This was perfect for our mother/daughter trip. It is as close to the ocean as you are going to get. The lanai with the large windows is perfect for viewing the oceans and relaxing. They have chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, etc. Their binoculars are fun to use. Perfectly located amongst several resorts and restaurants.

This condo and the owners were just perfect! The location is private with great parking. The view is THE BEST! We saw monk seals playing right in front of our lanai, crabs on the rocks, turtles hanging out in the water because of the breaker and of course, whales...breaching, sleeping and trucking along. The bed and pillows were great and we are pretty particular about those. We cooked breakfast every morning and the glasses, plates, silverware, pans, etc. were very clean and seemed brand new. Gaspare responded to any of our questions right away. One day we walked to Whalers Village to shop and it only took 45 minutes. Parking over there is crazy so we enjoyed the exercise. I can't say enough about this condo, the lanai had everything you needed. We ate breakfast out there every morning and used the supplied binoculars to look for whales. I highly recommend!!!

The condo is beautiful! The view from the lanai is incredible. We saw whales, dolphins and turtles every day without having to leave the room. The condo is fully stocked with dishes and silverware but you will need to get any food items (including condiments like butter, ketchup, etc.). There is a foodtruck park walkable and a grocery store, Dole whip, an awesome/weird coffee shop with live jazz, L&L bbq and a lot more right across the street. We even did a massage located in the hotel next door, again walkable. Gasapare (owner) was super helpful and quick to reply to questions. Oh, and the bed was super comfy!! My mom slept on the pullout sofa so she could keep the lanai doors open and hear the waves all night. It was a remarkable experience and budget friendly. Highly recommend.

This unit has all ingredients for a perfect Hawaii stay! Unbeatable views, a great location paired with a very comfortable and thoughtfully outfitted unit. The owners were wonderful and very quick to respond to any questions.
A wonderful piece of paradise!

We stayed at Gaspare and Robin's condow for 9 days. It was the best VRBO we have stayed in. The location was perfect. Because of its location you are do not notice the other surrounding complexes allowing you to feel secluded while still being close to all the amenities you could need. The condo itself was so well equipped. I have stayed in VRBOs in multiple countries but this was the best outfitted kitchen I have seen. We like to cook on vacation, so that is a big deal for us. The ability to open and close the lanai was also one of the nicest features. Gaspare and Robin were wonderful hosts, making us feel welcome and valued. Overall a 5 star stay!!

Everything was just as the pictures. Excellent location with a short beach walk to the boardwalk heading north. Saw lots of whales and a sea turtle from our lanai. It was just lovely!

From front end to back end... it was great! The condo had all the amenities needed for our visit. We didnt do a lot of cooking, but there was eveything needed if we had wanted. The lanai is literally a stones throw from the ocean! Some of my best whale photos were taken from there! The pool and bbq area are nice & clean. Everyone was friendly and the property was quiet ( that was important to us). Gaspre may be the best host on VRBO! He reponds promptly and is so very helpful! We needed help that involved the site manager who was a darling as well. It was a perfect get away.

Maui Kai is a great place to stay at. Right on the ocean and all the views of Lanai, Molokai, whales and sunsets. This unit is a real gem of a place. Clean great furnishings comfortable owner easy to communicate with. I highly recommend it (except when we want to be there 😆).
January 2024
The condo at the Maui Kai was a great place to stay. It does not have some of the amenities that the larger resorts provide, such as huge glamorous pools or on site restaurants, but it's a very short walk to others that are nearby. Groceries and food trucks are also in walking distance. The condos have kitchens and separated rooms, like apartments, so they really feel like a home away from home, rather than a cramped hotel room. Laundry is available on each floor. The owners also leave sundries such as snorkel gear, binoculars, etc. that can be enjoyed without having to buy or rent them, or pack from home. The beach is right outside your window, so you can enjoy the sound of the waves and the beautiful sunsets over Maloka'i and Lanai, and watch whales all day if it's the season. It's only a few steps out the door to walk on the beach, and you can walk all the way down Ka'anapali to Black Rock.
I stayed with my wife and son, while my older daughter and her boyfriend stayed in another room on the same property. It was a wonderful vacation, and if we choose Maui as the island we visit again on our next trip, I'll be looking for rooms here again.

This condo provides everything you need to enjoy your stay in a clean, comfortable, quiet environment. We enjoyed watching the surf, the turtles and gorgeous sunsets while on the oceanfront lanai.

