We love this resort and have been here often. This condo was well appointed and had most of what we needed. It was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The management team was communicative. And we have no complaints there.The view from this condo is not as pictured. The tree is smack dab in the middle, so you can’t really see the ocean. The other thing is that in the evenings and afternoons if there are a lot of children in the pool, you are going to hear them loud and clear. I forgot about that when we rented this unit that it would be right over the pool, the most of the children use. But that was on me not on the management team. I would recommend this condo. It was good for the price it was comfortable. It was clean and we really enjoyed our stay.

So many things we loved about this condo! Our Maui Home sweet home. Clean, comfortable with the best views.
The location, gorgeous property, friendly staff, food trucks and grocery store within walking distance. Cute locals' gift shops also across the street, a must to support the Lahaina locals! Don't forget to listen to the whales singing! Absolutely magical family vacation.

Condo was absolutely perfect! Beautiful ocean view. Loved sitting on the deck watching all the whale activity.We will definitely book this condo again. We arrived and the only issue was the 2 twin beds weren’t converted to a king bed. We called and the next day someone came to convert it. We also were able to check in early and for a small fee were able to check out late as our flight wasn’t until late evening.

We were very pleased with our stay. The condo was very nice, very clean, we loved how close we were to the ocean, the pool, restaurant and hot tub. The boardwalk was a very short walk from the grounds. Dukes restaurant was a short walk on the boardwalk, sit outside for a meal and watch for whales. I would definitely stay in this unit again. Simone was very responsive.

My wife and I stayed here for a few nights before realizing this place was infested with cockroaches. Since the windows and doorwalls don't fully seal, it's a nightmare. We ended up leaving partway through our stay and the property manager insisted this was a new problem despite several prior reviews mentioning these issues.
Do yourself a favor and don't book this place. We overlooked the reviews and (literally) paid the price for it.

We have been coming to Maui for over a decade and always stayed at our Hyatt timeshare. We decided to take a last minute trip to Maui and we chose to stay at a private condo at Kaanapali Shores. Overall, the building is very conveniently located close to many local shopping in west Maui. The building has quite a number of stores with lots of activities. The single bedroom unit has a great setting with partial oceanview. The inside was very clean and has everything we needed for our short term stay. All in all, with a cost a fraction of Hyatt, has nothing less than Hyatt and strongly recommend this location.

We enjoyed this stay. So nice to have a bedroom and living area with a well stocked kitchen. The resort is fantastic and everyone was so kind! The view from our unit was great — overlooking the garden pool. We appreciated the chairs and beach bag, etc. it would have been great to have the actual beach chairs — reclining with back pack. We had a great stay. We loved it here in West Maui. Aloha!

#213 was a perfect location in the resort, close to stairs/elevators and the pools! It is beautifully remodeled and perfect for our family of 5! The hosts were very responsive to all communication. Only "annoying" thing were the tiny ghost ants...don't leave any sweet crumbs on the counter:)

As always we have a great time in Maui, we’ve stayed in this same unit for many, many years. We like it so much we have already reserved it for 2025. The owner, Threse always make us feel like we are one of the family. Unit is always kept very clean with updated appliances and furnishings. Looking forward to next year.

This room was perfect. We had an amazing view of the ocean, room was clean and had access to cooking pans and utensils to cook breakfast. We visited friends room at same hotel and for the price we paid, we were not disappointed to have booked this room! Only thing is maybe switching the umbrella as it was broken when we tried to use it at the beach. other than that we recommend it and loved staying here!

My family and I have stayed at the Kaanapali Shores many times over the years. This was by far the nicest condo unit in the complex we have stayed in. The 01 series of units have a beautiful view of the resort and ocean. The lanai is also 3 times the size of all the other units in the resort which was great for my family of 5. We spent many nights watching the sunset from the lanai.
Maui Life Reality was great with their communication to us. Provided us a door code days in advance of our reservation and even allowed me to purchase a late checkout of 4pm the day we were leaving. When you have an 8pm redeye flight home that is a nice bonus to be able to check out late afternoon for only 25% of the daily fee.
Kaanapali Shores is also great to stay at becasue it is never over crowded like other resorts. This is becasue only some of the rooms are rented out as VRBOs or hotel rooms. The rest are privately owned with seasonal occupancy by the residents.
Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!!!!

We loved this condo! It was clean, looked brand new, was fully stocked and felt like home. We spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the whales while having our morning coffee. It’s in a great location with great beach and pool access. Will definitely be back! Highly recommended this condo.

We had an amazing time. The condo was clean and well stocked. The views from the room were gorgeous. We were close to both the beach and the pool. Everything we needed for the beach was already there which really saved us on rental costs. If I go back to Maui, I will be staying here again.

