Place was pretty clean a few broken items that I wanted to make sure the owners knew about when we arrived.

We loved the proximity to the beach/whalers village, the deck facing the golf course and sunset each night, and the quiet pool!

Plenty of room for my fam of four (two teens). All the amenities and what not you could want. The only bummer was the pool - tons of gnats/small bugs, couldn’t enjoy it.

This was the perfect setup for us especially our children. We were close to our cousins so it made it easy for the kids to visit one another. They loved the pool! We loved the shopping and the restaurants which were just a short walk away! Beautiful place and definitely recomnended

From the moment I booked this property I knew we were going to have a great time. Rick was prompt and responsive from the get go. Not only did he answer my questions he offered tips & recommendations on things to do while we were there so helped in continuing to plan our trip. We referred to his recommendations regularly. When we were tired from a long day of traveling with 5 kids, he was there to help guide us getting in immediately & was incredibly kind in doing so. (Complete user error. Instructions were very clear & easy to follow.) He checked in the next day to make sure we were comfortable & comfortable we were! It had everything we needed & more for our family of 7 (2 parents & kids aged 20, 14, 12. 5 & 3.) Also plenty for babies too. Space for all of us to sleep comfortably, plenty of pillows, blankets, sheets & towels for our week long stay. All the beds/pillows were comfortable! The location was amazing & views were some of our favorites! Took a ton of pictures just off our lanai. We Loved walking to Whalers village, Kaanapali beach & Black Rock. Went to Whalers almost daily because it was so easy & fun. Lots of meals on the lanai & inside comfortably as we had everything we needed to cook most meals there with a well stocked kitchen & grill was a plus. The available electronics & extras like snorkeling/beach gear was impressive! Parking was no problem and we felt more than safe in the gated community. Would stay here again & have already recommended to others!

This was the ideal spot for our honeymoon. We brought our 16-year-old with us, so having the privacy of the upstairs area was wonderful. The house was well-equipped with all the beach essentials, which was perfect for our daily beach explorations on the island. It was a short drive to the shops and restaurants—something we planned to walk to, but after long days of exploring, walking wasn’t appealing. Still, it’s great to know walking was an option. Beds and pillows were super comfy and a great place to rest after long days in the sun. Would highly recommend staying in this place for its prime location and comfortable stay

We had a really lovely stay here. There was plenty of room for our family of three to stretch out and the first floor location was just steps from the pool, which was awesome for an after dinner swim or hot tub. We also used the gas grill in the pool area one night. The entire complex was really well maintained and there were several friendly kitties on the property too, most of which were happy for some head rubs. We enjoyed the relative quiet of the complex compared to the hustle and bustle of the big resorts. There was never more than a few families at the pool. And the big resorts, restaurants, and Whaler Village are a short walk away. We also played foot golf at the adjacent course, which is basically a mash-up of soccer and golf and fun way for us non-golfers to be on the course. The hosts graciously made sure we had boogie boards for our stay, as this is an activity our family really enjoys. And the beach closet had pretty much everything you'd need for a day at the beach -- plenty of towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling stuff, boogie boards -- plus stuff for kids. The only thing we didn't find was a cooler, but maybe there was one and we just didn't see it. We also wanted to try pickle ball, but ran out of time. We would definitely stay at this property again! Check in/out was easy, it was super comfy, and with great communication along the way.

Property exactly as shown and described. Easy checkin process. Kitchen was well stocked for people that like to cook while on vacation. We had some issues with air conditioning but they were very responsive. We went about our day sightseeing and it was fixed by the time we returned. We would definitely stay here again if we ever get back to Maui!

Beautiful location overlooking the golf course with a partial view of the ocean. Great amenities in the complex; pickleball, pool, tennis courts etc. Owners thought if everything - beach chairs, towels, a cooler, even a collapsible wagon which was genius! However, we did experience a considerable amount of maintenance issues which were never addressed during our stay: light bulbs out, toilet lapsed out, garbage disposal not functioning and a ru Ning toilet. Issues were reported but could not be addressed until after check out. Hub?

Our family loved our stay at this place. It’s a 2 story condo with full bathrooms on both floors. Large living room and nice Lanai. They had a lot of beach chairs, snorkeling gear, umbrella and so on. Decent bedding. In summary, it worked well for our six members family. The location is good and near the beach. But the beach is a bit of a walk (about a mile to block rock beach which is where we went all days). Especially if you have equipment to carry and young kids or elderly parents. But we parked at the Sheraton and got parking validated on most days. All in all a very good experience and I would stay here again if traveling with family.

Clean property. The two beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for cooking. Washer and dryer worked well. There was a good amount of beach chairs as well as beach towels and a wagon to cart your stuff down to the beach. The patio was a good size and had plenty of seating for dinners on the lanai.

