It was our first time for my husband and I to visit Hawaii. Barbara’s Condo was perfect for our visit.
We went snorkeling every day on the beach across from the Unit, saw plenty of fish and swam with turtles! Easy walk to Whaler’s Village where you can find plenty of Restaurants. It was nice to enjoy breakfast watching the Ocean. We even saw a whale one morning! Getting free coffee every day in the lobby was lovely! I loved having a kitchen for the times we didn’t feel like going out. Barbara was the perfect host giving us detailed information about everything we needed to know.

My husband and I just spent 12 days at Barbara's place and it was everything the photo's show and more. The property is right on the beach with miles to walk on paths or sand in either direction. It's close to Whalers Village Shops and many restaurants & cafes. We never used the trolley but it was running all the time - great option!
We enjoyed the properties pool with attached restaurant and bar (live music several nights) and time on the beach (chairs and umbrella in unit) or the property chairs in the grass. There's swimming, snorkelling and paddleboarding on the beach right infront so although there's lots to explore on the island, you don't need to go anywhere.
The sunset views were stunning from the beach or the room and it was whale season so we saw whales everyday!! - That was amazing!
The room was perfect! Well stocked, great location and huge windows. Groceries were conveniently close. Barbara was a great host. Always accommodating (thank you for the late check out) and quick to reply.
Would 100% stay again!!

This is a very nice condo with a nice ocean view. Everything we needed was there. It is very relaxing with the beach, pools, and restaurant, right here on the property. We had a very nice honeymoon here!

No fault of the property, but with the raging wildfires there was no electricity, no cell service and no internet. As a result, the air conditioning was off and there was no hot water. We had to open the sliders and the narrow window by the front door. The screen blew out repeatedly until maintenance came to anchor it in.
The pools had to close because the filters didnt work. The restaurant was closed and the whole lobby was in the dark. Not a great time to be in Maui!

My husband and I had a wonderful time at Barbara’s condo. She was helpful throughout the process. The location is truly paradise with its ocean view. You can walk for miles, snorkel, dine, shop, swim in the ocean, and swim in beautiful pools. We loved not needing a car to get around. Barbara gave us great suggestions and when I mentioned the bathroom sink was draining slowly, within 20 minutes maintenance came and fixed it. The on-site restaurant was amazing too, very reasonably priced and great atmosphere. We also loved the free trolley that took you to Whalers Village. We were also able to pick up the city bus from Whaler's village which took us downtown to Old Laihana. Thanks Barbara!

This was our first visit to to Maui and we couldn’t be happier we chose this property ! Barbara is an excellent host. She’s so responsive and everything ran seamless. Her home is beautiful, as is the property ! We are a family of 4 (two teens) and we were very comfortable. The restaurant on site is very good. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars! Top notch! Thank you so much Barbara our family had such a wonderful stay and looking forward to a return visit !

We loved so many things about our stay at MKV. The beach is phenomenal and just a few steps beyond the generously sized swimming pool. The onsite restaurant and bar is really convenient, well priced, and the breakfasts were *so* tasty (as were the beverages). The property overall is really chill--if you're looking for relaxed vibes, this is your place. It is *not* a see-and-be-seen location, which was fine by us. Beautiful sunsets, really friendly and helpful staff, and all the amenities we wanted and need. It was hard to leave.

We had a great stay at this property. The resort was very nice, with a very friendly and helpful staff and terrific amenities. With a two-and-a-half-year-old and expecting wife we didn't get too adventurous on the island, but it didn't matter since everything we really needed was right there at the resort. The kiddie pool was the top highlight for our little one, and searching for geckos around the property was a close second! I would definately recommend this property for anyone looking for a perfect Maui get away!

Barbara is a gem to work with! She was quick to respond always with any questions we had. It was the perfect location for us with a quiet beach to relax at! We used the little extras in the condo for our road trip to Hana and the beach. We are flying home as I type this and I’m already missing the view! Thanks for the wonderful experience and all the suggestions you sent our way!

