Ocean Views, Private Pool & Spa, Steps to Kaanapali Beach – Your Maui Paradise Awaits

E komo mai (welcome) to your island sanctuary, where the beauty of Maui and the spirit of aloha surround you. Wake to mesmerizing nānā (views) of the moana (ocean), with Lanai and Molokai gracing the horizon, and spend your days lounging by your private pool, soaking in the heated spa, or taking a short poholo (stroll) to Kaanapali Beach and Whalers Village. Breathe in the sweet scent of plumeria as you relax on the lanai, or gather with your ʻohana (family) in the fully equipped kuke (kitchen) to share laughter and meals. Every corner of this luxurious hale (home) is thoughtfully designed to cradle you in comfort, from spacious bedrooms to modern amenities like snorkel gear, boogie boards, and toys for the keiki (children). Whether snorkeling vibrant reefs, exploring lush trails, or savoring fiery sunsets, this is where Maui dreams come true.

Features Designed to Inspire Aloha:

Breathtaking Nāna (Views): Step onto your expansive lanai and let the world melt away. Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin as you gaze across the turquoise moana (ocean) to the majestic islands of Lanai and Molokai, framed by fiery sunsets and endless skies. This is your daily postcard come to life.

Private Pool & Heated Spa: Float in the cool, refreshing waters of your own pool or sink into the warm embrace of the spa. Surrounded by swaying palms and the sweet scent of plumeria, this is where relaxation finds you.

Four Spacious Bedrooms:
• A master sanctuary with a plush King bed and stunning sunrise nānā of the ocean—a gentle wake-up gift each day.
• A versatile guest suite, offering both a Queen bed and twin beds, ideal for accommodating your ʻohana (family).
• A cozy retreat with a Queen bed, perfect for restful hiamoe (sleep) after a day of adventure.
• A welcoming fourth bedroom, providing comfort and privacy for everyone.
Three Thoughtfully Designed Bathrooms: Including a newly updated lower-level bath, ensuring every guest feels at home and cared for.

Gourmet Kuke (Kitchen): Fully stocked and modern, this kitchen invites you to savor the joy of preparing meals with fresh, local ingredients. Every dish feels like a celebration of the island's flavors.

Effortless Comfort: Stay cool with central A/C, enjoy high-speed internet, and unwind with LCD TVs for movie nights or quiet afternoons indoors.

Adventure at Your Fingertips: From snorkel gear and boogie boards to golf clubs and keiki (children's) toys, everything you need for unforgettable Maui adventures is ready and waiting for you.

Outdoor Bliss: Start your mornings with coffee on the lanai, sharing the dawn with ocean breezes. End your day with sunset cocktails as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors, surrounded by lush, tropical beauty.

The Best of Kaanapali at Your Doorstep: Resort Amenities
• Unbeatable Location: Nestled in the exclusive Kaanapali Vista community, this retreat is just a short poholo (stroll) to Whalers Village, where boutique shops, oceanfront dining, and the vibrant energy of Dig Me Beach await.
• World-Famous Beaches: Feel the golden sands of Kaanapali Beach under your feet as gentle waves invite you to snorkel, paddleboard, or simply soak in the warm Hawaiian sun.
• Recreation at Every Turn: From the renowned Kaanapali Golf Courses to scenic hikes and Maui's iconic attractions, every day offers something new to discover.
• Convenience Meets Charm: Stock up on fresh, local goods at nearby grocery stores or treat yourself to ono (delicious) island favorites at quaint coffee shops and eateries.
• Tranquil Surroundings: Immerse yourself in the lush, vibrant landscape of the resort, where native Hawaiian flora, gentle trade winds, and a deep sense of aloha create a haven for your soul.

Where Aloha Lives and Memories Last Forever
Holomakani Retreat is more than a vacation home—it's a place where time slows, memories deepen, and the magic of Maui becomes your own. Whether you're lounging by the pool, exploring golden beaches, or sharing stories under the stars, you'll find your heart forever tied to this beautiful hale (home).
Come, feel the warmth of aloha. Create moments that will live with you long after the last sunset. Holomakani Retreat is waiting to welcome you. 🌺 A hui hou (until we meet again).

Note: Ideal for families, its layout might not suit multiple couples.

Comfortable vacation home for family trip
This house was very comfortable for our family vacation including 3 couples and one toddler. It was the perfect size space for us. The house was clean and as pictured/advertised. The location was nice, about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach, and we had enjoyed using the boogie boards and other beach toys.

Perfect Family Home
What a wonderful home. Everything we needed for our family of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). We all loved the pool and hot tub; grandkids spent hours in there!! Perfect location. We walked to Whaler’s Village; close to Kaanapali and easy drive to Lahaina!! Bruce was easy to get ahold of if we had a question or needed something. Perfect family vacation.

Perfect location
This house was just right for three couples. Plenty of room to spread out and lots of space to gather together. Location was central to all activities we had planned. The host, Bruce, was very nice and gave good instructions. The house was well equipped with beach items and the neighborhoods was very nice.

Great location for family reunion
This house is well located just across the street from the Kanaapili resort area and only 10 minutes to Lahaina. It is a great place for a larger group, with two master suites (one of which is a two room suite) and a smaller bedroom. The kitchen is large enough for a group to cook dinners in comfort and there is both a large living room upstairs and a small one downstairs. We spent most of our time on the lanai, marveling at the beautiful view over to Molokai.

