“Had a great time at the Kahana Reef”

My sister and I just returned from a relaxing week at the Kahana Reef. We stayed in Unit 107, a beautifully renovated ground floor unit with a new kitchen, granite countertops, beautiful artwork and furnishings. Absolutely perfect!.
Enjoyed dinners on the Lanai beside the pool and BBQ area. Met some very welcoming owners who gave us great advice on what to do on our vacation. The helicopter ride over Molakai was amazing!
The complex is older but the grounds are very well maintained. The units are individually owned and are not all as nice as our unit. Our parents stayed in Unit 220 which was run down and in need of an update.
The complex is right on the water but the beach is located next door and is perfect for swimming. The Kahana Reef is a short drive to the town of Lahaina and to great snorkling at Black Rock and Napili Beach.
If you are looking for a laid back week in an economical oceanfront condo, this is the place for you.

“It's truly oceanfront!”

You can't get a better view of the ocean and can fall asleep to waves your so close. If your looking for simplicity, peace, and quiet this is your place. A 5 minute drive south to the beaches (north of the black rock), can bring you some amazing snorkeling. Also Kahana is between Kaanapali and Napili, offering various dining options each way.

“Our 5th stay at Kahana Reef”

Skull Valley, Arizona

6/8 found this review helpful

This was our 5th stay at Kahana Reef. Each condo is indiviually owned and we haven't had a bad one yet. Although, some are better than others. The ocean water is so close you can throw a rock into it from the lanai. Most units don't have air conditioning, but we didn't need it. There is a nice coin-op laundry facility on the premises. The condos are within a short driving distance to Lahaina and the best snorkling areas. This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget, but still want an oceanfront view. It is not a luxury resort. The next time we return to Maui we will definitely stay here again.

I also stayed in unit 317 and it was exactly as advertised on the owner's website, [---]. A piece of paradise indeed, with gorgeous sunsets on the lanai, cross breezes through the unit all day long, away from the craziness of some of the other neighboring condos and hotels, this is definitely more of a residential and relaxing sort of complex. Perfect for couples who want privacy or those who just want to get away and stare at the ocean for a little bit.

Great location in northwest Maui, with easy access to beaches up and down west Maui. You can get to all of the touristy spots and still have this oasis to come home to far enough away from it all.

I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else when in Maui.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — It's serene quality and "hominess." The unit provided everything from beach chairs to guide books, kitchenware to umbrellas.
    • Disliked — Reliable cellphone and wireless service.
