Kahana Village Reviews

Kahana Village is in a great location. Close to Lahaina. Close to many of the excursions. On the days when you just want to stay back and relax you’ll feel like you have your own pool and beach. Walking distance for groceries and restaurants. You simply can’t beat it!!

I can't say enough nice things about Kahana Village. They were able to accomodate us with a last minute booking for starters. The condo was very clean and modern. The office staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. Excellent value overall for the price point.

We were a large group and rented two condos, one downstairs and one upstairs. We had an amazing view right out to the beach with Molokai on the horizon. Lovely private beach! Very comfortable accommodations and they have beach chairs/umbrellas/etc that you can use. So nice to fall asleep listen... read more to the waves and the surf. Also very close to a bus stop that takes you right into Lahaina. Fully equipped kitchen is great. And the awesome free mai tai party on Wednesday night complete with Hawaiian singer and fun prizes! Really nice and friendly staff. Great place to come back to after a day of sightseeing to chill on the porch with friends. I’d totally stay there again!! read less

We had an excellent time at Kahana Village. The condo was clean with gorgeous views, the pool and beach wonderful, the staff helpful and friendly, we will definitely be back. Great location to get to Napili Pt, Kaanapali or Lahaina. We loved it!

The grounds are well cared for and the condo managers were extremely helpful in receiving our grocery delivery in our absence and having our keys and “welcome” info available for us since we arrived after regular office hours. They provide a little coffee, bottled water, and shampoo, soap, etc... read more so you don’t have to run to a store immediately. We stayed in Unit 34. It was beautifully decorated, well appointed and clean and spacious. The unit had all the beach necessities, such as beach towels, chairs and a cooler. There’s a small sandy beach on the property with easy water access, not something all ocean front condos offer in Maui. We saw a sea turtle crawl on to the beach, but some guest got a little too close and the turtle quickly returned to the water. We also loved having a washer/dryer in the condo and plenty of bath towels. Lahaina Village is only about a 12-15 minute drive to Front Street for shopping and restaurants. A few downsides with the unit included some tiny ants primarily in the kitchen (they invaded our boxed bakery goods on the counter) but also a few were spotted in the downstairs bedroom and both bathrooms. We also saw the little pests in an art gallery and restaurant bathroom, so they may just be an annoyance this time of year on Maui. Needless to say, we kept all food in the refrigerator once we...

Also, the 3 A/C units in the condo are set to go no lower than 75 degrees, and it’s very humid. All in all, Lahaina Village is a very good place to stay at in Lahaina and I would definitely book with them again. More read less

Our favorite place on Maui, relaxing, beautiful beach and pool right at hand. Wonderful staff and sunsets. Rooms are spacious well stocked and cleaned meticulously. We have been lucky enough to stay in both 2 and 3 bedroom units, each time leaving thinking--this might be our favorite!... read more Couldn't recommend it more highly. read less

We stayed in #19 (3BR) for 8 days in May and had a wonderful time. The unit had plenty of space, was very nicely furnished, and the kitchen was updated and very well equipped. The lanai was large and relaxing with perfect view of Lanai and Molokai. ... read more We would definitely consider returning to KV in the future. read less

This place is great! So peaceful and the views are amazing! Every room has a view, there’s a private beach, pool, great location, and staff is wonderful! We won’t ever look for a different place to stay on Maui.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kahana Village. The property is beautiful, well maintained and set right on a quiet, private beach with great views of the ocean. Kahana Village is in a great location very close to a lot of shops, restaurants and beaches. Roughly a 10-15 minute drive... read more to downtown Lahaina. It is also within a 5-10 minute distance of a lot of beautiful and popular beaches/snorkel spots like Kapalua Beach and Honolua Bay. If you are looking for sea turtles, you will not need to venture far, as we saw a turtle on the beach during our first day here! However, it is important to note that there are LOTS of sea urchins in the reef outside, so watch your feet!

Overall, the room was very quiet and clean, with a lot of amenities. They provide you with cooking supplies, boogie boards, snorkel masks, fins and beach chairs - which really came in handy! The rooms also come equipped with air conditioning, and there is a walk out balcony which gives you a great view of the ocean. Would definitely recommend this cozy spot - I can't wait to come back! read less

Kahana Village is in a great location with easy access to shopping and restaurants. It is one of the few complexes in Kahana that actually have a real beach. The grounds are maintained meticulously. The staff is awesome....none can compare! All units have an ocean view....and... read more yes whales can be seen! When we were there this past April, there was a turtle on the beach as well as a sea lion. read less

Our 10th year and probably 13th visit to Kahana Village. This is the only place we stay on Maui. We've thought about others but keep winding up calling Vicki and making reservations at that little place on earth we love to call home.

