Ocean Views, Private Pool & Spa, Steps to Kaanapali Beach – Your Maui Paradise Awaits
E komo mai (welcome) to your island sanctuary, where the beauty of Maui and the spirit of aloha surround you. Wake to mesmerizing nānā (views) of the moana (ocean), with Lanai and Molokai gracing the horizon, and spend your days lounging by your private pool, soaking in the heated spa, or taking a short poholo (stroll) to Kaanapali Beach and Whalers Village. Breathe in the sweet scent of plumeria as you relax on the lanai, or gather with your ʻohana (family) in the fully equipped kuke (kitchen) to share laughter and meals. Every corner of this luxurious hale (home) is thoughtfully designed to cradle you in comfort, from spacious bedrooms to modern amenities like snorkel gear, boogie boards, and toys for the keiki (children). Whether snorkeling vibrant reefs, exploring lush trails, or savoring fiery sunsets, this is where Maui dreams come true.
Features Designed to Inspire Aloha:
Breathtaking Nāna (Views): Step onto your expansive lanai and let the world melt away.

This is your daily postcard come to life.
Private Pool & Heated Spa: Float in the cool, refreshing waters of your own pool or sink into the warm embrace of the spa. Surrounded by swaying palms and the sweet scent of plumeria, this is where relaxation finds you.
Four Spacious Bedrooms: • A master sanctuary with a plush King bed and stunning sunrise nānā of the ocean—a gentle wake-up gift each day. • A versatile guest suite, offering both a Queen bed and twin beds, ideal for accommodating your ʻohana (family). • A cozy retreat with a Queen bed, perfect for restful hiamoe (sleep) after a day of adventure. • A welcoming fourth bedroom, providing comfort and privacy for everyone. Three Thoughtfully Designed Bathrooms: Including a newly updated lower-level bath, ensuring every guest feels at home and cared for.
Gourmet Kuke (Kitchen): Fully stocked and modern, this kitchen invites you to savor the joy of preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients. Every dish feels like a celebration of the island's flavors.
Effortless Comfort: Stay cool with central A/C, enjoy high-speed internet, and unwind with LCD TVs for movie nights or quiet afternoons indoors.
Adventure at Your Fingertips: From snorkel gear and boogie boards to golf clubs and keiki (children's) toys, everything you need for unforgettable Maui adventures is ready and waiting for you.
Outdoor Bliss: Start your mornings with coffee on the lanai, sharing the dawn with ocean breezes. End your day with sunset cocktails as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors, surrounded by lush, tropical beauty.
The Best of Kaanapali at Your Doorstep: Resort Amenities • Unbeatable Location: Nestled in the exclusive Kaanapali Vista community, this retreat is just a short poholo (stroll) to Whalers Village, where boutique shops, oceanfront dining, and the vibrant energy of Dig Me Beach await. • World-Famous Beaches: Feel the golden sands of Kaanapali Beach under your feet as gentle waves invite you to snorkel, paddleboard, or simply soak in the warm Hawaiian sun. • Recreation at Every Turn: From the renowned Kaanapali Golf Courses to scenic hikes and Maui's iconic attractions, every day offers something new to discover. • Convenience Meets Charm: Stock up on fresh, local goods at nearby grocery stores or treat yourself to ono (delicious) island favorites at quaint coffee shops and eateries. • Tranquil Surroundings: Immerse yourself in the lush, vibrant landscape of the resort, where native Hawaiian flora, gentle trade winds, and a deep sense of aloha create a haven for your soul.

We had a group of 7 friends and this place was absolutely perfect. We all fit comfortably and the pool was an amazing touch. The host was very responsive and checked in frequently. I would highly recommend this property.
Location was perfect and the pool was a nice addition for the kids when we were beached out. The only downfall was the washing machine did not work so we ran out of towels.

Perfect location
This house was just right for three couples. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of space to gather together. Location was central to all activities we had planned. The host, Bruce, was very nice and gave good instructions. The house was well equipped with beach items and the neighborhoods was very nice.
Charming home! The home was close to everything! There was plenty of room. We could watch whales jumping in the distance. The only thing I would suggest to the home owner is sharper knives. That's the only complaint-We had everything else we needed. Would TOTALLY recommend for a family vaca. Thank you!!

