Aloha,

For many visitors to Maui the idea of staying in a private tropical beachfront estate appears impossible or just an idyllic scene of yesteryear. But a stay at the Kahana Nui Villa will make this dream come true.

As you enter through your own automatic wood gate, you'll find yourself immediately greeted in the courtyard with a towering Monkeypod tree surrounded with lush tropical gardens. Many people  immediately wander around the house first and are astonished to discover Kahana Nui is carefully nestled steps away from Maui's incredible marine sanctuary. It is not unusual to spot spinner or bottlenose dolphins playing, or humpback whales breaching just off shore. Sometimes you'll find giant green sea turtles (honu) or even endangered monk seals sunning themselves on the sand. Early risers, may wake to enjoy a stunning sunrise and discover local fisherman casting their traditional nets or spear diving for octopus (tako) in the shore break.      

Looking toward the ocean the views from the front of Kahana Nui stretch from the south shore of the island of Lana'i to Mokuniki just off shore of the north east edge of Moloka'i. These views are not just from the tranquil yard, but even from two stories of glass lined lanais not to mention from the comfort of the king size beds in four of the oceanfront master suites facing west inside the home.

The house itself is centered in the middle of the estate on large poles rising up towards the clouds. As you ascend the stairs and enter you are surrounded with unique architecture adorned in grand details commissioned by Indonesian artisans. Referred to by the locals as "The Bali House", Kahana Nui is a six bedroom, four and a half bath luxury oceanfront home on the beach in Kahana conveniently positioned between historical Lahaina Town and the exclusive resort area of Kapalua on the west shore of Maui.  The open-air and open-floor house was specifically designed to take advantage of the gentle trade wind breezes. The front of the house features a massive retractable floor-to-ceiling glass wall that easily slides away to create a refined indoor/outdoor oceanfront living and dining experience. On the rare occasions when the tradewinds ebb, each bedroom is equipped with their own individual air conditioning units.

For beach lovers, there is "no place like home" when you stay at Kahana Nui. Mere steps across the pillowy soft lawn you have your own escape to swim, snorkel, stand up paddle all directly in front of the home. However, if you like adventure some of the world's most renowned beaches are just minutes away - Kaanapali Beach to the south and Napili Bay to the north. However, most guests find themselves mostly swimming in the freshwater Honu pool, sunbathing poolside listening to the waterfall, or relaxing in the large hot tub sipping a Mai Tai.

Love golf?  Simply take a left out of the gate and idle north on Lower Honoapiillani Road (known around here as "sLower road.) where just minutes away are both the technically challenging PGA Plantation Course and it's more approachable sister The Kapalua Bay Course.

FANTASTIC KAHANA BEACHFRONT!
I cannot say enough about our stay, the house, and Suzy. From the minute you walk thru the front door and see the fabulous ocean view thru the accordion slider, you are hooked! The Polynesian feel is magical. We had 12 in our party of family and friends that included teens, twenty somethings and adults. The space accommodated all of us with plenty of space for group gatherings…and also privacy if desired. The yard/pool/hottub was in use every night during the sunsets. Yes, these are the famous Maui sunsets! The deck and yard were also perfect for whale watching and spotting turtles right in front of the house! Suzy was a wonderful communicator, quick to respond to all requests/inquires and proactive with something she felt wasn’t quite right with the house (turned out completely fine but she went above and beyond to make sure). The pool was cleaned twice while we were there with the service coming early and so quietly that we didn’t even know they were there. The house itself was well stocked, clean with the most comfortable beds. We cooked in most nights…..we just didn’t want to leave. We will definitely work hard to come back to this special place!!

Even better than promised!
Wow.... this house is everything promised and more.... such a wonderful location, amazing views and a lovely hot tub and pool... and then the balconies! Breakfast, lunch and dinner every night admiring the whales and views... the house has the perfect amount of separation and togetherness.... everyone was so happy with their bedroom! And the large TV was also great for a group.... and the person cooking in the kitchen was still part of the group! And the inside table was big enough as well! Really, a special house. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Kahana Stay
This is a great location. I was worried about the pool being too small. We were 16 - 10 kids and 6 adults. The pool size was just fine and accommodated us well. The hot tub was hot and there wasn’t a fuss about temp or what to pay extra to heat it. That was refreshing considering other experiences. The beach is great. I’ve seen other comments that the beach was too rocky to utilize. We have stayed next door for 30 years and knew the beach environment. This beach is a little rocky but it is practically private for your use. The water is just the right depth and the reef is about 100 yards out. This creates a great sanctuary of space with rolling waves to enjoy. Get some swim shoes and you will be well prepared. The house is nice and accommodated all 16 of us nicely. My only negative is some simple updating would be nice for the price point. Bathrooms are getting dated, better blinds would be nice, but I am nitpicking at this point. There is no A/C in the main living spaces but all bedrooms have sufficient A/Cs. Open the windows and the lack of main room A/C is not an issue. We had 1 TV that did not function and it was replaced the next morning. It deserves the 5 stars it receives. The view is extraordinary, space is clean, and accommodations are comfortable. We will be back.

Perfect place for our large family
We were in Maui to do a celebration of life. This was the perfect home for our family of 14 with a wide age range. The host answered all our questions quickly. Everyone loved waking up and having coffee overlooking the ocean and falling asleep to the waves crashing. We used the pool and spa every day and it was fun to play ping pong too. It was a very memorable trip and we created lots of wonderful memories.

Family vacation
This property is terrific. We were amazed by the views and how well equipped it was. The location is great for almost any activity, but truthfully, we spent most of our time enjoying the house and grounds. All meals were eaten on the massive lanai, surrounded by an ever-changing seascape. We especially appreciated the vast library of books and puzzles. The wide variety of beach and water equipment was also a hit with everyone. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in returning to kahana Nui Villa.

