The property is very well kept and the management has been very responsive to our inquiries and the few issues we had. The unit definitely needs some TLC. It is one of the larger units, 1200 sq ft, we have stayed at in Maui and a big big plus for having an in unit washer and dryer. We are on the second floor, 2 bedroom. The stairs coming up to the unit and the stairs going up to the 2nd level loft bedroom may soon be an issue for us, but for now being on the second floor is worth the views. The lower level unit are 3 bedroom all on one level. We would definitely stay here again. More read less

Our unit was spotlessly clean, spacious and well-stocked with the basic kitchen wares we need. Staff was very responsive and accord. We booked unit 37 that is oceanfront luxury unit. Although the oceanfront shoreline of our rental is rocky, you can easily walk towards the beachfront area by the pool and enjoy the nice, sandy beach. Kahana Village far exceeded our expectations and made our Maui trip one of the best vacations we ever had! Kudos to the staff at Kahana! read less

Awesome family friendly vacation condos. Well kept and convenient location. Nice beach right on the property. Will definitely stay here again.

Comfortable and clean 3bd. 2 bath condo. great ocean/beach view and access. fairly quiet on ground floor but some noise from chairs being moved around on lanai above us in early mornings. nice large pool but no shade.

First time staying there and I would absolutely come back. So, let's break this down: 1. Atmosphere: Very old Hawaii although the condo itself was recently updated. Quiet, on a very quiet bay that is chock full of turtles. Very small sand beach surrounded by lots of rocks, some reef, etc. This probably draws the turtles but the downside is the clarity of the water there is very very poor. While other areas around this side were quite clear during this period, this bay was most definitely not so keep that in mind. Not a great snorkel experience unless you go really really far out. There are BBQs facing the beach, a great little cabana, chairs, a small pool and well maintained Hawaii garden vibe. Really peaceful and perfect. 2. Unit itself: While some have been redone and apparently some have not, one one we were in (Unit 16) had been redone. Lovely Hawaiian furniture, granite counters, updated bathrooms, air, and an exceptionally well-stocked kitchen with everything you would need to cook, store, etc. They also start you out with a little starter pack of coffee, some spices, etc. and if a guest leaves behind a spice, that is there for you to use. beds were comfortable, bedding was great, view was spectacular, and I really cannot think of anything inside the unit... A friend and I just finished up a stay at Kahana Village at the beginning of September. First time staying there and I would absolutely come back. So, let's break this down:

2. Unit itself: While some have been redone and apparently some have not, one one we were in (Unit 16) had been redone. Lovely Hawaiian furniture, granite counters, updated bathrooms, air, and an exceptionally well-stocked kitchen with everything you would need to cook, store, etc. They also start you out with a little starter pack of coffee, some spices, etc. and if a guest leaves behind a spice, that is there for you to use. beds were comfortable, bedding was great, view was spectacular, and I really cannot think of anything inside the unit I would have changed other than perhaps the screens to the patio needing a bit of work. AND a washer/dryer with some pods. Bonus for us!

3. Amenities: The BBQ is clean and ready to use (gas) which is great. There are 6 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, a couple of different sized coolers, ours also had fishing gear, some boogy boards, and we purchased a left a couple of noodles. Really everything you need for a great trip to the beach. We checked and brought our own beach umbrella so we were set.

4. Support/Front office: They were terrific. We had a couple of chair problems that were immediately resolved, we found a broken dish that was resolved, we had them come fix a screen door that was off track that was very quickly resolved. I really don't think you could ask any more of the front office staff. They were friendly, on it, didn't appear as if you were causing them a problem. First rate folks.

5. Location: We thought the location was perfect. A quieter area in Kahana but beach front. Easy drive to Kaanapali, Lahaina, Napili, Honolua bay, Kapalua bay, etc. We much preferred it to the busier less Hawaiian area of Kaanapali.

All in all, this was probably my favorite place I've stayed in Hawaii (and I've stayed in a few, including the Westin Nanea) and we will definitely be back. More read less

We had a couple of issues which management addressed quickly. The outdoor hot tub was out of service and waiting for a part, wish we had been able to use it but all in all that wasn't a big deal. Ours was a long awaited family vacation with grandchildren and all of us loved it. We would love to visit Maui again and hope to stay here.

