Sweeping Oceanview at the Fabulous Kaanapali Shores Resort!

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Pros: 1. It's very easy to contact the owner. Completely frustration-free. Owner replies your questions or concerns right away. 2. Walking distance less than 5 minutes to grocery stores and a few restaurants and snorkel Bob although we drove every time. 3. Very nice Garden and pool and jacuzzi. No life guard on duty means - no one will kick my baby out of the pool. They actually have a shallow pool area for babies to play in. Beach towel is supplied by the property. 4. Very clean. We love the carpet so my baby and run around bare feet. 5. They out enough toiletries: paper towel, toilet paper, trash bags, towels of all sizes.

Cons:

1. Not enough seasoning for cooking. We had to buy soy sauce, cooking oil, sugar, honey, etc. we ended up not even using them because most of the cooking pans were so scratched up that we did not feel comfortable cooking in them.

2. No shampoo or conditioner which the owner did tell us in advance which we appreciate.

3. Kaanapali shores is not really in Kaanapali. 10 minutes north of Kaanapali. The location is almost the farthest from the airport. But I rented this condo because of their awesome pool and garden.

4. All day long and even at night we hear beep beep beep.because downstairs there are always trucks backing up making the warning sound. It did not bother me at all but it bothered my husband.

We really enjoyed our stay in #830. The location is wonderful -- perfect mornings for coffee on the lanai with Molokai keeping us company. The pool area was just great, and the bar staff took very good care of us -- maybe too good ;-). The one small offputting thing I noticed (besides the fact that there wasn't a garbage can in the kitchen -- likely a housekeeping oversight) was kind of a strange smell in the outer hallway and the bedroom. However, that wouldn't keep us from returning! Thanks for giving us a lovely vacation.

We enjoyed it very much and did not miss anything. Condo was well kept and even comfortable for staying at home when we had bad weather. From our living room window we could watch whales swim by.

The view from this condo is amazing!! We have been coming to Maui for 15 years, and have always stayed at this resort - this condo is far and away our favorite. It is clean, nicely decorated, well appointed with all needs. Having the washer & dryer is so helpful! The bed is comfy, and the pull out sofa is helpful. The condo does have A/C but it is so well ventilated, and the ceiling fans made it almost unnecessary. We will definitely be staying here again!

Spent 2 fabulous weeks at this condo over Christmas. It was very clean with an extremely well equipped kitchen. We found the bed very comfortable, and the walk-in shower was a great bonus . Ocean view was stunning, and we were fortunate to see many whales from the lanai! The beach chairs, boogie boards and beach bag were very useful too.

Just a couple of minor things to mention, the condo would benefit from a fresh coat of paint and the fridge/freezer was a little dated with rust patches on the outside (perfectly clean inside though!) Did not spoil our stay there though! We would certainly recommend booking this condo. It was also very easy to deal with the owners when booking, who clearly care about the condo and their guests. They even provided us with a very useful 8 page 'tourist guide' of the area, based on their experiences.
