What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Guests rave about the Mahana’s unmatched, true oceanfront setting—many say it feels like being on a cruise ship thanks to floor‑to‑ceiling windows and lanais hovering above the water. Expect daily wildlife sightings right from your condo: sea turtles year‑round, frequent dolphins and monk seals, and spectacular humpback whale shows in season. The vibe is quiet, low‑density, and relaxing, yet convenient: the beachfront boardwalk starts by the property and leads to Whalers Village; Duke’s, a popular food‑truck park, snorkel rentals, and a Times grocery are all a short walk away. Sunsets are a nightly event, and the sound of the surf often lulls guests to sleep.

Units are generally clean, comfortable, and well equipped, with many hosts stocking “home‑away‑from‑home” kitchens plus beach gear (chairs, umbrella, cooler, snorkel sets), and in‑unit washer/dryers. Most note easy parking, responsive owner/manager communication, and well‑kept grounds. Onsite amenities include a quiet pool, hot tub, gas grills, and helpful concierge—great for grilling dinner after a beach day or watching the evening colors from the lawn.

A few recurring considerations: the shoreline directly in front has reef and rocks, which is fantastic for snorkeling but can be tricky for swimming—soft sand and easier entry are a short walk down the beach (water shoes help). West‑facing glass can warm units in the afternoon; shades and AC (when available) help, and the ocean can be loud for light sleepers. Periodic building projects have led to temporary AC outages in some months; several reviewers advise confirming AC status before booking. As with many tropical properties, occasional pests and isolated cleanliness or maintenance issues are reported but aren’t the norm. There’s no on‑site bar/restaurant, and the pool is modest—but most guests prefer the peaceful atmosphere, killer views, and superb location.

Amazingly clean and perfectly lovely. The beach is stunning!! I love being able to walk the boardwalk!!

Condo unit is oceanfront. Enjoyed seeing numerous turtles from lanai every day. Unit was well stocked and had much more drawer space than we had clothing.

This condo was absolutely amazing. It was clean, comfortable, and the view was incredible. Check in went flawlessly--Charles, the on island point of contact was extremely responsive. It had everything you could think of that you might need for the beach--4 chairs, 2 umbrellas, a bag etc. The air conditioning did go out one night but it was the entire building, not just 919 so there was nothing to be done. They got it going early the next morning and it was great after that.

Space was very clean and neat. View was absolutely amazing!! Sitting area in the grass was great and the pool was very nice. Great area for restaurants, shopping a beach access. Would highly recommended staying here. Only suggestion would be to have darker blinds to put down for sunlight during the day while away to help keep condo from getting hot.

Beautiful and comfortable condo with close access to the beach. Nice pool and hot tub. We enjoyed the pickle ball courts. The most amazing part of the condo was the ocean view from the lanai. Spectacular sunsets! What a wonderful experience!

Beautiful well appointed condo with gorgeous views! You cannot get closer to the ocean with a wall of windows in both the living room and bedroom. The owner Alicia was outstanding and timely with all the information for the stay!

This property had a 5 star review, which I do not understand. While the view was beautiful, the unit itself was quite dissapointing, as it needs a major update. The dishwasher blade came off the first time we used it. The bed was awful....no blanket, just a dirty comforter.The pillows were old, dirty and flat. The bathroom shower glass was very dirty upon arrival. Multiple toilet plungers around the the base of the toilet. One roll of toilet paper provided, despite us having a week reservation. We left a day early and rented a hotel room as the toilet broke...would not recomnend staying here.

This is a great spot! The view is unbeatable and the property is well maintained. We were surprised at how comfortable the bed was but didn't care for the pillows, which is more a personal preference than a criticism. Unfortunately for us the washer and dryer were not functional during our stay but the property manager made sure we had clean linens and towels.Really, my only complaint was not being notified that they had window maintenance being performed on the building which required they leave a suspended platform hanging from the building all week. Then, when they worked on this units windows they smeared them all up and ruined what was otherwise a great view. Snorkeling is great from this location and we saw sea turtles in the ocean off the lenai daily.I would recommend this unit.

It was as beautiful as it looks in the photos. Very private, comfortable, and inviting. Sunsets from the lanai are incredible! Would definitely book again.

