What a perfect place to stay for our 30th anniversary. The unit was as advertised. For me the bed was super comfy (always subjective). The sunsets off the lanai are amazing. We also saw dolphins and turtles (it wasn’t whale season so none of those). The beach is a short walk away and plenty of food options around but you MUST go to Leoda’s (it’s a short drive away). The beach chairs came in handy. Can’t say we used all the amenities so I can’t speak to the hot tub/pool but there is one onsite. We would definitely stay here again if we came back!

Our family had an incredible stay at this beautiful oceanfront condo in Maui. The unit was clean, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities we needed to make our vacation memorable, fun, and relaxing.While we did have a minor issue at check-in with the wrong door code, our host was a lifesaver! They responded immediately and fixed the issue right away, which we really appreciated.I was initially a bit surprised by the "balcony" and "enclosed lanai" mentioned in the description. I was expecting a traditional walk-out balcony, but it turned out to be more of a Juliet balcony. However, the breathtaking view and direct overlook into the ocean more than made up for it!We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to other families. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Location, location, location! The room is ocean front nothing to obscure sight or sound of the beautiful ocean, soothing waves and tranquil sunsets, 24/7. Everything is within walking distance (grocery, restaurants, rental car company, food trucks). The condo has direct beach access, though it can be tricky to navigate during high tide. There’s an accessible beach park (with facilities and showers) nearby, which makes it easier for everyone to enjoy the sand and ocean and there’s something magical about watching sea turtles frolicking in the surf everyday. The water has its own rhythm—some days bring powerful, rolling waves perfect for watching or playing, while other days the ocean is calm and peaceful, ideal for a relaxing swim. The sunsets are absolutely breathtaking, painting the sky with the most beautiful colors. Truly a perfect spot to connect with nature and unwind.The condo also provides plenty of chairs, perfect for relaxing, watching the waves roll in, and enjoying the stunning sunsets but we preferred the view from the comfortable and well equipped condo.If you decide to venture out a bit further, you can catch the boardwalk from the park which runs for approximately three miles along the beach to additional restaurants and shopping. For the best Mai Tais, Monkey Pod is a must! The hosts were great! Easy reservation process, timely responses, zero issues during checkin/out, laundry same floor. Tried to share photos but tech issues. Must see!!!

This is one pf the only condos right on the ocean, literally,.its like being on a ship. You can sit on balcony and.watch stingrays and turtles daily. The rainbows were awesome in the morning clouds. We will be back!

The property was clean and nice. We love this location in West Maui. Being able to just walk downstairs and get out on the beach is amazing. There's a nearby food truck court that opens each evening at 5:30 (walking distance). There are a couple of handy restaurants, shops and a grocery store just across this street. Wifi worked fine. Coffee maker and kitchen were all good. TV with streaming services was nice. The only negative thing was the laundry facilities were very old. The dryer never did get anything dry.

Property was beautiful. We stayed here cause a family member was getting married outside of Lahaina. Breathtaking views. True oceanfront. My wife and I will definitely be back.

We had an amazing time. It felt as if the condo was loved and the owners equipped it with furnishings for their personal use, (Rather than low quality stuff they got for their rental.) It was perfect for my husband and I. We were surprised that the owners had a "happy anniversary" flower arrangement waiting for us. Yet another thoughtful touch.

Pleasantly surprised by finding everything we needed for a great stay. Plenty of clean towels, a few cooking/seasoning essentials, and lots of dinnerware. Hosts supplied toiletries, paper needs, cleaning supplies. Location is gorgeous and quiet. Only issue was a malfunctioning AC unit in the living room. Worked around it and had an otherwise great stay!

The property was the absolutely perfect condo to spend our 50th Anniversary at. The condo was stocked with everything and anything we may have needed. Having our coffee and breakfast on the lanai every morning was so relaxing. There was nothing that we could recommend improving upon. It brought us many happy memories that we will cherish forever.

The condo was on the corner. You could look out from the lani and see the beach and straight out to see the ocean. Turtles visited daily any time from 11 AM to noon. The condo has all the necessary items to make you comfortable. My wife and I enjoyed the king size bed. There were vintage posters on the wall that brought back memories. The owner Neal is a very nice man. I look forward to staying in this condo again.

Everything worked as it should.Although the supplies (toilet paper, paper towels, detergent, etc.) were described as just enough to get started, there was plenty of everything for our family of four for 9 nights. We really appreciated this. Our two teenage sons slept in single beds on the lanai and loved it! The windows can be closed to air condition this space with the rest of the condo. Smoke space for four grown humans. The pool, grill and clubhouse areas were never crowded and provided nice, shaded areas during the hot part of the day. The owner was polite and professional, even accommodating a change in schedule. Highly recommend!

This room and hotel was absolutely perfect. Tucked away and quiet, yet had the most amazing views of the ocean. It felt like we had our own private beach and ocean. The room had everything we needed, including beach chairs and towels. The kitchen was well-equipped. Stan was very responsive as a host and even provided a generous gift card to a local restaurant. I cannot describe in words how wonderful this place was for us. The pictures are extremely accurate. Sunsets were incredible. Would definitely recommend a stay and would return.

