About this apartment rental


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!

***For international payments*** when VRBO charges us an international transaction fee (3%) this will be passed on to you in the form of a request for additional payment prior to arrival.

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.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
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.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
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.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2023
Screen on patio didn't work/slide well, so we couldn't keep the patio door open, TV in extra bedroom didn't work. Not sure if it was plugged in, didn't want to try to move the dresser. washer stunk, should be away to leave the door open when not in use. Not enough cups, never had to use the dishwasher, as we washed our cups out each use.
