A quick note on VRBO and Airnb Kaanapali condos for rent
If you read my informative Maui accommodation guide, then you know that I may use Airbnb as a catch-all for vacation rentals. However, I do prefer VRBO as a booking platform over Airbnb. That’s why this article on Kaanapali rentals links to far more VRBO listings than Airbnb listings.
Kaanapali is West Maui’s most popular resort community. Beautiful beaches, family-friendly hotels, fabulous swimming pools, shops, restaurants, golf resorts, and delightful spas are all part of the fun.
You can learn more about the various things to do in Kaanapali and how to get around Kaanapali in the FAQ section at the end of the post. Alternatively, you can check out my comprehensive overview of all Kaanapali Beach hotels and resorts.
My selection of Kaanapali condo rentals
For every Kaanapali vacation rental in this list, I have added all the essential details you need. This includes the number of rooms, the number of persons it sleeps, the license number, the average cost per night, and parking inclusions. That way you can see at a glance if the condo is spacious enough and fits within your budget.
Every Kaanapali rental in this list links out to the corresponding listing on VRBO or Airbnb. Simply read through the details, check the reviews, and set your preferred dates to get an exact breakdown of the costs. If you still like what you see, you can go ahead and make your online booking.
Now, without further ado, here’s my personal selection of the best condos in Kaanapali Maui.
