Description

Direct Ocean Front Condo on Famed Ka’anapali Beach!

Many units at Ka’anapali Shores Resort claim to be ocean front. None are as close to the ocean as ground-floor unit 161! The only things separating you from Ka’anapali Beach are floor to ceiling windows and your own private lawn furnished with lounge chairs and outdoor dining table on a covered lanai! Imagine enjoying beautiful unobstructed views of Molokai, Lanai and Hawaiian sunsets all vacation long!

Unit 161 is a 2 BD/2BA (approximately 1,000 sq ft), air-conditioned unit and can comfortably sleep 6. The master bedroom has a King bed, an en-suite bathroom, and ocean views. The second bedroom is furnished with 2 twin beds (that can be made into a king). When not being used for family TV viewing, the large sectional in the living room pulls out to sleep 2.

The recently remolded kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and is separated to the living/dining area by an eat-in bar. This non-smoking unit has a washer/dryer and tile throughout with carpeting in both bedrooms. The condo is tastefully decorated in traditional Hawaiian décor.

Pacific Business News just ranked the Ka'anapali Shores Resort & the Ritz Carlton tied for the 8th best resort on the whole island! Ka’anapali Shores Resort really is full service with numerous amenities located on the lush tropically landscaped grounds. With 2 heated pools, 2 hot tubs, restaurants, shopping, year-round children’s program, gym and salon you may never need to leave the resort or rent a car! Many other shops and restaurants including a grocery store are located just across the street. Parking is available for $9/day. Lahaina town is only 5 miles away.

We recently stayed in unit 161 for 13 days and we had the best time! This was our first time staying at Kaanapali Shores and we were pleasantly surprised! We loved that they had a bar with drinks and food - it took the stress out of cooking dinner a couple of nights. We also liked the live music the restaurant had a few of the nights - it made hanging out by the pool and watching the sunset extra special! The pool areas were fun with a good amount of kids for my kids to play with. The beach that is right outside of the unit is a decent beach too! Our first day my husband and kids went snorkeling and saw a turtle and rode some waves. We also collected shells and took a few good walks on the beach and beach path. The unit itself was very nice and well furnished. The best part about the unit is the view - it’s gorgeous and there is nothing better than starting your day with that view! You do get some foot traffic from being a ground floor unit and there’s a beach walking bath right there, but that is to be expected from a ground floor unit. The one easy fix that would be nice to do is connect the sectional pieces together so you can sit on the couch without it sliding all apart-it was impossible to keep the couch together -

We will for sure be back! Thank you for an awesome vacation!

Gorgeous views, easy access in and out to the beach, pool, you name it! Parking was very simple as well, as you can park right next to the unit. We will look to stay in this very unit each time we head back to Maui.

I read a review on this property before we visited. It said that they did not want to tell everyone just how wonderful this unit is. Now I understand what they meant. If everyone knew about it, everyone would rent it out from under us. We arrived at night so we had no idea what we were in for on our first morning. How about a double rainbow over a perfect ocean with an island at either end. Right outside your lanai door. As people walk by on the pathway, they wave and say how nice our lanai is. Once a young girl, maybe 7, said "Mom, they have a nice apartment." Yeah, even kids can tell. To say we loved this unit is a given. I would love to own and live in this unit. We will be back to visit in the future. I wish it was tomorrow! Until we meet again! Aloha from Alaska! (Unit 161, ocean facing, left wing of resort)

This location could not have been more ideal for our family of four. Having the lawn for our young kids to run around on, while we could sit on the lanai and watch them AND the view, was perfect. The unit itself had the great space and enough kitchen tools for us to easily cook and eat at home often. The kids absolutely loved the kid-friendly pool as well with it's multi-level entry points (including a nice 9 inch section for our toddler) and water features. We often hit a beach in the morning and then popped over to the pool in the afternoon. The lawn games were a fun bonus too! We felt incredible lucky to have snagged this spot and would highly recommend it (although we don't want too many people to discover it, we need it to be available for a future visit, haha!)

Perfect condo for our large family. Being on the ground floor with access from our patio to the pool or ocean was a HUGE plus ++++ Easy check in check out process, condo was clean and had plenty of supplies. A few maintenance issues that could use some cleaning up but otherwise a very enjoyable stay. Would definitely return :)

We felt this location was wonderful. The home was clean upon arrival. One thing helpful would be a book to reference, such as remotes for lights and fans, where to dump garbage and a reference of numbers to call Incase of problems.
Management staff could follow up better. We had a few things that came up, my husband had to re contact a second time in each incident. It was taken care of on second call.

We enjoyed our 8-day stay at Kaanapali Shores - the location was amazing, and we could step right out onto the beach from our Lanai, and watch the whales frolic off in the distance. The unit was clean and in good condition with the expected amenities. We enjoyed our time there very much - thank you!

This unit has it all. Right on the waterfront with beautiful ocean views. You can sit and watch the whales breaching and the sunsets are gorgeous. The unit was clean, had all the emenities for cooking, cleaning, and had beach accessories for use like chairs, boogie boards, beach towels and a beach umbrella. We left a cooler, some beach toys, and some spices, cups, paper towels etc. the unit itself is clean and very spacious. You cannot beat the ground floor as you walk around the corner to the pools for very easy access. Two big pools and chairs everywhere. The dood is good and you can rent anything you need for the beach.

