Julie's place is an excellent value for the Kaanapali area. It is within walking distance of great places to grab food (Farmers Market for groceries and Fish Market for seafood/Poke.)
The ocean is just a sixty second walk from the front door and the lawn/bulkhead is great place to relax and watch the famous Maui sunsets. On the first day snorkeling out front, we were able to see some sea turtles. It is worth noting there is a stone deposit spanning the beach in front of the condo complex which is a habitat for sea urchins. To swim out front, you have to look for a small white paint mark on the bulkhead. There is a narrow channel cut through the stone/coral which can be traversed out to the deeper waters for swimming snorkeling. For wading in the waves and more diverse snorkeling, consider taking the five minute drive South to the bigger resorts for a picnic/day trip.
Julie was very responsive and even checked up on us when a tropical storm was passing through! The rooms were spotless and the amenities are great. Hot tub,pool, and grilling area are also an excellent bonus. You'll enjoy this place as a home base on Maui!
