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 ...

We booked this condo for my elderly parents (74+) and they had a wonderful stay. Thomas made the whole process very simple and was very responsive. The location of this condo is outstanding. My parents really enjoyed the balcony and view. The condo was clean and stocked with everything they needed. The grounds are beautiful. They are already planning another trip and wanting to book this condo again. Would recommend this condo to anyone as Thomas is a great host.

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 enjoyed our stay! Clean, well appointed, it is as described as well as the photos. The property was beautiful and we used both pools. 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!
Thomas, appreciate your communication with us!
Thank you.

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.