We've stayed in a number of different units... read more there. All but one was a two bedroom. This stay was in unit 8. An updated unit with a great view of the ocean and Molokai. It looks directly out at the pool on property. It's stocked really well and suited our needs perfectly. Perfect? No. Is the Ritz? No. 🙂

What's to love best about Kahana Village is the intimacy of the complex and the management team, it's location away from Kaanapali and all it's craziness as that atmosphere just isn't what we like on a two week vacation and how easy it is to get to town or head up to Kapalua for some really good food. These are just a few reasons. There are tons of them.

We can't wait to go back.... again! More read less

Awesome!! Mai Tai's!! Great Hosts!! Awesome views!! Turtles on the beach!! Private feel to beach!! Room was perfect!! You won't regret this location!! You will be back again!! Enjoy watching fishermen right off the beach too!!

This was our first trip to Maui and we wanted to find that special condo close to everything yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I somehow found Kahana Village through TA and it did not disappoint! From check in (we felt special having our name up... read more on the “welcome” board) to the Mai Tai party the staff puts on each Wednesday (Andrew the ukulele player/singer is a hoot!), this gem of a resort has lots of accommodation options for couples and large families. I found out from other guests at the pool that this property is one they return to year after year. The grounds are immaculate! We stayed in unit 9 on our visit, a nice 1 bedroom with a loft for additional sleeping accommodations. The bathrooms and kitchen are all updated with modern amenities and the kitchen was stocked almost as good as my own at home (they didn’t have a pancake griddle so we improvised). During our stay the weather wasn’t super hot so we only had the opportunity to use the air-conditioning a couple of times, but it definitely did the trick. The nights were perfect with the ceiling fans throughout. The lanai is definitely big enough for a family of four to enjoy a meal or just to relax. The King size bed was extra comfy! This is usually not the case anywhere else I’ve stayed. Since it was just the two...

I had been told there was no longer much of a beach here because of erosion, but it was perfect for us. Not too far to walk and we saw people with their lawn chairs set up to watch the sun set. It was fun to watch the tide come in and out & the sun sets just to the left of Moloka'i. The beach isn’t too rocky except in a few spots, so just bring your water shoes if you want to get in. We saw people windsurfing fishing, surfing, boogie boarding and snorkeling right off our beach.

Mike & Vicki (who are the resident managers) were very accommodating hosts. We just loved this little property and hope to return again soon someday! More read less

Kahana Village is right on the water. We love to go to sleep with the sound of the waves. The grounds are lovely and well maintained. The staff is welcoming. Housekeeping has your unit ready for you and everything is clean and comfortable.

A stay in the beachfront condos provides everything special about Maui---ocean, beach, views, comfort, and peace. The location is away from the crowds and traffic of Kaanapali. There is convenient access to a diversity of food, restaurants and markets.

Especially for our pre-teen grandkids, this was an excellent choice. They could walk right out front at be at the pool, which they loved. For us it was affordable luxury with three big bedrooms and two excellent bathrooms. The air-con was actually necessary because the temps were in the upper... read more 80s most days. The kitchen was a pleasure to work in, well-equipped and neat. read less

As you walk through Kahana Village you will find yourself entering a beautiful tropical garden. There are multiple paths which lead to each unit. In the center there is a pool and hot tub facing the ocean. There are also grills and patio seating for a cook out . We... read more stayed in unit 6 which is a one level 3 bedroom conveniently located to the pool area and the ocean. In about 15 steps you will be on the beach or at the pool. There is an actual beach which is hard to find in Maui. This beach is not busy and at times you will be the only one on the beach. The snorkeling is great. The coral is tan with an occasional green but if you snorkel toward the shallow small rock area you will find multiple stacked coral with poke a dot fish ( box fish) , Picasso trigger fish, snowflake eel, needle fish, and small yellow/ green black striped fish. My favorite were the trigger and the box fish. You will definitely see sea turtles and possibly have them swim to you while you are snorkeling. Scary when you are not expecting it!!! This morning we actually watched a whale swim by to far out for good pictures. We have tried shoreline fishing without much luck. The owner has rods but you will need to bring a reel. We used Demming’s to have our food delivered... As you walk through Kahana Village you will find yourself entering a beautiful tropical garden. There are multiple paths which lead to each unit.

All of the ratings are based on our experience in unit 14. Once we added unit 4 into the equation, we raised our overall rating to a 4. As mentioned unit 14 was old and out-of-date. Unit 4 was totally the opposite.

Aloha to all at Kahana Village!! Enjoy the Mai Tai Wednesday!! See you again soon!! read less

Perfect location, friendly staff, great views, quiet and safe, kids loved the pool. Always welcoming, never any problems with room, bbqs for grilling when not wanting to go out and never had any problems feeling unsafe.

