Oceanfront Kahana Condo Rentals
West Maui's Middle Stretch, Where Our Office Is
Kahana condo rentals are our home turf. Our licensed brokerage works out of the heart of Kahana, minutes from every unit on this page, so if the lanai door sticks on day two, someone who knows the building is close.
Kahana isn't a resort district. People live here. That's the appeal: you get oceanfront condos without the crowds of Kaanapali, and Napili Bay and Kapalua are just up the road.
Quick Takeaways
- Location: Kahana sits between Kaanapali and Kapalua, on a residential stretch of coast with Molokai across the water.
- Most choice in our lineup: We rent more condos in Kahana than in any other area, from an ocean-view studio at Royal Kahana to a three-bedroom penthouse at Sands of Kahana.
- Quietest pick: Kahana Sunset has no neighboring resorts at all.
- All-oceanfront pick: Every condo at Valley Isle Resort faces the ocean.
- Groups: We can place a group in up to 24 condos at Kahana Sunset and 19 at Sands of Kahana.
Kahana Sits Midway Between Kaanapali and Kapalua
Stay in Kahana and the rest of West Maui is within easy reach in both directions. Lahaina town is about 20 minutes south by car from Sands of Kahana and Kahana Sunset, and Whalers Village is on the way.
Space is the other reason. Across Lahaina, Kaanapali, Napili and Kapalua, vacation rentals averaged $802 a night in 2025, according to Hawaii DBEDT's vacation rental report, a figure that counts cleaning and service fees. At prices like that, space per booking matters. Most of our two- and three-bedroom condos are right here in Kahana.
Our on-staff concierge can plan the rest of the week with you: a luau, a snorkel sail, a zipline morning, surf lessons for the kids, a sunset cruise, horseback rides and, in winter, a whale-watching trip.
Sands of Kahana for Families and Bigger Groups
Sands of Kahana is the one we suggest for big families. It covers more than 7 beachfront acres, with condos from 670 to 2,290 square feet, most of them oceanfront.
Bring the kids. They get a separate water play area beside the two pools, plus mini golf and a beach volleyball court. Parents get the on-site Captain Jack's Island Grill and Maui Brewing Company within a 5-minute walk. Our three-bedrooms sleep eight, and one is a penthouse with a loft upstairs. There's also a koi pond, lighted tennis courts and kayak and paddleboard rentals on property, which means a whole beach day without the car.

Kahana Sunset Is the Quiet Cove on Keonenui Bay
Kahana Sunset is the boutique choice: 79 units on calm Keonenui Bay, with no resort next door. Six buildings wrap a pool and BBQ area, and the water out front is gentle enough for snorkeling and stand-up paddling on most days.
It sits on the Napili edge of Kahana. Napili Market is a quarter mile away. Our one-bedrooms sleep four, and the two-story two-bedrooms sleep up to six, each with a washer, dryer and free covered parking. Couples who want to hear the water rather than the neighbors should start here.
Royal Kahana Puts the Shops Across the Street
Royal Kahana is the most convenient address in Kahana. Kahana Gateway Shopping Center is directly across the road, with Whalers General Store & Deli for groceries and Snorkel Bob's for gear, and Miso Phat Sushi is right there too.
Units have central A/C (not every West Maui condo does), and the oceanfront heated pool looks over a big green lawn. Beach access here is seasonal, and parking runs $18 a day plus tax. Maui Brewing Co. Pub & Restaurant is in the same shopping center, a handy fact on night one. We rent an ocean-view studio there that sleeps four.
Valley Isle Resort Is the All-Oceanfront Pick
Couples and small families do well at Valley Isle. Every condo here is oceanfront, and our two one-bedrooms there sleep four apiece, with a heated pool, an herb garden and a koi pond on the grounds. Kayaks and paddleboards rent next door at Sands of Kahana. There's no parking or resort fee, and the private balconies are made for sunsets and winter whale watching.
Bringing a Group to Kahana
Kahana is where we put big groups. For a wedding or reunion we can place one group in up to 24 condos at Kahana Sunset and 19 at Sands of Kahana, and three or more condos booked together get our 10% group rate.
At Kahana Sunset, the buildings form a U around the pool. Building A to building E is a short walk.
