About this property

Ocean View, Corner Unit Light and Bright

Welcome to your Maui home away from home! Our family-owned and operated condos have been lovingly cared for by our ohana for over 50 years. We personally live on island and treat each unit with the same attention, care, and aloha we give our own home. Staying here means you’re not just renting a condo—you’re being welcomed into our family’s place on Maui.

Step into paradise! Our bright corner studio at Maui Kaanapali Villas is just a 3 minute garden stroll from the beach, pools, and Castaway Café. Snorkel, sun, relax—and let our little grass shack be your Maui escape.

*About the Property*
Welcome to your Maui retreat! Our ground-floor corner studio at Maui Kaanapali Villas is light, bright, and decorated in the relaxed style of Old Hawaii with modern touches. Nestled on 11 acres of lush tropical gardens along Kaanapali Beach, this private unit puts you just steps away from the ocean, pools, dining, and resort amenities.

*Location Highlights*
-Serene beachfront setting – our location north of Black Rock means you’ll enjoy a quieter, more relaxed stretch of Kaanapali Beach without the tourist crowds, while still having the perks of a resort beach (chairs, snorkeling, easy ocean access).
-Fantastic snorkeling & swimming – calm waters and reef right out front.
-World-class golf nearby – just minutes away is the legendary Kāʻanapali Golf Courses, offering two 18-hole courses—the Royal and the more forgiving Kai—with ocean and island views that delight both serious players and casual golfers.
-Direct access to Beach – world-class snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, sailing, and diving right in front.
-Castaway Café – oceanfront dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps away.
-Free Kaanapali Trolley – ride to Whalers Village for restaurants, shops, art galleries, and nightlife.
-Adventure nearby – whale watching, sunset sailboat cruises, zipline tours, off-roading, and diving.

*The Space*
-King-size bed with luxurious linens and plenty of pillows.
-Old Hawaii–inspired décor with beautiful bamboo flooring.
-Fully equipped and well appointed kitchen for home-cooked meals including refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, coffee maker and more!
-Smart TV with Netflix & Amazon (use your account).
-Private lanai with garden views.
-On-site BBQ grills and laundromat.

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.

Aloha Chris, Mahalo for your review. I am so sorry the enjoyment of your stay was interupted due to the visitation of the cockroach. We have had an extensive pest control treatment done so this won't be a problem for my guests in the future. The airconditioner was also attended to. I stayed at the condo just to be sure all things were working well and didn't have any visitations from any tropical critters. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip on Maui. Aloha, Jeanne

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.

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.

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.
