“Fabulous” Our family had a fabulous time in Maui. Our condo at kamaole sands couldn't be more perfect. It was right across the beach of some of the most beautiful beaches on Maui. The pool was perfect for small and big kids alike and had places for the adult kiddies too. The condo was complete with anything we needed for our time in Maui. It was very clean and very cozy. Enjoyed many sunsets from our lanai. Judy and bob were a pleasure to work with. Can't wait to go back.

“May never stay in a hotel again” Excellent ocean view. Good location, midway between major towns and popular beaches. Nothing is far away. No hassle rental process. Condo was full of amenities you would never have guessed a vacation rental would have. Very nice modern bathroom and kitchen. They thought of everything! Was literally like home away from home. Was quiet a peaceful everyday and night. Excellent beach short walk away. Watched small fish floating in the reef everyday. Restaurants/bars/shops within walking distant with great views. I am BBQ critic, and Beachbums restaurant had some of the best BBQ ribs I've ever tasted, and portions are huge. Because it was breezy everyday, we didn't have to use the air conditioner. We opened the front door and let the breeze blow through screen door. Free parking space is underground and out of the sun. Excellent rental. Hope to return soon.

“Great Condo, Awesome Location, Terrific Owner!” We rented Jean's 2 bedroom condo in Luana Kai and absolutely loved it! Jean was wonderful to work with, she was so attentive and answered all the questions I had without complaint. Everything described in her ad was as promised or better. When she said that she had all the little things we would need (ie: condiments, cooking spray, beach towels and chairs, coolers, etc...) that was an understatement! The only things you need to bring are your clothes, toiletries and food - every single other thing is there for your use. It's a good thing we arrived late and didn't have time to shop until the next day, as we would have bought a lot of things that Jean already had there. All of the appliances look new and the kitchen has been gorgeously renovated. Jean even thought about the lanai and how to get the best view of the ocean. She has a taller table and chairs outside (taller than the railing), so when you are sitting you can see the ocean perfectly! We so enjoyed looking at the water every morning and every night from that great vantage point. We spoke to a lot of people by the pool and some were not happy with their accommodations in other units. Either they were very dated, or they used the resort cleaning staff (Jean has her own cleaning person who is meticulous!), or their unit was not what was promised. That is not the case here at all, we could not have asked for more. Wanted to mention how great Kihei is too - lots of great stores, a fresh fruit/veggie market just down the road and all kinds of good restaurants if you want to eat out. Tip: Shop at Foodland (ask for their discount card), best prices on the island. We found the produce at Costco to be very disappointing and wished we had just shopped at Foodland in Kihei from the start. We have stayed in Kaanapali before and love Kihei so much more! Thanks Jean for sharing your condo with us, we have given your info to a few friends already and we will definitely be back!

“Wonderful well kept unit with a gorgeous view!” We stayed at Papakea Resort, Unit G-407 in October. My husband and I along with my older son had a great time in Maui. This unit is very close to the ocean front with a full view. We had drinks and many suppers on the Lani, watching the sunsets. G-407 is on the top floor. It has a very nice loft with two single beds or one king bed, along with an additional bathroom which was handy. Nobody was fighting for the showers. The kitchen is fully supplied, with wonderful cutlery, pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, coffee maker and many other things that most vacation rentals don't have. They also had body surf boards, umbrellas and beach towels. This unit was recommended to us by a friend. I would highly recommend it to anybody. We were in Maui for a wedding and everybody that came to our unit loved it. Upon arrival it was very clean. Parking is also convenient with an easy check in procedure. This is where I am hopefully staying every time we come to Maui.

“Perfect! You cannot beat this view...” We absolutely loved our stay here. It was the perfect location - right on the ocean and so close to everything! The view was amazing. The condo is well stocked and the owners are often on site. We met them while we were down there and they were very nice and extremely helpful (our shower rod broke and they replaced it right away). The unit is very clean, the bed super comfortable and you cannot beat the view! We fell asleep each night to the lapping of the waves. I would highly recommend this property as your home base in paradise.