Barbara’s studio apartment was perfect. Location to the beach even more perfect. There were beach chairs and umbrella in the apartment which was awesome. Property is kept clean and staff was friendly. We couldn’t have asked for more. The location is close to everything you need or want to do. Thank you so much for allowing us to share a piece of your paradise.

This was the first time we have used VRBO and Barbara was fabulous. She reached out multiple times with additional information about the surrounding area, places for shopping, favorite spots, and restaurants, all of which were great! Highly recommend this property!
We were comfortable with 4 people...2 adults, 2 teenagers!

This place has everything, from all kitchen items, utensils, etc., to beach chairs, umbrella, and small wave board! Only steps to a pool, ocean,and resteraunt/ bar. Also a free trolley that takes you to shopping and other restaurants Did I mention the beach? At least 2 miles long, and beautiful. Great Snorkeling on entire beach. Saw a sea turtle, and Dolphins , first day. All beach gear needed can be rented right on the grounds ,by the beach. This Condo/Villa is PERFECT. My Wife and I absolutely loved it. We rented a car, the location is central to everything. The owner was incredibly helpful on all questions, and gracious when we asked for a slightly later check out. We plan on making this our GO TO place in Hawaii. Villa staff were also excellent. The security guard took pictures of us at sunset by, and on the beach. He did not want a tip, his pleasure. Awesome place and experience. The, on site resteraunt has great pancakes, and cocktails. My Wife did not want to leave. Come to think of it me either. Thank you Barbara, for everything, your place is awesome. Till next time.......soon!

We decided we will definitely return to Maui Kaanapali Villas for all future trips. The unit has everything you need, a beautiful view and comfortable furniture. The beach is calm and sandy, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. I loved having the bar right on the beach/pool area. And Castaway Cafe has really great food! Excellent communication with the host.

We stayed here for the first part of our honeymoon and we can’t say enough good things about this condo. The location cannot be beat! Walking distance to many restaurants on the beach walk, the best beach right out front, all of the amenities you could want including beach chairs and an umbrella. This is the perfect spot for a resort-feel location at a VRBO price. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We hope to be back one day!!!

The property is in a fantastic location. The view is gorgeous!! The room has everything you need and more. Barbara is a fantastic host and communicator!
The staff onsite are friendly. The beach is just a few steps away from the property and also right in front of a great snorkeling spot! The resort is connected to all nearby resorts with a beautiful beach path walkway. It's a 2 minute drive to the grocery store or the harbor that hosts the meeting spot for excursions. Maui Kaanapali Villas is a wonderful gem tucked in the middle of a few much larger resorts. Making it perfect for those who crave less crowded areas but easy access to explore!

My fiancé and I loved our stay. Barbara’s condo has everything you need for a perfect escape to Maui. We loved the property, the pools, the beach and the complimentary trolley to Whaler’s Village! The beach walk was perfect every morning. I’ve stayed in Maui before but this was by far my favorite resort and location.
We had all the kitchen items needed for grilling and cooking, plenty of towels and we used the tommy bahama chairs quite a bit. The view is beautiful from the condo. We can’t wait to go back. Barbara was very prompt with communication and sent helpful tips and recommendations in advance. She is a great host and we loved her condo.

Property is in a great location right along the beach with easy walking access to all of Kaanapali. Condo had everything we needed for the 2 of us to enjoy a 9 day stay. The mini cooler was perfect for holding a couple frozen water bottles and fresh cut fruit for our daily adventures. We threw the boogie boards in the back of our rental but unfortunately the waves were too small to amke use of them - maybe next time!
We will definitely be booking again with Barbara for our next Maui trip (hopefully very soon!). The only con was that we had to fly back to cold, foggy SF & couldn't stay in paradise forever. :(

The location of this studio condo was perfect on Maui. I believe it is located on the nicest beach on the island. The unit was clean, had all we needed including beach chairs, boogie boards and beach umbrellas. The kitchen was well equipped, the king size bed was comforatble and the view was terrifici! We were even blessed with a double rainbow one morning. Our host was so helpful providing us with tips for activities, shopping and the staff at MKV was amazing, They were friendly and helpful. We got fresh beach towels everyday and used the onsite BBQ for grilling our own mahi mahi. The pools were warm and near the beach. There was a library to share books for the beach or pool. The grounds were well kept and
very clean. The restaurant was great and right on the beach walk close to other neighboring resorts and restaurants. What a perfect get away for couples or families. We will be back!

