About this property

Hurray...after three years, construction on the sea wall is complete with new landscaping, new steps to the ocean and beach. It looks beautiful. Also, because of COVID-19 we have updated our cleaning process to include complete sanitation of the condo including all touchable surfaces. This is in compliance with the new CDC regulations.

Aloha and Welcome to Paradise!

You are one step away from enjoying a relaxing Hawaiian vacation of a lifetime.
Let me know if you are new to Maui, I can help.

KAHANA REEF 420 (TOP FLOOR) is a Quiet, Friendly property in Desired C Building at Kahana Reef with DIRECT OCEANFRONT ( closest to the Beach and Ocean ), conveniently located between Lahaina and Kapalua on the West side of Maui.

Kahana Reef Unit 420 has it all:

 - New, Beautifully appointed accommodations
- “A” Rating
 - Right on the oceanfront with 180 degree unobstructed view
 - Very Private Top Floor
 - A great location on West Maui
 - Access to beautiful beach and reef
 - Walking distance to world famous Napili Bay
 - 2 Elevators

 - An affordable price.

Our condo is located away from crowds and high rise hotels in a unique private area of peace and tranquility. They also have extremely quiet interiors due to the thick concrete block construction that includes the extended block walls on the lanai for your added privacy.

What a difference it makes to stay right on the oceanfront! The surf gently splashing on the seawall, ocean breezes from the trade winds, captivated by the deep blue sea and the islands of Molokai and Lanai. Rainbows abound. Front row seat to every sunset…different and exciting.

Don't forget to look down from the lanai and watch for the sea turtles poking their cute heads above the water as they feed against the sea wall inside the reef. When in season whale watching between December and April is really exciting as you watch whales coming through the channel from the privacy of your own top floor balcony.

You have many options in Maui, but a vacation right on the oceanfront is like no other. The crashing of the waves with the Hawaiian trade winds is like no other relaxing experience.

Kahana Reef 420 is beautifully appointed in a tropical island theme. The décor has been upgraded, setting it apart from the typical Hawaiian condo:

 - Granite counter tops
 - Stainless appliances
 - New kitchen cabinets
 - New tile flooring
 - Beautiful new marble walk-in shower
 - Free Internet Service
 - 42' Flat screen TV
- very comfortable bed

The location on West Maui is ideal - nestled between the vacation mecca of Kaanapali and the luxury of Kapalua. The world-class beaches at Napili, Kapalua, and Honolua are a few minutes away and there are plenty of shops, restaurants and stores in walking distance. We are happy to provide details of our favorite experiences.

Will definitely be back

We had an amazing 8 day stay and will for sure stay here again. We had breakfast and dinners on the patio overlooking the ocean, when we ate in. All the pans and cooking utensils I needed was available plus more. Previous renters left good spices & coffee which was nice. There was a nice breeze in the bed room at night with the window open. There was cleaning supplies to use through the week with a vacuum and broom for the sand. We was nicely surprised how comfortable the king size bed was. What I thought could definitely use improvement is the property management, whom your supposed to call with questions. We had 3 occurrences and could not reach anyone. Every time we had to call the owner, he was amazing & got things taken care of quickly with no frustration. He was on it and apologetic. Thanks & we'll be back.

Great ocean views but...

We contacted the mgt company the night we arrived re the parking permit and got the answering svc. Mgt texted us the next day, but we called them back with further questions so they def had our contact info available. This is when we also learned that the condo had not been inspected prior to our arrival (this is policy) because there wasn’t time. We didn’t know there was a concern regarding the fridge-see previous review. We were never told a technician would be coming in. We came back to the unit to find a technician in the unit unattended. We contacted both the host and mgt company to relay our disconcerts of this unauthorized entry. The host stated he thought someone was coming in prior to our arrival and mgt stated they didn’t have our contact info. The host was also made aware of the lack of cleanliness; the coffee filter holder with grounds in it, the food in the garbage disposal, the need to clean the sink and disposal myself. The crumbs in the toaster, a broken kitchen drawer, a dirty pillow sham on the floor of the bedroom and the unit wasn’t inspected prior to our arrival. The host apologized and offered a 20% discount if we rented again but when I suggested a 20% refund for our troubles he declined. One phone conversation he stated he wished he was there instead of us. Great balcony views and beach access but the mgt company and host not so much. This review only allows so many characters so unable to provide full details of this experience

Perfect Condo

This condo was absolutely perfect. The view is unbeatable. The little beach is great for sitting and watching the sunset. The winds kept the condo cool throughout the day and night. 10/10 would recommend! Stocked with everything we needed for our stay and couldn’t be happier. Sad our next trip will include our kids and we won’t fit in this location.

Difficult Host

Property overall was fine. Great view. It became difficult because of the host. We came back from the beach one day and the refrigerator wasn’t working properly. The ice wasn’t freezing and there was a puddle of water on the top shelf of the fridge. We notified the host and he said that he had just had it serviced 2 weeks ago and proceeded to tell me to make sure the door was closed and said if was still a problem he would get someone out right away. I told him I would check back in later and let him know how it was going. The fridge seemed to sometimes work and sometimes not. It took 2 days to make ice, our food was perspiring in the fridge. I let the host know that we didn’t trust the fridge. Last thing we want is food poisoning. He said thanks for letting him know. We kept our milk and juice in the freezer and that worked. Never froze for 3 days! Sounds like a problem to me. He never sent anyone out, we had to eat out for our last 3 meals. I didn’t want to spend my vacation focused on the fridge so I just let it be. When we arrived home, I contacted the host about the process for reimbursement for our list food and loss of the use of the fridge. (Side note-we were delayed on our arrival because of weather and the host offered to extend our stay by a night. We said we wouldn’t be staying an extra night but would take him up on the offer for a late check out as our flight was in the evening.) Below is the host’s response to my question regarding any reimbursement The reason I have not responded sooner is that I was waiting for the response from the appliance technician. I just spent $96 to pay for the service provider to tell me that there was nothing wrong with the refrigerator. Possibly you would like to reimburse me for the service provider and for the extended checkout time that was graciously provided to you at no cost. Let me know. Best regards, A couple of things here: He said if I still had concerns he would send someone out. He didn’t. He knew we had a several meals in the fridge and took no steps to ease our minds in order to use the fridge. I would rather have had my food and saved another $300 eating out than have an extra 5 hours at the condo. The “extra” night had no financial loss to him and has absolutely nothing to do with the fridge I’m a reasonable person. I would have been ok if he just said that he didn’t find anything wrong with the fridge it didn’t warrant a reimbursement. But this response?

About the host

Hosted by Gene

We are a retired couple, married for 50 years, two boys and 3 grandchildren. We have enjoyed Maui for over 25 years and enjoying sharing our condo with guest from all over the world.

Why they chose this property

We searched for almost 9 months to find the perfect spot on Maui. This condo is constructed of all concrete including floors, walls and ceiling, very quiet. When we purchased it had been remodeled. We remodeled it again to our specifications and it is absolutely beautiful. It is located about 25 feet from the ocean with an incredible 180 degree view of the ocean and outer islands. The condo faces west with beautiful sunsets every night, any time of year. During whale season you can see the whales breach. The condo is also centrally located on the west side of Maui, secluded and quiet yet close enough to restaurants, hotels, shopping and Old Town Lahaina.
