About this property

Maui Oceanfront, Top Floor Ocean View in Kahana Reef

Hurray...after three years, construction on the sea wall is complete with new landscaping, new steps to the ocean and beach. It looks beautiful. Also, because of COVID-19 we have updated our cleaning process to include complete sanitation of the condo including all touchable surfaces. This is in compliance with the new CDC regulations.

Aloha and Welcome to Paradise!

You are one step away from enjoying a relaxing Hawaiian vacation of a lifetime.
Let me know if you are new to Maui, I can help.

KAHANA REEF 420 (TOP FLOOR) is a Quiet, Friendly property in Desired C Building at Kahana Reef with DIRECT OCEANFRONT ( closest to the Beach and Ocean ), conveniently located between Lahaina and Kapalua on the West side of Maui.

Kahana Reef Unit 420 has it all:

 - New, Beautifully appointed accommodations
- “A” Rating
 - Right on the oceanfront with 180 degree unobstructed view
 - Very Private Top Floor
 - A great location on West Maui
 - Access to beautiful beach and reef
 - Walking distance to world famous Napili Bay
 - 2 Elevators
 - Free Parking
 - An affordable price.

Our condo is located away from crowds and high rise hotels in a unique private area of peace and tranquility. They also have extremely quiet interiors due to the thick concrete block construction that includes the extended block walls on the lanai for your added privacy.

What a difference it makes to stay right on the oceanfront! The surf gently splashing on the seawall, ocean breezes from the trade winds, captivated by the deep blue sea and the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Rainbows abound. Front row seat to every sunset…different and exciting.

Don't forget to look down from the lanai and watch for the sea turtles poking their cute heads above the water as they feed against the sea wall inside the reef. When in season whale watching between December and April is really exciting as you watch whales coming through the channel from the privacy of your own top floor balcony.

You have many options in Maui, but a vacation right on the oceanfront is like no other. The crashing of the waves with the Hawaiian trade winds is like no other relaxing experience.

Kahana Reef 420 is beautifully appointed in a tropical island theme. The décor has been upgraded, setting it apart from the typical Hawaiian condo:

 - Granite counter tops
 - Stainless appliances
 - New kitchen cabinets
 - New tile flooring
 - Beautiful new marble walk-in shower
 - Free Internet Service
 - 42' Flat screen TV
- very comfortable bed

The location on West Maui is ideal - nestled between the vacation mecca of Kaanapali and the luxury of Kapalua. The world-class beaches at Napili, Kapalua, and Honolua are a few minutes away and there are plenty of shops, restaurants and stores in walking distance. We are happy to provide details of our favorite experiences.

Kahana Reef 420 offers the finest vacation on Maui, at an affordable price. And the finest condo in Kahana Reef is a luxury that you can afford. For a complete immersion in Hawaiian Aloha come stay with us at Kahana Reef 420. Aloha!

**WE EMPLOY AN ON-ISLAND MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND TO ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE DURING YOUR STAY. KAHANA REEF ALSO EMPLOYS A VERY CONSCIENTIOUS ON-SITE MANAGER.

YOU MAY FIND LESS EXPENSIVE CONDOS, BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND BETTER FOR THE PRICE.

We love this location and have stayed in the area before, but not in this particular group (Kahana Reef). The unit was great! Only feedback is that it would be nice to have a few more drinking glasses so we weren’t washing as often and to have some plastic cup options. In addition, the outside light that shines into the bedroom at night kept the room pretty light which made sleeping a bit more difficult, so darker curtains would help. Since there is no AC, the fans could be more substantial as well. Overall, it’s a great deal!! The ocean view is wonderful!!

This condo was absolutely perfect. The view is unbeatable. The little beach is great for sitting and watching the sunset. The winds kept the condo cool throughout the day and night. 10/10 would recommend! Stocked with everything we needed for our stay and couldn’t be happier.

Will definitely be back

We had an amazing 8 day stay and will for sure stay here again. We had breakfast and dinners on the patio overlooking the ocean, when we ate in. All the pans and cooking utensils I needed was available plus more. Previous renters left good spices & coffee which was nice. There was a nice breeze in the bed room at night with the window open. There was cleaning supplies to use through the week with a vacuum and broom for the sand. We was nicely surprised how comfortable the king size bed was. What I thought could definitely use improvement is the property management, whom your supposed to call with questions. We had 3 occurrences and could not reach anyone. Every time we had to call the owner, he was amazing & got things taken care of quickly with no frustration. He was on it and apologetic. Thanks & we'll be back.

Not quite what the cover photo shows - but still nice...

