What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Kahana Sunset delivers a laid‑back, old‑Hawaii vibe on West Maui, set on a small cove between Napili and Kaanapali. Guests consistently praise its peaceful, uncrowded feel, beautifully kept tropical grounds (fruit trees, herb garden), warm pool plus kiddie pool, plentiful loungers, communal BBQs, and postcard sunsets. Many highlight daily turtle sightings right off the rocks and seasonal whale watching from the lawns and lanais. The location is convenient to Napili Market, coffee and casual restaurants, and a short drive to excellent beaches and snorkeling at Napili, Kapalua and Honolua.

Condos are spacious and well suited to families and multi‑gen groups, with two lanais, full kitchens, in‑unit laundry, and easy parking near the door. Many units are updated, very clean, and well stocked for cooking; some provide beach gear, coolers and games. Several have effective air conditioning (often in bedrooms and sometimes the living area), while others rely on ocean breezes and fans. Guests frequently note friendly, attentive grounds staff and generally smooth, communicative hosting and check‑in.

Set expectations: this is an older, low‑rise complex with unit‑to‑unit variability. Some condos feel dated or show wear, and occasional maintenance, cleanliness or pest hiccups do occur; responsiveness varies by manager. Most layouts are two‑story with bedrooms upstairs and often no bathroom on the main level, and there are many stairs around the property; parking can be tight. There’s no hot tub and the pool closes early. The biggest recurring caveat is the beach: it’s small and highly tide/season dependent—sometimes sandy and swimmable, other times narrow or rough, so plan on driving a few minutes to larger beaches if conditions aren’t ideal. When calm, snorkeling in the cove can be excellent with frequent turtle encounters.

Kahana Sunset never disappoints! Property manager responded quickly and communicated effectively. The location of this condo community couldn’t be better, the access to the pool and beach was perfect.

This was a third visit to the beautiful place. We enjoy the secluded complex away from all the hustle and bustle of the larger resorts. Lynn's unit is beautifully furnished with everything you would expect to find in your own home. Lynn provides an extensive list of local restaurants, shops and activities which makes planning easy. The oceanfront corner unit is quiet and private... no better place to watch turtle, whales and capture the fabulous sunsets.

Nice unit in great location. Everything was fine except for the musty, rank odor in the unit. We can’t recommend staying here unless the carpet in the bedroom is replaced with a tile or LVP. Management claimed they could not smell anything. We did not want to waste any more of our limited time on Maui so we stayed put and made the most of it. The management company was very responsive otherwise and addressed other issues very quickly.

We came in for a family wedding. When we arrived 4 hrs after check in - we were happy to walk into a cozy place for the next 4 nights. Host was very attentive in communicating quickly and efficiently. AC was a godsend! Everything you need for the pool is available for use. Kitchen was equipped with everything you need.

We had a very nice stay at the Kahana Sunset. Nice location next to beautiful Napili Bay and we loved being so close to the shops and resorts at Kaanapali. Our host was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to ensure we had a nice vacation. Highly recommend.

It was very nice place. It lacked a lot of extras. Noticing for the beach. We bought chairs and left them at the property. Kitchen was not well stocked with every day items. No laundry basket. The front desk was able to provide one for us. Need new screens on the guest bedroom and front door. Was repaired same day. The window in the guest bedroom did not close all the way. Geckos 🦎 kept coming in the room. Main bedroom shower door never did close all the way. Was off the track. We will be back but will not rent that condo again. Thank you

Well maintained with everything that you needed for your stay! We enjoyed our time and would stay again without question. When we arrived the door was left open which was odd but not an issue by any means. Thank you for your hospitality, we will be back!

The view of the ocean was so smazing. We could see turtles swimming and surfacing for air. Every evening we enjoyed watching the sunset with the island as a backdrop. The rainbows were also lovely. Last year when we stayed her we saw a moonbow-magical.

October 2025

Enjoyed the location and ease of the location of the condo. The check-in was seamless. The condo had a small beach front which we enjoyed. The only draw back was it is the second line of condos so you are not directly on the beach front. But would highly recommend this place.

