A week stay

Great stay, perfect for a couples get away. Better ocean peekaboo view than expected can hear the ocean too. No road noise. Comfy bed, kitchen stocked well and use of chairs cooler and boogie boards in the closet. Therese was very accommodating. Pool areas were fantastic with a small beach at low tide to sit on. Saw the whales splashing in front of resort last day here

Perfect Place for a Hiking Couple

If you're a couple on the move and need somewhere to stay that's quiet, clean, and comfortable, you can't beat this VRBO. Our host was so awesome and took great care of us. This was one of the best stocked vacation rentals we've ever had. I can't say enough good things about it.

Feels like our second home

As always we have a great time in Maui, we’ve stayed in this same unit for many, many years. We like it so much we have already reserved it for 2025. The owner, Threse always make us feel like we are one of the family. Unit is always kept very clean with updated appliances and furnishings. Looking forward to next year.

Amazing Host!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience here. Therese was so helpful and checked on us to make sure everything was ok. The property is clean and pretty. Just a few minutes walk down to the properties private beach made it even more amazing. We watched the sunrise and set each day. Highly recommend Therese and her beautiful property. Thank you so much Therese!

Great Property in a great location

We loved Therese’s unit! It’s at a resort that has all the amenities and beach access. If you can’t justify paying the expensive resort prices, then I definitely recommend this place as something a lot more affordable. Perfect for two people. The only issue we had is the WiFi didn’t work great and the air was a little slow to start on the first day, but it worked fine after that. Therese was very responsive whenever we messaged her and very willing to help. 10/10 stay experience and can’t wait to come back!

Fully equipped with everything you’d need - beach chairs, beach towels, everything provided to cook, shower stuff, plenty of towels.

Great Condo

Our experience with this Condo and Owner was excellent. The condo was a perfect size for the two of us. The king size bed was amazing with lots of comfortable pillows. Therese was very easy to contact on a few items and replied instantly. Great location and walking paths for miles. The beach was perfect, Sandy and not to deep for swimming. We were in the Ocean everyday. Thanks Michele

Our favorite place to stay

Over that past many years we have stayed in this unit and other units as availability permits at the Kaanapalli Shores. We have to say that with the newest owner Therese is the best host we've experienced. The personalization Therese has added as an owner during the reservation process and checking in with us during our 2 week stay to insure everything is satisfactory, asking what can she do to assist us, is refreshing from the past of here's the keys and check out is.... The unit it self is in tip top condition from the carpeting cleanliness, a very comfortable bed and bedding. We felt the kitchen utensils, pots and pans have been brought up to what we've missed in the past. If you are looking for a great location on Maui this Aston Resort in Kaanapalli has one of the best facilities for families or just for a couple wanting to get away and relax. We'e already made our annual 2 week reservation for 2024 and expect to continue to make this our Maui get away on into the future.

Made a Mistake on this one!

The property is outdated, poorly built (stove/oven isn't fully attached), balcony looks right into the maintenance area behind the main hotel piece and is constant noise of the workers and the greeting we received was so poor and unwelcoming. Because we were in an owner room, they treated us like second class citizens. Wouldn't let me use a cart to take luggage and groceries to the room. There also was no instructions on how to use the T.V. system which required 2 remotes and it took 3 days to solve that issue.

Nice stay

This property is confusing, as all of the even numbered units are on one end and the odd numbered on the other. After we figured that all out, it was good. The unit is small but, nice and clean. The only bad thing I have to say is that the bed pillows really need to be replaced, they are awful. There is one restaurant on site, food is ok, Mai tai’s are very yummy and there is a beautiful beach to watch the sunset and see whales, if you’re lucky!!

Active construction going on

We like the property and would return. Unfortunately, there was major construction taking place in the units near us that created a constant grinding noise (significant) from approx. 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It was too loud to hang out during that time in the unit, particularly on the balcony, however, we were more than happy to hang out at the pools and beach! We know these things cannot be avoided, however, we were unaware of this issue until we arrived and experienced it. Unit was very comfortable for a studio.

This was awesome!

The studio unit was perfect for two! Everything was recently updated and is well appointed. Carpet, tile work in the kitchen and bath, the bedding and artwork, furniture and supplies were excellent. The owner is gracious, and very easy to work with! At check-in, when I have trouble with my phone and accessing Our records, she came to our rescue very quickly and graciously. The resort itself is very well-kept. Staff is very gracious and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again! A couple side notes to prepare renters, there’s a daily parking fee that you pay at check-in and a resort fee of $15 to use the gym - per day. There are a few local gyms as well that charge $20-$25 per day. The hotel Jim is small but it has some machines and free weights. The only addition I would make to a studio unit would be a little patio table and chairs to have a morning coffee outside. Definitely not a dealbreaker for us as we were constantly on the run seeing the island. Again, over-the-top! We will definitely return, And 1 million thanks Therese, for your grace and help at check-in! We had a wonderful time! Thank you!