Not very clean. Sand everywhere, hair in bathroom. Mattress cover in master bedroom, ick.... The posting pics show welcome coffee and chocolate, Unfortunately we didn't get any. You will need to buy everything for your stay. There was no anything for the kitchen ( salt foil wrap spices coffee filters) anything a previous renter would have purchased is removed. The location and view is everything.

Loved the property! It was perfect for my wife and I. The view from the patio is stunning and the sunsets are spectacular. We had everything we needed and the location was great. Plenty of restaurants and easy to get around.

We had an excellent stay. The location was nice. Close to amenities but out of some of the hustle and bustle. Got to see and snorkel with sea turtles right off the beach at the property and watch incredible sunsets. The owner was easy to deal with and incredibly accommodating. We ran into some travel issues and the owner went above and beyond to alleviate those issues. We would certainly recommend this place.

We love the Mahana - from the incredible parking lot which is like a botanical garden to the beach front property with floor to ceiling glass windows to the beach itself. We love being walking distance to Whaler’s Village, Duke’s, the grocery store, food trucks and so much more!! The entire facility is kept meticulous!

Check-in was a breeze with the help of Karen at front desk. As we walked in, we saw the amazing view, which is exactly what we were looking for-right on the crystal clear water! We saw lots of turtles from the window. The place was very clean, kitchen had everything you needed, from spices to gadgets to pots and pans for cooking. Bed was super comfy, & the view from the bedroom was just as fantastic as the family room view! Bathroom provided full bottles of shampoo, body wash, & lotion. Laundry area was equipped with plenty of detergent pods & dryer sheets, which is not a common practice for any of the VRBOs I have ever been to. We did a few beach days & since there is no beach space at the Mahana resort big enough to layout at, we packed our Tommy Bahama chairs (4 are there for use), cooler (small or larger-provided in VRBO), & towels provided by the resort & walked about 5 minutes down to a bigger beach in front of Dukes restaurant. There are 3 decent places to eat by Dukes or we drove down to Whalers Village, which had more dining options & shopping. We did notice that the VRBOs location was less crowded & had very few families (kids)-seemed more like an adult chill area. Whalers Village, on the other hand, was very busy with the majority of families with kids. I might also add in the lobby, there was a "Lending Library" for readers to grab a book. We also used the gas grills outside & they were cleaned daily. VRBO owner Crystal was amazing and checked in with us day 2!

What a great property! Beautiful view overlooking the ocean with views of Lanai and Molikai. Beach was perfect. Plenty of food and activities nearby. The hosts were very amenable and answered all our questions promptly. Would definitely stay again.

September 2025

The view is exactly as pictured. It’s stunning!I was able to sit in the comfortable swivel chair by the window and watch sea turtles, swim up and down the beach just below. The house is beautifully appointed. I particularly enjoyed having access to snorkel gear, beach bag, chairs, and other nice to have items.There is a great snorkeling right from the beach as well. A nice food truck area with great options restaurants nearby, and a decent swimming pool and hot tub.I can understand when reading the reviews that people said they often visited again and again. It’s a special place and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Happy with stay. Make sure you get all details on checking in prior to arriving. Snorkeled several places on island. Swam with turtles in shallow water on beach just south of the building. Good location for food and drink.

This property is the perfect place to spend your time relaxing. Several eating options out but has a perfectly stocked kitchen to eat in. Several BBQ’s onsite. Quiet, great pool and you can’t believe the views. Literally all ocean and palm trees.

We have stayed at different condo's over the years looking for the perfect condo. Well.... this is it. This is the only place we will stay in Maui from this point forward. From the amazing 11th floor view, literally right on the water, to the wonderful beach immediately to the left of our building (beach is great for snorkeling and we even saw sea turtles knee deep at the waters edge) to the pool area with gas BBQ's. If you enjoy walking or running, there is a one mile boardwalk starting at our condo building and running along the ocean front. The wonderful restaurant, Dukes, is just a two minute walk away. Another two minute walk from the condo is the Honoapiilani Food Truck Park. The condo itself was very clean upon arrival and had all the essentials we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella and an ice chest. Very comfortable king size bed and air conditioning. The grounds at the Mahana are just beautiful as well. This condo suited us perfectly and again this will be our "go to" place when we return to Maui, hopefully each year :)

