About this property

Maui- Truly OceanFront at Kanai a Nalu

Approximately 1100 square feet of generously furnished up-scale living above a beach with breath-taking unobstructed views across blue Maalaea Bay to other islands and Maui's south shore below the Haleakala volcano. Watch whales and relax on the lanai after stimulating beach walks and swimming in the warm ocean below, or the solar-heated pool.

Perfectly accommodates 4 adults with private baths adjoining each bedroom, and all other amenities for graceful living on the top (4th) floor away from the seashore, yet on it. Kanai A Nalu is secluded on a road that ends at a small nearby park, and begins within walking distance at Maalaea's Boat Harbor and the nation's largest ocean reef aquarium with its shops, restaurants and tourist attractions, including some fast food for those still in a hurry.





Keywords: Spacious two bedroom two bath condominium.Eclectic tropical furnishing throughout and a well stocked full kitchen with washer/dryer.Stunning ocean views.Oceanfront lanai with furniture. Perfect for two couples who seek privacy.

Super comfortable with amazing view
Loved this place, the view is unbeatable. The beds and sheets were extremely comfortable. I loved opening the windows and sleeping to the ocean. The fans helped keep it cool. I’d just say for future guests make sure to bring travel body wash, shampoo and laundry detergent. We had to buy some and it’s not cheap!

Great location and amazing view
We have stayed at different units many times in the past 20 years. The location never disappoints. We loved the opportunity to stay ocean front and on the top floor which was the best ever. This unit was clean and well equipped. Since this location always has a breeze, not having air conditioning was never an issue. We would totally stay in this unit again without hesitation.

Great on the water location
We had a beautiful view and able to watch whales every day from our lanai. Kitchen was well stocked. No air conditioning but sufficient cross breeze and plenty of fans if needed. Being right on the ocean you could listen to the waves rolling in. One observation however is that at night the waves seemed to get louder as they slapped upon the break wall. There were some things in the condo that had been undated but there were still some areas that could benefit from additional updates. Over all we had an enjoyable stay and it was a pleasure dealing with Marlene.

Whales everywhere
We renjoyed our stay. The location was convenient to many activities. But the best selling point was the view!! Straight on full ocean front. We saw many, many whales during our ten days. Nearby sugar beach invites long, leisurely morning walks.the kitchen is well equipped and plenty of books and puzzles for after the sun goes down. We particularly appreciative of the traditional hawaiian decor. Would definitely book again. Host was very responsove to our questions.

Great location Needs updating
The location of and views from this property are amazing!! The complex is ok and the grounds are well kept. The condo itself is a bit outdated and could use an overhaul and DEEP cleaning. We noticed quite of bit of dust build-up on the brick walls, the living room furniture is a bit old and uncomfortable. A new washing machine needs to be added as the current one is rusted along the rim and if not careful will cut you. There is no a/c, which is usuallly not an issue on Maui, but it was unusually hot during our stay. There are several fans throughout and we also went to Costco and purchased an additional fan. We noticed many of the other units in the complex have added A/C, recommend the owners do this as well. We did have an issue with the microwave not working, which was resolved (by replacement) VERY quickly. Again, the location and views were PERFECT, working with Marlene was also great! I would return if updates are done and DEEP cleaning is done regularly!

Dated condo but an awesome 10 days!
Our party of 4 really enjoyed our time in this condo…it was dated but it did not detract from our time in it. The location and waterfront view was stunning and we enjoyed each morning catching sight of the numerous turtles that were out front. The beds were very comfortable and the size of the condo suited us very well. Constructive suggestions would be that the Kitchen cabinets need a little TLC and maybe update the VRBO condo pictures. All in all, we had a great time in this condo!

Great Condo in a Great Location
Marlene is a fantastic host. Prompt communications and very responsive to any questions I had. The condo was clean and met all of our needs. Plenty of beach towels, all the kitchen gadgets you might need, comfortable beds and the perfect location for this area. Plenty of fans in the unit which, along with open windows and the Maui trade winds, allowed for a very comfortable stay without the need for air conditioning. The condo grounds and facilities are regularly maintained and consistently look amazing. Last but not least, all the incredible views that this condo affords. Unobstructed true oceanfront location. Great views of Kihei, Haleakala, surfers, marine traffic, large numbers of turtles and awesome sunrises every morning.

A visit for my brother
Condo was great, met all our needs. Nice balcony for watching turtles with morning coffee and evening cocktail. We visited right after the fires and a couple of our group did not make it, so there were just two of us but condo is plenty big for a group of four. We were there on family concerns so the location was ideal for us. We very much enjoyed the beach just a short walk from condo, very quiet and relaxing. We needed some quite time and the area the condo is in was perfect for that. Hope to return again.

Maui getaway
It was a nice touch having the owner call prior to our arrival. Easy to find and no problems with check in. Our girls called the decor vintage while my husband called it nostalgic! It was a little warm but we are in Hawaii so how can one complain! We enjoyed our morning coffee gazing at the ocean and watching the turtles from the lanai. The public beach close by turned out to be one we favored. We all loved our stay!

Amazing location
We had a wonderful 7 day in Maui, and this property helped make it even better. The location is perfect, centrally located on the island in Maalaea. Watching turtles swimming right below us, while sitting on the lanai, was amazing. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked with all the necessities.

Spectacular View
We absolutely loved our stay at this beach front condo. The view from the lani was spectacular it is a great spot to have morning coffee and watch the whales jump up in the distance and the turtles float by. A nice beach is just a short walk down the road. it was the perfect place for us to stay for our three week stay on Maui.This place is very confortable an you feel right at home. There is no AC but lots of fans and if you open the doors the wind will keep it comfortable during the day. Marlene(the owner) is a wonderfull lady to talk to and helpfull. We miss it already and would very much like to come back for another stay.

Maalea oceanfront condo
The condo was spacious and had a most amazing view. The kitchen was well equipped. There were even unopened food items left by other vacationers and things like salt, saran wrap, etc. We were comfortable here. Clean EXCEPT the raised surface walls were extremely dusty (brown instead of white in many places). The master bedroom window and screen was caked with dirt as well as all the fans. The carpet had some nasty stains in it in the living room area. The master ensuite shower really needs attention too.. It is evident that no upgrades have been made in many years. I recommend that deep cleaning be done here to the aforementioned. The location and view were amazing. The grounds and pool were nice.
