Beautiful Ocean View High-Rise in Ka’anapali 🌴😎⛵️

Experience breathtaking ocean and resort views from one of the best vantage points in the entire Kaanapali Shores Resort. This unit is unique in that it is one of only eight studio units that are placed in the inner courtyard (the other face neighboring properties and have very restricted ocean views). This high vantage point unit has superior views of the tropical gardens, waterfalls and the newly renovated garden pool, as well as panoramic views of the ocean and adjacent island (in winter/spring months you'll be able to see humpback whales from the unit). The daytime and sunset views from the lanai are stunning, and after dusk when the tiki lights are lit, the garden pool glows from below in a beautiful array of colors.

This spacious, air conditioned studio unit has a fully equipped kitchen with newer appliances (all full size), a spacious bathroom with tub/shower, new furniture, and a supremely comfortable King size bed positioned to provide a view of the beautiful blue ocean. If you book a comparable studio directly through the resort (Junior Suite with Kitchen), you'll pay ~50% more, you'll sleep in a queen bed vs our king bed, you won't have a dining table, you'll have to pay for beach chairs/umbrella/cooler, and you won't be guaranteed an ocean view.

The unit is thoughtfully decorated and equipped with a host of extra amenities (keyless front door, beach towels, room safe, hair dryer, iron/ironing board, soap, shampoo/conditioner, dishes, cookware, binoculars, blue-tooth music speaker, smart TV, DVD player, beach chairs, beach cooler, etc). There are dozens of restaurants, a full service grocery store, an ABC convenience store, several coffee shops, a farmer's market, two parks, and a gourmet food truck area - all within walking distance of the resort. If you rent a car, there is a $10.95 day parking fee, payable directly to the resort (shaded parking is available right next to the elevators). High speed internet, cable TV and local calls are included for free. Coin operated washers/dryers are available for guest use on every other floor of the building (laundry machines are not in the unit). We are very attentive hosts, answering questions and providing support before and during your entire stay, and are proud of our exceptionally high ratings from past guests.

The unit just went through an extensive remodel, including fresh paint and premium carpeting, new lanai slider doors, and blackout drapes. The queen bed was replaced with a king size platform bed with a premium hybrid mattress (the same one they use in the neighboring high-end/very high price resorts); and distinctive artwork from several local artists were added. It's definitely one of the nicest studios in all of Kaanapali Shores, but don't take our word for it - check out the reviews of our wonderful guests, many who come back year after year.

The Kaanapali Shores Resort occupies 10 acres on the famous Kaanapali Coast in West Maui. Visitors have golf, shopping, and dining just minutes away. The property faces a long stretch of beach suitable for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, or boogie boarding (please note that sand conditions throughout the island can vary based on recent storms/wave conditions/tides/seasons). The fitness center, tennis, pickle ball and shuffleboard courts, jet spas, cabanas and sauna are available to guests (some require a nominal fee to use). Take a dip in one of the two fresh water pools. The Garden pool is set amidst a lush landscape, and offers many playful features like mini waterfalls, spouting streams and colorful LED lights. Meanwhile, the Oceanfront pool offers leisure and relaxation with open views of the Pacific. Grab a happy hour drink or dine at the poolside bar and restaurant while watching the waves crashing onto the shoreline just feet away, or take in one of the weekly Polynesian shows. The resort also has a salon, several art and gift shops, an outside reading library, and a coffee shop on the premises. Enjoy a jog or leisurely walk on the nearby coastal boardwalk that goes for miles to the south. World championship golf at Kaanapali and Kapalua are located only 5 miles away. Explore additional shopping and restaurants in Historic downtown Lahaina located only 5-10 miles to the south. Kaanapali Shores was ranked by readers as one of the top resort values, and one of the best mid-range resorts in all of Maui in Hawaii Magazine's 2023 Best of the Best survey. It was also voted as Scuba Diving Magazine's 2020 Readers Choice Awards for best resort to stay during your trip to Maui.

If you book for 7+ nights between April and Dec, you'll automatically get a 5% discount on the nightly rental rate.

Note: We have a video/audio security camera mounted outside/above the front door. It is turned on only during check-in and check-out days to verify safe arrival/departure of registered guests, and to assist guests with any unit access issues (e.g. digital code entry/physical key access).

Please note that Kaanapali Shores Resort is undergoing an Elevated Railing Replacement and Concrete Spalling Repair Project (as are neighboring resorts). Although work on our building stack and unit is complete, there may be some intermittent construction noise during the day coming from other parts of the resort. Past guests have noted that the noise levels, if heard at all, have been very tolerable.

It is our privilege to donate a portion of our income to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, who help fulfill the wishes of critically-ill children. Mahalo for helping us to make a difference in their lives.

