We would love to stay here again. We made use of all the kitchen amenities, beach chairs, and umbrella. So spacious and comfortable. The pool was great and the proximity to the beach is perfect. We love this place!

Beautiful view and very clean. Loved the lanai. The refrigerator was huge. Very complete kitchen. The pool was nice and loved having the Castaway Restaurant right on the premises. We will stay there again. The only thing that was hard was in the kitchen area it was dark even with the lights on, that could be my old eyes.

Love, love, love this resort and George and Cynthia's unit is one of the best we've stayed in there. Proximity to pool and beach is fantastic. The EXTRA FIRM bed is so comfortable that I'm ordering the same mattress for myself at home! I will definitely be looking to stay in this unit again.

Sorry for the late response! This is a wonderful condo with a fantastic modern kitchen, spectacular location on what we consider the nicest stretch of beach in Kaanapali/Kahekili. We've stayed at the hotel many times before in a number of different condos. This is one of the most luxurious and there's nothing like walking out from the patio directly onto the beach or seeing the sunset directly from the condo. Great immediate communication with condo owner to answer questions about booking. I can't praise highly enough the overall experience.

This property was perfect for our family of 4 (including 2 teens). It was spacious and the beds were very comfortable- even the pull-out was pretty good. The kitchen was large and so was the bathroom and separate bedroom. The property is also amazing- best beach in Maui and beautiful pool near the beach. Excellent vacation- highly recommend it.

Once again we loved staying at this unit. We always enjoy walking in the door and seeing all the personal touches the owner makes: from the welcome basket, fresh lei on the bed and chocolates on the pillows. The unit is spotless and location is great. We cannot wait until next year.

My husband and I have stayed at Maui Ka’anapali Villas many times before and this particular unit was our favorite! The view of the ocean and pool was spectacular! The kitchen was so modern and had everything we needed to cook our own meals. The separate one bedroom allowed my husband to stay up late and watch tv, while I slept soundly. We appreciated the superb communication with manager Gina. She answered all our questions within a matter of seconds. I highly recommend this unit!

My granddaughter and I really enjoyed our stay at MKV, the third vacation there for our family. The condo was the perfect size for the two of us, and very well equipped. The owner was very helpful, providing information on transportation etc. We love the MKV resort, beautiful well kept grounds and facilities and a lovely, uncrowded beach. Looking forward to another trip to MKV in the future. Mahalo

My husband and I loved celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary at this property. This beautiful beach unit looks right out to the sandy beach. We lounged on the beach or grassy area overlooking the water as we sipped our morning coffee. We would definitely return to this amazing location!

Yes the reviews are right that it is old but I don’t think it was unclean just some of the cracks that come with age. The property is absolutely stunning with the beach, the pool and cafe all steps away. It is a giant shared space essentially with a sliding divider between the bedroom and living room.

My family and I had an absolutely fantastic time! From start to finish, everything was just perfect. The location was ideal, offering breathtaking views! The rental itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Moreover, the communication with the host was seamless. They were responsive and accommodating, ensuring our stay was as enjoyable as possible. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway. We can't wait to return!

Sitting out on the lanai looking over the property, pool and ocean just gave me the feel that I was someplace VERY special and "old school". It is NOT a fussy resort, but rather a lush laid back comfort. Great people watching from this room. Nicely appointed with updated pots/pans, soft towels, subzero fridge/icemaker, adjustable bed. It was just a lovely stay. Owner was very easy to communicate with while on trip.

Our stay here was perfect. It was exactly what we were looking for while here for a wedding. Conveniently located one stoplight away from Whalers Village. The beach was a short 5 minute or less walk down the path. Great way to wake up to coffee on the lanai with birds chirping and a view of the beautiful flowers. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. We found chairs and umbrella in the closet for the beach. We slept well on the upstairs bed and our teens slept well on the Murphy beds downstairs. We would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I brought our 2 kids (4 and 1 yrs) for our 10th anniversary and had a wonderful time. We’ve been to Kaanapali multiple times, but this stretch of beach was by far my favorite. It was very uncrowded compared to the resorts area, but with the stunning beach, water, and views of Lanai and Molokai. And walking distance to puukekaa point. The property was really nice - highlight for us was the free trolley to whalers village. We did numerous dinners/luaus/boats all without packing up the car, The pool was not as nice as the big hotels, but it was nice enough and was never crowded - we always got some shade when desired. The unit itself was great for us. The kitchen was small but fully featured including dishwasher and garbage disposal. The unit was clean and put together well. The highlight of the room was the lanai. It’s not right on the water, but you have great views of Lanai and the ocean over a couple trees and buildings. Plus the lanai was shady until noon, and had full table and lounge seats for coffe, reading, breakfast or dinner. A few downsides were the small kitchen, the complex wasn’t very glitzy and felt a bit old, and the unit was a little close to the road. You can’t see the road which is nice, but hearing the traffic zoom by takes you out of the otherwise paradise. The hosts were very gracious, communicative, and accommodating, and it’s additionally helpful to have a 24 hour front desk. Overall was a great place, in an even better location

Great location and just a hop skip distance from the room to the pool, local cafe, and beachside. Condo was great, clean, comfortable, and lots of room. Kitchen worked out well for cooking for the family and convenient to order food and supplies. Really happy with the condo and stay at MKV!

Perfectly remodeled condo. The picture makes it look like you’re right on the beach but it’s just a couple hundred yard walk. Right by the smaller pool but still close to everything. Great location on the island to get east and west. Would absolutely recommend staying here.

Another amazing trip to Maui with everything we needed right at our fingertips. The condo worked out perfectly for us (love the water pressure in the shower!). Barbara was very responsive and helpful in providing information prior to and during our trip. Thank you! We love Maui and MKV and can’t wait to return back. Aloha!

The listing did not I've this place justice. It was very spacious and clean. The lanai was huge and overlooked the nice gardens of the property. The resort was on the best beach in the area, with lots of sand, not rocky at all. The pool area was beautiful and had a restaurant on site that served up deliciousness daily. Overall, would stay here again if in Kaanapali!

We absolutely loved staying here during our vacation to Maui. The hotel and property is gorgeous, and the extra space and kitchen in the condo was a huge bonus. Condo has everything you need, a great view, comfy beds, and lots of extras to make the stay so much more enjoyable. We had to drag ourselves away to come back home. Would come back in a heartbeat!

We enjoyed our experience at this lovely location and would consider staying again. During our visit the air conditioning was not working due to a fire but we did have fans which was helpful. The facility also does not have an elevator if that is necessary for someone

We loved the oceanfront ground floor location of this unit with easy access to lawn area overlooking the ocean/beach. A well stocked kitchen. We had a couple hiccups with an appliance or two but the owner was extremely responsive and worked to resolve our issues quickly. Access to in house laundry was convenient.

We've been to Maui several times, and this was our favorite trip - the condo was perfect with beautiful views, all the amenities needed, a gorgeous beach, and a shuttle to take you to the Whaler's Village. We appreciated having beach chairs (in the unit) and towels provided by the complex. It was a relaxing vacation to celebrate our anniversary!
