Recent Kaanapali Plantation Reviews


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!

Can’t beat the ocean views! Saw the turtles swimming from the balcony. Condo updated and pics very accurate. Appreciated the beach chairs. Would definitely come again.

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.

The condo is located in a great spot. The view of the golf course and ocean are superb. The lanai is large and a great place to chill and watch the whales or sunsets. The unit has lots of space for 6 adults. Your close to all the hot spots on the west side of Maui.

Loved the location! Just a short walk to the beach and all the restaurants. Absolutely beautiful view! The condo was perfect for 3 couples. Watched beautiful sunsets! Perfect for whale watching. Hiked the Coastal Trail, just a short distance, loved it. Everything about our stay in Maui was perfect.

March 2024

We had a delightful time in this beautiful, well appointed condo. We could sit on the lanai watching the humpback whales jumping and breaching. The condo is very, very nice, our only problem was lack of wine glasses. We had friends over for a drink and because there were only 5 wineglasses my husband had to drink out of a plastic glass. The large bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and private ensuite bathroom were perfect.

The propery was updated nicely and had every thing we needed. It was clean and comforable. The weather wasn't good half of the time we were there, so it was nice to beable to play games at the table and look the windows to the ocean.

We were very impressed with our accommodations. My husband and I brought both sets of parents, and each couple had a king bed and an ensuite. The decor was modern, the furniture comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked. The view was incredible and we spent many hours watching the whales. Even binoculars were included. The location was great, only a few minutes drive from shopping and beaches. It took about 10 minutes to walk down to the beach. Parking at the property was easy. We enjoyed the pool, which was not heavily utilized while we were there. We couldn't have asked for more and look forward to visiting again in the future.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our condo was situated in the heart of Kaanapali close to beaches, shops and food. Beautiful view of the ocean from our lanai and whale sightings galore. Condo was clean and well stocked with amenities. It was spacious and well suited for our group of six. Only suggestion would be better signage and outdoor lighting at front entrance as we arrived late at night and a bit difficult finding our condo #1. Overall we enjoyed our accommodations and would recommend this property.

I was worried about this location as it is on the hillside rather than beach front, where we usually stay. We mostly need a car to get to the beaches when in Maui anyway, so driving from this condo to any beach was a breeze. It was only a block away from Airport Beach. The views from our lanai were beautiful! We loved the sunsets and saw whales breeching nearly every day. The serene golf course in our backyard was so peaceful too. The condo itself was very comfortable and well appointed. We did alot of cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of seating for all of us to enjoy evenings in. We felt this was a really good value.

After two resort cancellations, 1 being just a couple weeks from our ETA, we were panicking trying to nail down a place to stay. We came across this great condo & couldn’t have been happier with our find. This modern condo suited our 7 person family perfectly. We had plenty of room and had everything we needed. Kaanapali Beach is a quick jog up the road, grocery stores and shopping is within a few minute drive. Communication was very helpful and always had a quick response. We would choose this condo without hesitation for our future Maui vacations—hopefully won’t be too long before we make our way back to paradise! Mahalo!!!

Our family of 5 enjoyed a last-minute getaway to Maui. The host was quick to respond and accommodated our needs. Interior of property was very nice. Nice bedrooms and baths and great kitchen. The property did not include a grill or hot tub as indicated on the listing so if you want those as part of your holiday, they are not available. The property was an easy walk down to the beach and the host provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels. It's a good location in West Maui. Wishing the best for the residents of Lahaina ~ Mahalo!

My family stayed at this property Dec 1 - 10, 2023. The accommodations were perfect for us - 6 adults and 1 infant. We really appreciated having beach chairs, beach umbrellas and coolers available to use. Also used the provided binoculars daily - saw whales and spinner dolphins!
