Perfect location and home. Host was so responsive and gracious! Would book again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful view! Perfect for family of four.

We absolutely loved the condo, beaches and area of Kaanapali Alli. This was our 1st time visiting Hawaii and this was exactly what we were wanting. The condo was just like the pictures. We grocery shopped so we ate most meals at the complex. We grilled twice and those worked well. Not a long walk to the beach. Donna (the concierge) planned our snorkeling (Gemini-would recommend) and pineapple plantation visit (would also recommend) so we didn’t have to do much other than show up. Would recommend this condo and area.

This condo was perfect for our family of 5. We loved the pool accommodations and found chairs easily. Some even had canopies. The restaurants were a short walk down the beach. We can't wait to come back!

A location! Great beach, boardwalk, restaurants and shopping all around the property. Property was clean and had all amenities advertised. Sliding door to second bedroom doesn’t offer much privacy or separation if others are in living area.

We have stayed in numerous units at the Kaanapali Alii resort over the years. This was the worst one. Great views but low quality interior, awful mattresses, dryer did not work along with other issues.

The only item missing was a beach umbrella - some of the other units include these, and they're a nice, inexpensive add as opposed to paying $60/day from the Alii. Bonnie was great.

This property is amazing!! Everything was perfect! The location is great, right in the middle of Kaanapali Beach. Short walk to Whalers Village. Even though the dryer wasn't working, the service manager went out out of his way to accommodate our need for clean towels. Definitely a 10 out of 10!!

We had a great time at this condo. It was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location is a bonus because there are so many great things to do. There was even a couple boogie boards and an umbrella to use on the beach. There were 5 of us and everyone had plenty of space. Would absolutely stay here again. Loved it

We had an amazing stay in this unit. Views are beyond perfect, sits on a perfect swimming beach. Walk to a variety of options of restaurants and shops at Whaler's village. Not too crowded - no issues getting a chair at the pool and nice combination of pool options. Staff was amazing. Unit was perfect - beds were super comfortable and I would go back again in a heartbeat. Able to coordinate a later checkout with ease.

We had such a great, comfortable stay. The condo was exactly what we were looking for. Clean, comfortable, close to the beach and had a great balcony/lanai with a view of the ocean. Communication with the host was great, they quickly answered any questions we had throughout our stay! Looking forward to booking again.

Outstanding views and comfortable beds. We enjoyed staying in this well-stocked, beautiful condo. Any special accommodation was met with friendly, quick communication from owners. Spacious condo, well appointed.
Karin J.
April 2025

Condo was beautiful! Tile floors, huge master bath with full laundry room, walk out patio steps away from the paved path to the beach, boogie board, lawn chairs and beach umbrella... We had an absolutely wonderful time. My only complaint would be that there were no drapes/blinds for the dining and kitchen windows. That being said the condo is clean, spacious and a quick minute walk out onto the beach.

We've stayed at many resorts and VRBO's and this one was by far the best. Plenty of space for a family with teenagers, absolutely beautiful view of the pool and ocean. Spacious kitchen living room and bathrooms. We will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.

Love Kaanapali - could walk to every thing. Unit was clean with a stunning Mountain View & partial ocean view. Nice to have air conditioning at the end of a warm day. Good stock of beach chairs, umbrellas & boogie boards for kids to use. Rented snorkeling gear from concierge which was surprisingly a good deal for the week (40!) Nice option to cook at poolside bbq’s too! Host was very responsive. Thank you for Sharing!

Great location and accommodations. Close to everything. Check in process 4 stars versus 5 stars because the front desk doesn't really manage this property so was a little back and forth waiting for room to get cleaned. We got in at 415pm so not bad. Only thing I would say could be improvement (isn't the condo problem) is the parking for large SUVs. The inside garage is only place you can park and if you have a large SUV very limited spots and very tight parking. The outside areas have like a 6' clearance so you can't park outside....Other than that (minor) a fabulous stay and we would certainly rent again....mahalo

After being owners for 45 years, this was our first time renting. The condo was well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay (beds were so comfy!).The owner was great when we had questions. Friendly and responsive which added to the overall experience.Kaanapali is still our favorite spot, and this resort remains the best on the beach. The staff is dedicated and hardworking, the families who vacation here are amazing, and you cant go wrong renting this condo!

We booked this property to stay in before and after our son’s wedding in Maui. The apartment had everything you needed - was so spacious. The highlight was the wonderful sunset views from the lanai! ( oh and the shower pressure was so good too!)

April 2025

The property was very nice and the location was fantastic. The biggest plus for us was the large and very functional kitchen. We brought our kids (12 and 9) and being able to cook meals at the condo was essential. I also really enjoyed the gym. It is large and has lots of cardio and weight options with new equipment.
Mark J.
April 2025

We had a great time. We only wished there were more regular cleanings as we had 3 young kids and the apartment got messy quickly. Probably not an issue for older families.

We had a great stay for our twin daughters sweet 16. The unit was better than the pictures in our opinion. The location was great- close to Whaler’s Village and other resorts. We appreciated that the unit had 2 boogie boards, a sun umbrella and a cooler for us to use. We had everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of 5. We would definitely return and highly recommend to anyone considering a stay here.

The condo is in a great location, clean and comfy beds. The pools, hot tubs, use of outdoor grills and access to beach is wonderful. Everyone onsite is helpful and friendly. The owner was very responsive to questions before arrival and question after arrival. We left an item behind and the owner helped follow up to find it. We enjoyed our stay! Will book here again if we can make another visit!

I have never rented a VRBO that was better in person than it appeared online - until now. We vacationed for a week with two 17 year old girls. The condo is spacious, private, and very well appointed. The bedding was comfortable and of high quality and the kitchen had absolutely everything needed. The washer and dryer were a happy surprise. The ocean view from the patio was 5 out of 5, with easy access to the beach, umbrellas and chairs via the superb staff at Alli. On site gym was new, large and clean. They say location is everything, and we certainly felt we had the best location on the beach - 5 minute walk to the restaurants and shops at Whalers Village, 10 minute walk to Black Rock for snorkeling, but frankly the snorkeling was best right off our private beach. We won't stay anywhere else next time we visit west Maui!

We got back two days ago from our amazing trip to Maui. The best thing about the Alii is the oceanfront location on Kaanapali beach, within walking distance to many other hotels, restaurants, and Whaler's Village. Working with the host was a pleasant experience, and responses were always polite and prompt. This unit has an even better view of the ocean from the lanai than pictured! We enjoyed use of the workout facility at the hotel and utilized towel service for the pool/beach use every day. The hotel staff at the pool and beach were all very kind and attentive. We also enjoyed using things like extra towels, cooler, and beach chairs and umbrella provided in the unit.The unit was clean enough when we arrived, with fresh bedding and towels, but we did notice things like splatters on some of the walls and doors and food residue on the kitchen cabinets. Things that may not get noticed or wiped down during a routine cleaning. Another small thing is that we were not aware that the hotel would hold a small security deposit upon arrival. This would normally not be an issue, but my sister's family, who do not have a credit card, arrived first and checked in. The funds were held from their bank account for our entire stay and the hotel would not allow us to change the hold to our credit card. Overall I would recommend this unit to other travelers and rate it 8/10.

Such a great rental, so conveniently located to the beach. If you forget something you just run and grab it and back in 2 minutes. Nice gym. Pool is small and packed but we love the ocean so didn’t bother us. Condo was clean and well stocked.