Aloha! WOW! What can I say... this place has it ALL!
Starting with the views out of the wrap around balcony, to the well-stocked kitchen and super comfortable beds, this was one of the best condos we've ever had the pleasure of visiting.
My wife and I and two teenagers were very comfortable in this unit. We had stayed at AKS before and really liked the property, but this place puts it at the top of the list for Maui. We spent a lot of time on the lanai watching whales, turtles, and seals every day. We snorkeled right off the beach just south of the condo and swam with turtles, as well as a huge variety of fish, eels, and even saw an octopus. The supplied beach towels and beach cart were an amazing touch. We took the beach cart everywhere, and it was a life saver.
The facilities here are also excellent, with a great little restaurant and poolside bar that has a killer happy hour every day.
If you're on the fence about this place, just book it! We only had four short days there, but we were already planning our return trip on the way to the airport. Just an unforgettable experience, highlighted by a condo that has EVERYTHING!!!
Aloha until next time!

We had a wonderful stay, the condo was comfortable and spacious. Everything was very clean and user friendly. The grounds were well kept and the pool provided plenty of relaxation with wonderful views of the whales and spectacular sunsets that West Maui is known for. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Mahalo!!!!

The place was lovely. A few things others may want to know about the property. At high tide the ocean is up to the sea wall, so no beach. At low tide it is very rocky so not good for swimming. Also you cannot view sunrise from the room, have to go out by the pool. We still enjoyed the place but we did have to go elsewhere to swim or sit on beach. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Got to see whales right from our room view.

We had a great stay in Maui. I needed something very specific for my family during our stay in Maui. Specifically, I needed twin beds in the second bedroom for my kids. I also wanted a great view of the ocean, a clean and modern space, and some amenities like a pool, restaurant and gym. This place delivered on all of those things. The best part was the whale watching from the lanai! We would see many whales throughout the day from our room. It was magical! I would happily stay there again.As it relates to the property, I liked that it never felt too crowded. (Other resorts that we visited seemed like people were scrambling for pool chairs.) The property was fairly quiet and offered just enough. It was also well maintained. They have a really cute shop on site called Swell, but it was only open for a couple hours on one day the entire week we were there. I wish it was open daily because I definitely would’ve bought souvenirs from there. There’s also an on-site “convenience” store, but it closes at 5 PM so didn’t offer much convenience. That said, there is a grocery store within a short walk across the street, so you can get everything you need there. I just didn’t feel comfortable walking over there by myself at night. There were also plenty of restaurants and things to do within walking distance to the property, including one onsite restaurant. Overall, it was a great stay and the vacation rental met our needs perfectly. We would definitely stay there again.

The condo that we stayed in had a beautiful view of the ocean. However, we were disappointed with the actual condo for the following reasons: 1) We love to cook and grill when in Hawaii, however, the kitchen was lacking in all areas. We had to ask the manager for plates and bowls. There were only 4 plates when we arrived. 2) We love to grill when we're in Hawaii. We were told that the grill was by the pool. Unfortunately, the grill is located by the tennis courts which was a long walk from our condo. Luckily, our friends had a wagon to pull all of the food over to the bbq, otherwise, it could have been a disaster since it was raining. 3) We were told that the 2 beds in the 2nd bedroom could be made into a king. When we arrived, we found out that the beds were actually full size and could not be made into a king. 4) The condo is really far from parking. When we arrived, we had to carry $600 of our Costco food purchase a long haul from the car. Luckily, our friends next to our condo lent us the wagon that was in their condo and we were able to use that to reduce our walking back and forth. 5) There was zero cleaning supplies in the condo. We had a crawling baby with us and our stay was 9 days long. After a few days in the condo, I wanted to vacuum and clean the glass table tops. There were no cleaning supplies anywhere. I ended up borrowing some cleaning supplies from the condo next to ours.
To finalize, the view and balcony was great!

Condo is fresh and clean and newly updated. The lanai was the perfect little spot to relax and take in the scenery. We were so fortunate to be there during whale season and could see them from the balcony. Magic! The pools were lovely and especially enjoyed the birds nesting in to the trees at sunset. The building itself could use improvements especially the restaurant! Just bypass the restaurant on property. That is the only thing along with updating on the building that keeps me from giving 5 stars across the board. The restaurant/bar and especially its restrooms are just filthy. Plenty of other places nearby! The location was ideal. Highly recommend.

The house has a modern beach vibe! We really loved the extra touches! We felt very appreciated and enjoyed all of it! The Murphy bed was PERFECT as if folded up every morning!
We LOVED the coffee, and Ice that was already there when we arrived as well as cooking spices!
Our favorite was coffee on the patio watching the whales breach every day and being able to just walk out to the pool and beach!
You won't be disappointed with this place it was a dream!!! Thank you!!

Our beachfront condo was all anyone could ask for a perfect trip to Kaanapali, Maui. Plenty of room for the four of us and the most incredible lanai. Saw lots of whales and turtles. We were mesmerized by the crashing of the waves. The condo was pristine and had everything we needed.

We had great communication from the owners prior to arrival the facility was beautiful the king bed was extremely comfortable with great pillows. We should had a second room for our kids, but the pillow was more comfortable than usual. It was greatly appreciated that they left us body boards, chairs, and a cooler, the beach wasn’t great and it was very windy on our side, but it was amazing watching whales from our balcony every day! Walking distance to Dukes also was great!
