Only 20 yards from the beach! It is the ideal spot to see humpback whales, monk seals, or dolphins! You might even spot a sea turtle!
In the morning, swim in the Mahana's private oceanside pool, snorkel the coral reef out front or stroll along the uncrowded sandy beach below.
In the evening, enjoy a few minutes in the spa under the stars and fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore.

Beautiful and great location, i do believe the bedding’s in both rooms need to be upgraded as the master bedroom futon bed was not as comfortable and would prefer a standard king size bed and new pillows would be nice in both bedrooms too as they seemed to be outdated with the living couch otherwise excellent views, easy check in and location
Peaceful and serene home with billion dollar views. The home was very comfortable and well supplied with all the necessities. The decor was beautiful. Linens were new. We loved it! Hope to stay again soon.
We've been renting units on VRBO and other sites for over 15 years. This is far and away the best rental we've ever had anywhere. The views were breathtaking, truly the best on the beach. The unit and building were clean and well kept, the beds, recliners and couch were very comfortable and the artwork was exquisite. To top it off, we saw many whales playing in the surf everyday of our stay.
1st impressions are everything and the view is legitimately a show stopper. What an incredible home! Thank you Kathy!Its like a fantasy, my girls all went straight to it!

Mahana stay number 8
We have stayed at the Mahana 9 times and we love it The view from this unit is spectacular Unfortunately the air conditioning did not work for the majority of our stay We know that the whole tower was out but nights were very hot a couple of fans would have helped The dishwasher was not working and repair man couldn’t fix it The toilet in master bedroom was leaking The owner responded to our concerns but unfortunately. nothing was done We love the Mahana and this unit has the best view of any we have stayed at but the issues we had did affect our stay .
Spacious condo with the best ocean view! Whale watchers dream!
This condo is much more spacious than it appears in photos! Once you turn the corner in the hallway and see that view, you will be speechless! We spent many hours just looking out the windows into the ocean or on the lanai. We saw so many whales, turtles, rainbows, surfers (even a kite surfer) and gorgeous sunsets all right outside the window…it was a dream! The property is lovely, with a nice heated pool, spacious hot tub and shuffleboard. The location is excellent and not nearly as busy as Whaler’s Village area (which was a huge plus for us). We loved being able to walk to Duke’s, the awesome Honokōwai Food Truck Park, Pizza Paradiso, and Times Supermarket (great prices!)…and you're only a quick drive to Whaler’s Village, Napili and Kapalua. Kathy provides everything you may need in the condo…beach toys, towels, endless kitchen utensils. Thank you, Kathy, for your hospitality! I will be dreaming of that view for a long time…we loved our stay and would recommend in a heartbeat!
This place was great! Amazing view and ideal location to hit all the beaches on West Maui. Hosts were great and communicated clearly! Highly recommend and we’ll definitely look to stay here again on future visits!
We had a wonderful 10 day stay at this very lovely condo. The ocean views are absolutely breathtaking. We woke up every day to breakfast on the balcony where we were able to watch whales jumping, dolphins playing, and sea turtles. The condo had everything we needed and the kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. Mahalo for a great stay.
Lovely, quiet property with spectacular ocean views. Kitchen is well stocked. Be aware that the master bed, although very comfortable is on a platform a foot or so off of the floor. If you have mobility issues, knees or hips, then getting in and out of this bed is challenging.
Kathy & David: We dad a wonderful time at your home! The view was amazing & we especially love seeing the sea turtles every day in the water. Your property was a perfect vacation getaway!
What an incredible place!! This was our third trip to Maui and this place provided the best views we’ve had. The location was perfect for all of the adventures we had planned. Will always recommend this place to friends.
What an amazing place! The floor to ceiling windows make for a spectacular view! Everything you need for an outstanding stay. We enjoyed the view of the sunset every night and breakfast on the lanai every morning. Clean, comfortable and plenty of amenities.
We loved staying here. Amazing, breathtaking views. Saw whales and sea turtles from the condo. Everything we needed was there. Ample room for me and my husband and our two teenagers. Short easy walk to the beach, food trucks, and grocery store.
just a great place to have a home base to enjoy the island. When we werent out doing activities we would stare at the pacific ocean just like on the balcany of a cruise ship-nothing but water. Enjoyed it.
It was a seamless process. We had a fabulous vacation. The location was perfect and the unit was beautiful. It also had amazing views. Watching the whales from the lanai was perfect.
Easy communication, clear instructions. Sunsets, whales and sea turtles from the lanai and floor to ceiling windows. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds. Great location. Couldn’t have been any better.
The views from the condo and the lanai are spectacular. We enjoyed watching the whales play while having morning coffee and evening wine. The kitchen was well equipped. The art work and furnishings are beautiful, but functional. Kathy was immediately responsive to questions and issues that arose from the pandemic. We couldn't have asked for a better expereince.
The good:
- Great location, easy walk to the beach, restaurants, a grocery store, food trucks, bars and other resorts.
- The view is a 10. You will not find a better view at any price in this area. Simply amazing.
- The unit is in good condition and well cared for.
- Free parking.
- The onsite staff are friendly and very helpful.
The not so good (but not bad):
- We did have a few issues during our stay (AC needed to be fixed, dishwasher stopped working, we lost water pressure and hot water several times) but the hosts were helpful/responsive and the building maintenance was excellent.
- One thing that would have been nice to know before hand was that there was construction going on at the building. This wasn't a major deal as they typically started after 8am but it was pretty noisy throughout the day.
- There are A LOT of house rules. I would avoid staying in this unit if you have kids or irresponsible adults in your group.
Even with a few minor issues, we had a wonderful stay and I would go back without hesitation.
The view from this condo is spectacular! You will have a tough time beating the amazing view here. We saw sea turtles everyday from the balcony and at the beach. The sound of the waves from the balcony was so peaceful and made for a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee.
For the interior, the mattresses were very comfortable, the kitchen is very modern with great appliances and the kitchen was very clean. Outside of that though, there were a few minor cleanliness issues such as dusty vents and fingerprints on the glass windows. We ended up cleaning some of the glass windows ourselves to better enjoy the view. The guest toilet was leaking during the beginning of our stay which ended up stopping on its own. The toilet doesn’t fill properly and seems to have some type of issue that prevented the bowl from filling with water. There was a miscommunication with the host about maintenance coming in to look at the toilet. We wanted to be there when they came but it wasn’t coordinated properly and they came when we were gone. The host was very responsive when I reached out about the issue with the toilet. The host did communicate that the guest sink had issues with the faucet being very loose and that a replacement part was on order. We avoided using that sink as a result. You can tell the property is a little worn and dated in some ways, but even with a few minor issues the view and location make this place fantastic.
My husband, my 12 y/o granddaughter & I just concluded our 10 day stay in Kathy & David’s Mahana condo. Our plane landed at night so we didn’t have much to see on our drive to Kaanapali. We easily checked-in, got settled in the condo & went to bed, exhausted. When we woke up the next morning we were greeted with the most stunning view from the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the beach. The view took our collective breaths away. Wow, just wow!
The condo is well-equipped with everything you would need if you find yourself inclined to cook (I didn’t LOL). Staples such as spices, cooking oils, etc are ample. Plenty of dishes, glasses, pots & pans, etc. You have a choice of drip coffee machine, a single cup Keurig, or a French Press. The bedrooms were comfortable with ample closet & drawer space. Sitting each morning with a cup of coffee in the comfortable recliner chairs overlooking the ocean was the perfect way to begin the day. It was also the perfect way to watch the sun set each evening. Although it was the end of whale season, we spotted whales in the distance on a number of occasions. We also saw many sea turtles from the condo & watched them battle the waves to get out to sea. My granddaughter was thrilled with all these sightings. The closet filled with beach gear made beach days very easy & enjoyable. Kathy & David provided toiletries to get us started, which got us through the first few days. The appliances are all high-end Miele & were easy to use & worked well.
Kathy & David’s condo guide was very helpful with suggestions for activities, restaurants & shopping.

