We had a nice relaxing time. Our room was perfectly located. There are bbq pits and dining tables for your convenience or you are right on the beach walk and can walk to a dinner/food location. There was plenty of room on the beach to enjoy and the pool was fun also. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay.
Property was fantastic. Jim was incredibly helpful during booking and with planning our stay. 10/10 amazing

You have to stay here!
This is a great property! Perfect for families or a romantic getaway. Clean, beautiful condo, great lanais, great pool, great hot tub, great beach. You should definitely rent from Jim. He went above and beyond for us to make sure we had the room we wanted. I did not expect this from a VRBO owner. Jim gave us extra info, made great suggestions and took the time to answer every single one of my questions. I would definitely rent from Jim again.

Wonderul, Relaxing, a dream vacation spot!
My family and I go to Maui every year, and every year we rent from Jim. Jim completely takes care of us, reserves one of the best ocean front condos, sends detailed information on what’s new at the Westin Villas and what do, eat and see in Maui. The Westin is beautify, three pools, several dining options, two grocery stores, two gyms and the best customer service. There is also a fee shuttle to Whalers Mall and Lahaina. They really make you feel at home and welcome. My daughter loves the water slide and Koi pond. The condo is within walking dissonance to Dukes, which has the best Mai Tai’s. We will continue to rent from Jim every year as we have had nothing but the best experience!

Toni thanks for the review. I am glad you enjoyed your stay. The condos have recently been updated and the new lounge chair cushions add so much to the comfort around the pool. The addition of sofas by the fire pit is a really nice touch.

This is the last time we stay at a Westin and possibly using VRBO
I am going to give you all the information that we have. On November 5, we made a reservation with one of your homeowners. We booked an Oceanfront, North Villas, Studio with a Whirlpool tub and a Private Lanai at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas. At that time we made the deposit required to reserve the unit. On November 5 we received a confirmation from VRBO that our unit was reserved. On January 25, we made our final deposit for our reservation which was booked from April 30/May 14. On January 25, VRBO sent a confirmation that our last deposit was received. When we arrived at the Westin on the 30th of April we were given an Oceanview studio room in the South Towers, no whirlpool tub and no private lanai. We did contact the homeowner through VRBO and he said that he thought an "oceanview room was better than an island view" and didn't address the fact that we didn't have the whirlpool tub or the private lanai. To say we feel like this is a bait and switch would be putting it mildly. I can't tell you how disappointed we both were. We feel if you can't offer a property as you described it, don't you think you owe the person booking your property the chance to say no by telling them the truth at the time of booking? Give them the opportunity to make the choice if they want a different room than described. Booking six months out, I know even VRBO had other places we could rent that would have suited what we were looking to book. We were not given that opp.

The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resorts is a timeshare property and therefore it operates differently than a home. The Westin allows timeshare owners to reserve in both the North and South towers under 8 months prior to arrival which opens up the opportunity to improve the view category if available.
On November 4, I advised that the North Tower only had a Studio Island View category available and I attached a document showing a map of the view categories in the North Tower and photos from various condos of the views.
Later on November 4, I checked the South Tower and saw that they had a Studio Ocean View category available and advised that the South Tower had an Ocean View Studio available and it is a much better view.
On November 5, they clearly stated in an email that they wanted the "one on the southside with the oceanview" And requested photos. I responded that the actual condo is assigned at check in within the view category by the Westin based on a time stamp of the earliest reservation date and therefore I do not have any photos of the actual view.
If you go to the Vistana (Westin) website view the floorplan for the Studio in the South Tower it shows a Whirlpool tub so I am confused by the statement that it did not have a tub.
As for the Juliet balcony, the Northside has a full Lanai balcony and I made the mistake assuming that an Ocean View with a Juliet balcony where you can see the ocean was better than an Island View with a Lanai where you could be staring at the building next door or over the Lagoon with no view of the ocean. Everyone that has requested a rental has always asked for an Ocean Front or an Ocean View so I always try to provide the best view available.
Perfect stay at the Westin with an amazing ocean front view that totally spoiled us . I wish I could attach a picture it was that beautiful. Jim was extremely helpful and communicative and had great tips for our trip. We will definitely be booking again and I would not hesitate to do so if you are looking to get to Maui. Mahalo Jim we had the best trip ever!
First timers to Maui, we booked through Jim because of his past great reviews. It was important to us to have a room with a great view, so we were sure to book a year in advance because rooms are assigned based on how early you book. We had a top floor ocean front room in building 8 amd it was perfect! The condo was clean and spacious and the balcony view was unbeatable. Check in and out were easy, the resort grounds were gorgeous. Nice pool area and the pool/beach bar was great. Location convenient to everything we wanted to do. 10/10 would book again. Jim is super responsive to messages and provided lots of helpful tips for our stay. This trip to Maui has been our favorite family vacation so far. Mahalo!!
We were at this resort with three separate reservations . this was the only reservation that had ants throughout the suite. We had the exterminator in three times over the course of the week and they weren’t successful in getting rid of them.. Really put a negative tone on our stay..
The location & resort are very nice, the oceanfront view room is great, the beach is not crowded (2nd week of July) & very accessible with snorkeling a couple of fins stroke away. A family week with lifetime memories. We will go back.
This is our favorite resort on Maui! We absolutely love the place and everything available to do. Plus, the location is fantastic!

