The complex was very nice. It had everything we needed. We cooked everyday and it was perfect. The bedrooms have comfortable beds and they were very clean. The place is outdated and could use renovation but it was a very pleasant stay. It has a very good location.

The place is nice and in a good location, however it was incredibly hot inside during the day. The guest room had an air conditioner, so that room was fine. The master bedroom does not have an air conditioner, so it was too hot to stay in. I slept on the couch every night with 3 fans and every door open. The master bedroom never cooled down. I shut the blinds to block the sun and opened the windows at night, but it was still in the 80s in there. My girlfriend decided not to come, because the place was too hot. She literally canceled a Maui trip. From about 1 pm until about 7 pm, the place is too hot inside to sit comfortably. The lanai faces the afternoon sun, so that can't be utilized until sunset. I would have left, but I figured that I wouldn't have received a refund and I didn't want to lose about $1800. The solution is easy...place a window air conditioner in the master bedroom. BTW, after hundreds of hotel and VRBO stays, I've never made a comment.

This Condo is centrally located on the west side so a lot of beaches, shops and restaurants are within a 15-20 minute drive. We were only a 1/4 mile from the beach, since the complex is elevated the sunset views from the lanai are stunning. The place was clean, comfortable and away from the congestion so it was easy to come back after a busy day and relax.

Staying here was an absolute dream! The view was AMAZING! Close to so many restaurants and shopping. And very close to Kaanapali Beach, which we all enjoyed the most. Plenty of nearby excursions to explore. We did a few easy hikes and the kids went parasailing. This was our 5th time visiting Maui so location and nice accommodations were important to us and the place did not disappoint. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home.

This house is in a perfect location! The home is comfortable (could use a little update) but has everything you need. The view from the balcony is wonderful and can watch the sunset every evening. One of the best parts, however, is the beach located at the bottom of the hill- literally a 2 min drive. Sea turtles and a reef for shore snorkeling doesn't get any better.

In this era of global warming the bar must be raised to obtain a 5 star rating. VRBO needs to be more up front in requiring owners to include the type of climate controls the rental unit contains. Rentals not capable of maintaining a 70 F temp should have that noted upfront in the property description. Overall the unit was clean and well equipped. Back bedroom had a window ac unit, and it was much needed. Afternoon sun heated the other bedroom and the living room/kitchen. Noise levels from occupied neighboring units similar to hotels. Kitchen well equipped, bathrooms and showers clean, beds and furniture comfortable. All appliances worked well.

Came to Maui for a wedding and found this gem. Absolutely loved the updated vibe of the condo and the view from the balcony and primary bedroom was simply spectacular. Checkin was easy and seamless. We are a family of 6, including 4 adult children. The condo was very clean and stocked with everything needed for the beach. We walked the nearby beach every morning, returned to the condo for breakfast and then returned to the beach all afternoon into the evening on most days we weren’t doing wedding things. The location is close to many places to eat. Our favorite find was a hole in the wall called Java House. Good selection of food and live music. The full-sized washer and dryer was convenient. The AC and fans were much appreciated. While we didn’t use it, there was a Traeger grill on the patio. Communication with the management team was awesome. They were kind, professional, responsive, and not intrusive at all. The perfect host! Thank you for letting us stay here and we hope to be back next year!

I recently stayed at this beautiful property in Kaanapali through Vrbo, and it exceeded all expectations. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-appointed. The view from the balcony was breathtaking, and the location was ideal for exploring the island. In summary, if you’re looking for a relaxing getaway, I highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to return!

This was even better than expected! Everything about the place was perfect and it was easy from beginning to end. It was comfortable and quiet and all the amenities that you could possibly think of were taken care of. We took advantage of the concierge and booked a few excursions and they were amazing. Definitely coming back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great view and great place to stay. Close to a lot of things to do. The property itself could use a few updates. The 2nd bedroom shower needs to be adjusted as the hotter you make the water the slower the shower head goes so that was not the best trying to get hot water but a good spray coming out of the shower head. All 3 bedrooms have air conditioning along with the living room.I will say that the management company needs to represent better! Bree Lewis from the Maui Lodging Properties LLC was so rude and disrespectful to me right before the trip when I questioned that there was air conditioning in all 3 bedrooms. She sent me an email saying that it was only 2 bedrooms with AC so I decided to call her instead of emailing back and forth and she proceeded to say I was not right despite the review that said it had been added about a year ago and then tried to tell me how it would have to be added etc. etc. like I did not understand an AC window unit and how it worked. I told her that was not what the description said it said AC and she got rude and stated she would return all my money. I told her we were leaving in 2 days and she could not cancel it as we had no where else to stay and I would let her know by the end of the day what my decision on staying there was. Within 2 minutes of hanging up I get an email from her saying she works remotely, and it was early there and she got a hold of someone and it did have AC in all 3 bedrooms!! I am sorry but she should have checked first if she did not know and then emailed me regarding the AC status versus just going off and being rude when she clearly did not know the answer and was wrong! If she is who people talk to you might want to rethink who is responding to people renting it! She also never said I apologize I was wrong! Management company needs to do better!

