Aloha, and Welcome to Maui Kaanapali Villas. We provide beach gear for your use. Masks, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, ice chest and a wagon to take it all to the beach
We are delighted to offer our villa in the authentic feeling of “Old Hawaii” with all the comfort and conveniences of modern day. The pale yellow imperial plaster walls cast a warm inviting light throughout the Villa.

A full kitchen with Granite counter tops, dishwasher, stainless steel ceramic cook top stove, microwave oven and large refrigerator make cooking a pleasure and clean up a breeze.

Experience the wonderful feeling of exotic polished Hawaiian river rock under foot in the kitchen and shower room and natural bamboo flooring throughout the rest of the villa. No need for shoes here! We provide luxurious linens, bath and beach towels.
Our Villa is tucked away in the most private corner of the Maui Kaanapali Villas beautiful 11 acre resort . You will experience the feeling of privacy, yet not be far from all there is to explore at our resort and beyond. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens you are only steps away from the more private of the two pools and Jacuzzi’s on the property. At night the tiki torches in the gardens provide the perfect romantic ambiance for the villa and your private lanai.

With our fully equipped kitchen you can prepare your meals and dine inside at our beautiful carved rosewood table or out on the lanai. Don’t feel like cooking? The convenience of The Cast Away Restaurant and bar located beach front at our resort is the perfect place to dine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With their award winning wine collection, island style cuisine and friendly staff you will be sure to be delighted.

From our villa it is only a short two minute stroll through the exotic tropical gardens to the pristine white sands of the world famous Kaanapali Beach. There you will find the beach shack with all your water sport and cabana rentals. Right in front of the villa, and a short walk down the beach to Black Rock, provides you with two of the best snorkeling reefs on Maui. Lots of turtles and fish in their natural habitat to swim among.

Pull up a lounge chair on the grassy area fronting the beach to watch the nightly colorful sunsets, or stroll the boardwalk along the beach to discover restaurants bars and more.

At Maui Kaanapali Villas we offer a free trolley to venture to the other side of Black Rock to the Whalers Village. There you will find shops, restaurants, hotels and lots of activity.

There is an additional facility fee of $25 + taxes per day paid directly to Maui Kaanapali Villas upon check in.

We look forward to sharing our hale (home)with you.

The Harper-Council Family

 Aloha – like many Hawaiian words, it has multiple meanings. While it is commonly used to say hello, good-bye and to express love, the beauty of the word comes through when it is broken down into the foundation root words.
 
Alo means to share in the present moment. Oha is joy. Ha is life energy Therefore Aloha translates to meaning “The joyful sharing of life energy in the present” or “joyfully sharing life.”  Viewed another way, Aloha means living in harmony.

We have stayed here twice, both visits were great. The location is perfect for a relaxing get away… the pool is only steps from the lanai, and the beach is a short walk from there. We look to return again next year!

This is a great rental unit. You can tell a lot of care goes into this place. Great location on Maui. Thanks so much for letting us stay!

The room was so clean, well stocked with everything we might need and so quiet. We loved not being around all the hustle and bustle of whalers village but close enough to walk there if we wanted. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you Jeanne for a wonderful stay. We felt so welcomed by all the personal touches. We enjoyed the basket with wine and local treats, and the fresh flower/greenery garnishments throughout the spotless unit. The decor is inviting and cozy and the bed is very comfortable. It was so nice to have use of the wagon full of beach gear, especially the chairs. This unit had everything we needed and more. Nice location on the property, adjacent to one of the pools and a short walk through the property to the uncrowded beach. We've been staying at MKV for the past 10 years and this is our new favorite unit, loved the old Hawaii vibes!

The unit was very clean, cozy and beautifully appointed. We loved bed the nice welcome basket of goodies and the charming special touches, like orchid blossoms placed on the towels and little candies wrapped in tropical leaves and flowers on the bed. There were potted orchids growing in several locations, so it really felt like a special tropical getaway. Communication with the host was excellent too!

