Great location. Covienient to stores and restaurants. Clean and a great view. Nice garden and pool areas, and beaches. Could use a few more hooks to hang things.

My family stayed in this unit for 2weeks. It was just as the listing described. Very clean unit with full amenities. The unit was well equipped with snorkel gear, beach chairs, and sand toys. The A/C worked great and the bathroom was large enough, having two sinks, a tub, and shower. The unit is steps from both pools, restaurant (which is on property) and the beach. The unit is on ground floor which was very convenient with a large lanai and grass area. It was great waking up every morning, having a coffee and enjoying the sunrise. The owner was very accommodating and was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this unit.

The condo was beautiful and close to the things we needed. The beach was beautiful and easy to access as was the pool. We loved it and would most definitely come back

We loved our stay! Our third trip to Maui and certainly not our last. Very conveniently located on the west side of the island. We spent most of our days swimming and snorkeling. Great food options nearby. Less than an hour drive to get to Kihei or other places around the island too. We had a wonderful honeymoon staying here!

Overall our stay was great, we enjoyed the location and the condo was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the garden and ocean view! We stayed at this hotel 23 years ago and were glad to stay here again. The only snag was not receiving the check in instructions beforehand and so we checin like we would normally do at the hotel. They did nit have our info since the reseywss not made directly with them. A quick call to the property management office solved it and I received the email. One small thing is the door code required a # sign which was not indicated so it just took a little more time to get in.

We have stayed at this resort for the last 5 years and we keep coming back for the location, views, value, and the happy hour! Several great restaurants in walking distance, easy to get to great beaches and shopping. This unit is the first studio we’ve stayed in and it was conveniently located steps from the elevator. tastefully decorated, plenty of towels, dishes, etc. the only thing we would change is the bed. Extremely uncomfortable, like sleeping on a marshmallow , but you’re in paradise so it balances out.

The grounds were spectacular: Pool area was wonderful, beach area is nice…. A short walk to the south and you reach a much more expansive beach. The view from the room was perfect, you could see whales constantly.
The condo was your typical rental. Absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. Beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well. The kitchen was nice, however it lacked utensils for cooking, and the pots and pans are sub par- they could prob use replacing, there was plenty of Tupperware lids but no containers.
Each bathroom was stocked with towels, shamp/cond body wash etc.
We spilled some cereal the first morning and when I cleaned it up it appeared the floor had not been cleaned in quite some time, so that was a bit disconcerting.
Previous guests have left coolers, boogie boards, umbrellas, and we added to the pile with pool floaties, unit also has 4 Tommy Bahama chairs.
All in all a good stay!

The property is beautiful and right on the ocean. There were lots of things for kids and teens to do between two pools, bean bags, pickle ball, etc. The specific unit was tastefully decorated. The washer and dryer worked great. Having beach chairs, towels and cooler available to use wb

This was our first time in Maui. We had a great ocean view. We were able to use the beach in front of the property as well as within a close drive to other beaches, places to eat, and shopping. Great pool and restaraunt and bar on site.

Overall the place is quite nice. We did run into a few cockroaches but I believe this is common in Hawaii. The place was clean. A little dated but cozy. Kitchen could have used a few items such as tongs as we did cook a fair amount. The TV was a bit difficult at times. The TV and box don’t sync up well together and was a bit frustrating at times.
The place in general is very good, we would return and recommend staying here.

The condo was clean and quiet! Furnishings seemed to be new. Beds were very comfortable and ocean view from the lanai was very nice!
I had lost instructions on getting into the condo but owner resent email to me right away!
Some confusion with door keys as there was supposed to be 2 keys on kitchen counter. Cleaning company called me next day to let me know where the key was but there was only one key, not two.
We had a wonderful week celebrating our granddaughter's graduation and we would definitely stay here again!
July 2024
This was perfect for our family of five. It has the best location with the best view we’ve ever had- complete ocean view and the perfect little kitchen to cook breakfast and lunch and super close to go shopping or buy a few essentials. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay at Kaanapali Shores! Robert was always quick to help with answers to my many questions. The location of this resort is great for those who want to eat and shop locally while on Maui. The 2 pools and beach are just steps from the condo. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to paradise!
Aloha and Mahalo!