Big Ol' Kaanapali House
This house had plenty of room to fit 8 people (4 couples) and a 2yo comfortably. It was great having 3 full baths. We found ourselves lounging out on the lanai a lot, which has a big table and some comfy chairs - great for having a local Maui beer and staring over the palm trees to the ocean in the distance.
The location is also really convenient. 5min drive to Whaler's Village. 10min drive to Lahaina. 15min walk to Kanaapali Beach. Safeway and Foodland nearby. Close to the fun but sitting on a quiet cul-de-sac with a driveway that easily fits two cars.
Several beach chairs provided. Boogie boards. Some snorkeling fins. Inflatable tubes. Beach toys for kids. Plenty of beach towels.
I think it's a great house for a laid back group. It's definitely not resort quality accommodations, but it has a very Hawaii feel and I think you'd have a hard time finding a better value.
This was a perfect property to stay at for us. Lots of room for 8 people and close to everything we wanted to do. Close enough to walk to the beach and cliffs to jump off into the ocean. Would definitely stay here again.
My family rented the property for a week and enjoyed the house and pool. The location is perfect as you can easily walk to beach and all of the beach stores and restaurants.
Absolutely perfect! The home is amazing and has everything you need for a wonderful vacation. Very responsive to any needs you have. Location is a few minute walk to the beach/restaurants etc. Pool and hot tub were an exceptional bonus-
The property was in a great location and a very nice home. Would definitely have given it 5 stars but unfortunately the pool wasn't finished yet. Otherwise we had an amazing time and would definitely stay there again.
This house was very comfortable for our family vacation including 3 couples and one toddler. It was the perfect size space for us. The house was clean and as pictured/advertised. The location was nice, about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, and we had enjoyed using the boogie boards and other beach toys.
60th Birthday celebration with the kids and grand children
The location of this home is great and it’s a short walk to the beach.
The house was comfortable and it will be fun to enjoy the pool when it’s finished. Bruce was a wonderful host answering any and all questions very quickly. Check in was a breeze.

We were a party of 6 adults and two children (6 and 8 years old). We had plenty of space both inside and outside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location was good. A few issues arose during our stay. - the hot tub was not on and it took several requests for help. We finally got it running ourselves but it needs repair. - the coffee pot was missing a filter basket insert - the upstairs shower had marble flooring and was dangerously slippery when wet. I told our contact we needed a mat - no response - a powerful rain/wind storm knocked out our power for 24 hours. We lost power around 7:00pm. We had to use cell phone flashlights to search cabinets/ drawers for flashlights. We finally found two with dead batteries and but later found more batteries. I called the MauiLife emergency numbers for help and left a message, never got a call back. - the pool overflowed several times - there was a roof leak into the hall by the upstairs bathroom, we put a pot to catch water
This house is well located just across the street from the Kanaapili resort area and only 10 minutes to Lahaina. It is a great place for a larger group, with two master suites (one of which is a two room suite) and a smaller bedroom. The kitchen is large enough for a group to cook dinners in comfort and there is both a large living room upstairs and a small one downstairs. We spent most of our time on the lanai, marveling at the beautiful view over to Molokai.
What a wonderful home. Everything we needed for our family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). We all loved the pool and hot tub; grandkids spent hours in there!! Perfect location. We walked to Whaler’s Village; close to Kaanapali and easy drive to Lahaina!! Bruce was easy to get ahold of if we had a question or needed something. Perfect family vacation.
We enjoyed our stay. The property is located in a great area. The pool and spa were great. The spa programs took a few minutes to figure out but were worth the effort. We really enjoyed the spacious common rooms upstairs and the screened porch. The basement bedrooms could use a little updating but the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. We had an issue with the washing machine but were still able to use it with small loads. In all, we thought it had charm and good usable space for our family.
Good for a large group. Spacious with lots of room. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and the property was nice with ac. Fully equipped kitchen. Just make sure you don’t leave food out as there are any problems, they literally swarm within minutes. They don’t bite though. The place has lots of toys and amenities to use
We really enjoyed the home we stayed in on Maui. It would have been a 5 star if they had finished the pool and spa in time for our family to use it. It was close to being finished. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood and had fantastic ocean views. It had lots of furnished upstairs dining and viewing areas which were awesome. Once the pool and spa are ready we will request this VRBO again. Also, it's practically on a beautiful golf course. It was stocked with lots of in door games and out door toys. It was close to Whaler's Village, which was great!
This house is pure Maui charm. It is an older house, but it is clean, well stocked, close to everything and has a pool. We have 7-people and an 18-month old baby with us. We absolutely loved the place. The owner, Lee, is very responsive if you have any questions or an issue. We did have a plumbing issue and notify the owner. Someone was there within an hour and fixed the issue.
The house was a great place to use as our home base for this vacation. We would definitely rent it again!

Absolutely perfect - exactly what a rental should be
The location of the house is super convenient and central as we were a few minute drive from Front St, the Kaanapali and Napili Beach Resorts. The house was absolutely spotless and we immediately felt comfortable in the house. Bruce insisted on doing a walk through of the house upon our arrival and it proved instrumental in helping us quickly adjust to this house. We made use of all the items included with the rental from the beach equipment to the BBQ. If we had more time, we might have even played a round of golf. My family had a great time and we'd love to stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Kaanapali rental
Pros: Comfortable home with panoramic view of Lanai, some ocean and beautiful sunsets. Situated close to Kaanapali resort and Whaler's village. Owner responded promptly to questions and problems. Lots of beach toys for the children. Beds were very comfortable.
Cons: advertised swimming pool was being redone and not functional. Owner did reimburse some of rental fee due to said absence. One good beach chair and others were pretty beat up. Cockroaches in ground level living areas.

Lahaina in March
Great location, nice kitchen and dining area, and nice privacy between Master up and 3 rooms down. BIG BUT, the upstairs cooling is a real problem even with the 3rd window AC installed in the dining room. Old portable fans inoperative and BBQ totally rusted away needs to be sent to the landfill. Would not return until central air was installed.
