We had an amazing stay at this absolutely beautiful condo!! The condo is very spacious, newly updated and has the most gorgeous views from the wraparound balcony! The location is perfect, right in the middle of Kaanapali beach with a beautiful boardwalk along the entire stretch of beach. We also loved the convenience of Whalers Village next door. Being able to walk to dinner most evenings was super convenient. We would highly recommend a stay in this property!!

When things go wrong, and they do, the true metal of a company or individual comes through. The management of this property, Maui Resort Rentals, Inc, went above and beyond for our family. A big "thumbs up" for Miguel Cruz Romano and Hope T. I will not stay at a property that you do not manage. Our 30 year wedding anniversay family celebration is a beautiful lifelong memory and you definately helped make that true.

We had a great time in this unit. It was upgraded and clean. Only issue for us is we love to sleep with the doors open at night to feel the breeze. Unfortunately, we did not realize this unit was directly over the shopping area, and therefore the fans on the roof made noise all night long. Also, when sitting on the balcony at night, it was slightly distracting. As long as you keep the slider shut at night you will have no issue. Otherwise, everything else was perfect and exactly as described/shown.

I don't know why, but I thought that this was at the other corner of the building (ocean front), not the back side. Picture was a little difficult to show that. But nevertheless, Very clean and wonderful. Only minor negative is the morning noise from Whalers Village when supplies are delivered to the restaurants, etc.
