Kanai A Nalu-Spectacular Whale Watching, Beachfront, Wifi & Split Air thru out
Short term rental approved by the state of Hawaii through at least 2030!
Beachfront paradise! Enjoy whale watching and beautiful sunsets from your lanai and Sugar Beach in front of Kanai A Nalu (gentle surf). Your 'home away from home' has all of the comforts you need to make your island vacation unforgettable! Centrally located, this condo is perfect for couples or families. It's a great place for people who like to snorkel, dive, fish and sail, or for those who like to keep their feet on land while enjoying a fabulous ocean view! Enjoy watching the boats sail into Maalaea Harbor and visit Maui's #1 tourist attraction, the Maui Ocean Center, as well as shops and restaurants at the end of the street!
Island life is complete with ceiling fans in both bedrooms, the living room and dining room and split air units in each bedroom and the living area! If you need to stay in touch with the outside world, hi speed internet/wifi is available at no additional charge and a work desk to be comfortable if needed.. Maple cabinets, Corian countertops, porcelain tile and wood floors enhance your vacation experience inside.
Being on top in our 4th floor, 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo only makes the view better! The condo has easy elevator access and air conditioning on days when the trade winds aren't enough to keep your comfort level perfect. Everything has been made available to you for your stay from kitchen utensils to luxurious oversized beach towels, hair dryer to coffee maker; bring only a need for relaxation and yourselves. The whales come back every year from December to April to put on their incredible show which can be seen while having breakfast on the lanai or directly in front of Kanai A Nalu. If you're up for more adventure, the Maalaea Harbor, just down the street, has daily boat tours to Molokini reef for snorkeling and scuba diving, or whale watching and sunset tours. World class golfing can be found all over Maui, some of the closest courses- Sandalwood, Waikapu, Lani and Elleair (Silversword) are within just a few minutes drive.
Centrally located on the island, only 10 minutes from the airport in Kahului and 15-20 minutes away from the tourist areas of Wailea and Kaanapali, Kanai A Nalu is world's apart in it's solitude. The condo complex is on a quiet dead end street that ends at a park and 700 acre Kealia Nature Preserve. The other end of the street boasts the Maui Ocean Center (Aquarium), shops and restaurants, all within easy walking distance. The beach stretches for miles to the east, in front of the nature preserve and its gentle surf is great for boogie boarding, snorkeling and beginning surfers. Due to the preserve, there is no development for the first several miles along this picturesque beach so many times, you'll be one of the few on it.
Whether you're looking for adventure or just want to get away from all the hustle and bustle, Maalaea is a great place to start! You can lounge by our heated pool or snorkel with the giant sea turtles. If you'd like to cook your own meals, you can do so in our full size kitchen, or use the gas or charcoal BBQ by the pool-but if you'd rather let someone else do the work, Maui has many wonderful restaurants.
Whatever your interests, make sure you save time for merely enjoying the sound of the surf and watching the waves, from the lanai or down on the beach and your time on Maui will have been well spent!

The picture is exactly as it shows. It is a nice quiet place to have coffee in the morning. We were able to walk down and watch the sun rise if we wanted a different angle. The entire experience was wonderful for our girl trip. I would most definitely stay again. There were 5 in our group and it was very spacious. They even were able to accommodate an early check in for us. Thank you to Lynnette for helping us to make wonderful memories. We stayed In September 2025.

Awesome view! A beach that is not crowded. Quiet and out of the way of crowds, but close enough to Chick-fil-A, and Krispy Kreme. Condo has everything you need to cook your own food, should you go grocery shopping. The Aquarium is close and a fun place to spend a few hours. Buy your tickets on line the day before to save #10.00 each.

As promised this was a fantastic view in Maui. We sat on the balcony that looks out over the beach and oven, and it was beautiful. Every morning and every night. I loved that there were 2 separate bedrooms, one have 2 beds so each of the kids got their own bed. They also had their own bathroom. Great condo for a great price with a fantastic view.

This is our second time. A few weeks back we brought family from the mainland to experience Maui. This one was my wife and I could relax. The condo is well stocked, except for salt. Bring it if you want. We left some the first time we stayed but it didn't make it. I was prepared though. We have taken road trips to check out other beaches. This one by far is the best we have found. It is out of the way and central to most everything. Like Krispy Kreme, my breakfast destination. We don't have on on the Bihg Island. It can be windy at times. If it is more than you can deal with, head towards the bottom of the island. Beaches are better and there is a lot less traffic. Pool is heated.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay right in the middle of Maui. The condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our week long stay. The beach is just a short walk from the unit. The owner and management were very responsive. The water heater went out on our second night and they had a plumber out the next day to install a new one! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Maui.

Great condo with wonderful location
The property was amazing and perfect for our vacation. We loved the location. It was so quiet and peaceful, allowing us to enjoy the beauty without the hustle and bustle of other properties. We were able to watch whales breaching from the patio and turtles right up in front of the property. It was close enough to everything but secluded enough to get away from the chaos. I would definitely recommend this property.

Peaceful, Central location
A very nice condo in a nice central location. If this is your first time visiting Maui, you can’t do better. You’ll be adjacent to the longest, undeveloped beach in West Maui, with waves calm enough for young ones but still interesting enough for teens. Kīhei, Lao Valley and Lāhainā are a short drive away, as is the airport and roads to Hana and Haleakala. The condo is well furnished and the host is excellent—quick to respond to questions and concerns, very much interested in your stay being pleasurable. Highly recommended.

Great Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Maui. The unit is on the 4th floor at the corner/end of the building. There are elevators and even a luggage cart! So handy!! We had amazing views of the pool and the ocean. There was an air conditioner in the living room, which was great, but despite having ceiling fans, the bedrooms were hot. There was an oscillating fan in the 2nd bedroom and we bought a box fan for the master. It solved the problem! There were chairs, an umbrella, boogie boards, and even snorkeling gear available to use! The chairs and umbrella came in so handy! The condo is right near the marina where many excursions leave from. It was nice to be close. We were able to explore all over Maui and we enjoyed being close to everything. The washer and dryer were quite useful, although a laundry basket might have helped sine the “laundry room” is in the kitchen. The refrigerator was big and kept everything cold. The only downside is that there’s no available pantry, so we lost a lot of counter space with our groceries. One of the best features was that there were PLENTY of USB ports for us to plug in our phones and the kids’ games. Overall, the stay was great and I highly recommend this place!!

Wonderful spot in Ma’alea
We enjoyed our week-long stay on Maui in this condo in Kana’i A Nalu. The hosts’ communication was excellent and check-in went super smoothly, with on-site parking and a unique door code for our stay providing good security. The suite has lots of space, was very clean, had a lanai that looked out on the ocean, and an adequate kitchen. The ensuite bathroom with shower was a great unique feature. The hosts provided beach chairs, a cooler, and boogie boards with fins—everything we needed for the beach. Ma’alea is a great place to be on the island in that it is close to everything, but quieter because it’s not in the thick of Kihei tourist town. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Property was clean, centrally located, and quiet. The people were friendly.
The property doesn’t have a beach or water access. You can walk down a couple of properties to access a beach, but it had people living on it and was awkward to hangout at. We were hoping to spend evenings at the property, but on a beach. The pool was open and a good option. The view from our room overlooked the pool and the ocean. It was nice.
Overall, I would recommend if you prefer to be centrally located more than you want the convenience of beach access.
