Kahana, Kahana Sunset, Spacious 4 BR, Beachfront, Sleeps 12

Summary:

Bring the whole group to Kahana Sunset, a low-rise oceanfront resort tucked around Keonenui Bay on the quiet Kahana coast of West Maui, between Kaanapali and Kapalua. Your reservation includes two private 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condos: four bedrooms and four bathrooms in all, two full kitchens, two living rooms and two private lanais, with the heated pool, the children's wading pool, oceanfront barbecues and the lawn above the bay a short stroll from your door.



What we guarantee: Both condos are always inside Kahana Sunset. Unit A is a 2-bedroom condo and Unit B is a 2-bedroom condo, with exactly the beds listed below in every bedroom. Both condos have ocean-view lanais. Both homes are kept to the same quality standard, with finishes similar to what you see in these photos. If we ever could not deliver that, you would approve the alternative first or receive a full refund.



Bed types: Unit A - Master Bedroom: King; Bedroom 2: 2 Queens. Living room sofa bed; Unit B - Master Bedroom: King; Bedroom 2: King. Living room sofa bed.



The 4 bedrooms sleep 8 guests at 2 per bedroom, and the sleeper sofa in each living room sleeps 2 more, adding 4 additional guests for a combined maximum of 12.



Kahana Sunset's two-bedroom homes are two-level townhouse-style condos: the living room, dining area and kitchen are on the main level, and the two bedrooms are upstairs, each with its own full bathroom. Unit A has a king primary bedroom and a second bedroom with two queen beds, a great fit for a family with older kids or a group of friends. Unit B has king beds in both bedrooms, ideal for two couples.



Good to know before you book: each condo has its own front door and its own entry details, so the two halves of the group keep their own schedules. The bedrooms are upstairs in both homes, so there are internal stairs. Parking is free on the property with a parking pass, and Kapalua Airport is only a few minutes away. There is a 4-night minimum, with check-in from 3 PM and check-out by 11 AM.



The Space:

Unit A (2BR): Unit A is a two-level, two-bedroom, two-bathroom townhouse-style condo. The main level holds the living room with its sleeper sofa, the dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, cookware and dishes, and it opens to a private lanai for breakfasts outside and sunset drinks. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has a king bed and its own full bathroom, and the second bedroom has two queen beds and its own full bathroom, so everyone has a real bed and a bathroom close at hand. The living room sofa opens into a bed for two more guests, bringing this home to 6.



Unit B (2BR): Unit B follows the same two-level plan, with the living and dining area and a full kitchen downstairs opening to a private lanai, and two bedrooms upstairs, each with its own full bathroom. Both bedrooms have king beds, so two couples get equal comfort and privacy. A sleeper sofa in the living room adds space for two more guests, for a total of 6 in this home.



The resort: Kahana Sunset spreads across roughly four acres of lawn and gardens in six low-rise buildings, 79 units in all, surrounded by quiet residential streets rather than neighboring resorts. The heated swimming pool and the adjoining children's wading pool are the heart of the property, with oceanfront barbecue areas, a community cabana, an herb garden and the Keonenui lawn relaxation deck above the bay. Keonenui Bay itself is a small, reef-protected cove; its sand shifts with the seasons, generous some months and slimmer in others, while the pool deck and the lawn are the year-round places to relax by the water. During humpback whale season, December through April, the channel out front is busy with breaching whales. Both condos are inside Kahana Sunset, so the whole group shares the same pool, lawn and bay.



Guest Access:

Your reservation includes the private interiors of both condos, each with its own front door and its own entry details, plus the shared Kahana Sunset amenities: the heated swimming pool and children's wading pool, the oceanfront barbecue areas, the community cabana, the herb garden, the Keonenui lawn and relaxation deck, and beach access to Keonenui Bay. Free parking is on the property.



The Neighborhood:

Kahana is the relaxed, residential stretch of West Maui between Kaanapali and Kapalua, and Kahana Sunset puts you right in its quiet center. Pohaku Beach Park, known locally as S-Turns, is a short walk away and is a good spot for turtle sightings and sunset views. Local favorites including Dollie's Pub & Cafe, Miso Phat Sushi, Captain Jack's Island Grill and Hawaiian Village Coffee are all within a couple of minutes.



Drive 5 to 10 minutes south and you reach Whalers Village and Kaanapali Beach, with their shops, restaurants, bars, golf courses and long golden beach, one of the most popular in West Maui. Drive 5 to 10 minutes north for Kapalua Bay and the Kapalua Coastal Trail, one of Maui's most scenic shoreline walks, along with Kapalua's world-class golf courses and fine dining, and Napili Bay, a sheltered cove popular for snorkeling and spotting green sea turtles. Honolua Bay, known for winter surf and summer snorkeling, is roughly 15 minutes beyond Kapalua.



Whale season runs from December through April, and the waters between Maui, Molokai and Lanai fill with humpbacks, many of them visible from the resort lawn. The rest of the year, calm mornings are ideal for swimming and paddling, and the West Maui sunsets are a nightly event.



Getting Around:

Kapalua Airport (JHM), which handles interisland flights, is about 2 miles from Kahana Sunset, roughly a 5- to 10-minute drive. Kahului Airport (OGG), Maui's main airport for mainland flights, is about 45 to 60 minutes away by car. A rental car is the easiest way to get around West Maui and the rest of the island, and parking at Kahana Sunset is free and open on the property, with a parking pass provided at check-in. Several restaurants and a coffee shop are within a couple of minutes of the resort, and Pohaku Beach Park is a short walk.



Other Things to Note:

Arrival instructions, entry details and parking information for both condos are provided with your reservation.
