About as close to the water as one could be...with turtle and whale sightings daily.Clean, bright property with a wonderful little kitchen. Couldn't have been happier!

Stan's property is outstanding. The view took our breath away—great space to have everything you need.The sunsets were unspeakable. I don't believe we could have this experience in any other state.We have a home in Myrtle Beach on the Ocean, and this space is even more beautiful.

If you enjoy falling asleep to waves crashing against the rocks 20' from your lanai, beach access 50' away, being less than 3 blocks from the food truck court or staying in a low traffic & quiet location, then this place is for you! Walking distance to so many things! Studio condo has more than enough space with the lanai being larger than expected to watch the beautiful sunsets from. Has all the necessities with ample dishes, silverware, etc. Heck, they even had a chip clip when I needed it! Community pool/hot tub area requires room card access (nice feature), VERY clean, and was pretty decent size. Pool area also included access to 3 full size gas grills, cornhole boards, decent book inventory, huge TV (can watch from pool/hot tub) and about 15 lounge chairs for sun bathing. If you end up staying here, say hi to Stanley and Ruth; what we named the two sea turtles that we saw swimming in the ocean EVERY day from the lanai. Seeing whales breach in the distance was a nice little bonus too!

Everything was very accurate about the property and room. It was perfect for my wife and I for part of our Hawaiian Honeymoon. One down side the AC wasn’t powerful and it took a while to cool the room but everything else was great.

My husband and I stayed here while we got married in Maui and it was breathtaking the moment we walked in. The check in was easy, the view is AMAZING. Nothing like sleeping to the waves. Lots of food and things walkable from this spot. Snorkeling right outside our room, saw turtles, sting rays and lots of fish. Best sunsets on the island. We will be back!! Mahalo!

Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful studio! Our hosts also left the most beautiful keepsake for us that came with a truly sweet handwritten note. We had everything we needed and more, easy to park, gorgeous lanai where we could watch sea turtles every morning. Will definitely come back as soon as we can. Thank you!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing! We felt so welcomed with a beautiful sunset our first night we stayed and they continued throughout the week! Very cute and thought the condo came with a well stocked kitchen. Located within short walking distance of Honoapiilani Food Truck Park, which was tasty and made for an easy dinner.

My husband and I stayed at Stan's place after a week in our Ka'anapali timeshare. We loved being on the ground floor and having a great view of the water. The condo had everything we needed and plenty of room. We enjoyed walking to the food truck park to pick up dinner or going to the fish market just down the road. I love walking the beach every day, and it was so easy to do from this condo. The sound of the waves helped us to go to sleep each night. We definitely plan to stay here again!
May 2024
Had a wonderful stay in this beautiful room. Listening to the waves right outside the room is so relaxing. The view right from the lanai is unbelievable!

After reading the reviews, I was skeptical that this place would be up to expectations, but it actually delivered! We thought we couldn't do any better after 2 glorious weeks at Westin ORV, but Stan was able to allow us in early (no waiting around between vacation spots) and the suite was wonderful - fully stocked better than our kitchen at home! The view and surf are amazing of course, but having all the amenities AND some peace and quiet away from all the people Maui tends to bring, now THAT was worth every penny! What a fantastic way to unwind after all the site-seeing around the island! And thank you Stan for allowing us to stay a little longer at the end so we wouldn't be homeless for too long before our late night flight. My wife really didn't want to ever leave!

We couldn’t be happier with our stay! Stan’s place has the best view you could possibly ask for. While the island has much to offer, some of our most memorable moments during our trip were sitting on the lanai every morning watching the whales and drinking our coffee! The location was safe, clean, private, and absolutely perfect. If you’re reading this review - just book this place already.

This is a beautiful property that is directly ocean front with unobstructed viewing. The unit was clean and fully updated and had most kitchen items except a cocktail shaker and a pasta strainer if you plan to eat in. Honestly we loved staying there and can't wait to go back. During whale season, which we were there for, you can watch them from the lanai, absolutely stunning.

This was an excellent property with a fabulous view! We could see whales out every morning and just steps to the beach and a lovely beach path. The kitchen was well equipped, and the studio was very efficient and functional. We enjoyed our stay greatly, and would definitely consider coming back again. The owner and the property manager and office staff were all friendly—fabulous! The cabana with the pool and hot tub was clean, and lovely!also. Overall just an outstanding place to stay!

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was wonderful. The check-in process was easy, the room was clean, and the location was wonderful. The facilities at this place are great, we went in the hot tub and pool every night we were there. It was also convenient that they had a washer/dryer (coin operated) on almost every floor. I would highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay! We were gone most of the time during the day because the rest of the family was staying nearby. We would come back and have a nice place to relax in the evenings and leisurely mornings watching the whales. Perfect!

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!!

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.

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.

July 2023
It was our first stay in Maui, and we couldn’t ask for a better one. The condo was clean and stocked with everything you’d need, the beach was just a short walk off the lanai. And the view from the room was breathtaking. We watched sun set every night. We were also surprised by the cabana by the pool that had a game room for all ages and full kitchen, which is very convenient if you want to cook by the pool after a long day. Thought I’d mention that because I look to reviews to help book my stays. Over all we couldn’t ask for a better place to stay (: thank you for having us we will be back!

