About this property

Beautifully Upgraded, Beachfront, Ground Floor....Dream Vacation!!! #118


Kanai A Nalu (“Gentle Breeze”) is located in Maalaea; a place often called “Maui’s best kept secret”. Our condo is direct OCEANFRONT, BEACHFRONT! You simply cannot get any closer to the ocean than our beautifully upgraded, ground floor unit!

From the lanai, gaze out and watch the sun rise over Haleakala (House of the Sun), the long dormant 10,000 foot volcano. Watch green sea turtles bobbing up for air and rolling in the surf, even sunning themselves on the beach. In the winter months (Nov-April) you will have a front row seat to breaching whales as they come back to the islands to give birth and nurse their young in the warm Hawaiian waters. In the summer months during a good south swell, you can watch surfers on the legendary surf break “Freight Trains”, one of the world’s fastest surfable waves.

Brew yourself a cup of freshly ground Kona coffee and make up a plate of local papaya, mango and bananas and sit out on the lanai with the Pacific Ocean just steps away. Why settle for less when you’ve come all this way to experience paradise?

You may find that a week (or even a month) is not enough time to fully appreciate this place. We welcome long-term renters, retirees and snowbirds to come and stay awhile!
Kids are welcome too: we provide the playpen, highchair and beach toys. They’ll love swimming in the complex pool and picking bananas from the tree right beside the lanai!

Be one of the first to enjoy our recently remodeled ground floor 2 bed, 2 bath condo. Travertine floors throughout, new granite countertops and all new furnishings. Details are important to us, that is why we transported unique lighting fixtures thousands of miles in our suitcases and made custom accent bedding and pillows for the bedrooms. We’ve installed some great perks like electric blinds, plantation shutters and a wine cooler. Even the things that may not be noticeable like quality fixtures, nice doors and a good quiet garbage disposal all work together to create a luxurious feeling.
On top of that we filled the space with original local art from Maui artisans. In the living room, we have showcased the beautiful fine art photography of Christopher Eagan (Lahaina). In the kitchen we had 2 large custom tile mosaics crafted by Makena Tile. In the master bath, a floor to ceiling bamboo design in etched tile by Janie Aldrige.

The Master Suite is truly a oceanfront retreat, with a King sized platform bed, flat screen TV and decadent white bedding with custom accent pillows. The Master bath is luxurious with a huge walk-in shower and double vanities with wall to wall mirrors reflecting all the beautiful surroundings and ocean views.
Before bed, take one last look at the moonlight shimmering on the Pacific and fall asleep listening to the rhythmic sound of the surf.
The guest bedroom has 2 Tommy Bahama styled twin beds with gel foam mattress toppers, clean crisp white bedding and custom made accent linens made from vintage Alfred Shaheen (the man behind the iconic Hawaiian Shirts) fabrics. The bedroom also has a small flat screen TV with cable and a cooling ceiling fan.

The kitchen of our condo is well equipped for those who want to cook and Kanai A Nalu has a BBQ area near the heated pool located in the center of the complex.
Our unit offers guests free long distance within the US and Canada as well as secure, high speed WiFi. 42” Flat screen TV with cable.
Maalaea’s trade winds provide a cooling breeze that keeps the temperatures just right, although we have a timer controlled A/C in the living room just in case.

We provide the beach toys, snorkel sets, boogie boards, skim board, sand toys & beach chairs...so grab some toys and explore your eco-diverse surroundings. Amazing boogie boarding, paddle boarding and snorkeling right in front of our unit!
20 steps off the lanai, and your toes are in the sand of one of Maui’s longest beaches. 4 miles of secluded sand to walk, run and beachcomb. You won’t find any crowds though because access to the beach is protected from the road by the bird-filled-ponds of Kealia Wildlife Refuge. It is so amazing to walk this beach and literally feel like you have it all to yourself!

A 5 minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to Maalaea Harbor where you will find a small grocery store, deli, craft market, restaurants and the Maui Ocean Center (Maui’s #1 tourist attraction), the Pacific Whale Foundation, miniature golf, shopping and most of the ocean activities available on Maui (sunset dinner cruises, deep sea fishing, snorkeling tours & whale watching).
Centrally located Maalaea, makes getting anywhere on the island easy. 15 minutes from the airport, a 5 minute drive south and you are in the long village of Kihei and a bit further, the ritzy resorts of Wailea. Twenty minutes to the west is the old whaling village of Lahaina, with it’s magnificent Banyan Tree and shopping galleries. You couldn’t be in a better location to explore all Maui has to offer.

We would love to share our getaway with you. It gives us great pleasure to have others experience the exquisite gem that is Maui. Its setting, its rain forests, mountains, beaches, upcountry adventures and the underwater world to explore, make Maui truly magical!

Wonderful Accommodations

This condo is beautiful! We loved the artistic Hawaiian decor. We enjoyed the beach supplies which included: snorkel masks, flippers, sand shoes, boogie boards and beach chairs. The view was lovely and the condo is close to an uncrowded beach. We also liked being able to walk to Maalaea Harbor for a boat tour, the small shopping area, a few restaurants, and the Maui Ocean Center. The condo's location made it easy to take day trips in all directions.

So close to the water… we almost got sprayed 😉

The property is so close to the water that we could hear and see every wave crash which made for awesome coffee in the morning. By opening the window at night, the sound made a relaxing night’s sleep. The property is located centrally to everything in Maui. We were 30 minutes or less from almost everything we wanted to do. We’d definitely stay here again!

Paradise Perfection

Everything about this place is truly outstanding! Todd and Cindy have thought of everything and makes their place a home away from home for their guests. The location was perfect for quick access to all our must do/see locations in Maui. The proximity to the water and being right on the beach was our favorite part. We loved waking up to hear the waves crashing and the watching the sun rise over Haleakala. We can’t wait to come back!

