A rare attention to all the details in his pristine and fully provided condo unit on the 8th floor with an ocean view.
Thomas’ communication is exemplary
Take a bow sir !l.
Will definitely book again.

We booked this condo for my elderly parents (74+) and they had a wonderful stay. Thomas made the whole process very simple and was very responsive. The location of this condo is outstanding. My parents really enjoyed the balcony and view. The condo was clean and stocked with everything they needed. The grounds are beautiful. They are already planning another trip and wanting to book this condo again. Would recommend this condo to anyone as Thomas is a great host.

The only bad thing I can think of is we had to leave. ☹ This is a perfect Maui stay option. The unit and property were well-maintained and had excellent amenities. Excellent view under the penthouse level and an accessible elevator in and out of parking, which was a breeze. The resort restaurant and bar staff were all friendly and attentive. Thomas’s check-in and check-out support was excellent. The beach chairs and umbrella were welcome support for beach days. Great local food options within walking distance (Food Truck Park is a not to miss) or a short drive to other resorts for fancier fare. The big supermarket down the street was well stocked and catered to locals and visitors alike (I found some items there that I could not find in the Big Safeway.)
All in all, if this is open when you plan to visit, book it. You will not regret it.

The view from the room was amazing; you could see the ocean and Lanai Island directly. The house was very quiet, and there were plenty of places to shop nearby. It’s very close to the beach, making it easy to walk there and watch the sunset. If we come back to Maui, we’d choose this place again!

Just as advertised. A clean, well kept studio with everything you could need. Having a well equipped kitchen was great as we cooked several meals. We also appreciated the cooler, beach chairs and towels for day trips. Nice that they were included so we didn’t have to rent them. Thomas was great and provided us with lots of information on the area. The complex is older but very well maintained and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Thomas!

We enjoyed our stay! Clean, well appointed, it is as described as well as the photos. The property was beautiful and we used both pools. We stayed 8 nights and stayed in for dinners majority of the time. Used the resorts BBQ several nights. I would consider this a fairly large studio. The bed was fantastic! Highly recommend!
Thomas, appreciate your communication with us!
Thank you.

When booking my stay at Maui, I was hoping to get a resort-like experience with top-notch amenities at a price that did not break the bank (no $400+ per night stays at a resort). This unit checked off all of the boxes. Clean room, plenty of amenities (beach chair, boogie board, ice cooler, binoculars), and having access to the resort pool was really awesome. 11 out of 10!
May 2024
The property was just fantastic! We enjoyed the comfortable bed, kitchen and view! The condo was situated perfectly to have morning coffee on the balcony and gaze at the ocean. Saw several whales which was a bonus! The condos are located right by the beach. The pool was so beautiful along with the surrounding area. The mia tias are a must if hanging out in the pool. Thomas is a wonderful host and answered all of our questions and made the stay so effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This unit was spotless, tastefully decorated, uncluttered and extremely well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the view was incredible. They really thought of everything in putting this rental together. The property is older but extremely well maintained and in a great location. Walking to local restaurants and shops is easy and there is a grocery store right across the street. There are numerous beaches within walking and driving distance in either direction. I love this area of Maui as the location is ideal if you don’t want to drive every day. You could have a fabulous holiday at this property without turning a wheel.

The location is perfect as it is nearby many places. A very thoughtful unit— you could tell they put a lot of thought into it. I am soo appreciative to be able to stay here. Can’t wait till next time!! No complains at all. The perfect getaway unit. Thank you!!

My mom and I were planning our very first trip to any of the islands. This can be a very overwhelming process, figuring out where to stay for 7 days, traveling 11 hours by plane from Wisconsin wanting it to be perfect but also within budget. My mom came across " Beautiful View High-Rise in Kaanapali". Being a VRBO rental I was a little nervous and hoping it would be as listed, took the chance and booked! Thomas was in touch with 24 hours of booking letting us know he's our host and already asking what he can do for us and our trip was MONTHS out! 2 weeks before our trip I emailed him to ask if he had any recomendations on tours/food that we should consider booking in advance and he sent us an entire packet of info with the who, what, where and why to go there! It was so helpful we went to many places he suggested! He sent us checkin information and days ahead as discussed he gave us the specific details on time as promised. We arrived and didnt have to mess with checking into resort and after traveling all day just went right to our room which was the best part! It is EXACTLY to a tee as advertised in the photos! THAT VIEW THOUGH!!!! It was Clean and he had everything you could need. We bought food and drinks. We had coffee and bfast on lanai every morning. Packed lunches using his cooler for the beach along with towels, chairs, umbrellas ect. He even had bincoluars to watch for whales!!! So much in walking distance, we rented a car and only used half a tank. 10/10 recomend!

