Steps from the Sand ! Stunning Curated Interior Mahana at Kaanapali. Fully AC!

The Mahana at Kaanapali Unit 317, Lahaina, Maui

During this year's annual visit (June 2023), we repainted the condo with a different color scheme that Quyen used at our other remodels. We also replace the bar stools with back support to make them more comfortable. We also order a custom art piece for the bedroom as well.

Our fully renovated (May 2018), luxurious, coastal contemporary one-bedroom suite with a floor-to-ceiling window and private lanai is located on Kaanapali Beach just north of the famous Puu Kekaa (Black Rock beach). We are on the 3rd floor of the Lanai building (left building) at The Mahana.

We are trying to capture the essence of resort living with the cool and casual style of Tommy Bahama's new lines of furniture. Fully stocked gourmet kitchens with brand new appliances, bathroom with dual sinks (a rarity with one-bedroom suite), washer and dryer will make sure that you will feel pampered and relaxed after an active day at the beach.

Stroll our mile-long stretch of beach, snorkel just offshore, relax at the oceanfront swimming pool. Explore West Maui's many beaches and bays, championship golf course in Kapalua, fine shopping at Whalers Village.

Instead of purchasing a condo that was partially upgraded to the previous owner's taste or budget, we selected this condo because we can start with a clean slate. The materials, appliances, and furniture we chose are the reflection of our desire to have a luxury oasis for our guests, or when we visit. My wife hates it when we spent our hard-earned money on vacation and stay at a place that is not nicer than our own home. Therefore, we are doing our best to make sure that our guests enjoy the inside of our unit as much as they are enjoying the beautiful, well-kept ground at the Mahana or the spectacular ocean view.

Here are what you will be enjoying when you stay at our newly remodeled unit. We break the bank but you won't have to. :-)
* Central air and ceiling fans in every room
* Complimentary WIFI
* Complimentary parking with no resort fees.
* New tile floor. American Orlean porcelain tile plank to mimic light wood flooring throughout the condo and the lanai.

* Brand new shower, toilet, and vanity. We are adding a much needed second sink to the completely remodeled bathroom.
** Our guest will be enjoying a starter set of English Spa collection by Gilchrist & Soames: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, mineral bath and Exfoliating Oatmeal Soap
*Brand new furniture from Tommy Bahama in the living room and Dining Room
**McConnell Queen Sleeper with upgraded Air Dream Mattress with Petrified Wood Top side table
** Breakfront Bachelors Chest for our guest to store their clothes if they are sleeping on the sleeper sofa.

** Custom closet organizer

* Beach ready. We provide a beach umbrella, blankets and chairs, boogie boards, and snorkeling equipment for two.

Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the lanai with comfortable Janus et Cie’s outdoor dining set. Ceiling fan with light keeps you comfortable on the hottest day.

Duke's Restaurant and Bar is steps away next door and right on the beach. Java Jazz, five minutes walk away, is a local favorite that serves breakfast and dinner with live music.
** September 2023 **
We visit right after the fire to ensure our future guests would have a great experience

** June 2023 **
After five years, our condo still looks beautiful. A big thank you to our guests and our cleaning crew for taking excellent care of the place.

This time, Quyen wanted to add some pop to the condo; so we repainted the ceiling, walls, and doors with a new set of colors. The picture didn't really bring out the differences with the new colors but it looks great in person.

We also brought over new bar stools with back support that allows our guests to sit more comfortably. This is where our sons sit for hours (after coming back from the beach) playing games on their computers.

** May 2020**
The first picture you see is taken on May 29th, 2020. Two years after our remodel. Our condo still looks as great two years later. A big thank you to our guests for taking great care of our home-away-from-home.

**April 2019**
This is our second trip back after the renovation completed in May 2019. We restocked the kitchen, upgraded the rice cooker, and added the All-Clad waffle maker.

We replaced all the King pillows, upgraded the bedroom TV to 50" 4K, two brand new set of snorkeling gears, new and larger Chilewich rug in the entryway.

We also deep clean the floor and grout.

Perfect in every way. Eager to return.

So many positives. So many thoughtful touches from the owner including a chef’s delight drawer of spices, every cooking utensil you could think of, tea & coffee, and more. All the equipment you need for a day at the beach. Condo was spotless when we checked in. Comfortable king-size bed. Lanai overlooking the beach where surfers, turtles and whales were always in view. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Very responsive owner. Mahalo to owner Quyen and Michael. Really enjoyed it!

Our Stay in Maui

Condo is beautiful and the location/view is amazing. Many times the photos make the property look better than it really is - not the case with this one! Minor issues with the TV/cable going on the Fritz in the evenings but TV is not a big deal when you are there. Thanks!

Sister's getaway

This property exceeded our expectations! The condo overlooks the beach and we were able to see whales from the condo. Listening to the waves at night was a wonderful way to end the day. The host was happy to answer questions about the condo's accessibility for my disabled sister and offered some helpful resources to make her experience that much better. The kitchen was FULLY equipped with everything you could need and the closet was full of items to make your day at the beach the best. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Maui and I hope that we can return to this condo again in the future.

Home away from home in a stunning location!!!

I’d leave a 10 star review if I could! The condo is perfect in every way…clean, very well stocked with anything you’d need including beach chairs, boogie boards & snorkel gear, and the location was perfect for seeing all the sights on west side of the island. The sunsets were beautiful! Snorkeling out front was spectacular! Restaurants, food trucks & grocery store in easy walking distance! And we loved listening to the sound of the waves at night. Quyen was an outstanding host. This was an amazing place to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary & we hope to come back soon!

Fantastic Maui Vacation

Quyen’s place was a perfect location. We were able to enjoy all Maui has to offer. We would have been comfortable just hanging out on the lanai with the beautiful ocean views. The floor to ceiling windows were fantastic. The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Maui

This is our second stay and it is still a wonderful place 5 years later. The location can’t be beat, 5-15min from everything! And those views from the condo lanai are amazing! We saw sea turtles every day we were there. Quyen communicated with us on every aspect of the stay. If we are fortunate enough to visit Maui again, we will for sure stay here again! Mahalo
