Beach/Ocean Front & Corner Unit Luxury -Bliss -Turtle Watching!
Spoil Yourself in this one of a kind ocean/sandy beach front Corner Unit with a wraparound balcony hanging over the ocean at the front and what seems like a 'private' sandy swimming beach at the side.

A truly priceless location with extensive upgrades and Air Conditioning (a much needed rarity in West Maui Condos.)NON-SMOKING! We Rent Saturday-Saturday 7 night minimum. HI TAL # W30314040-02
All recently remodeled and heavily upgraded with beautiful granite counters in the kitchen and baths, feaux-stone tile floors, custom tile work in the showers, flat screen TV's in the living room and master bedroom. Living area is downstairs with 1/2 bath while upstairs the bedrooms each have their own full baths. Included is a well supplied kitchen, upgraded linens (including beach towels) (baths come with hair dryer). There are common gas bar-b-q's just down our steps. Covered outdoor area for shade. Nothing else like this in Maui. Wake up to an ocean view before even lifting your head off of the pillow. Views of Islands Molokai and Lanai from living room and master bedroom. Watch the turtles year round and the whales jumping in the winter right from the living room and balconies . The condo is very private as it is an end unit with neighbors only to one side.
This most incredible place to stay in Maui was our personal second home and we just put it back into rental. Everyone who stays here says 'Wow' When they walk through the door. There really is no place like this right on the water! What a Gem!

Fantastic stay in an absolutely beautiful and magical spot in Maui. First time visitors to the island and found this property to be everything it was advertised to be. When they say on the beach, it is really on top the beach. Would stay here again.
Beautiful condo, with the most amazing views! Condo itself was perfect size for our family of four and very clean.The pool was a hit with the kids, but unfortunately the swell was very high during our stay and limited swimming off the beach. Enjoyed discovering new beaches as this was our first time staying on this side of Maui.Kahana Sunset is a small complex, quiet and very well taken care of by staff!We did notice however that it was frequented by an older crowd and not as family friendly as we’d hoped. Did not put a damper on our trip tho!
Family visit for Anniversary. Enjoyed the property very much. Very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for a great time. The view from the deck was amazing!!. Lots of Sunsets, Turtle watching, and swimming in our very own bay. Lynn the owner was great and even hooked us up with a great dinner reservation for our Anniversary. Will definitely be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The proximity to the basically "private" beach is unmatched! It is such a unique property. Everything was just as described and we enjoyed the surrounding area restaurants and beaches. We loved every minute!
What a wonderful location. It was so nice watching the whales breach and turtles swim in the bay. Rooms were comfortable and it's a perfect setup for a family of four. Views are spectacular and the location is ideal for this side of the island.
This is the second time we have rented this unit and it’s terrific! It’s clean, comfortable and the views are to die for. It’s so nice to wake up and enjoy our coffee with turtles swimming below us and whales off in the distance. Such a relaxing week!
We had another wonderful trip to Kahana Sunset and our Hostess, Lynn, was nice and helpful. From the amazing view to the private beach and turtles, this property is exceptional. Everything was as advertised, but the pictures do not do the view justice...simply peaceful. -Steve
This is a very peaceful, quiet, serene location. Family + retiree friendly, this is the perfect scene to decompress and breathe. We watched Sea Turtles from the balcony every day, they swim in the bay at all times. Lynn (the owner) is friendly and responsive. All good!
This is our second stay in Lynn’s little piece of heaven. If you want beach, sea, sunsets and a place to relax and unwind, this is the spot. The turtles even come to you. I am past the activities stage and only left the condo few times to go to dinner. Private. Beautifully decorated. Well equipped. Just Perfect.

