This condo was incredible, the location and view cannot be beat. The beach was so inviting and expansive enough to where you were not crowded in on each other. The condo had everything we needed, fully stocked and the beds were comfortable. The building is great, with a store onsite that really has anything you may need. Great salads, sliders and other options too in case you just want to eat at the condo but not cook. Most importantly, the view of the beach and the sounds of the waves at night is what dreams are made of, truly. You can leave your slider open all night with the fresh breeze. It is wonderful. We will be back! Couple notes in case interested:- Parking spots are a little tight so recommend renting a smaller vehicle if you can make it work. -The bar/restaurant onsite is still not available which was unfortunate because locals told us it was a great place to dine at, however there are several local places to dine at too. We did Cool Cat Cafe and Monkeypod Kitchen to name a few. -The beach is a public beach and gets busy on the weekends, still plenty of room, but be aware that locals use the beach for fishing, they have their gear on the beach/lines in the water so keep a close eye on little ones. (as you should anyways). -BE RESPECTFUL of the ocean. We had to go chase down garbage from families who kids would just leave their garbage sitting around. Turtles also swim there, watch out for them, keep your distance. -RELAX!

We picked this property for it's view from the balcony. We liked that there were table and chairs facing the ocean. We spent our mornings drinking coffee and doing just enough work from our computers to stay kind of caught up. The view did not disappoint! The pool area was really nice. We enjoyed the grassy area between the pool and the beach. It was just a short drive to the shops of Waliea or the shopping and restaurants in Kihea. We highly recommend!

Excellent communication from the moment we booked, Jude is a great host. The condo is beautiful and very well stocked with everything you could need. The location is perfect, close to all the beaches, beautiful beachfront pool and minutes from great shopping and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again.

This place was a great place to stay with two teenage girls they had the back room to themselves with their own bathroom. Me and the hubby enjoyed the front room with the beautiful ocean view. Its safe and great for families to stay with a pool and gym available aswell. The owner provides plenty of towels for a week stay. The AC works great! Not that we used it much we left the balcony screen door open every night the sounds of the ocean waves completed our stay. Plenty of restaurants just few miles away. I would definitely stay here again.

The people of Kihei are some of the nicest people. The Mana Kai is a beautiful condominium complex with a grassy area and pool. They keep it very clean. There is a great little market on site and there is snorkeling right outside the condos. We saw sea turtles and even a monk seal. Terrific.

This condo was wonderful and we loved our time there. The view from the porch is amazing and we loved having all of our meals there. Also loved being able to have the doors open all night to hear the ocean waves. The beach is just steps away from the lobby and the small reef outside was also fun to snorkel. Check-in was easy and convenient.

Everything was very nice the only issue we had was the cookware was so so, little old, so was the stove. It would have been nice to have had a keuring coffee maker. not enough paper towels or toilet paper. Furniture was outdated for being a remodeled unit. Other than that, everything was good

We had such a wonderful vacation. There are so many pluses for this property and so appreciative of the trash bags, the dish dishwashing detergent and the laundry detergent. A few issues were the sensor on the doors that causes the air conditioner to go off every time we open the doors to put swimsuits out to dry so it would be nice if that was listed and also it would be nice if it's listed that there's a hairdryer there so but overall, it was a wonderful stay, thank you

We rented the 2bd/2ba Mana Kai unit and were very happy with our booking. There was a slight hiccup at the very beginning of our stay as there were no linens for the pull out bed but as soon as we brought this to the property manager’s attention, the housekeeping brought the linen set to our room. The location is excellent as it is an oceanfront property so all you have to do to get to the beach is go downstairs. There’s also a small convenience store downstairs - they have coffee, bread, eggs, milk and other essentials. They are a bit pricey but you pay for the convenience of not having to go to the grocery store. The unit has two bedrooms - one bedroom is more secluded as it has its own bathroom and a heavy door. The other bedroom is in the common area with the couch (that has the pullout bed) and you can separate the two rooms with a wooden sliding door but the person sleeping on the couch/pullout bed will have to walk by the bed to get to the bathroom. It wasn’t a problem for us but something to keep in mind. The kitchen had everything we needed (pots, pans, utensils, drip coffee maker, blender, and even grilling accessories).

