I apologize, my description is long. A Maui vacation is expensive. To help with your decision, I've added lots of photos and details. My condo is very personal to me. It's a relaxing retreat, where I've added plenty of amenities for my guests, grown children, and grandchildren.
Most people picture in their minds their dream vacation, directly on a beach in summer, with magnificent sunrises, romantic sunsets, and being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves.
My ground floor, corner condo could fulfill that dream. When you walk in, the view of the ocean from the living room is awesome. When you go outside, the spectacular 180° views will take your breath away. Every morning, relax on the lanai watching the sun come up over Haleakala and turtles popping up in the waves.
My condo is at the highly rated, ocean/beach front, Kanai A Nalu. On over 2 acres with an oceanside shower, solar heated pool, pool-side eating area and commercial BBQs.
In winter when our beach is rocky, it's just a 1-minute walk to the "always sandy" SUGAR BEACH, the longest beach on Maui. If you visit my condo during whale watching season (Nov - Apr), experience the thrill of seeing them breaching out in the bay from our lanai. It's a truly unforgettable experience.
With our unit being ground floor, you don't have to walk up and down stairs multiple times a day to go to the beach, use the pool, or the BBQ's. And you don't have to carry luggage to the back of the complex, for the elevator.
Our condo has a "relaxed", tropical island feel with bamboo and rattan pieces. Most of the furnishings are new and a few pieces are not (but in very good condition). Those that want a contemporary, hi-end hotel-room look, can book one of the completely remodeled, modern-look units that charge more. Some without offering central air. Maui can get up to 90’s degrees, with the humidity at 80%. Central air is a must, much of the year. One with a built-in dehumidifier is even better.
Some condo's main bedrooms are open to the living room with thin sliding walls, offering no insulation from the noise of others. Our main bedroom’s solid walls and locking door offers privacy and a quiet retreat. It has windows facing the shore, and the pool due, to its corner location.
The 2nd Bedroom has twins that can be converted to a king. In the living room is a Queen Sleeper sofa with a comfortable memory foam mattress.
The main bathroom has a walk-in/roll-in shower (wheelchair accessible) with convenient hand held and wall mounted shower heads. The 2nd bathroom has a full-size tub with a shower above. Both have cooling ceiling fans, new wall mounted hair dryers (leave yours at home), and "comfort height" toilets for seniors or those with bad backs.
Besides the extensive list above, amenities also include children's dishes and utensils, 2 coffee makers, (K-cups and grounds), a toaster, a new toaster oven, a Ninja blender (for smoothies), a hand blender, pots, pans, cook ware, dishes and wine glasses. There's even an iron & ironing board. Read our reviews to learn what our guests say about everything we provide for them, while on vacation.
Plus, I send all my guests detailed information on what's close by, top rated restaurants, grocery stores that deliver, the spectacular road to Hana and more. I want them to have the best vacation possible. I've been going to Maui for over 20 years and love to share what I've learned.
My condo is just 1/4 mile from Maalaea Harbor, offering whale-watching trips, snorkeling excursions, and sunset dinner cruises. At the harbor are 4-star dining, gift and specialty shops, a Starbucks, the Maalaea General store, a gas station, Maui Golf and sports (fun park) and the renowned Maui Ocean Center—Maui’s top attraction.
Our location is perfect because Maalaea is centrally located. 15 minutes from the airport or Paia (reminiscent of a little Lahaina), 10 minutes from Kihei, 20 minutes to upcountry for wine tasting, 15 minutes from the breathtaking Iao Valley, and 18 minutes from upscale Wailea, for an authentic Hawaiian luau.
The photo of our complex was taken years ago. We had a lovely beach year-round. It starting disappearing in the winter of 2022 due to the rise in sea level. In the Spring & Summer, during low tide, we still have sand out front (see photos from July 2025). During winter's high tide, the beach out front is rocky.
We are very fortunate that the ALWAYS sandy "Sugar Beach" starts just beyond our seawall. During high tide, guests can reach Sugar Beach through the complex next door, past their pool (best for seniors). If the tide is low and the sand is high, younger guests can enter between our seawalls.
Also, guests can take a 5-minute stroll along the sidewalk or an 8-second drive down Hauoli Street (to the right), where the road ends at Haycraft Park. The park offers parking, restrooms, and showers. It opens onto breathtaking Sugar Beach, a pristine, 4-mile-long stretch of sand where no development is allowed.
This shoreline is a habitat for Honu (sea turtles), where they lay their eggs. You might even spot them while snorkeling - just remember to keep the required distance. Be mindful that Maalaea, like many areas of Maui, can get breezy to windy in the afternoons as the trade winds pick up.
The condo is steps from a free parking spot (regular and handicap). It has wide doorways and is wheelchair accessible, but not ADA compliant. There are no steps or stairs.
Legally licensed since 2005, Tax ID #TA/GE-052-562-5344-01. When purchased, had a tax classification as a hotel/resort.

About the host
Hosted by Tax ID# GE/TA-052-562-5344-01. Diane Lees. We have on island Property Manager.
I grew up in Southern California. When I was a small child, we camped on the beach (in tents) and later in trailers. I loved the beach. As an adult, I visited the Hawaiian Islands. I decided I had to one day own a beach front condo. I searched for years for just the right property. This is my piece of Paradise, that I now share with visitors to the island.
Why they chose this property
When this condo came on the market I begged, borrowed and talked my grown children into buying it with me. It didn’t take much to convince them. All they had to do was watch a Virtual Tour and they were hooked. After the purchase, we spent more money remodeling and decorating. I keep the tropical feel of the condo because that was what we fell in love with. This is a wonderful, relaxing, and inspiring place!! I can sit on the lanai and have views of the Maui coastline that goes on for miles, or I can watch the waves dance along the shore while my grandchildren play just a few feet away. It’s the Hawaii experience I saw in the movies. The experience I dreamed about.
What makes this property unique
Just being on the ground floor, right on the beach seeing and listening to the waves is AWESOM! And with a double sized lanai that can accommodates 6 guests. My whole family can be together. There is not one condo in the complex that has an over-sized lanai on a corner, offering amazing 180 degree views, where you can see the turtles in the waves right out front and the whales out in the bay. It is worth all the time and money we spend year in and year out, to keep it updated and special. Plus, I have tried to offer as many amenities as possible for our guests, so they can have a truly wonderful vacation.
