How To Choose The Perfect Kaanapali Beach Rental For Your Family

Let’s be honest, planning a family vacation can involve a lot of moving parts. Between securing the best flights, planning your itinerary, and deciding on the perfect accommodation, it can take a lot of time and effort to get things just right. Especially when you’re looking for a good vacation rental to stay at with kids in Maui, there’s so much to keep in mind to ensure the trip goes smoothly. Here at Maui Resorts by Sullivan Properties, we help make your life a little easier. We offer a curated collection of premium vacation rentals in Ka’anapali Beach, Hawaii, ideal for families seeking a relaxing, joyful getaway. Here’s how to choose the perfect one for your next trip to Maui:

Hotel or Resort: Which is Better for my Kaanapali Vacation Rental?

When deciding where to stay during your Maui vacation, you’ll fortunately have plenty of great hotels and resorts to choose from. While hotels are a fine choice and offer conveniences, a resort stay can provide significant advantages, especially for families. Many hotels have rooms with little to no shared space. In contrast, a condo vacation rental in Kaanapali will afford you spacious bedrooms with separate living areas, plus there’s often a private outdoor lanai for your enjoyment. Our condo rentals in West Maui also feature fully stocked kitchens as well as washers and dryers, so you don’t have to rely on room service or communal laundry areas, making them ideal for long-term stays. We really strive to create a home away from home for you and your family with personalized, peaceful, and spacious accommodations that make your vacation actually feel like a vacation!

Which Size Condo Rental in Maui is Right for Your Family?

The other great thing about a condo rental for your vacation in Maui is that you can choose from a wide selection of accommodations to fit your unique needs. We offer studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom vacation rentals ideal for groups big and small, so even if you’re bringing the in-laws, the grandparents, and maybe some friends, you can stay with us in comfort and style. Here’s a breakdown of our size options:

• Studio Condo: Our vacation studio rentals are ideal for couples or small families with young children. Our beachfront studio vacation rental at the Whaler can comfortably sleep up to 4 people.
• 1-Bedroom Condo: If you’re hoping to bring your family of 4 or less on vacation but want a little bit more privacy for yourself, we recommend our 1-bedroom Kaanapali Beach condo rental at the Mahana.
• 2-Bedroom Condo: For accommodations that fit up to 6 people, check out our 2-bedroom vacation condo rentals near Kaanapali in Kahana and Kapalua. These are located just a short drive from Kaanapali Beach, so you can experience all the best parts of staying in a top-rated vacation rental without having to squeeze into a too-small hotel room.
• 3-Bedroom Condo: Bringing along the whole family? Make it comfortable with a spacious 3-bedroom condo rental at the Sands of Kahana! This is an excellent choice for groups of up to 8 people. Plus, you can choose between a penthouse-style condo or a single-level suite to fit your exact needs. If you’ve got cranky teens who need their own space or you just want more privacy from the kids, a 2 or 3-bedroom unit is the better option.