Our family of 4 stayed in this condo for a week and it was absolutely perfect. You cannot beat the location. We spent every day on the beach, just steps away, which is one of the best beaches on the island. The convenient store directly downstairs was so nice, we used it everyday. We've stayed in this unit multiple times and have always been so happy with it. It's clean, well appointed, has fast wifi, great ocean views, is spacious and we personally love that it's directly across from the stairs which we prefer to taking the elevator. No complaints! We'll be back!

The property was clean and communication about accessibility of the unit was very good and concise. Bed was comfy and the unit has a wonderful view. It’s a great place overall. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Pool is kept clean and great temperature and the grassy area is lovely. Snorkeling right off this beach is perfect. Only thing I can recommend is maybe updating the couch and chairs and we only had one drying towel and no dish rags.

We loved waking up and going to bed here. Morning, swims, and evening walks made this stay unforgettable. We saw turtles in the bay and gorgeous sunsets. It was also a great central jumping off point for all the things we wanted to do in Maui from visiting Haleakala, la Perouse Bay, and easily getting to and from the airport.

This is a perfect spot for a beach that is safe for kids but great to snorkel at, boogie board, and paddle board in the morning. We saw a few turtles both snorkeling and even from the room. Rental staff are excellent. The 808 market is convenient. Beach chairs and umbrella included in the room were a great touch. This worked great for our family!

This property has everything you would need or wish for in a beachfront condo. The location is ON the beach. View speaks for itself…could literally vacation on the lanai.
General store, rentals downstairs. Mana Kai has everything on property. Fantastic snorkeling steps from the property. Amazing!

This was our first visit to Maui, and we weren’t sure where to stay on the island. Our stay at the Mana Kai Maui condo in Kihei far exceeded our expectations. The location was central to everything, and the view from our condo was breathtaking. We were located right on the beach with wonderful views of the sunset. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will recommend this place to family and friends.

The property is as advertised. Best view, excellent condition of property and the building in general was pleasant to stay in. Mana Kai has everything you would need - equipment rentals, general store and the location is perfect. A plus is the excellent snorkeling literally steps away.

The unit was clean, spacious, and had a great view of the ocean. We could hear the waves from the unit, and it was easy to access the beach. What’s holding this back from being rated 5 stars is the lack of blackout curtains in the bedrooms and the bathtubs being outdated.

This condo was exactly what I was looking for. While many properties are advertised as “beachfront,” this one truly delivers—you step out and your feet are in the sand. No roads to cross, no obstructed views—just the ocean right outside your door.The photos are accurate. The condo itself is clean, comfortable, and the beds were great—which is always a top priority for us. We kept the sliding door open most of the time and enjoyed the ocean breeze and sound of the waves—it was incredibly relaxing.There’s a charming little market downstairs that sells everything from snacks to toiletries and travel-sized condiments, which came in handy. We were less than a mile from food trucks and other stunning beaches.I did a lot of research to find this place, and it did not disappoint. My family and I absolutely loved it and would stay here again without hesitation.

Great unit, great location, great view, access to the beach was all we could ever hope for, amazingly quiet neighbors and grounds, easy access to parking and the beach - it was a perfect visit. The little store that's there was perfect for some small needs we had, everyone we ran into on the staff was friendly and the pool, while pretty small, was clean and a wonderful temperature. While we were there beach waves were very calm, and dogs on the beach were quite common. Owner was very responsive. We loved it and will not hesitate to return.

Great location, fabulous view. Clean. Great amenities.Primary bedroom had no soundproofing from the parking lot. This was the only significant negative. Staff very friendly and helpful. Access to beach and sitting was great. 808 store on location was very convenient.