Will be returning

We had a three generations girl week on Maui. And our stay at Kahana Village couldn’t have been better. We had more than enough room for 5 women. The villa was very clean and bed were very comfortable. The pool was just close enough to be convenient but far enough... read more away to not cause noise in our rooms.

We had the pleasure of staying at Kahana Village for spring break this year. Our unit was perfect, right on the water, close to the pool, very well appointed with absolutely everything we needed, in the kitchen, towels, beach gear etc. And if we were in need of anything all... read more we had to do was ask. The staff and management are great and do everything they can to make sure you have a good stay. We chose to stock our unit with a few groceries for our arrival which was a service called Demmings and was recommended on the website it was fantastic and I will be doing this every time I go, it was so nice to not worry about shopping on the first couple of days and just show up. We invited friends over a few times and they could not get over how perfect the resort is, commented over and over about how peaceful it was. So all in all it was another fantastic time at Kahana Village we will absolute be going back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing family holiday! read less

We stayed in unit 15 - very happy with the property, condo and staff. I can't think of any room for improvement except the king size bed in the master bedroom is pretty soft. We prefer a firmer bed. Condo has everything you need including beach umbrellas... read more and a full size laundry detergent to do lots of laundry if needed- we did as we did not check our luggage on the plane. The staff was excellent - the property quiet and very well maintained. The beach is sandy but rocky as you enter, so you need water shoes. We had large green sea turtles resting on the beach a few days we were there - very cool. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely return to Kahana Village and unit 15. Would recommend Maui Zip Line at Maui Tropical Plantation for family zip lining (5 lines and 90 minutes), Maui Ocean Sports for kayaking with a guide and the Pacific Whale Foundation for a whale watching adventure. Also, you are only a 25 minute drive from the Nakalele blow hole - park at mile marker 38.5 (not 38) and prepare to see one of the coolest things mother nature has to offer - free and a highlight of our trip. read less

We had a wonderful time. The staff was kind and very accommodating. Any issues were resolved right away! Perfect place for our large family to all be together, yet have space to ourselves. The grounds are wonderfully kept and the view of Lanai and Molokai was stunning. Unit 39 was... read more just what we needed. Mahalo, Kahana Village. A hui hou! read less

This property is nicely out of the way from the really touristy parts of Ka'anapali and Lahaina on but still close enough to visit. Quiet location, which we like, versus the hubbub of a big resort. Good shallow pool for kids. Not too crowded even during spring break. Its beachfront... read more is a plus but I'd recommend sandals or surf shoes to walk into the water, a little rocky ~1ft below the water line, I just swam with my tevas on, helped me float anyway 🙂 Waves are not intense, so if you want to boogie board on the boards all the condos have, you'll be disappointed, our kids still had fun bobbing around. But if you like to sit in a beach chair (4 are provided/condo) and read a book with your feet in the sand or in the edge of the water, it's perfect! Some condos seem to have a beach umbrella but those are not inherently provided, I think previous guests may have purchased them and left them in some. Our unit, #10, was a great 2Bdrm. I liked the adult master/king in the loft and keeping the kids in the downstairs bathroom, some are are arranged opposite. Some elements of unit #10 have been updated (upstair bath, kitchen?). Has A/C which is needed in the loft in the afternoon as the skylights make it pretty warm otherwise but the rest of the time open windows and doors would be fine, if that's more your thing. Nice big lanai/balcony. Everything you'd need in the kitchen, including most spices, save for sugar 😉 so we dropped $3 to get some and left it there. Perfectly good grills outside and they were cleaned each day by staff. Beach front for walking is short (i.e. not like Kihei, where you could walks for a few miles) but still lovely otherwise. Sunsets into the water each night between Lanai and Molokai, that just doesn't get old. We would consider visiting this location again for sure (we may try another island for kicks and giggles next time we make it to Hawaii). read less

We’ve stayed at KV three times and love the small complex away from the resort areas. Family friendly, amazing views, wonderful staff, and fun Wednesday Mai Tai night. We’ve recommended to family and friends and they’ve loved it too.

Great location, staff, and complex area. Pool was never crowded and a little beach is right outside the complex. The views of the ocean were nice, and saw lots of whales right from the balcony. Great memories were made!!!

Great complex, well maintained units, excellent property management, wonderful location on ocean. This was our third time at KV and we will return next year. This property is 2 story, so not a high rise. It has its own beach

We had an excellent time and everything was as promised. Very clean, organized and they had all the little necessities that you don't want to pack or have to worry about getting when you are there! Great ocean setting with a clean pool. Felt right at home and seemed safe... read more and secure. read less