We were a little disappointed when we got the details about where we were going to stay, a couple of days prior to our arrival. The main photo on VRBO actually showed the view from the balcony but had nothing to do with the condo itself. The condo has a relatively narrow layout (all condos there are as wide as the balcony) and it is located on the top floor of a four story building. We found it quite a bit misleading that the cover photo showed a building which has nothing to do with the actual place itself. A foot note which you can see when you scroll through all photos actually mentions what the photo really shows but who reads all that? I have to admit that we ended up enjoying our time there and the view really is great! You can sit on the balcony and enjoy beautiful sunsets and listen to the surf just a few feet away. Please do not get me wrong: I do not want to discourage people from booking this place - just be aware that you are not going to stay in one of those buildings shown in the picture. For all guests who like Chinese food, we can definitely recommend the restaurant just across the street called "China Boat". So, after all, it is not a bad place at all - just a little different from what we had expected.

Not well cleaned. I don’t think you are getting my moneys worth on the cleaning.!

Broken screen and jealousie window that would not close was noted by cleaning staff prior to our arrival. We pushed a chair up against it to keep screen from falling into condo. The screen on sliding door to lanai does not lock. Appears that a lock was once on it at one time, Dishwasher leaked when I ran it. Curtain rod fixture on one end in bedroom hanging down from ceiling so I was afraid to try to open that window. Air vent grille broken above shower head, revealing very dusty and rusty air duct interior. Surfaces of table, counters and stove were smeared and greasy. Dust and even a used water bottle on floor carpet behind the lamp table next to bed. Bed skirt was torn and not staying put. Dust and wall size pictures lying under the bed. Carpet in bedroom appears in need of shampooing or replacement. These comments are for Gene only and not for posting. I am sure he does not know how we found the condo. Perhaps I should have taken pictures and sent to him. I thought some common items like salt, pepper and sugar should be in the kitchen and a few coffee packs too. Aside from that, we did love the views from the lanai, and would return if our budget allows again. Would be nice if there was a senior discount so that folks like us on fixed incomes could benefit. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience with you. Aloha Gene!

Great ocean views but...

We contacted the mgt company the night we arrived re the parking permit and got the answering svc. Mgt texted us the next day, but we called them back with further questions so they def had our contact info available. This is when we also learned that the condo had not been inspected prior to our arrival (this is policy) because there wasn’t time. We didn’t know there was a concern regarding the fridge-see previous review. We were never told a technician would be coming in. We came back to the unit to find a technician in the unit unattended. We contacted both the host and mgt company to relay our disconcerts of this unauthorized entry. The host stated he thought someone was coming in prior to our arrival and mgt stated they didn’t have our contact info. The host was also made aware of the lack of cleanliness; the coffee filter holder with grounds in it, the food in the garbage disposal, the need to clean the sink and disposal myself. The crumbs in the toaster, a broken kitchen drawer, a dirty pillow sham on the floor of the bedroom and the unit wasn’t inspected prior to our arrival. The host apologized and offered a 20% discount if we rented again but when I suggested a 20% refund for our troubles he declined. One phone conversation he stated he wished he was there instead of us. Great balcony views and beach access but the mgt company and host not so much. This review only allows so many characters so unable to provide full details of this experience

Difficult Host

Property overall was fine. Great view. It became difficult because of the host. We came back from the beach one day and the refrigerator wasn’t working properly. The ice wasn’t freezing and there was a puddle of water on the top shelf of the fridge. We notified the host and he said that he had just had it serviced 2 weeks ago and proceeded to tell me to make sure the door was closed and said if was still a problem he would get someone out right away. I told him I would check back in later and let him know how it was going. The fridge seemed to sometimes work and sometimes not. It took 2 days to make ice, our food was perspiring in the fridge. I let the host know that we didn’t trust the fridge. Last thing we want is food poisoning. He said thanks for letting him know. We kept our milk and juice in the freezer and that worked. Never froze for 3 days! Sounds like a problem to me. He never sent anyone out, we had to eat out for our last 3 meals. I didn’t want to spend my vacation focused on the fridge so I just let it be. When we arrived home, I contacted the host about the process for reimbursement for our list food and loss of the use of the fridge. (Side note-we were delayed on our arrival because of weather and the host offered to extend our stay by a night. We said we wouldn’t be staying an extra night but would take him up on the offer for a late check out as our flight was in the evening.) Below is the host’s response to my question regarding any reimbursement The reason I have not responded sooner is that I was waiting for the response from the appliance technician. I just spent $96 to pay for the service provider to tell me that there was nothing wrong with the refrigerator. Possibly you would like to reimburse me for the service provider and for the extended checkout time that was graciously provided to you at no cost. Let me know. Best regards, A couple of things here: He said if I still had concerns he would send someone out. He didn’t. He knew we had a several meals in the fridge and took no steps to ease our minds in order to use the fridge. I would rather have had my food and saved another $300 eating out than have an extra 5 hours at the condo. The “extra” night had no financial loss to him and has absolutely nothing to do with the fridge I’m a reasonable person. I would have been ok if he just said that he didn’t find anything wrong with the fridge it didn’t warrant a reimbursement. But this response?

