The stay was a bit mixed. The room was just as expected from the pictures on the website and the description given - it was clean and tidy, however there were a few issues during our stay. The air conditioner was quite noisy and unfortunately with all the previous rain Maui received, the room had cockroaches. With that said, the host was very responsive and ultimately provided reimbursement, which showed she cared about making things right. Overall the room, location on the property and customer service was fantastic. With attention to the few maintenance issues, this villa would be a fantastic place to stay.
All was wonderful, lovely welcome basket, clean, bright, and tropically decorated with a lovely view from the lanai. Coffee in the hotel lobby and two pools available. The Beach Walk either direction was enjoyed daily.

We loved our stay in The Little Grass Shack. The cleanliness, decor, , welcome basket, and communications with Jeanne were perfect. So many little details that were unexpected and made our stay feel special. The kichen is well equiped to be able to dine-iin, if you choose.The property is walkable to the beach as well as many restuarants and shopping.

Great place, 10 out of 10, would highly recommend. The owner was responsive and great to work with. Fully stocked, basic spices in the cabinets, basic supplies like ziplock bags, plastic wrap and aluminum foil. A knife block with actual good knives. Easy walk to the beach and main pool, with the small pool only steps away. Will most likely look at staying again in 2028.

Our stay at Jeanne's little grass shack was amazing! She was incredibly welcoming and responsive. The condo is even more gorgeous in person. We loved using the private lanai for our coffee in the mornings. The beach chairs and toys were much appreciated. We will be back!

This is a wonderful studio room. The owner seemed to have thought of everything we might need during our stay including beach chairs, umbrella, etc., including a welcome basket. It is located next to an adult only pool and spa. Parking is great and the room could not have been cleaner. Highly recommend this Little Grass Shack at Kaanapali Villas.

Aloha Jeffrey,
I am glad you enjoyed yourselves. You left some glasses and earbuds in the side table and fins in the wagon. Just wondering if you want them? Also wondering what we could have done to make your stay more enjoyable to earn a 5 star review. We strive to make all five stars and if there is anything we can change please let me know. Aloha, Jeanne
Outstanding unit, even better owner!We have been visiting Maui Kaanapali Villas yearly for 18 years, many years visiting twice. This is the best appointed unit we have rented. This condo is head and shoulders above any other unit we have rented. Everything has been well thought through, from extra soap, paper products, everything we wanted in the kitchen and there was a nice selection of condiments and spices available (I get frustrated paying Maui prices for a bunch of little things like mustard, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and other little cooking ingredients). The television gets about 150 channels or more, the kitchen has a coffee maker and coffee grinder (along with a day or two of coffee beans from the owner. Wonderful King size bed, shower/tub, great knife set (Yes, the knives were sharp), and a wonderful welcome basket with chocolates, cookies, wine, macadamia nuts and Maui Potato chips! There plenty of extra bathroom towels, hair dryer, just everything we needed. Also included was a wagon full of beach equipment including boogie board, beach mats, foam noodles for the pools.This unit is by far the best stocked unit we have rented. I can’t recommend this unit highly enough.

Aloha Kurt, I can’t thank you enough for writing such a detailed review of your stay at our condo. Your explanation painted a beautiful picture of what it truly is like to stay with us. I’m sure this will help lots of people to make a decision whether to stay with us or not and again I so appreciate the effort. I will look forward to your next stay. Mahalo nui loa, Jeanne
Married only 11 months, we thoroughly enjoyed honeymooning at this resort property. It had everything we needed and one of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in.
What a beautiful condo! We stayed for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. The condo is equipped with every amenity you can think of, and the welcome basket from Jeanne was a lovely touch. Can't beat the location, Kaanapali Beach is walking distance. We can't wait to come visit again.

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.

About the host
Hosted by Jeanne
Aloha, I’m Jeanne, and I have the joy of caring for our family’s villas at Maui Kaanapali Villas. I first moved to Lahaina in 1974, and since 1980 I’ve lived upcountry on the beautiful slopes of Makawao and Haʻikū. All of my children were born and raised here, enjoying the simple joys of growing up on Maui.
My oldest son traded his surfboard for a snowboard when he left for college, but my two younger boys still live on island and love spending time at our villa. My brothers and their families are based in California and visit as often as they can. In fact, during the 1980s, our entire family—parents, kids, and spouses—all lived together here at the Villas, filling the space with laughter and memories.
Now, it’s a joy to share this special place with guests like you. We take pride in treating our condos with love and care, and we’re sure you’ll feel the difference. We hope you enjoy your time here as much as we do—and perhaps we’ll have the chance to meet you soon.
Why they chose this property
When I first moved to Maui, my friends and I would park our Prindle Cat sailboats right on the beach in front of Maui Kaanapali Villas. It was our hangout spot—we’d spend hours sailing, relaxing on the sand, and ending our days at the Castaway Café bar. When my family came to visit, it quickly became our gathering place too.
In 1977, when my dad visited for the first time, he fell in love with the property so much that he purchased our first villa. A few years later, he purchased another, and ever since our family has been enjoying, remodeling, renting, and returning to this special place. Now some of my children are older than I was when I first arrived on Maui, and yet the magic of MKV hasn’t changed—it’s still our favorite place to spend time together.
Everyone in our family loves coming back to the villas, and just as my mom and dad passed them on to us, we know one day we’ll pass them on to our kids. Maui Kaanapali Villas remains one of the only places on Kaanapali Beach that has held onto that same warm, welcoming feeling it had decades ago. We hope you’ll find as much joy here as we have over the years.
What makes this property unique
Our condos at Maui Kaanapali Villas are truly one-of-a-kind because they’ve been family-owned, cared for, and loved for nearly 50 years. My dad first purchased here in 1977 after falling in love with the property, and since then three generations of our family have grown up sailing, swimming, and spending time at MKV. We personally live on island, so each condo is impeccably maintained and thoughtfully cared for—not managed by a distant company.
Unlike the busier parts of Kaanapali Beach, our location north of Black Rock offers a calm, serene stretch of sand that feels private, while still giving you all the conveniences of a resort: pools, hot tubs, beach chairs, beachfront dining, and easy access to Whalers Village and Lahaina. Families especially appreciate our bathtub for sandy kids, pull-out sofa, gated pool just steps away, and a full kitchen with a real fridge and freezer—details that make vacation simple.
It’s that mix of authentic Old Hawaii charm, modern comfort, and our family’s legacy of aloha that makes staying here feel so special. When you book with us, you’re not just renting a condo—you’re being welcomed into our family’s piece of Maui.