Great House
The house was great, however the beach in front is not swimmable. We were disappointed because we were told it was, you have to walk around the other side to a community in order to swim in the ocean. Otherwise, the house itself and communication/booking experience was great.

Beautiful stay for our big group!
Our family/friend group of 12 absolutely loved our stay. It isn't easy to find a home that can accommodate all of us! The house has a ton of character & we loved the woodwork/custom features and spent most of our time out on the lanai or by the pool downstairs. It was very clean and hearing the ocean every night was amazing! Great memories made here. We did find that some things needed to be fixed/replaced. Broken chairs, umbrellas, window screens and shade screens on the deck etc. We would definitely stay again but hope some care goes into the house to match the price.

Can’t imagine a better place to stay! We had 14 family members with ages ranging from grandparents to 7 months old. Everyone enjoyed their own rooms/suites and also loved the common areas to spend time together, both inside and outside the house. The pool was a blast and the beach access was great! We’re already planning a return trip!

Over all the house and location was amazing. Everything you needed grill, hot tub, pool, beach the views are amazing. Of course the one down fall is the bridge construction, I know owner has no control but it was the only thing that was inconvenient on the trip.

I cannot thank Suzy enough for such an amazing place! We had a blast all things considered with the fires in Maui in early August 2023. Even without internet, power and cell phone service, we had a great time enjoying the pool, beach access and seeing turtles from the lanai. We would not hesitate to return to this fantastic place when we return to Maui! Mahalo Suzy!

The positioning and view from the property out over the water is breath taking.. The home is expansive and had almost all amenities we could think of available to us. The beach being right there was amazing. We were lucky enough to even see a few sea turtles come ashore for a while during our stay. The pool and hot water tub and ping pong tables were very popular amoungst the group. Overall we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others as well.

Suzi was very responsive to all requests/questions an the house was perfectly located and fully stocked. Pool, hot tub and ocean views were the highlights.

Gorgeous amazing house right on the water
Our extended family of nine people loved this beautiful house, directly on the edge of the water. We spent countless hours on the large deck, whale watching and spotting occasional sea turtles. February is perfect for whale sightings. The four master bedrooms are large and very comfortable. We kept the sliding glass doors pulled back so the great room extended directly onto the wonderful deck. We spent time in the heated hot tub, and the kids dipped in the lovely pool, which is not heated. We loved this well appointed house and highly recommend it. The check in and check out is a breeze with Suzy.

Wonderful Stay at Kahana Nui Villa
Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at the Kahana Nui Villa with our sons, their spouses and our grandchildren. With over a year worth of trip planning, everyone was wowed with this extraordinary South Pacific oceanfront home that has spectacular views of the ocean and Molokai and served as our base to explore and enjoy the Island of Maui. We could not be more pleased with our stay, as we had everything we needed to prepare meals, enjoy the great pool and use of its other facilities that helped keep the grandchildren engaged. If you have a large group, this is a place we would highly recommend.

Gorgeous house and beautiful location
I came with a group of 11 graduate school friends now in their 60’s and this very special house and place was almost perfect! The home is gorgeous, having a pool and access to the beach was wonderful! I said almost because one of the king rooms was not accessible except by walking through another bedroom. This did not work well for the couples in those two rooms. It would work fine for a family. However, this small detail would not prevent us from returning!

Gorgeous Location!
Our family of 7 gathered here for 2 weeks from Ohio and Australia. What a beautiful setting! The house was nicely appointed. The pool was perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun. The location was close to beaches, restaurants, and activities. We spent many mornings hunting for sea glass on the beach right outside our door. Suzy was responsive to most of the house issues, which were minimal. The security safe was unavailable to us, but didn't pose a problem. Also, the hot tub by the pool does not have working jets for those who love the bubbles. However, the kitchen was stocked with all of the appliances and utensils needed for daily cooking. A lovely fresh floral arrangement greeted us upon arrival. The house itself is showing a bit of age, which doesn't show in the photos. We didn't let this dampen our delight in spending time together in Kahana Nui Villa. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Suzy Moffett

Host profile image
Aloha! My Name is Suzy Moffett and I have enjoyed all the wonders Maui has to offer to those of us lucky enough to live here: surfing, fishing, hiking, fantastic dining, unreal sunsets. My family and I have our home on Maui and run Kahana Nui Villa as an extension of our family home. Our guests become part of our extended Ohana.

Why they chose this property

When we built Kahana Nui, we dreamed of creating a unique home that would complement the beauty of this idyllic location. Our plans were to build a 'pole house', but we did not want it to have the appearance of a “house on poles”. A concept was developed for a ground level Lanai adapting the openness of the Bali style homes. By having beautiful, carved screens integrated into the supporting structure, a “Balinese Lanai” could be added to enhance the home. Trips were made to Bali and Java. The skill of the carvers and uniqueness of many items expanded the concept. The carved screens were used throughout the house. The furnishings were combined with decorations to capture the Bali Style. Many ideas were suggested and different approaches tried until the house evolved as you now see it.

What makes this property unique

Pure luxury In Paradise! Ocean breezes keep the climate temperate year round. From your choice of the upper or lower decks, you will enjoy spectacular views of the Islands of Lanai and Molokai. Magnificent sunsets are a daily pleasure. Located Only a few miles north of Lahaina and Kaanapali, in Kahana, Maui, the home sits on its own private little piece of oceanfront paradise. This location is ideal for shopping and dining out and is conveniently located just minutes from the West Maui airport and the world class Kapalua golf courses, as well as surf spots and unreal hikes.
