Vacation Rentals by Owner

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 would absolutely stay here again.

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.

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.

Perfect Location with Perfect Owners

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 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.

WOW! What a home! We were planning for our Maui trip for a year and we knew we would have a wonderful visit to the Island and this house met all of our needs. However, when we arrived and walked into this home it took our breath away as it was so much more then we ever imagined. It was so fully stocked and the special details that they give to the renters is fantastic! Honestly, our reaction was that we would be happy just to spend the entire visit to Maui just staying at this beautiful home. It certainly added to our stay in Maui and we were sad to leave and look forward to return and stay at this lovely home again. We really don't know where you would go to top this! The kitchen was a cooks dream; the master bedroom was also breathtaking and we loved the outdoor shower. We certainly enjoyed the lanai and pool. What more is there to say but WOW! The owners certainly know quality and how to fulfill every need that a renter would have!

My family just returned from a two week stay at this beautiful property. Even though our party consisted of eight (seven adults and a two year old), we had plenty of room both inside and out. The pool area was a lush garden which we enjoyed while swimming, grilling scrumptious dinners or just hanging out. The big screen tv was a hit in the evenings and the dvd player was used to play old family movies. Nothing was forgotten by the owners. Shampoo, conditioner, paper products, laundry soap, etc. were provided for our use. Beach toys, towels, and coolers were on hand for our trips to the beach. Don't hesitate to rent this house for your next visit to Maui. We all had the time of our lives!

Oh my god. I walked into this house and knew right away this was going to be s great place to spend 2 weeks. I met with the owner to get the keys...what a sweetheart. There were 5 of us, me, single, 2 other singles, and 1 married couple. I gave the married couple the huge master suite and bath. I took the queen size bedroom with bath, and the 2 other single tossed a coin for the 2 other bedrooms with baths. One queen size and the other 2 twin beds. That is what was great about this house, we all had our own private baths. There was a t.v. in the living room, master bedroom and my bedroom. There are unlimited places to dine out within about a 10 minute drive or less. I cooked on the outdoor bar-b-que 4 times and it cooked everything to perfection. The lanai is positioned facing west so you could enjoy the sunsets in the afternoon. And if the sun was too much, the house had electronic roll down screens to protect you from the direct sun. There were ceiling fans in every room including the lanai, so I rarely turned on the A/C. We are all golfers, and there are 4 course very close by. We opted most of the time to play the Ka'anapali north and south courses. Not real difficult for the average golfers like we are. All 18 handicap or above lol. The south course is very forgiving for women since their tee boxes on some holes are way up from the standard tees. So you women, don't be afraid to give it a try. What else can I say other than I plan to rent this house again WE HAD A GREAT TIME. Thank you very much to our hosts.

This house was perfect for us. After traveling so long to get there, we were all pleasantly surprised with the house. The owners were very nice and attentive. The house was fully stocked, very clean and nicely decorated. The outdoor shower and grill were the highlights! We will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to our friends. Our friends staying in a nearby hotel were envious of our choice!

We loved this house! It's very convenient to the beach, shopping, and restaurants, but the house is so wonderful you won't have to leave to enjoy yourself. There was plenty of space for our extended family. We enjoyed the family-size grill and eating on the lanai by the pool. The kitchen had every convenience we ever wanted. One problem - you may have to fight the rest of your party for the luxurious master bedroom and bath!

We stayed at the house in August and though it was incredible. There were 9 of us - 5 adults and 4 kids (16, 11, 4, 2) and it was a blast. Every need was met and we loved the kitchen and being on the golf course. The master bedroom rocks! Angela was very hospitable. So close to the best beaches. We could not have asked for anything more. Peace, Lance

While orignially I was weary of renting off a website. This house truly is a gem. We walked in and immediately felt at home. It is even better than it appears on the website and everything is up to date, fully equiped. The owners could not have been more helpful. I highly recommend this place. Excellent location - 10 min max walk to the beach, on the golf course, great location. What a superb week, we wish we could have stayed longer!

This house far exceeded our expectations. It is impeccably furnished and decorated with the best quality appliances, electronics and materials. Nothing broken or worn, it is in excellent condition. It amazed us that such a house could possibly be in the rental market. I wish I could convince the owner to come decorate our home.

This house exceeded my expectations. It has beautiful decorations, a dream kitchen and a master bedroom that you will fight over if you have an another audult couple staying with you. The back yard is a golf course. You can walk to the beach. Very nice upscale neighborhood. Close to shopping and Resorts. I would suggest this house to anyone & would stay there again.

This house was very beautiful. It was nicely decorated and very clean and had all the necessities. Staying in the house allowed ours kids more room to roam around. We took early morning walks along the golf course and were able to walk to the beach in 5 minutes. The pool was nice just to cool off during the day. The owners were very attentive to our needs, they offered to get a few specific groceries for us knowing our arrival time was late and would need some staples. They also had beach toys for our kids to use during our stay at the home. The house made our trip! The owners were very nice and accommodating. They went the extra mile for us. We definitely recommend them and will book with them again when in Maui!!
