About this apartment rental
WILDFIRE UPDATE: Our condo is located in south Maui, in the village of Maalaea. West Maui is currently closed off due to recent wildfires, but other parts of the island are still open. Our property and the surrounding area are safe. Local officials including Maui's mayor and police chief have reiterated that Maui is not closed - only west Maui. They also emphasized how the majority of Maui's residents rely on tourism dollars, and they simply asked that visitors are respectful and don't attempt to visit the affected areas.
Crew Rest Maui is a hidden gem at the north end of Ma'alaea Bay in South Maui. Our privately owned two bedroom, two bathroom beachfront 'home away from home' is a corner unit on the second floor of a four-story building directly at the water's edge. Our private lanai is directly oceanfront and looks across to neighboring Islands, the world-famous Molokini crater, and 10,000 foot Haleakala. It provides the perfect place to relax, watch the waves, and even see humpback whales during whale season.
There are HUGE benefits to a corner unit on the second floor, and it's important to understand why the location of the unit in the complex makes such a huge difference.
Corner units offer: the added security of not being at ground level, the privacy of having bedroom windows looking out on the beautiful courtyard, pool and ocean instead of sidewalk and parking lot and the absence of foot traffic past your private lanai. (Before booking in Kanai a Nalu, understand that the guest bedrooms of non-corner units look out onto the parking lot. Our guest bedroom has a FULL view of the ocean and pool area.)
The master bedroom has a comfortable California King-size bed with a private bathroom and wall-to-wall windows with panoramic views of the beach, gardens, and pool/BBQ area. A second full bathroom with shower/tub combo is across a small alcove from the second bedroom, which has a queen bed. (Our condo sleeps a maximum of 4 adults, or 5 guests total for families with children.)
We have gone above and beyond to provide you the little touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible and make Crew Rest Maui feel like your home away from home. You'll enjoy updated decor, ceiling fans throughout, and A/C in every single room. There are plenty of plush beach towels, some dish/laundry soap to get you started, beach toys and boogie boards, liquid hand soap in the bathrooms, velvet non-slip hangers, Keurig coffee maker, keyless entry keypad, secure WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you'll need. The living room features a smart, flat screen, wall-mounted TV with cable. Both bedrooms feature wall-mounted smart TVs with cable access as well as the ability to login to your favorite streaming service.
The private lanai is one of the best features of our unit. Again, it is DIRECTLY on the water, and not all units in the complex have such an amazing location and views. The lanai is a perfect place for reading, eating, whale watching or just plain relaxing to the sound of the gentle surf. You'll enjoy watching sea turtles (and whales during whale season) directly offshore from the lanai.
Just down the street from the condo, you'll find the core of Maalaea and the harbor area. This adorable seaside village offers a wide variety of activities such as snorkeling excursions and sunset cruises, shopping, delicious dining options, mini golf, an aquarium, and the Pacific Whale Foundation.
The central location of Crew Rest Maui is ideal for exploring all of Maui. You're just 15 minutes from the airport, 25 minutes from the North Shore, 10 minutes from Kihei, 20 minutes from Lahaina, and 5 miles or less from several golf course options.
Our favorite aspect of the Kanai a Nalu complex is the quiet, laid back feel. If you like the hustle and bustle of crowded resorts where you sleep in a cramped hotel room and share a beach and pool with hundreds of people while enjoying a $15 cocktail, this is not the place for you. Crew Rest Maui offers the ultimate in beachfront relaxation. Our spacious condo, uncrowded beach and pool, and quiet, low-key ambience provide the most relaxing vacation experience available on Maui.

We had a fabulous stay here. The ocean is right off the lanai. We ate every breakfast here and several dinners. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals. The location is great. We enjoyed being in a quiet area away from the crowded resorts. The central location makes it easy to get to all areas of the island. The unit had a/c but the trade winds blow reliably and kept the unit pleasant with the windows open to hear the ocean. We had an issue with a ceiling fan that was fixed promptly. The beds were very comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t imagine a better place to stay here.

Day 1 through day 12 was nothing less than perfect! Listening to the waves crash right outside our window was wonderful. The condo was the perfect size for 4 adults. We walked to Haycraft Beach almost everyday with ease. This was actually one of our favorite beaches we visited. We were centrally located and never felt we were to far from anything we wanted to do! We will definitely The corner unit was a plus. Unfortunately, 2 days before we left, they cut down 3 palm trees in front of the condo but it’s still a beautiful view!

Great location. Condo is perfect and the views were amazing.

