My husband and I are repeat customers of Mahana Unit 717. The first time we stayed 6 weeks and the second time we stayed for 4 weeks; never enough time though. This particular unit is impressive with its cleanliness, its decorations that are very Hawaiian right down to the decorative pillows, mugs, dishes, wall decor and the 2 white leather-like chairs with their own ottomans right in front of the living room floor to ceiling windows. If you go in the winter months you can watch whales and their babies jumping and slapping and just having fun. We have also watched an endangered seal park itself on the beach for a couple of days, turtles, manta rays, and spinning dolphins. You just want to sit in those two chairs and watch forever. This unit is supplied with everything that you have in your home. They have beach chairs and other sport items. And they have this desk that you can work on with your computer and when you get tired of sitting this desk raises up so you can then stand; who even thinks of an item like that. You are so central that you have all of the restaurants in a close area, food trucks, supermarkets, urgent care, etc. And lastly the owners of this unit can be reached at any time and are 2 of the most responsive "friends" we have ever dealt with. Do not hesitate to book this unit. We give it well over 10 stars. Mike and Donna Davis from Massachusetts.

Booked through Costco but my wife already had stayed here before some 18 years ago. First the good. All the rooms are ocean facing, some 40 feet from the water and so they have some of the best views of any hotel here in Ka’anapali. You look down and can see turtles near shore, occasional bigger fish and whales in the not too distant ocean. Bring binoculars. You’re so close that you hear the waves breaking all day and night. Some might not like trying to go to sleep with the sound of waves but we love it. The room itself is fairly spacious,has a balcony, a small kitchenette, a smallish bathroom, compact washer and dryer(stacked) and 2 nice closets. It’s nothing fancy but is clean and works. Great location as you’re a 7 minute drive to Whalers village, 10 minutes to Nāpili-Honokōwai bay, 12 to Kapalua bay Plenty of free self parking. They have a concierge in the lobby who will book you on any type of tour. The bad is there are no blackout curtains so you get up with the sun. Also there is a warning not to leave food etc out as apparently it attracts bugs, although we’ve had no such problem. There’s no restaurant or bar, so no breakfast included. But you can walk few hundred feet on the beach to Dukes or short walk across the street to Java jazz or the food trucks adjacent to the hotel. In summary, you can’t beat the closeness to the sand or the views as a consequence. That to me trumps it all!

Everything about unit #717 was wonderful. The kithchen was well stocked. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. The view was amazing. Turtles everyday. I would definitely stay here again. I would also recommend unit #717 to anyone that is traveling to Maui.

Beautiful oceanfront view. Great location. Apartment could use $1000 to replace a 20year old mattress and comforter set and can do some touch ups for premium feeling. Karen was amazing at the reception. She helped me like I am of her own family.

We stayed in 1118 through Gather Vacation Rentals…the 1 bedroom unit was updated, clean, and spacious (for Maui). Every unit in the Mahana is right on the ocean, so the view absolutely cannot be beat. The building has plenty of parking, a pool/hot tub, and is easy walking distance to...

We stayed in 1118 through Gather Vacation Rentals…the 1 bedroom unit was updated, clean, and spacious (for Maui). Every unit in the Mahana is right on the ocean, so the view absolutely cannot be beat. The building has plenty of parking, a pool/hot tub, and is easy walking distance to a number of restaurants (and food trucks). Easy access to the beach which had surprisingly good snorkeling.
