Spectacular View 1 Bedroom Condo right on the ocean, Lahaina: Direct from Owner
The condo building is right on the ocean with 180 degree unobstructed views from your private lanai or from the pool and grounds.
Lahaina Roads is a beautiful and comfortable condominium, ideal for couples, right on the ocean. Enjoy West Maui from your doorstep - beautiful sunsets, fine restaurants, world class golf, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, turtle and whale watching, surfing, and more. Lahaina Roads offers: • Heated, mosaic decorated, swimming pool • Beautiful view of the Lanai and Molokai islands • Seasonal whale watching from your private lanai • Fall asleep with the sounds of the ocean and blessed • Free high speed and wireless Internet • Fully equipped kitchen, with dishwasher • In unit new washer and dryer • Barbeque area with new burners • Covered parking • Natural tropical breezes and fans to cool you
Miraculously spared in the great wildfire of 2023, the property is intact, thoroughly redone, and even blessed by local Hawaiian clergy. Lahaina Roads is a quiet ocean front resort that sits on the north end of Lahaina, at the edge of an oasis spared by the 2023 fire. It is steps to the Gateway and Cannery malls, Coco Deck, Mala, Honu, Star Noodle, and Aloha Mixed Plate restaurants, and the world famous "Old Lahaina Luau" - all left intact and operating since the fire. There are several other dining options, including a food truck cluster and bar inside air conditioned Cannery mall.
Look for Lahaina Flyover videos on youtube by Jesse G Wald to have you an idea how Lahaina is rebuilding. Over 1,000 houses are being permitted, more than 500 houses are being rebuilt and over 150 have already been completed in January 2026. The fire did not go far north beyond our building. There are still several somewhat overgrown empty lots, some with mobile homes, mostly closer to the town centre of Lahaina..
Baby (sand) beach is a 10 minute walk, protected by a reef, with views of Lanai, Ka'anapali beach and Molokai in the background. You can also walk one mile north on the walkway along the ocean to the canoe club and the beach at Ka'anapali, browse the shops or restaurants at Whaler's Village, snorkel at Black Rock, or just walk on the sand beach, none of these were affected by the fire.
Safeway and CVS are steps away in the Cannery mall, Foodland and Walgreen's are across the highway in Gateway mall, and Island grocery is up on the hill behind Gateway plaza. Starbucks is in the Cannery mall and across the highway near Walgreen's. Costco, WalMart and Whole Foods are in Kahului where the airport is.
The remediation after the fire prompted us to do a floor to ceiling refresh of the condo: After extensive fire decontamination, the unit has been repainted, with much new furniture, appliances and bathroom. We have changed the set up 2 guests only, ir is our vacation home and there are just the two of us.
The property has also completed a significant refresh after the fire, with new pool furniture and BBQ area. This unit has been significantly redone in 2025 including new appliances. It is fully furnished including a full kitchen with dishwasher, washer, dryer, internet & WiFi.
The unit is well equipped for one couple, in a small, quiet, ocean front condo building just on the edge of Lahaina - Maui’s sunniest part of the island. It’s not suited for partying. The condo has one comfortable Queen bed in the bedroom.
You can hang out by the pool on the ocean, walk down the street to the restaurants and supermarkets, or visit all that Maui has to offer.
Lahaina Roads Condos This adult-oriented oceanfront Maui rental resort (not suitable for partying) sits right at the water’s edge and enjoys breathtaking views of Lanai and Molokai and remarkable sunsets in the evenings. In the winter and early spring, you can whale watch right from your lanai. There are turtles within 50 feet of the shore on most days, right in front of the oceanfront swimming pool. Built when ocean front property was still available, it is scrupulously maintained by the resident manager.
The property offers a beautiful, mosaic decorated, heated, oceanfront, private pool, library and barbeque area for your enjoyment, and the famous Ka’anapali Beach is just minutes away.
• Small 4 story, 42 unit building • Baby Beach nearby swimming and snorkeling - 10 min walk • Lahaina Cannery and Gateway Malls - 5 min walk • Plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance: closest less than 5 minutes • Free internet and WiFi • Bamboo hardwood floors • BBQ, patio, and library • Swimming & Snorkeling, on site and nearby • Spectacular sunset Year Round • Walk to famous Old Lahaina Luau - just 5 minutes • Peaceful mature community • No resort fees
There is plenty to do in and around Maui. There are countless cafes, restaurants, and shops here to please all of your senses. The largest Banyan tree in North America is right downtown, by Lahaina main port, a 20 min. walk. About 1/3 was lost during the fire, the remaining tree is flourishing.
Take excursions from Mala ramp, Ka'anapali beaches, even Lahaina harbour, or Ma'alalea harbour by the ocean centre on the way to Kahului.
The Kana’apali beach, boardwalk, and hotels are just 1.2 miles the north of the condominium.
Lahaina Cannery Mall is enclosed, air conditioned, and only 5 minutes from the condo. This fun shopping center has casual restaurants, Starbucks, and food trucks. Many other activities include hula dancers, live music, and yearly festivals, and displays about the 2023 fire.

