean for whale watching and sunsets. The property was really great. Clean and quiet with a great swimming pool, hot tub and plenty of lounge chairs. Nice barbecue grills for guests to use. The location was great with a beach walk, plenty of restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed our vacation at this Maui resort. Hope to be back soon.

We had a wonderful time at the Mahana! The location is excellent and our ground level unit gave us direct access to the beach and pool, which we loved. This unit had two full bathrooms, which was very useful. It was nicely furnished. The mattress was very comfortable, but the pillows were thin and flimsy. I don't want to go into further details for this specific unit, since this booking was "luck of the draw". We thought we were booking a specific unit, but missed the fine print that said that the pictures were just general representation and that the actual unit would be provided at check-in. We had tried to request an upper floor unit when we found this out, but at check-in the assigned unit was ground floor and there were no other options. Ultimately, we were very happy with the ground floor and would be happy to go that way again, but would make sure we were booking a specific unit. As for the resort overall, everything was excellent! We loved the pool and hot tub, which were hardly ever crowded. The beach was good for snorkeling with better fish sightings than we had on a snorkel trip. Also several other good spots within a couple miles. The walking path that connects all of the resorts along Kaanapali beach was awesome and perfect from a short stroll to a 4 mile walk. Multiple restaurants are available in walking distance, including a great food truck area just outside the resort. If we return to Maui someday, we'd definitely have the Mahana at the top of our list!

Our stay was perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning views that truly set the tone for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation. The location couldn’t have been better. Quiet and peaceful, yet close to great local restaurants and shops, We were able to enjoy both relaxation and adventure in equal measure. The sound of the waves crashing just outside our window at night made for great sleep.The property was well-maintained with beautiful landscaping and a sparkling pool that added to the tropical experience.Overall, this Maui oceanfront condo met my every expectation, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

You have to know the location of the Aston Mahana if you have never stayed on Maui or in Kaanapali and you decide to make it your vacation home. This trip we stayed in Unit 1217 and it was perfect. Clean, every appliance you could want. And the view is just unbelievable. If you’re staying here you need to understand that you are not staying in or close to the airport, Wailea or Kihei. It will take you close to an hour to get here from the airport and the same goes if you are trying to get to Wailea or Kihei while staying here. It is however convenient to several really great food, golf courses, whale watching and water companies. Parking is crowded, but spots are always available. The host and staf are easy to reach and very responsive. So go and just find a way to relax, in, on and near the water.

Loved every second of our stay at this condo! It exceeded every expectation we had. It was very clean, the location and views were amazing (whale and turtle watching from the balcony!) and the owners went above and beyond when it came to making sure their condo had everything you might need. We even had a welcome basket with snacks that was such a sweet gesture after a very long 20 hours of travel. We’re already ready to plan a trip back!

What an incredible stay in Maui! This condo leaves nothing to desire. The views are stunning. You can see whales jumping while standing in the kitchen making your morning coffee. It is clean and updated with all the amenities you need. Its close to a local grocery store and walking distance to several great restaurants. We are already looking to come back!

The condo was even more beautiful than the pictures portrayed! The views from the living room and lanai were breathtaking! The unit was very well appointed in every room. The kitchen was very well equipped. The owners thought of everything from the living room, bathroom and bedroom. We would love to stay again! Better than we could have dreamed! The entire complex including the pool, hot tub, and all other amenities were outstanding. Experiencing beautiful sunrises and sunsets all while hearing the sound of the waves crashing the beach…we couldn’t have asked for more!!

This is a beautiful unit in an ideal location on Maui. It is a condo complex, but provides towel service for the pool and hot tub. Easy beach access and located on the nicest section of the island. Go south for activities (snorkeling, shopping, restaurants) and go north for windy roads, stunning coastline views, and unique hikes (the blow hole is a must-see). Thoroughly enjoyed our time.

The condo had a spectacular view and a fantastic location. We enjoyed the view every day while having coffee on the lanai. We were very dissatisfied with the cleanliness. The window had a big hand and body print on it and nothing to clean it with. We had to buy glass cleaner and clean it out self along with the glass railing on the lanai. The table on the lanai had several cracks in it. The floors were also dirty and nothing to clean it with. There were no beach towels and the dryer barely worked. It took several turns for the clothes to dry. The condo had bare minimum of stuff. We did not read the reviews ahead of time which was our own fault. Hopefully the company will make an effort to clean and make the condo a better place to stay. It could easily be done with that view the condo has to offer. Rob and Pia

Diane was a wonderful host. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived including a gift basket filled with goodies. Checkin was a breeze as was checkout. The building was right on the water. It was like 9 days on a stationary cruise ship. Great time… miss it already

My husband and I stayed here for the first half of our honeymoon… it is RIGHT on the water. The views are literally breathtaking. We saw probably 100 whales and tons of turtles from the balcony. It’s also walking distance to food trucks and restaurants, we would love to visit again!!

