About this property
Our Little Grass Shack at Kaanapali Villas
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.

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.
