About this property

Best View on Maui! Beachfront 2BR Corner~Winter specials!

Enjoy spectacular, sweeping, front-on views of the Pacific from the living room, bedroom and lanai of this spacious 1483 sq. ft. 8th floor two-bedroom, two-bath corner unit at the Mahana on Ka'anapali Beach - rated as one of the best beaches in the world. With private spaces throughout, this condo ensures your family can relax and unwind without stepping on each other’s toes, including lanai access from both the primary bedroom and living room.

Relax on the lanai or the circular sofa overlooking the crystal blue waters of the ocean.

Watch the sun set over the islands of Lanai and Molokai in the distance. And, since Number 819 is a corner unit, enjoy the extra side view down the white sandy beach towards Black Rock from the floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows.

Only 20 yards from the beach! It is the ideal spot to see humpback whales, monk seals, or dolphins! You might even spot a sea turtle!

In the morning, swim in the Mahana's private oceanside pool, snorkel the coral reef out front or stroll along the uncrowded sandy beach below.

In the evening, enjoy a few minutes in the spa under the stars and fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore.

This serene, elegantly furnished corner unit in the Lanai Tower of the Mahana has a king-sized bed with a wonderful Tempur-Pedic mattress in the master bedroom that opens onto your private lanai.

The second bedroom looks out on West Maui mountains featuring a very comfortable queen-sized teak bed with box springs, looks out on the majestic West Maui mountains.

Separate A/C controls in the master bedroom and guest bedroom allow you to adjust the temperature for ultimate comfort.

The ultra modern new kitchen has top of the line Miele appliances including refrigerator, range, convection oven, microwave and dishwasher. It is fully equipped with everything you need and more, even a spice rack, to prepare a perfect sunset meal to enjoy at the beautiful marble dining table or on your lanai.

Smart TVs, broadband high speed satellite internet and wireless access, CD stereo with iPOD docking, and DVD players add to your entertainment.

The living room and master bedroom both open onto your own private lanai/balcony with a table and 4 chairs overlooking the Pacific.

The 2nd bedroom has wonderful panoramic views of the majestic West Maui mountains.

Two separate spacioua vanity areas offer privacy for guests.

Luxury linens, an iron and ironing board, hair dryer, beach towels and a washer/dryer are all provided for your convenience. You will also enjoy our beautiful travertine tiled walk-in showers with their unique mosaic insets.

This condo at the Mahana, rated one of the top hotels in Hawaii by Travel and Leisure, sits on a quiet stretch of one of the world’s most spectacular beaches!

Whaler’s Village, fine and casual dining, shopping, art galleries, five world-class championship golf courses, tennis, scuba diving and snorkeling are all just steps or minutes away.

It's the perfect spot to bring your parents or your adult children for a family celebration or reunion, to celebrate a graduation, house your wedding guests, or just to get away yourselves for a romantic holiday in paradise! Consider booking this unit for just the two of you to take advantage of the corner views. And if you need more space, ask about our 8th floor one-bedroom condo right next door!

BEST VRBO EVER
We've been renting units on VRBO and other sites for over 15 years. This is far and away the best rental we've ever had anywhere. The views were breathtaking, truly the best on the beach. The unit and building were clean and well kept, the beds, recliners and couch were very comfortable and the artwork was exquisite. To top it off, we saw many whales playing in the surf everyday of our stay.

We have stayed at the Mahana 9 times and we love it The view from this unit is spectacular Unfortunately the air conditioning did not work for the majority of our stay We know that the whole tower was out but nights were very hot a couple of fans would have helped The dishwasher was not working and repair man couldn’t fix it The toilet in master bedroom was leaking The owner responded to our concerns but unfortunately. nothing was done We love the Mahana and this unit has the best view of any we have stayed at but the issues we had did affect our stay .

Spacious condo with the best ocean view! Whale watchers dream!
This condo is much more spacious than it appears in photos! Once you turn the corner in the hallway and see that view, you will be speechless! We spent many hours just looking out the windows into the ocean or on the lanai. We saw so many whales, turtles, rainbows, surfers (even a kite surfer) and gorgeous sunsets all right outside the window…it was a dream! The property is lovely, with a nice heated pool, spacious hot tub and shuffleboard. The location is excellent and not nearly as busy as Whaler’s Village area (which was a huge plus for us). We loved being able to walk to Duke’s, the awesome Honokōwai Food Truck Park, Pizza Paradiso, and Times Supermarket (great prices!)…and you're only a quick drive to Whaler’s Village, Napili and Kapalua. Kathy provides everything you may need in the condo…beach toys, towels, endless kitchen utensils. Thank you, Kathy, for your hospitality! I will be dreaming of that view for a long time…we loved our stay and would recommend in a heartbeat!

