Our Little Grass Shack at Kaanapali Villas

Welcome to your Maui home away from home! Our family-owned and operated condos have been lovingly cared for by our ohana for over 50 years. We personally live on island and treat each unit with the same attention, care, and aloha we give our own home. Staying here means you’re not just renting a condo—you’re being welcomed into our family’s place on Maui.

Step into paradise! Our bright corner studio at Maui Kaanapali Villas is just a 3 minute garden stroll from the beach, pools, and Castaway Café. Snorkel, sun, relax—and let our little grass shack be your Maui escape.

*About the Property*
Welcome to your Maui retreat! Our ground-floor corner studio at Maui Kaanapali Villas is light, bright, and decorated in the relaxed style of Old Hawaii with modern touches. Nestled on 11 acres of lush tropical gardens along Kaanapali Beach, this private unit puts you just steps away from the ocean, pools, dining, and resort amenities.

*Location Highlights*
-Serene beachfront setting – our location north of Black Rock means you’ll enjoy a quieter, more relaxed stretch of Kaanapali Beach without the tourist crowds, while still having the perks of a resort beach (chairs, snorkeling, easy ocean access).
-Fantastic snorkeling & swimming – calm waters and reef right out front.
-World-class golf nearby – just minutes away is the legendary Kāʻanapali Golf Courses, offering two 18-hole courses—the Royal and the more forgiving Kai—with ocean and island views that delight both serious players and casual golfers.
-Direct access to Beach – world-class snorkeling, swimming, paddle boarding, sailing, and diving right in front.
-Castaway Café – oceanfront dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps away.
-Free Kaanapali Trolley – ride to Whalers Village for restaurants, shops, art galleries, and nightlife.
-Adventure nearby – whale watching, sunset sailboat cruises, zipline tours, off-roading, and diving.

Fantastic stay at a lovely property

I’ve been to Maui Kaanapali Villas before and always had a good experience, but I have to say, this stay was the best of them. I love MKV for its great beach and quiet, low-key energy. The condo is beautiful, exactly as advertised, very comfortable, clean, and wonderfully accessible on the ground floor. On top of it, I have to give extra recognition to Jeanne for being such a fantastic host: her communication is great, and she clearly works hard to make sure her guests have a good experience. I have a disability, and she went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that my accessibility needs and questions were addressed, provided extra linens and towels, so I could make fewer trips to the laundry, and I can’t express how much that level of courtesy and consideration increases your comfort for a trip as a whole when you struggle with a disability. If you’re considering booking this listing, just know that you’ll be getting the best version of what you hope you’ll be getting, and I know, next time I come back to Maui, I won’t be searching for an alternative – I’ll be booking here straight away.

Kaanapali heaven

This condo is only steps to North Kaanapali beaches and has great snorkeling with fish and turtles, swimming, beach walks, and wonderful views of offshore islands. It’s heaven to stay here, and Jeanne is a delightful host, very friendly and accessible, and she gave us a gift basket of goodies and orchids all around, even a lei. You can swim in the pools, play shuffleboard, cook your own food or eat at Castaways restaurant. I started each day by walking the tranquil beach at dawn, and spent more days on the beach. Lots of aloha spirit here! Diane and Jim from Colorado

An Absolutely Delightful Stay!

Pictures don't do this awesome studio justice! The space was perfect for the two of us. A very comfy king bed, ample size dining room, large bathroom with separate tub/shower. Loved the location - steps away from the smaller pool and very close to the larger one. Hot tubs at both were amazing. Beach is steps away from the larger pool and sunset was gorgeous with chaise loungers on the grace right by the sand beach. Jeanne was awesome! The special touches in the unit were too numerous to mention! We loved it and will be back!

The condo was absolutely beautiful, and the owner left a lovely gift basket with wine, chocolate macadamia nuts, Maui coffee, and other island delights. We cooked breakfast, lunch, and even a few dinners in the well-equipped kitchen, and we also enjoyed the wagon full of beach supplies.