Thank you Kaitlinn! I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Remember Maui is the Number One destination and the condos book up 8-10 months in advance depending on peak seasons.

Rent From Maui Jim.
Had a great stay At The Westin. We were in building 8, ocean view. Everything was as presented and Jim was extremely helpful. Location is good and not in the center of "Downtown Kaanapali". Lots of families with kids. We visit Maui all the time and will make Jim one of our first calls when we next plan on going.

Aloha, and hope to hear from you in the future, Jim & Jackye

Excellent Vacation spot
We stayed at this Westin condo in May 2013 for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. The studio condo was PLENTY big enough for the two of us and although we booked outside the '8 month limit' the Westin worked with us to get us into a room with ocean view. Clean updated room, very nice pools, and probably some of the best beach on the island. Already trying to plan another trip for next year and would without a doubt come back here.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 March 2020
Patrick, thanks for the great review. Congratulations on your marriage and I was very excited when I called the front desk prior to your arrival that they had scheduled you for an ocean view even though it was under the 8 months+ window that guarantees the view. As a 5 -Star Elite owner they work with me in accommodating such requests. We are glad you enjoyed your honeymoon. Maui is the best!

2013 Stay in Maui
Had the most amazing time in Maui, my condo at the Westin Maui Ocean Resort made the whole vacation even more wonderful! The room, view and amenities are first class. All three restaurants are delicious and convenient. There are three pools and one adult only pool, my daughter took full advantage of the waterslide. I will continue to go through this particular owner for all my Maui stays! Thank you for taking care of our stay at the Westin Maui Ocean Resort, I can’t say enough good things about it!!

Toni, thanks for the great review. It was nice meeting you and your family in Maui, it is unusual to be at the property the same time as our guests. It adds an additional dimension to knowing our guests. We are always willing to answer any questions or email you our updated Tips on Maui document for future visits. Once again, we enjoyed meeting you and enjoy your next Maui vacation.

Dream vacation
We had such an amazing week at the Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas! Jim was a huge help to me from my very first e-mail. I had a lot of questions about the property and the process, and he walked me through everything. He was a huge help in making sure we got the kind of view we wanted, and his recommendations for activities and restaurants were spot-on.
The resort itself was ideal for us. We had an oceanfront 1-bedroom, and I could have spent the week just sitting on the balcony listening to the waves. The unit was spotless and beautiful. We did have one problem with the washer during our stay; the service desk sent someone up to fix it within an hour.
I guess my ultimate recommendation would be this: We are saving up for our next trip to Maui and we hope to rent from Jim again!
Response from VrboOwner on 2 May 2020
Kim, thanks for the great review. I am glad to hear that my recommendations were spot on, after 30 years of visiting Maui the word document I sent you is updated after every visit we make. So even if you don't rent from us again, email me and I will email you the updated document. Thanks again.

Wonderful vacation at the Westin!
We had a great vacation at the Westin. We were there in February 2011 and had a 2 bedroom Oceanfront room. It was myself, my husband, my parents and our two children, ages 1 and 3.5. The rooms were clean, well furnished and outfitted. The Heavenly Beds are awesome! This was our second time staying at a Westin in Maui. During our honeymoon in 2003 we stayed at the Westin Hotel and Spa, which is just down the road from the Villas. We have come to expect a good experience at Westin resorts, and the Villas did not disappoint.
Jim was a pleasure to work, and very honest in our dealings throughout. He always answered my questions promptly and even went the extra mile in sending me travel brochures and his recommendations for Maui (sightseeing tours, eating out, transportation, etc.) Jim and his wife have been travelling to Maui for over 20 years. He knows a lot about the island.
Not every owner of this timeshare who I called was as forthright. I guarantee you that! Some of them gave me a little bit of the runaround. But not Jim.
The kids pool/pirate ship was a huge bonus for us, as our 3 year old could walk around in it and have a blast. It is only 1.5 ft. deep. We also utilized the free crib for our 1 year old. The resort also will bring you a high chair at no cost.
The grounds are meticulously maintained and the beach was no exception. All the staff we encountered were nice and friendly. The Aloha spirit is definitely alive at the Westin Oceanfront Villas!