Host did a great job making us feel welcomed. The supply of beach gear and wagon to pull it was a great touch in addition to the welcome setup. There is a slight walk to the beach but not bad and easy to navigate (especially with the wagon provided). A pool right out back and a larger one just off the beach with the restaurant. Only issue was tried to call host before leaving to discuss leftover groceries. Checkout procedure only referenced towels and dishes and didn't want to waste unopened food if cleaning staff would use it. Was unable to reach Jeanne that morning to confirm whether it was ok to leave it or to throw it away. Left is since checkout procedures didn't specify anything on the subject and was unable to reach Jeanne. Great location and setup and would stay again. Very nice.

We have stayed in this lodging 5 times now and will return again if it is available. It feels like our little private paradise each time. Thank you Jeanne

We were very pleased and impressed! This was the cleanest and best appointed VRBO we've ever rented. Everything was very clean and organized. Fresh flower lei, fresh flower garlands on towels and pillows, a chocolate wrapped in a palm leaf on the pillows with the flower, a welcome basket of local treats coffee and wine was left for us. These were above and beyond the usual expectation and made us feel so welcome and at home. Plentiful essentials supply organized in a bathroom drawer. Kitchen well stocked. Mattress was comfortable. Parking convenient and available. Nice beach a short walk away. Beach essentials provided in a nice foldable wagon. Very nice gated pool and hot tub right out the lanai door. A short drive to restaurants in Lahaina. Pleasant resort neighborhood. We could not have been more pleased! We will definitely seek to stay here again in the future.

Our first time staying in a VRBO condo in Hawaii after several other vacations in hotels, and the accommodations and location were perfect for a relaxing Hawaiian vacation!

The property is an oasis of peace in the midst of tourist busy Kaanapali. The condo is meticulously decorated in “Old Hawaii” theme and every daily living need has been thought of and provided.

This was our second stay at Maui Kaanapalli Villas, and our 1st stay in Jeanne’s beautiful condo! It was even better than VRBO pics and description! Wow, it had everything one could possibly need and the welcome gift basket, flower lei, and extra special touches throughout were icing on the cake. I’m ready to book for next year! Thank you Jeanne for everything! Mahalo! 🌺🌴🐠😊

This has to be the best setup VRBO we have ever stayed at. It had everything we needed and then some. The patio was perfect and very close to the smaller pool which was much quieter than the larger pool and perfect for chilling after some time in the ocean. We would definitely stay here again.l

I’ve stayed at 3 different units at this property and the experience with this unit was by far the best. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub just a few feet from the patio and often had it all to ourselves. The wagon full of beach tools/toys made it easy to just grab what we needed or take the whole wagon. When one of the fins ripped the owner brought a new pair within hours which was very gracious. The property is located on north kaanapali beach which has a nice snorkeling reef. For years I’ve heard the snorkeling was best at black rock so finally I went there on this trip. Nope, it’s better north of the rock near this property. Added on to this is the marvelous beachwalk/boardwalk which you can walk for miles— and we did each morning. i definitely recommend this unit which has everything you need for a paradise getaway. Mahalo

MKV is always a great stay for us. This suite was the best we've ever stayed at when visiting Maui, full of lovely touches for our arrival, including a gift basket. The thoughtfulness and care for the unit were greatly appreciated. Mahalo!



June 2022
We absolutely loved our stay here! Jeanne provided everything we could’ve needed - all of the beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards), plenty of towels/linens, and all the kitchen necessities. The room was also pristine upon arrival. When we had a minor maintenance issue, Jeanne was quick to respond and resolve it for us! We loved this room and would recommend it to everyone! We can’t wait to come back someday!