Enjoyed our stay

Being able to walk out to head to the beach was nice. (Although you have to step over a small roped off area to get there.) Nice large dining room table, kitchen with good amenities, nice towels, beach towels, and beach chairs. We never used the air conditioner, the breeze and it cooled down in the evening. There was plenty of parking and provided recycling bins right next to the trash bins.

Perfect condo to celebrate our anniversary

We had never been to Hawaii so decided it was the place to go to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This spacious condo was perfect. It was in a great location to get to different parts of the island. It had an awesome view of the water. We enjoyed sitting on the first floor Lanai and watching the waves, the surfers, and the sea turtles. It had everything we needed including beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and towels. It was a short walk to a nice beach that even had some shade trees.The bed was very comfortable. The unit was very clean and well stocked with items we could use. It was nice to be able to turn on the air conditioner when we needed it. Cindy and Todd were very easy to communicate with. Mahalo.

Excellent Maui Vacation

The lising photos do not do jusice to the condo. The furnishings and decor are exceptional, yet the condo is very comfortable and felt like home. The kitchen was well stocked for meal prep. Although Maui is going through a tough time, there were no shortage of things to do and we went on several excursions. The condo is centrally located which made travel to events simple. There are a few shops, restaurants, boating excursions, and the Maui Ocean Aqrarium at the Maalaea Harbor which are within walking distance from the condo. Although there is a sea wall directly in front of the condo, the access to the beautiful beach is only steps away with great swimming, snorkeling, and long beach walks available. The condo is stocked with beach equipment making beach days very enjoyable. We were sorry to leave but definitely will be back. Thanks Todd and Cindy for sharing your beautiful condo and for all the valuable communication leading up to and during our stay.

Wonderful unit!

This condo is in an absolutely perfect location to explore all of Maui. It sits at the western end of Ma’alea Bay on a residential street, along with six or seven other small condo buildings. As a result, the area is quiet and very private, but you can access a 5 mile long, sandy Beach by walking down the seawall at the building, or taking a three minute walk to the end of the road where the state park begins. We walked the beach, as well as the adjacent nature preserve, every day. Every day we sat on our lanai and watched the whales, jumping in the bay. It was absolutely incredible. We also walked to the little market area that surrounds the Maui Ocean Center every day for ice cream. The unit itself is wonderful. Beautifully decorated, more than adequately stocked with everything. The bed in the master bedroom is incredibly comfortable, the towels and linens are soft, in the shower in the master bathroom is incredible. We highly recommend this unit and would absolutely stay there again on our next trip to Maui.

Already booked for next year!

I wanted the perfect place for my family to seek solidarity and solace after many trying months. I find it here! Todd and Cindy have put their heart and soul in offering the perfect lodging for families to come together and feel the Aloha spirit. Everything was clean and tidy, it was tastefully arranged with island vibe furniture and decor. The beds were comfy. The tile work was beautiful. After visiting many spots on the island I recognized the local artwork hanging on the walls! Sitting on the lanai, drinking coffee, listening to the waves crash while turtles bobbed in the surf gave you that ahhhh feeling. We never needed the a/c but still nice to know it was an option. Everything was stocked except body soap but we brought our own. The kitchen had all the spices, condiments and even bottled water the previous vacationers left. The unit was quiet, the neighbors were friendly. The extremely short walk and step over a rope to the beach was fantastic. Someone with mobility issues would not be able to access the beach though. We snorkeled and kids had fun boogie boarding in the surf. I loved that Maalaea was centrally located to all the major hotspots like Kihei/Wailea, Kaanapali and Paia. Within a 20-30 min walk is the harbor with some cute shops, 2 restaurants and the Maui Ocean Center. Tantè’s Happy Hour Mai Tai’s $3.50!! We loved this condo! We got “Maui’d” as well! Thank you for of the hard work you put forth to make all of our vacations memorable 🌺

We LOVED our stay in this cute little condo! I always really appreciate when a rental has clearly spent time trying to make the space feel intentional and homey. The location was amazing, 20min driving to anything you could want and you cannot beat being steps from the ocean. The lanai truly was our favorite part, we loved watching the sunrise, waves, turtles, and sunsets. Todd and Cindy were beyond accommodating and we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Todd & Cindy

Host profile image
We are Todd and Cindy McKenna and we live in a small mountain town in the beautiful Northwest. Todd has a backround in travel, owning a travel agency for about 10 years. We both have a passion for good design and decor. We have combined our talents and interests to bring together this beautiful place in paridise. A place we enjoy vacationing in, and sharing with our guests. It is our desire to provide an incredible vacation experience in Maui.

Why they chose this property

After spending years coming to Maui we have been blessed to have found such a perfect property for our family to vacation for many years to come! It has everything we ever dreamed of in a vacation property, oceanfront on a long sandy beach. Great snorkeling and boogie boarding right outside our door! We also love the fact that our unit is ground level so the "living space" just expands right out into the grass, just 15 steps to the sand!

What makes this property unique

We are still pinching ourselves over the location of our property, this beach can't be beat for natural, undestirbed beauty! There are rare hawksbill turtles that come up and lay their eggs on this portion of Maui beach. Sea Turtles abound here, in fact on our 7 year old daughter's very first snorkeling experience (right in front of our unit)she was able to see a green sea turtle, an eel as well as beautiful colored fish along the reef. She hardly wanted to come up for air!!!
The whale activity is very high here in this bay! We've stayed in many areas of Maui but have never seen such close whale activity. During our renovations this winter, Todd was standing on the beach watching a whale slap it's tail and could literally feel the thump under his feet!
