Very nice accommodations with a great view. We managed to see lots of whale activity. Very comfortable. Nice location within a short walk to the grocery store, convenient food trucks, and Dukes restaurant. Had a great stay!

Our stay at the condo was perfect! As soon as we walked in we went out on the lanai and saw turtles swimming and a monk seal!! Hearing the waves crashing while you lay in bed was heaven!! The whole complex was quiet and peaceful and we had no issues. We enjoyed exploring the area and walking down the beach. We ate at Java Jazz once for breakfast and once for dinner. It is a really cool place and within walking distance. We ate at Dukes for breakfast one morning and it was wonderful! I snorkeled off the beach and saw beautiful coral and fish. My advice is to be very cautious though because it is very tricky getting in and out since the coral and rock come all the way to the shoreline in some areas. We would absolutely stay again!!! Just as an fyi, the toilet does periodically start running which wasn’t an issue but thought you might want to know in case you want to check for a leak to conserve water. Mahalo!!!

We loved this place! Very clean and fresh condo, but the Mahana itself is awesome. Convenient free parking spot a few steps away from the elevator, keypad entry to the room so you don’t need to remember to carry any key to the beach, incredible views of a lively ocean with constant whales and turtles… we definitely want to come back one day. Thanks Louis

This was a long overdue visit that we desperately needed! The condo did not disappoint. The location was perfect for secluded beach days or traveling to visit local relatives. We were happy to be within walking distance to our sister's condo, and Duke's of course! Our interactions with the owners were delightful and all of our requests were met without question. The condo is comfortable, clean, and the view is worth a million bucks. We will be back!

After a few starts and stops we made it. The property was magnificent and the hosts were were accommodating. I would recommend this unit to any one.

We just stayed for a few days at the end of our Hawaiian vacation. So, we mostly stayed in the unit, which is pretty easy to do. It has spectacular views, and we delighted in sitting on the lanai watching whales, dolphins, and windsurfers, as well as the turtles feeding in the reef below. It is a great location- well connected to the sea walk, so we enjoyed our morning walks. It is also connected to a gym in a different building. Once I figured out how to access it, I enjoyed that amenity as well.

Very nice condo. No better view on the island than from that condo. Was great to have coffee or afternoon drinks and watch the whales, turtles, and the monk seal swimming and jumping in the water. Furniture was very comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom are awesome. The property managers are very nice and checkin was a breeze.

The studio was perfect for a single or couple looking for a great location close to the beach but removed from the crowds. The condo was clean and well-supplied.
Kathryn M.
April 2024

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had everything we could possibly need. It was nice not having to rent beach stuff. The beach chairs, towels, and cooler was all we needed to head to any beach. We could watch the sun set each night from our room. It’s a large condo but was quiet at night with no issues w loud neighbors. Thank you!

We have stayed a the Mahana for over 25 years and renter many units. This one is at the bottom end. Slightly remodeled, it has many flaws. The kitchen has the washer dryer in it. The doors accesing the equipment are not hung. They have fallen off their mounts and are just left in the niche. Looks very bad. The ice maker does not work. The flooring is the original - 40 year old tile with dirty grout. The kitchen is outfitted with minimal supplies - you gotta run the dishwasher all the time, no excess plates or cups. The kitchen knifes are below Walmart grade. Rusty, dirty, and useless. Washer makes horrendous noise. Bathroom is OK but minimal improvements. Not correct furniture selected for a small space. One end table, no place like a coffee table or the like. No ceiling fan. All units have one. The Mahana is great but this unit needs upgrades.

Absolutely stunning views of Lana’i and Moloka’i, we stayed April 6-13 and saw whales every day! Turtles and even a Hawaiian Monk Seal sunning himself one day! Condo was very clean and bright. Seating was perfect for watching the ocean.

The host has thought of it all and then some. This place is the perfect location (can’t get any closer to the ocean in Hawaii). Inside is modern. Clean and simple with every comfort you would need. From the common to all of the little details. If you forget something it’s probably provided. Book now. One of the best we have ever stayed. Very close to boardwalk, Dukes and shopping Center. Quiet place Just do it now.

Wonderful oceanfront property! A turtle visited on the beach right in front of our windows! And whales spouting within sight! The design of both bedroom and living room on the water a winning combination! Very comfortable king bed and nice linens! Really appreciated the fragrance free accomodation with our request. Definately would return!

The unit was great! It was clean, had all the possible amenities we needed to make it home for a week, and a great location. We watched whales right outside our doors every day. It was a quiet property that was perfect for my husband and I. I would highly recommend this particular unit and will definitely stay here again next time we’re in Maui.

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: What an unbelievable week in our Condo. I don’t think it could have been any better. From the amazing views, to the duel head shower to the snorkeling steps from the building, everything was great. Even when we had a little hiccup with a cooler not being available, the management staff got us a new one right away. This place hit everything our family of 4 needed for a great vacation in Maui. Highly recommend and we will be back.

