We loved this condo. Truly a great place to rest and relax. We felt even the stretch of beach this condo sits on was perfect, not over crowded or rocky. The pool and restaurant was convenient too. The condo was very clean and decorated in a modern style with hawaiin flare. We would definitely come here again.

This studio looks just like in the pictures. The bathroom area was very spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. There were 3 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas (one was broken, but we didn’t realize it until our last day - not a big deal as we were able to figure out a way to make it work). The morning coffee in the lobby was much appreciated and quite good! The walk to the beach was 3-4 minutes, which was nice! We enjoyed our stay!

This condo is only steps to North Kaanapali beaches and has great snorkeling with fish and turtles, swimming, beach walks, and wonderful views of offshore islands. It’s heaven to stay here, and Jeanne is a delightful host, very friendly and accessible, and she gave us a gift basket of goodies and orchids all around, even a lei. You can swim in the pools, play shuffleboard, cook your own food or eat at Castaways restaurant. I started each day by walking the tranquil beach at dawn, and spent more days on the beach. Lots of aloha spirit here! Diane and Jim from Colorado

Were in Maui for the third time. This time celebrating our 35th anniversary. Maui never disappoints and this property was fantastic. Will be looking to book here again when we come back.

We stayed at this beautiful condo for 4 days while attending a wedding and couldn't be happier with it and the Maui Kaanapali Villas complex. The 180 degree view of the ocean from both rooms was fantastic and the Castaways restaurant was ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We utilized the complementary trolley to travel to the Whalers Village for shopping and eating. Dan was an outstanding host who was available if needed. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Maui!

The view from the shaded porch is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch each day as well as having our dinner at sunset. The condo is also conveniently located to the pool and beach.

It was a wonderful stay! The room is great, king bed good 4th floor. View not fantastic, but who stays in room? Elevator to floor. Fresh beach towels as needed. Mini fridge, microwave. The beach is awesome! Great snorkeling at reef near by and out at Black rock. Pool is really nice, grounds are great

This was our first time staying in a condo in Maui. We normally stay at a hotel/resort on the south side of Black Rock but now that we've stayed north of Black Rock we actually prefer the north side due to how laid back, quiet, and relaxing it was. The beaches and paths were less crowded and there are more shade trees along the beach and the resort to get a break from the sun when needed. The staff at the resort were all friendly and helpful. The resort has complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate every morning in the lobby. There is also a library of books, games, and a ping pong table available. Our condo was clean and nicely furnished. The kitchen had every tool that you would need to prepare meals, drinks, etc. There were beach chairs umbrella, snorkel gear, and even a few beach toys for small children in the closet. We will definitely stay here again in the future. Thank you Barbara for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

Beautifully furnished, comfortable beds, very clean. Great pool and cafe. The fresh pineapple and coffee was a nice start to our stay. Thank you!

My husband and I were so pleased with this condo. The unit was decorated very nicely and so well stocked with everything we needed. The kitchen had nice dishes, pots, pans, literally everything you would want for cooking a meal. The appliances were spotless. We appreciated having basic spices and condiments provided so we didn’t have to buy those things. The owners also have beach umbrellas and chairs for guests to use. Having a second full bathroom was a real plus. There was plenty of storage and closet space for our things. The bed was super comfortable with nice sheets and bedding. There was a lot of natural light which made the space bright and cheerful. Of course, the best thing was the gorgeous view of the beach and ocean!! What a pleasure it was to wake up to that view every morning. The location was great as well. It was an easy drive from the airport with plenty of grocery stores available along the way and near the condo. A trolley was available to take us to Whaler’s Village where there were some high end shops and nice restaurants. The owner, Dan, was very responsive to questions and even found us a place where we could play pickle ball! Thank you, Dan, for the sweet welcome gift and for all you did to make this a special vacation for us!!

Second time renting from Jennifer because she is awesome. This is the perfect room if you don’t want to cook and just want a GREAT location. Will be back soon. The only suggestion would be to update bedding and pillows. Mahalo!

This was our 3rd trip to Maui, our 6th accommodation, and I can safely say that this was the best experience we’ve had so far. I obsess over details to find high value gems on the island and I grantee this condo punches well above its weight.

