Still not sure about your travel dates? Add my condo to WISHLIST, or message me directly with any questions. Book with confidence!
***LOCATION*** This building is about as oceanfront as it gets! Any Maui's future buildings are no longer allowed to build this close to the water, which means you hear the ocean when opening your window. Every day people gather around the seawall to enjoy the sunset, while you can take it all in from a private lanai
The condo is located off Lower Honoapiilani Rd in Lahaina, Maui (Napili-Honokowai on the map - Kahana to the locals), about 15 mins north of the Lahaina downtown. 1-minute walk north you will find yourself on a small secret beach, 5-minute walk south there is a local's favorite beach park with plenty of room for chairs and towels as well as excellent surfing. Within a 10-minute drive, you will have access to several WORLD-CLASS beaches such as Kaanapali, Napili, and Kapalua
Short walking distance to two plazas with restaurants, bars, cafes, and water gear shops
***INSIDE THE CONDO*** Smoke-free environment, super comfy King bed, and the room come equipped with all the essentials for a relaxing island vacation including:
* Various shampoo, lotion, and body wash options in the bathroom, with hairdryer, hair straightener * Bath and beach towels * Water gear: beach totes, snorkeling masks & fins, swimming goggles, beach chairs, umbrella, icebox
***BUILDING AMENITIES*** Two swimming pools, one tennis/basketball court, one laundry room across the street Free designated parking right downstairs Multiple BBQ grills, with one located beneath lanai with unobstructed oceanview
***Other*** Maui is a tropical island and does tend to have bugs and ants during certain times of the year. Although the exterior of the building is routinely treated to help combat this issue and the condo is thoroughly cleaned between each guest, it greatly helps if you leave the screens shut and don't leave any food out to avoid unwanted creatures
This is not resort living, there are some conveniences the large resorts provide that I just can't offer, but my goal is to ensure a smooth & unforgettable experience for you in Aloha State!

Aloha Cindy, so glad you enjoyed all Maui has to offer, and also that our condo had everything you needed! It sounds like you had some great times on the nearby world-class golf courses. Please come back soon, and until then we wish you much Aloha! Mahalo, Crystal and Jim
We spent most of our time on the lanai when we were at the unit. The view was incredible! We saw whales every day and turtles too. The sunsets were incredible as well! We appreciated the list of places to visit and went to most of the ones on the list!
The location is great. View from balcony is perfect, great sunsets, turtle watching. We even saw a shark!! Kitchen was fully equipped with was great since we cooked most of our meals. Place was quiet and relaxing.

We enjoyed the beautiful ocean view, well equipped space that met all needs, and privacy. For those needing beach access, it wasn’t conducive to that. Suggestion would be better pillows. Overall, it was a very nice stay.

Great place- clean, cozy and a convenient location.
Stayed here with my husband and son while visiting the Boulder area. It was perfect for our needs; plenty of space for 3-4 people. Two comfortable king beds, quiet neighborhood close to Pearl St. and campus. Bonus: it's just a few blocks from the Y and they honored our membership so we were able to use the facility for free. If we're ever back in the area, we would definitely stay here again.

Excellent home away from home in paradise!
We found the condo so comfortable, everything you need available including beach gear including snorkeling. Sitting on the lanai at night was spectacular, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was exactly what we'd hoped for. Great location and amenities on the property - enjoyed the garden pool which was nicely shaded for hot days. Highly recommend this as a go-to for Maui.

Aloha Kim, thanks for the wonderful review, and we're so glad you found everything you needed at the condo. Sitting on the lanai is one of our favorite things too, whether to watch the morning sun light up the island of Moloka'i, or the sunsets and turtles. There's never ending beauty! Come back soon!

This place exceeded expectations. Loved all of the things they had for us to take advantage of. Beautiful view ocean-side, great lanai, comfy bed, solid kitchen space, easy access. Owners were awesome at communication. Place felt better than pictures let on. Wonderful stay - can’t beat it for the price! Perfect for a couples get away!

Everything about this property is perfect
This condo is by far the best studio unit I’ve stayed in over a decade of visiting west Maui. The owners are terrific and very responsive, the furnishings are very nice, and the kitchen is well appointed for doing all your cooking. Kahana is such a great location because so much is in walking distance. And the views.... can’t be beat.

Mahalo and Aloha Jennifer! We're so happy you chose our condo for the second time, and we look forward to the third! It was a delight to host you and your husband, and we're glad you enjoyed some of the upgrades since your last visit. We love our condo and our guests, and during our twice a year visits, we work hard to ensure everything is in tip top condition. Wishing you much aloha till you come back again, Crystal and Jim
A wonderful Maui experience for a couple on vacation.
We loved the central location, convenient to Kaanapali and points north as well as Lahaina to the south. LOVED being so close to the water and in a smaller, 3-story, non-commercial structure. The hosts were incredibly accommodating of COVID requirements and resulting changes in travel plans. Highly recommended.

We will definitely stay here again when visiting Maui. Walkable beaches and the one we drove to was only 5 minutes away.
Also the condo upgrades were very nice and the AC worked wonderfully. Everything you need is here! Thanks to the owners being so helpful before and during our stay. Very much appreciated!

Awesome whale watching from the Condo!
This condo was perfect! The only minor issue was that the mattress was too soft for us but that is the only complaint. Loved the condo and the location. We actually got to see a mother whale and her calf breach! Very memorable vacation!

Aloha Erin, we're glad you thought the condo and the location were perfect! How awesome to see the whales...this time of year they put on quite a show. Sorry the mattress was not to your liking, everyone has their preference. It is a medium firm pillow-top mattress, bought 3 years ago. The couple prior to your stay were there for three weeks, and they loved it. But rest assured, during our trip there next month, we will re-evaluate. Our goal is to keep everything in tip top shape. Wishing you much aloha, Crystal and Jim

Awesome Condo
Waking up and falling asleep to the ocean waves as close as it gets was awesome. The condo was fully equipped, AC worked well, and was very clean. There was plenty to do in the area from snorkeling to great food and drinks. I'd highly recommend this room for anyone looking to stay in Maui. The price point was lower than booking with most resorts.

Loved this studio right on the water. Crystal was super responsive and flexible with our arrival time, which was greatly appreciated. We’ve stayed in many studios on the island and the layout and space in this one was excellent- larger than many others, for sure.

This condo is as described here and shown in the photos. The lanai is huge with lot of privacy and we enjoyed our time there. The room is very easily accessible through a flight of stairs and the parking is very close on the first floor.
The apartment is clean with each and every amenity you should think of including all types of cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils.