My wife and I had been planning our Anniversary trip to Hawaii for some time. We knew we wanted to be on Maui but weren't really sure what location would best suit our needs. We were looking for the trifecta of a property that offered an amazing view, beach access and a nice beach facing pool. This location provided all of that and more! The pool was very nice with a deep 9' end as well as a nice hot tub, and the beach area in front of the location was usually fairly quiet (which we were just fine with). But the view...oh my gosh the view! Words and pictures cannot do it justice. You have a picture perfect view of both Lanai an Moloka'i fight from you back porch. Many afternoons we'd just sit there and watch boats, green sea turtles and whales playing in the water right within view. The location is perfect as well. We really enjoyed bein on the northern side of Kaanapali which we felt wasn't as crowded as areas south of Black Rock Beach. There were plenty of awesome local shops and restaurants right along the highway which provided quick access to other areas if we were so inclined. The unit is also in great shape and management did a great job of communicating everything with us prior to our stay as well as during. We had an absolutely wonderful time and will definitely be coming back for a future visit!

This condo was even better than the pictures. We have traveled many places and this was one of the best! Luxury, quality of everything, from the furnishings to the appliances and bedding. The view was breathtaking every-time! I have never felt so comfortable in a VRBO. We can’t wait to come back. Perfection!

The condo was perfect, plenty of room, clean and tidy. It had excellent views of the ocean and beautiful gardens with pool and hot tub. The location was convenient to many local businesses, shops and adventures that we could walk to. The check-in process was simple and there were plenty of amenities. It was certainly a home away from home with everything we needed and much more. Kathryn was so helpful during our initial reservation inquiry and answered many questions we had regarding the area and time of our stay. Thank you Kathryn and David for sharing your home away from home…it’s beautiful and we highly recommend it!

We are officially ruined and can no longer stay elsewhere. This condo has it all! You never have to leave the property. Walk outside to enjoy the pool, the beach, stores and local restaurants. It’s peaceful, it’s relaxing and boasts the most incredible views I’ve ever seen. Have coffee on the deck and enjoy watching the whales and turtles all day long. Grab some snorkel gear and step right out into the ocean and enjoy seeing all the fish. All of the amenities are incredible. I especially enjoyed the filtered water station at the pool to refill bottles instead of buying extra plastic. Thank you, thank you! We will be back.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a good location. Nice views for sure. The A/C being out made it very uncomfortable to sleep at night and the portable units that were brought in to cool it down were very ineffective.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning penthouse rental in Lahaina, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped into the unit, I was captivated by its beauty. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the panoramic view that greeted me upon arrival. The moment I stepped onto the private balcony, I was greeted by an awe-inspiring vista of the sparkling turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean. The sight of the sun setting over the horizon was nothing short of magical. It was as if time stood still, and I found myself completely mesmerized by the breathtaking beauty that unfolded before my eyes. The interior of the penthouse was good. The attention to detail and the tasteful decor created a Hawaiian Vibe. The living area was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with plush seating that allowed me to relax and unwind after a day of exploring the island. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances, making it a joy to prepare meals while enjoying the spectacular view. The location of this penthouse is ideal. Easy access to restaurant and shops. I also took advantage of the beach, write out side the building for a morning swim.

Beautiful property with awesome views! We watched turtles swim in the reef below everyday from the balcony. We were fortunate enough to be there during whale migration and were able to watch from the balcony and main windows. The condo is modern and was spotless upon arrival. The Mahana towers are centrally located and we could walk everywhere. The access to the beach was right in front of the property. What a great place to stay. The hosts Bill and Dondi were great hosts and very helpful with places to go see and eat.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The views from the lanai and living room are breathtaking. We spent hours watching the whales and turtles. The condo is modern and well stocked with everything you need…beach bags, towels, coolers, umbrella, chairs and boogie boards. Kitchen is well stocked and lots of spices etc.

Beautiful and convenient location and the owners go out of their way to make you comfortable during your stay and are very timely with communication. You really do have everything you need for a relaxing and fun stay. The only real negative was that the AC was out our entire 7 night stay but again, the owners thought of everything and had a portable AC installed which really helped. Thank you again Quyen, what a lifesaver!! #besthostever! We look forward to visiting again.

