About this apartment rental

ALOHA and thank you for considering our home for your Maui vacation! Our condo was completely renovated in Dec. 2011 and we hope you like what we've done.

Just 10 feet from the ocean and located on the second floor, you will not be disappointed! Upon entering the condo, you will be drawn immediately to our spacious lanai (balcony). The panoramic views of Moloka'i, Lana'i and the ocean are amazing! The sandy beach in Kahana is directly adjacent to the condo and provides excellent swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing.

Once you're able to pull yourself from the outside view (and the turtles that feed directly below our condo), the interior is also warm and inviting. The calm, modern setting is perfect for curling up on the couch in the cozy, living area. Relax while reading a book, catching up on the latest news or spending a romantic evening watching the sun go down.

When it's time to go to sleep, the comfortable king-size bed is not far away. Open all the windows to allow the sound of the ocean waves and breezes lull you to sleep. When you awaken feeling rested and refreshed, the ocean will be the first thing you see in the morning.

Our fully-equipped, modern kitchen and bathroom with full tub and shower have all the conveniences of home. The thought of staying in a hotel will become a thing of the past.

Pohailani is located in quiet Kahana, nestled between the bustling resorts of Ka'anapali and Kapalua. Within walking distance, you will find fine restaurants and shopping in the Kahana Gateway Center. If you prefer other options, you're only a short drive to Kapalua, Napili, Ka'anapali or Lahaina. Famous beaches, world-class golf courses, Whaler's Village, a farmers' market, grocery stores and other amenities are just minutes away.

We hope you will love our home as much as we do and come back year after year! Mahalo!!

This is our second two week stay in this unit and we could not have been happier. It was great to be back on-island and to help LaHaina and the region recover by supporting local businesses, paying taxes and tipping well. We will certainly be back.

This condo is in a perfect location allowing the sound of the waves on the sea wall, view of turtles visiting the sea wall throughout the day as well as a view of whales playing in the distance! The lanai is a great place to hang out when not at the beach or visiting other areas of Maui. The kitchen in the unit was well stocked with dishes and other cooking utensils. Stop at one of the local markets to pick up what is needed, including salt and pepper, and you will be all set! I gave the location a 4 out of 5 stars for two reasons. First, a couple of the pictures on the listing are not the same as what is in the condo. In one picture, a loveseat/sofa is shown, when the actual furniture piece is a wooden frame with cushions (this made a difference to me due to knee issues and the lower frame was more difficult to stand from). In a second picture, a stand alone inside A/C unit is shown with a different picture above the bed; the actual A/C unit is a window unit that tends to be louder than most stand alone inside units. Therefore I'm not certain the picture is of the correct unit. The second reason for a 4/5 stars is that the unit needs a few updates. The chairs for the high top table on the lanai have holes in the seats where the bolts below the webbing have poked through. Also, the bathroom textiles could use an upgrade as they were super thin and very very rough. Overall, the condo definitely fit my needs, and I enjoyed my stay!

Traveling to Maui for our 42nd anniversary. We want oceanfront & we got it! Big swells warning were issued so there were times we felt the waves hitting the sea wall. Whales & sea turtles did not disappoint! Unit itself could use some freshening up. Walking distance to several food/groceries/beaches. Overall we enjoyed our Maui getaway! Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Joe and Naomi’s oceanfront condo. It was wonderful eating breakfast on the lanai each day while listening to the crashing surf. We were able to see green sea turtles every day and could see whales pretty much anytime we were out on the lanai. Plus the incredible views of both Lana’i and Moloka’i islands. And don’t miss the best cinnamon rolls you will ever eat just down the road at Papi’s Ohana. The condo had everything we could ask for and we would absolutely love to stay here again the next time we visit Maui!

This unit is so close to the ocean that it feels like your on a cruise ship! It was so nice to wake up and see the sea turtles snacking below the lanai each morning. We were also lucky enough to witness 2 humpback whales breaching and showing their huge tails one afternoon. Joe and Naomi are great to deal with and answer questions in a timely manner. The bed is very comfortable too. Great stay! Thank you.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Condo is just as described. Can’t beat the proximity to the ocean. Fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves just below the balcony. Was nice to have the washer and dryer and kitchen appliances for dining in. Close walk to a nearby beach, stores, and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. Nice quiet place to stay!