We arrived with our two 10 year old grandchildren. They were very happy to run to the deck to spot their first turtle, one of many sightings. Beautiful sunsets looking out to Molokai . We did some snorkeling in the bay Until the big waves arrived. Then they turned to the pool and were very happy. The grounds keepers surprised them by cutting down some bananas and papayas for them. All in all a comfortable and happy experience.

Lynn's place is INCREDIBLE! We thought we had died and gone to heaven during the week we stayed there. We loved watching the sunsets every night from the unit/lanai. Lynn was so great to deal with, she answered all questions before our arrival and even ordered a brand new umbrella for us to use during our stay. There was a backup person available if she was hard to reach. We felt so well taken care of! The location of her unit is the best I've ever seen, and it has a sandy (swimmable) beach, pool, and BBQ facilities. There are lounge chairs all around the pool and grass that are positioned under palm trees that face the ocean. It's SO dreamy! We were there the week of Aug. 9-17 and the place was virtually empty! I'm not sure if that was due to school back in session or if it's just a hidden gem. There was a bit of a swell the first few days of our stay and the waves pounded the beach but we loved the sound. There were people staying in the unit next to us that have been coming to this place for years and they told us that turtles come up to the reef below our deck in the afternoon and feed on the reef. Due to the big swell, we didn't see turtles doing this but hope to come back someday and experience that. We were able to go to other (more sheltered) coves and snorkel on the swell days. The swell calmed down after 2 days and we swam at our beach! We all enjoyed the pool on the property too - it's simple but functional. We'll definitely be back!

Location is amazing. Close to beautiful beaches. The unit is well equipped with everything you may need. Very comfortable for a family of 4. We loved the common areas, kids loved the pool and they have the cleanest bbq grill I’ve ever seen. Beautiful sunsets and if you’re lucky you may spot some turtles on the beach. Communication with host was great.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Hula Hideaway! We loved the location, as it was very close to all of our favorite Maui beaches. The grounds were beautiful and the sunsets breathtaking. We saw dolphins and rainbows right from our balcony. The kids enjoyed the pool for many hours. Our family of 5 was very comfortable. We had everything we needed staying at this unit and look forward to returning someday!

Perfect location for accessing multiple snorkeling beaches on the northwest corner of Maui. Property managers were responsive and communicated often. Property grounds are well cared for and very pretty. Switches are labeled. Kitchen appliances were appreciated. A few items in the fridge, ice in the freezer, and AC was on before we arrived made us feel welcome.

We had a big party of 6 and this condo met all of our needs. We love the view, the beach. The morning showers and mountain views while the sun shined the rest of the day. Condo was clean and well kept. If we had one complaint it would be the king bed in the master it has a dip on one side nearest to the closet that yoy sink in and it was cery uncomfortable to sleep on. So we would recommend a new mattress. But everything else was wonderful!

The views are spectacular and the property is really lovely. The kitchen could use a little love (esp it really needs a new dishwasher) but the bedrooms are wonderful, comfortable beds and washing machine. The owner is very accommodating. All in all a wonderful place.

Outstanding location and amenities. If we are lucky enough to make it back to Maui, we hope to stay here again next time. Perfect spot for a weeklong stay for a family of 4. I highly recommend this property for those looking to stay near Napili / Lahaina.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Kahana Sunset is the absolute best complex on West Maui. You end up paying for excursions and wishing you’d kept your money because everything extra you paid for is already at the condo. Great snorkeling? Check. Sea turtles every day? Yup. Magical sunsets each evening? You know it. The only issue we’ve had with our specific unit was the downstairs AC. Management requested a repair man for the next day but he never came. To be fair though, everyone was evacuated the day before for a tsunami so I’m not holding that against them.

This is our 4th stay in this condo complex. We love the location, the small beach and access to the pool. The beach has eroded quite a bit since our first stay but was sufficient. The condo was comfortable. Although the decor was not necessarily our taste, the condo provided everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.

Home away from home, I love the facilities here and the small private beach. Amazing views from the lanai’s.

