About this property

SO CLOSE YOU CAN HEAR THE OCEAN-Oceanfront-Unobstructed View-Quiet Top Floor

It doesn't get much closer to the ocean than this! Kahana Reef is just steps away from the water, with amazing views of the ocean and the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Whether you lay in a chair on the grassy front lawn, sit at the lanai, walk to the sandy beach next door, or take a dip in the pool, you can hear the peaceful sound of the ocean from everywhere on this property. It is a smaller complex with masonry construction, which adds to the peace and quiet of it all. It’s also centrally located between Kapalua and Kaanapali, for you to enjoy all that West Maui has to offer. It’s an amazing location for a relaxing getaway.
Guess how much we have changed our cleaning practices since Covid-19 came along? Not at all! That's because we have always taken the time to provide unequaled care with our housekeeping. We sanitize every light switch, every handle and every surface-every time. We even change the mattress pad and wash all our comforters and blankets with every guest; our cleaners say it's "unheard of".
Our property is Owner operated and maintained, which offers a level of care that you won’t get with a management company. We care that each of our guests feels at home while visiting Maui.
This is a spacious top floor, 611sf, one bedroom, one bathroom unit. The kitchen is fully equipped and has granite countertops and newer appliances. The bedroom has a king-sized bed, and there is a queen-sized pull-out sofa bed in the living room. With new finishes, new bedroom furniture, "Westin Heavenly" mattress and box spring, 70" television and much, much more, you'll get the most comfortable, oceanfront stay at an affordable price.
Kahana is centrally located minutes away from Kapalua, Napili, and Ka’anapali, where you can enjoy the best beaches, golf, and restaurants. There are also lots of restaurants within walking distance.
Free wifi, cable TV, parking, phone, gas bbq grills available on ground floor, laundry facility on-site. No air conditioning is provided in this complex.
Minimum 4-night​ rental. There is a $200.00 cleaning fee. Daily maid service is an additional charge. 17.42% State and County Taxes added to all rates, rates subject to change in accordance with State of Hawaii statutes.

The Best

I will start with words: gorgeous sunsets, whales, turtles, cooling afternoon winds, quiet, spectacular view. We awoke to the soothing sound of waves that totally drowned out anything but dreams. The condo was well supplied with pots and pans for cooking. Very clean and comfortable. I slept in the bedroom on a fantastic mattress. My friend slept on the sofa bed. The traffic noise ended around 11pm and started up again at 4:30 am, in between I was lulled back to sleep by the ocean waves. The biggest problem with traffic noise was due to “shaking” loud music of a few repeat drivers, (I watched the traffic one morning,) and mufflers that didn’t muffle. The road that Khana Reef is on, is also a bus route that starts around 5am and comes by every 30min. Very Accessible. The grounds and location are perfect. There is a beach adjacent to the condos that offers all a beach has to offer to a swimmer and sun lover as well as snorkelers and sand castle builders. Grocery store a few miles away and excellent Chinese take out is just across the street. Home away from home. A glass of wine to watch the sunset tops of a great day. Aloha.

Beautiful ocean view

The view from the lanai was as good as the pictures. We saw whales and turtles each day of our trip. Even though there was no AC, with the windows open there was a lovely cross breeze that kept us comfortable. It did mean keeping the bedroom window open, which points to the hallway not the ocean, but thankfully it was a pretty quiet building. Bed was comfy.

Absolutely stunning

The condo is situated on a breathtaking part of Maui. It’s worth renting the place just for the view from the balcony. The unit had everything that we needed for a delightful stay and we would like to come back in the future.

Amazing view

I cannot say enough good things about this property. The view is amazing! I would come here again for that reason alone. The condo is immaculate. It feels like an upper-end hotel with more space and amenities. The location is great and within walking distance to a local coffee shop and a few restaurants. I would definitely come back to this property again.

50th Anniversary Trip

Wonderful condo! Everything was exactly as described online. Best ever views, so close to the water. We also enjoyed that it was a smaller property so it was peaceful, on the quiet side. Loved how clean it was! Thanks for that. So easy to access the unit, easy parking. My husband had spine surgery so our request for a shower chair was GREATLY appreciate. Only recommendation would be to have some spices available for those that wish to cook a meal or two.

Maui stay 2024

This was exactly as shown. The lanai was great with the ocean view & sound of the waves. We discovered that near sunset the sea turtles come up to the seagrass covered rocks below the sea wall to feed. We also saw crabs & the last evening a group of dolphins was playing in the waves. The location is very nice with China Boat right across the street, Dollie’s & The Beach House in walking distance & the Sea House & it’s amazing happy hour just a short car ride away. Would love to stay again.

Amazing views

Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The view of the ocean is as pictured - we could see whales everyday right from the balcony. We had everything we needed. Just a note, there are no condiments other than salt and pepper, so if you plan on cooking a lot, you might want to pick some up. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. The condo was quiet so it was a great place to be at the end of a long day of sightseeing. Would definitely stay here again!

Extremely superb

My wife and I have stayed in a least 50+ VRBOs all over the world. Bree and David’s condo was the best. First of all, they are kind and gracious hosts. They kept in contact with us for many months before our stay. When the fire destroyed parts of Maui they assured us that since we were coming in January that we would be fine. Their condo is decorated in a minimalist style, but there is nothing you need that is not there. My wife spent hours every day watching whales swim through the channel. The condo is extremely comfortable and cleaned in a superb manner. We were ready to write an excellent review the moment we walked through the door. It is furnished with a large, clear LG TV that has perfect reception. The furnishings are all comfortable, especially the king sized bed. Parking is easy and the laundry is right downstairs. We could not be any happier than we were to stay in this lovey condo. The views are absolutely stunning all day long. Thank you Bree and David for a remarkable stay

50th Anniversary getaway!

Located right on the water near beaches and local shops. LaHaina was off limits due to the terrible fire in August. There is a lot to see and do,renting a car is a must from the airport. There is no A/C in the unit,but the prevailing winds kept us comfortable. The tourism time is about to start,businesses are just getting opened back up after not having power and drinkable water in some areas. We were all supplied with all the utilities. Had a great week of relaxing,entertained by the sea turtles, dolphins, dugout canoes and surfers. Be sure to visit Slaughterhouse beach, great swimming,snorkeling,and watching sea life.