Listing is as advertised! We had a great time staying at this beautiful property. The unit is very clean, cozy, and has a great view. Make sure to eat at the restaurant!
Property manager was very nice and the provided cooler, pool chairs, and umbrella really came in handy for our time at the beach.

Unit was right off of the elevator, which was very handy and never noisy. Beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella are very appreciated, also the extra beach towels. The view is even better than the pictures. There are binoculars, a flashlight, and even insulated mugs-things we normally bring from home, they are wonderful extras to have in the unit. We would definitely stay again. The resort staff was also awesome. The Beach House restaurant on site is cheaper and better than Castaway Cafe farther south.

We arrive very late but the instructions and directions were very precise and we walked right in as if we were at home. The unit had everything we needed and more. The birds would welcome us every morning and breakfast on the lanai with the view and sound of the surf were a dream.
We had a totally different view of Maui from the Kaanapali side of the island. We also became very familiar with the drive to Kihei, uplands and eastern side. The January storms subsided to allow us excellent quality beach and snorkeling time. Well thats all for the good times and now the long flight back to -24 (-11F) substituting snow for sand.

This beautiful unit and our host Thomas exceeded all of our expectations. When we weren't relaxing on the lanai enjoying the amazing view and watching the whales, we were enjoying the 2 pools, restaurant and pool bar. Thomas checked in with us before and after check in to make sure we had everything we needed, and even texted me to wish me a Happy Birthday. We would absolutely rent this unit again!

From start to finish our stay was fantastic. Thomas had amazing outreach before we even landed in Hawaii. He supplied an insiders guide to the area, made the check in process a breeze, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The condo was gorgeous, walking distance to amazing food, private pools, and of course the ocean. I’ve never used VRBO before but he made me a believer. When we come back we’ll definitely be staying here again!

The unit was clean, beautiful views. The beach and 2 swimming pools were so close. A great location. Thomas was great- check in and out were easy. Beach towels and beach chairs were available for use. The little patio was wonderful to use in the evening and listen to the waves hitting the shore. Highly recommend and would stay there again!

My stay at Kaanapali Shores was an exceptional experience. The location was perfect, offering stunning ocean views and easy access to local dining and attractions. The condo provided ample amenities for beach activities, and kitchen was well equipped making every day enjoyable and hassle-free.
A special mention goes to our host, Thomas, who was incredibly attentive and ensured our stay was comfortable and memorable. His dedication to guest satisfaction was evident and greatly appreciated.
Overall, Kaanapali Shores is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a beautiful and convenient Hawaiian beachside escape. Highly recommended!

They property was perfect for me and my wife, kitchen was pretty well equipped. Bed was very comfortable, and the area is very close to lots of shopping and restaurants.
When it is hot the AC does take a bit to cool down the place, but once cool it is very comfortable.

We just returned from our stay at the condo a couple days ago and would give it more than 5 stars if we could. The fires were very recent so we were somewhat hesitant to go, but Thomas provided a very detailed description of what to expect, enabling us to make an informed decision. The condo was perfect for us - two people. It had all the amenities we needed for daily trips to the beach (beach towels, ice chest, beach chairs). It was well stocked with dishes and items for cooking. It's a great location - walking distance from several restaurants and shops. The views from the balcony were stunning. We enjoyed amazing sunsets.
Thomas was particularly helpful because I had some surprise business needs come up during the trip requiring special resources. He contacted the front desk to get me some info and recommended business resources nearby. He was very responsive and supportive of all of our needs.
We're so glad we went and specifically that we stayed at this wonderful condo!

