Most people picture in their minds their dream vacation, directly on the ocean, with magnificent sunrises, romantic sunsets, and being lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. My ground floor, corner condo could fulfill that dream. When you walk in, the view of the ocean from the living room is awesome. When you go outside, the spectacular 180 views will take your breath away. Every morning, relax on the lanai watching the sun come up over Haleakala and turtles popping up in the waves. A truly memorable experience.

My condo is at the highly rated, ocean/beach front, Kanai A Nalu. On over 2 acres with banana and plumeria trees, an oceanside shower, solar heated pool, pool-side eating area and stainless steel, commercial BBQ's. It's just a 2-minute walk to 4-mile-long, SUGAR BEACH, the longest beach on Maui, known for its soft sand. Being ground floor means you don't have to walk up and down the stairs multiple times a day, to use the pool, the BBQ's or go to the beach, and you don't have to carry luggage to the back of the complex, where the elevators are located.

Owned for over 20 years, my beach front condo is very personal to me, a relaxing retreat, thoughtfully designed with plenty of amenities for my guests, grown children, and grandchildren. Read my reviews as to what my guests say about what is provided for them. Also you can go to my personal website @ mauibeachfrontvacationrental.com

Sadly, Lahaina's harbor still has not been rebuilt. Conveniently, my condo is just 1/4 mile from the bustling Maalaea Harbor, offering easy access to fun ocean adventures. At the harbor, take a spectacular whale-watching tour with a Pacific Whale Foundation experts, explore marine life on a snorkeling excursion, or indulge in a magical sunset dinner cruise. At the harbor is 4-star dining, Hawaiian themed shops, and the renowned Maui Ocean Center, Maui's top attraction. If you visit my condo during whale watching season (Nov - Apr), experience the thrill of seeing them breaching, out in the bay from our lanai.

Our location is perfect because Maalaea is centrally located in South Maui. We're 15 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Kihei or charming Paia (reminiscent of a little Lahaina), 20 minutes to upcountry for wine tasting, 15 minutes from the breathtaking, prehistoric-looking Iao Valley, and 18 minutes from upscale Wailea, for an authentic Hawaiian luau.

I send all my guests detailed information on what's close by the condo, top rated restaurants, how to make reservations, grocery stores that deliver, the spectacular road to Hana and more. I want my guests to have the best vacation possible. I've been going to Maui for over 21 years and love to share what I have learned I've tried to keep my rates reasonable, especially compared to the other ocean front units. There are only two units that have double sized lanais that seat 6 (like mine). Not being on a corner, they lack our breathtaking 180 views. Both charge more per night and neither offer central air.

Other condo's lanais only seat 4, enclosed by side walls. Most only sleep 4 guests. Our corner condo, #117, offers amenities many units don't, such as: Central air throughout, 6 cooling ceiling fans, 3 Roku Smart TV's (Netflix, Prime and more), 3 DVD/Blu-ray players, an adjustable (firmness or softness) "Sleep Number's" King, children and toddler items (crib, stroller, pack-n-play, hi-chair, booster seat and baby gate).

There are movies, games, books, puzzles, blocks and more. For beach and pool fun we have noodles, beach towels, sand toys, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, sand chairs, and ice chests (for your trip to Hana). Our condo sleeps 6 (plus a baby in the crib).

I apologize, my description is long but, a Maui vacation is a big expense. To help with your decision, I've added lots of photos and details.

My condo features central air in the living room, dining area, main bedroom, and back bedroom unlike some units that only cool the living room and main bedroom, leaving the back bedroom uncomfortably warm. I invested in a premium system with built-in dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture, keeping guests even cooler. In the summer, when Maui's temperatures reach the 90s with 80% humidity, central A/C is a must and one with a dehumidifier makes all the difference. Also, we have new, designer ceiling fans, in the living room and dining area

Most condos have a small, single "window" unit in the living room. Mounted down low, air flow can be blocked by furniture. On a 2 or 4-hour timer, to keep the air flowing, every few hours you have to turn it back on. What a pain at night, that would be. The main living areas can become warm. The bedrooms can become hot.

The photo of our complex was taken years ago. We had a lovely beach. It starting disappearing in 2022 due to the rise in sea level. We are very fortunate that the ALWAYS sandy "Sugar Beach" starts just past our seawall. In summer it can start in front of our seawall. During high tide, guests can reach Sugar Beach through the complex next door, past their pool (best for seniors). If the tide is low and the sand is high, younger guests can enter between our seawalls. See photos with the blue arrows.