This is our 7th year that we have stayed on this property and in one of Barbara's units. The grounds are inpecable and manacured daily. The staff is very friendly and Barbara the owner is extremely helpful and easy to work with. The pools are kept up daily and are not overcrowded. The Castaway Cafe has great food at a reasonable price...and a good happy hour. You can reserve an outside table for early dinner(5:30) and watch the whales while you eat and get great pictures of the sunset as you finish your last glass of wine. It doesn't get much better. We don't rent a car so we walk, use the green trolley(which is free) or use Maui Bus to get around the island. The Villa's are centrally located and it's an easy walk to the Time Market for groceries(and poke and sushi) or to Starbucks at the Marriott.
The beach is north of Black Rock and is far less crowded then south Kaanapali beach which is down by the Whaler. Barbara has all kinds of beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkels and fins in the closet for guests to use. The room is very clean and comfortable and you can see whales spouting in the morning while you are eating breakfast. We cook about 1/2 the time and the room is set up with enough pots, pans and dishes to do a good job meal planning. There are also some very nice stainless BBQ grills outside that work great for steaks, burgers and fresh fish. All be said this is very nice clean comfortable unit to stay in with a very helpful owner and thats why we keep coming back each year...and are already on the calendar for 2020.

We really enjoyed our stay. Nice restaurant on property. Great mai tai party on Wednesday. Clean bbq areas. Room was clean and worked for our purposes. Great view for a partial view, just a bummer that there is not full lanai to sit on. But we spent most our time out of room. Pool was amazing we never had issue getting a chair. Beach at resort was not crowded and was perfect for swimming. The cabana rental guy wouldn’t rent us the last cabana one day because one of the guests he made friends with “may” want it that day. Other than that, resort was perfect.

Just wrapped up a fantastic stay in A-317 at Maui Kaanapali Villas. You absolutely can't beat this condo for it's amenities, location on Maui's best beach, and the price! It can be mind numbing trying to decide on a Maui property with all the choices, so look no further!
Maui Kaanapali Villas is a low density property, more in the older Hawaiian style, on gorgeous perfectly manicured grounds. Great pool, hot tub, restaurant and bar, and a beautiful stretch of beach we think is the best on Maui. You can swim, snorkel, and whale watch and much more from here. Stunning sunsets too, which you can see from the condo, along with a nice view of the water. The unit itself is spacious, and very nicely appointed with Hawaiian style furniture and artwork. The condo has been completely updated with very nice touches including a super comfy king bed. It has a full kitchen with granite counter tops. It also comes with beach chairs, umbrella, and swimming and snorkel gear. It's in a great location with a short trip down to LaHaina, and you walk along the boardwalk up to Duke's restaurant. Many eateries are close by, along with a large modern grocery store. The owner, Barbara, is very easy to work with and very responsive to any questions. This place has it all, you really never need to leave the resort. And you won't find a better deal for the price. We'll be back that's for sure.

To start, the location on the beach, nearby shopping & snorkeling were excellent - the days we were able to enjoy it it was great to have all that be so close.
The rapidly approaching hurricane did cause us some other travel difficulties (having to cancel our road to Hana portion of the trip) and Barbara was great at keeping in touch and modifying our plans so we had a place to stay during the hurricane! The condo itself was a great place to hole up. Whenever we can make it back to kaanapali we’re definitely staying there again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The owners have thought of everything and were very quick to always communicate with us. We needed nothing after we arrived and our family of four was very comfortable. We saved money cooking breakfast and lunches and splurged on dinners. The location is awesome and the pool, restaurant and beach are all we could’ve hoped for. We look forward to returning. Thank you!

