What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Kaanapali Shores delivers a relaxed condo-resort experience in a prime North Kaanapali location. Guests love the oceanfront setting for sunsets and frequent whale and turtle sightings from lanais, plus two pools (a lagoon-style family pool and a quieter oceanfront pool by the Beach Club restaurant with happy hour and occasional live music). The grounds are lush and well kept, towel exchange is easy, and the walkability is a big win: a Times grocery store across the street, an ABC store and coffee nearby, and a popular food-truck park next door. Many reviewers highlight friendly staff and responsive hosts/managers, along with convenient parking and a not-too-crowded vibe.

Units vary by owner but many feel like well-equipped homes: full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, even wagons), and comfortable beds. Some condos are newly remodeled and spotless with gorgeous ocean views; ground-floor units are praised for step-out access to pools and the beach, while higher floors trade convenience for sweeping vistas and whale watching from the lanai. Check-in is generally smooth and communication strong, and families consistently note how easy it is to spread out, cook meals, and bounce between beach and pool.

Common watch‑outs reflect the property’s age and island setting: the beach out front can be narrow or rocky depending on tide (many guests swim a short drive away at Kahekili or Black Rock), and occasional construction/lanai work has caused daytime noise or temporary balcony closures—confirm current status if this matters. Tropical pests do crop up at times; most stays are unaffected, but a handful of units reported ants or roaches with mixed success after spraying. A few condos feel dated or lightly cleaned, and kitchen stocking varies. If renting privately, expect some resort limitations (no bell carts, paid gym, daily parking fee) and occasional noise near the garden birds, delivery areas, or family pool. Overall, travelers looking for a comfortable, highly convenient, family-friendly base with strong views and amenities rate Kaanapali Shores very highly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the time we opened the door we absolutely loved the choice we made to stay here! It was so clean and inviting, not to mention the gorgeous view!! Laura was very helpful with welcome instructions and was available throughout our stay. I can't put into words how greatful we were to be able to stay in such a wonderful place. The beds/bedrooms were wonderful, bathrooms clean, kitchen was huge along with a dining room table for 6-8, and the patio furniture was perfect. Everything was stocked from the kitchen to bathrooms and the extras were great. There were plenty of beach towels, a cooler, wagon, 6 beach chairs, an umbrella, and beach toys. Everything was thought of. We are going to miss sipping coffee on the patio at sunrise, watching the waves during the day, and taking pictures at sunset. Aside from the room itself, the grounds were great also! There are 2 pools, one has waterfalls and an in pool lounging area while the other one (more of an adult pool) is next to a restaurant with happy hour! There is a large grass area to play games and right in front of the restaurant/pool there is beach access. The beach was great with low tide, be careful with your dry belongings as the tide comes in but otherwise it was wonderful!! The access to other areas around Maui was good, there is also a food truck area directly behind the resort which was nice for a quick meal. We did not want to leave!! I have already recommended this place to everyone I know!

We have been staying at this property for 20 years. We have stayed in many different units here, this one was very nicely updated and exactly as described online. Ground floor gave easy access to beach/pool/restaurant. Ceiling fans worked great and decor was on point. Property management was responsive when it came to small issues- couldn’t get ceiling fan off “high” in a bedroom, couldn’t find beach chairs. I would recommend a little more detail in the guestbook regarding fan operations (remote/wall switch) and where to find things like beach chairs. I was glad cleaning supplies weren’t locked up as we vacuumed the unit a couple of times. Would have given 5 starts but one bed had a huge dead moth in it and there was a dead grasshopper being devoured by ants in the main bedroom. We know there are bugs on the islands but this seemed like some cleaning was overlooked. Wish the curtains would have covered the entirety of sliders in living room and main bedroom. Overall a great stay and would stay again.

This condo was a perfect place for our stay in the Kaanapali area. I had wanted to be closer to Kaanapali Beach, but reserved this condo instead. Absolutely so glad I changed our reservation to this location! The resort atmosphere right on the beach was just what we were looking for! Close enough to some shops to walk to, a great coffee shop a few blocks away, grocery store across the street, and a convenient food truck court right next door! The condo itself was spacious, had amazing views, was very clean, and had beach items available to use. We really enjoyed our stay and wish we would have just stayed at this condo instead of moving to a different part of the island.

