Never have you stayed in a condo such as this. There is a wall of glass so you have a panoramic view of the ocean and beyond!Maui has been consistently ranked as the 'Best-Hawaiian Island' and '#1 Island Destination' by the readers of Travel & Leisure or Conde Nast for over a decade. Centrally located off-the-beaten-path retreat. Just ten yards from the water and with sweeping multi-island views across Maalaea Bay from both bedrooms and the front room balcony, our third floor piece of paradise offers the relaxed, yet elegant, quiet side of island life. The warm, caressing Trade Winds make West Maui's low humidity weather unfailingly sunny, warm and comforting. Picture yourself dining on your balcony gazing at the near by Molokini Crescent rising out of the blue Pacific and noticing a pod of Humpback whales; or scanning near shore for turtles as they rise for an early morning snack; or walking along a warm ocean and suspending time simply to listen as the waves toss laughter into the air; or lounging together on a sandy beach or around a spacious pool overlooking a blue tropical ocean; or hearing the surf as you fall asleep and waking to it. The simplicity of this genial, peaceful and romantic setting brings people back to our home-away-from-home year after year. Your vacation home is located on the western side of Maalaea Bay, the quiet side, across the bay from the tourist-dense Kihei area; just 20 minutes from Kahului Airport.

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 or shrank. At this time the beach starts not right out front but at the end of our property. We still access the beach from our oceanfront lawn but now enter at the far end to the left as you face the ocean. You do need to step over a short (about 2 foot) “fence” and down onto the beach. See the pictures of beach access on this site. We are working on a more permanent solution but not sure when that will happen. The beach has good swimming, is about 4 miles long and backs to the wildlife preserve so there is nothing but you and the ocean.Author Recommendation and Guest Book: We knew we liked the Maalaea area and our condo (Kanai-a-Nalu) in particular. This is what the authors of PARADISE FAMILY GUIDE TO MAUI have to say: 'Have you wondered where the authors of this guide stay? If we aren't moving around the island, sampling different properties, you'll find us catching our breath here (Kanai-a-Nalu), and enjoying the sunny shores and gentle breezes of Maalaea.'Below are coments from our Gueast book in the condo.