I know this has nothing to do with the condo but none of us even wanted to go swimming at this beach. There were lots of rocks, seaweed and floating stuff that it made it nasty. Also, the pool was only 3 feet deep. We have never been at a complex with such a shallow pool. That was sad since no one wanted to swim in the ocean. The hot tub was broken in that it was insanely hot. Like soo hot we couldn't even put our foot in. Hopefully the management will get that figured out.

We definitely reccomend this place if you are looking for a place with the best view on the island. I'm glad we found the best snorkel beach just a few minutes up the road, Slaughterhouse Beach (See of the gorgeous Cove with turquoise water and large sand beach) . Unbelievable snorkeling with a huge Sandy beach and even shade. We spent multiple days there.

Food was hard to find around there. Loved Joey's kitchen. But you will have to head down to Lahina and find more places. Don't miss grocery shopping at Times Market. I love all the local island favorites there.

Loved every sunset and picture we took. The grounds were beautiful. And The View did not disappoint! More read less

If you are looking for a more private location away from the crowds….this is it! Our condo #8 was affordable and overlooked the ocean and the pool. We loved feeling the ocean breeze every night and morning with the windows and glass doors open. So nice to visit other beaches and sight see with the crowds during the day, then return to #8 for relaxing drinks by the pool. The kitchen was well stocked and Vicki from the front office was very helpful and friendly. I would recommend Kahana Village for your future visit! K.Speiser More read less

We were concerned as we knew that beaches in that area were losing sand at an alarming rate over the past few years. However, this resort sits on "Secret Beach" which is more like a cove. We had been watching their webcam for some time before we even booked in order to see daily life at the resort. We liked what we saw and booked for June 2021 for two weeks. We chose our unit carefully taking into consideration that we wanted a unit that overlooked the beach and had enough living room seating for four adults to actually stretch out and be comfortable. We rented #27 and really enjoyed it. Mornings on the lanai with iced coffee, a rain sprinkle or two, a comical Oriental Beetle and Green Anole, and THE VIEW were exactly what we were looking for. The grounds are beautiful with Hawaiian flowers. All of the upstairs units are two bedrooms which are really one real bedroom and a spacious loft with its own bathroom. Our unit had twin beds in the loft of which we requested to be made into a king bed. It was comfortable as could be. There were three a/c's in the unit, one in the living room, one in the real bedroom, and one in the loft. However, we are from AZ and enjoyed the weather so much that we usually left the windows open which created a nice cross draft and this kept the unit nice and cool. We did end up closing the windows in the late afternoon and enjoyed some a/c time. This unit was well stocked with almost everything one would need, including spices. One thing that we noticed was that the king bedspread had multiple stains on the inside of it. It appeared to have not been washed in years. We enjoyed our "private" beach. Half of it was a rock outcrop which drew in green sea turtles. The other half was nice white sand. We found that it was easier to enter the gentle surf if we wore beach shoes so that we wouldn't be surprised by stepping on stray rocks. Maintenance was helpful and always kept the common areas perfect. The pool was pleasant although a little on the cool side. It was only 3 foot deep which is perfect for being lazy. The jacuzzi was on the fritz and was either 89 or 105 degrees. The common ramada was a nice place to cook dinner on one of the four barbecues and then enjoy the nice seating. A friend of the on-site manager came by frequently and would play the ukulele which was pleasant. During two weeks, two different green sea turtles hauled up our beach for a rest. The last one hauled up only 20 feet from where we were sitting. At that point, the population on our beach went from 2 to 3. Turtles could be seen daily eating the sea grass from the rocks. It was hard to see them while snorkeling due to turbidity. Sunsets were phenomenal. Views to Lanai and Molokai were great. Surf was never strong enough to knock one down. It was nice to just bob out in the slight waves. On our last night, we saw fins in the cove! It was not a dolphin. Coincidentally, that was the day when three turtles stayed within two feet of the beach. We hope to come back some time! read less

Would recommend with this one caveat - pick your unit wisely!

Our friends unit was newly (within 5-10 years) remodeled and ours - unit 39 - was a 70s throwback, including scratched parquet floors and aging recliners.

Our view was better. Balcony looked straight at the beach.
Their view was of the pool, garden then beach.

Both had AC - which was fantastic.

They were the same price.

There seemed to be even more recently remodeled units for even dearer price points.

Great access to roads to beaches or town.

Easy in and out of the resort - no long walks to elevators rides.

Wonderful bbq gazebo and lounge chairs on the turf.