My now Fiancé and I stayed at Kaanapali Shores under the VRBO of Thomas for ten days. I have used VRBO only a couple of times but I can say that Thomas went above and beyond! He would check in periodically making sure everything was going smoothly and that needs were being met. The room is very well kept and basic beach items are readily available that many may not bring for a vacation. During our stay, the fire of Lāhainā broke out. We lost power/ internet coverage prior to the fire but Thomas was still making sure we were alright and reminding us that there are emergency lights/ candles available in the room. We had an amazing time and highly recommend this for your stay in Maui!

We had a great week at the KS.
Thomas reached out several times during our stay to make sure our stay was perfect. Unit was clean and well stocked. Resort was great with the two pools, restaurant and quick access to the beach.
Not a lot of ‘sit down’ restaurants in the area but tons of take out places and variety with the strip mall across the street, down the road and the food trucks right next to the property.
We definitely would recommend staying here. It’s only a studio but ample room for two with the small kitchen, sitting area and small deck overlooking the grounds and beach view.
Thanks Thomas. We had a nice relaxing week after our daughter’s wedding the first week on Oahu :)

We really enjoyed our stay from beginning to end. And even before the trip began,Thomas provided nice travel info and restaurant booking tips.
The resort was great with friendly staff, a nice restaurant onsite, nice pool area and beach with great sunsets.
The unit was clean, comfortable and well laid out. It felt surprisingly spacious for a studio
The unit is close to the elevator which made bringing luggage up from the parking garage very easy. The checkin and checkout were easy.

My husband and I had the best week staying at this condo! To begin with, the check in and out process was great with simple, detailed notes. The location of the rental inside the building was perfect because it was close to the elevator without hearing anyone coming in and out. The closeness made the transition to the beach and parking garage less than 2 minutes. The location of the building is perfect because it's directly off the main highway, right next to a huge food truck court (about 20 trucks), across the street from a large grocery store and strip mall (massage spa, Jazz bars much fun to hear live musicians strumming guitars). We didn't use the pool because we're big beach goers but families seemed to really be enjoying the pool. We snorkeled with turtles and lots of fish right at the beach! We loved that we easily found a parking spot every time we parked and that the parking lot felt safe because of the attendants at the gate. We loved drinking coffee and evening drinks on the lanai every day. We will be back!

This is our 3rd stay at Kaanapali Shores and this was the best unit we have stayed in. The view from the lanai is beautiful and the unit had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. The host, Thomas, got back to us within minutes of us texting a question and he would follow-up to make sure we were satisfied with his answer. We are both over 80 and this resort is perfect for us. The resort is, also, great for young families. There is ample open space for young people to play. Having 2 large pools is great. Although the pool by the restaurant/bar is not designated for adults only it is quieter with fewer families.We look forward to a return trip!

Location was convenient and met our needs. I had made full payment back in January and we had a family emergency a few days before our trip and our teen son joined us last minute on our trip and we were charged an additional fee for his stay. The hotel portion of this building allows for 3 people to stay in their units, the vrbo owner does not, so that was a misunderstanding and we’re told to pay an additional charge $40 per night or have our reservation cancelled at about 9pm that evening while we were already in bed for the night. Of note, a similar unit was renting below us for about $130 less a night and was available during our stay, which I was researching for backup, so shop around some before you commit, pretty sure I overpaid. The unit itself was stocked with kitchen supplies and overall decent. The view is nice and there will be some pool noise but the resort seems to be good about shutting it down at 10pm. Th short walk to the beach and location to parking was nice. We didn’t spend much time in the unit because we were out hiking and spending time on the island, so it makes a good home base. I used the laundry facilities a couple of times to wash clothes and towels. There is a vacuum in the room, so I cleaned mid week to make sure things were well taken care of.

Thomas was an excellent host with an absolute lovely Condo Unit. The Unit had a beautiful Ocean View and everything you needed to enjoy your stay in Maui. The resort has 2 great pools and the Ocean side restaurant had very good food and was reasonably priced. Thanks Thomas for a great stay. Steve and Jody

We loved our stay at this property. I could sit on the balcony and watch the whales in the morning with the binoculars provided. The room is small but provided everything we needed including nice, big beach towels (and lots of hooks to hang them on to dry), beach totes, and nice beach chairs. The waves could be rough at the beach but there is a larger beach area just a few steps south. The food trucks next door were amazing and had a nice place to sit and eat. Thomas was always available to answer any questions. We highly recommend this property! Gorgeous view!