The condo is embedded into an extremly nice, tidy, clean and well Kanapalli Villas complex. Beach and pool are two min walk and amazing. The view from the pool and beach is one of the best in the world. The Castway Cafe Restaurant is very convenient and good. The room is well mainainted and very clean. Extremly compfortable for two people. A little tight for four (covertable sofa). We will definetly come back (even if it half around the world).

Thank-you again Barbara for the wonderful condo, we loved everything. The condo is always so immaculately clean and well stocked with dishes, beach chairs, umbrella etc. The resort as usual lived up to their great standards, very friendly and helpful staff, free coffee in the morning and mai tai party on Wednesdays (not to be missed.) We have stayed in other MKV properties but your condo is our favorite by far, and the best deal on Maui. We will back next year for sure. First time visitors staying here will soon realize what a great deal they have on the best spot in west Maui. Thank-you for making the rental process so easy

Maui Kaanapali Villas is an affordable, yet well-maintained and pleasant resort. We liked that it is located so close to the beach. It only takes 2-3 minutes from pretty much any spot on the resort to reach the beach. We also liked that the beach has a shaded grass area under large trees with free beach chairs. The pool is also great and comes handy when the ocean is too wavy or windy. Barbara's unit had everything we needed for our stay, including even some snorkeling equipment. The kitchen had a supply of essentials (salt, sugar, cooking oil, etc.) so that was very handy too. As some others have noted, the lanai is extremely narrow (can hardly fit two chairs) so we didn't use it much, but that was ok. The view from the suite is very nice and you can see the ocean pretty well. Overall, a great stay!
PS - for first timers in Maui - don't rush straight to Costco right from the airport. We did that and found that most of their produce is sold in gigantic packaging, so that you won't even be able to consume it within a week. There is a large Times Supermarket within a 3-minute drive from the resort (or you can even walk there), and a Foodland and Safeway in nearby Lahaina. I didn't notice much price difference between them and Costco, and the selection there is even better.

We want to thank you Barbara for our wonderful stay in your unit 517 at MKV. The 5th floor condo is very well appointed, and has a beautiful view! Gorgeous sunsets, and we could even watch whales from the condo! The artwork and color scheme reminds us of the sea with its blues and greens. Comfy bed too! We do a lot of our own cooking, and the unit has all the tools you need to whip up a great meal. The BBQs at MKV are also very nice, immaculately maintained. MKV sits on one of the best beaches on Maui, with great swimming, snorkeling, and beach walking. The unit comes with chairs and an umbrella which we used a lot! There's also a beautiful pool at MKV, as well as the Castaway restaurant and bar right on the beach. Each morning we walked down the Kaanapali boardwalk to get the day started. Very close by we enjoyed the Fish Market for fresh fish and fish tacos, and Okazuya Asian takeout is outstanding. Also loved going to the Seahouse at Napili Beach for breakfast! LaHaina is just minutes away with all its shops and restaurants, and of course the famous Hula pie at Kimo's. We finally did the road to Hana this year, and that was an unforgettable experience. Again, thanks for sharing your beautiful condo with us, we plan on coming back!

My husband and I spent 12 days at this wonderful condo. It was perfect! The condo was very clean and comfortable. Kaanapali is the best beach on Maui. The resort's grounds were beautiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. There is so much to do and see or it is also a great place to just sit back and relax. I would definitely recommend this condo and would go back in a second. We loved the beach walk that is right in front of the resort. We did go to the orientation the first morning and booked a few tours with them. We did a luau, snorkeling trip, Road to Hana, and a helicopter tour, which were all amazing. It was the perfect vacation!!!

Barbara was a very helpful and well organised host. Lots of information was provided and all our questions were answered.
The apartment is great. Very clean and comfortable. The resort is fantastic. The pool, easy access to beach, gardens and all facilities ensure the perfect holiday. The free trolley car that stops right at the resort front door is very convenient.
Kaanapali beach is really beautiful. We had a great holiday in Barbara's condo. I highly recommend this apartment.

