Mahana 717 Oceanfront Luxury ~ Special Rate May-July, See Note

Important Note: May 1 through July 24 there will be no AC due to roof replacement. Reduced rates are $275/nt. during this time, almost half our regular rates. Our 7th floor (#717) location has flow-through trade winds, and ceiling fans and extra floor fans for great ventilation. Many guests take a dip in the pool or the ocean, enjoy the tropical breezes, and never even use the AC. And we always offer an additional discount of 5% for a 7 night or longer stay. This is a 12 story building, so noise and disruption should be minimal. Work is done M-F from 8 to 5.

Fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of the waves, for the best sleep of your life. Relax out on the lanai, on the chaise lounge or at the dining table, and enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour cocktails with the mesmerizing ocean in front of you. We visit our condo often to refurbish and maintain it, and we have many happy repeat guests.

You'll be renting directly from us the owners, as we personally manage our condo with wonderful on-island staff should any need arise. There are no hidden fees, whether resort fees, booking fees, management fees or parking costs.

Mahana 717 is in the Lanai building (the north tower is the Molokai building) and is direct oceanfront, with sweeping views of the blue Pacific and the beautiful tropical islands of Molokai and Lanai. See turtles, dolphins, and whales from the bedroom, the lanai and the floor-to-ceiling windows. This is a one bedroom condo with Cal King bed, and a Queen-sized sofa bed in the living room, and will comfortably sleep up to 4 adults. It includes a full kitchen, washer/dryer, central A/C (except dates specified above), with large pool, spa, and the beach right downstairs. You can play tennis, pickleball, or shuffleboard. There are two BBQ areas and plenty of free parking.

The kitchen includes refrigerator with ice maker, Keurig single cup or carafe coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, French press, waffle iron, electric hand mixer, toaster, and full spice rack. We don't just leave you a "starter kit" of paper products and soaps. You'll find plenty of supplies for your stay, including foil, plastic wrap, ziploc bags, laundry soap, and paper products. Choose to dine out at wonderful local restaurants, or cook your own meals at the condo...you'll find everything you need. Perhaps grill some fresh catch downstairs (try some local Opah, also called Moonfish), or get some take-out, and dine on your own private lanai. Dramatic sunsets and the beautiful islands of Lanai and Molokai will be in full view...you won't find a better table at any restaurant!

During our fall '23 visit, added a new 55" Smart TV in the living room, to make it easier to stream your favorite shows. There's a DVD player, another TV in the bedroom, two large ceiling fans, new washer/dryer, an iron and ironing board, and many other extras to make your stay comfortable. You'll find beach chairs, beach towels, beach umbrella and 2 coolers, and a personally curated/frequently updated list of nearby restaurants, shops and other amenities. You can visit the Maui Concierge Services desk downstairs in the lobby, to conveniently book activities and tours for your stay.

There's a reason our condo has consistently "exceptional" 5.0/5 reviews. We answer your questions promptly, and you're not dealing with a big management company, or being assigned some random unit. Our condo's reviews are submitted directly to our listing by our prior guests. We can't change a word of them, only add our reply. All the photos are of our actual unit. The keypad door entry system and self-registration give you easy access. Including the spacious lanai, it’s 1000 sq. feet of paradise, with everything you need for your island escape...the only thing missing is YOU! Better plan ahead, our calendar stays pretty full.

We visit Maui 2 to 3 times a year, continually upgrading and refurbishing the condo, making sure it's exactly as promised. Don't be surprised to find the condo even better than the pictures and description.

This condo is recommended for up to 4 adults, and is not set up to be child-friendly (no porta crib, etc.). There is no children's pool, and the pool downstairs begins at 4 ft. and ends at 9 ft.

Mahalo and Aloha for visiting our site, and enjoy your Maui Escape! There is NO SMOKING whatsoever in this condo, including on the lanai.

Important note: We strongly recommend you research and purchase travel insurance for your trip. Usually that needs to be purchased within 10-14 days after your booking/first payment for the trip. We have a FIRM cancellation policy.

