We loved our stay! Everything was perfect! Great location - close enough to get anywhere driving, clean, had everything you’d need for the beach, hotel staff were friendly and helped arrange adventures/activities and an easy check in/out! Host was friendly, left a welcome basket of treats, always responded to messages and answered any questions! Would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends!

We were very happy with our stay, and pleased with the attention to detail. There was nothing more we needed that wasn’t available. Location to pool could not have been better, walking short distance to beach and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

I had a wonderful time here. The condo had everything I needed with many thoughtful extras. The sunsets and the whales on the beach were spectacular and the pool was just steps from the lanai. I’ll be back in September!

Best supplied and most comfortable VRBO, I've had! All very clean and comfortable. Kaanapali location and the Villas complex very well located. Pretty quiet. Lush grounds. Loved hanging out in the beach loungers, just watching for whales in sound between Maui and Lanai.

Aloha, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. I do hope you will come back to see you soon. Aloha Jeanne
I chose this place due to the reviews, so it is only right that I leave a review. This far exceeded our expectations. No detail was forgotten. From the privacy on the back patio (that no other unit had), the location on the property, the welcome basket for guests, to the unit accommodating items you may have forgotten. Everything was spot on. Communcation was excellent and reassuring. Thank you for making our vacation even better than we expected.

Resort is in a great location - nice beach that is walking distance from a fantastic reef for snorkeling. Unit is on the ground floor with direct access to the lawn and has a wagon with all the supplies you need for the beach. Responsive host who provided a deluxe welcome basket.

The room was so clean, well stocked with everything we might need and so quiet. We loved not being around all the hustle and bustle of whalers village but close enough to walk there if we wanted. We would definitely stay here again!

Mahalo for taking the time to write a review for our property. It is nice and quiet where our unit is located . I am so glad you appreciated that. I know some people like lots of people and action around and the big pool is just perfect for that. We have the best of both worlds. Please think of us again when you return to Maui.
Aloha,

We have stayed here twice, both visits were great. The location is perfect for a relaxing get away… the pool is only steps from the lanai, and the beach is a short walk from there. We look to return again next year!

From the welcome basket when you arrive, to the perfect location close to the pool, to the beach accessories located on the lanai- Jeannie’s property is a very relaxing way to enjoy Maui.
We very much enjoyed the condo. It was clean, comfortable, well located and had everything one needs while away from home. The patio area was particularly well suited for relaxation and a surprisingly quiet. We enjoyed the welcome basket. Please note the bed is quite firm.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. The lanai is one of my favorite places too. The bed is new so I guess it would be a bit firm. I will look forward to your return when you need a little Maui time. Mahalo for writing a review.
Aloha, Jeanne
This has to be the best setup VRBO we have ever stayed at. It had everything we needed and then some. The patio was perfect and very close to the smaller pool which was much quieter than the larger pool and perfect for chilling after some time in the ocean. We would definitely stay here again.l

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.