My husband and I spent a week at this condo in May and could not be happier with our choice! I spent a lot of time searching for the right place and I definitely found it! It was big and roomy, beautiful ocean view, and in the perfect location! The restaurant on site was fantastic and all the staff were so friendly. We travelled the whole island and found that kaanapali and Lahaina were the best places to be! The resort was absolutely beautiful and seemed to be much quieter than the surrounding resorts which we really enjoyed! The pool was amazing and was never crowded! If you are looking for a condo to rent look no further this place has it all and is truly paradise! We can't wait to go back!!!! Thank you Barbara and family for allowing us to spend some time in your Maui home!!!!

This condo had everything we needed and more. Beach chairs,towels, boogie boards, and a fully stocked kitchen. We made this trip without our kids, but it would have worked great with them as well. The common BBQs are located right next to the condo as are the laundry and fitness center. The complex itself is nice with two pool/hot tub locations. One is busier and the other quieter. There is a beautiful lawn next to the beach equipped with plenty of lounge chairs.
Barbara's communication was above par. I would highly recommend this property and am already planning our 2017 trip.

gorgeous condo in great location. We traveled almost every mile and beach area on Maui in 9 days and wouldn't change locations. The condo is perfect. The grounds are manicured like a 5 star hotel. The staff and everyone were very professional, courteous and helpful. The beach and Castaway Cafe are wonderful spots to relax. The condo has great beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, everything ready to go! The bed was very nice and comfortable. The condo is extremely quiet. We didn't hear so much as a bump any night and slept very well. This condo is a wonderful value and we will stay again!
February 2015
This condo was extraordinary since it had a view of the ocean. Many other units nearby had parking lot views.
We used the hot tub nightly and got free, quality, coffee each morning from the first floor office area. (7-9)
The BBQ was clean and worked well for steaks. The closet had four beach chairs and umbrellas.
Each morning, we walked about a mile to a restaurant for breakfast: Dukes. A walk the other way led to a shopping village.
The unit was clean and well organized...no problems. We would come back again !

Wow where do we start? Thank you Barabara for sharing your beautiful condo with us! You were very responsive and helpful making this happen very easily. We just spent two weeks in this great studio unit and had a very tough time going back to the Pacific Northwest. It is even nicer than advertised, super clean and comfy with a very nice view of the ocean, island of Lanai, gorgeous gardens, and stunning sunsets. Love the Hawaiian decor and what a comfortable bed. The beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie board and large towels really came in handy. Maui Kaanapali Villas is a very nice resort, with immaculate grounds, two beautiful pools and hot tubs, and a spectacular beach. The entire staff was was very friendly and accommodating, and we met a number of super nice people here. No need to go anywhere else, this place has it all. Great for swimming, and there is excellent snorkeling steps down the beach. Also very nice having the Castaway restaurant and bar right on premises, we had several wonderful meals there. LaHaina is a few minutes away, but we found several outstanding take out places nearby, like Okazuya, and the Fish Market has great fish tacos and a top notch selection of fresh fish for the barbecues provided at MKV. There is a large and modern supermarket, Times Supermarket, close by with everything you might need including a pharmacy. Thanks again Barbara for offering such a fantastic unit in the wonderful Maui Kaanapali Villas. We will be back next year!

First off, I will say that the grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. The beach is spectacular, and not at all crowded. However, the cockroach situation is out of control. I had to contact the office twice while staying there and even though they had Eco Lab respond both times, the bugs were everywhere. We slept with the lights on and when we got home to a freezing climate, left our bags in the garage just in case we had any hitchhikers. The rose colored carpeting was worn and stained, the dishwasher door would fall to the floor if you were not holding on to it, and silk flowers?? The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were the cheap Styrofoam. The TV remote did not work, even after replacing the batteries. Forget the "lanai", it's a shelf with a railing, although that is disclosed in the description. The furniture is old and worn, the wood trim in the bath is so old it looks like it's in the process of being stripped. We would have moved, but being this was not booked through the property itself, we were stuck. Even though though rate was very reasonable, I would never stay here again.