We couldn't ask for a better location! Being able to watch the turtles, whales and fish right from our lanai is incredible. The condo is small but who spends much time inside other than the day of the Kona low anyway!

We had a fabulous time staying at Mahana. The condo was clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with numerous pots/pans, glasses, plates etc. They had four nice beach chairs/umbrella/water gear etc. They had everything you would need. The view was beyond gorgeous. We saw many whales every day from our lanai. (Jan 31-Feb 8). The beaches are so clean and beautiful. We walked to Dukes restaurant next door many times to eat. We also grilled onsite for meals. There are many grills to use. The pool was great as well. I can’t say enough. We loved staying at Mahana and will return next year. Thank you!

My main complaint were the roaches and musty smell of the property. Since I am chemically sensitive I was concerned that they would spray pesticide in my unit and I would be miserable. I let Chasin Rainbows know about my stay and they said you should have let us know, fair enough, however, they have been charging me a fee monthly for service. I have know idea what that is. The place was not clean when I arrived so I cleaned it myself. There was mold in the bathroom sink at the faucet, the balcony floor was filthy and so were the tables. The windows had handprints. There were tiny baby roaches in the bathroom and when I opened the dishwasher at the end of my stay a giant roach crawled out and disappeared and that's when I noticed roach traps in the kitchen between cabinets. I didn't want to ruin my busy schedule with maintenance coming in and out of my unit so I just gave them the heads up about what I observed. All the the linens in the closet smelled like a moldy smell. It's a beautiful place the Mahana. I got married there and have enjoyed my stay, however, never had a problem with roaches. I am disappointed, however, one must always be happy in Maui, so I made the best of it. Now I'm being charged a monthly service fee from Chase n Rainbows and for what?????

No question this was one of the nicest properties we’ve visited on Maui. Perfect location near activities, but secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful. We will definitely book this property again next time.

Special thanks to the My Perfect Stay company for facilitating a terrific visit! Everything was fantastic! Thank you very much! Loved the super fast response times to my email and text questions! place was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Had a little trouble with the bedroom TV for some reason we couldn’t get the channels to work for us, but that could’ve been user error. Honestly, we didn’t spend too much time with that! would definitely come back here again and again!

Came to Maui to see the Whales and could not have picked a better place to do just that. Being on the 12th floor provided a great vantage point to Whale watch. Mahana property is about as close as one can get to being on the water. Nice pool and hot tub at the property. Besides seeing lots of Whales…also get to see lots of Turtles and surfers. Easy walk to great restaurants and food trucks near by. Guest room is well appointed, comfortable though mattress should be replaced soon. The view is spectacular!

So many positives. So many thoughtful touches from the owner including a chef’s delight drawer of spices, every cooking utensil you could think of, tea & coffee, and more. All the equipment you need for a day at the beach. Condo was spotless when we checked in. Comfortable king-size bed. Lanai overlooking the beach where surfers, turtles and whales were always in view. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very responsive owner. Mahalo to owner Quyen and Michael. Really enjoyed it!

We love this condo! This is our 3rd time at Mahana but first time in 1217. We will for sure book again. It was well stocked with cookware and dishes. Spices too! Even an air fryer. The best thing is the view. Whale watching for hours with the two sets of binoculars. Can’t wait to come back.

My words will fail to properly describe the wonderful experience we had at this property, but here we go. First of all, Holly has been amazing since the day we first booked this place several months ago. She has been absolutely top-notch in the communications department throughout the entire process. Check-in instructions were clear and easy and we had no access problems at all.The property itself: WOW. Floor-to-ceiling windows gave us the most gorgeous views and natural light. The pictures in the listing don't even do it justice. The kitchen and bathroom were completely stocked with everything you'd need, and more. Also available were a variety of beach and water items, such as beach chairs, boogie boards, pool noodles, and snorkel gear. No need to rent! We enjoyed the pool and the beach every day, and close by there is a beach walk connecting the beachfront hotel properties. The condo is just a short walk from grocery stores, shops, and food trucks.And of course, the wildlife. Whale watching will never get "old" to me, and we even had surprise visits from some sea turtles and a seal. Holly was also very knowledgeable about some of the sea turtle beach habits when asked.This place lives in my mind much more beautifully than I can describe. We had a wonderful stay here and we recommend it HIGHLY.