Positives: Great beach location. Every room has some type of little to big ocean view. Outside grounds are kept well. Towel access was easy. Two pools.
Challenges: Checked in at 4pm on a Friday, July 5th and just wanted to get to our room and the room was delayed being ready for about 3 hours. They did give us 5 free drinks, but kids wanted to hit the pool and we wanted to drop off our bags and shower. The garden kids pool was nice but on Friday & Saturday July 5-6th the pool was horrific!!! Smellled, black with dirt, cloudy beyond belief, hair floating, and looked like a black bottom pool. They finally cleaned it on Sunday, July 7th and Monday, July 8th, but it was still cloudy. They need a new chlorine filter system and better pool service. The garden pool is not big enough if the hotel is full. The beds were horrible! Lopsided springing awful. Couch was more comfortable. Ice maker did not work. Called for service for it that never came. No ice makers in the entire hotel!!! Awful!! Hotel operator could barely speak any English. Staffing for the hotel appears bad with qualify of some staff. A lot of older to very old, limiping, to heavy set staff that can barely move. Very little younger staff seen and we stayed Friday to Monday.
Overall: decent timeshare price for being close to the beach, having a pool(s), & room with a semi to full ocean view. We may or may not stay here again. This is the third place we have stayed in Kaanapali. Ranking #3 of 3. Just, okay not great.

This unit is everything! Well stocked with all the amenities and Arthur was also super quick with responses.
We really loved the ground floor steps away from the beach, pool, dining (food trucks too!) supermarket, and parking. The easy live music at the pool was a bonus to hear from the patio or during an afternoon swim. We loved to watch the sunset every evening and looked forward to walking the boardwalk every morning along the beach.
This was my 10th trip to the islands and have been fortunate to stay at some of the luxury mega resorts, however we really much preferred the smaller feel of Kaanapali Shores and how centrally located this unit was to all the amenities that we love! Not spending a lot of time to walk to the beach, car, restaurant etc was certainly delightful! We definitely hope to return soon for another stay in this unit:) Mahalo

We were thrilled to find lots of quality each chairs and boogie boards plus beach towels which isn't always common at Hawaiian VRBO rentals! The particular unit was a great location or viewing the ocean but also far enough away from the lobby to be nicely quiet in later evenings and mornings!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our parents’ 60th Anniversary. The location of this condo could not be more perfect…easy accessible for our parents…to the beach, pool, parking and very quiet and secluded at the same time! We had a snafu at check in however our host, Larry went above and beyond to make it right and we were very appreciative! We will definitely be returning! Thank you for helping us to make wonderful memories!! Mahalo!

Stayed for 6 days and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Right on kaanapali beach and if that isn’t enough a HUGE heated pool and hot tub. Location was great and the host was even better looked like it had never been slept in it was so clean. Hoping we can stay here next time thanks!!

It was our first trip to Kauai and we knew that the place didn't have AC. We had a hard time wanting to adjust to no AC and roosters crowing, but that is part of the adventure on this island. Its cooler and does rain more than Maui. Though the rain was very minimal and didn't hinder our snorkeling or kayaking adventures on the island.

Close to shops, beach access. Room is dated, could use fresh paint and new furniture. Great amenities - pool, restaurant. Check-in and check-out process was seamless.

In our early 60s took our recent college grad. Aston Kaanapali shores grounds are gorgeous. All in all, worked fine for our 4 nights at a very good price point. Unit is spacious. Location couldn’t be better. Unit views are wonderful. Plenty of covered parking if you rent a car. Kitchen and bathroom were updated and clean. Owner is very responsive and helpful. Resort staff were all very pleasant.
Now for the so so… Unfortunately the unit and adjacent hall smelled a little musty (have dealt with worse in a tropical environment). We bought air fresheners and opened the screens and that helped. King bed needs a new mattress. (Didn’t call owner bc we were only here a short time.) Husband is a stomach sleeper and he just could get comfortable bc of the body divots in the mattress. Daughter said the sofa bed was ok but we all felt the sofa had a slightly odd smell (didn’t look dirty but just prob needs to be professionally steam cleaned). Carpets could use a professional steam cleaning as well but they did NOT leave your feet dirty if you walk barefoot in the unit. Mostly families with young children frequent this resort which can be good or bad depending on your family’s age composition. Breakfast at the Beach Club restaurant was good but go elsewhere for dinner. (Pizza place across the street has great pizza.)

The room listing was suppose to be 2 bedroom with one king and 2 twins but both rooms were queen. I tried to contact the host but it forwarded me to the front desk, so that no help. We ended up staying in the room since there was no accommodations available.

Reviewer Comments:
This unit is located in arguably the best location on the property. Just steps to the beach and faces sunset every night. The needs an update, but you'd be renting it for the location.

The location of this property was perfect for us. It was right above the pool with an ocean view. Perfect for two people. We spent a lot of time on the balcony, listening to the birds and the water feature from the pool. Perfect spot!

We loved our stay at this property. The space was perfect for the 4 of us. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony every morning to drink my coffee and enjoy the ocean views. Property grounds were great. We enjoyed both pools and the beach. Great Mexican restaurant right across the street and the food trucks next door were perfect for dinner. We had great communication from the owner. I highly recommend and would stay here again.
