Diana was such a great hostess and responded immediately to any questions. The view from the living room was spectacular! I was really surprised with the number of spices available already so we didn’t have to purchase anything for seasonings. There were such an assortment of dishes that we didn’t have anything that we were missing. I would definitely recommend this place.

The property location is excellent, view of the ocean to watch the whale from the lanai. Property on a golf course, and 3 minutes from the beach. Minutes from food shopping and restaurants.The only thing that bothered me was that there were religious items in the kitchen and a picture saying hanging.

Beautiful home! So clean, gorgeous view, comfortable beds, and everything you could need for your visit. Beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels were provided. This was our 3rd visit to the area and we would absolutely stay again!

The carpets we filthy all the way up the stairs and into the bedrooms, master bedroom door would not latch, so, although it was locked, it wouldn't close tightly.The remote for the downstairs mini-split didn't work and we had to get someone to change the batteries, The remotes for the master and second bedroom were switched, so the TVs here wouldn't work and the second coffee maker stopped working. Not what I would expect for a thousand dollar a night condo! Displeased and overpriced in my mind.

We had such a lovely time visiting Maui and this home made it so much more comfortable. Communication was wonderful with the manager and we had plenty of space with our family. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was great to stay in. Lots of room for two couples and a child. Loved the ocean view from the deck. I would recommend a closer stay to the beach or even right on the beach as lugging all your stuff for the beach day down the hill is kind of a pain. But otherwise, without said child, this location is perfect. Can walk to the beach or there's beach parking right at the bottom of the hill. I will say that there were small ants throughout the apartment. I know this is common especially in the garden areas and with food around but they were even in the master bathroom, where food was not located. I suggest they put ant traps throughout the condo and that would help the problem! The pool is cold majority of the time. Not a great pool for toddlers as there isn't a walkable shallow end but older kids, no problem. There is a grumpy old man and woman that frequent this pool that give you dirty looks and will even say something to you if you are having too much fun (laughing too loud). This was a great place to stay all in all. The review is as it seems. The management company is also great if you have any problems to deal with during your stay. Mahalo!

Our family had a wonderful time! We loved the homey, warm vibe. It was the perfect home base for our family. Everything was so close! We could walk or drive. Very convenient. We will definitely stay again!

This property is stunning! It’s newly renovated, very clean, has en-suite’s in every room, and the view from the lanai is beautiful! We pretty much ate all of our meals out there and it was glorious. The property sits up on a hill so you can see the ocean well. While we were there we got to see so many humpback whales from the lanai! One note, we got in very late the night of arrival and it was very hard to see to find the right condo because it’s not lit up well, also the condo number was not on the door so we had to look around a bit to make sure we had the right unit. Not a deal breaker by any means, just more of a heads up :)

Property was not as nice as it appeared on online.Also, some of the functions of the property were not working. For instance the master bedroom blinds were broken and the bathroom sinks were not draining well.The kitchen note was fully stocked, and the location was good

Very clean and spacious with plenty of seating. Perfect size for our family of 5 (all adults). Plenty of linens and kitchen amenities provided, and there was even a tray full of goodies provided as a welcome gift. We loved that there were lots of games and books to keep us entertained, as well as beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler for our days at the beach. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time in Maui and this property was beautiful and true to the photos. Both lanai's had spectacular views of the ocean and we often watched the whales jump each morning while having breakfast. The house was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The beds were extremely comfortable. The only negative is that the 2 secondary bedroom air conditioning units are loud and run full time to keep the rooms cool. Would definately recommend this property.

Clean, AC worked great, beds comfortable, pool not great but close to the beach. Arrived really late and the master lamp had not shade and Was broken. Not ideal for first impression but management was great and I just moved another lamp into the room for the week. only glitch! would stay there again.

Enough space for both my kiddos to stretch out and an amazing view from both lanais. We had a minor issue with the oven the first night and they had maintenance come first thing the next morning to fix the issue. We can't wait to go back to the island.

Plenty of space for 5 Adults, property manager always answers calls and is helpful. Beach down the hill is great. Live music on the beach was nice at various hotels, close to Kaanapali restaurants and shops. Enjoyed the family time in the sun with many new memories.