Had a fantastic stay at the Mahana for our vacation. The studio was nice and clean and had all the amenities as described. Maui Paradise Properties was very communicative and always got back to us efficiently about any questions we had. The AC was not working in the Lanai tower, so they offered alternative locations to stay versus discount to stay at the Mahana, which was much appreciated. Overall, would be happy to stay here again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this beautiful condominium. The furniture was exquisite and very Hawaiian! Perfect location with a 270 degree view beyond words from the penthouse. The air conditioner worked great, the terrace was large, comfortable seating, wonderful artwork, great heated pool, nice lobby area and a fabulous new kitchen. Absolutely gorgeous, can’t wait to come back! All around 100%

The 701 condo was very nice, spacious, and clean. The view was spectacular and we could whale watch every day especially between 4:30-5:30 pm and most mornings. Was also were able to see the turtles close to shore. To look out at the ocean and have the beach so close was beautiful. Although the kitchen was stocked well with everything including ziplock bags, Saran and foil(very helpful) and all the daily necessities there were a couple of things that could be added: placemats, hot pads/ trivets. Also there should be more than one dish cloth and hand towel in the kitchen as when one is being washed there was no other set to use. Helpful to have at least two sets. The Screen door in master bedroom was hard to open and got stuck and wouldn’t close. It appears the rollers on the bottom of the door are worn out. For the two single beds in the 2nd bedroom, they were pushed together but while sleeping they moved apart a lot and appears there was no bracket at the bottom to hold them in place except the king sheet. The beds were also not the same height. I loved the area it was in in Ka’ anapali and the walking boardwalk that takes you along the beach was truly beautiful. There was a grocery store in walking distance which was helpful. All in all I would highly recommend this condo and would come back to stay again. The views overlooking the ocean and pool were simply beautiful. The waves can get noisy so you must like to be by the ocean, but it has so much beauty.

Most beautiful, ocean front, relaxing place we have ever stayed in Maui. The almost 360degree views cannot be beat. It has everything you need & more. Decor is Tommy Bahama tasteful & comfortable. Formal dining table. A closet full of beach toys & equipment. 2 master suites with lux bedding, walk-in showers stocked with lux items. A full kitchen & subzero refrigerator ice & filtered water. New washer/dryer. You will need for nothing and never want to leave. We can’t wait to return to this Hawaiian paradise. It’s the best place we have ever stayed in over 40 years.

This condo did not disappoint!! View is better than the pictures show. Watched wahles and honu from our lanai ! Kitchen is fully stocked , bed is comfy and didn’t even need the air conditioner as the trade winds kept the place cool . Nothing better than hearing the waves crash at night. Great location for food access and snorkeling !! We will be back next year for sure!!! Thank you for sharing ur lovely home with us!! Mahalo 🌺

The condo had an amazing view over the ocean. It was a great place to view the Maui sunset. Also a great place to walk or jog along the walkways. Alicia was easy to work with and when a few issues arose, she was quick to get back to us. We are looking forward to returning next year

Just like the photos pictured. Very clean. We sat on the 2 chairs facing the ocean every morning with our coffee. Great location. Can walk to restaurants, grocery store, food trucks. Best view! We saw whales every day and sea turtles a few days.

Roomy, very comfortable condo the closest to the water you can get for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Pretty decor and plenty of space for 4 adults and two teens. Kitchen has everything. Walkable to grocery, ABC store, Dukes, food trucks. Pool was warm and never busy even for spring break week. Showers at the pool area so we could play in the water until we had to leave but could freshen up before our flight. We will be back! Mahalo for a great vacation!

Newly renovated, super clean condo (1 BDR, 2BA). Wonderful sunset views from the lanai. We are already trying to book this condo for early 2025. I think it is very good value for the cost. It is a quiet condo, perfect for relaxing! We liked the location too, a short walk to restaurants, grocery store etc.

Spending 5 nights at this beautiful property was wonderful. Whales, monk seals, sea turtles and a great location. Before arrival, excellent communication from the property management. Check in was easy, communications were clear, and the property was clean and offers breathtaking views. The air conditioning in the building was not working but I did get communications from the management company to advise prior to arrival. It did get warm in the condo but the breeze on the balcony was enjoyable. Honestly, there was so much whale activity, I could hardly leave the balcony. Thanks for a great stay. If you are wondering if you will love it, you will.

We had the VERY good fortune of booking this listing last minute and we were both blown away by the cleanliness, completeness and true hosting that we were met with. Many vacation rentals feel impersonal and have lost the "local touch". NOT THIS ONE! From the moment you book the communication and recommendations are what I would expect from a 5 star property, and this is exactly that!

Very comfortable condo and great overall building facilities and management. We could not ask for a better oceanfront view with its amazing whale and turtle action during our February stay.
Herb C.
March 2024

This was the perfect condo for a perfect vacation! The floor to ceiling windows were incredible. We could hear the ocean waves every night as we slept. During the day, it’s like the whales were performing a show just for us. We saw them completely breach and come fully out of the water. Better than any whale watching tour we’ve ever been on. And, we saw several sea turtles! So many great conveniences were provided including coolers, a snorkel set with mask, beach umbrella, beach chairs, kitchen essentials such as sandwich bags, plastic wrap, containers of all types, spices, etc. All of those things came in VERY handy! We definitely want to book another vacation in this condo!
Adam I.
March 2024

We absolutely loved our stay! It was whale season and we could sit and view whales for hours in the perfectly located 2 swivel chairs by the windows. The condo building is located right beside Duke's restaurant that we could walk to eat. It is also located right beside a boardwalk that you can take all the way to Black Rock and Whalers Village. We can't wait to stay again.
