I was born and raised on Maui (down the road) and moved to Alaska years ago. This was the first time I visited "as a tourist," and it was everything the kid in me dreamt it would be and more. The hotel is a step into the days when Hawaii was about visiting old friends. I passed by the meeting area for activities and I could hear the returning guests talking about how long they've known the employees. This is far from the manufactured Hawaii they make now days. This is the real Hawaiian vibes. The trolley is also chef's kiss. The room...amazing!!! My husband used a cane and wheelchair, and we had zero problem getting in and out of the elevators, the walkways, and the room. The walk in shower was his favorite!! He was able to get in and enjoy a warm shower with less effort than back home. I loved waking up to the sun and going to bed with the sunset on the other sliding window. Air conditioning was accurate and could get really cold if you wanted. The coolers in the room were perfect for storing ice for our drinks and poke on our drives, and the fridge kept them cold in the room. The room is very clean and comfortable. Our hosts were very responsive and they were very accommodating. We really appreciate their hospitality and look forward to visiting again.

This was our second stay at Maui Kaanapali Villas. Great place, great location, beautiful pool area. Staff was helpful and pleasant. The trolly stops right in front and is very convenient. Had some good meals at the Castaway, and many other restaurants are a reasonable walk away. We’ll be back.

Upon arrival we were very happy with the condo itself - as described and per the on-line pictures. HOWEVER - we quickly noticed that the unit (while neat) had NOT been completely cleaned. I contacted the property manager. They asked for pictures and I provided the pictures of the worst areas within an hour or two: > several areas of sticky tile floors > unwashed glass wall in shower > very stained placemats-looked like they had NEVER been washed > what looked like a blood stain (per my wife, a nurse) on one of the walls I did NOT get a response from the property mgr. (MyPerfectStays) for about 3 days so I contacted them again asking for an update. They apologized for the delay and set up a day / time for a CORRECTIVE cleaning. Their 1st comment was "there may be a charge for the cleaning" - I had to point out that this was to CORRECT what should have already been done. This was for our 40th Anniversary, Each time we have a long stay (this time was for 30 days) we ask that the linens be REFRESHED. My request kept seeming to send them back to a script - "this is a rental NOT a Hotel" and there would be a.charge for an extra service. I pointed out several times that we are very experienced RENTERS and were not asking for "maid service" - just that the linens be refreshed. I noted for our long stays, THIS was the 1st time any owner or agent had ever suggest a charge. They agreed to a "complimentary" service due to their delay in responding to the cleaning.

Very nice. The air conditioner was a great addition. It was hot for me outside but I found relief in condo. All I needed for stay was here. The shower is AMAZING. I’m going to look for this when I get home.

Another awesome time at MKV and staying in this room. The room had everything we needed. The beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were very convenient. The location and beach simply can’t be beat. We plan to be back again.

November 2024

EXACTLY the unit we hoped for in every way. Perfect location for beach, bar and eats. It was great to walk the beach past the hotels FULL of people. Nothing was too busy. They started pool service the day before we left so that is now a plus. We have been coming to Maui for 35 years and this is the best place. Everything was in the unit. Just really chill and cool. Owner was so easy to communicate with and we WILL. return!

I picked this location as it was down the street from the location of a wedding. I didn't use anything at the resort, yet I got socked with a daily resort fee.
Amonique S.
November 2024

The condo was clean, well equipped, luxurious, and good value. The kitchen had everything needed to cook. The king bed was comfortable. We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrella, although the cooler is on its last legs. The location is great with a nice walk to many restaurants - its about a mile to Whalers Village. Quick walk to beach, and great snorkeling right off the beach or a short walk to Black Rock. We would stay here again

From the welcome basket when you arrive, to the perfect location close to the pool, to the beach accessories located on the lanai- Jeannie’s property is a very relaxing way to enjoy Maui.

The pictures do not do this condo justice. We were so comfortable for our entire trip. The extras provided were perfect; The basket of local goodies, the beach bag with a zipper, small cooler in the wagon outside, Beach chairs, Extra toiletries that we forgot, and all the kitchen items we needed. Jeanne is a wonderfully responsive host! We will definitely be returning.

Stayed at the end of Oct. 2024 and it was fantastic. Property was clean and well appointed. The layout with the bed and half-bath upstairs works out nicely. Enjoyed the resort amenities - gym, used the grill, pool, beach towel exchange, and even played shuffle board. Water temp was 80-81F; love Maui.

Our stay was great. I only gave 4 stars on cleanliness because the sink drain didn’t drain well and seemed clogged and the sliding glass door runners were dirty and was hard to slide open. Also the toilet seat was loose. We were satisfied with the room overall. We had friends at the Westin Kaanapali so it was a short walk to see them. Aloha

We very much enjoyed the condo. It was clean, comfortable, well located and had everything one needs while away from home. The patio area was particularly well suited for relaxation and a surprisingly quiet. We enjoyed the welcome basket. Please note the bed is quite firm.

Great location on the water. Well appointed. Nothing bad to say. Only wish that there was laundry in the unit.
Richard R.
October 2024

We loved this condo. Truly a great place to rest and relax. We felt even the stretch of beach this condo sits on was perfect, not over crowded or rocky. The pool and restaurant was convenient too. The condo was very clean and decorated in a modern style with hawaiin flare. We would definitely come here again.
Andre S.
October 2024

This studio looks just like in the pictures. The bathroom area was very spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. There were 3 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas (one was broken, but we didn’t realize it until our last day - not a big deal as we were able to figure out a way to make it work). The morning coffee in the lobby was much appreciated and quite good! The walk to the beach was 3-4 minutes, which was nice! We enjoyed our stay!

This condo is only steps to North Kaanapali beaches and has great snorkeling with fish and turtles, swimming, beach walks, and wonderful views of offshore islands. It’s heaven to stay here, and Jeanne is a delightful host, very friendly and accessible, and she gave us a gift basket of goodies and orchids all around, even a lei. You can swim in the pools, play shuffleboard, cook your own food or eat at Castaways restaurant. I started each day by walking the tranquil beach at dawn, and spent more days on the beach. Lots of aloha spirit here! Diane and Jim from Colorado

Were in Maui for the third time. This time celebrating our 35th anniversary. Maui never disappoints and this property was fantastic. Will be looking to book here again when we come back.
Jamie A.
October 2024

We stayed at this beautiful condo for 4 days while attending a wedding and couldn't be happier with it and the Maui Kaanapali Villas complex. The 180 degree view of the ocean from both rooms was fantastic and the Castaways restaurant was ideal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We utilized the complementary trolley to travel to the Whalers Village for shopping and eating. Dan was an outstanding host who was available if needed. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Maui!

The view from the shaded porch is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the porch each day as well as having our dinner at sunset. The condo is also conveniently located to the pool and beach.

It was a wonderful stay! The room is great, king bed good 4th floor. View not fantastic, but who stays in room? Elevator to floor. Fresh beach towels as needed. Mini fridge, microwave. The beach is awesome! Great snorkeling at reef near by and out at Black rock. Pool is really nice, grounds are great