We had a great stay at this unit. The layout was perfect for a little one. We spent every night on the lanai to watch the sunsets and everyday we were able to see whales during our morning coffee. The unit has been newly renovated, it’s bright, clean and was well stocked. We had 5 adults and a 1.5 year old so the room layout (king size beds with private bathrooms) worked really well for us. The pool on site was enjoyable, parking was never an issue and overall it was quiet, comfortable and had a “home away from home” feel. We would definitely rent this unit again. The management company was really great to work with. There was quick communication and they were always a pleasure to deal with.

We recently stayed at this beautiful two-bedroom condo in Kaanapali, Maui. The condo was in perfect condition and had a great ocean and golf course view. The managing company did a great job of orienting us to the area and making sure our stay was a wonderful experience. I am happy to recommend this VRBO to anyone interested without any reservation.

This condo is located on the west side of Maui, in the Kaanapali area, close to great beaches. It is spacious and well outfitted for your own food prep and space. The only missing item was oven mitts! - getting the Thanksgiving turkey roaster out of the oven resulted in a bad burn. We contacted the rental management company well before needing them, but none were brought!!! The view of the ocean from the lanai & master bedroom is amazing. Wonderful way to start the day with a cup of coffee. The unit floor was filthy when we arrived, so we called the agency and they sent the cleaner to redo it - much appreciated but an inconvenience. The oven was also found not cleaned - the oven cleaner had not been wiped off so when using it for the first time, a strong chemical smell was evident. We had to turn it off, let the oven cool, clean it and then start cooking a couple hours late. Another inconvenience. The management company sent a cleaner the next day to clean the oven: did not inform us anyone was coming in!!!! We found the oven racks were changed around when we got back. We did not appreciate someone coming into our suite without warning. These issues are not owner related - it’s a lovely place and is nicely furnished. The boogie boards and beach chairs need replacing though - well past their best before date.And Lastly, the unit is located on the ground level with another Condo above. You hear every step the people above take! It’s an older building and not sound proof.

Loved the condo super central and gorgeous view. Lovely renovated unit. There was a roofing crew the whole time we were there, so that wasn’t ideal as it was constantly noisy every day. Would certainly not have paid the amount I did if I had known.

I'm not sure I can even do justice to this review! This property met and exceeded our expectations! The website if quite accurate. Yes, the view is THAT GOOD! Great location--so close to "airport beach" and "black rock". Loved walking on the boardwalk. We enjoyed the pool--ran out of time for shuffleboard. The welcome treats were so thoughtful--and appreciated! Amazingly clean! Very comfortable. A great layout for our family. The lanai/porch may have been our favorite part--so peaceful. Beautiful views of Lanai and the Pacific Ocean. If we ever go back to Maui, there's no question that I'd want to stay here again! I can't think of enough good things to stay. We went for the Maui Invitational basketball tournament. This property is an excellent location for that! Only a five minute drive to the Lahaina civic center. I can't think of a single thing negative to say. Beautiful place!

This is a very nice, well appointed property. It is in a quiet neighborhood, off the main drag. It has been upgraded, so everything is in excellent condition. Michael and Sarah were great to deal with when we had a health issue that put our trip in jeopardy. We were able to work things out so that the trip was successful.

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: Our 7 night stay was great. The Condos location was perfect for us. We don't like staying in the resorts because we fill trapped inside by the long hallways and elevators to get outside. We only had to walk out the front door to access the beautiful grounds of Kaanapali Plantation condos. The view out our windows and relaxing on either balcony were so peaceful and serene. We walked down to the boardwalk daily, the walk back up the hill was a bit of a workout but not to much for someone in decent condition. The interior of the condo was beautifully updated and had everything we needed. I love to be greeted by enough coffee for the first morning in case of late arrival. The kitchen was well stocked. I also love when I have access to minimal cleaning supplies, broom, trash bags, even without kids I'm bound to need to sweep something up. We will stay here on our next visit for sure

