About this property

On top of the Ocean Hideaway - Mermaid's Palace on Maui

Welcome to Kaimana at Pohailani Maui! Enjoy amazing ocean views, sunsets, wildlife watching, and neighbor island views of Molokai and Lanai from this well provisioned condo located on West Maui.

We are located so close to the ocean you could throw a stone into the waves. So close, it is as if you are on a boat! Take advantage of Maui living on your private lanai (balcony), as well as spectacular ocean views extending down the coast.

The main living area has full ocean views and is very comfortable. Accented with tropical hardwoods, this studio has a comfortable Queen sized bed and Queen sized sofa sleeper.

A nice lanai allows you to expand the living area outdoors for full indoor/outdoor living in your private oasis. Dine in with the best ocean view.

Whale watch, gaze out over the sea, or just listen to the waves. Relax and enjoy paradise. Peace and tranquility define this cozy condo by the sea.

Kaimana is fully furnished with a full kitchen and bath, and has everything you need to enjoy gracious island living, just bring your swimsuit and toothbrush! We have all the linens, towels, beach equipment (boogie board, beach chairs, beach umbrella) and kitchen gadgets you may want.

The condo is stocked with quality appointments. The sheets are 100% Egyptian cotton, the towels 100% cotton, and the bed is a plush Simmons BeautyRest. This condo is set up as your own home.

Complete with a new full kitchen and new bathroom with a walk-in shower, Kaimana has all the touches of home for you to enjoy your stay after sightseeing around Maui.

Kahana is located North of historic Lahaina town, between Kaanapali and Kapalua resorts, and is a half mile from a grocery store, shops, and a farmers market. World class resorts, famous beaches, championship golf courses, and even ferry rides to Lanai and Molokai are within 15 minutes driving time or less. Pohailani sits on 8 acres of tropical landscaping. We invite you to enjoy our piece of paradise.

Super sweet studio

First time to Maui and this was definitely a great place to stay. The host was attentive and amazing, very communicative for any kind of questions. It was exactly as advertised (actually better, because the oceans at your door and you can see the sunset on the porch). Everything you need for your stay is there too. Thanks again!!

Wonderful Getaway

Our first trip to Maui. We spent 8 days at the property. Easy access by a short drive to beautiful beaches with great snorkeling. We watched whales leap from the water every morning from the deck and slept to the sound of waves every night. Some good food within walking distance was also great. We look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful condo in Maui

This condo was so cute and clean! The views from the porch are incredible, face the sunset, and we even got to watch whales put on a show every day. She provides everything you could need including binoculars, beach chairs/umbrella, towels, and the most comprehensive binder I have ever seen! I think Melissa has information on anything and everything you could possibly do on Maui! She was very quick and responsive, we had no issues finding the location or getting in. We loved sleeping listening to the waves all night, and with the trade winds we never needed the AC. We would definitely recommend this condo and stay here again!

Small but all that you need!

It is a studio, so pretty small - pictures are accurate. Had just about everything that you need. A great view (2nd floor), good breezes, ceiling fans (which we never needed!), beach towels, chairs, umbrella. Kitchen was decently stocked with plates, etc., toaster, blender and more. We appreciated the full coffee container which was plenty for the week. It would have been nice to have more places to dry our towels and bathing suits. We love this location - close to our fav snorkel places (Kapalua and Kahekili), and nice Chinese food just a block away. The building looks like it needs some repairs, and no elevator. All in all, we loved it.
