Steps from the Sand ! Stunning Curated Interior Mahana at Kaanapali. Fully AC!
The Mahana at Kaanapali Unit 317, Lahaina, Maui
We are trying to capture the essence of resort living with the cool and casual style of Tommy Bahama's new lines of furniture. Fully stocked gourmet kitchens with brand new appliances, bathroom with dual sinks (a rarity with one-bedroom suite), washer and dryer will make sure that you will feel pampered and relaxed after an active day at the beach.
Stroll our mile-long stretch of beach, snorkel just offshore, relax at the oceanfront swimming pool. Explore West Maui's many beaches and bays, championship golf course in Kapalua, fine shopping at Whalers Village.
Instead of purchasing a condo that was partially upgraded to the previous owner's taste or budget, we selected this condo because we can start with a clean slate. The materials, appliances, and furniture we chose are the reflection of our desire to have a luxury oasis for our guests, or when we visit. My wife hates it when we spent our hard-earned money on vacation and stay at a place that is not nicer than our own home. Therefore, we are doing our best to make sure that our guests enjoy the inside of our unit as much as they are enjoying the beautiful, well-kept ground at the Mahana or the spectacular ocean view.
Here are what you will be enjoying when you stay at our newly remodeled unit. We break the bank but you won't have to. :-) * Central air and ceiling fans in every room * Complimentary WIFI * Complimentary parking with no resort fees. * New tile floor. American Orlean porcelain tile plank to mimic light wood flooring throughout the condo and the lanai. * Columbia cabinetry with Top Knob cabinet pulls, white Quartz countertop. ** All new dishes, glasses, silverware, pots, etc ... * All new appliances: Bosch dishwasher, Bosch slide-in stove, MAYTAG side by side refrigerator with an ice maker, washer and dryer. * Full-size Maytag washer and dryer * Brand new shower, toilet, and vanity.

Property and amenities very much as described. Very very clean. Quality furnishings, updated and very comfortable. Quyen was always quick to respond.The location of the condo on the third floor in our opinion was perfect. Very convenient to access the pool and bbq areas. The generallocation of the complex was also very convenient for accessing nearby grocery store, restaurants, food truck plaza, Dukes, and most importantly the beach. The view and access to the beach, surf, and ocean cannot be beat! It was spectacular! So convenient to snorkel or just lounge. We also spent lots of time on the lanai. We will be back. Thanks for being a great host Quyen!
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.
There is nothing at all to say negative. The Host is the best. She helped me get the condo booked. The condo is legit- just like the pic show and the descriptions. Everything was very easy. It felt like a home away from home. Mahalo to the team.
WOW…This property is a 10/10. It is very well appointed and equipped. Location, Location….you would not have nicer at a 5 star Resort…..The sunsets and views are stunning! Quyen and Michael have thought of every detail to make you feel pampered and relaxed…..Outstanding Hosts….Thank you for sharing with us!
The place is amazing! Well furnished with couch, tv, comfy bed and a washer & dryer! Steps from the beach and close to restaurants and food stores. Loved staying here and watching the sunset on the lanai! Had everything we needed.
I was blown away by the condo. It was clean and updated. It was very impressive, we were very happy. We got to watch spinners and turtles right from our room. It was amazing.
Great property, extremely clean and well maintained. Terrific location. Definitely would recommend and consider coming back again. Hosts communicated well and were pleasant to deal with.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is unbeatable — just steps from the water with stunning views that made every morning and evening unforgettable. 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!
We had a wonderful time staying at this property! Lahaina was a dream come true and we will definitely return upon our first opportunity. Beautiful condo, well appointed, and literally steps from the beach. It was a glorious experience.
This condo was perfect for my honeymoon for 5 days. It is right on a beautiful beach and part of a very nice condo-resort. Centrally located to a bunch of nearby food/restaurants. The sunset is amazing. 10/10 would recommend!

Thank you Ian for selecting us for your honeymoon!
The views are incredible. The place is immaculate and very well furnished with so many extras that most owners never consider providing, but make life easier when on vacation. Walking distance to grocery, food trucks and good restaurants. The beach across for swimming is very close. Out front is not ideal for swimming but it is less than 100 yards to a swim beach. There were two large adult green turtles that came ashore for a rest twice, right in front of the condo. Spectacular to see. We weren't their during whales, but I can only imagine the views and show they must put on right there. The bed, linens, furniture were all comfortable. Slept well. The kitchen very well laid out. Ate in for most breakfast and some dinners and always had an easy time. Highly recommend
The best stay we have had at a rental, by far. There was nothing missing, every detail was thought about and provided to the maximum level.Highly recommend. Will be back to stay and will share listing with all friends and family.Mahalo
Adjacent to resort with Duke's restaurant, making it a short 2 minute walk. Better beach access and views than resort, and more privacy.Be aware that the LR photo is a bit deceiving d/t wall of mirrors. Great shower, a/c and ice/water in fridge door.
The condo is clean, beautiful, and has a gorgeous view. It has everything you could need from a full kitchen to snorkel gear and beach towels. Very comfortable place to call home while on vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Quyen
Aloha, We live in Southern California with our two school-age sons. We own a few long-term rental properties in California but this is our first vacation rental property. We firmly believe in the "pride of ownership". So all our properties were remodeled as if we were going to live in them. We feel that if we make our properties look nice; they will attract tenants who care about how their homes look. They are the people who will take care of the place during their stay.
Therefore, we don't see this unit as a vacation rental. We see it as our home away from home, and we would like to share it with people who will enjoy (and take good care of) this place as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
At the time of our purchase, this unit has been neglected for many years and needs major upgrading. My wife loves to remodel and redecorate houses, so she sees the potential of this place. We decided that we will make a major investment to turn this place into a home, even though it will not make financial sense for a vacation rental business.
We have spent countless hours researching on the internet (agonizing over every little design decision). We also stayed in the condo for a week before finalizing on the remodeling and the furnishing. We are looking forward to seeing the final results of our dream home. We hope that you are going to be excited about staying here and will be extremely satisfied when you leave.
We look forward to building memories as we return to visit this place year after year. We hope that you will build your own memories as you enjoy our place.
What makes this property unique
Upon entering our premium one-bedroom condo, you will be greeted by our tranquil beachfront view. Palm trees from the beach will provide protection from the afternoon sun. You will enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the spectacular sunset from our lanai furnished with Janus' Viola outdoor dining set.
Columbia cabinetry (environmentally friendly) and beautiful white quartz countertops, our kitchen provides everything you need to cook for and serve four people (plus a couple of dinner guests). Our brand new FULL-SIZE washer and dryer will keep your clothes looking great after a day at the beach.
You will be rewarded with a blissful night's sleep in our beautiful and comfortable king-size bed with luxurious linen and the gentle crashing of the waves on the beach. Our condo can accommodate an additional two guests with the queen-size sleeper in the living room.
You will enjoy starting your day with a tastefully remodeled bathroom with dual-sink vanity (a rarity for a one-bath unit in our building).