Great location and view

Beautiful View! We would give this condo five stars for the view and location, but only three for the condo itself. The pros were the gorgeous view 20 feet from the ocean, sunsets, sea turtles up close, whales in the distance, comfortable bed, nice granite countertops and the whole condo was very clean when we arrived. Previous reviews complained about the door access code panel, but this appears to have been fixed. There were several items in the condo that needed repairs: the ice maker (they did have trays to make our own ice), the toaster lever, the toilet paper holder (kept falling off the wall), the bedroom closet door stuck in the track, some outlets did not work, the markings around the knobs on the stove were worn off and it was hard to tell how hot you were turning the stove, there was no microwave plate on the turntable. There was no dustpan to go with the broom. There were boogie boards in the closet, but they were cracked. The check-in process was confusing and not well explained, however this may be better once the Safe Travels Hawaii program has ended. The wonderful ocean breeze did not get back into the bedroom even with all the windows open, so for us northerners it was sometimes too hot for comfortable sleeping. A pair of binoculars would be a nice amenity for a better look at the whales.

Great location but unit needs some updating and care.

This condo is in a great location and the view is amazing! I loved being on the top floor having coffee and whale watching in the morning. We’ll come back here for sure. However, checking in was complicated. We were not able to get the room key until after we sent the property manager our QR code from Safe Hawaii travel. We sent them the QR code but it wasn’t in a format that they were anticipating so we had to “argue” our case as to why we didn’t have what they we’re looking for. Also, the room key is an electronic code that requires several attempts before it actually unlocks the door. Every time we entered the room we were forced to enter the code a minimum of 5-10 times. I called the local property manager and requested to have the battery changed out but that never happened. (We stayed a full week.) Microwave plate was missing, toaster needs repair, half of the electrical outlets didn’t work, drapes in the bedroom are jammed and should probably be replaced.

Great Hawaii Stay

Spent 8 nights in height of whale watching season. Some days spent almost entirely watching the water from the lanai. Saw 5-6 turtles, dozens of whales (bring binoculars) a harmless reef shark, a barracuda, (though those fishing never seemed to catch anything), rainbows, sunrises and sunsets. Kept the air flowing through all day and night which kept temperatures comfortable. (Not sure what summer temps feel like without A/C.) Ate in every meal. Quiet neighbors. Decent pay laundry facilities. All in all a great place for us.

Central location

This condo had all you needed. I will say the beds weren’t the most comfortable, the bedroom is very soft and the hidabed mattress we put on the floor but could still feel mattress springs, certainly time to perhaps invest on those things. I had most of my communications with the owner Gene who was pleasant and helpful. What you read in the other reviews is true, you can’t beat the view. The sea wall in front has rocks beneath that turtles feed off of, we saw more turtles here than anywhere on the island. The beach is small but nice enough to cool down and play in the water, quite a safe little beach for the little ones. Pool is small but does the job. I wouldn’t recommend staying here without a car though because you are in between some pretty fabulous places that you’ll want to adventure to. Be sure to head North to Honolua Bay, Kapalua Bay and Napili Bay. Amazing snorkeling and beaches. South you’ve got to go to Black Rock beach, such a beautiful spot. Paia fish market in Lahaina for reasonably priced fish and Star noddle house for some great asian tapas and ramen. Enjoy! 😉

Great location with beautiful ocean/sunset views

Kitchen well appointed. Comfy bed. New kitchen and bathroom with plenty of towels and paper products. Very quiet property with great location. Only complaint is the lock on door did not work properly and took 3-7 times, each time we left, entering code to open. Thank goodness upon arrival we were able to finally get in as it was after hours. Left messages with Maui condo and the host. Maui condo finally contacted us the next day. Never heard from ‘host’ as his mailbox was full. Dealt with this uncertainty for 5 days. They would have sent someone to check it out but needed to be present. On vacation, we were never there during working hours. ☹️ I will contact Maui condos again and I’m sure they will resolve this, but after hours ? good luck.

