Need Condo rental suggestions for WEST Maui (kaanapali, Kahana area)

We are looking to rent either a studio or 1 bedroom condo ( we need a kitchen)the end of September and there are SO many to choose from I was hoping to get some positive suggestions or even someone who wants to rent to us! We are trying to stay under $130/night for 10 nights. There are plenty for rent in this price range (and less) since it is value season. Thanks for your help!

I stayed every year for years at Napili Point. The condos are privately owned but there is a manager on site. I can't remember the number of the condo we loved but do some research, some are better kept up than others. I think any condo on Napili Bay is the best area.

We stayed at the Kaanapali Royal last May. We rented through VRBO. It's up the hill from Kaanapali Beach on the golf course. It was great!

This is where we stayed. It's a 2 bed/2 bath condo, but there are one bedroom condos in the complex.

The owner was great and very responsive to emails.

We stayed in this $120/night studio in Kahana last January. Very nice condo with incredible views. You can't stay any closer to the water than this unit is. (without getting wet) We rented directly from the owner and she was great to deal with.

Thanks for the responses - I have narrowed it down to 3 different properties - Kaanapali shores, Papakea reort and the Pohailani - anyone stayed at any of these??

If you are still taking suggestions we stayed at the Mahana in 307 rented off VRBO, were sooooo happy. Sitting on the balcony watching the whales, drinking mai tais, watching the people on the beach. Condo had everything one should need. Would definitely stay there again.
Happy travels

Have you tried tripadvisor? You can get some timely reviews on those properties. I think you will have a great time in each place you listed. Choose kahana if you want a quieter smaller beach, or Kaanapali if you want some more action. Both locations are excellent.

Hi
We just got back from Kahana from a studio vacation rental at 201 Pohailani. The price was very low and the condo was ocean front so the view was a million dollar view. The Pohailani is a boutique ocean front resort ( about 20 studios ) it is located close to all the major attractions in West Maui. We highly recommend it for the price and the view.