It was so beautiful and relaxing and everything all the reviews said it would be. The ocean is literally right off of the Lanai. The views at all the different times of the day were exquisite, the sunsets, the sound of the waves putting you to sleep at night all were so calming. We loved watching the sea turtles from the Lanai. And the condo was so comfortable with everything we needed. And, even though the beach is a 5 min walk we found when looking for other more famous beaches that the one closest to the condo was the quietest and had the calmest waves. Thank you for this lovely place for our time to get away. We needed it!

What a great location and THE VIEW!!! I will never forget the beautiful view from this place. Close to all the major places in Lahaina area and you get your own parking space which is a hard to find in Hawaii. Great place for a couple to relax and enjoy seeing turtles everyday from your own lanai (balcony). Highly recommended to everyone!

The condo was perfect for my husband and i for our honeymoon. You can not ask for a better location. Its right on the ocean with perfect sunset views. Lots of sea turtles and beaches in both directions. More cozy and private then the big resorts on either side as well.

Great view of of the sun setting over Molokai and Lanai from second story balcony. Convenient location. Parking space right at the bottom of the steps. Convenient access to the highway. Just north of Lahaina. Close to great snorkeling in Honolua Bay. Not very big, but a great home base for your daily excursions on Maui.

The view in this studio is to die for! You open the door and the first thing you see is the ocean. Literally right on top of the water! We watched turtles non-stop from the lanai. Everything you need is in this perfect little condo and the hosts are wonderful! It was truly a perfect stay.

Joe and Naomi’s place has really nice oceanfront views. We enjoyed watching the sunset every evening from the lanai. We watched whales one morning, and that was an enjoyable experience. We appreciated the King size bed, four large ceiling fans, a large size fridge, and the beach chairs and coolers we could take to different beaches for snorkeling. We would definitely consider staying there as long as the price stays reasonable in the future.

Having been to multiple Hawaiian islands multiple times, my wife and I have stayed in a variety of accommodations from ultra luxury resorts to budget hotels. This is by far one of the best locations and accommodations we have ever enjoyed on the islands. The “on-the-ocean” view from the private lanai is remarkable. Countless whale sightings and sea turtles nibbling along the rocks was readily available anytime you walked out of the condo. A full sized well stocked kitchen provided convenient meal prep and dining space. The king size bed was incredibly comfortable and listening to the waves crashing through the night was hypnotically serene. The bathroom size, counter space and storage was ample for two. And the jacuzzi tub/shower was a plus. The final component that made our stay carefree and convenient was the reserved parking right next to the condo. The geographical location is also a BIG advantage. You are a 5-10 minute drive to Lahaina Town and 5-10 minutes away from top snorkeling spots on Maui. Be sure to check out Slaughterhouse Beach, just 7 minutes north for a beautiful beach framed by volcanic cliffs and magnificent snorkeling.

The lanai is amazing for whale- and turtle-watching. The space is perfect for two people, and the location is minutes away from some of our favorite beaches on Maui. The second-story corner unit is great for quiet mornings and evenings, and included everything we needed: Beach chairs, umbrella, cooler. Would highly recommend!

This cute space salvaged what was otherwise a rough trip. It had a beautiful view at all times of day and night - we enjoyed watching the whales play in the horizon every morning. Several beaches close by were nice for relaxing during downtime.

The view from the linai was wonderfully with Lina’i to the left and Molakai to the right. My only complaint was the very noisy neighbor directly below us. People can hear him at Honolulu. Other than that, the condo was exactly what we wanted.

I couldn't of been happier with this location. Not only were we able to see sea turtles eating off the rocks every morning but we were just steps away from the shore. The unit had everything we could ever need and was local to stores/restaurants. Very safe and quiet but still close enough to night life. When I go back to Maui, I will be staying at this unit. It will not be my home away from home. Super pleased with the whole island experience!!

This is an absolutely fantastic spot. We were blown away by the view and how it is quite literally right on the ocean. This place has everything you need and is about 5 steps from the beach. Very clean and easy to check in/out. Thank you to Joe & Naomi for making things so seamless!

Photos of this property do not do it justice. As soon as you walk through the front door, and look through to the balcony, all you see beyond that is the ocean - and a few turtles popping their heads up to say hello! Location is perfect. The property has everything you need to be completely self sufficient - all the way down the beach chairs and umbrellas to make your days at the beach even better. If I was to return to Maui, I would definitely stay here again!
