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!

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 totally enjoyed our stay at this amazing location. The grounds were so beautiful with the sounds of birds and the plants. The pool especially the garden pool is so beautiful and tranquil. The restaurant on site is very convenient. Has the best pool size smoothies for kids and adults. The beach out front is good for boogie boarding and also snorkeling with amazing sunsets. We were really sad to have to leave and go home.

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!

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.

We visited Maui for our son’s wedding and stayed in the lovely unit on the 2nd floor! The view is amazing and close to the beach, pool and restaurant. We would stay here again. Thank You for everything Ken!

The room is a little dated, but comfortable and has all the amenities that you need (W/D, DW, fridge, range, Micro). View is good from room, but cannot see sunset.

![Aston Kaanapali Shores]()
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.

This is a great ground floor unit just steps to the beach, pool, and everything Kaanapali Shores has to offer. Unit was clean. Owner was responsive. We will book again if it's available on our next trip to Maui.

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.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful resort. We couldn't ask for a better location, beach, pool, grocery market and ABC store. It had everything we needed in just walking distance. Our 2 bedroom garden view was spacious and lovely. My parents most enjoyed the balcony, sea breeze and especially the friendly birds. We had a great time and would love to come back here one day. It was a memorable trip! Thank you!

My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our honeymoon. The condo was very clean and the location was so close to the beach , pools and the resort’s restaurant.
We also liked that there were free towels that you could exchange daily and sunscreen dispensers located throughout the resort. The drinks at the bar were really good. Would highly recommend trying the tropical itch or the passion fruit daiquiri.
The owner was super friendly and great at communicating anytime we had a question. We were really happy to see how well stocked the condo was with movies, snorkel / beach gear and, household items.
The location was also a big plus since everything was within walking distance such as; Whalers Village, grocery stores, food trucks, and restaurants.

Location and resort amenities were great. View was beautiful. Communications for checkin was lacking. Air duct cleaning and overall dusting needs attention to the point of asthma attacks each night. Patio doors were clunky and didn’t open with ease and accessibility.

Words and pictures cannot capture how incredible this location was. The wrap around lanai and sliding glass doors opened up so much and it felt larger than what it is. The place is decked out with everything you need to cook, which we ended doing a lot of, and it has the hookup for beach travel (wagon, 8 Tommy Bahama beach chairs, 4 coolers, pool noodles, 2 Tommy Bahama beach umbrellas, 6 massive beach towels). The property team was ultra responsive and we only ran into one time we contacted them because we couldn't find the toaster and they bought a brand new one and dropped it off within hours. The place was in excellent condition and we would not hesitate to rebook this place for our next visit.

Loved this Vacasa Unit. Beautiful view, comfy bed, attentive host.
Loved the property as well. Great Island Chill vibes, nice bar with some good live music and an old school ocean front pool. Best location in North Kaanapali right across from the Times Marketplace shopping center.

We’ve stayed here before and we really love the resort. It has a great little restaurant with good food at good prices. I really liked the location of our room in the resort. Very close to the beach so we can hear the waves and our room was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable and big. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook and all the appliances worked perfectly. We had covered parking right down the hall. There as soap for all of the appliances (clothes washer, dishwasher, dish soap etc). The towels were soft and plenty. The apartment was very roomy and comfortable. We really enjoyed our time.

If you're a couple on the move and need somewhere to stay that's quiet, clean, and comfortable, you can't beat this VRBO. Our host was so awesome and took great care of us. This was one of the best stocked vacation rentals we've ever had. I can't say enough good things about it.

We enjoyed the location, having the beach right out our door, pool access was wonderful. Some local restaurants and stores were available.
Within the condo itself, there were some minor accessories that would have been helpful to have for the kitchen. It was missing the drain stop for the sink, the sprayer didn't work, and the bedroom remote didn't work.

Super Clean is a great way to describe this unit. The owners take exceptional care of their place. Many amenities you won't find in every VRBO.
They were great communicators and checked in on us throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed.
The view from the balcony was slightly disappointing, but I wouldn't let it deter you from booking with this owner. We weren't in our room enough for it to be a detractor.
I would highly recommend booking this unit.

The owners of this property have this all figured out! We traveled with a one year old and things could not have gone better. There was a very open line of communication prior and during our stay, a packnplay set up upon arrival as we requested, and the owners greeted us in the lobby, assisting us up to our room. The unit had everything we needed for our stay, and more! If you are traveling with a kid/kids, I highly recommend as they have boogie boards, snorkeling equipment, coolers and beach chairs for everyone. If you are traveling just the two of you, the view from the balcony is even better in person with a wonderful set up for your morning coffee/lunch ect. Enjoy your trip!

Couldn’t beat this location! Only a few steps from the pools, restaurant and beach. Convenience of the first floor while still feeling private. Very clean unit with everything you could need (beach chairs, toys, wagon, etc). Smooth check in process and friendly host. By far the best rental experience I’ve had in Maui and the only place I’ll stay in the future. Highly recommend!