May 2022
We had a wonderful week staying at Jeanne’s unit at MKV. We were already staying on property and Jeanne let us drop off our refrigerated items while the unit was being cleaned, very nice. When we returned later in the day and checked in the unit was ready to go! Clean, tidy and ready for our stay. There was a wonderful gift basket filled with all things good!!! flowers throughout making for a welcome home feeling. We enjoyed our week once again here on Maui and look forward to our next visit (25 years and counting) I would recommend this unit with high marks and not hesitate to stay here in the future! Aloha and Mahalo M & J Lake Oswego, Oregon

We had such a lovely time in Maui. Jeanne helped make it happen. Her property is perfect as an home base for island discovery or spending a day at the beach. The condo is super clean and the attention to detail is amazing. Everything from ottomans covered in gecko print, beautiful linens, fresh orchids everywhere, a welcome basket with local goodies, and well stocked kitchen. Plus my favorite, a beach wagon packed with a great umbrella, boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, an insulated day cooler, and even pool noodles. The wagon was an amazing detail that made trips down to the beach a breeze. I would definitely stay here again. My only suggestion would be privacy sheers or reflective film on the sliding glass doors. They face the pool gate. You either have to have the drapes closed or be okay with people looking in your place when your hanging out. But all in all a great Maui experience.

This villa was the perfect place for our stay on Maui. As the reviews have mentioned, the villa was stocked with snacks upon our arrival which was a nice touch. There were native flowers spread throughout the villa to really make you feel the Aloha spirit. The location to the 2nd pool and spa in the resort were also very convenient since the entrance is maybe 30 feet from the lanai. This is a fantastic location and very close to a large beach as well. We would definitely consider this villa again should we return to Maui in the future.

This was a beautiful place to stay! We enjoyed every minute of it. We had everything we needed and then some. The welcome package was awesome and we thoroughly enjoyed the yummy things and appreciated the thoughtful presentations that filled the rooms. Flowers everywhere--a lovely touch. We were delightfully surprised with the outdoor play toys cart. It had everything! The pictures on the listing were everything I dreamed of when we booked it from home and we were not at all disappointed in any way when we got there. This is an amazing property and the host made it perfect with all the extra touches. We love this place!

The owner provided several little enhancements to this property to make us feel more at home and better enjoy our stay, such as Gift basket, several orchids around the room, beach enhancements in an easy pull wagon, and Maui information. We really enjoyed our facilities.

Place is just as stated. Probably the best supplied VRBO we have ever stayed at, complete with beach chairs, umbrella and ice chest.

We absolutely loved staying at this condo. The description and pictures were exactly as depicted. The fresh flowers were a beautiful touch and the welcome basket was exceptional. The condo was clean, quiet and bright. We loved the location next to the pool with less action and the use of the kitchen for breakfasts and the grills for dinners. Also really handy was the wagon to wheel to beach with beach chairs, umbrella, buggy board and snorkel equipment. We very much enjoyed our stay and we look forward to coming back next year!

Jeanne had everything needed to make your trip awesome...chairs for the beach, cooler, umbrella, towels and a little wagon to carry it all down to whatever beach you wanted. Condo is in an excellent location just steps from the pool

Every detail was perfect. One thing I could mention is that the air conditioner was rather loud, and seemed to aim directly to my head in bed.

The place was exactly as described in the listing and better. Jeanne has thought of everything as it is very well stocked for anything you would need. The welcome basket was a nice surprise after our 12 hours of travel to get there. The patio is a great spot for coffee in the morning. The property is in a central location for the beach and exploring (i.e. the road to Hana and Haleakala). Oh and fresh orchids in the unit! All made for a wonderful ambience. Jeanne was a great host. The airlines had switched our arrival and departure dates and luckily she was able to accommodate us. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Jeanne!

My husband & I came our by ourselves for a change to relax. This place, villa 162, was absolutely beautiful. We felt very comfortable and warmly welcomed. We liked that it was away from the hustle & bustle. All the homey touches, pictures, books, live orchids. Everything was top notch. And the welcome basket was super nice, thank you so much Jeanne, we will definitely be back to see you soon.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon right after we got married in Maui. Jeanne remembered that in an email and had a nice card congratulating us with a nice bottle of champagne. All the small touches to the room made us feel right at home. The room had everything we needed and more! We will definitely be coming back to stay here soon!

