IGNORE CALENDER. PLEASE AT LEAST READ THE FIRST 4 OR 5 PARAGRAPHS!!

DO NOT MAKE A BOOKING REQUEST FOR ANY DATES.

THIS IS BECAUSE THIS IS A TIMESHARE RESORT.

I SAY AGAIN, "DO NOT MAKE A BOOKING REQUEST FOR ANY DATES."!!
PLEASE ASK ME FIRST, OTHER WISE VRBO PENALIZES ME IF I HAVE TO DECLINE YOUR REQUEST.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BOOKING. SEND ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL CHECK YOUR DATES AND GIVE YOU A QUOTE.

CANCELLATION POLICY VARIES PER RESERVATION, SOME ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, MOST ARE REFUNDABLE.

I CAN ACCOMMODATE REQUESTS FOR ANY NUMBER OF NIGHTS BUT BOOKINGS FOR A 7 NIGHT STAY HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING FILLED.

UNDERGROUND PARKING IS FREE WHEN YOU RENT FROM ME AND SO IS HIGH SPEED WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS! Ka'anapali Beach Club charges a $29.00 per day resort fee to cover parking, and other various miscellaneous amenities, HOWEVER THIS IS WAIVED WHEN YOU RENT FROM ME!! There is a charge for an accommodation tax of approximately $16 per day that the resort collects. There are also other miscellaneous charges like a per day charge for a roll away etc. that are also waived when you rent from me.

Please see VRBO/355818 if you are interested in staying on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Hilton has acquired Diamond Resorts including Kaanapali Beach Club and has rebranded it. Many extensive renovations and improvements are underway and planned for the future. . All of this adds up to a first class resort!

Hilton Vacation Club Ka'anapali Beach, (Formerly Kaanapali Beach Club) is a fabulous Ocean Front Resort located on the north end of the famous Kaanapali Beach. It is a 3 tower, 12 story high-rise building that is a very unique structure as the center of each tower is open to the atrium/courtyard below. If you are familiar with Embassy Suites, then you have an idea of what to expect as the resort was originally known as the Embassy Resort at Kaanapali Beach.

The one bedroom suite is over 820 square feet and both the living room and the bedroom take advantage of the fabulous views. The bath is very large and has a private entrance from both the bedroom and the living area so as to make the unit very comfortable for sharing. You can have either a king bed in the bedroom or 2 doubles - your choice. The suite has a sleeper sofa and a very nice rollaway can also be brought up at no extra charge. There is a full kitchen minus the range. (A large electric skillet and/or a crock pot can be bought to your room at no charge) There is a microwave, dishwasher and full size refrigerator and barbeque grills on site. There are beautiful Hawaiian furnishings. The unit is air conditioned. There is a stereo and DVD player in the living room and TVs in both the living room and bedroom. There is now wireless internet throughout the resort.

ONE ACRE POOL with waterfall and waterslide. Separate kiddies pool. Hot Tub.

Kaanapali Beach is located on the west, dry side of Maui and one of the most requested destinations in the world. There are many golf courses nearby as well as restaurants on site and nearby. Plenty of shopping nearby and one shopping center and grocery store is just across the street within easy walking distance. There is great swimming, snorkeling and diving right in front of the resort as well as many other great locations within a short drive. For those of you that want the services of a concierge, their desk is located downstairs in the lobby. ***There is no obligation to attend a timeshare presentation, but if you so choose, there are some free goodies offered to you for attending. Frankly, I tell people to avoid contact with the sales department the same way I would avoid contact with someone who is infected with Covid.

Maid service is provide midweek during your stay at no charge and there are plenty of towels in the room for your needs. If there is anything else you need, the friendly staff is very quick to attend to your needs.

SNORKELING:
I would like to take just a moment to talk about the fabulous snorkeling in Maui. This doesn't require you to pay for and take a snorkel cruise. There is great snorkeling right out in front of the resort. (Be careful though to heed the flags and read the signs!) The divers take groups out directly in front of the resort most days, but you can snorkel there on your own and there are resident sea turtles that you can see even from the shore if you pay attention. Whether it be out front or within a short walk, or a short drive, there are many locations where you can see a vast variety of sea life besides the sea turtles, including, moray eels, puffer fish, trigger fish, parrot fish, surgeon fish, unicorn fish and on and on and on. Please feel free to ask more if you are interested.

Maui rated number 1 again!!

