This condo has what you come to Maui for. Twenty feet from the water. In our opinion we have the best Maui location on Maui(peaceful, central, uncrowded and non 'touristy' Maalaea), the best building in Maalaea - Kanai a Nalu (first one on the 4 mile beach) and about the best unit (401) in Kanai a Nalu (oceanfront corner - fantastic view from every window). Fall asleep to the gentle sound of the surf outside your bedroom window and wake to a beautiful Maui sunrise across the bay over magnificent 10,000 foot Haleakala. Eat breakfast on your lanai while you watch whales and surfers on the bay below you. Unobstructed views ( the best in Maalaea) from every window - even the kitchen looks to the West Maui Mountains. In the picture section the 2nd or 3rd picture there is a YouTube “video” walk through. Also some recent guests have a travel blog/Chanel that has a short YouTube video: look for Adventuresinmillerland - Maui 2 Bedroom Condo Tour.
Both bedrooms and the living room have fantastic views but also complete privacy (We never close the curtains). Kitchen is remodeled and fully equipped. Island style furniture throughout including a new Beauty-rest king size bed, very comfortable tropic style living room set , free wireless DSL, side by side fridge with filtered water/ice in door, Air Conditioning in living room, washer -dryer. Both bathrooms recently updated with new fixtures, tile, granite, and real stone vessel sinks. We just tore up the carpet and installed beautiful mango wood floor in living room and master bedroom. We added 50 inch flat screen ROKU UHD smart TVs in the living room and Master Bedroom. Beautiful new upholstery on living room furniture is too new to show up on video but we do have pictures. Living area has a relaxing tropical ambiance with much original artwork.
Maalaea and Kanai a Nalu: Maalaea is a small village that is the best of both worlds. We are far enough away from the traffic and 'shoulder to shoulder' tourist areas that you can truly relax and appreciate what Maui living is really about. Yet we are the most central spot on the island for easy access to all that Maui has to offer. Our Kanai-a-Nalu condo complex is a four-story, U-shaped building with a beautiful courtyard that is open to the ocean. It shelters a wonderful tile swimming pool on the ocean's edge. You may decide to walk down to Maalaea Harbor to take a whale watching, snorkeling, fishing, or sunset dinner cruise. The harbor area also boasts the newly constructed Maui Ocean Center, a world-class marine aquarium considered to be the best in the Islands. It also offers several fine ocean view restaurants, interesting shops, and places to buy fixings for a quick meal 'at home'.
Cleaning and Taxes:
Our cleaning costs have risen dramatically due to labor cost and extra Covid precautions. It has gone from $145 to $240. Covid has also affected taxes. The State of Hawaii lost quite a bit of revenue during Covid and no longer shares their state tax with Maui County so Maui has imposed its own 3% tax which bring the total tax to 17.25%. (Hawaii tourist tax 10.25%, Maui tourist tax 3%, “Excise” tax 4%) I don’t like it but we do need to collect it.
Due to storm wave activity our direct beach access was damaged and rebuilt but it was damaged again. You will see pictures of our beach out front before the storm damage. The beach was always there but depending on season and storms it grew ...

This is the beautiful quiet area. Watching the sea turtles was fantastic. Easy to get to and going to local food areas. The Maui Ocean Center is 5 minutes away and worth the trip.

A nice corner unit. Clean & has everything we need. Hopefully the besch front access & bulkheads/seawalls will be repaired soon. Great lanai for whale watching albeit at this time of year there aren't tons of humpbacks.

The condo is in a perfect location if you want to be in a quiet area (a rental car is recommended). The wind does pick up quite a bit in the afternoon, but the breeze keeps the condo at a fairly comfortable temp if you open the doors & windows. We had sand in our rental car and the proprry mgr loaned me a shopvac so I could clean it out (I've been told the car companies are very picky about sand). Overall a great place!

After several years of delaying our visit from Nova Scotia, Canada due to COVID we finally got to spend two weeks in paradise. Thank you Mike for being so patient and generous with us! We loved every part of our vacation. The condo is lovely and included everything we needed. It is beautifully decorated and the art work was a delight in itself. We loved the central location and travelled all over the island although it was difficult to leave the beach outside of the condo. We spent hours watching the waves, turtles and surfers. There are nice shops, the Ocean Centre and coffee options within a short walk. The weather for our stay was fabulous. We will definitely be back. Mahalo.

We really enjoyed our stay! The condo was beautifully decorated with modern updates. The view was amazing! I even saw whales from the balcony! Going to sleep with the sound of the waves was soothing! If we ever need another rental, we will definitely see if your place is available. We are considering moving here in 5 years or so. Thank you again!

Maalaea has always been my chosen spot on Maui, however, many of the properties now have no direct access to the beach due to erosion damage. That impacted our visit a lot. I’m hoping properties rebuild the steps soon. Otherwise, the views and general location can’t be beat.

This top corner condo is the best one in this complex and probably on the whole street! It was everything we wanted and more. Had plenty of space, well equipped, and the sound of waves crashing day and night to lull you asleep was amazing. This condo is on the windiest harbor in all the US (per Trilogy boat operator) but honestly the wind gave the condo a perfect breeze to cool it down and relax. The beds were comfortable and the complex was quiet. The views were great as we saw whales breaching and turtles in the water off the balcony. Sandy beach right down the way to float in the ocean was a huge plus. We cannot wait to book this place again!

I rented this place for a month, so that I could share the joy with friends. It exceeded expectations! The view from the porch was breath-taking, and the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night. (And for occasional naps.). The neighborhood was just right—not too many people and little to no traffic. The property manager went above and beyond! She collected our mail, and sent out a worker (also wonderful) the same day to fix something…It was rectified so efficiently, I cannot even remember the issue! I highly recommend this place!! Thank you for sharing!

This property is a great place!!! The location is perfect for seeing all parts of the island. We enjoyed sitting on the Lani watching the turtles and listening to the waves hit the wall below. We were able to walk from the complex directly to miles of beach. I highly recommend getting this place if you are going to Maui. Aloha