The only bad thing I can think of is we had to leave. ☹ This is a perfect Maui stay option. The unit and property were well-maintained and had excellent amenities. Excellent view under the penthouse level and an accessible elevator in and out of parking, which was a breeze. The resort restaurant and bar staff were all friendly and attentive. Thomas’s check-in and check-out support was excellent. The beach chairs and umbrella were welcome support for beach days. Great local food options within walking distance (Food Truck Park is a not to miss) or a short drive to other resorts for fancier fare. The big supermarket down the street was well stocked and catered to locals and visitors alike (I found some items there that I could not find in the Big Safeway.) All in all, if this is open when you plan to visit, book it. You will not regret it.

Just as advertised. A clean, well kept studio with everything you could need. Having a well equipped kitchen was great as we cooked several meals. We also appreciated the cooler, beach chairs and towels for day trips. Nice that they were included so we didn’t have to rent them. Thomas was great and provided us with lots of information on the area. The complex is older but very well maintained and walking distance to restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Thomas!

We stayed 8 nights and stayed in for dinners majority of the time. Used the resorts BBQ several nights. I would consider this a fairly large studio. The bed was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Amazing view, great location, wonderful stay
When booking my stay at Maui, I was hoping to get a resort-like experience with top-notch amenities at a price that did not break the bank (no $400+ per night stays at a resort). This unit checked off all of the boxes. Clean room, plenty of amenities (beach chair, boogie board, ice cooler, binoculars), and having access to the resort pool was really awesome. 11 out of 10!

The property was just fantastic! We enjoyed the comfortable bed, kitchen and view! The condo was situated perfectly to have morning coffee on the balcony and gaze at the ocean. Saw several whales which was a bonus! The condos are located right by the beach. The pool was so beautiful along with the surrounding area. The mia tias are a must if hanging out in the pool. Thomas is a wonderful host and answered all of our questions and made the stay so effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This unit was spotless, tastefully decorated, uncluttered and extremely well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the view was incredible. They really thought of everything in putting this rental together. The property is older but extremely well maintained and in a great location. Walking to local restaurants and shops is easy and there is a grocery store right across the street. There are numerous beaches within walking and driving distance in either direction. I love this area of Maui as the location is ideal if you don’t want to drive every day. You could have a fabulous holiday at this property without turning a wheel.

Absolutly AMAZING!
My mom and I were planning our very first trip to any of the islands. This can be a very overwhelming process, figuring out where to stay for 7 days, traveling 11 hours by plane from Wisconsin wanting it to be perfect but also within budget. My mom came across " Beautiful View High-Rise in Kaanapali". Being a VRBO rental I was a little nervous and hoping it would be as listed, took the chance and booked! Thomas was in touch with 24 hours of booking letting us know he's our host and already asking what he can do for us and our trip was MONTHS out! 2 weeks before our trip I emailed him to ask if he had any recomendations on tours/food that we should consider booking in advance and he sent us an entire packet of info with the who, what, where and why to go there! It was so helpful we went to many places he suggested! He sent us checkin information and days ahead as discussed he gave us the specific details on time as promised. We arrived and didnt have to mess with checking into resort and after traveling all day just went right to our room which was the best part! It is EXACTLY to a tee as advertised in the photos! THAT VIEW THOUGH!!!! It was Clean and he had everything you could need. We bought food and drinks. We had coffee and bfast on lanai every morning. Packed lunches using his cooler for the beach along with towels, chairs, umbrellas ect. He even had bincoluars to watch for whales!!! So much in walking distance, we rented a car and only used half a tank. 10/10 recomend!

Unit was right off of the elevator, which was very handy and never noisy. Beach chairs, cooler, and umbrella are very appreciated, also the extra beach towels. The view is even better than the pictures. There are binoculars, a flashlight, and even insulated mugs-things we normally bring from home, they are wonderful extras to have in the unit. We would definitely stay again. The resort staff was also awesome. The Beach House restaurant on site is cheaper and better than Castaway Cafe farther south.

We arrive very late but the instructions and directions were very precise and we walked right in as if we were at home. The unit had everything we needed and more. The birds would welcome us every morning and breakfast on the lanai with the view and sound of the surf were a dream. We had a totally different view of Maui from the Kaanapali side of the island. We also became very familiar with the drive to Kihei, uplands and eastern side. The January storms subsided to allow us excellent quality beach and snorkeling time. Well thats all for the good times and now the long flight back to -24 (-11F) substituting snow for sand.

From start to finish our stay was fantastic. Thomas had amazing outreach before we even landed in Hawaii. He supplied an insiders guide to the area, made the check in process a breeze, and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay.
