WILDFIRE UPDATE: Our condo is located in south Maui, in the village of Maalaea. West Maui is currently closed off due to recent wildfires, but other parts of the island are still open. Our property and the surrounding area are safe. Local officials including Maui's mayor and police chief have reiterated that Maui is not closed - only west Maui. They also emphasized how the majority of Maui's residents rely on tourism dollars, and they simply asked that visitors are respectful and don't attempt to visit the affected areas.
Crew Rest Maui is a hidden gem at the north end of Ma'alaea Bay in South Maui. Our privately owned two bedroom, two bathroom beachfront 'home away from home' is a corner unit on the second floor of a four-story building directly at the water's edge. Our private lanai is directly oceanfront and looks across to neighboring Islands, the world-famous Molokini crater, and 10,000 foot Haleakala. It provides the perfect place to relax, watch the waves, and even see humpback whales during whale season.
There are HUGE benefits to a corner unit on the second floor, and it's important to understand why the location of the unit in the complex makes such a huge difference.
Corner units offer: the added security of not being at ground level, the privacy of having bedroom windows looking out on the beautiful courtyard, pool and ocean instead of sidewalk and parking lot and the absence of foot traffic past your private lanai. (Before booking in Kanai a Nalu, understand that the guest bedrooms of non-corner units look out onto the parking lot. Our guest bedroom has a FULL view of the ocean and pool area.)
The master bedroom has a comfortable California King-size bed with a private bathroom and wall-to-wall windows with panoramic views of the beach, gardens, and pool/BBQ area. A second full bathroom with shower/tub combo is across a small alcove from the second bedroom, which has a queen bed. (Our condo sleeps a maximum of 4 adults, or 5 guests total for families with children.)
We have gone above and beyond to provide you the little touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible and make Crew Rest Maui feel like your home away from home. You'll enjoy updated decor, ceiling fans throughout, and A/C in every single room. There are plenty of plush beach towels, some dish/laundry soap to get you started, beach toys and boogie boards, liquid hand soap in the bathrooms, velvet non-slip hangers, Keurig coffee maker, keyless entry keypad, secure WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen with everything you'll need. The living room features a smart, flat screen, wall-mounted TV with cable. Both bedrooms feature wall-mounted smart TVs with cable access as well as the ability to login to your favorite streaming service.
The private lanai is one of the best features of our unit. Again, it is DIRECTLY on the water, and not all units in the complex have such an amazing location and views. The lanai is a perfect place for reading, eating, whale watching or just plain relaxing to the sound of the gentle surf. You'll enjoy watching sea turtles (and whales during whale season) directly offshore from the lanai.
Just down the street from the condo, you'll find the core of Maalaea and the harbor area. This adorable seaside village offers a wide variety of activities such as snorkeling excursions and sunset cruises, shopping, delicious dining options, mini golf, an aquarium, and the ...

Crew Rest was so comfortable with beautiful views of Haleakalā and Molokini! The location is perfect, near all attractions. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles every day and even spotted a few whales even though it is a month after whale season. There is a park with a beach within a two minute walk and the Maalaea Aquarium and harbor are within a five minute walk. We spent so much time enjoying meals on the patio, we watched an amazing storm from there. The condo is well stocked, with all small appliances, dishes, glasses, silverware, cutlery, pots & pans, bakeware, food storage, paper towels; blow dryers, toiletries, bedding, towels, etc. It felt like home, but better since it’s Hawaii! There was even a nice little welcome basket. The grounds are well maintained and quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend!

Beautiful spot looking out over the ocean. Had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Sea turtles were right out front playing in the waves everyday. The location was quite central for the driving tours we did on the island. We were able to get a good sleep everynight as the beds were comfortable and the ceiling fan or a/c kept the room at a good temperature. Great place !

The location was perfect. Its some of the best weather you usually avoid rain. Watched Whales, and Turtles from the Lanai. Haycraft Park is a gem on the end of a long beach. Snorkeled with Turtles and saw many fish.

Condo was right on the water between the marina and the beaches at Kihei. Great view and nice breeze. The condo had air conditioning but we didn’t need it. If we return to Maui in the future we will definitely try to stay in this condo again. Oh I forgot to mention whale activity can be spotted anytime in daylight hours. Great experience.

Perfect location for the close beach access, sunrise off balcony over the ocean with mountain view. We were also fortunate to see whales and turtles swimming near by. Less busy area, but 4 miles from Kihea. Would come here again.

Perfect place. Quiet neighborhood. Beach within walking distance. Fully equipped with everything you need for the beach. Loved the fact that beach chairs and boogie boards were there. Rooms were super. Right on the ocean. Kids loved the pool. Washer and dryer right in the condo was great to have. Also, private parking was also a plus.

Crew Rest Maui was a great location. The 2 bedroom/2 bath unit worked well for our family. The lanai was enjoyed morning, noon, and night. Listening to the waves of the Pacific crashing on shore, and seeing whales surfacing was a treat. We had a good time.

I loved this condo! I could hear the waves crashing all night from the master bedroom. Iys a great central location for those who want to visit all of the island by car. I wouldn’t recommend staying here if u like to walk everywhere bc there’s not a whole lot walking distance but I loved the location & the condo. Stephanie was easy to get a hold of when I had a question. We truly loved staying here & plan to again!

Wh enjoyed our stay and would return to this init specifically. The condo was well furnished with extra amenities like enough coffee pods to get started, condiments in the fridge and spices in the cupboard. The owner was at the unit just before us and bought a bottle of organic EVOO!

Thank you for being wonderfully hospitable hosts with prompt communication, fully stocked beach gear, and offering many local recommendations to make our stay in Maui so delightful. They even left a thoughtful welcome gift! The location of the accommodation is in close proximity to the beach and in a quiet, less-commercialized area. Crew Rest was a haven in the midst of the wildfires. Our prayers and hearts go out to the amazing people here pressing on and rebuilding from the devastation. We will definitely try to stay here again in the future when we return to Maui!