Beautiful spot looking out over the ocean. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sea turtles were right out front playing in the waves everyday. The location was quite central for the driving tours we did on the island. We were able to get a good sleep everynight as the beds were comfortable and the ceiling fan or a/c kept the room at a good temperature. Great place !
10.0 / 10.0
The location was perfect. Its some of the best weather you usually avoid rain. Watched Whales, and Turtles from the Lanai. Haycraft Park is a gem on the end of a long beach. Snorkeled with Turtles and saw many fish.

Condo was right on the water between the marina and the beaches at Kihei. Great view and nice breeze. The condo had air conditioning but we didn’t need it. If we return to Maui in the future we will definitely try to stay in this condo again. Oh I forgot to mention whale activity can be spotted anytime in daylight hours. Great experience.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect location for the close beach access, sunrise off balcony over the ocean with mountain view. We were also fortunate to see whales and turtles swimming near by. Less busy area, but 4 miles from Kihea. Would come here again.

Perfect place. Quiet neighborhood. Beach within walking distance. Fully equipped with everything you need for the beach. Loved the fact that beach chairs and boogie boards were there. Rooms were super. Right on the ocean. Kids loved the pool. Washer and dryer right in the condo was great to have. Also, private parking was also a plus.

Crew Rest Maui was a great location. The 2 bedroom/2 bath unit worked well for our family. The lanai was enjoyed morning, noon, and night. Listening to the waves of the Pacific crashing on shore, and seeing whales surfacing was a treat. We had a good time.

I loved this condo! I could hear the waves crashing all night from the master bedroom. Iys a great central location for those who want to visit all of the island by car. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if u like to walk everywhere bc there’s not a whole lot walking distance but I loved the location & the condo. Stephanie was easy to get a hold of when I had a question. We truly loved staying here & plan to again!

Wh enjoyed our stay and would return to this init specifically. The condo was well furnished with extra amenities like enough coffee pods to get started, condiments in the fridge and spices in the cupboard. The owner was at the unit just before us and bought a bottle of organic EVOO!

Thank you for being wonderfully hospitable hosts with prompt communication, fully stocked beach gear, and offering many local recommendations to make our stay in Maui so delightful. They even left a thoughtful welcome gift! The location of the accommodation is in close proximity to the beach and in a quiet, less-commercialized area. Crew Rest was a haven in the midst of the wildfires. Our prayers and hearts go out to the amazing people here pressing on and rebuilding from the devastation. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future when we return to Maui!

Crew Rest Maui was amazing! The property is located in a secluded bay that is quiet and peaceful. The ocean is right at your back door. You can see the turtles swimming right from the lanai. We walked the beach every morning. We will definitely be back!

Rented this condo and 2 others for a family vacation. It was the perfect spot. We all had so much fun. It was clean and comfortable and pretty much just as described. The owners were super about answering any questions we had. Would recommend this property for sure. Many great memories were made! Thank you for the use of your home.
10.0 / 10.0
The condo was immaculate, and decorated very warm and beautiful. Everything you could think of wanting was supplied and then some :) Communication with the owner was great, Stephanie was very prompt and helpful. The only disappointment was that it is not actually on a beach. There is a small sandy/rocky beach area behind a nearby condo, but we did not access it. I was disappointed because I had researched many places and my #1 thing was to have easy/close access to the beach. But the ocean views made it worth it!
10.0 / 10.0
Crew Rest was so comfortable with beautiful views of Haleakalā and Molokini! The location is perfect, near all attractions. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles every day and even spotted a few whales even though it is a month after whale season. There is a park with a beach within a two minute walk and the Maalaea Aquarium and harbor are within a five minute walk. We spent so much time enjoying meals on the patio, we watched an amazing storm from there. The condo is well stocked, with all small appliances, dishes, glasses, silverware, cutlery, pots & pans, bakeware, food storage, paper towels; blow dryers, toiletries, bedding, towels, etc. It felt like home, but better since it’s Hawaii! There was even a nice little welcome basket. The grounds are well maintained and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend!

central location on the island. Quiet, clean condo complex with great views. The air conditioning was a plus for sleeping. I was by myself for a couple of nights before my husband arrived and I felt very safe. Easy 2 min. walk to Haycraft park/beach front. Nice pool and grill area. Great spots on the lawn to sit and enjoy the views. Really nice balcony to sit out on for meals and whale watching (during whale season)

Crew Rest was “perfect” accommodations for our time on Maui. Ocean views, beach access, and falling asleep to the ocean waves - amazing. Cozy condo with everything we needed. Absolutely loved our stay. Thank you :)
10.0 / 10.0
We found the Crews Rest to be exactly as advertised, comfortable, well maintained, kitchen well equipped, and a beautiful location. The owners were quick to respond to any question and even added an air fryer because we asked if there was one. The location was perfect with beautiful views of Maalea Harbor, Molokini crater and Haleakala. It was also convenient to Kihei and a quick jaunt to most everywhere else we wanted to go. We loved the fact that the condo was in a quiet area, near the end of a dead end street.
There was actually very little we would change. It was a little disappointing that there was no direct beach access even though we were probably no more than 30 feet from the ocean but that was not a deal breaker for us. I spent every morning on the lanai with my coffee enjoying the peace and quiet waiting the next spectacular sunrise. Also, not a complaint just a statement for awareness. The kitchen is tiny so you have to get creative if you want to have two people working in the kitchen together.🤣
Thanks to Stephanie and Mike for providing a great retreat for our 50th wedding anniversary and the lovely welcome treats!