Me & my family recently stayed here and we had such an incredible time! The condo was exactly what we expected and then some. We dealt with a bit of a hiccup on one early morning but it was so easy to fix and the owners and Monty were so easy to reach out to and helpful. Would definitely stay there again :)

The property was at a great location and had many amenities, especially the kitchen. HOWEVER, the entire property smelled musty and there was MOLD in the main closet and drawers which made them completely unusable. The area rug in the main bedroom smelled like urine so my husband put it out on the balcony. There was also an incredible amount of mold in the brita-type water pitcher in the fridge. And the tub was constantly clogging as the drain is covered in sediment. I appreciate past guests leaving their beach umbrellas and chairs etc for other guests. The location and size of the property is great - it just needs a thorough DEEP CLEANING and possibly some mold remediation.

Convenient location great beach access, amazing place to stay , already looking forward to next trip. Beware of parking charge, bring a check with you.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful condo. We loved the view from both the main bedroom and the lanai with stunning sunsets. The location and amenities were fantastic with more than enough space for our family (two adults and two teens). The kitchen was very well setup with all that we needed to cook meals on nights that we didn’t walk to Whalers village for dinner. We also very much appreciated all of the beach gear that was provided including beach chairs and snorkeling gear, which made it easy to spend time exploring Black Rock. This condo provided all that we needed to have an amazing holiday. We will never forget our stay and the memories we created! We highly recommend staying at this property. Thank you!

Everything was perfect, fully equipped kitchen, close to everything! Clean, quiet and easy parking. My only complaint was that the room with the twin beds, the beds need help they made a lot pf noice and they where uncomfortable. Also the fan in that room was very loud. Would definitely book again!

We had a wonderful experience at D101. Very comfortable, everything you need for a vacation. Close to the beach with nice views of the golf coarse. Very short walk to the Fairway shops to get a quick bite, snorkel rentals and more. So much better than a crowded hotel room. Beautifully decorated and air conditioned. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, well stocked both kitchen, and linens and beach gear!! Makes vacationing so much easier! Loved the balcony area and the automated shades that provided just the right amount of shade! Pool area clean and has tables etc. We would definitely stay there again and already referring to others.

Very nicely furnished place. All sports equipment, chairs, umbrellas needed for the beach were included, as well all kitchenware down to spices and welcoming chocolates. Loved the Tuscan style restroom and the large balcony. Easily walkable to the beach and whaler’s village. Minor downsides were that the stairs were a bit squeaky, BBQ grill was hardly working, and parking was additional (found out about it after getting a warning for not being registered). All in all though, loved it.

Very spacious! There was plenty of room and even areas we did not use such as the front patio and a side room off the second bedroom. The master was large with a separate dressing area. The living room was very spacious as well. The location was a win for our teens with a ten minute walk to the beaches, snorkeling with turtles, black rock jumping, and Whaler’s Village shopping and dining. We were very pleased!

Very nice property. Problems we had were addressed eventually but thankfully management was quick to respond when the issue was reported…we were never left hanging. Only complaint would be that the furniture upholstery was in pretty rough shape.

Excellent place to stay! The condo was clean, cute and had all the supplies we needed. Loved sitting outside on the patio in the morning for breakfast and playing games at night. The starter kits came in handy and having a grill was a huge plus. It’s close to shops, snorkel gear rental, coffee shop and of course Whalers Village. You won’t be disappointed staying here and the location is great for Ka’anapali beach.

The home was nice and very quiet. It's a bit far from the beach but makes up for it with the privacy. The pool and hotub were both nice and very clean. I would deffinately consider staying here again

Property comes fully equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Nice pool, large living space and 2 separate bedrooms. Kitchen was well stocked with most things needed to entertain and serve meals. Decor is a bit dated but property is clean and well maintained. Nice outdoor lanai, with a barbecue. It is a gated community which was nice.

We enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The condo was nice, we enjoyed the pool side BBQ, large lanai, tennis courts, and especially the air conditioning!

Stayed here with my boyfriend and another couple for a wedding across the golf course at the Westin! It was a great (and more affordable!) alternative to staying at the resort, and we were able to walk to most wedding activities. The space was great for two couples since we both had our own bathrooms attached to the bedrooms. Loved the provided beach equipment and in unit washer/dryer and we always had plenty of towels. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but it seemed well stocked with cooking utensils! I’d say sleeping more than 5 people here would be a stretch as the living room bed looked like a small futon. The upstairs shower is definitely not accessible friendly for disabled or elderly people as the side of the tub came up to my mid thigh and needed a lot of care getting in and out without falling. I’d have preferred more shampoo/conditioner as the small bottles provided weren’t enough for a whole week stay. The condo complex charging nearly $150 for parking for the whole week was another flaw, but not the host’s fault. Overall we loved the condo and our stay and we would love to stay again!

Can’t ask for more when it comes to location. It’s near everything you need for an amazing family trip. Funny enough our kids looked forward to the pool and hot tub every night after long days at the beach.