Great for groups or families. More read less

Best vacation rental ever! We stayed in Unit 30 which was a beautiful oceanfront villa. The views from the lanai were beautiful. The hosts thought of everything which made our stay extremely comfortable. My family did not want to leave. We will definitely be back!!

Great location, the beach is great and very close to the units. We swam with a big sea turtle right in front of our unit, there were turtles and whales out front everyday.. The property manager Mike was very friendly and helpful. We will be back!

The condos are well appointed. The location is convenient to restaurants and activities. The property is well managed. We've stayed here many times and never been disappointed. If you want a luxury unit they have it. Upgraded but not luxury is still a great unit. Great units for families.

This is the perfect spot for a family you cant find a better place to stay.

We stayed in unit 3 which was beautifully updated and was very comfortable. It had everything you could possibly need from beach gear to cooking needs. The beds are about ready to be replaced, but they were still comfortable.

The unit has AC (some of the units do not so be aware of which unit you are looking at)

Our kids loved being able to go from the pool right to the ocean in 20 steps. The beach itself is really nice compared to some of the other oceanfront properties in the area. There beach itself is really sandy which was nice for the kids to play in. It's a bit more rocky in the water so having water shoes is a good idea but not absolutely necessary. There was decent snorkeling, we saw several turtles at this beach. So if you're looking for a place a little less "resort-like" but still oceanfront this is a great option. And at a fraction of the price!

The management was great. The dryer went out in our unit and they couldn't get anyone in to fix it till the next day so they gave us access to an empty unit so we could get our laundry done. That meant more to us than they probably know!

There is a gas station, general store, coffee shop, mcdonalds, maui brewery, chinese and sushi restaurants all within walking distance. It's away enough from the hustle and bustle of Ka'anapali and Lahaina that it's quiet and relaxing. But close enough that you can be there within 5-10 minutes.

Do not hesitate to book this place, you and your family will love it! read less

Loved the place so much we came back for our last week - Thanksgiving 2020. The grounds are so well maintained and you feel you are in a Hawaiian dream. The team at the Village was friendly and always there to help. They answered the phone each time! We have a special needs son that is 30 years old and we felt he was so safe here. The guests and staff were extra friendly.
About Unit 18 - You have spoiled us with all your amenities. We went to another condo in a different town and had to return before we left Maui. We will book here again! Unit #18 is a 3 bdrm and 2 bath with an updated kitchen, plus inside laundry and furnished tastefully. As our daughter who flew in from Atlanta said....."Kahana Village #18 is what you imagine when you book a Luxury Hawaiian Vacation." Photo: looking out of unit #18.

Rooms location was ,20' from ocean !! Perfect location for family vacation . Plenty of water play items under our private Lanai not to mention swimming pool ,hot tub and private outdoor cooking area . Well done thank you

We have stayed at Kahana Village three different time and have alway enjoyed our stay. We stayed in two different unity on our last stay and we found the first unit we stayed in was very comfortable but a little dated compared to the second we stayed in.

Every January we enjoy this property. The location is perfect. The grounds are well maintained. The management team is first rate as are all of the people you come into contact with. Really enjoy the fact that after sunset it is a very quiet and peaceful place

The condo is on the second floor of the building, and has fantastic view. The unit is only about 10 yards from the surf, and has a fantastic view of Lanai, Moloka'i, and the Au'au Channel in between. One of the best parts of our vacation was watching the humpback whales in the channel. If you're looking for a luxury vacation, there are lots of big resorts nearby. Kahana Village is for a lower-key experience. The other guests and residents were really friendly, and hang out together at the pool, spa, barbecues, and narrow beach. The cove at Kahana has a reef that is suitable for snorkeling and surfing, but there are a lot of rocks where the surf hits the sand. Napili Bay (about a mile away) has more sand, so it's more popular for snorkeling. Most of the surfers enter the water at Pohaku Park to the south of Kahana Village.

After arriving on Maui, stop at the Walmart or Target close to the Kahului airport to stock up on staples for the kitchen (which for us included beer). Shop at the Napili Market (about a mile from Kahana Village) for poke or other fresh food. If you're staying at Kahana Village, you're probably not looking for a really touristy experience, so you'll probably want to avoid the shops and restaurants to the south at Ka'anapali.

Nice place to rent. Its just off of the beach which is always nice. The beach is rocky so bring water shoes
