  We have stayed at this location before and love it more each time we are there. It has a true Hawaiian feel to it and the staff at the front desk give great customer service. The main tower that this unit is in is well maintained and the outdoor grounds are immaculately groomed. The pool area is one of the best. The beachfront offers some of the best coral for snorkeling. The beach walk goes through this property and takes you on a beachfront walk. Shopping is about 10 minutes away. There is a shuttle every 20 minutes that takes you to many other areas. The onsite restaurant has terrific breakfast and lunch. We find the atmosphere at this location to be very laid back and calm. Even during busy spring break we found the pool and beach area to be relaxing and not cramped with too many people as some of the resorts and beaches can be at that time of year. We enjoyed working with the owner of this unit. The condo was so clean and spacious. It is exactly as depicted in their photos. The view from the windows is so beautiful and the location of the unit allows for a delightful breeze to blow through from one side to the other. The unit was priced fairly for a unit that is still mostly original finishings. We appreciated the bamboo furniture and hawaiian decor. The brand new carpeting throughout was really nice on our bare feet. This condo was a comfortable home away from home for the two weeks that we were there. The only reason I didn't put 5 stars for this unit is that there is no dishwasher or walk in shower.

  I traveled to Maui for the first time in July with my 18 year-old son and 15 year-old daughter and in my son's words-"It was the trip of a lifetime!" The owner's condo was perfect and all she said it would be. The condo is well equipped, comfortable and "homey"- and then you have the advantage of all of the resort's amenities. This condo would be the one I would return to on my next trip to West Maui and I have already recommended it to my friends. The owner is a pleasure to work with! The beach front is as she says- just steps from the condo and there is a beach walk that is convenient for short walks to restaurants along the beach. My son had a wonderful experience golfing at the Kapalua Bay Course, and my daughter surfed, paddle-boarded and snorkled ! We highly recommend the Plantation Restaurant for its great food and phenomenal views. We can't wait to return someday!

  Great location, amazing beach (even better than I imagined!), great condo- not brand new, but clean and spacious. We had an amazing trip, great snorkeling, do the zipline! The owner was easy to work with, just a few emails and we were booked. The pool at the resort is brand new and the grounds are beautiful...VERY relaxing and mellow. We booked our zipline and a dinner cruise through the concierge, she was very nice and helpful. I got a massage at the spa--awesome! After browsing some of the other spa menus online, I am sure I got the best deal and the girl was really good! We talked with some people at the pool and they had paid way more than we did and they were in the tower too! The two front buildings on the beach rent for double or triple what we paid and we still got all the resort amenities! Highly reccommend Lahaina if you are an art lover---tons of galleries and in such a relaxed atmosphere, it was really cool. All in all, the condo was wonderful, Maui was amazing and we hope to be back very soon!! Aloha!!

  A wonderful value for being at such a nice resort right on the beach in Maui. Our friends rented through the front desk and paid double what we did; and their kitchen barely had anything in it. Our unit had more nice touches. The owner was so easy to deal with, a few emails and we were set. The new pool is very nice and of course the weather in Maui is always lovely. We went for drinks at the Ritz up in Kapalua and it was very nice. Also recommend going to the Plantation House for lunch or dinner, great view. Overall, we were very pleased and will book this unit again (in fact, I've already emailed her). :)

  We loved our stay in this unit! You cannot beat the value of this place. It has a partial ocean view, was very clean, and had most everything we needed. The beds are quite firm, i was very comfortable with the many pillows provided but my boyfriend had some trouble sleeping. The only problem we had was with the coffee maker. The pot was a different brand and didnt fit properly so i had to rig it by placing a butter knife underneath it to press up against the spring release. If you forget it's a mess!! But no big deal :) The grounds are beautifully maintained and the pools and lobby were very nice. The castaway cafe is very convenient, though we didnt think the food was all that great. They make an awesome bloody mary though! And the employees were wonderful and full of great advice. If we make it back to maui any time soon we would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you Heather!

  Owner response: We got a new coffee maker!!! :) ahhhh....I NEED my coffee in the am (I'm obsessed-I roast my own beans), so had I known it was broken, I would have fixed it STAT!! I'm sorry that you had to go to such measures for your cup of joe! ;) Please any future guests, let me know if there is anything broken/missing so I can fix! Thanks, glad you had a nice stay overall! :)

  The great thing about this unit, is that it is exactly as described. After viewing the website and information provided, you know exactly what you're going to get, and what you get is a great condo in what I think is the best location on Kaanapali beach. Great swimming off the beach, great reef snorkeling a short walk away, great pool, mellow atmosphere. The owner, Heather, was easy to communicate and deal with, and very professional. You can rent this condo with alot of confidence.

  This is me and my wife's 4th visit to MKV over the last 8 years. This time we took our 4 children and we all had such a great time! We stayed in this unit for 7 days. I loved the fact that this unit sleeps 6. Two queens in the humongous BR slept our 4 children and we slept on the pull out couch in the living area. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable, no issues at all with sleeping arrangements. It is sometimes difficult to find affordable accommodations for 6, so we were especially grateful for this unit's availability. The furnishings were all updated in tropical Hawaiian theme and were very nice. The BR and BA spaces were huge and I felt that the living area was perfect. Our family spent a few nights sitting together watching latenight movies in the large living area. The BA closet had a boogie board and ice chest. I thought this was a nice touch. There were also extra towels which came in handy. We cooked lots of our meals inside and the cookware and appliances were great and got a lot of use. I cook a lot at home and I was grateful that everything I needed was provided. As others have noted previously, there are small issues with a few minor things but not worth mentioning IMO. The one thing we did miss was wireless access to the internet although we were able to connect using the ethernet cable that was provided in the unit which was quite adequate. To be fair, I'm not completely sure if the unit was setup for wireless access, but a small informational card on the table indicated that if you preferred wireless access that you could use a code but we could not find the code or find the unit's SSID when we searched for it. We had 4 laptops and a couple ipods. Most of us were able to connect to unsecured surrounding units but a couple of us could not and had to use the ethernet cable that was provided in this unit. Adequate for our needs. The A/C worked really well. We didn't need to use the A/C until the last night. But when I turned it on, the kids commented on how quickly the temperature changed. It was an immediate noticeable change in room temp which was very refreshing. I also want to mention that the owners were very friendly and I enjoyed the booking experience. They even took credit cards which I was grateful for. Overall, we had a great vacation and we loved our stay at this unit!

  This is a very spacious unit and we enjoyed our stay tremendously. I felt the unit was clean, and it had new carpet. I really feel this is one of the best values around the Kaanapali area. I loved how much storage there was so we could really unpack and feel at home. Some minor issues arose, but a quick call to Heather took care of that. She leaves a stack of business cards--so call if anything comes up. Unfortunately, my husband and I did not find the beds comfortable. We must like them a little less firm. That could just be a matter of personal preference.

  We came to Maui to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. We had a wonderful time! We have 2 little girls (and 7 children in our group) so we stayed close to MKV- lots of time on the beach and at the pool. Breakfast at the cafe was awesome as were the drinks at the pool. We snorkeled, went whale watching, and shopped at Whalers Village. Overall a relaxing and fun week. Thank you for having us in your home!