Everything as advertised
Everything was as advertised for this unit. I could not think of another unit that better ocean views. The waves coming ashore made for some wonderful sleeping. The unit has air conditioning but the cool breeze frm the ocean kept the unit quite comfortable. The best part of this experience was the owners who made sure that your needs were thought of in advance. Then they would follow up and double check to make sure they hadn't missed anything. Even the sea turtle directly below your balcony seemed to be asking to be your friends as well.. This was all topped of with a very private beach to enjoy.
Lovely view and the owner was very responsive to all questions and texts but we were disappointed that the owner waited until the day we arrived to communicate the fact that half of the deck was closed and would not be accessible to our family. If we are paying a premium price I would have appreciated that this was communicated prior to arrival. Additionally there were light fixtures with no light bulbs and the unit needed a little TLC/updates ro justify the cost.
Lynn was a delight to work with. She was very responsive. We were provided with pages of her favorite restaurants and descriptions of the food and estimated prices. Also included were many activities. It's a spectacular location and the only one on the complex that extends over the water. It's wrap-around balconies are so great. We watched turtles each day in our bay and could see pods of whales towards Molokai breaching and blowing spouts. The grounds have banana, papaya and guava trees and the produce is shared with renters when in season. Also lots of flowering tropical plants.
We never saw the beach as low as is pictured. Probably due to weather in other parts of the world. That didn't stop renters from swimming however. Being over the water I really enjoyed watching the waves come in and crash against the sea wall, sometimes even splashing up on the lower deck.
My husband and I are 80 and 88, though 'young' old folks. I don't remember any comments in the description that there are lots of stairs. From the parking lot to the unit, and from the unit to the pool and beach. It was good exercise for us.
The unit is in a great location on the island. It is a beautiful and restful condo. You will enjoy your time there.

Good location
We had a nice stay. Great location. The place had some definite problems. The Lanaii (balcony) in the living room is not what shows in the video. The whole corner of the balcony is blocked of because the deck is compromised. The patio area below the unit is blocked off with the inability to sit there and use the barbecues. There is erosion serious enough to prevent standing on the deck. The upper bathroom sink need ti be unstopped and the plunger repaired. The water refused to drain. The back bedroom shower had blond hair stuck in the walls. We had ti clean the showers. They were not properly cleaned. The shower flooring was slimy. The screen in the upper bedroom was torn. A handyman had to be called to tighten all the Rowell rack. One fell off the wall and hit my wifes foot. Given all that we still had a good time. The unit had excellent air conditioning and was comfortable enough. The views over the water were beautiful.

Great place to stay
Just home from a 10 day visit on Maui and was lucky enough to stay in this beautiful condo!! Was happy the minute we walked in. Loved the location...about 15 minutes from Lahaina so close enough to get to things we wanted to do. Loved the view from master bedroom. Loved going to bed every night to the sound of the ocean and waking up to it also. Had everything we needed in condo, even a few extras we were not expecting. Plenty of towels and beach towels and some things in refrigerator.....dressings, jams, etc. Even a cabinet of spices :) My husband loved grilling and meeting lots of friendly people at the grills. We also loved the privacy of the beach! Condo had air which was nice. Still a little warm for us upstairs but after a few days we were used to it. Some of the condos don't have air so we felt lucky ours did!! We also loved the deck but just a little surprised when we were sitting in the living room and people would be walking across it to look at things. Didn't know it was an "open" decking but realized it was when we saw the opening at each end of everyone's. Didn't happen a lot so nothing that was a problem. The owners were very nice and always answered any questions or concerns we had. We would HIGHLY recommend staying here!
A very special place. I would stay here again. The sunset and views are so amazing. Perfect and Clean, lovely property and location. Thank you