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: Myself, husband, and two friends stayed at the Kaanapali Plantation #16 for 7 nights, and I have to say that the condo is perfect for a beach vacation like this. The morning views of the ocean from both lanais are exactly what you'd think about when you are waking up in Hawaii. The first floor is well decorated, large kitch with new appliances, nice large dining room table and comfy couch. The first floor half bathroom & laundry came in very handy. The master bedroom & attached bathroom were both very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Our friends said the same about their rooms. Bree and her staff from Maui Lodging were super helpful and so was her recommendation of having Matteo from World Class Concierge help with all our excursion needs. I couldn't recommend this condo enough. Just know that it isn't DIRECTLY on the beach, but driving to one takes 2 minutes and it's more fun to explore many different beaches anyway.

This property is nicely located near many popular beaches. While overlooking a golf course and, then much further away, the ocean, the road separating us is quite busy and noisy at times. We joked that a waves sound machine would be nice. Everything that they said they had was truly provided. Having nice beach chairs was great and much appreciated. Some “get-you-started” laundry and dish detergent pods was nice. If they had a magic wand to control the weather then it would be perfect.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Plantation #52. The property management was responsive, however, they are closed on weekends so if you have any issues with the unit, you'll need to wait until the weekdays to have them resolved. The location was good if you plan to stay in the west side most of the time, otherwise, you'll find yourself driving a lot. We found ourselves having to drive North (Kahului and Wailuku) quite often because of hiking, places to eat, etc. There were a few issues such as incorrect wifi password that was provided and the washer not functioning but those were resolved quickly. In terms of the wifi password, I called the office but they did not have the password and so we checked the modem to get the password and got the wifi working. In terms of the washer not working, they offered to pick-up our clothes and wash them for us but we declined. However, they sent their maintenance guy over in the morning and he was able to fixed the washer. Last note, the floors were a bit dirty but there were swiffer wet wipes in the kitchen so I used those to clean the floors. The room with the view could use a new mattress because it sunk in the middle so it wasn't the most comfortable mattress to sleep on. It also definitely needed an AC in that room because it gets the most sun in that room which made it extremely warm/hot.

The location and space of the house were perfectly ideal for our stay. A few, very fixable, issues that would have made our stay a bit better. The washing machine broke on the first day of our week long stay- an attendant came to look at it but was unable to fix without ordering parts. We managed to get by with doing only small loads, but a bit inconvenient. The hot water in the master shower went from burning hot to freezing cold, not much in between. The pillow cases and sheets were a bit worn, to the degree that we preferred to purchase new pillow cases and left them for the house. Thank you for an overall good first experience in Maui.

This was a lovely spot to stay with the family. The property was clean, beds were comfortable, and the location was close to Napili and Kapalua beaches. They provided beach towels, chairs, and soft coolers which was a really nice touch!! The only detail I'd say would have made it perfect was to give us directions in the binder to where to drop off our registration paperwork - it took us a while to figure out where the on site property manager's office was. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing, and would absolutely rebook this exact location in the future.

Our entire family really enjoyed spending our vacation at this 3 bedroom property with an amazing view where we watched the whales jumping from the porch in the morning. It was very convenient to Whalers Village (walking distance) and to all the beaches including the Fleming public beach in Kapalua. This unit was very clean, newly renovated, had everything if you wanted to prepare your meals in the amazing kitchen, outside grill, or even if you needed beach chairs and towels to relax on the beach for the day. It was like staying at your own private four seasons and we are planning on come back next year!

The home has separate bedrooms and baths which were very convenient for the privacy of different family members. The kitchen was very spacious. Many people could be cooking and visiting at the same time. The two ovens and barbecue allowed for large meals. Since there was no street parking it was nice that the driveway had room for 6 cars at a time. The pool was large enough for good games such as Marco Polo with 8+ children and adults. The views of the ocean from both levels and the landscaping added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. Thank you for letting us rent this home which could be called a Villa!

My husband and I brought our daughter, her husband and their 3 teens to Lahiana. Everything we wanted to do was within a 5 minute drive. The condo was lovely and accommodated 8 comfortably. Beach chairs and beach towels were provided along with beach umbrella. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals (except the food of course!) I did have a hard time figuring out the main room tv. Some step by step directions would have been helpful.
