Kana'i A Nalu is a quiet resort that sits on the oceanfront away from the road on Ma'alaea Bay. This setting is wonderful for romantic sunset strolls.

Just a short walk down the quiet, tree-lined street from Kana'i A Nalu is Haycraft Park, which leads to miles of uninterrupted sand and surf all the way to Sugar Beach. If there is a big south swell, the wave off the harbor, "Freight Trains," can be one of the best in the world attracting expert surfers.

Well Appointed Condo & Beautiful View
Having been to Maui several times but largely stayed in the Kaanapali area, we weren’t sure what to expect staying more south. This location was ideally situated to drive in any direction, Kahalui, Kihei/Wailea or West. Check in and communication were smooth and the view was amazing. We lost track of how many whales and sea turtles we saw during our stay. The condo had lots of amenities and we were pleased to be able to use the fridge to fill our water bottles vs buying bottles to take with us on our daily travels.
The only minor complaint we would have is that the hot water didn’t quite stretch in the event our group of two adults and two younger kids needed to clean up around the same time after a day at the beach and before a dinner reservation.
Make sure to check out Hula Cookies at the harbour, as well as Point Break Pizza! Would stay here again for sure. The adjacent sugar beach was a great place for a serene walk in the mornings

Lovely view; tired furnishings
Quiet condo community. Plenty of space for 4. View is unbeatable. Daily frequent sightings of whales - incredible. The grounds are nicely maintained and it’s a quick walk to a lovely, uncrowded beach. Rental agency was supremely responsive. However, the unit condo itself is rather tired. The wooden furniture and kitchen cabinets are spotty and worn, in need of some love. Lighting fixtures need a good cleaning - grimy and buggy. Kitchen has the basics. Nothing horrific but for the price, the condo could use some love.

Right on the water!
Stayed here in order to help volunteer for the fire victims. Location was good and easy to get to Lahaina and north areas to volunteer. Also, a quick drive from the airport and only a 15-minute drive to Kihei where there are many shopping and eating options. Condo was clean and so close to the ocean that you can fall asleep to the waves (quick walk to a beachy area). Pool/beach towels available for use, and a full kitchen. We were on the 3rd floor and did not see an elevator, so keep that in mind while carrying heavy luggage and groceries. There was an a/c unit in the main room, but no a/c in bedrooms. We had every fan in the place going with all windows open and was still very hot. Overall, nice place to stay.

Very close to ocean
Simply being on the balcony here, we observed a sea turtle on the beach one day and watched whales on several days. There is very little foot traffic so it mostly feels like you and the ocean. Walking the beach at night shows off a sky dense with stars. Another treat is the park with wetlands just a short stroll down the beach.

Paradise in Maalaea
We have been going to Maui for many years. This was our second time at this property, which we find ideally located and well furnished. We particularly like to listen to the crashing surf outside of the bedroom window each evening, look for whales and dolphins off the coast, and experience the late afternoon sea breezes.

Nice for moderate expectations
The condo was renovated with new counters and new dishwasher. However, the art on the walls looked like it was from a garage sell and the carpet was stained and dirty. The master bedroom mattress has seen better days and the overall impression was underwhelming. However, with that said... it was adequate for our family of 4 and in a good location within walking distance to a small and quiet beach and a small general store. It was a good base for activities on both Kihei and Lahaina. Overall, it was a good value. Please note that the Ma’alea bay is the windiest spot on the island. Also, the traffic between it and the other towns can get backed up, so allow plenty of time for travel. Also, the condo does not have any soap or shampoo/conditioner - so remember to bring your own.

Great place, especially for families!!
Everything about this place is great. From booking to final check out, it was easy, well communicated, and no worries. We thought the condo was better than described, and the pics don't do it justice. Exceptionally clean everywhere. The kitchen was stocked much better than we thought, plenty of towels, and extra beach items for the kids. The only issue was a slow draining shower (1 hour to drain). Once we notified management, the repairman was there in about 30 minutes to fix it. We would absolutely stay here again. It's so close to the beach, the sound of the waves crashing is almost too loud! That's a good problem to have! The condo grounds were very well kept, the BBQ looked very clean, and the pool area was spotless.

Outstanding property in an excellent location
We were extremely pleased with our stay at Kanai A Nalu #302 January 3-10. The property is well furnished and comfortable.
We like it's location overlooking the sea so that we can hear the waves each night and walk along the beach in the direction of Kihei each day. We like to stay in Ma'alaea because it is centrally located on Maui, permitting relatively easy travel to other locations on the island.
We've visited Maui many times in the past 10-15 years but of all the places we've stayed we cannot imagine a better place to stay in Maui than this apartment in Kanai A Nalu.

No issues with check-in / out. Couldn't have gone more smoothly. Thanks!

Great, central, location "ON" the ocean!
I shared the Kanai a Nalu property with my husband, sister and mother. We had a fabulous time! The condo is extremely well equipped and had everything we needed. It was right on the ocean and the sound of the waves was so nice to hear. The property has very clean. The contact, Windy, while we were there was great, too. We had one maintenance issue and she resolved it immediately. The condo has air conditioning in the living room only, but luckily we only needed it for a few hours on a couple of days and there are fans in all the rooms. The location was great, too, as it was about halfway between Lahaina and Wailea. In fact, its walking distance from the Maui Ocean Center. Beach Bums Restaurant is near there and had great food, including one of the best meals we had while in Maui. We would definitely stay there again!
