We had such an incredible time here in Maui! The sunsets, beach and condo were all perfect. It had everything that we needed for our stay and the views each day were insane. We were incredibly grateful to John and Sara for helping our family get through the tsunami scare, they are so kind! We will definitely be back

This place is so clean and comfortable. The best part is the gorgeous view and super easy access to the beautiful beach. Great relaxing vacation! The on site store is super handy also.

The hotel room was easy to find and get into and was in a great location but the room was dirty. The walls had holes that were “patched” and the bathroom was very gross. The shower was old and stained and the shower head was crusted over. Overall was an okay stay.

When we arrived, the unit reeked of gas—an immediate safety concern. The back door was missing a handle, which meant we couldn’t lock it and had no way to secure our belongings. There were stains all over the floor, and the furniture was extremely worn and outdated—easily 20 years old. We asked Vacasa to move us to a different unit, but they refused. They said they would refund one night as a compromise, but never followed through. After this experience, I will never book with Vacasa again.

We had never stayed on this side of the island before, and would return in a heartbeat. Beautiful beach that was incredibly accessible for swimming and snorkeling. We loved having coffee/breakfast on the lanai in the mornings, observing all that was happening on the beach below while we made our plans for the day. The beach out front is gorgeous and we'll miss the view- truly breathtaking! The condo is close to several restaurants, grocery stores, and beaches- we always felt safe at this location. Jude was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. The unit has everything you could possibly need and more. Jude made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend this unit and hope to be back at some point. Thanks so much, Jude!

Such a great stay, we sat onthe Lania most of the time when we were in the room. Great to watch people and activities on the beach. Such great location for quick access to pool and beach. We even got to watch a pod of dolphins right off the beach.

Amazing view from this unit and a great beach for walking and snorkeling. Definitely walk the trail to the north of the property toward the boat ramp and park if you want to see sea turtles! The general store on the ground floor is a great amenity with plenty of snacks and stuff for breakfast and lunch. Property is centrally located between Wailea and Kihei giving you tons of dining and shopping options.

We enjoyed being so close to the beach and spend time with our family that traveled there to meet us. The outdoor bbq area was super nice. The beach chairs on the grass was perfect for us. The view was incredible.
The condo was nice, it only had 2 forks which made a family of six to wash a lot of dishes (we bought disposable forks and chopsticks)

10/10 in all areas. My family of six (kids ages 18-25) fit in this space. But we also don’t mind being cozy, and we knew we wouldn’t be spending a lot of time in the unit. When the sofa bed is out, it is tight. But that’s ok because you will be at the beautiful beach which is right outside your doorstep. Location is perfect. View is amazing. If you don’t choose this unit, at least choose this management company. They went above and beyond to meet our needs. Highly recommend!

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!

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 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.
