Thermostatically controlled, Central Air Conditioning, cools the unit. Our condo has a comfortable King Bed with new mattress, and a new Queen pull-out sofa bed. It has been recently remodeled to include new stainless steel kitchen appliances, drapes, carpet and paint. The Resort is set on 11 acres of exotic tropical gardens, along one of the finest stretches of Ka'anapali Beach.

Relax in chaises under the trees on the peaceful lawn adjacent to the beach, or grab our beach umbrella and chairs and sink your toes into the sand. Spot Humpback whales directly from shore between November and March. Golf at any of four nearby championship golf courses, or play next door at the Royal Lahaina Tennis Club. Ride the "Free Green Ka'anapali Trolley" to shopping, restaurants, and hotels for entertainment or luaus just south of Black Rock.

Having the free green trolley circulate between the larger hotels, restaurants and shopping make transport there so convenient. No need to worry about driving and finding a parking place.

We agree that waking up to the sun rising while enjoying a cup of coffee on the lanai, or watching the sun set over the ocean, is indeed one of our very favorite things about our ocean view Maui condo. I take great pride in providing our guests with direct communication, and I am glad you found that to be helpful during your stay.

We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay in our Maui condo. We agree that the resort is so convenient to activities, shopping, and restaurants. Strolling the paved beach path or taking the Free Green Ka'anapali Trolley to restaurants, luaus, and shopping south of Black Rock is one of our favorite things to do...if we can pull ourselves away from swimming and snorkeling in the warm, tropical waters off of our beach. We look forward to your next visit!

Barbara was an amazing host! The condo was in a great location, close to the grocery store and had a free trolly we took to different locations for dinner multiple nights. There was everything we needed to have a great beach day already there, and the beach was less than a two minute walk away! We had an amazing trip and cannot recommend this condo enough!

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Rubin
Our family has been vacationing at Maui Ka'anapali Villas for over 30 years. Our daughters, Emily and Dori grew up on this beach swimming, snorkeling, and hunting for beach glass. Our best vacation memories are of days spent here. We feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to buy our condo, and we look forward to sharing our joy with you.
Why they chose this property
We have loved this resort property for many years. The beach is pristine and uncrowded, and the water is crystal clear and warm. We boast the best snorkeling reef on Maui which stretches 1 1/2 mile north. Our grounds feature 11 acres of tropical landscaping offering a spacious feeling of low density living.
What makes this property unique
Growing up in Southern California, we always loved playing in the ocean. We fell in love with our resort the first time we visited. When we arrive, we kick our shoes off, don our swimsuits, grab our snorkels, and away into the sea we go!