In our opinion “Thomas and crew” did not make a good faith effort to disclose the construction going on at the hotel. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by extremely loud jackhammering sounds all around our unit. The noise shook the room, bed and floors. This was made worse by an owner a few doors down who was using a sander to refinish his front door (on the weekend). The construction “notice” was buried in a lengthly description of endless boasting of upgrades and improvements made to the unit. The unit is nice and has a view of buildings. Not the ocean. At least not unless you sit in the very far left corner of the lanai. Pool chairs were dirty. Many of them were ripped or cut. Very worn out and not cleaned at all. Inside the unit, there were numerous stickers all over the place dictating obvious things such as not putting metal in the microwave, or which towels you should use in which ways. We were then accused of using the wrong towels for makeup removal (of NON waterproof makeup/easily washable). There are so many rules and countless text messages demanding that we give feedback, send our flight information prior to arrival, etc etc. It was very off putting and hindered on what we expected to be an escape in Maui. I would 100% NOT recommend renting any property from “Thomas and crew” unless you’re up for a misleading listing.

January 2023
We loved the ocean view (even seen whales spotting), 2 pools, beach, beach chairs, binoculars, beach towels, sunscreen/shampoo, coffee thermos, grocery store, restaurants, laundry, front desk clerk, hot tub, balcony, big beds, tv/stocked kitchen/bathroom, spacious, nice decor, close to elevator, clear instructions, lots of towels, message book.
Con: 45 min from airport ($95 for taxi), parking fees, no extra blanket, too many messages from owner (although he was trying to be helpful), opening and locking door was tricky at first.

We enjoyed our stay at this well-appointed and spacious condo. Thomas made an incredible effort to accommodate our schedule and keep us abreast with critical updates, which we appreciated.
Upon arrival, we immediately noticed the simple but tasteful furnishings. Our favorite feature of the space was the balcony view of the ocean. Every morning we felt rejuvenated from sleeping on a comfortable bed and being greeted by incredible views.
Stocked with pantry essentials, quality kitchen tools, and cookware, it had all the basics to cook a great meal. Sadly, A storm had just come through, so we could not appreciate the beach during our stay. Pools and jacuzzis were crowded, but we did enjoy them nonetheless.
We have stayed in other condos on Maui, but this was by far the cleanest one. We did not see or feel grime nor witness any insects in this condo which is unusual for any accommodation on the islands. I even felt comfortable enough to walk barefoot on the carpet! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider staying here again.

Great location and close to everything Kaanapali Beach has to offer. Super walkable to the best stretch of beach, Duke’s Restaurant, Times Market, Snorkel Bob’s across the street. Host Thomas communicated with us throughout the trip to check on our stay. Kaanapali Shores offers great ocean views, a beautiful beach, and two pools though the beach front pool was under construction. The pool construction was a little annoying though we noticed several resorts along the beach had construction projects ongoing too.

My wife and I had an awesome stay at Kaanapali Shores. I did a lot of research and then had a chance to see other properties during our stay. Kaanapali Shores is one of the best values in the area. The resort grounds and amenities can rival some of the more expensive resorts to the south, and it is way nicer than comparably priced units to the north. Being right next to the grocery store (full-sized) and food trucks was a huge bonus, plus other good food options within walking distance.
I'll say it's not worth staying here for it's beach. It is small (and sometimes non-existent) and there are big rocks just into the water. However there is a larger beach a few minutes walking to the south, and there are a number of great beaches within a 10-15 minute drive.
Now for the unit. The view is spot-on, the unit was super clean, and it was stocked as well as any VRBO I've stayed in. Lots of basic necessities as well as beach chairs, cooler, boogie board and more. The bed was very comfortable, and it was relatively quiet considering it overlooks the pool and is right off the elevator.
Thomas is by far the best host I've ever worked with. I had a negative experience with a previous VRBO so I was especially looking for reviews with positive host feedback. The reviews were correct. His communication is awesome, answering all questions immediately and reaching out during important steps in the process. It is very important to him that guests have a superior experience. There were no issues at all, but if I did have a problem, I was confident it would be handled quickly. He gives a very detailed run-down and area guide ahead of time that addresses most questions. He really did think of everything.
I would absolutely stay in this unit again. We had friends staying in another unit on property, NOT owned by Thomas. Their experience was much different than ours, and it made me even more thankful to stayed in Thomas' unit.