Came back for our 5th wedding anniversary and it was just as great as the first time we stayed here. Will continue to book here as it’s a perfect location at our favorite resort.

We love the Maui Kaanapali Villas and decided to rent through this property management company instead of the hotel for this stay. The room was in a great location and the lanai was very private as there were plants directly in front. The room was great, however I gave the cleanliness a three star because the dishes were not clean upon arrival and the bathroom had some weird looking stuff on the wall. The wall probably just needs touch up paint. We had to purchase some of our own cleaning supplies as well. Overall, this was a great place to stay and we would return to this unit.

Beautiful view and very clean. Loved the lanai. The refrigerator was huge. Very complete kitchen. The pool was nice and loved having the Castaway Restaurant right on the premises. We will stay there again. The only thing that was hard was in the kitchen area it was dark even with the lights on, that could be my old eyes.

August 2024

Love, love, love this resort and George and Cynthia's unit is one of the best we've stayed in there. Proximity to pool and beach is fantastic. The EXTRA FIRM bed is so comfortable that I'm ordering the same mattress for myself at home! I will definitely be looking to stay in this unit again.

Sorry for the late response! This is a wonderful condo with a fantastic modern kitchen, spectacular location on what we consider the nicest stretch of beach in Kaanapali/Kahekili. We've stayed at the hotel many times before in a number of different condos. This is one of the most luxurious and there's nothing like walking out from the patio directly onto the beach or seeing the sunset directly from the condo. Great immediate communication with condo owner to answer questions about booking. I can't praise highly enough the overall experience.

This property was perfect for our family of 4 (including 2 teens). It was spacious and the beds were very comfortable- even the pull-out was pretty good. The kitchen was large and so was the bathroom and separate bedroom. The property is also amazing- best beach in Maui and beautiful pool near the beach. Excellent vacation- highly recommend it.

Once again we loved staying at this unit. We always enjoy walking in the door and seeing all the personal touches the owner makes: from the welcome basket, fresh lei on the bed and chocolates on the pillows. The unit is spotless and location is great. We cannot wait until next year.

My husband and I have stayed at Maui Ka’anapali Villas many times before and this particular unit was our favorite! The view of the ocean and pool was spectacular! The kitchen was so modern and had everything we needed to cook our own meals. The separate one bedroom allowed my husband to stay up late and watch tv, while I slept soundly. We appreciated the superb communication with manager Gina. She answered all our questions within a matter of seconds. I highly recommend this unit!

My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our stay at MKV, the third vacation there for our family. The condo was the perfect size for the two of us, and very well equipped. The owner was very helpful, providing information on transportation etc. We love the MKV resort, beautiful well kept grounds and facilities and a lovely, uncrowded beach. Looking forward to another trip to MKV in the future. Mahalo

My husband and I loved celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at this property. This beautiful beach unit looks right out to the sandy beach. We lounged on the beach or grassy area overlooking the water as we sipped our morning coffee. We would definitely return to this amazing location!

Yes the reviews are right that it is old but I don’t think it was unclean just some of the cracks that come with age. The property is absolutely stunning with the beach, the pool and cafe all steps away. It is a giant shared space essentially with a sliding divider between the bedroom and living room.

My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time! From start to finish, everything was just perfect. The location was ideal, offering breathtaking views! The rental itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Moreover, the communication with the host was seamless. They were responsive and accommodating, ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. We can't wait to return!

Sitting out on the lanai looking over the property, pool and ocean just gave me the feel that I was someplace VERY special and "old school". It is NOT a fussy resort, but rather a lush laid back comfort. Great people watching from this room. Nicely appointed with updated pots/pans, soft towels, subzero fridge/icemaker, adjustable bed. It was just a lovely stay. Owner was very easy to communicate with while on trip.
Jenny G.
July 2024

Our stay here was perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for while here for a wedding. Conveniently located one stoplight away from Whalers Village. The beach was a short 5 minute or less walk down the path. Great way to wake up to coffee on the lanai with birds chirping and a view of the beautiful flowers. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We found chairs and umbrella in the closet for the beach. We slept well on the upstairs bed and our teens slept well on the Murphy beds downstairs. We would definitely stay here again!