Resort was great! The pools were great, nice sandy beach, restaurant and bar, few little shops, the woman at the coffee shop makes fantastic lattes! Towels for pool from hotel and in unit. Walk next door for food trucks, grocery store, shaved ice, snorkel bobs! Easy parking in garage or lot (our rented suburban was too tall for garage but plenty of local parking). The unit itself was great! Clean, air conditioned, everything we needed in linens and kitchen (high end blender made amazing smoothies from fresh coconut and pineapple from a fruit stand!!) enough coffee for a few days, gorgeous views from both balconies, several birds joined us for banana bread in the mornings. Beach chairs and nice coolers provided, easy to fill with water and take with us for all the driving around Maui. When we had a small issue with a shower head owner was responsive and came and fixed same day after a text. 10/10 would stay again!

Very nice condo! Decorated nicely, clean, and comfortable. The bed in the main room was heaven! The sofa bed was perfect for our 11 year old daughter. Everything worked well and the place felt so homie. Nice pool and private beach. There’s a bunch of food trucks in a big lot across the street so we picked food up from there once to bring back to the condo for dinner. Very convenient. We ended up not doing any cooking, but did go to the grocery store across the street for breakfast and snack items to stock the kitchen with. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would book again.

We had a wonderful time. This property has everything you need away from home and it is in a great location. The pools are amazing and there are food trucks and restaurants close by. We loved it here. Would definitely come back!!

The resort itself, pools, and beach are beautiful. Very convenient location to shops and restaurants across the street. The room itself was spacious but a bit tired and not as clean as we’d expect. The lanai was beautiful, though we were unable to use it as two pigeons wouldn’t leave it despite our best efforts to scare them off, and it was covered in pigeon droppings. We communicated this to the manager who replied promptly and offered a discount which we appreciated. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Kaanapali.

This property is great. If you're looking for a property with lots of amenities, but not a huge resort, this is for you. Always a chair available at the pools, two pools to choose from and lots of shade. We'll be back!

We loved staying at Kaanapali Shores! The room was spacious and stocked with all the amenities we needed. We loved having a closet full of beach supplies like beach chairs & towels. The view was beautiful from the balcony. It was the perfect mix of condo and resort vibes. We loved the location being so close to stores and food trucks! Only thing that would’ve made it better was different bed sheets, as the ones they had were not very breathable & made it feel sweaty at night.

The view was fantastic and we enjoyed our stay! Close proximity to shops, dining, food trucks, and a grocery store. Fully stocked kitchen, beach towels, and balcony looks directly out to the Pacific Ocean.

This was the perfect place for my wife and I (or for any couple) during our quick stay in Maui to visit our niece. Kelly's property was nicely decorated, incredibly clean and well stocked for our quick stay - but wish it could have been longer. The Kitchen had everything we needed and the bedroom was super comfortable. Kelly's information was really helpful and I wish we could have taken time to get more of her knowledge of Maui.

This property and unit are amazing! The best part about the unit is the location...ground level, close to beach, ocean views, close to pools and restaurant. We'd definitely stay here again! It was close to great restaurants, food trucks, Whalers, Black Rock, Honolua Bay. What more could you want? Thank you Arthur!

Had a great time. Owner is responsive. View of ocean from all rooms. Conveniently located on the ground floor which is great for families with small children. Steps away from the ocean, pool, hot tub and a toddler pool. Well-equipped kitchen with all the amenities. Just a short walk from great food trucks, fabulous restaurants and a grocery store.

The Good: Kitchen was well supplied and the condo was quiet. The Bad: The view was mainly of a canal which is not shown in any of the photos. The balcony was very small and only contained two chairs comfortably.

I brought my college daughter and her friend for a trip after finishing their freshman year at college. We had a great time! The apartment worked well for the 3 of us. The weather was amazing and the beaches were beautiful!! The 2 pools were fun. I would definitely stay here again.

The whole process was easy and seamless from booking to advance info to check in. The property was really nice and while it wasn’t the most amazing food, it was really nice having a restaurant right on site. An added bonus is that there is a grocery store across the street and a food truck park next door that is open every evening with a coffee truck open in the morning. The condo was very clean and seemed well stocked for the beach with chairs, boogie board, and towels. It’s quite a far walk from the parking garage to the unit because the condo is toward the beach but the ocean views made up for that. I would definitely stay again and would recommend to others.