Maui named the #1 vacation destination in the US, #4 in the world, by U.S. News and World Report.

Kaanapali Beach has been voted Best Beach in America by Dr. Stephen Leatherman (Dr. Beach), Number 1 Beach in the USA (14 times) by Conde Naste, Beach with the Best Sunset by Hawaii Magazine, and Maui has been voted the Best Island in the World over 14 years in a row.

Misleading
We had great response from our host when we first booked the place. After that we got no check in instructions. We called VRBO when we arrived after an entire day traveling and they couldn’t help us. Told us to book our own hotel and they would cover the cost. Turns out they didn’t cover the cost. We eventually got into the resort the next day and they booked a double bed room even tho it was listed on VRBO as a king room. The unit itself was nice and clean and spacious. Good location albeit the pink exterior is a bit outdated.

Great stay. Family friendly
We stayed at the Beach Club Resort for 7 days and had a great time. The staff were all super nice and helpful. The pool was great, especially when it was too windy to go to the beach. The beach access was a little odd and seemed like the ‘rehab’ project has been stalled for some time. The resorts to either side have constructed retaining walls with steps to access the beach but there is a fence and large nylon sand bags with ‘No Access’ signs along this resort’s shoreline. The room was spacious and the front desk sent up a roll away bed to accommodate our party of 5. Super helpful! The abbreviated kitchen was nice to help offset food costs. I think the only addition I would make is a broom and dust pan to help keep up with the sand. All in all a great vacation!

Fun and sun in Maui
Gary has a great place. It was clean and had plenty of kitchen items. Bed was comfortable.The pool had lots of chairs and towels. The location is close to restaurants- some in walking distance. I would stay in this condo again. Although there was no laundry- it was free and on the same floor just around the corner from unit. Parking was free.

Return to Former Embassy Suites
We had stayed at the property right after it had opened as the Embassy Suites. We looked forward to returning there. We were not disappointed. It was terrific although we did miss the breakfast that the Embassy Suites provided. We had a great time enjoying the room, the pool, the terrific ocean view and the incredible location of the particular unit. The room had everything we needed for a totally relaxing stay. There are restaurants within walking distance and a food truck court nearby. KIMO's is within a short drive to nearby Lahaina. An ABC store is close by as well. The staff members were very friendly. My wife had a massage at the AHH spa right on the property and raves about it.

Restaurant is not open except take out
Lovely stay the resort is very nice, but very disappointed the restaurant was not open for service. I specifically booked here for the second time for the on-site restaurant and live music. Food was available for takeout only and extremely limited. Website still does not say the restaurant is not open.

Retirement Trip
My husband and I fought this property wonderful and our deluxe ocean view room on the 12th floor was simply awesome views. From the bedroom to living room, our view of the ocean and shoreline were in view. We loved the resort location too, with grocery store so close, local restaurants, nail salon and massage cabanas near the pool. Although we've traveled to Lahaina area several times, we just found the Kaanapali Beach Club resort fantastic place to relax and enjoy every moment of our ten day stay. FANTASTIC MEMORIES

Great service from Gary
We’ve stayed several times at Kaanapali Beach Club so we know what to expect. We traveled with another family that also did a VRBO stay. Fortunately for us, Gary took care of all the communications with Diamond Resorts to ensure everything was put in our name. Check in was perfect for us, unfortunately for our friends, they used someone else who didn’t follow through by communicating the names correctly. So great job Gary! Thanks for helping us have a smooth and hassle free vacation. We highly recommend Gary’s VRBO unit and follow through.

We had the best vacation at this property! Beautiful ocean views and they were very accommodating bringing up a rollaway bed! We had everything we needed. The resort itself was amazing- we enjoyed the pool everyday and the beach is steps away. We will be back!! Thank you, Gary!

Great place for a family getaway!
Gary was the outstanding! He answered all of my questions as this was the first time I had used VRBO. His description was spot on and made me feel very comfortable with my selection. As for KBC, the place was very clean and the service was outstanding. Any time we called down and needed something, they were knocking on our door within 15 minutes fulfilling our request. The pool is definitely the highlight of the resort! It is huge and offers plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. The waterslide was a hit for the kids! The beach access is a little challenging and the beach area itself is somewhat limited but still provided the experience we were looking for. The on-site underground parking garage was also convenient. I would definitely recommend staying here and working with Gary again!

Our family had an amazing time at the Kaanapali Beach Club Ocean Front Resort. The room had an ocean view that was stunning!