Nice condo. Pool is small but met the needs for a 7 and 5 yr old. Not much shopping in the area.
Need to drive to Kihei, about 15 min away.

We took our grown kids to Maui and the Crews Rest was perfect for us. We had everything we could ever need. The view of the ocean was amazing. We loved walking on the beach from the condo and how it was centrally located on the island. The owners made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in the door!

Great Vacation!
We all had a great time at Crew Rest Maui! The location was perfect and conveniently located near every spot we explored. The condo was well equipped with plenty of beach towels and beach essentials. The lanai was perfect - the view was absolutely gorgeous and we enjoyed watching sunrise and sunset. Thank you for making us feel at home in YOUR home! The beds were comfortable and so was the pull out couch. If we're ever back in Maui, we will definitely stay again.

Great location!
If you like things low key this is an excellent place. It doesn’t have the hustle and bustle outside your door. The condo is well stocked with all sorts of snorkeling and beach gear. Your only yards from a great beach and a heated pool really no need to go anywhere else! But if you want to go exploring it’s close to all the attractions Maui has to offer.

Great view
This condo had a lovely lanai with waterfrontage. It was well stocked with towels, coolers, beach chairs, toys and kitchen ware. Everything you could possibly need for your vacation. The A/C was a plus and the pool close by. It is only 15 minutes from the airport and close to excellent windsurfing.

Magical!
We really can't say enough about our week at Crew Rest Maui. The Jeffers were wonderful to work with, they've provided everything and then some. The condo is in a fantastic location for getting around the island, but also a great place to just hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather. Watching the sun come up from the lanai was my favorite and I lingered there frequently with my book in hand. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone and we absolutely be back someday. Not soon enough, though! Thank you so much and Mahalo!

Our new happy place!
We had never been to Maui before, so we based our choice on the reviews for this property. We were NOT disappointed! It was down a quiet dead-end street that ended with a wonderful little beach access park. All the relaxation you want with full ocean views (we actually watched turtles from the balcony every day!), cool trade wind breezes that made it possible to not even turn on the AC the entire trip! It is a central location with easy access to all of the places you want to see on the island. Plenty of cool little places to eat, explore & enjoy only minutes away! We throughly enjoyed every minute of this vacation & we know we wouldn’t have had as good of a time if we hadn’t stayed here…away from the hustle & bustle of the crowds after a busy day exploring Maui! We will definitely book this property again in the future!!

Just wow!
Let me start of by saying if you’re deciding to go to this property, take this as a sign to GO! You will not be disappointed! We stayed a week here and after arriving quickly wished we planned for longer. This property was clean and homie fully equipped with all you will need to enjoy your stay. A kitchen filled with cookware and utensils to use on the property ( we took advantage of the grill poolside). Each room had boogie boards to use at the beach which might I add was absolutely amazing and right outside your door! Also this location is close enough to all the activities Maui has to offer. Thank you for a wonderful first time to the island we can’t wait to come back soon!!!

This was a great place to stay if you want to stay away from all the crowded places, yet you are close enough to go to all the places easily. Very clean. Has everything you would need for your stay. Amazing views and great snorkeling just outside the condo. Hosts are super nice and really quick at getting back to you. Would recommend this place for anyone to stay.

Great stay once again. Love this condo location and the room is oceanfront! Everything that you will need is at the condo just pack your beach clothes and everything else is available in the room. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of beach chairs and toys too! Great location in between Lahaina and Kihei. We had great communication with the owners and we will definitely book again,

Absolutely wonderful!!!!
Our family LOVED our stay at Crew Rest Maui!!! The central location of this condo is perfect, quiet and equipped with everything one would need to have an incredible time. We Loved watching the turtles right from the launi (which is immediately right insight upon opening the door)!!!! The beach is perfect for long walks, snorkeling, great shelling and practically empty!!! Listening to the waves crash at night was so soothing & the Hawaiian breezes made for such a comfortable stay, we never turned the air on despite the mid 80 degree temps. Definitely recommend a car to explore all Maui has to offer, but the condo has stores/restaurants within walking distance. A great place - we hated to leave but can’t wait to return during whale migration. Thanks for sharing your amazing condo with us!!!!
