GORGEOUS OCEANFRONT GROUND FLOOR UNIT—PARADISE FOUND

Non-Smoking Deluxe Unit - Sleeps 4 adults

TRAVEL TO HAWAII - Beginning March 26, 2022, there will be no COVID-related requirements for arriving domestic passengers. Travelers arriving in Hawaii directly from international airports must still comply with U.S. federal requirements; consult with your airline.
IN FLIGHT AND ARRIVAL:
1. TSA’s mask mandate has been extended through April 18, 2022 and requires that masks be worn in airports and on airplanes.
2. Hawaii’s indoor mask mandate ended on March 25, 2022. Masks are still strongly recommended for people over age 65, those with compromised immune systems or who care for people at risk of severe illness, and those unvaccinated for COVID-19.
3. Some businesses may still require or encourage the wearing of masks.

Located on Maalaea Bay, Kanai A Nalu is called “Maui’s best kept secret.” Quiet, romantic and tropical, it’s located at the north end of Maalaea Bay in South Maui. A spectacular setting for your Hawaiian vacation. Enjoy this luxurious, well-appointed oceanview condo that is one of only four ground floor units directly facing the ocean. Full of modern conveniences and tastefully decorated this deluxe, remodeled condo is waiting for you. Enjoy the wonderful views of beautiful landscape and the ocean breezes from the lanai. Smell the gardenias growing right outside your door! Relax at the beautiful oceanfront pool, swim or snorkel in the ocean or stroll or take a 4-mile leisurely walk to Kihei on the beach, which is just steps away. Greet each morning with spectacular views of Maalaea Bay, Molokini Crater, the island of Lanai and the 10,000-foot Haleakala volcano. Enjoy the sparkling lights of Kihei at night and the incredible moon as it turns the ocean silver with it’s soft moonlight. You can listen to the ocean waves as you sip your morning coffee or evening beverage out on the lanai or let the rhythmic sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep at night. It won’t take long to feel deeply relaxed in Paradise with not a care in the world.

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.

This condo is conveniently located within walking distances to beach parks, restaurants, shopping and fabulous boating and yachting at the Maalaea Harbor.
A 5 minute walk from the condo 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).

This bright and beautiful condo has 2 bedrooms both with private en-suite bathrooms. This is a non-smoking unit designed for 4 adults. The master bedroom is a King and the guest room is 2 Twins. The kitchen is well-equipped for those wishing to cook or you can use the BBQs by the pool which is there for your convenience. There is a large flat screen tv in the living room with a DVD player and flat screen tvs in both bedrooms. For those of you with laptops, you can enjoy a beautiful desk and complimentary wi-fi. In the desk cabinets you will find a great selection of books to read and DVDs to watch. When you are ready for the beach, you’ll find beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, beach mats and noodles to use.

Ready to experience this Paradise? You won’t want to leave. As Mark Twin said “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.”

HI 2025

This is the second time we stayed in this unit. We love it. The kitchen is well stocked. The view is great. The pool is warm and the area around it is comfortable. The bar-b-q grills are well stocked and easy to use, and it was fun to have gatherings with friends at the tables near them. We highly recommend this unit.

Comfortable digs next to great beach

We found this condo very comfortable. All of the furnishings were good quality and the kitchen was fully equipped. Owner was very responsive to a couple of small items that needed to be replaced. The photos are accurate. It has a beautiful view over the gardens onto the ocean. We loved the beach next-door for swimming and snorkelling and long morning walks. There are a few people living permanently in tents on the beach, but everybody seemed very respectful of each other, and there is plenty of room to find your own space to relax.The only thing we didn’t love was the amount of airplane traffic overhead. It is constant throughout the night and day, even into the wee hours. Seems to be under the direct flight path to the airport. Not sure if this is true everywhere on Maui as it is a small island. The lanai is small, but adequate for two people. Met some very nice neighbours and other visitors at the communal barbeque area, where we picked up good tips.

Great spot for family stay!

The condo was accurately described. Clean and comfortable. The outdoor pool was very cold, and unfortunately the beach is eroded in front of the property. However, there is a nice public beach just a short walk away. We enjoyed our time and would definitely stay again!

A little peace, a little adventure!

We loved our time in Maui and this rental was perfect! First floor, park right outside the front door and walk right out the back door to the pool, ocean and incredible views. Centrally located on the island so it was easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. The condo has everything you could need, so travel light and worry free! Stephanie was great to work with, and the condo was better than advertised! We would definitely stay here again!

Great location!

We enjoyed our 30-day stay in this condo. It was very comfortable and well-stocked with everything we needed. Like home away from home. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing and suited our lifestyle. Loved watching the whales from our lanai. Very short walk to the beach. It was also a good base for all of our sightseeing – an easy drive to any location on the island. Could have stayed forever …

Perfect location for all your adventures!

Gorgeous oceanfront was located in the southern middle part of the island. We were walking distance from the docks which was perfect for our snorkeling and whale watching tour days. Only 20 mins from larger towns for dinner, shopping and beach time. My husband and I spend mornings walking the quiet beach just outside the condo. The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. Thank you Stephanie!

Very nice ground floor unit with larger 2nd bedroom with en suite!

We have stayed at Kanai a Nalu in various condos over the past 30 years and this was one of the nicest we have stayed in. Ground floor makes it easy to get groceries in through the front door, and food to the grill out the back door. The 2nd bedroom had a unique setup for these condos that we have not come across before (every condo at Kanai a Nalu has the same basic floor plan unless modifications are made), a wall has been moved, making the bedroom larger, and a slider door to the main living area creates an en suite as needed. The condo is nicely decorated and very clean and provides most everything you need to enjoy your stay. Stephanie was very responsive when we had any questions. We had a great time and we highly recommend it.

Loved our stay...

Loved this location. Have often stayed north, above Lahaina in the past, but enjoyed being in the Maalea area just a quick walk away from quiet, sunny beaches. As others have said, the condo is very clean...the grounds are well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked and loved having a washer/dryer in our unit. The owner was always very helpful and responsive. We would certainly stay here again.

Why they chose this property

My family has been coming to Maui over 30 years. Most of that time has been spent here at Kanai a Nalu on beautiful Maalaea Bay. This is such a special place. In fact, it’s referred to as “Maui’s Best Kept Secret.” The grounds are beautiful, the people are friendly and the ocean and beach are right outside your door. We always preferred to stay in ground floor units when we visited because they were more accessible to everything and made our stay much easier. No hauling food and luggage up in elevators. We just drove up to our front door and walked in! When I discovered this unit in 2012, I was excited! Ground floor units usually didn’t become available that often and this one was special. It directly faces the ocean, is beautiful and has a wonderful view. My family loves Maui and we love this place. We wouldn’t want to be anywhere else and neither will you once you discover it. I hope this completely remodeled unit brings you as much pleasure, relaxation and happiness as it has brought me and my family.
