Communication from the owner was clear and comprehensive.
Overall the condo is excellent.
The bed in the bedroom is comfortable and our daughters really appreciated the Murphy beds in the living room. They are a huge upgrade over a sofa bed.
The property is well maintained. The BBQs are excellent, and the hot tub was great on the cool evenings.

This place is so close to everything yet far enough away from the big resorts that it makes for a very peaceful vacation. All the other people on the other condos were friendly, courteous and respectful. The pool and hot tub are situated in the middle overlooking the ocean where you can relax and watch the sun set.

The murphy beds are much more convenient for a family than a pull out couch would be.

Definitely a paradise. The property was great, it had everything a person requires for a restful vacation. Unfortunately our stay was cut short do to the fires. We highly recommend the location.

We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described, clean, and completely stocked with all supplies including towels and a full kitchen. The location is great and being able to see the sunset from the the backyard was a nice surprise. We snorkeled right from the property, and one of the highlights of the trip was swimming with turtles there! It is like having your own private bay and beach to enjoy. Everyone was so nice and a shout-out to Eric the property manager who was always working to make the grounds and pool manicured and inviting. Great stay!

This condo was perfect for our family of 4. Banana bread and pog provided a nice welcome. The Murphy beds were great for our college aged kids. The sunsets were beautiful to watch just a few steps down from the lanai. There was always a breeze to keep the place cool. The pool and grounds were great as well. We would definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful complex and a perfect place to stay for our family of 4. This condo had everything we wanted to be comfortable including twin beds for our kids to have their own space. We were a little worried about no A/C, but the windows and doors opened to allow for a great cross breeze that cooled the unit down quickly. It was well stocked with items for the beach; chairs, umbrellas, towels and a cooler. We brought our own snorkeling gear, but there were masks at the property and we could’ve easily rented some (we rented some boogie boards). The pool was well-kept and a daily favorite for our kids. From the lanai we could see the ocean and had excellent views of whales passing by. There is a small beach just to the left of the property where we saw turtles. The location is great, walkable to a grocery store and food trucks (about a mile away) and minutes away from Ka’anapali beaches and Lahaina by car (we rented one for the week). The host was super helpful and responsive to our questions. We were sad to leave and are looking forward to when we can return, hopefully soon!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sunsets in Paradise a lot. The apartment is nice and functional and had everything we needed. The community grounds are very nice too with direct access to the ocean and a wonderful view.
A great place I'd definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay as a family with 2 small kiddos (Ages 4 and 2). This complex is incredible! The property is beautifully located on the ground floor with a walk out lanai that takes you right out to the pool/hot tub and the ocean view! We would watch the turtles swimming in the waves every morning!
The unit comes with everything you will need for the beach, including beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and even kids beach toys! There are also some lawn games, pool inflatables and goggles, and games and cards to play!
This complex is very clean and quiet and perfect for families and couples alike. It is perfectly nestled between Kahana and Kaanapali. The beach at Kahana is within walking distance and the beautiful beaches at Kaanapali are just a short 10-15 minute bus ride away. The bus stop is right outside the complex!! We did not rent a car and found that the bus served us perfectly fine for getting back and forth from Kaanapali (note the bus comes once per hour). Bus fare is $2 for adults, $1 for seniors, and free for kids.
We loved our stay here and will absolutely be back!

This property is amazing. My family enjoyed our morning tea/coffee looking out the ocean. Pool and jacuzzi were right in front of the property as well as the grilling station. Watching the sunsets were one of the highlights of our stay. It was so great sleeping while listening to the water hitting the rocks. Definitely paradise. We will come back and would want to stay in this property again. Thank you Beth!

What a great property! The sunsets are truly awesome. This unit and the whole property is well-kept. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need without clutter. There is no a.c and the days can get warm, so just be aware of that. We loved having it open with the breeze blowing through. You do hear people talking etc as the noise really carries. . The only thing I would like to have had was better pillows. They’re pretty flat. We loved staying here and would definitely do so agsin.