“Lovely condo and wonderful vacation” My husband and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with a 2 week trip to Hawaii. We stayed at this lovely condo for the last 6 days of our 14 day stay. It was just as it was described and pictured in the website, very comfortable and a nice change after 8 days of hotels. There is a beautiful view and we ate many meals on the lanai. The owners provided lots of great suggestions and the wifi in the condo was great, so we could use our iPad to discover other local gems. The location on the west side of Maui is near many wonderful snorkeling sites, and snorkeling became our favorite outing of the trip. The beach towels and chairs also added to our comfort and enjoyment of the beaches.

“Our Second Visit, can't Wait for the Third!!!” This was our second visit to this wonderful condo in less than two years. For us, it is the best location to stay on the island. The condo had been updated with new furniture and appliances since our first visit, which was a real nice surprise. There are many amenities in and around the condo. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. We just stopped by the grocery store on the way in from the airport for our food. We also took advantage of the many casual and finer dinning options, many within walking distance. There is a/C, but we never turned it on. The 2 ceiling fans were all we needed. The photos on this site are accurate, and we have been so pleased with this Maui Banyan condo, that we now want to go back twice a year, but unfortunately we can only go every year and a half or so. We have already planned for our next visit in 2013. Some people may like a resort, but for us, the comfort and cosy intimacy of your own place on Maui makes the visit there, so much more enjoyable and memorable.

“Restful lovely Condo with amazing views!” We just left this super destination at the Kapalua Golf Villas and it was everything we hoped for. The kitchen was so well appointed and their was virtually everything we needed within walking distance to make our vacation complete. The unit itself is truly comfy and was everything we hoped for - Great Furnishings, Spacious living areas, The cabinetry in the kitchen and dining room was gorgeous, The bathrooms were large and showers huge! There were large washers and dryers and plenty of towels and outdoor patio furniture as well. They have thought of everything with boogie boards and beach items to play with. The outdoor areas were also very inviting and large with such a picturesque setting. One thing I wished they would have had and it is such a small thing is robes in the rooms (bulky to pack) and possibly filters for the coffee maker...As you can see we were definitely very pleased! We would most definitely absolutely come back and highly recommend it! This so beats staying at a hotel even if it is right on the ocean front. We had room as a family with 4 adult children to all sleep comfortably and take showers and just lounge wherever. The weather was not ideal so this became quite important to us. Our extended family was in other settings which they paid similar amounts for and although were right on the water had a simple one room place with not nearly as nice an appointed place. We travel quite often and so far this year have been to Bali, Sweden, Copenhagen, Singapore, Tahoe and Miami so we sort of feel like we know a travel value when we have one! The whole complex is just beautiful with walking trails and biking areas and rolling hills and four pools. It is truly a fabulous getaway destination for a family or group!

“Had everything we needed!” The 2bed/2bath condo in Maui Vista was lovely! The place was spotless, and the kitchen was organized and stocked with every kind of ware you might need for cooking, grilling, storing leftovers, etc. It seemed every time we needed something ("I could really use a paper towel, ziplock bag, tin foil, ice cream scoop,..."), we'd find it there! No need to constantly run to the store. The location was perfect for us - across the street from a fantastic, uncrowded beach and about a mile away from what is, in our opinion, the best restaurant in Kihei (Cuatro). If I have a chance to return to Maui, I'd absolutely book this place again!

“The best condo on Kaanapali Beach” We just returned from a 7 night stay in Condo 802 at The Whaler. The condo and the amenities were everything I expected, and I was expecting the best . I looked at so many places in Maui before I booked 802. JaNell and Simon have provided so many amenities for their guests. The condo looks exactly like the photographs on their website, and it is in the most desirable location of Ka'anapali Beach. The beach has no rocks so it is easy to walk into the water to swim. It is right next to the Whalers Village shopping and restaurants, and close to other hotels for visits to their restaurants and bars. JaNell is very easy to contact, and very helpful. The views from this corner unit are gorgeous, and the Maui sunsets are spectacular. If I get the chance to go back to Maui again, I would definitely stay at JaNell and Simon's condo, but I would go when the whales are migrating because I am sure that I could see them from the lanai !!!

“Near the action yet quiet.” It was a short walk to a beautiful beach and quite a lot of traffic before there but the condo was quiet with the sounds of birds and a cool breeze passing through so AC wasn't needed even in the heat of summer.
