Beautiful, lovingly maintained home in a fabulous location

We (extended family of 6 with a blind teenager) stayed here for a week in August and could not have wished for a better place. The home is spacious and well-maintained and wonderfully decorated. We ate all our meals on the lanai and spent many evenings there. There are a lot of details that usually are not in a rental house (speakers outdoors and in all the rooms, top-notch indoor and outdoor kitchens) that contributed to a very enjoyable stay. Having a small pool and deck for ourselves was much nicer than sharing at one of the big hotels. Kaanapali Beach, a beautiful sandy beach is just a 10 min walk, and Black Rock at the end of this beach had some of the best snorkeling we have ever experienced. There are also a number of less crowded beaches with nice shade trees within a 10 min drive. The location is very convenient for short trips around the island (having a car is helpful for this). The house backs onto the golf course and the Sugar Cane Train passes by on the golf course a few times each day, which delighted the train enthusiasts among us. Angelia, the owner was very helpful and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again. Our favorite restaurants were Sansei Sushi restaurant, north in Kapalua and Hula Grill in the Whalers village shopping center at Kaanapali beach (both on the pricy side but well worth it). We also were very glad to have our Safeway card along, as it saved us at least $10 on each grocery trip.

Maui Dream Home

This house exceeded all expectations! Angelia has done an amazing job thinking of every possible amenity someone would need on vacation. We had a family of 8 adults and 1 baby and had plenty of room. We spent most of our time out on the lanai. Breathtaking views can been seen from both ends of the home! The kitchen is amazing and we enjoyed the pool/outdoor grill. Perfect location! We would definitely stay here again. As another renter mentioned, the pictures do not do the house justice. You must see it in person. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic Kaanapali Dream Home for family of ten (two infants)

This property exceeded our expectations, and the photos do not do it justice. Our family getaway for our children, their spouses and their children was unbelievable. The property was perfect for our needs. We were able to rent cribs and bed rails for the little ones, and once they were all asleep, we were able to grill fantastic meals and enjoy the lovely patio for our dinner and games. The outdoor shower was used quite a bit to get the sand off the little ones as well, and the property was so well equipped with sand toys, chairs, boogie boards, pool floats and a large cooler. The location was perfect within walking distance to the beach and Whaler's Village. We would return here in a heartbeat.

Awesome Home

We stayed a week here, loved it. Everything was top-shelf. Large, spacious. Great kitchen. Nice sound system for the iPod. If we watched TV, the set was large, HD and great. Watched the Hawaii HD channel 1000 with its beautiful Hawaiian scenes. Minor annoyance- they should list all channels available - and I never found ESPN - but that's a local cable provider issue. Back deck overlooking the fairway offered a nice view of the West Maui volcano (not Haleakela). Front patio was fantastic, very private, and watched the sunsets from there a few times. Two car garage kept the rental car from getting hot in the sun. Lots of beach equipment. We walked to the beach and Whaler Village for dinner, Black Rock for the sunset ritual. It's a healthy walk but non-walkers can drive the brief trip and park in hotel garages if you need to. Convenient to Lahaina and Kapalua.

We were very pleased with this home. The outdoor shower off of the master suite was one of many highlights. Many enjoyable hours were spent drinking blended tropical drinks on the lanai and swimming in the pool with our young kids. Beautifully decorated and landscaped. Sunken master suite was luxurious. If you like to cook you have the choice of the wonderful kitchen or the outstanding outdoor grill. The owner was also very nice and helpful. More than enough beach equipment for our crew of 6. The house is large (larger than the pictures suggest) and would easily accomodate 8. I agree with other comments that the place is very well stocked with items a renter might need. Very convenient location. we would absolutely stay here again.

Our family of seven (wife, daughter, husband and three children) stayed here for a week in February. As other reviews have said, it REALLY is better than the pictures. We even saw rainbows several evenings over the back of the property. When we arrived we were greeted by Angelia and her husband. They gave us a complete walk through explaining all the electric switches (there's a button for everything!). The kitchen is very well supplied with every spice you can imagine. If you're cooking you can have any rub/ sauce you want without shopping. We had five quests over for a big BBQ one evening and the pool/patio area is wonderful for entertaining. The grill is extremely good quality and perfectly maintained. When Angela noticed that we had three children and her supply of boogie boards was only two, what happen?, We returned the next day from the beach and she had purchased two more for the house. Need chairs for the beach? They are there. Masks? they have them. If you rent another home in the area, you'd better factor in the cost of everything they include. All in all, a great home in a great location. Short drive to Lahaina, even shorter to Whalers Village and the beach. When we rented, our expectations were high and this property did not disappoint in any way. If you rent this property, you will be very happy with your overall experience.

What a wonderful 8 days we had in a truly magnificent house. Everything imaginable was there for our use and if it wasn't it was delivered ASAP. The layout, the furnishings, the location we all perfect. We would go there again in a minute.

What a perfect vacation home!! We knew the house would be beautiful but it is even better than the pictures. The location was great and the amenities were top notch. We were celebrating a Birthday and a Wedding Anniversary and we had a wonderful time staying at this house. The BBQ area and pool outside were perfect and got put to good use. We would definitely book this home again for our next trip to Maui. Thanks for everything!!

Our family had an amazing vacation and we all feel so lucky to have discovered this beautiful vacation rental! My husband and I were able to run to the beach and exercise each morning because of the awesome location. We loved lounging outside by the pool and really took advantage of the indoor/outdoor living that the lay out of the home has to offer. We will cherish the memories our family created forever. :) We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a little luxury and a great location.

1/12/09 Our family spent the holidays in this lovely home. The kitchen, living room and lanai were beautiful and we spent a good share of the time in these areas. Even in the rain, we could play cards on the lanai. The kitchen was well stocked, there were beach towels and toys and chairs. The location was close to everything. It was a great home in a beautiful setting and our family has wonderful memories of our trip.
