On top of the Ocean Hideaway - Mermaid's Palace on Maui

Welcome to Kaimana at Pohailani Maui! Enjoy amazing ocean views, sunsets, wildlife watching, and neighbor island views of Molokai and Lanai from this well provisioned condo located on West Maui.

We are located so close to the ocean you could throw a stone into the waves. So close, it is as if you are on a boat! Take advantage of Maui living on your private lanai (balcony), as well as spectacular ocean views extending down the coast.

The main living area has full ocean views and is very comfortable. Accented with tropical hardwoods, this studio has a comfortable Queen sized bed and Queen sized sofa sleeper.

A nice lanai allows you to expand the living area outdoors for full indoor/outdoor living in your private oasis. Dine in with the best ocean view.

Whale watch, gaze out over the sea, or just listen to the waves. Relax and enjoy paradise. Peace and tranquility define this cozy condo by the sea.

Kaimana is fully furnished with a full kitchen and bath, and has everything you need to enjoy gracious island living, just bring your swimsuit and toothbrush! We have all the linens, towels, beach equipment (boogie board, beach chairs, beach umbrella) and kitchen gadgets you may want.

The condo is stocked with quality appointments. The sheets are 100% Egyptian cotton, the towels 100% cotton, and the bed is a plush Simmons BeautyRest. This condo is set up as your own home.

Complete with a new full kitchen and new bathroom with a walk-in shower, Kaimana has all the touches of home for you to enjoy your stay after sightseeing around Maui.

Kahana is located North of historic Lahaina town, between Kaanapali and Kapalua resorts, and is a half mile from a grocery store, shops, and a farmers market. World class resorts, famous beaches, championship golf courses, and even ferry rides to Lanai and Molokai are within 15 minutes driving time or less. Pohailani sits on 8 acres of tropical landscaping. We invite you to enjoy our piece of paradise.

Beautiful room with beautiful view!!

Mermaids Palace was wonderful!! This place is a perfect location and beautiful view, we could hear the ocean every night we slept with the door open. This was a great location for everything we did. Foodshopping was about 20 min away and made breakfast some mornings, the condo was well stocked. We at breakfast one morning at the Gazebo down the road and that was amazing food and view!! We loved the road to Hana and the sunset on Haleakalā were perfect. The condo was also stocked with a small cooler for the beach, chairs and an unbrella. What a beautiful memorable place!!

No Ka Oi!

This small condo in Kahala was perfect for the two of us. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, and away from the more densely populated areas of Maui. Anything you need is close by, including swimming/snorkeling beaches, groceries and plenty ono grindz. The condo is nicely furnished and the bed is very comfortable. The A/C cools the place quickly, and opening the windows allows for cooling breezes. Absolutely recommend for 2 people.

The place was great and clean, although it looked dated outside, Had everything we needed. The only negative was the ocean view. There were 3 palm trees in front of the unit, their leaves obstructed the view.

Super sweet studio

First time to Maui and this was definitely a great place to stay. The host was attentive and amazing, very communicative for any kind of questions. It was exactly as advertised (actually better, because the oceans at your door and you can see the sunset on the porch). Everything you need for your stay is there too. Thanks again!!
