About this property
Kanai A Nalu-Spectacular Whale Watching, Beachfront, Wifi & Split Air thru out
Short term rental approved by the state of Hawaii through at least 2030!
Beachfront paradise! Enjoy whale watching and beautiful sunsets from your lanai and Sugar Beach in front of Kanai A Nalu (gentle surf). Your 'home away from home' has all of the comforts you need to make your island vacation unforgettable! Centrally located, this condo is perfect for couples or families. It's a great place for people who like to snorkel, dive, fish and sail, or for those who like to keep their feet on land while enjoying a fabulous ocean view! Enjoy watching the boats sail into Maalaea Harbor and visit Maui's #1 tourist attraction, the Maui Ocean Center, as well as shops and restaurants at the end of the street!
Island life is complete with ceiling fans in both bedrooms, the living room and dining room and split air units in each bedroom and the living area! If you need to stay in touch with the outside world, hi speed internet/wifi is available at no additional charge and a work desk to be comfortable if needed.. Maple cabinets, Corian countertops, porcelain tile and wood floors enhance your vacation experience inside.
Being on top in our 4th floor, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo only makes the view better! The condo has easy elevator access and air conditioning on days when the trade winds aren't enough to keep your comfort level perfect. Everything has been made available to you for your stay from kitchen utensils to luxurious oversized beach towels, hair dryer to coffee maker; bring only a need for relaxation and yourselves. The whales come back every year from December to April to put on their incredible show which can be seen while having breakfast on the lanai or directly in front of Kanai A Nalu. If you're up for more adventure, the Maalaea Harbor, just down the street, has daily boat tours to Molokini reef for snorkeling and scuba diving, or whale watching and sunset tours. World class golfing can be found all over Maui, some of the closest courses- Sandalwood, Waikapu, Lani and Elleair (Silversword) are within just a few minutes drive.
Centrally located on the island, only 10 minutes from the airport in Kahului and 15-20 minutes away from the tourist areas of Wailea and Kaanapali, Kanai A Nalu is world's apart in it's solitude. The condo complex is on a quiet dead end street that ends at a park and 700 acre Kealia Nature Preserve. The other end of the street boasts the Maui Ocean Center (Aquarium), shops and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. The beach stretches for miles to the east, in front of the nature preserve and its gentle surf is great for boogie boarding, snorkeling and beginning surfers. Due to the preserve, there is no development for the first several miles along this picturesque beach so many times, you'll be one of the few on it.
Whether you're looking for adventure or just want to get away from all the hustle and bustle, Maalaea is a great place to start! You can lounge by our heated pool or snorkel with the giant sea turtles. If you'd like to cook your own meals, you can do so in our full size kitchen, or use the gas or charcoal BBQ by the pool-but if you'd rather let someone else do the work, Maui has many wonderful restaurants.
Whatever your interests, make sure you save time for merely enjoying the sound of the surf and watching the waves, from the lanai or down on the beach and your time on Maui will have been well spent!

The unit is nice and clean. Well stocked except for bar ware. Unfortunately the direct deach access from the condos is permanently closed due to erosion of the bulkhead.
The condo was in excellent condition and in a great location for the activities we had planned. The split ac unit was a big plus. We were able to keep the bedrooms and living area comfortable. The view from the balcony was great.
We had a fantastic time at this condo! The condo is very well equipped with kitchen items and beach needs, including chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, and beach towels. The staff onsite were friendly and we would absolutely stay again!
The refurbished pool is really nice! The bedrooms and lanai are on the small side, but the unit was very clean and beds were comfortable. Nice ocean views and a quiet location half a block from the beach. Host provided lots of helpful details before we arrived.
Very nice clean well appointed condo, with everything that we needed for a wonderful vacation. It was perfect for our family. The kitchen and condo itself were well stocked and had many things for use on the beach as well which we were very thankful for.
Awesome view! A beach that is not crowded. Quiet and out of the way of crowds, but close enough to Chick-fil-A, and Krispy Kreme. Condo has everything you need to cook your own food, should you go grocery shopping. The Aquarium is close and a fun place to spend a few hours. Buy your tickets on line the day before to save #10.00 each.
As promised this was a fantastic view in Maui. We sat on the balcony that looks out over the beach and oven, and it was beautiful. Every morning and every night. I loved that there were 2 separate bedrooms, one have 2 beds so each of the kids got their own bed. They also had their own bathroom. Great condo for a great price with a fantastic view.
The picture is exactly as it shows. It is a nice quiet place to have coffee in the morning. We were able to walk down and watch the sun rise if we wanted a different angle. The entire experience was wonderful for our girl trip. I would most definitely stay again. There were 5 in our group and it was very spacious. They even were able to accommodate an early check in for us. Thank you to Lynnette for helping us to make wonderful memories. We stayed In September 2025.
Great place to stay right in the middle of Maui. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week long stay. The beach is just a short walk from the unit. The owner and management were very responsive. The water heater went out on our second night and they had a plumber out the next day to install a new one! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Maui.
Great location as a base to explore the island. Condo was well furnished. Worked great for our family which included 4 generations and 3 separate units.
The property was amazing and perfect for our vacation. We loved the location. It was so quiet and peaceful, allowing us to enjoy the beauty without the hustle and bustle of other properties. We were able to watch whales breaching from the patio and turtles right up in front of the property. It was close enough to everything but secluded enough to get away from the chaos. I would definitely recommend this property.
Our unit was as described and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was able allow a late check out due to my sister having a medical issue.a med
Great views, great location, great hosts, great amenities, great beds!!! Just great

Why they chose this property
After visiting Maui for almost 20 years, we finally stayed at Kanai A Nalu and loved it! Easy to get around the island, but secluded and tranquil when we just wanted to stay at the condo-exactly what we were looking for during our times in Maui! The beach is almost always ours with just a few others sharing it and the surf is gentle enough for our little ones to play in and build sandcastles!
What makes this property unique
Easy access to tour, quiet corner, hidden gem!