Great Location
We enjoyed our stay. The property is located in a great area. The pool and spa were great. The spa programs took a few minutes to figure out but were worth the effort. We really enjoyed the spacious common rooms upstairs and the screened porch. The basement bedrooms could use a little updating but the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. We had an issue with the washing machine but were still able to use it with small loads. In all, we thought it had charm and good usable space for our family.

Maui VRBO
We really enjoyed the home we stayed in on Maui. It would have been a 5 star if they had finished the pool and spa in time for our family to use it. It was close to being finished. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood and had fantastic ocean views. It had lots of furnished upstairs dining and viewing areas which were awesome. Once the pool and spa are ready we will request this VRBO again. Also, it's practically on a beautiful golf course. It was stocked with lots of in door games and out door toys. It was close to Whaler's Village, which was great!

Maui Charm
This house is pure Maui charm. It is an older house, but it is clean, well stocked, close to everything and has a pool. We have 7-people and an 18-month old baby with us. We absolutely loved the place. The owner, Lee, is very responsive if you have any questions or an issue. We did have a plumbing issue and notify the owner. Someone was there within an hour and fixed the issue. The house was a great place to use as our home base for this vacation. We would definitely rent it again!

Absolutely perfect - exactly what a rental should be
The location of the house is super convenient and central as we were a few minute drive from Front St, the Kaanapali and Napili Beach Resorts. The house was absolutely spotless and we immediately felt comfortable in the house. Bruce insisted on doing a walk through of the house upon our arrival and it proved instrumental in helping us quickly adjust to this house. We made use of all the items included with the rental from the beach equipment to the BBQ. If we had more time, we might have even played a round of golf. My family had a great time and we'd love to stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Kaanapali rental
Pros: Comfortable home with panoramic view of Lanai, some ocean and beautiful sunsets. Situated close to Kaanapali resort and Whaler's village. Owner responded promptly to questions and problems. Lots of beach toys for the children. Beds were very comfortable. Cons: advertised swimming pool was being redone and not functional. Owner did reimburse some of rental fee due to said absence. One good beach chair and others were pretty beat up. Cockroaches in ground level living areas.

Great location, nice kitchen and dining area, and nice privacy between Master up and 3 rooms down. BIG BUT, the upstairs cooling is a real problem even with the 3rd window AC installed in the dining room. Old portable fans inoperative and BBQ totally rusted away needs to be sent to the landfill. Would not return until central air was installed.

Great for families looking to be close to resorts
This is a delightfully quirky house just 5 min from Ka'anaplai beach. There is plenty of space (3 bathrooms came in really handy) and we liked eating out on the Lanai. Kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of beach toys and snorkel gear there to use. Owner was super responsive, though we had no problems or complaints. There is a 70s vibe to the house that I found charming and while it wasn't a fancy place, it was very clean and we slept like babies. There were 2 queens, 2 twins, and 1 king bed. Plus plenty of couches and TVs in multiple places. We wanted to be close to resort-ville b/c we had family staying there, but we wanted to save $ cooking and have more space than hotel rooms provide. This was the perfect middle ground. Would rent here again and recommend it.

April Stay at Kannapali Vista Home
Five of us shared this home on a recent trip to Maui for a friend's wedding, and we all really enjoyed our stay. If you are planning on staying in the Kaanapali area the location is excellent. Most of the wedding party was staying at the hotel resorts in Kannapali, and we found most of them just a quick 10 to 15 minute walk away. The beach is also only a 10 to 15 minute walk. We really enjoyed the size and the layout of the house. It was clean, and stocked with essentials like extra towels, toiletries, cookware, etc. Bruce was really helpful walking us through the house over the phone when we arrived, and although nothing came up it seemed he'd be ready and willing to help if it did. The home has a wonderful balcony off the living room that points out towards the water that we enjoyed hanging out on quite a bit. Overall we had a great stay; good location, large, clean, with a friendly owner. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of rental.

Big Ol' Kaanapali House
This house had plenty of room to fit 8 people (4 couples) and a 2yo comfortably. It was great having 3 full baths. We found ourselves lounging out on the lanai a lot, which has a big table and some comfy chairs - great for having a local Maui beer and staring over the palm trees to the ocean in the distance. The location is also really convenient. 5min drive to Whaler's Village. 10min drive to Lahaina. 15min walk to Kanaapali Beach. Safeway and Foodland nearby. Close to the fun but sitting on a quiet cul-de-sac with a driveway that easily fits two cars. Several beach chairs provided. Boogie boards. Some snorkeling fins. Inflatable tubes. Beach toys for kids. Plenty of beach towels. I think it's a great house for a laid back group. It's definitely not resort quality accommodations, but it has a very Hawaii feel and I think you'd have a hard time finding a better value.

100 degree vacation
Nice location & big enough for my family of 6. The wall air conditioning units do not cool off the living area & kitchen upstairs. The one in the master bedroom does not work properly and it's the whole living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom are unbearable from 11am to about 5pm. There's an ant problem so no food can be left on counters which defeats purpose of renting a house. The house is not really clean - one of my daughter's dropped her brush behind a dresser & when retrieving it, it was so dusty and full of cob webs and she saw someone's hair roller. Also a trail of ants on the floorboards. It is cooler downstairs but there is a musty smell. Definitely not seeing the cleaning fee being utilized to clean the house. The ceiling fans are off balance when turned to high which you need in the heat. The sprinklers hitting the bedroom windows at 6am and wake the occupants of those bedrooms. The house has great possibilities but just not seeing the pride of ownership. Again, with a family of 6, we really needed to be able to cook in the kitchen more. The vent over the stove does not work either. The house is in walking distance to places to eat and beach.