This condo was in a great location in west Maui for a reasonable price, and the views were amazing (especially the sunsets). It was comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. The pool and grounds were very nice as well. It’s right on the water, but it’s a rocky non accessible beach. But, there were many sandy beaches within just a few minutes drive. We liked airport beach and Ka’anapali Beach. It did look like some tenants would walk down the rocks to maybe get to water access close by. I sprained my ankle early on in the week, so we didn’t investigate. Be sure to bring quarter rolls if you plan to do laundry! The washers and dryers are $2 each. I forgot to bring some, and we arrived on a holiday weekend after several days in Oahu at a hotel. We had a lot of laundry to do, but banks were closed for a couple of days, and we had trouble finding places to get quarters. Once the bank opened on Tuesday we were good (it’s less than a mile away), but it would be a good idea to just bring some if you plan to do laundry. The only other thing I can think of is the reminder that there is no air conditioning in this condo, which we discovered is common in Hawaii. We knew this ahead of time, and it wasn’t a big problem for us. We were there in July, and we only got hot a couple of times, when we were there during the heat of the day. Most of the time, we were either out or by the pool during peak heat times. We slept comfortably at night with the windows open and the cool breeze blowing through. Again, it wasn’t a big deal for us, but if you are very hot natured, it might be something to consider. All in all, it’s a wonderful place, and we would definitely stay there again!

Wow! What an amazing piece of heaven! We feel so lucky to have found this gem in Maui. We loved everything about this place and would definitely recommend and return again. The lanai, yard, and the pool were definitely a favorite for or family.

We had a blast. My grandchildren enjoyed the pool and the lush green grounds. We had beautiful beach nearby and the pool was amazing. The owner was very communicative and everything was perfect for our stay. Very beautiful place, great place to stay near Napili. Lots of turtles to see from the rocky beach on the property. Highly recommended!

The property as everything you need and is in a great location. Several things are close by for those that do not have transportation. The property managers were great and quick to communicate when asking questions. Would recommend this property to anyone and would book again.

My family (husband, myself, 7 year old and 1 year old) stayed at Polynesian Shores for 7 days and it was wonderful. The ocean is right outside your door and so is the pool. It is a very family friendly community. My daughter met lots of friends on this trip as there were many other young families staying. The property is beautiful and very well maintained.
There were sand toys provided and although we didn’t use them, there was snorkeling gear as well. When we go back to Maui we will definitely stay here again!
Tip for parents traveling with kids: have an insta cart order delivered and dropped at your door if you’re arriving late.

The condo was just right for our family and you can’t beat watching the sun set from the hot tub! We were worried about not having a/c, but it wasn’t an issue at all.

The property was better than pictures or description! The property is beautiful, clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The best was morning coffee watching the whales showing off. Beth, the host was great to work with. She was very responsive when we had issues with the key pad. She has an on site person to help, but the neighbors were so sweet and helped us. The condo has everything you need to enjoy the island including all the outdoor stuff. There were chairs, an umbrella as well as beach toys and boogey boards. Even though we didn't have to use it, she even had a cooler for use. We will definitely stay here again. Again Mahalo Beth and Leslie. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here during a one week vacation for a friends wedding. The condo was very clean and had everything that we needed that we could not bring with us. The view from the patio was beautiful and we spent most mornings and evenings before and after our excursions relaxing to the ocean waves (and even got to see whales and turtles!). The neighbors and other visitors were very friendly and gave us tips on places to visit and restaurants to eat at. We definetly recommend, and hope to visit again and bring our children with - they would love the pool and hot tub.
Thank you for making our first of hopefully many visits to Maui exceptional!

Our stay was perfect. The condo was well stocked and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable and condo was very clean. We enjoyed amazing sunsets and the pool/hot tub every night. The BBQ's were immaculate and looked new. Definitely would recommend this property and we will be back on our next Maui vacation!

Great place in a great neighborhood. Loved the complex it was a part of... Not too big, with a pool, hot tub, grills, and tables overlooking the beautiful ocean for GREAT sunsets. Many people I spoke to return to this complex annually and I understand why.

We loved every minute of our stay. The view is incredible. Turtles and great snorkeling right out the back door. The property is beautiful. It was also very convenient there was snorkel gear, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrella and even a cooler for our use. Fully stocked kitchen and use of bbq made meals cheap and easy. We will definitely be back.

