About this property

Vacation in Paradise - Maui Hawaii, Ocean Front Condo

Welcome to our beautiful beach front condo at Kanai A Nalu, on the quiet side of Maui. Our ocean front unit, located on the second floor, overlooks the grounds lush, tropical garden as well as the crystal blue waters of Maalaea Bay.

During the winter months, you can whale watch from our Lanai. This is when the humpback whales bring their young to the protected waters of Maalaea Bay. It's a sight you will never forget and look forward to seeing for years to come. Another wonderful sight from our lanai are the Catamarans boats sailing by in the early evenings, just as the glow of the Maui sunset with its beautiful orange and purple hues cover the sky. As you sit on our Lanai, sipping a cool drink and nibbling on PuPu's (Hawaiian word for hors d'oeuvres) and basking in the after glow of it all. That my friend is when you'll know you're definitely vacationing in Paradise!!
!
We're located on our own private beach with miles of White Sand that run in either direction. Snorkeling is wonderful at our beach too. With yellow and brilliant blue fish swimming along side you in the coral and rockier area of the water to the right once you've stepped onto the sand. As you leave the sandy beach our guests have access to the outdoor shower. Our cobalt blue tiled swimming pool is complete with a waterfall and is located next to our new double commercial grade gas BBQ's with wrap around counters. Completed October of 2017. We've had rave reviews about it! We also have a dinning area for those who prefer to enjoy their meals outside. It's a fun way to meet your fellow renters as you enjoy the sunset.

Great peaceful location

If you’re looking for a quiet slice of paradise, this is it. Conveniently located, but isolated from the hustle and bustle of the congested tourist areas. A short walk to the beach, a lovely pool and grilling area. The grounds and building are well maintained.

Nice spot on the beach!

Great location with beach access. Place was clean and check-in/out was easy. The condo is very central to most parts of Maui. I'd stay here again, if the opportunity was there. A few things to consider if you are sensitive to noise: The Ma'alaea area can get pretty windy. You will hear planes occasionally flying into Kahului.

Wonderful 2 week stay

We visited Maui during the horrible wildfires that caused much destruction and loss of life in the beautiful island of Maui. God bless all those who were affected. Fortunately for us , we were safe and sound at this condo. Grounds were clean, quiet and well maintained. Beach is clean and walkable. Clear calm water most days. Great pool that was never over crowded. Location is perfect. 15-20 minute drive to airport, Costco, Walmart, Safeway and Target. Close drive to the town of Kiheh where you can find more great beaches, shave ice, sushi, etc. Condo was very comfortable for a family of 4. Lots of dishes, pots and pans and kitchen basics like coffee, spices and all the cleaning supplies you may need. Beds were comfortable and we left our windows open to hear the comforting sounds of the ocean as we slept. Showers were great. We always left the lanai screen open and never felt the need to open the AC. Amazing view from our lanai. Loved spending time watching the sunrise and the stars at night. We really enjoyed our stay! We would recommend highly. DLG

About the host

Hosted by Joanne (daughter) Enes (mom)

Our first vacation to Maui was all it took, we were hooked. Knowing that we wanted to return Maui as much as possible, we decided to take the proceeds from the condo we had just sold in California and use it to purchase a condo in Maui. Now that we're both retired we visit our home here in Maui at least 3 to 4 months out of the year.

Why they chose this property

We Flew back to Maui several times to check out different areas in Maui. We started in Kiehi then travelled all the way up to Napili. We ended up choosing our property for several reasons. We loved that it was not over crowded with tourists and traffic, like many areas have become. Maalaea is quiet and laid back. We enjoy sitting on the Lanai so much as you feel the warm tropical breeze flow through your hair your eyes direct you down the tropical garden path to the cool waters edge of our private swimming pool. If that were'nt captivating enough if you continue a few more feet you'll feel the warm sand between your toes because you've now arrived at the edge of our beautiful white sandy beach. At certin times of the year you can actually see the humpback whales swimming by with their calf's. . The blue tranquil waters sparkle from the sun dancing on top of the waves like little crystals, its breath taking! This is why we choose our condo in our little corner of Paradise, we hope you will enjoy it too.