Your home away from home! A beautiful villa in the heart of the Kaanapali beach area of Lahina. Upon entering the villa, you are welcomed with beautiful finishes, a lovley gift basket filled with locally made goodies and steps away from one of the resorts 2 pools. Lovely orchids adorn the room and a beautiful flower lei rests on the bed. There were plenty of beach towels, snorkle gear, boogie boards and much more. Our hostess, Jeanne was wonderful to work with and the rental process was easy. She left lots of information for things to do and places to eat. The beach is steps away and there is also a lovely restaurant on the property. This is a 1st floor unit which makes it easy to come and go. This is a very restfful and comfortable place to stay. We look forward to returning for another stay very soon! Thanks again Jeanne for making our anniversary stay very special!!

This property truely has it all but what really makes it special is all the thoughtful extra touches...gift basket loaded with coffee, cookies, candies.... nice bottle of wine in the refrigerator, the list goes on. Didn't get to meet Jeanne personally but met Steve in the hot tub. Really nice people with true "Aloha" thank you for a perfect getaway vacation from the cold rainy Pacific Northwest.

Hi Jeanne, As you can tell Ray forwarded this review to me. This was our second year using your beautiful apartment at the Kannapali Villas. Everything you do is so welcoming. This includes the wreath on the door, the welcome basket, and the lai's on the bed. The kitchen is so well supplied that it is hard to find anything missing. If I could suggest anything, it would be a small hand mixer. The touches of your creativity are everywhere, from the decorations on the bars of soap to the decorations on the towels. My son lost the boogie board and you were there the very next moring with a replacement. It is in the absolute perfect location for these old folks. My husband loved sitting on the patio in the morning with his cup of coffee, and I enjoyed the very few steps to the pool. Many times it was like our own personal pool. The table and chairs were beautiful and we celebrated two Christmas Eve feasts around the table! Thanks so much for the little extras that you do and we so enjoyed meeting your son. Look forward to spending time with you in the future! Ray and Sue Lahna PS the bed is the best!

We spent 6 days at Jeanne's condo for our second part of our Maui Honeymoon Adventure. We decided to do two days at the Hyatt to have some full service pampering, then head to this location for a nice and calm remainder of the trip. It was exactly what we expected. Very nice, very clean, walking distance to almost everything in the main part of Kaanapali. The rest can be reached via a short car drive. Jeanne's welcome basket was a real treat and we appreciated how she reached out to see if there was anything she could do to help us out. Great property and great property owner. Highly recommended.

We spent a week in Jeanne's clean and comfortable condo at Maui Kaanapali Villas, and my wife and I loved it. Everything was provided for beach fun, and all of the extras including the welcome basket put a big smile on my wife's face. The beach was so inviting we did not go in the beautiful adjacent pool. We could walk to the beach in about one minute, and proximity to Whaler's Village Mall is 15 minutes on the "Beach Walk" or short ride on the free trolley. Free MKV parking is close to the condo, and Lahaina is a five-minute drive for some music, art galleries, restaurants, shopping, Maui history and a park-sized banyan tree. I would recommend Jeanne's condo to Maui visitors, and obviously, we will return!

We just spent 10 glorious days in Maui. The condo was absolutely wonderful and inviting right when we walked in the door. The welcome basket from Jeanne was appreciated and a nice aloha touch. I especially loved the lanai and had my coffee there every morning gazing at the beautiful surroundings of MKV. The condo itself is beautiful and very comfortable with many amenities to make it a pleasant stay. There were ample towels, beach towels, snorkel gear, umbrella, beach chairs and a cooler. The look and feel of the condo had special touches throughout which made you feel you were a guest in someone’s home. Jeanne went the extra mile and it showed. The pool by the condo was convenient, clean and quiet. It is just a short walk to the beach and there is a nice long path along the beach for walking or running. I often walked down to the beach there to watch the sunset. On our last day, I rented a cabana which was a treat and well worth it. We BBQ’d some nights at one of the three BBQ stations there which made it fun. The kitchen in the condo had all the utensils we needed. There are a few farmers markets around, so we got to try some of the local foods, in addition to Safeway and Foodland nearby. The location is great and was central to our daily excursions, including Lahaina and Whaler’s Village. The MKV staff was very friendly and made our stay feel welcome. I would definitely want to come back and stay at the condo again. It was so much fun!