Came here for a wedding and stayed 5 nights. This condo was absolutely perfect for me and a friend. We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast every morning on the Lanai. The location is perfect and gives breathtaking views of the pool and ocean. Thomas was an excellent host and was always quick to respond when I would reach out. This place had everything you could need. So many extra touches, too. Such as beach chairs, an ice chest, even beach bags to haul our stuff down to the pool and beach everyday. We would definitely recommend staying here and we hope to be back, as well.

A clean, comfy home away from home, close to good food and stocked with useful amenities for our daytime activities (cooler, beach stuff). Thomas is a friendly, attentive host and easy to communicate with. We enjoyed the pools, hot tub, and tennis courts, and the shops right on the resort property came in handy for sundry items we forgot to bring with us. Would book again.

If I could give this listing 10 stars I would. Everything was fantastic, even better than what the pictures show! Host is really great at communicating, both before and during the stay. We had no issues, but I imagine if you did they would be solved very quickly. The condo is stocked with everything you need. On top of that, the entire resort is beautiful, pools are clean, and the resort staff are some of the most friendly people you will come across. Beach was accessible during our stay, although we didn’t utilize it, there were plenty of people out there. There is beach gear and beach towels available in the room, and also towel service and more rentable beach gear through the resort, so don’t have to worry about packing those. There are also plenty of walkable shops and restaurants, although I would recommend renting a car if you plan on visiting Maui. If this listing is available during your stay, BOOK IT! You won’t be disappointed!

I stayed in this unit the last week of April 2022 as a single since I was attending a family wedding and combining vacation time as well. This unit is on the 8th floor (out of 9), and has an awesome view of the gardens down below, pool, restaurant, and ocean. Balcony is very spacious. The unit itself was immaculate. It smelled clean and refreshing as you entered. This is a studio as it does not have a separate bedroom, but for 2 people and if 1 sleeps on the couch, it is perfect! King size bed was so comfortable to sleep and the couch and chair were just as comfortable. TV had a couple of issues but were immediately resolved by owner. Kitchen area with counter space was plentiful and dishes, glasses, utensils, pots, pans, ect were enough. Very happy with refrigerator, microwave, stove, and dishwasher. Nice table with 2 chairs. Bathroom very clean.... nice sink area, along with toilet and shower. Shower always worked well with enough hot water. Items in closet to use such as beach chairs and towels also a nice touch. A/C worked very well and the brand new slider and screen doors were a pleasure. If you are going to Maui, this is the place to stay with a beautiful clean, roomy studio, great ammenities, and amazing views. The owners are also very attentive, friendly, and are always available for any questions or needs you may have. I would recommend this unit 150% !!! You will not be disappointed.

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our first 3 nights on Maui. Thomas is the best host ever! So welcoming & responsive to questions - incredible!
The unit itself is exactly as advertised. Great views of the ocean; very conveniently located to amenities and short distances to great sandy beaches.
Even though this is a private rental agreement, the few times we did ask the reception staff questions, they were extremely helpful & polite. We will most definitely stay here again when we return to Maui.
Thank you Thomas for everything 😊

My husband and I spent 10 days at this location and it worked well for our needs. Most days were spent at the beach. There is no beach in front of the property but we had a system.....drive to Kaanapali beach parking (18 free spots!) early in the morning with our chairs and cooler, run/walk back to the condo, eat breakfast and then walk back and parked our chairs in the sand for the day! (2 miles one way). Gave us some exercise and didn't have to pay for parking! Also, there is a food truck area right near the condo (5 minute walk) that we enjoyed a few times! Thomas made things very easy for checking in and out and we would stay here again in a heartbeat1

This condo was perfect for my husband & I. It was clean, check in was easy, and the host was super helpful. I would definitely stay here again. Great view of the ocean from the condo & close walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. Overall, wonderful experience.