Really enjoyed the ability to walk right out and have the beach, water, a grassy area, the pool and a shower for rinsing off right there. Also, nice to sleep with sliding doors open, and fall asleep to waves crashing. The unit needs some updating, especially the balcony furniture. Didn' spend much time inside.

We had a wonderful time at John and Sara‘s condo at Mana Kai for our first visit to Maui! The views are so beautiful, and the condo was amazing! It was very clean with comfortable beds and plenty of room in the closets (with lots of hangers which was nice!). The bathrooms were well stocked and had plenty of bathroom counter space and drawers, and the kitchen also was very well stocked. The swimming at the beach and snorkeling right off the rocks was great (saw several sea turtles!), and it was easy to get a lounge chair to just relax by the ocean. John and Sara are very prompt wirh communication and helpful advice/recommendations. We were in Hawaii to celebrate our 30th Anniversary and loved our time spent here, and highly recommend John and Sara's condo! We couldn’t have picked a better place! Thank you for everything!

A wonderful property with amenities right in the building. Gorgeous beach outside the door perfect for snorkeling. Also a great lawn area with shade to move into later in the day when hot. Walk to restaurants and shops. Very family friendly, so some children noises if you choose to sleep with the window open to hear the waves. Not a big deal though.

This was our second stay at Mana Kai and we found it as beautiful as the first. Mana Kai is an older complex, but the location is stunning. An ocean breeze is constant and the waves lull you to sleep at night. This condo was fully stocked with everything we needed. The furnishings are a little worn, but we didn’t stay inside much anyway with the ocean calling. We love the ability to walk out the lobby door a few steps to the ocean. The public beach is well loved by many for walking, sunbathing and snorkeling. We hope to return soon.

This unit is exceptional. Beautiful ocean front property and perfect access to the beach for sun, fun or walks. This unit has everything you need. Well appointed kitchen with all kinds of upgrades. There are beach toys, chairs, umbrella and everything else the resort offers, makes this place a must select. Easy check in and technology access.

Imagine being so overwhelmed by the view from your balcony that you never want to leave it?!! Seriously, that was our problem! This was an amazing location, clean, cooled, it was everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back! The snorkeling just outside the condo was exactly what we needed! Don’t pass this place up, it’s a gem!

Overall condo was great very clean and well stocked. We would have liked more beach towels and possibly an umbrella for the beach. I was expecting a true 2 bedroom condo not just dividers for the roomI would also say the communication was not the best when unit first bookedOverall, would recommend the location and building

The pictures showing of this condo are NOT of the condo actually rented. The ACTUAL condo has a master on the backside of the condo facing the parking lot and lots of foot traffic to other units, so you can't even open the blinds if you want privacy. There is a desk with a microwave and a desk fan and a ton of electrical cords all over the place so it feels like a dorm room (and an electrical safety hazard). The master bathroom is so tiny you can barely turn around in it. The second bed is the one facing the lanai and there is no TV as shown. The orientation of the condo is completely different than listed, and the kitchen is smaller. The carpet is dated and in terrible condition- felt gross to walk on with bare feet. The master bedroom also has a separate lock on it so I guess it can be rented separately, so every time you close the door you have to punch in 6 digits to get back in. The beach is as pictured and beautiful, and the place was clean, but not nearly as nice as pictured. I contacted My Perfect Stays and they gave me 250 for my "disappointment" which does not at all cover being lied to and fraud, or the diminished quality of what I thought we were renting. I contacted VRBO and they will do nothing. Big WARNING!! Do not rent!! We tarveled for 15 hours with kids in tow to get there, and had no choice but to stay.

My family of four had a great week stay. We loved the location right on the beach and the ocean views from the lanai. Kids swam in the pool everyday. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Communication and checkin were smooth with Vacasa. We had an assigned parking spot. No Washer/Dryer inside our unit, but there was common laundry on our floor. We were happy that there were beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler for use, perhaps left by previous renters. We would stay here again.
