About this apartment rental

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.

**McConnell Queen Sleeper with upgraded Air Dream Mattress with Petrified Wood Top side table

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.

We loved the condo. It was so well appointed and clean. The beach view was wonderful. We had one little hiccup with the air conditioning but our host had it taken care of quickly. Very responsive!

We were fortunate to be able to stay in this unit over July 4th week and it was amazing. This is our 2nd time to stay in this condo and now we will always try and book this unit going forward. It is in pristine condition and has everything anyone would need to enjoy and great vacation in Maui! We will be back 😊🙌

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

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.

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.

We loved listening to the sounds of the surf at night. The sunsets were awesome in this unit. I had a few communications with the manager that were responded to immediately. This location was awesome. The walkability is exceptional and rare. We will try to return.