We had such an amazing stay at Beths condo. It was very comfortable and was in a perfect location. We really enjoyed hanging out on the property and snorkeling with the turtles right out the back door. A few minutes drive to many beaches to the north and south and 10 mins to Lahaina. We had such a great time. It felt like our home away from home. We will be back for sure!

We loved our stay at Sunsets in Paradise. The place was perfect for our family. Was surprised to find the pull out couch was comfortable and outdoor/beach toys available. We made use of the snorkel gear, cooler, beach chairs and the paddle board set. We enjoyed the BBQ grills and meeting the other guests out having dinner and watching the sunset.

Great lil unit with a stunning view from back patio. Only feet away from the shared pool and jacuzzi and having direct ocean frontage was amazing. Grilled outside watching the sunset and had short drive to some great beaches. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will be back

The grounds here are gorgeous with swaying palms, well-kept grassy area and pool, and the ocean view which includes Molokai and Lanai'i is incredible and only several yards away the back patio. The condo was well-equipped with cooking supplies and with beach gear, snorkels and towels/linens. We saw turtles in the water almost every time we looked out, and my kids and I enjoyed looking for shells, swimming in the nice pool outside, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding right out there. We wish the DVD player had blu-ray, but overall we enjoyed the place immensely. Most of the folks staying at Polynesian Shores condos were retired people, and super-friendly. So much to do on the West Coast of Maui too! Thank you Beth for a great stay!

My partner and I spent a perfect week at Beth's condo in early spring. The location is right on the water, so we watched the turtles, fish, and whales from shore. We also utilized the full BBQ and kitchen each day--walking to a local fish market three or four times that week to buy fresh fish to enjoy (and, a larger grocery store is close by). It is also in a great location to make it to all of Maui's "off-site" places--we had dinner at Mama's Fish House, we went down to Wailea to do a long kayak off the Makena Landing, and we went to "town" for our tropical frozen drinks fix (oh, and delicious breakfast after kayaking). We even realized as we were boarding the plane back to frosty Chicago that we had left a fleece on the deck. Within an hour, Beth had contacted her cleaning folks, located the fleece, and made arrangements for it to make its way back to us. While it was a silly little fleece, it is touches like that that really make you appreciate people!

Beth's condo was absolutely perfect for our vacation. It was very clean and stocked with every tool anyone could need (although, a separate container to take out the recycling would have been handy). We got a kick out of how all of the towels and paper products were folded when we arrived. There was so much attention to detail. The sea turtles came to visit everyday and it was heaven to watch them swimming and sunning. It was whale season so we could sit on the grass and watch the whales breaching and blowing. The sun seemed to set right on our spot. We slept with the windows open and could hear the surf crashing all night long. Even when the sprinklers came on late night, the water would hit the foliage and it sounded like gentle rain. We liked being on this side of the island even though it was a drive to go to the "touristy" things. Still, the drive around the island was always lovely. There was a special comradery among all the families staying in the condos and everyone was friendly and social. We met fellow travelers and shared recipes at the BBQ which was fun. The grounds were well kept and the maintenance guy was always busy taking care of everything. Apparently the sandy beach had washed away, which was no problem for us because we explored the island each day and there were plenty of sandy beaches nearby. We loved being on this side of the island and would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Beth, for sharing your beautiful island home with us! Regarding touristy things... Honolua Bay snorkeling, Trilogy whale watch, sunrise at Haleakala (very cold outside) were highlights. Road to Hana was fun too, but that is a long day trip and it is a kind of "kick back and enjoy the view" ride. Huli huli chicken from a food truck is a must! And Lulu's serves a great local Hawaii breakfast. If you are a Costco member, go there to see what gift card deals they have for local food and activities.

We just got home after a very spontaneous trip to Maui for Spring Break. Beth was so incredibly accommodating and such a lovely person to make arrangements with either by phone or e-mail while we sorted out our flights. We are thrilled to have found such a perfect place to stay while we explored the island with our teenage daughters. The kitchen is well equipped (and so nice and clean!) with great full sized appliances and every utensil, pan or dish you would ever need to make a great home cooked meal. Having a BBQ in such close proximity was a bonus as well. The King sized bed ensured we were well rested for the days adventure, it was so comfy! It was lovely to wake up every morning to a chorus of tropical birds. Maybe this would not be a positive point for some people but for me it just added to the whole experience. The sofa bed that our daughters slept on was adequate, but Beth made sure we were well aware of that when we were making inquiries. There were plenty of beach items as well, chairs, umbrella, toys, coolers - everything to ensure you weren't constantly having to run to the store for "things". The grounds are beautifully maintained, as are the BBQ's and pool. My favourite part about Polynesian Shores is that it has such a lovely sense of community. Every evening we would all emerge from our separate units and gather on the lawn in anticipation of the sunset and the ritual lighting of the torches. It is a beautiful, quiet setting perfect for families of all ages. I would return here without any hesitation and hope to very soon!