Disappointed and misleading photos
If you are considering choosing this condo because of the beach, beach access or the condition of the water - BEWARE - it MAY NOT be as depicted in the owner's photos. We chose this unit because of the beach, beach access and condition of the water only to find out when we arrived on Oct 6 that there wasn't a beach as depicted. We complained to the owner only to be told that she was "sorry Mother Nature showed up" when we arrived. We talked to locals and renters and they confirmed that the beach has been in a state of severe erosion for some time. The front row of condos in the photo on the beach have been deemed uninsurable and are scheduled for demolition. This did not happen on the day we arrived. We spent 8 days there and the conditions never improved. No one could even walk on the beach due to high surf/waves. We had no choice but to drive to a nearby beach since there was not one on the property or nearby. The unit itself is very nice, clean, fully appointed, comfortable beds, etc. But we didn't choose this unit to just sit by the pool or on the deck and listen to the pounding surf.
Also, the wrap around balcony is not accessible all the way around as shown in pictures. The corner of the balcony appeared to be structurally unsound and not just a simple repair that they are waiting on a repairman to fix. It is tastefully blocked off but is another example of the erosion and damage that the complex is experiencing Lynn was nice enough to give us a credit to use for a lovely dinner. But for the amount of money we spent to stay there it didn't take away the disappointment of our stay.
We feel that the photos on VRBO of the beach and beach access and water condition are very misleading and should be removed.
The views from this condo are stunning- both from the downstairs and the master bedroom. We enjoyed them for hours! The air conditioning was a welcome respite from the heat and so many careful details were attended to.
Working with Lynn was a delight, and she was very attentive and thoughtful. The condo is centrally located to Napili and Kapalua and parking was no issue. We would come back!
Excellent. It is truly oceanfront. The corner location gives one a panoramic view. The oceanfront patio was where I spent much of the time reading, napping, or just listening to the surf. The setting is quiet and peaceful, which was what I was seeking in this trip. The only downside, and it was relatively minor, was that there really isn’t any restaurant within easy walking distance. I believe the closest restaurants were at the Napili center, about 1/2 mile away. I would stay here again. Aloha.
Everything about our stay was perfect! The condo is beautiful and the views are amazing! We enjoyed spending time on the beach and watching the turtles. We can’t wait to go back! Thank you for everything!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Foster
Our family has been coming to Maui for over25 years but it wasn't until 19 years ago that we discovered this beautiful paradise at Kahana Sunset. We have two sons now 22 who have been coming with us since they were 3 yrs old. We all enjoy the water, snorkeling, and sunbathing with a book after a game of golf. We purchased this incredibly unique condo just 13 years go which was a dream come true for us with it's unbelievable beach & water location. There really is no place like this anywhere!! And that is what everyone says when they walk through the door. We now live in Maui(another dream come true) in a home near by and still say wow! when we stay at our condo.
Why they chose this property
Panaramic view of Molokai and Lanai and about 25 footsteps to the sandy beach. This 2-story unit ,with no one above or below you, location is ideal for those who seek serene paradise with an almost private beautiful beach. End-Corner Unit w/Privacy. Corner wraparound deck off Living room and also upstairs Master Bdrm als windows over the beach and the ocean . Snorkel and swim right out the door. There are Bar-B-Q's just down our steps and there is no better view for dining or watching turtles than your own private lanai. You will not want to leave! Great for couples or Families.
What makes this property unique
Unbelievable location and watching the beautiful sunsets and sea turtles / whales from our balcony/lanai...& the spectacular view of Molokai and Lanai from the Living room, kitchen while cooking & Master bedroom. Waking up to an incredible ocean view before you lift your head from the pillow and stargazing on the lanai off the master bedroom or just listening to the ocean below. Snorkel and swim just down the steps and golf in Kapalua is only a little over a mile away. Or rent a paddle board or kayak to use in your backyard. Also Just 1 mile north in Kapalua are some of the islands best restaurants ie. Merrimans, Cane and Canoe,Plantation House and Sansei for sushi. For more casual fare is the Honolua Store and the islands best breakfast at the Seahouse Restarant on Napili Beach at the Napili Kai Resort or the famous Gazebo. A grocery store is just 1/4 mile up the road in Napili Plaza with take out restaurants and our new Beach Bums Restaurant. Shopping available at Whalers Village in Kaanapali about 5 minutes away. You will want for nothing!