This place is wonderful! You could not be any closer to the ocean; we watched a gorgeous sunset from the wrap around balcony every night! The unit is large and exactly as depicted! The pools are nice too.Also AC IS TRULY CENTRAL!Park outside by delivery entrance for this unit; puts you closer!Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

I absolutely love the property. The ground level was literally steps away from the ocean and the pool.There was however, no gym access included. It was an additional charge and there was no ice machine, but you were able to buy a bag of ice across the street at the grocery store I would totally stay here again

We were at this property for 6 days in May 2025 and it was perfect for our needs. My husband and I travelled with our 2 daughters, 21 and 25, and the condo had everything we needed. The resort/property listing was just as described - the view from our balcony was great. Beds/pillows were super comfortable. We ate at the resort restaurant a couple of times and the food was great. There is a food truck plaza right next door to the resort - really convenient, lots of options and tasted wonderful. I would note that there is a 10.95 per day parking fee payable to the resort upon check-in...I had specifically asked KBM resorts about that before booking the room and was not given that information, but other than that, they were responsive to my questions/concerns. The tub was not draining properly in the 2nd bathroom and they got it taken care of immediately. Overall, we had a fantastic stay here and would definitely stay here again. Thank you

Loved the ocean front location. Enjoyed pool and beach. Nice condo. Multiple roaches ruined it. Paranoid to use coffee pot and kitchen due to bugs. White stains on couch.

Roaches ruined it for us. Never used kitchen or coffee pot because of roaches. Couch has a few spots of white stuff, needs cleaned. Otherwise, great place. Beautiful view. Enjoyed view, pool, beach. Fix your bug problem. Never had this issue at other Kanapali area places down the road.

Condo was perfect for my wife and myself. Everything you need is basically furnished. Full size fridge, stove/ oven. Plenty of dishes, Tupperware, etc. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and a collapsible wagon. The view was great, (though there is a tall palm tree directly off from the patio but it just adds a bit of ambiance. There is also plenty of beach towels, bath towels as well as an in room washer and dryer, (so dont over pack). Overall, a great stay!
Donald V.
May 2025

Condo was nice overall and in a great resort with any amenity you could want. Kanapaali is a great spot for snorkeling and diving. Condo needs maintenance. Stinky sink, disposal didn’t work. But great host who communicated quickly and was helpful. We’d stay again.

May 2025

We absolutely loved our stay at this property! The location was perfect — close to everything we needed. The home itself was spacious, clean, and had the most beautiful views. The sunset views in the evening were absolutely stunning — the perfect way to wind down each day.The full kitchen was such a bonus — it made it so easy to prepare meals and snacks, especially with kids. One of the unexpected highlights was the boogie boards provided — our kids had the best time riding the waves, and snorkeling on them - it made beach days even more fun and easy.This place had everything we needed for a relaxed, memorable trip. We’d come back in a heartbeat!
Steve D.
May 2025

Wonderful stay! The lanai patio was the cherry on the cake with a great view and being able to hear wind through the trees it became one of our favorite places. I loved being on this side of building because it felt like our little oasis with hardly anyone. We loved having a kitchen and cooked most of the meals. Kitchen was well stocked with most items you would need, include shoyu! We went daily to enjoy the pools and beach. A great stay for sure.

This condo had it all. There was everything you could imagine that you might need. The view was spectacular from this condo. Spent many hours on the balcony throughout our stay. Restaurant on site and several others at Whalers Village within a ten minute drive. Pools are amazing and the grounds are well taken care of. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great visit to Maui. This condo was perfect for me and my three older children. There was minimal beach but that gave us more motivation to explore other areas and beaches. The property managers provided many amenities that you usually have to buy yourself. Thank you for a great trip!

We had an excellent 10 day stay at Kaanapali shores. The pools were perfect for kids and adults. The location was 5-10 min drive in either direction to our favorite beaches/snorkle spots (black rock and Kapalua bay). The room had great ac, stocked with beach chairs, cooler ect. The view from the room included the garden, pool and ocean view! The pics of the view don't do it justice. Staff were nice.

May 2025

We loved our stay in our room! The closet was full of different things for going on the beach! There was a cart, 4 chairs, 2 unbrellas, 2 ice chest and many other amenities for a perfect day on the beach. The room was spotless and the kitchen was loaded with everything you need for cooking and serving food.

We'd love staying in this condo. It was very close to all the amenities. It had everything we needed to be able to fix meals there. It was nice having washer and dryer. The beach chairs were great to have when we went down to the beach. Check in was very easy. The food trucks located at the entrance were very good. And there was a pizza place across the street that was incredible. We would definitely stay here again