Million dollar view
The view from this condo is spectacular! You will have a tough time beating the amazing view here. We saw sea turtles everyday from the balcony and at the beach. The sound of the waves from the balcony was so peaceful and made for a perfect place to enjoy our morning coffee. For the interior, the mattresses were very comfortable, the kitchen is very modern with great appliances and the kitchen was very clean. Outside of that though, there were a few minor cleanliness issues such as dusty vents and fingerprints on the glass windows. We ended up cleaning some of the glass windows ourselves to better enjoy the view. The guest toilet was leaking during the beginning of our stay which ended up stopping on its own. The toilet doesn’t fill properly and seems to have some type of issue that prevented the bowl from filling with water. There was a miscommunication with the host about maintenance coming in to look at the toilet. We wanted to be there when they came but it wasn’t coordinated properly and they came when we were gone. The host was very responsive when I reached out about the issue with the toilet. The host did communicate that the guest sink had issues with the faucet being very loose and that a replacement part was on order. We avoided using that sink as a result. You can tell the property is a little worn and dated in some ways, but even with a few minor issues the view and location make this place fantastic.

Fabulous Stay
My husband, my 12 y/o granddaughter & I just concluded our 10 day stay in Kathy & David’s Mahana condo. Our plane landed at night so we didn’t have much to see on our drive to Kaanapali. We easily checked-in, got settled in the condo & went to bed, exhausted. When we woke up the next morning we were greeted with the most stunning view from the floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the beach. The view took our collective breaths away. Wow, just wow! The condo is well-equipped with everything you would need if you find yourself inclined to cook (I didn’t LOL). Staples such as spices, cooking oils, etc are ample. Plenty of dishes, glasses, pots & pans, etc. You have a choice of drip coffee machine, a single cup Keurig, or a French Press. The bedrooms were comfortable with ample closet & drawer space. Sitting each morning with a cup of coffee in the comfortable recliner chairs overlooking the ocean was the perfect way to begin the day. It was also the perfect way to watch the sun set each evening. Although it was the end of whale season, we spotted whales in the distance on a number of occasions. We also saw many sea turtles from the condo & watched them battle the waves to get out to sea. My granddaughter was thrilled with all these sightings. The closet filled with beach gear made beach days very easy & enjoyable. Kathy & David provided toiletries to get us started, which got us through the first few days. The appliances are all high-end Miele & were easy to use & worked well. Kathy & David’s condo guide was very helpful with suggestions for activities, restaurants & shopping.

A few minor issues but overall a wonderful stay!
The good: - Great location, easy walk to the beach, restaurants, a grocery store, food trucks, bars and other resorts. - The view is a 10. You will not find a better view at any price in this area. Simply amazing. - The unit is in good condition and well cared for. - Free parking. - The onsite staff are friendly and very helpful. The not so good (but not bad): - We did have a few issues during our stay (AC needed to be fixed, dishwasher stopped working, we lost water pressure and hot water several times) but the hosts were helpful/responsive and the building maintenance was excellent. - One thing that would have been nice to know before hand was that there was construction going on at the building. This wasn't a major deal as they typically started after 8am but it was pretty noisy throughout the day. - There are A LOT of house rules. I would avoid staying in this unit if you have kids or irresponsible adults in your group. Even with a few minor issues, we had a wonderful stay and I would go back without hesitation.

This property was amazing!!! The views are STUNNING from every room! The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed and more. The king bed is the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. The location was perfect- we walked a lot of places and a quick drive from other great places to go. The condos were quiet even with some construction and the beach was never crowded which was amazing with a large resort right next door. We wish we could have stayed longer than a week and will definitely be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image
We both grew up by the sea, David in Ireland, Kathy in San Francisco and we always knew that however far away we moved from it, we would always come back. After we met in college, we traveled much of the world together, but it was Maui and the stretch of beach in front of the Mahana that captured our hearts. We first bought the condo next door to this one in 1977. Over the years, we returned to Maui and the Mahana for a month every summer.

For our children, it was a second home. Now young adults, they still love coming back every chance they can. Once you have been to the Mahana, you’ll want to come back too!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Mahana in 1977. We were walking along the beach. The sun was setting between the islands of Lanai and Molokai. It was the most amazing sight! We turned around and saw Mahana. We knew right then and there it was our place. For us it was the view and the view and the view! We bought our first Mahana condo (#818) then. We bought our 2nd Mahana condo (#708) in 2001 and this one (#819) from long-term residents in 2004.

What makes this property unique

For us it’s a home away from home. In winter we love watching the whales, in summer it’s the dolphins and turtles. I love watching the dawn come up over the ocean. My husband is mesmerized by the stars. We all enjoy walking or jogging on the beach, swimming and snorkeling in the crystal clear blue water, exploring all the other nearby beaches, Kapalua Bay, Napili Bay, Fleming Beach, Honolua Bay. We also love going to the Farmers market for fresh papaya and mangos and finding local fish to grill back at the Mahana. It’s the majesty of the ocean and the mountains. It’s the trade winds and the friendly people. It’s something else, totally special that is just impossible to describe. You have to come to Maui and the Mahana and you will experience it yourself!