Stunning view!
There is a lot about this condo to love, but first and foremost is the view. We saw many mother and calf whale pairs from our perch on the sofa. Watching them jump and splash was a joy. The photos are accurate-- it is a very clean, comfortably decorated townhouse with a dated but very well equipped kitchen. Everything we needed for meal preparation was there, including spices. We did have a issue with the kitchen lighting-- the light would not stay on for longer than 10 minutes or so at a time- it would then short out and could not be turned back on. It would turn back on 10-15 minutes later. This made meal prep difficult -- there was a dim light over the sink and another over the counter, but without the overhead, I couldn't see food at the stove area at all. I noticed this was mentioned in other reviews and the owner fixed it in the past, but it was still happening during out stay.
There is a very nice community grill set up by the pool with multiple well maintained propane grills- we grilled there twice. The beach right outside is really just for fishing and looking at- a good swimming beach is a 1/2 mile walk. We were delighted to find boogie boards and two chairs that we could use during out stay.
The one thing that really bothered us was the sink in the master bath. It is a lovely "art" bronze sink that is a bit impractical to use (water splashes out while you wash your face, for example). By the sink was a small framed notice announcing that the sink was a work of art and must be washed and hand dried after EVERY use! It also instructed us to use nothing but "gentle soap" in the sink. As one must pay a deposit when booking the condo, I was concerned that if my toothpaste or other product stained the faux "aged" finish or if I damaged the finish by failing to gently wash and dry the sink after every use I would lose my deposit. Frankly, my feeling is that a bathroom sink should be durable enough to stand up to typical bathroom use. The owner should either replace this sink with something more typical or accept that normal use will change the faux "aged" finish on the sink surface. Washing and drying the sink after one uses the toilet in the middle of the night is an annoyance. Nagging my husband to wash and dry the sink after brushing his teeth was not fun either.
Overall, this is a great place with much to recommend it. If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars.