Last minute find of a lifetime!
We had the VERY good fortune of booking this listing last minute and we were both blown away by the cleanliness, completeness and true hosting that we were met with. Many vacation rentals feel impersonal and have lost the "local touch". NOT THIS ONE! From the moment you book the communication and recommendations are what I would expect from a 5 star property, and this is exactly that!

Skip the resort, THIS is the place you're looking for!
This was the perfect condo for a perfect vacation! The floor to ceiling windows were incredible. We could hear the ocean waves every night as we slept. During the day, it’s like the whales were performing a show just for us. We saw them completely breach and come fully out of the water. Better than any whale watching tour we’ve ever been on. And, we saw several sea turtles! So many great conveniences were provided including coolers, a snorkel set with mask, beach umbrella, beach chairs, kitchen essentials such as sandwich bags, plastic wrap, containers of all types, spices, etc. All of those things came in VERY handy! We definitely want to book another vacation in this condo!

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Crystal

Host profile image
We're beyond excited to be the new owners of Mahana at Kaanapali 717! We're from Northern California, have enjoyed many travels thanks to my husband's Naval career, but we've always been drawn to the ocean. For Valentine’s Day 2007 we visited Maui for the 1st time, it was magical! Beaches, snorkeling, the scent of plumeria, the sound of the ocean... it was breathtaking, romantic, and unforgettable. Then it was back home to the mainland where life went on, we continued raising our 3 sons, but we visited Hawaii as often as we could. Eventually we settled back in Northern California when Jim retired from the Navy. We were blessed to purchase an oceanfront condo on Kauai in 2012. We visited often, renovating and refurbishing each trip. We had great success on vrbo, helping others enjoy Kauai. We then bought an oceanfront studio on Maui in 2015. Fast forward to 2022, we were able to sell both units and purchase our dream condo, Mahana 717. We average three or four 5-star reviews per month. They're posted directly to our listing by our previous guests. We can't change a word of them, just add our reply. We love being vacation rental owners, love helping our guests enjoy Maui, and always strive to provide the very best customer service. Come escape to Maui, be our guests, and experience the magic and aloha of Hawaii! Enjoy the beaches, snorkeling, nightlife, upcountry Maui, and sunrises up on Haleakala. At the end of your day exploring, you'll come back to Mahana 717, with that oceanfront lanai and the sound of the surf... You won't want to leave! We’re happy to share our condo, and spread the Aloha!

Why they chose this property

Imagine the time approaching sunset, the sun is just kissing the horizon, the sky turns pink, then purple and orange, and you're enjoying a mai tai on your oceanfront lanai at Mahana 717...what could be better? Or in the morning, all you're hearing are the birds and the gently lapping waves, and you're sipping coffee on your lanai with two islands in full view. On your right, Molokai is turning ever greener, to your left the island of Lanai is becoming more golden, and it's so peaceful and quiet... We invite you to come enjoy our condo at the Mahana, with spectacular views of the blue Pacific, just steps away from sandy Kaanapali beach. The resort consists of twin towers (717 is on the 7th floor in the south tower, called the Lanai tower) on 5 acres, with beautiful grounds and oceanfront heated pool and spa. You're close to championship golf courses, great restaurants, a food truck park, snorkeling and shopping, situated conveniently between Lahaina and Kapalua.

What makes this property unique

During the winter months humpback whales migrate to the warmer waters around Hawaii, and they use the ʻAuʻau channel in front of Kaanapali and West Maui as their nursery. ( ʻAuʻau translates "to take a bath," referring to its calm bath-like conditions). They birth their calves there, and instruct them for life out in the open ocean. They can put on a spectacular show, breeching and flipping their tales and flukes, all in view from the 7th floor vantage point of this condo. When you walk in the front door of 717, you're drawn straight ahead to the floor to ceiling windows, and the 180° ocean views from every corner of the condo.
