Direct Oceanfront Condo Stunning Remodel Curated Interior Mahana at Kaanapali

The Mahana at Kaanapali Unit 317, Lahaina, Maui

If the dates you are looking for are unavailable, we also have another 1 br / 1ba condo at the Papakea Resort for you to check out. VRBO #1796800.

During this year's annual visit (June 2023), we repainted the condo with a different color scheme that Quyen used at our other remodels. We also replace the bar stools with back support to make them more comfortable. We also order a custom art piece for the bedroom as well.

Our fully renovated (May 2018), luxurious, coastal contemporary one-bedroom suite with a floor-to-ceiling window and private lanai is located on Kaanapali Beach just north of the famous Puu Kekaa (Black Rock beach). We are on the 3rd floor of the Lanai building (left building) at The Mahana.

We are trying to capture the essence of resort living with the cool and casual style of Tommy Bahama's new lines of furniture. Fully stocked gourmet kitchens with brand new appliances, bathroom with dual sinks (a rarity with one-bedroom suite), washer and dryer will make sure that you will feel pampered and relaxed after an active day at the beach.

Stroll our mile-long stretch of beach, snorkel just offshore, relax at the oceanfront swimming pool. Explore West Maui's many beaches and bays, championship golf course in Kapalua, fine shopping at Whalers Village.

Instead of purchasing a condo that was partially upgraded to the previous owner's taste or budget, we selected this condo because we can start with a clean slate. The materials, appliances, and furniture we chose are the reflection of our desire to have a luxury oasis for our guests, or when we visit. My wife hates it when we spent our hard-earned money on vacation and stay at a place that is not nicer than our own home. Therefore, we are doing our best to make sure that our guests enjoy the inside of our unit as much as they are enjoying the beautiful, well-kept ground at the Mahana or the spectacular ocean view.

Here are what you will be enjoying when you stay at our newly remodeled unit. We break the bank but you won't have to. :-)
* Central air and ceiling fans in every room
* Complimentary WIFI
* Complimentary parking with no resort fees.
* New tile floor. American Orlean porcelain tile plank to mimic light wood flooring throughout the condo and the lanai.

*Brand new furniture from Tommy Bahama in the living room and Dining Room
**McConnell Queen Sleeper with upgraded Air Dream Mattress with Petrified Wood Top side table

** Custom closet organizer
** brand new 50" 4K TV, Cable TV with 200+ HD channels and Fire TV Stick
* Beach ready. We provide a beach umbrella, blankets and chairs, boogie boards, and snorkeling equipment for two.

Enjoy your breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the lanai with comfortable Janus et Cie’s outdoor dining set. Ceiling fan with light keeps you comfortable on the hottest day.

Duke's Restaurant and Bar is steps away next door and right on the beach. Java Jazz, five minutes walk away, is a local favorite that serves breakfast and dinner with live music.

** June 2023 **
After five years, our condo still looks beautiful. A big thank you to our guests and our cleaning crew for taking excellent care of the place.

This time, Quyen wanted to add some pop to the condo; so we repainted the ceiling, walls, and doors with a new set of colors. The picture didn't really bring out the differences with the new colors but it looks great in person.

We also brought over new bar stools with back support that allows our guests to sit more comfortably. This is where our sons sit for hours (after coming back from the beach) playing games on their computers.

** May 2020**
The first picture you see is taken on May 29th, 2020. Two years after our remodel. Our condo still looks as great two years later. A big thank you to our guests for taking great care of our home-away-from-home.

**April 2019**
This is our second trip back after the renovation completed in May 2019. We restocked the kitchen, upgraded the rice cooker, and added the All-Clad waffle maker.

We replaced all the King pillows, upgraded the bedroom TV to 50" 4K, two brand new set of snorkeling gears, new and larger Chilewich rug in the entryway.

We also deep clean the floor and grout.

A Maui jewel!
From initial booking to checking out, everything was so smooth and easy with this rental. Quyen pays great attention to detail and excellence. We wanted for nothing. There are even conveniently placed device chargers in the main area and bedroom. The kitchen is spotless and so well appointed. The mattress on the bed was better than at home! It had everything we needed. Now for the even better part - the condo is in a fantastic location. The Maui surf is less than 100 feet from your balcony. Rain or shine it was spectacular to just sit and stare at the ocean. We saw whales in the distance, spectacular crashing waves, surfers and beautiful sunsets. The condo location is in a very convenient spot to restaurants and amenities but tucked away from the road and busyness. We enjoyed the quiet ambiance as a couple. There are no downs to staying at the place. We highly recommend this rental and hope to be back soon! Mahalo!

5 star all the way around!!
This rental property is the best!! It is beautifully furnished and updated and incredibly well appointed. Every time we thought of something that we thought we should have brought or felt we needed, we just looked a little bit in the condo and sure enough it was there!! Very impressive!! The entire condo was immaculately clean, and I am very picky. The location is great! A beautiful walking boardwalk is right there and close to restaurants and golf. There was some construction noise as the owner had said there would be. The view from the condo is spectacular-second to none!! ( Too bad the windows were so dirty but that was due to the construction. Couldn’t be helped. ) Quyen was a delight to deal with and responded quickly and was very kind to us. We appreciated everything. My husband is a quiet man but mentioned repeatedly how impressed he was with our find and how great a vacation he felt he was having. Big praise from him!! We would love to come back!! Can’t wait!!!

About the host

Hosted by Quyen

Host profile image
Aloha,
We live in Southern California with our two school-age sons. We own a few long-term rental properties in California but this is our first vacation rental property. We firmly believe in the "pride of ownership". So all our properties were remodeled as if we were going to live in them. We feel that if we make our properties look nice; they will attract tenants who care about how their homes look. They are the people who will take care of the place during their stay.

Therefore, we don't see this unit as a vacation rental. We see it as our home away from home, and we would like to share it with people who will enjoy (and take good care of) this place as much as we do.

Check out our website QuyentessentialVacationRentals (dot com) for more information about our units

-Quyen & Michael

Why they chose this property

At the time of our purchase, this unit has been neglected for many years and needs major upgrading. My wife loves to remodel and redecorate houses, so she sees the potential of this place. We decided that we will make a major investment to turn this place into a home, even though it will not make financial sense for a vacation rental business.

We have spent countless hours researching on the internet (agonizing over every little design decision). We also stayed in the condo for a week before finalizing on the remodeling and the furnishing. We are looking forward to seeing the final results of our dream home. We hope that you are going to be excited about staying here and will be extremely satisfied when you leave.

We look forward to building memories as we return to visit this place year after year. We hope that you will build your own memories as you enjoy our place.

What makes this property unique

Upon entering our premium one-bedroom condo, you will be greeted by our tranquil beachfront view. Palm trees from the beach will provide protection from the afternoon sun. You will enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the spectacular sunset from our lanai furnished with Janus' Viola outdoor dining set.

Columbia cabinetry (environmentally friendly) and beautiful white quartz countertops, our kitchen provides everything you need to cook for and serve four people (plus a couple of dinner guests). Our brand new FULL-SIZE washer and dryer will keep your clothes looking great after a day at the beach.

You will be rewarded with a blissful night's sleep in our beautiful and comfortable king-size bed with luxurious linen and the gentle crashing of the waves on the beach. Our condo can accommodate an additional two guests with the queen-size sleeper in the living room.

You will enjoy starting your day with a tastefully remodeled bathroom with dual-sink vanity (a rarity for a one-bath unit in our building).