We loved this property. It is centrally located with access to many, many options for entertainment and food. The unit is exceptionally well maintained and clean. It is pleasantly decorated and has nice furniture. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. And although the TV in the living room abuts on the wall to the master bedroom, we could not hear that TV in the master bedroom. Good sound proofing. The owners thoughtfully provided many little touches that made it feel like a 5-star hotel, such as small individual shampoos and conditioners and individually wrapped soaps. They provided hair dryers and Kleenex. I liked the way they organized their kitchen utensils and how easy they were to find. The views from the condo are breathtaking and just when I wished I had brought binoculars, I found a set in the condo. The owners provided many games and books for entertaining young people and adults. We also appreciated that the owners reached out to us shortly after our booking and commenced a dialog that continued in a very positive way. They answered all our questions, provided detailed information on the unit, restaurants and entertainment options. We could not have felt more welcome or cared for. We would stay there again!!!!!!!

September 2025

We enjoyed rhis property so much! We come to the island every year and always stay at a condo for the convenience of a kitchen and laundry facilities. We loved that this property was close enough to the resort area of Kaanapali without feeling a part of the resorts. The beach area is amazing and an easy access and walk directly from the Mahana. The view is amazing and we had the best sunsets. We definitely will be staying here again!

Absolutely beautiful! One of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The check-in process was seamless, and the location was ideal—within walking distance of food trucks, coffee, restaurants, and the boardwalk. Beachfront access was extremely convenient, and the pool was great.The only downside was direct communication with the property manager. It felt a bit difficult to confirm and arrange rental equipment drop-off and pick-up, even though it was outlined in the rental agreement. That said, the overall response team was excellent and typically got back to me within the hour. In the end, everything worked out smoothly—they even delivered a high chair within a few hours after discovering one wasn’t already available as promised.

The sound of the crashing waves, the view of Molokai and Lanai, the blue ocean, and easy going vibes of the condo make for a memorable island vacation.

The provided door access code did not work. No one answered any of the emergency contact numbers. Took over an hour to gain access to our unit. Not what I wanted to deal with after traveling all day long.

The views from this unit are incredible!! There isn't a closer condo to the ocean in Maui. The floor to ceiling windows elevate the experience to the max. This corner unit allows a line of site down the coast all the way to Black Rock. If you didn't want to leave your room you wouldn't have to. If there was a swimmable beach in front of the building it would be unmatched. Due to the reef in front of the building, there isn't much of a beech or swimming there. Not to worry, all you have to do is walk a minute or two in either direction and your dialed in for all your beech adventures. Even the views out of the 2nd bedroom are great. The Monkeypod trees provide a canopy over the entire parking lot and beyond that are the Maui mountains. Cant overstate the views enough. Enjoying the sunset every night and falling asleep to the waves are were far more valuable to us than any resort amenities. This place is a quiet local, which was perfect for us.

Absolutely perfect!! We had one of our best vacations ever staying in Crystal and Jim's beautiful oceanfront condo!! So many positive things (literally everything) but have to mention the ocean view, condo funishings, location, and of course, Crystal's personal, caring, and accessible contact. Check-in and check-out was seemless and simple. Had we known how wonderful and accommodating this trip has been, we would have stayed 2 weeks!! Thanks so much Crystal and Jim for everything and making our 35th Anniversary return to Maui so perfect!! We will be back and much sooner!!

August 2025

A great condo with beautiful views of the beach! Located near Black Rock/Kaanapali beach. We loved going for runs and walks on the boardwalk every morning and the views overlook the ocean were phenonmenal. nWe saw a monk seal swimming from our balcony (what a treat!).Beds were comfy, kitchen had all the amenities we needed, beach towels and chairs provided which was also nice. The only issue we had was the fridge not always closing properly and it was always beeping to notify us that it was not closed. A small nuisance in the overall grand scheme of a beautiful location and stay. Would definitely book here again. We also loved the convenience of the food truck park at the entrance on the condo for morning coffee or dinner. Grocery store is right across the street as well as Papi Ohana's which has some gigantic and delicious cinnamon rolls.

Overall, the location is outstanding, super close to all amenities. The beach is amazing. Restaurants and shopping are all within walking distance. We did have a few minor maintenance issues on the property. The dishwasher does have some broken parts, one of the blinds fell down on a window in the main living room that looks out to the ocean, which was inconvenient for our last couple days. I would stay in this location again.

The unit itself was very comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a perfect trip. It truly felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a place in Maui that combines convenience, comfort, and breathtaking scenery, this is it. We can’t wait to come back!