This property exceeded my expectations. Hawaii is always wonderful when you come from the PNW in the wintertime. But I am a little picky when it comes to accommodations.. Cleanliness is of upmost importance but so is the general overall ambiance. This studio condo met all of my requirements and more. The property manager made us feel like we were friends, not just weekly renters. He did everything to make our stay perfect. The resort is beautiful, the view from the condo can't be beat. Sitting on the deck each morning,, sipping coffee and watching the waves, (sometimes whales), - what can be a better start to a day? For the two of us, the size of the condo was perfect. Nice kitchen with everything you can possibly need, comfortable living space, great bathroom area, shower, etc. Absolutely no complaints. Loved the ocean-side pool. The little restaurant and bar offered great food/island drinks, etc. for a reasonable price (unusual in Hawaii). The property is close to everything else you might want.
I highly recommend the Kaanapali Shores Resort and, in particular, this unit. Thank you for letting us live so comfortably in your incredible little piece of paradise.

Thomas was an excellent host. The property is beautiful. The pools and hot tubs were amazing. The room was spotless and had plenty of amenities. Thomas even provided a bottle of champagne to help us celebrate our honeymoon!. The staff at the bar/restaurant were friendly. We definitely recommend staying here and will be staying here the next time we go to Maui.

The host was super accommodating and quick to respond to every message. The unit itself was great and clean. The complex itself is in a great location and has its own amenities to enjoy. Would definitely come back!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 10th anniversary and it was exactly what we were looking for.
The resort itself is great, it has two pools and hot tubs with a restaurant and bar in between. The staff are all friendly. Parking is a breeze. There’s a grocery store right across the street from the resort, which is a plus if you plan to use the kitchen.
The studio itself is situated perfectly to overlook the really pretty tropical pool and waterfalls, the ocean waves, and the island of Lanai in the distance. The sunsets are spectacular here, and you can always hear the ocean.
The condo has everything you need, and then some. We cooked several meals during our stay, and that worked out perfectly for us. The owner also graciously provides beach chairs and a cooler (a huge bonus whether you’re headed poolside or beach!).
Overall this is the perfect choice if you’re looking for that resort life while still being able to explore the island and have some adventures. The host is friendly, communicative, and helpful. We would happily recommend this place to anyone visiting Maui.

walking inside the unit, you feel a sense of warmth as if you have come home to your own place. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything just flowed with the unit and you out the balcony and the view is just magnificent. The only thing missing really is a washer and dryer, staying for a week is hard when you don't have a washer and dryer in the unit. The laundry mat in lahaina is kind of sketchy but other than that, it's truly a beautiful unit. I would definitely stay there again.

Second time staying in Kanapali area of Maui. This condo was perfectly set up with everything we possibly could have needed. The views made for a wonderful sunset dinner or quiet morning coffee. The beach in front of the property was just big enough for us to enjoy, but I do see how at some times of the year there will not be much beach front - don't worry, there is grass area to allow you to layout and listen to the waves. The snorkeling is better down the beach about 15 minute walk or short drives away, but the property offers rentals for the snorkeling or beach gear you may need. Thomas was very communicative and helpful throughout the process. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The property room was so lovely and we enjoyed our stay there very much. Thomas is helpful and kind and always responded immediately whenever we contacted him. The entire property with nice pools and close beach access couldn't have been better. It's a beautiful property overall. We hope to come back again soon.

From the view from the lanai, to the lush gardens below, to the choice of two pools, to the onsite restaurant and bar, it was all perfect. To top it off, the host Thomas was extremely responsive -- quick replies, accommodating our needs, and helpful pointers when needed. THANK YOU.

We got so lucky when getting this condo. My whole family rented different rooms at the same location and none of them had what we had. The owner made sure we were well informed about the room and all the amenities. The room had everything we needed for our stay including a bottle of champs that we unforchantly didn't get to drink because we were so busy on our stay. Thank you for making my first time in Maui a great one!

Beautiful view, clean room/property, A/C worked amazingly, and place stocked with little things you might need or forget. The pool out front the room is open until 11pm which creates a bit of noise but that wasn’t an issue for us, just an FYI. A sign stated that the owners were replacing the sliding glass doors soon which may alleviate that sound too. Overall would definitely stay again!