By the way, there is no beach in front of the room, it washes away in the winter and comes back in the summer so we were told. Also, they do yoga right next to the room at 7:00am so be aware of people talking at that time in the morning.

Awesome place to stay and hang out. Grocery store close, Lahiana is 10 minutes away. I recommend staying here. We had 2 adults and 2 adult kids.

We loved our stay at Kaanapali Shores! This unit is right on the beach, but close to the pool. We loved being able to wake up and have our coffee on the patio and see the ocean and also have the best sunset view on the patio!

Pros: The condo was very nice, with a fantastic sunset Maui view. The king bed was comfortable, as were the livingroom sofas. The kitchen was nicely stocked with cookware. The big pool is very nice, although there are often a lot of children there. It was great to have a washer/dryer during our weeklong stay.
Cons: The beds in the second bedroom were very firm. There is not a big stretch of beach right out front, but nearby. We had some trouble with drains clogging in the kitchen and master shower. The bathroom rug in the master needs to be replaced, as it has stains. There are also small stains on the carpet in the master. The hairdryer on the wall is broken, and has a sticker on it that says broken. It wasn't until our 4th day that I found a separate hairdryer in one of the bathroom drawers.

Awesome rental, clean, offered many beach toys/chairs, PRIME location, simply amazing, and perfect for my family of 4! Only negative- we were told we had a free concierge to help us out with anything, called twice and left messages but never heard back. Not a big deal, we resolved our question through google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor, but it would've been nice to have a local's opinion. Didn't alter our trip at all though. Overall - we will definitely be staying in #161 again!!

What a wonderful condo in a wonderful resort! Our family of four loved this place and it’s location. Kaanapali Shores has all the amenities of a larger resort, but is relaxed and unpretentious; perfect for families! For those wondering, the condo comes supplied with hotel size shampoo, conditioner and soap, but you will need to buy coffee at Costco or Safeway before arriving. Bath towels are nice and fluffy. Parking is very convenient to the condo. While we were here in August, there was enough beach to swim, sunbathe and snorkel, but as others have said, there are many larger beaches nearby as well. There is plenty of beach toys and gear provided in the unit and they also rent other gear on-site. You will not regret renting this property!

We gave 5 stars, but please read the caution below so that you are aware and fully informed.
Oceanfront with beautiful panoramic view of the sunset! The furnishings were tasteful and comfortable. The kitchen was clean and well stocked with dishes, pots & pans. My husband loved the new coffee maker so much, that Santa gave him the same model for Christmas. All of the beds were very comfortable. There was an abundance of towels. One closet even had a high chair, which was very helpful for our granddaughter, two buckets of beach toys, and several boogie boards. We gratefully used them all.
Now the caution: As you can see from the photo there is a good sized lanai with newer patio furniture, then some grassy space, then the ocean backed by a beautiful sunset. Between "our" grass and the beach is a 5-6 foot wide walkway that is a public walking path across the entire beachfront of this very large resort, Aston Kaanapali Shores, a NON_SMOKING RESORT.
But 25-50 people each day lit up their cigs right in front of our unit, which is the southernmost unit in the resort. Why? Because they were 20 feet away from the property line of the resort. Smoking is against the law on beaches in Hawaii so they were not smoking on the beach. Smokers congregated all day and night within 20 feet of our unit. The smokers even used a Memorial Bench & planter for smoking & leaving their butts. It was very distracting and stinky.
When we informed the resort, they offered to send security to the area. They even had maintenance men pick up the butts. They said they inform every guest about the location of 2 designated smoking areas. Next to our condo was NOT one of them.
They suggested I let the condominium owners know how unpleasant and constant the smoking was, so the owners could complain to their Homeowners Association. The least that can be done is to put up more NO SMOKING signs.
The question is-Would smoking bother you while you are enjoyi

Our experience was amazing. We brought our 3 children and the location was perfect for us. We sat on our lanai and watched the whales while the kids played on the beach. Would recommend this unit to others.

Very much enjoyed our 8 nights in Unit 161. This was our first time staying in a condo, usually stay at large hotel resorts and have to book two rooms. It was a nice change with plenty of space for our family of six. We were concerned about the pullout sofa bed but it was a foam mattress and had no complaints from our kids who usually fight over the beds. The condo could use some updating but still nice. The view definitely made up for it! We loved morning coffee on the lanai, whale watching, and the sunsets were amazing. There was something special about being on the ground level. Also, being so close to water meant hearing the waves crashing at night -better than a sound machine. The kids enjoyed the pools and lawn games. We stayed in late Dec and tide was high so very little beach in front. Not a big deal though as we drove to different local beaches for snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding and cliff jumping. Someone complained about the parking lot being close but we thought that was a big plus as we ventured out a lot. There were some extras in the closet including games, sand toys and chairs which came in handy. Had a wonderful week and hope to be back!

When we first saw this rental online, we were very excited. Upon our arrival, it was spectacular with refreshing scenery and friendly neighbors. The unit was very close to the ocean and in this case, you get exactly what you see in the pictures! A+++
