Quality all around
We’ve stayed at the Mahana many times and this was the nicest unit we’ve ever rented. It was furnished and stocked like it was meant for the owner. No problems. Good quality appliances, dishes, mattress, TVs, WiFi. The view on the top floor was exceptional especially when watching the turtles and sunsets. Host was very responsive and had lots of beach chairs and toys available.

Spectacular view, disappointed in lack of essentials
Gorgeous view and perfect location, would be 5 stars across board but disappointed in certain aspects, especially as compared to other units in which we’ve stayed in the Mahana at equivalent rates. Our stay was two weeks. Very frequent VRBO travelers. Found couch cushions and table chair upholstery in need of cleaning. Most disappointing was condo lacked certain items that are VRBO basics, in our experience. We felt a little “nickeled and dimed” having to buy these items for ourselves after asking property manager twice and receiving no response — e.g., no basic cleaning product to clean countertops and glass table after each instance of cooking/eating use; no brush, sponge, or other scrubbing pad was provided for kitchen sink, to clear stuck on food from dishes before putting in dishwasher or to clean items not appropriate for dishwasher; no salt, not even a plastic shaker, in cupboards. Also, kitchen utensils are comparatively sparse for cooking, for those who enjoy it when VRBO’ing — as an example, two micro-tiny cutting boards in kitchen, not even big enough to slice fruit or vegetables. Master bed had no bedspread, instead was covered only by two white top sheets with a thin blanket in between. On 12th day of our stay was a knock on the door, a plastic sack with what turned out to be a bed spread was handed to my wife; delivery person said it had been cleaned for the owner who would be staying in the unit soon but that we were “free” to use it if we wished. Just odd.

I don’t know where to begin but I’ll start with the view perfect, amazing, breathtaking, wow! Large lanai with beautiful view, access to lanai from living room and bedroom, immaculate, kitchen has all the essentials, rainfall shower, beach essentials (ex: boogie boards, snorkel gear, cooler, etc.). I wish I could have stayed longer, the sunrise/sunset was beautiful and we were lucky enough to see whales several times throughout our stay. I have beautiful memories and will definitely return on our next trip.

AMAZING! Just stop looking and book this! I really cannot say enough about how beautiful this unit is. Loved everything. Property is perfect, very close to everything. We stayed at a very nice condo in Kauai and didn’t think this would be the same, but this far surpassed it. We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck and walking down 4 steps to the beach. We will definitely be back! 10 stars!

Great views!
The view from this unit was amazing, we loved watching the turtles and catching the sunset from the balcony. We took advantage of the beach chairs and boogie boards that were kept in the unit and brought them down to the beautiful beach each time. Though the beach in front of the condo isn’t swimmable because of the reef, it was a short walk over to the public beach which was never too crowded. The hosts were great communicators, as soon as Linda found out there would be construction on the roof during our stay, she immediately contacted us to see if there was anything she could do to make the stay better.

Breathtaking Waterfront Piece of Heaven
Look no further than Mahana 12th floor with views you won’t experience anywhere else! You can’t get any closer to the ocean with the floor to ceiling views when you step in-I felt like I was flying over the ocean/walking on water. Privacy from the large lanai is so nice-sunsets are epic! Big plus was being able to see the turtles below-aid love to come for whale season since I get sea sick;you would get a front seat with the comforts of home. I’ve never slept in a more comfortable bed-better than my own! Kathy and Linda were super responsive to questions we had and updates for the unit. We will rebook for sure if we stay in the Kanaapali side in the future!

Great 4 nights
This was a great stay in a great location. My wife and I enjoyed our early morning coffee on the balcony of this 12th floor unit. You can’t be any closer to the water with absolutely nothing in your way to obstruct your view. The water was crystal clear and we were able to see turtles all day long. I also think I spotted a small shark. It was a great view of the other islands and boats passing by. The mirrors in the unit made the views even better. We also were able to take walks along the water which connects all the way down to the Hyatt. There were plenty of amenities in the unit. The bed was comfortable and the temperature was just right. We were able to us the AC when we needed to. We also took advantage of the pool. I highly recommend this unit and this complex.

Exactly what we wanted
The photos & description were spot on - the property was exactly what we anticipated and check in instructions were easy to follow. Whales, whales, whales!!!! We stayed over Christmas and saw SO MANY whales out the windows and walking the beaches. Christmas Day was whale jumping apparently they enjoyed the lack of boats. And sea turtles!!! So many turtles at the reef below every day we found a few to watch and surfers or paddlers. Bed was very comfortable and pillows too. Great to have beach gear on hand and a cooler - so thoughtful. No issues at all and had a wonderful stay - would return!

You can’t get a better view than the top floor of the Mahana. We’ve stayed in half a dozen places in the Mahana, and this was one of the best. Every thing you need, including lots of pleasant surprises like aluminum foil. Beautifully decorated. Comfortable furniture and bed. Large new TV that was really appreciated during several days of bad weather.