The condo was beautifully furnished and decorated. A real home!! Everything we needed was provided (dish liquid, and dishwasher powder, shampoo and conditioner, towels and beach towels) and everything "worked" (coffeemaker, toaster, tvs). It's a beautiful spot, convenient to Lahaina (10 minutes) groceries, restaurants and shopping. Beaches too. Gorgeous sunsets. Friendly neighbors - many from Canada . Clean and very comfortable inside and out. Made me wonder why it took me so long to get to Hawaii. We could see the whales from the property!! Morning coffee on the lanai and evening cocktail with the sunset. Heaven!!

The condo was well equipped everything you need is there. I liked the property the bbqs were spotless Jeff the caretaker takes pride in keeping things spotless. The ocean was right in your face could hear it from the bedroom which was a plus when going to sleep to the sound of the waves.
Everyone staying there was friendly the sunsets were beautiful. Nice place if you want a quiet relaxed atomosphere which fit the bill for us.

This has been our second year at this lovely condo.
Each year brings new improvements and Beth, the owner, is very responsive to our every need.
The ocean view is breath taking with 2 islands seen in the distance, spotless grounds, BBQs,
clean and spacious gated pool and wonderful visitors, owners and renters who live on the greater property.
There is a nice beach past the left side of the property and past the right side are many turtles that can be seen sleeping at low tide.
Lahaina is a great town, a few miles down the road, full of great food, clothing, entertainment and trinkets in which we spend many hours.
Visit Hana, Kaanapali, Kahului, Kihei and Paia for all the reasons you want to come to the wondrous island of Maui and don't forget to
go snorkeling at the islands of Lanai, Molokai and the partially sunken crater of Molokini.
We have made many friends and look forward to our third monthly stay next year.
The only problem is competition for reservations in our time slot due to all of the 100 % positive reviews.
Aloha and Mahalo nui loa to you Beth for another memorable stay!

Thank you Beth for the stay at your place. Your condo had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Being in the middle of great beaches and snorkeling spots kept traveling to a minimum...more fun time. Having markets close by was a big plus as well. Maui being as expensive as it is for dining had us cooking our own food. Having BBQ just steps from your place made it so enjoyable dining and watching the beautiful sunsets with the other guest. That sense of community at your place made our vacation. This is the first time we made friends on a vacation. Did I mention the private beaches, snorkeling just steps away? How about seeing turtles crawl up the beach and sleep...... every day? Beth you have an awesome place. We will be back. much mahalos...

Having spent a month staying at Beth's condo in Maui, we absolutely must return year after year. So comfortable, with superb rattan furniture with which I fell in love, with beach access right outside the front door, sea turtles visiting during high tide every day, and snorkel beaches all up and down the coast only minutes from the condo, this place is perfect for anyone who loves the water. If not, the views, the sunsets, and access to everything Hawaiian, along with the quiet atmosphere of Polynesian Shores should provide plenty of downtime to relax. We will be back.

We loved our stay at Beth's lovely condo. All the comforts of home are provided in this clean, nicely decorated condo. The view is beautiful and we enjoyed the gorgeous sunsets each evening. We had our breakfast out on the lanai each morning, gazing out toward the ocean and planning our day. The grounds are very well kept, with lots of flowers and benches for looking out at the ocean. It was so fun to watch the turtles swimming at the beach. The location is great - the complex is quiet and peaceful, but only minutes from Lahaina. Beth provides lots of extras like snorkel gear, beach towels, umbrellas, etc. She was very responsive to our questions and very easy to work with. This was our last stay of a 3 island vacation and it was a perfect way to end our trip to Paradise!