Where to start..as this was the most interesting trip we have ever set up, and our first via VRBO.
We set the trip up back at the end of March time frame for the middle of September. From the beginning, the owner, Gaspare, was very communicative and responsive to any and all questions that we had via both email and text.
Then, there is the lull for a few months until it is time to travel. No one could have ever fathomed what would occur on Maui August 8th with the fires. It was and still is truly a tragedy. We wondered if we’d be able to travel, was our condo caught up in the flames, is it safe. All of those things crossed our minds. Gaspare reached out not long after the power had been restored to the area. He was able to answer all of our questions about restaurants and groceries that were open, local attractions in the area that would be closed still when we arrived, and what we might encounter. All of this while saying he understood if we needed to cancel or postpone our stay. We would get a full refund if we chose to cancel. This was within 2 weeks of our travel date that he said this!
We made the choice to continue our trip out to Maui Kai on September 11th. It was the best decision we’d ever make! The condo was everything that we needed for my wife and I.
The accommodations were first class. The view from our lanai I would put up against most any view on the island and still probably pick ours! Thanks again Gaspare for the best trip we could ask for!

What a beautiful spot to stay on Maui. We were enamored with the ocean view 15 feet off the lanai. The location was close to several excellent beaches as well as a 5-minute walk to a big food truck area. Our drive to Lahaina town was a short 10 minutes away. We loved the space, and it had everything that we needed. Most of our time there was spent on the lanai. The sea turtles and even a Manta Ray were right off the shore the morning that we left. Absolute heaven!

I am an older person who was staying alone in this condo, and it was perfect. First the essentials: it was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was accessible, with a building elevator, a walk-in shower, and a ramp to the elevator lobby.
The decor was cute - all Hawaiian-themed, but not too precious. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything I needed.
But the best part of all was the full ocean view from the lanai. I could open the windows and feel as though I were on a ship - that's how close it is to the water. Since I needed to take time to rest on this trip, the gorgeous view made me feel like I was still on vacation, even during those times that I wasn't out and about.
The building was very quiet. The pool was small and basic, but it was clean and never crowded - in fact, I was in there alone a couple of times, with other people sunbathing on the deck.
The owners were very helpful when I had an issue getting to the condo the first night because of a brush fire on the highway. Gaspare was pleasant and responsive in all my contact with him.
There were plenty of towels and lots of thoughtful touches throughout the condo. It really felt like a pleasant home away from home - but with better sunsets!
The location is great, with shopping and food trucks nearby, and a short drive to Lahaina. Duke's Restaurant is just a couple of minutes away, and was excellent.
I highly recommend this condo and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
July 2023
We celebrated our Anniversary and brought our 14 year old son for his first time in Maui and we loved this condo. Beds are so comfortable and the owners are amazing people, we also saw and swam/snorkeled with turtles daily right to the beach access on the right. We loved relaxing on the Lanai and swimming in the pool at night after our excursions. Highly recommend this beautiful place for your next Hawaiin vacation!!

Condo was perfect for our getaway for our 35th wedding anniversary. The place is quiet and so comfortable. View was AMAZING! Loads to do around the property and awesome restaurants. We loved the boogie boards and the snorkeling gear, lots of laughs on our adventure to Slaughter House beach viewing all kinds of fish. Condo itself was comfortable and very well appointed. Bed was super comfy, the shower was nice and hot. Would definitely recommend!

This is a nice unit right on the water. The only drawback was the lack of screens on the lanai. It was very hot keeping the glass doors shut.

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing week at Maui Kai and Gaspare and Robins place was a major reason why. Morning breeze and wonderful walks…snorkeling with turtles everyday…and the proximity to the food truck court and supermarket make this spot a must return for us. We can’t wait to get back.

This is a beautiful property! The views of the ocean, islands and the sound of the waves was so peaceful. The location is also very convenient, close to stores, restaurants and the beach.

The waves are just below the balcony! I fell asleep every night to the sound of waves crashing on the rocks and seawall below. They have binoculars and I could sit and watch the whales from the balcony whenever I wanted. It's a very short walk to the sandy parts of the beach, and there's a food truck lot a block away. I would highly recommend for individuals or couples

We came for our first trip to Maui. Condo 205 was excellent! Decorated in Hawaii style, which is what I wanted. Room was very clean, and well stocked. They even had binoculars so we could watch the whales every day! Highly recommend

This was a great property! The location was perfect. There is a grocery store literally across the street. Food truck court a few steps away, and Dukes Beach House restaurant is only a 5 min walk down the boardwalk. The condo has central air so it’s very comfortable. The huge lanai is great for whale watching. We saw whales and turtles from the lanai every day. Beach access was so easy and convenient. We loved it here!

This condo is perfect! Right on the beach with a beautiful view. Same as if you were on a cruise ship. Restaurants and grocery are in walking distance (1 block). There is also a parking lot with food trucks. Parking at the property is free and lots of stalls available. The owner was easy to reach and responded quickly to our messages. We definitely recommend this property if you are planning to visit Maui.