Had an amazing trip. Loved the condo. Great for couples. We had 3 sets (6 people) couples. Each couple having their own bathroom was a plus.. The view from balcony was our favorite. Morning coffee with the sunrise and sunset were beautiful way to start and finish the day. Will definitely be planning another trip and request this condo.. Thank you

The view is absolutely stunning from the balcony The accommodations are just okay Living room furniture could be better definitely old and worn and not very comfortable The location was convenient but the condo offered no amenities to speak of but was very quiet

The photos on the site were a good representation of the unit. The view was outstanding. And great location to the beach. Thanks for the chocolate macadamia nuts. The property manger Herb, was very responsive when we had issues. The kitchen and bathrooms were not very clean. We had to clean them ourselves The AC in the living room did not cool the room to a comfortable temperature. But the bedroom AC kept the rooms comfortable, if we kept the doors closed.

Stayed for a week in Sept '24. Condo was clean and spacious, we were able to have 6 stay comfortably with one of the kids sleeping on the couch. The kitchen and appliances were great and made breakfasts/ lunches easy. The location is quiet in the evenings, but also just a 10 min walk from the condo to Kaanapalli beach. Great place to stay!

My family and I loved our stay at this beautiful house. The location is ideal, and the view is stunning. The home had everything we needed for an extended stay, making it feel like a true home away from home. An added bonus was the beach amenities provided, which made our beach trips even more enjoyable and convenient.

EXCEPTIONAL is the word that comes to mind. Over the years we have stayed in many different condos and this one is head and shoulders above the others. The location is perfect; not in the middle of the hustle and bustle, but just 3 minutes from everything, including the beach. We appreciated that the condo was peaceful and quiet. It is beautifully decorated and we loved the "Aloha" sign and made sure to get pictures sitting underneath. What really stood out to me was the fact that the owners have invested in QUALITY furnishings throughout the condo and have truly thought of every single thing we could have needed. We did not have to simply make do with a small number of pots and pans, or with kitchen items that were of poor quality. They also included 4 very nice beach chairs, pool noodles, and a large rolling cooler that we could take with us to the beach. The owners clearly take pride in providing everything and anything to make the renter’s stay exceptional. Lastly, I have to mention the property management company! I have to say that they were wonderful! They responded quickly each time and were very helpful in doing whatever they could to assist us. We felt so well taken care of in every regard. This made our vacation worry and stress free, which is exactly what we all want when we travel. Mahalo to the owners and the property management company! We hope to return and stay here again.

This property was exceptional - CLEAN, quiet, spacious, beautiful views, easy parking, a short drive down the hill to the beach, and central to everything West Maui has to offer. The space was perfect for my husband and I and our two teenage daughters, and we appreciated all of the thoughtful extras such as beach chairs and the guidebook prepared by the owners describing local dining, beaches, etc. (I still get the Snorkel Report delivered to my email daily!) Thank you for sharing this lovely property!

We were absolutely delighted with this condo for our family reunion of 8. The unit was adorable, as pictured or better. The decor is really trendy and fresh but it's not junk IKEA furniture - it's nice! I love the thoughtful touches (plenty of beach chairs & towels, a cooler, TVs in every room, luggage racks). Please ad an umbrella because we had to rent them. :) The kitchen was well-stocked and the beds were comfy. AC worked great. The unit is airy and very clean. We had plenty of soap, dish soap, trash bags, towels. The BEST thing about this unit was the location - we were 2-10 min by car from more beaches than we could ever try (just 4 min to Kaanapali), good food, shops. I didn't understand from the listing that the beach is nowhere on property (you can see ocean in the far distance but you have to cross highway 30). That was ok - we were able to park mere yards from the unit and we just drove everywhere within minutes. There is SO much to see-do-taste in this part of West Maui. Couldn't have asked for a better homebase. The rental company was fabulous, communicating with us by text and continually checking in. The only maintenance issue was a really squeaky dryer - I'm sure they'll have it fixed soon. I never even saw the pool because we were so busy but my husband dropped the paperwork off at the main office and said the caretaker was super-friendly. I literally have nothing but great to say. We all loved this condo and absolutely hope to return! Mahalo!

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.