During winter, large waves remove the sand in front of the properties, so it becomes rocky. But, Sugar Beach will always be sandy. I have lots of photos of this lovely beach.

Also, guests can take a 5-minute stroll along the sidewalk or an 8-second drive down Hauoli Street (to the right), where the road ends at Haycraft Park. The park offers parking, restrooms, and showers. It opens onto breathtaking Sugar Beach, a pristine, 4-mile-long stretch of sand where no development is allowed. This untouched shoreline serves as a habitat for Honu (sea turtles), making it a great spot for snorkeling. You might even spot these majestic creatures just remember to keep the required distance. Be mindful that Maalaea, like many areas of Maui, can get breezy to windy in the afternoons as the trade winds pick up.

Our double sized lanai has 2 tables and seating for 6+. We have comfortable Adirondack chairs too. With fewer guests they can spread out, enjoying 180 views of Maui's entire So. Coast. A prior owner in a wheelchair designed the oversized lanai, level with the lawn.

Being on a corner, there's no neighbors on one side. With more windows, it's brighter inside. Our corner condo is not like an interior unit that's sandwiched between two other units. They only have one window in their main bedroom. Their 2nd bedroom's window opens to the back, facing the parking lot. The window in our 2nd bedroom faces the pool.

The main bedroom has a "Sleep Number's" King with air chambers in the mattress. Guests can adjust the firmness or softness on each side. Some condo's main bedrooms are open to the living room with thin sliding walls, offering no insulation from the noise of others. Our main bedroom's solid walls and locking door offers privacy and a quiet retreat. It has front windows facing the shore, and side windows facing the pool.

The 2nd Bedroom has twins that can be converted to a king. Both bedrooms have central air, ceiling fans, Smart TV's, and DVD/Blu-ray players. In the living room is a Queen Sleeper sofa with a memory foam mattress.

The bathroom has a walk-in/roll-in shower (wheelchair accessible) with hand held and wall mounted shower heads. The 2nd bathroom has a full-size tub with a shower above. Both have cooling ceiling fans and wall mounted hair dryers.

Our condo has a "relaxed" island feel. Most guests like it, but those that want a hi-end hotel room look, may be disappointed. Some of the furnishings are new and other pieces are not (but in very good condition). If you prefer all new, there are completely remodeled units that charge more.

Enjoy 3 Smart TV's (Prime, Netflix and more), 3 DVD/Blu-ray players, movies for all ages, a blue tooth adaptable stereo radio, (play your own music), fast 500 Mbps Wi-Fi, and a printer.

There are 2 coffee makers, (K-cups and grounds), toaster, toaster oven, a Ninja blender (for smoothies), hand blender, pots, pans, wine glasses and more. There's a digital washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, glass top stove, side-by-side fridge with ice maker and filtered water. There's an iron & ironing board.

We provide dish, hand soap, laundry, dishwasher detergent, and cleaning supplies, plus extra rolls of paper towels and toilet paper.

The condo is steps from a parking spot (regular and handicap). It has wide doorways and is wheelchair accessible, but not ADA compliant. With a ground floor unit, you don't have to go up and down stairs

Location Info

Kanai A Nalu is in South Maui, in Maalaea, right on the shore, actually only 15 steps from it. We are just a 2 minute walk from Sugar Beach, that runs for 4 miles all the way to Kihei. In summer, the beach runs in front of our complex. Take a morning walk along this beautiful beach. It's the longest beach on Maui, and very private as there are no resorts in this area. No building is allowed, as it's a wildlife refuge. In winter sea turtles lay their eggs along the shore. This a good beach for snorkeling, and seeing the turtles. But, please keep the required distance. Look at the photos I have of this lovely, soft sand beach.

About Owner

I grew up in Southern California. When I was a small child, we camped on the beach (in tents) and later in trailers. I loved the beach. As an adult, I visited the Hawaiian Islands. I decided I had to one day own a beach front condo. I searched for years for just the right property. In 2005 when this condo came on the market I begged, borrowed and talked my grown children into buying it with me. It didn't take much to convince them. All they had to do was watch a Virtual Tour and they were hooked. After the purchase, we spent more money remodeling and decorating. I keep the tropical feel of the condo because that was what we fell in love with. This is a wonderful, relaxing, and inspiring place!! I can sit on the lanai and have view...