August 2025

Nice location, pretty water right at the condo, with 2 resident turtles. Decent snorkle at the back, but close bays with amazing snorkeling. This property is very clean, grills are really nice, staff is kind, pool is great. Beautiful sunset over Molokai. Love the water descpencer by the pool, able to fill water pitchers and bottles for the condo and day trips, saves on having to buy more plastic when ur in a place like Maui. The condo has all essential stuff, plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, a cooler. The views from the lanai are ok, but the property has a great area with tables and chairs for the guests to enjoy. We had a slight issue with the fridge, but Donna got it taken care of immediately. Great communication, everything was clear. Management company was great too. Definitely a recommend, would stay here again.

Beautiful place. Loved the porch area with ocean view and the proximity to the beach. We got to see manarays in the beach first day we were there. Sunset was amazing too! Second day we got tsunami warning but property is 20m above water so after 7:30pm we returned to property from higher grounds. Checkin was simple; checkout too.

Liz is a dream! She is so kind and made our trip & stay seamless. The property was incredible, so clean, very nice and the views from our lanais were stunning! Loved the location, loved the beach, loved the property and all the amenities. Would highly recommend this Vrbo to anyone! Will be keeping it on our list for our next visit to Maui!

A condo as well as location. All the amenities you could ask for in a condo. Up to date appliances as well as AC in every room. Deal breaker with some humid nights. Plenty of sand toys and chairs to use at various beaches. Close walk to Napili and Kapalua as well as Napili market. Would stay here every time if dates match up with availability. Do not hesitate to reach out to Jenn. She will answer any questions in a very timely matter. Very thorough and easy to follow instructions prior to arrival. Hope to stay in E9 next summer . ALOHA

We so enjoyed our stay! The unit was perfect - my ritual of morning coffee and listening to quiet Hawaiian music while watching the palm trees, ocean view and birds is so missed! Can’t wait for our next visit!

The condo was clean and had a nice view of the ocean.The 2 lanais we’re an added bonus, along with the 2 suites. The beds were also comfortable. It was steps away from the ocean and had good snorkeling, but the beach area was small.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: KS is great unit is horrible. No AC, ceiling leaks fixed by someone who has no idea how to fix and paint, unit appears to have never been upgraded, wall paper peeling, drapes in living area will not provide privacy, kitchen faucet leaks, fans in kitchen above sink and in toilet area strange looking, yellow growth. Bottomline don't rent this unit or drop price to rock bottom, friends came over and rented D3D for much less and unit is newly redone and beautiful. Sorry for the comments but we were less than happy with this unit and i would guess never updated. Go look at it and at D3D worlds apart. But thanks for quick response and replacement of dish washer. Clarify below property was great, this unit is horrible. Regan

This was just a lovely place to stay. Great view, especially from upstairs. Very chill spot. Even saw a turtle swimming before we left. Highly recommend.

July 2025

This unit and property was beautiful and worked perfectly for our family! We loved the private beach access and the beautiful sunsets every night. The full kitchen was great for being able to eat at home or to heat up our leftovers. We also appreciated having laundry in the unit. The unit also had beach chairs, a cooler, some snorkel gear, and kid sand toys! The unit has parking right outside the door, which is a huge plus especially with kids. The unit was clean and very welcoming. The upper and lower lanais added so much light and the ocean views could not be beat! A downside to the unit was the noise. Because of the windows and construction of the building, you can hear everything going on outside and from the neighbors. When loud cars drove by, neighbors closed their doors, people were talking, or even snoring, we heard it all. Just something to keep in mind! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again if we came back to Maui!

The private beach was a big advantage and they really take a nice care of the property outside. We were very comfortable, it’s a two story home and great for 5-6 people.

Our room E10 was wonderful The view was awesome. Plus approximity to the pool and the beach were amazing. It let our younger kids go down and play and be close to where we could check on them or be with them. We enjoy the pool we enjoyed the beach we enjoyed the spectacular grounds and the friendly groundskeepers. We had an amazing wonderful time. The Only drawback was that we weren't able to stay forever. Lol Mahalo for a wonderful stay.

We love the kahana sunset and had a blast however this unit is missing a few amenities in the kitchen. I had to buy a spatula and use a makeshift measure cup. The dishwasher smells pretty bad. Maybe this is tmi but there wasn't a plunger in the unit either Iits a great place to stay and amazing location, just needs a few updates.