I recommend this property as high as I possibly can! My feelings for this property is so high, that I could not say a negative word about any of it!
Book it!
A bit more detail:
My oldest daughter (15) was excited to go to Maui and see sea turtles and within 1 min of checking in and going to see the amazing view there was a turtle swimming just a few yards out in the water.
We would watch the sunset as often as we could on the lanai (porch) and just listen to the waves come onto shore.
Everything for the beach were there for our convivence! There was chairs, beach towels, small ice chests, toys and umbrella.
The kitchen was FULLY stocked! We didn't cook much, but found everything that we needed to make a perfect dinner!
We were going to check into the condo the day after the tsunami warning and when I reached out to the owners, they provided what they knew and the website they were following to get the latest information. We exchanged messages throughout the stay and could not appreciate the open communication any more!

I loved every minute at Maui Kai. Being on the beach with the crashing sound of the waves, when I woke up and before going to bed was magical.I appreciated the immediate assistance from my condo owners when I reached out.My location, the Bose speaker to play music, the views....all of it were what I needed.I would stay here again in a minute!!!Thank you.

This one bedroom condo had a stunning view and plenty of space for my family of four. The condo was well equipped with everything you would need to prep a meal for a night in and the proximity to the beach made beach days easy. The living room was a great size for all of us -with space to spare. There are restaurants, food trucks, and a grocery store within walking distance. You must try Vida’s coffee truck for excellent coffee! Also, communication with the property management company was very easy. Great place to stay!!

The unit was as nice as advertised. Magnificent oceanfront view with access to the beach. Very clean with a well-stocked kitchen. Having the beach cart, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella, beach towels and swim fins were an unexpected surprise!Know that the a/c thermostat can only be set as low as 74, but the unit included multiple fans that you could place as desired. If you want a nice, quiet place in a great location, this is it. So many of the nearby properties are very large, and Maui Kai is the perfect place if you want a smaller property with a short walk to the pool, beach or parking.

This place was absolutely phenomenal! The Maui Kai resort is the best location because you walk out the front straight onto the beach. I didn’t see another resort/hotel that could truly say that. The beach never got too crowded at all in that area. I will come back!!The room itself is perfect for two people - great new finishings on everything, plenty of space to cook all of the meals you’d like, all of the cooking utensils you could need, a comfortable couch and chair, a comfortable bed with plenty of pillows and blankets, a roomy bathroom/shower which came with a starter set of shampoos as well as a blow dryer, cable tv options to log into streaming services and last, but most definitely not least, an unbeatable view out the lanai (which had options to open/close the screens and curtains). We saw so many sea turtles from our room/lanai and again down on the beach right out the doors. We also lucked out and saw seals while we were there! I’d recommend renting snorkel gear and bringing an underwater camera because there is plenty to see right in the area.We went to a couple different beaches while there just to try the full experience, and the beach directly out of Maui Kai ended up being our favorite! We went on a few hikes that were within 30 minutes of the resort - Kapalua Coastal Trail, Mahana Ridge Trail and Ohai Trail. We also did the first part of the road to Hana and stopped to hike at Twin Falls then drove to the top of Haleakalā. All well worth it!

This is one of the best places we have ever stayed in Maui and we have visited the island numerous times. Stan was so generous providing a floral arrangement and sign on the door celebrating our 40th anniversary. The unit was immaculate and fully stocked with all the essentials. Staying on the ground floor put us right next to the water, where we saw turtles every morning, stunning sunsets and even a pod of spinner dolphins one day. We would definitely recommend staying here and we plan on coming back as well in the future.

This was the perfect spot for my husband and I. We enjoyed our breakfast on the lanai every morning. The view is mesmerizing with the ocean and views of the other islands. We also were able to watch pods of dolphins swim by. The condo has a great location to the beach, the boardwalk, grocery store, abc store, restaurants and food truck lot. It’s well stocked with everything you need. The condo was also quiet and peaceful so we could sleep well. Thanks for an unforgettable vacation!

This condo is well appointed with everything you need, in a great location and responsive property management. It was very quiet and parking was easy. The lanai is awesome with a table, chairs, couch and two lounge chairs. The condo is showing some wear and tear, but the decor is cute. We did see one dying cockroach on the floor – the cleaning staff likely sprays for bugs when they come clean (& we saw bug killer in the cupboard. The lanai has many birds flying over and so a little bird poop did keep reappearing on the chairs and decking. The bedroom is not ocean facing so no relaxing waves to put you to sleep at night. But the family room and lanai have full ocean views. Within walking distance, you will find a good food truck court, a supermarket, a restaurant and more.None of the critiques would not prevent us from staying there again, but I think it’s helpful to read reviews that are honest.

My husband and I rented this space for about half of our stay in Maui. This unit is in an ideal location. Beautiful part of North Kaanapali. Close to many great restaurants and sights. The unit was clean and pleasant and the hosts were extremely responsive. The view from the balcony is stunning! Great for turtle watching or sunsets. It is a western exposure so can be scorching in the afternoon. A couple of things no one else noted in any of the reviews, but were extremely important to me: there is no where to hang out on this property. There is no beach to speak of. You are immediately wading as soon as you step off the building landing. There is no lawn. The building literally meets ocean. The pool is in the parking lot and just isn’t somewhere you would want to hang out. This was extremely disappointing to me and something I would have loved to have known in advance.

Vacation rental of this condo was amazing. No issues, very private. Can’t control the wind, but it was a very windy stay this last week of June. Homeless were definitely present in this area as it’s next to a public park. Law enforcement should be more present in the evenings/ nightime in this local park area.

We loved our stay - fantastic view and location, comfortable King bed, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. You may want to mention in your listing that you have a Kurig Coffee maker - as we would have brought our favorite coffee pods. Quiet and relaxing with the lull of the ocean waves at night time. Just what we needed for a relaxing vacation.
