Steps from the Sand ! Stunning Curated Interior Mahana at Kaanapali. Fully AC!

The Mahana at Kaanapali Unit 317, Lahaina, Maui

During this year's annual visit (June 2023), we repainted the condo with a different color scheme that Quyen used at our other remodels. We also replace the bar stools with back support to make them more comfortable. We also order a custom art piece for the bedroom as well.

Our fully renovated (May 2018), luxurious, coastal contemporary one-bedroom suite with a floor-to-ceiling window and private lanai is located on Kaanapali Beach just north of the famous Puu Kekaa (Black Rock beach). We are on the 3rd floor of the Lanai building (left building) at The Mahana.

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. We are adding a much needed second sink to the completely remodeled bathroom.
** Our guest will be enjoying a starter set of English Spa collection by Gilchrist & Soames: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, mineral bath and Exfoliating Oatmeal Soap
*Brand new furniture from Tommy Bahama in the living room and Dining Room
**McConnell Queen Sleeper with upgraded Air Dream Mattress with Petrified Wood Top side table
** Breakfront Bachelors Chest for our guest to store their clothes if they are sleeping on the sleeper sofa.
** Dorado Beach swivel chair for you to enjoy the spectacular ocean view or a movie/game on our 4K HDTV.
** Two Fusion Leather ottoman
** Fairbank Media console to house our brand new 55" 4K TV, Cable TV with 200+ HD channels, Apple TV 4K, and Blue-ray DVD player ** Custom wood dining table with four Brandon woven side chairs to entertain your family and guests

* Brand new furniture and Beautyrest Platinum King mattress in the bedroom:
** Driftwood Isle Woven platform bed
*** For your protection, we will be using SafeRest mattress protector that is Bed Bug Proof, Dust Mite and Waterproof on our mattress
** Two MC Clellan Drawer Nightstand.
** Somers Isle Hall Chest for your clothes
** Custom closet organizer
** brand new 50" 4K TV, Cable TV with 200+ HD channels and Fire TV Stick
* Beach ready. We provide a beach umbrella, blankets and chairs, boogie boards, and snorkeling equipment for two.

Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the lanai with comfortable Janus et Cie’s outdoor dining set. Ceiling fan with light keeps you comfortable on the hottest day.

Duke's Restaurant and Bar is steps away next door and right on the beach. Java Jazz, five minutes walk away, is a local favorite that serves breakfast and dinner with live music.
** September 2023 **
We visit right after the fire to ensure our future guests would have a great experience

** June 2023 **
After five years, our condo still looks beautiful. A big thank you to our guests and our cleaning crew for taking excellent care of the place.

This time, Quyen wanted to add some pop to the condo; so we repainted the ceiling, walls, and doors with a new set of colors. The picture didn't really bring out the differences with the new colors but it looks great in person.

We also brought over new bar stools with back support that allows our guests to sit more comfortably. This is where our sons sit for hours (after coming back from the beach) playing games on their computers.

** May 2020**
The first picture you see is taken on May 29th, 2020. Two years after our remodel. Our condo still looks as great two years later. A big thank you to our guests for taking great care of our home-away-from-home.

**April 2019**
This is our second trip back after the renovation completed in May 2019. We restocked the kitchen, upgraded the rice cooker, and added the All-Clad waffle maker.

We replaced all the King pillows, upgraded the bedroom TV to 50" 4K, two brand new set of snorkeling gears, new and larger Chilewich rug in the entryway.

We also deep clean the floor and grout.

Fantastic Maui Vacation
Quyen’s place was a perfect location. We were able to enjoy all Maui has to offer. We would have been comfortable just hanging out on the lanai with the beautiful ocean views. The floor to ceiling windows were fantastic. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui

This is our second stay and it is still a wonderful place 5 years later. The location can’t be beat, 5-15min from everything! And those views from the condo lanai are amazing! We saw sea turtles every day we were there. Quyen communicated with us on every aspect of the stay. If we are fortunate enough to visit Maui again, we will for sure stay here again! Mahalo

Lovely Maui Condo
Beautiful location 50 feet from ocean and the unit is nicely decorated. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was the roof construction project during our stay that meant no central AC. The host was great to work with and supplied portable AC units that helped keep things fairly comfortable it was just a bit noisy between the construction work and the AC units running 24/7.

Honeymoon getaway for a week
The property was absolutely gorgeous. The in house amenities was everything a person needed for a getaway from home and everything was in great condition. Quyen was super responsive and very helpful throughout our stay. I would recommend this vacation and this host to everyone. One of the closest condos to a beach the island has to offer. The views, snorkling and fishing right off the condo was exceptional. Smooth clear water gives way to excellent snorkling and the ability to see so many beautiful tropical fish and watching the turtles feeding on the ocean floor just feet below you. If i could rate it a ten I would for sure. Kaanapali was a great location and close to Lahaina which is why we chose to honeymoon on Maui. Don't be afraid to visit after the fires the community needs your support and patronage. It may be a vacation for you but every dollar spent can help the community more than you could imagine. Shop local, skip the major chains and your experience will be great, ours definitely was. Mahalo, Maui.

You really do have everything you need for a relaxing and fun stay. The only real negative was that the AC was out our entire 7 night stay but again, the owners thought of everything and had a portable AC installed which really helped.

Amazing Condo
My husband and I travel the world renting quality condos and homes, always with a great view being a “must have”, and this condo is now one of our favorites. It’s as good as it looks and very well maintained. The hosts have thought of everything - its has quality bedding, pillows, furniture, art, cutlery, kitchen appliances, grill utensils and small appliances and everything you need for the beach. It even has a ceiling fan on the lanai so you can enjoy the warm muggy days in comfort when the wind isn’t blowing. And you can dine or lounge on the lanai and see and hear the waves crashing below as if sitting on the beach but without the sand. Bonus is the common grills at the condo are high end and work great so we found ourselves cancelling restaurant reservations to eat in. Hosts are super responsive and thoughtful though you won’t need them since the condo is spotless, well furnished, and functions as if new. We often find ourselves missing home and its comforts after a week away but did not want to check out of this condo despite traveling for two weeks on this trip. We’ll definitely rent again when we return to the Kaanapali area.

Truly Oceanfront.
This condo is truly oceanfront. Unlike other complexes, there is nothing between your lanai and the ocean. You don’t lookout over the pool, or a few hundred feet of grass and beach chairs - it literally is right in front of you. Leave the door open all night and hear the waves crashing. It’s like nothing else. The pool and hot tub are great, the snorkeling and swimming at the beautiful beach is fantastic. And Dukes is at the beach for drinks and great lunch or dinner. But the attraction here is the direct, I mean DIRECT ocean view. Note: The swimming is just a few steps past the condo building as the beach immediately in front of the building has rocks and coral that make it unsafe to swim right there. But that actually adds to the attraction as there are no crowds right outside your window.