Perfect Spot

This was our fourth time on Maui, but first time away from the big resorts. We loved it here and could easily have stayed another month. There is nothing fancy, but it was just what we wanted. Quiet, except for the sound of the waves. We ate all meals on the deck, grilled often, (fresh fish from the Fish Market Maui just down the street a couple miles). Enjoyed turtles, sunsets, and stars everyday and Mantas a couple of days. The bed was very comfortable and a great shower. Although it is listed for four, I would definitely not do this with another couple (even kids would be difficult), but perfect for two. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes, pans, etc. but nothing besides salt and pepper, so buy your own olive oil, etc. if you plan to cook. There were a few housekeeping issues (no shampoo, no washcloths, no extra towels), but most resolved quickly. The tiny beach accessed from the condo is underwater at high tide, but there is another small beach with public access just half a block away (or you can brave going around the rocks to get to it). Not a great place for kids, in my opinion. Access to the pool was extremely limited (COVID related, I think), but you could enjoy the grassy area right on the ocean all day long with owner provided chairs. Would definitely return.

A perfect stay!

I strongly recommend staying at this property! The location cannot be beat - the unit is directly on the water, with a small adjacent beach. The unit is central to all activities and destinations on the west side of Maui, while removed from the large crowds. The unit is as pictured, with an updated kitchen and functional (albeit slightly dated) furniture and decor. There were some unexpected issues during my stay, including water being shut off in the building on multiple days and half the parking lot being closed for repaving, causing challenges to find a parking spot. Although this was outside of the control of the owner, it would have been helpful to have been informed of the ongoing construction in advance of the booking. Otherwise, Gene was very communicative and helpful. I would return to this unit on a future stay!

Perfect View and Quiet Location Close to Everything

This condo is on the fourth floor. We enjoyed breakfast on the patio every morning and enjoyed the fabulous view of the ocean. It’s nice to have a full kitchen. There is a turtle we saw daily and an amazing double rainbow our first morning. We ate at Bubba Gumps, Sea House, and Kimos all at sunset. The views, food and service were outstanding. We saw so many whales, I lost count on Ultimate Whale Watch 2 hour with Captain Benjamin. Bought snorkels and went to several spots the best being by the yellow life guard stand where we swam with more than 5 turtles. We kept our distance of course. To top it off, we enjoyed a full moon our last evening. Thank you Gene for making your place available. Can’t imagine getting a better oceanfront location without all of the tourist hubbub for the money.

Paradise found

Although rental rate for this property was sky high, the suite was situated practically on top of the beach. We spent hours watching whale spoutings and tail flips just from our balcony! We were lulled asleep by the soothing roar of the pounding surf and waves slapping up over the shore. Such a gorgeous view! Condo complex was so easy to find and easily accessible from anywhere on the island. The only downside was the bad weather and storm knocking out power for several hours, inconveniencing us when we needed the elevator. Also, when we arrived, the landline phone didn't work and needed new batteries, and the tv did not work. However, our landlord Gene was quick to respond to our communiques, and problems were rectified expeditiously. The handyman who came to fix the problems was wonderful! Quick, obliging and so friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend this condo to anyone!

Great location

My husband and I stayed for 10 days. The place was clean, well equipped with all the basics we needed. We did a trip to Costco before arriving, and did the majority of the cooking on site. We did get locked out one time but the property manager was able to get us a new code in less than 5 minutes. The bed is very comfortable but we chose to sleep on the pull out bed, so we could enjoy the ocean noise/breeze. We rented this place while construction was being done. ( which we were well aware of before booking). The noise did not bother us because they started working after 830am and quit fairly early afternoon. We are early risers and had left before the construction started and returned just before or after they were done . This unit does not have AC and it is clearly stated in the description. Being from AZ I was a bit nervous about this. There is no need for AC, as this unit has a very nice breeze that blows through. We would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular View

As you walk into the unit, the view just catches your breath.It was exciting to see a small family of turtles showing up everyday in front of the unit. The location is great, not too far from Lahaina and the snorkeling beaches of Napili and Kapalua. Overall the unit is very comfortable, and had all the basics needed for our stay. We were pleasantly surprised to find a beach umbrella and a couple of chairs to enjoy. The well known Maui trade winds kept the unit cool by having the front door open. The ceiling fan in the bedroom was perfect. Thank you Gene for contacting us immediately after making the reservation, in regards to the construction noise (I did not read the small print) but we were not concerned since our plan was to be out of the unit during the day. We will definitely plan a return!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a retired couple, married for 50 years, two boys and 3 grandchildren. We have enjoyed Maui for over 25 years and enjoying sharing our condo with guest from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We searched for almost 9 months to find the perfect spot on Maui. This condo is constructed of all concrete including floors, walls and ceiling, very quiet. When we purchased it had been remodeled. We remodeled it again to our specifications and it is absolutely beautiful. It is located about 25 feet from the ocean with an incredible 180 degree view of the ocean and outer islands. The condo faces west with beautiful sunsets every night, any time of year. During whale season you can see the whales breach. The condo is also centrally located on the west side of Maui, secluded and quiet yet close enough to restaurants, hotels, shopping and Old Town Lahaina. Contact me at genoabba@yahoo.com with any questions.
