Great location, the nicest unit in the building, easy to book and check-in/check-out. 5/5 stars.

We had a great time here. Perfectly slept our family off four and the views are amazing. The only downside was the kitchen was not well stocked (would have been nice to have a pizza stone or baking sheet) and we were only provided four towels. It would have been nice to have two each but we understand it’s just more laundry. Overall we had a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

The property is great, a smaller condo in between larger properties right on the water with great views. The pool area and hot tub are nice with a lovely kitchen and grill and dining area. The area is fully open after the fires so support the local businesses that need some help.

Great location. Property is a little run down that being said the view on this property is A plus. The beach is right out the door on floor 1 turn right or left and you're there. Beautiful sunsets, stargazing and many rainbows. The kitchen is well equipped. Food store and shopping close by. I know I will be staying here again. Neal was a pleasure to work with.

My wife and I visited Maui for the very first time and we could not be more pleased with our stay at the Maui Kai Condo. The studio condo was beautifully furnished with everything we needed for our time in Maui and the ocean views from the Lanai are amazing!! The Lanai is literally no more than 15 feet from the ocean!! Plus, the condo location is perfect and close to everything we wanted to do on the island...dining, hiking, shopping, sunset cruising...even the Road to Hana and the Haleakala Sunrise was very doable with an early start from Maui Kai! Times Supermarket is located right across the street from the condo resort and a food truck park is within a few minutes walk from the condo. There was plenty of safe parking and lastly, the condo owners were extremely nice and personally very attentive before, during, and after our stay! We truly could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Maui Kai Condo!!

Rainbows, monk seals and dolphins greeted us with our morning coffee, while stunning sunsets with comforting ocean waves lulled us to sleep. There is no better place to be, and no better host possible than wonderful, kind, considerate Neal Norris. We are already booked in the same unit for next year!

Great little condo right on the water with beautiful view. Clean, pretty and well stocked. Small pool and hot tub for building was in great condition and very convenient. Grocery store a short walk away. Easy access to boardwalk. 5 min walk to Duke's, 30 min walk to Whaler's Village. Easy check in and check out with good communication. Would absolutely stay here again.

The condo had everything we needed for our vacation. The lania is great. We spent mornings watching the turtles while we had coffee. The ocean is so close its an experience in itself. You can snorkel and swim behind the hotel but the beach .5 miles to the south has a large grassy area and beach.

The condo was clean and reasonably well stocked. While the interior is a little dated, the 180 degree view of the ocean, the sunset, and the sea turtle superhighway more than made up for it. We’ll most likely be back!

This property is so close to the ocean if it were any closer you’d be in it! Beautiful view of the waves, dolphins, sea turtles, and surfers as well as two of the islands. It was a perfect walk to Dukes and Whalers Village down the beautiful pathway.

Clean, well decorated, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, spices, etc. best of all is the great view from the dining table window and lanai! Nothing better than falling to sleep with the sound of crashing waves! We have stayed at Maui Kai before and will be back to this unit! Love walking to Whaler’s Village or Maui Brewing. Very quiet complex!

Condo is beautiful and immaculate . Getting there was a bit complicated. Maui Kai office lady was pretty RUDE when we inquired about the condo. Would not help except to ORDER us to read our email. There was also intermittent hammering and sawing from the condo above (901), annoying! And when the electricity went out, we could not find a flashlight or candles. An emergency kit would have been helpful. And perhaps a call or email from you during our stay would have been a nice gesture. And inform future guests that there are used books available in the pool rec room.

View is awesome but the appliances need maintenance or should be replaced. Our dishwasher did not work the entire stay and they finally came to work on it as we checked out. The shower head has a very bad leak and they never came to fix it. Another review over a month ago listed the leak in the shower also. The electric stove burners are all tilted and hard to cook on.

The property is a smallish, 500 roughly square feet. But everything I needed was there. The views from the lanai are absolutely amazing. Super clean place, very close proximity to the beach boardwalk. I had a period of about three hours where somebody upstairs was Doing some minor construction, but that passed and it was peaceful again. I will definitely want to come back to this place.

Great location, beautiful view! This was the best stocked condo we’ve stayed in. Every utensil, appliance, etc was there…even binoculars and laundry detergent (unscented…thank you!). We enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
