About this apartment rental

Beachfront paradise! Enjoy whale watching and beautiful sunsets from your lanai and Sugar Beach in front of Kanai A Nalu (gentle surf). Your 'home away from home' has all of the comforts you need to make your island vacation unforgettable! Centrally located, this condo is perfect for couples or families. It's a great place for people who like to snorkel, dive, fish and sail, or for those who like to keep their feet on land while enjoying a fabulous ocean view! Enjoy watching the boats sail into Maalaea Harbor and visit Maui's #1 tourist attraction, the Maui Ocean Center, as well as shops and restaurants at the end of the street!

Island life is complete with ceiling fans in both bedrooms, the living room and dining room and split air units in each bedroom and the living area! If you need to stay in touch with the outside world, hi speed internet/wifi is available at no additional charge. Maple cabinets, Corian countertops, porcelain tile and wood floors enhance your vacation experience inside.

Being on top in our fourth floor, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo only makes the view better! The condo has easy elevator access and air conditioning on days when the trade winds aren't enough to keep your comfort level perfect. Everything has been made available to you for your stay from kitchen utensils to luxurious oversized beach towels, hair dryer to coffee maker; bring only a need for relaxation and yourselves. The whales come back every year from December to April to put on their incredible show which can be seen while having breakfast on the lanai or directly in front of Kanai A Nalu. If you're up for more adventure, the Maalaea Harbor just down the street, has daily boat tours to Molokini reef for snorkeling and scuba diving, or whale watching and sunset tours. World class golfing can be found all over Maui, some of the closest courses- Sandalwood, Waikapu, Lani and Elleair (Silversword) are within just a few minutes drive.

Centrally located on the island, only 10 minutes from the airport in Kahului and 15-20 minutes away from the tourist areas of Wailea and Lahaina, Kanai A Nalu is world's apart in it's solitude. The condo complex is on a quiet dead end street that ends at a park and 700 acre Kealia Nature Preserve. The other end of the street boasts the Maui Ocean Center (Aquarium), shops and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. The beach stretches for miles to the east, in front of the nature preserve and its gentle surf is great for boogie boarding, snorkeling and beginning surfers. Due to the preserve, there is no development for the first several miles along this picturesque beach so many times, you'll be one of the few on it.

Whether you're looking for adventure or just want to get away from all the hustle and bustle, Maalaea is a great place to start! You can lounge by our heated pool or snorkel with the giant sea turtles. If you'd like to cook your own meals, you can do so in our full size kitchen, or use the gas or charcoal BBQ by the pool-but if you'd rather let someone else do the work, Maui has many wonderful restaurants.

Whatever your interests, make sure you save time for merely enjoying the sound of the surf and watching the waves, from the lanai or down on the beach and your time on Maui will have been well spent!

Waves crashing; can see them from a large lanai. Well appointed, except maybe for spices… we left some salt and pepper. Never had to use the air conditioner…just let the ocean breezes come through. Very comfy for 2 parents and 3 grown up children! View is awesome!

We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Maui. The unit is on the 4th floor at the corner/end of the building. There are elevators and even a luggage cart! So handy!! We had amazing views of the pool and the ocean. There was an air conditioner in the living room, which was great, but despite having ceiling fans, the bedrooms were hot. There was an oscillating fan in the 2nd bedroom and we bought a box fan for the master. It solved the problem! There were chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, and even snorkeling gear available to use! The chairs and umbrella came in so handy! The condo is right near the marina where many excursions leave from. It was nice to be close. We were able to explore all over Maui and we enjoyed being close to everything. The washer and dryer were quite useful, although a laundry basket might have helped sine the “laundry room” is in the kitchen. The refrigerator was big and kept everything cold. The only downside is that there’s no available pantry, so we lost a lot of counter space with our groceries. One of the best features was that there were PLENTY of USB ports for us to plug in our phones and the kids’ games. Overall, the stay was great and I highly recommend this place!!

We enjoyed our week-long stay on Maui in this condo in Kana’i A Nalu. The hosts’ communication was excellent and check-in went super smoothly, with on-site parking and a unique door code for our stay providing good security. The suite has lots of space, was very clean, had a lanai that looked out on the ocean, and an adequate kitchen. The ensuite bathroom with shower was a great unique feature. The hosts provided beach chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards with fins—everything we needed for the beach. Ma’alea is a great place to be on the island in that it is close to everything, but quieter because it’s not in the thick of Kihei tourist town. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Property was clean, centrally located, and quiet. The people were friendly. The property doesn’t have a beach or water access. You can walk down a couple of properties to access a beach, but it had people living on it and was awkward to hangout at. We were hoping to spend evenings at the property, but on a beach. The pool was open and a good option. The view from our room overlooked the pool and the ocean. It was nice. Overall, I would recommend if you prefer to be centrally located more than you want the convenience of beach access.

This property was fantastic! It’s located in the perfect location of Maui, close to everything. The home was fully equipped with everything you would need. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio while looking at the ocean! Very friendly host! We already are looking and when we can return to Maui and will most definitely be booking this location again!

After dark it was hard to match the building we needed to the map we got ahead of time so I wish the buildings were marked in a prominent place. Other than that, it was a great stay. The place was clean with a nice lanai. Kitchen was well appointed. Short, easy walk to park with great beach access. Didn't use the pool but it looked lovely. The entire grounds are well taken care of and there is an elevator for easy transport of luggage and groceries. Plenty of parking. Would stay here again.

Thank you!! We had a great time and the condo was perfect for our family of 5 and in a great location! The patio has a great view of the pool and beach. Our 8 year old slept on the pull out couch and said it was so comfy. Thanks for putting a great mattress in there! The kitchen was stocked so well so we could cook a delicious breakfast and dinner. We were thrilled to find a rice cooker because we use one multiple times a week at home and wanted to make rice with pur meals.. There are PLENTY of bath and beach towels too. Our kids really enjoyed the boogie boards and beach equipment that was provided and the beach nearby was right around the corner. It was also the perfect place to whale watch. We will definitely stay here again on a return trip to Maui.

Our stay was wonderful, 2nd time im this building. We liked this unit more than our last one. The condo is well appointed, with plenty of towels/sheets, kitchen appliances etc. The view is fantastic, and love taking walks on Sugar Beach. This location is perfect to get around the island.