The property provided not only an exceptional ocean view but in a convenient location for walking for groceries, restaurants, water excursions, and downtown Lahaina shops. We totally enjoyed living in paradise, cooking wonderful meals and watching sunsets from the lanai. We will be back. Susan and David

Maui vacation week January’2023
This property is conveniently situated just outside of old town Lahaina, grocery shopping, beach and running path to other northbound resort beach complexes in Kaanapali and beyond. You can walk or drive, whichever is preferred. The perfect location for everything you need and do in West Maui.
The ocean front view is priceless, and you can never get tired of sitting on the lanai and just watch / listen to the waves coming ashore anytime if the day. Unfortunately we missed the sea turtles sighting, but we heard from others they were there (just below the sea wall) one of the mornings.
Nick is a super host, very detailed (instructions, helpful travel info, recommendations), highly responsive, and follows up with you during and after your stay.
The apartment has everything we needed and we made brunch every morning watching the ocean, and on nights that we don’t want to go out, it’s easy to buy take-out or make something simple. The in-suite washer/dryer are very convenient and easy to operate. Our only feedback is if the floors could be even cleaner (we prefer to go barefoot inside home), that would make a perfect score.
We had an amazing stay and we hope to return in the future!

Unbeatable location!
In the heart of Lahaina we could easily walk to shopping and restaurants. Multiple days we even walked to downtown Lahaina. The sunsets from our lanai were unbelievable. Turtles frequently visited in front of the property. The owner was extremely communicative, helpful and ensured we had everything we needed.
It was quite cozy and exactly what we needed. The location was nice, away from any noise from the main part of front street. I was glad it had a kitchen since we went fishing I had a place to cook my catch. The view was wonderful! It was a joy watching the sunset from the balcony, and wake up with morning coffee and watch the waves. The only real issue with the place was the sliding glass door to the balcony would get stuck, and was extremely hard to open. And if you can't handle the heat, there is no AC, which didn't bother us too often. All in all my husband and I had a nice stay and would come here again if we had the opportunity. Thanks!

No frills condo, amazing location
The condo is exactly as described. The condo /building is dated but has the comforts of home including a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and beach gear (folding backpack chairs, coolers, beach towels, snorkel masks). The toilet was a bit quirky and some lights didn’t work. For someone who likes it quite cool, the condo was quite warm during the day even with windows/patio doors open and fans running, but Nick the owner had forewarned us about this. The downsides were outweighed by the excellent oceanfront location where turtles can be seen swimming right up to the sea wall.

Great Location & Helpful Touches
We loved this place. Although the property is a bit dated, it's clean and well maintained. The location cannot be beaten. It's a mere 0.3 miles from 5 or 6 great restaurants, as well as a Safeway, and only 0.6 miles from Baby Beach. Before we arrived, we were concerned that the lack of air conditioning might be a problem, but it was not. Although it got up to 85 degrees most days of our stay, the fans and natural breezes kept things quite pleasant. All appliances worked as advertised (the toilet is very temperamental, but it worked during our entire stay). The pool is very clean and warm. One of the things we most appreciated was all of the beach supplies that were available -- chairs, towels, an umbrella, water shoes, and plenty of sunscreen. Nick, the owner, was very responsive, and check-in was easy. We would stay here again in a heartbeat -- and I sure hope that we do so very soon!
Clean, great location, wonderful pool, bbq area and beautiful grounds. The bed is super comfortable, love the in unit washer, dryer and dishwasher. Nick was great to work with, lots of tips and ideas on things to do in Lahaina. Loved our stay here and will be back.

Perfect Location!
Wish I could give this property higher marks for location - it simply can't be beat! We've stayed in this building a few times, and it's the best. Walk to downtown Lahaina, Baby Beach or just a couple blocks to the Safeway/Longs Drugs and several restaurants. Parking is super convenient right under the building - although you might want to avoid renting a jumbo-sized vehicle. The condo sits just yards from the ocean and the views of the sunset are spectacular. There's also a nice (and super clean) swimming pool with lounge chairs, and BBQ area with easy-to-operate gas grills. Can't wait to go back!

Old and outdated.
First of all this property has one of the best locations and views. But that is where it stops. It is very old and outdated. It may have been clean but because of the bedding and everything else it felt dirty. The stool didn’t work half the time. The rugs in the place were out right gross. Oven was broke. A lot of lights were out in bath and it was very dark. This place had great ratings and I think it’s because of location. The sheets on bed were like the ones my grandmas would of had and very thin. I could go on and on. I hate giving bad reviews but really feel that people need to know how bad it was. The pool area was very nice and the ground were also. I just think the owner doesn't want to put in money into the place and hasn’t since the early 60’s. When I shared this with him he was like everyone loves the place. Also I am not someone who has to have a 5 star place. But this place was way below any place I would ever stay had I known how bad it really was. Good thing is we just stayed gone. No AC so during the day it was way to hot to be there. Nights were livable. Nick is great to work with but in denial as to how bad the place is.