Wonderful 2nd floor unit right on the waters edge! We watched sea turtles mating, humpback whales jumping. & a monk seal on shore. Close to shopping and Kaanapali food truck park. Private enclosed pool, not as crowded as the larger condo complexes. Staff very friendly & Gaspare was very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Thank you!

We were completely at home in this beautiful condo. We loved having breakfast on the lanai while watching the powerful ocean waves crash against the shore. The condo was immaculate and tastefully decorated. We had everything we needed to cook, to do water activities and even some Maui tour books for reference on activities like restaurants etc. We both said, “This feels like home.”

My mother and I traveled with an infant and this place was great for us. The condo was right on the water with amazing views and easy beach access! It was fully stocked with everything you could need for bathroom, kitchen, and beach equipment. The check in and check out process was so simple, and the host was very responsive when we had questions throughout our stay. The condo was one of the cleanest places I have ever rented. It’s also a great location, as it is near food carts, a boardwalk along the beach, and a local grocery store. We loved our stay and would 100% recommend renting here!

I stayed here with my two teen children (18 and 20) for a week in July 2022. This condo has everything you need. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and small cooler to take to the beach. The views from the lanai were amazing. The Ka'Anapali Beachwalk starts right next door and is an easy 5 minute walk. Check in was easy and communication with the owner was seamless. We didn't use the grills at the pool, but appreciated that they were there. We stopped at Costco by the airport after picking up the rental car so had food for breakfasts and lunches all week then went out for dinners. Maui was amazing and I hope to get back again. Would definitely stay here a second time.

My family and I just finished our stay at Maui Kai. This condo was absolutely amazing.
It’s not only centrally located in Kaanapali, with so many local businesses within walking distance, but the actual unit and building have everything you could want. The condo was extremely clean upon arrival and the kitchen had everything we needed for our week-long stay. The ocean view from the lanai was incredible. For the moments when it was warm, the AC cooled us down quickly. The condo also gave us access to free parking throughout our stay and also entry to the building pool which was wonderful. The beach was directly in front of the building.
Finally, our communication with the condo owners before and during our stay was perfect. Gaspare replied very quickly and answered all of our questions.
We recommend this condo to anyone thinking of visiting Maui. Enjoy!

We loved this place. We have always stayed in Ka’anaapali area and we were so happy to find this gem. You open the big windows and it’s like you’re above the ocean. We saw turtles swimming right outside while we ate lunch. It was clean, check in was beyond easy, and the hosts are so communicative and sweet.
In sum, perfect place and location, stupid gorgeous ocean views, and lovely hosts. We will definitely be staying here again!

We just loved this condo. It was a short walk to the boardwalk, restaurants, grocery store and great food truck park. Condo was right on the ocean and we spent hours on the beautiful lanai overlooking the surf. We saw whales, sea turtles, dolphins and monk seal from the lanai.
The condo was super clean, kitchen well stocked, bed very comfy and all kinds of beach stuff. The owner and condo staff were accessible and easy to work with.
We hope to get a chance to come back

It was like home away from home. The unit was great and also on a good location. It has all the stuff needed to spend time at the beach like umbrella, mats and bogey boards. It even has binoculars so we were able to watch whales from the lanai. Gaspare was a great host in communicating instructions for the unit. Overall, thumbs up and hope to back soon.

There are not enough words to describe how great this place is! We enjoyed watching the whales off the lanai, we enjoyed all the amenities, we enjoyed listening to the waves, and we enjoyed the location.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the condo. It is in the best location we have ever stayed in Maui, quiet, very clean & well stocked with kitchen & bath amenities. Also Gaspare responded to me immediately when I told him we had a bit of an issue with a faucet valve leaking. A plumber was there the same day and all was fixed!!!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation. We will definitely be telling our friends and family about you!!!

A bright spacious unit in the best location. You can't get any closer to the ocean than this. And the double glass doors ensure the waves aren't too loud at night. Watched whales, dolphins, and surfers from the lanai. The quiet, secluded pool and barbecue area was a pleasant surprise. Will be back.

My partner and I stayed here for a week and felt totally at home. It is beautifully-decorated, with everything you could really want or need. The view from the lanai is EVERYTHING - you could lose yourself for hours just watching the waves, kayakers, and whales (during this season). It also has a less-commercial and more homey feel than some of the huge resorts, which we really love.

The little touches like having the pull out couch bed set up for our kids when we arrived were perfect and made a difference. The location was central to all of our activities and helped make this the perfect family vacation. We will miss sitting on the lanai drinking our morning coffee and listening to the waves crash.