Our Happy Place on Maui

"Kana'i A Nalu is our favorite place to stay in Maui. This ground level unit was fantastic. Having the extended lanai provided space for our family to eat all our meals outside watching the waves. Perfect location for watching the sunrise. Short walk to the beach. Our two teenagers had space for themselves and everything was provided in the unit that we needed for cooking meals and bringing any beach gear for our daily adventures.Diane was easy to communicate with Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2025 "

Wow, what an excellent review. I so appreciate it, and I'm so happy you had such a wonderful time at my condo. I'm also glad your teenagers had a good time. Teens can be hard to please sometimes.

Our days started with drinking coffee on the lanai, while watching the sun rise and listening to the surf. Sometimes we were lucky enough to see a whale or turtles swimming right in front of us! How magical! The condo had everything we needed from cookware to dinnerware to spices. The swimming pool and barbecue grills were an added bonus. The beds were comfy and the air conditioner worked great! I hope to come back again soon. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2025 "

Perfect for the family

"Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our group of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids- 4 and 16 mo) were able to fit easily. The condo has lots of amenities and toys for kids. We really enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the whales breach in the bay. The condo is located in quiet little village which gives it a much more relaxing vibe. Overall great stay. Thanks Diane! Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 "

The sound of the surf crashing was marvelous. Unfortunately the sand access to Sugar Beach has washed away. The condo is in a flight path to the airport but soon the sound of 5he jets fades. We enjoyed our time on Maui and being in the condo. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 "

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 3, 2024 Aloha Kathi, Thank you for the 5 star review. I'm glad I could give you an early check in. I hope you enjoyed celebrating your 80th Birthday on Maui, and enjoyed my gift of a local pineapple, and Hawaiian chocolates. I'm so happy you enjoyed all the amenities we've added to the condo. As stated in my online add, the beach directly out front has been rocky since 2022 due to a rise in sea level, which is shown in the photos on our website. Sugar beach starts in front of the property next door, which is just a couple of minutes walk(to the left). That beach is always sandy, as you can see in the photos on our website. I'm so sorry you missed it, as it's such a wonderful swimming beach. From time to time, they change the flight path over the island. Looks like it's over central Maui. I'm glad you said the sound faded. I hope you have many great memories and photos of your stay. Mahalo, Diane

"Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A Perfect Condo for Families Diane's place is the perfect condo for families! We enjoyed a week stay with our 1 year old infant and had everything we needed. The pool is easily accessible, the beach was 30 steps away (not crowded/ calm waves perfect for swimming and snorkeling), and the ocean was 5 steps from the lanai where we saw sea turtles every day. I appreciated the detail Diane has put into the kids items at the condo and besides finding the pack & play and high chair very useful, my daughter loved playing with the blocks and beach toys. The condo was clean and well stocked with everything for a perfect vacation. We will 100% be back- thank you Diane!! "

"Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Location, Location, Location!!! What a wonderful place...nothing better. I stepped outside the sliding glass door each morning with my cup of coffee in hand and was greeted by unobstructed, amazing water views. The sound of the waves reaching the shore lulled us to sleep each night and gently woke us up each morning...nothing better! We have stayed at quite a few VRBO's and this one is at the top of our list. We will definitely be back. Not to mention the host/owner of this condo in paradise is the best. She responded to a couple of questions I had in a timely manner. Her written details about her property and surrounding area was very much appreciated. We were even lucky enough to have seen a whale splash out in the distant and turtles each day swimming close to the shoreline. See more Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 "

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 10, 2024 Aloha of Kristeen, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and to give us five stars. I'm so happy that you and your four children enjoyed the condo, and got to use the new Roku smart TV's (in each room) the snorkeling gear, boogie boards, swim noodles, games, sand toys and more. I have seven grandchildren and have amenities for all ages. Hopefully guests can see in the photos taken in 2023, that I have replaced many pieces of furniture, but have not remodeled the unit. That is why my rates are much lower than any other direct ocean front units, even with our central air and a six guest lanai. I have so many guests and their children stay in the condo, that items don't look "new" for very long. But, we do work hard to make it a lovely "serviceable" condo. Besides the state-of-the-art digital washer/dryer, and other updated appliances, I just had a new dishwasher installed. You and your family are welcome back anytime. Mahalo, Diane

"Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Stress free Communication was amazing. Everything was communicated promptly and thoroughly throughout our stay. We opted for a this walkout ocean front rental instead of a resort and we would do it again. More privacy than any resort and the ability to stay right oceanfront when most resorts you are so far back you have to pack up just to get near it. We saw turtles multiple times a day right outside the unit. We saw whales almost everytime we looked out the window or sat outside. The ability to wake up at 6am make coffee and sit on the patio to watch the sun rise over Haleakala in our pajamas was priceless. See more Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 "