The condo is amazing. Don’t wast your money on snorkeling excursions. You can snorkel right next to the condo. We even got to snorkel next to a pair of turtles. We got to see dolphins and turtles from our balcony in the morning.

As presented in listing. Great location at north end of Kaannapali Beach with walking access to food trucks, grocery, restaurants, and not far from whalers village and Lahainna (my spellings may be off). property is clean and provides fantastic ocean view and easy access to all West Maui has to offer.

We had a lovely stay at this condo and it made the perfect place for our first visit to Maui. The condo is right on the beach/water. It’s very convenient to basically anything you want to do in Maui- Haleakala, Road to Hana, Front Street, most any beach. We’d stay here again.

Our stay was lovely but the best part by far was the incredible ocean front view! Ill miss hearing the waves and sitting out on the lanai. Stan was a great host and I really appreciate his communication and easy check in process even though we arrived late! Would definitely stay again

No complaints.. not a one. Property was perfectly clean, location was awesome - lovely beach next door, in close proximity to other great beaches. Food truck lot 100 yards away or so was great for quick meal. Everything we needed was there, just a great stay at a reasonable price compared to what I think are gouging local hotels in same area.
Even saw a whale last evening before sunset - in May, when all whales supposed to be gone. Thanks so much, hope to be back!

We loved this property! Hubs and I are finally traveling without kids and loved our first time visit to Maui for nine days. The grounds are beautiful and the condo building is in great shape; super clean. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool area with a great cabana that included a full kitchen inside and outdoor BBQs with covered seating. So peaceful and quiet, we didn't see any young kids during our time. The studio amenities are top notch; Stanley and company have thought of everything! Fully stocked kitchen, coolers for the beach, lots of hangars, super comfy king bed, beautiful interiors, and binoculars to watch the whales (we enjoyed watching them on two different days!) We sat on the lanai every morning but it did take us a bit getting used to people walking by on the boardwalk at eye level but within a day or two we just embraced smiling and saying Aloha to passersby. The communication during reserving was stellar and checkin was a breeze. We would without a doubt reserve this unit again.

Perfect location, outstanding accommodations, everything you need in the kitchen to cook your own meals. The view from the balcony is perfect for whale watching and turtle spotting along the shore. Access to the beach walk allows you to take in three miles of coast on a walk. A supermarket is minutes walking distance, snorkeling location 9 to 13 minutes away, or right out in the back of the unit. In the evening, don't forget to pull the blinds passersby can peak into the unit, not a big deal. Be careful with the bed posts, I kicked them several times and it left a good reminder of Maui, lol. We used the grill several times, and I was impressed as to how clean and in good working order they are. The pool area is very clean and the pool house has all the amenities you need to enjoy the outside all day.
Great place, we can't wait to return.

We stayed here for 3 days in March. The condo is perfect. The location is great. We were able to watch whales from the lanai, soak up some sun and meet really nice people at the pool, and have some great meals within walking distance. Condo has everything you could possibly need: super comfy bed, beach items, well stocked kitchen, and plenty of parking.

We loved everything about this property because it was exceptionally equipped with everhing you could ever need in the kitchen, great waterfront views for whal, turtle and dolphin watching. You really can't get any closer to the water... Almost feels like you're on the water . The only slight downside is you won't have complete privacy because there is a walkway in front of the ground floor lanai where people pass by from time to time. Other than that, this place is awesome.

The place was amazing! The location was great with lots to eat and things to do all near by. The beach was just a min walk a door down and the pool was also great! We are not big on eating out all the time so we loved having the kitchen and it had everything needed for us to cook breakfast and dinner. We even grilled steaks on the bbq by the pool for dinner one night. With the amazing view you have right there at your fingertips it seemed silly to even go out for a nice dinner. Definitely would come back, highly recommend!

We were really satisfied during our stay at this condo. Very Beautiful and romantic place to stay. Walking distance to the beach. Pool and Hot tub very well maintained property.
Our condo was very clean, remodeled and updated furniture. The decor and design were spot on for beach theme.
It had all the appliances one would need (kitchen, microwave, fridge, A/C, Beach chair, towels, beach bag, coolers). Definitely coming back again to same place. The communication with the owner was on time in response and very friendly. Even the staff at front office were helpful and changed our towels when we asked for on the same day. Very close to town, shopping, coffee shops by foot or car.
Overall a great place to stay for a couple with ocean view condo with all the amenities needed to stay at this condo.

This property is right over the ocean and you hear the waves and see the gorgeous ocean from the unit. Stan was wonderful to us as the people who were in the unit had COVID and he had to locate another unit for us to stay in. He was very responsive and caring, understanding how important the place we are staying in is to make our Maui experience special. While a bit dated, the units are clean and comfortable. I like having a kitchen to keep food in so we don't have to eat out all the time. The unit is located in a populated area with lots of reasonable places to eat out and a grocery story right near by. Thanks, Stan and Penny, for a wonderful stay.

My husband and I came to Hawaii for our belated honeymoon. I “must” for me was being on the water or waking up and seeing it, and boy, did this place deliver! It was spacious enough, BEAUTIFUL view, clean, and close enough to Lahaina. I honestly am so pleased and the pictures and description don’t do this place justice. Not if, but when I come back to Maui, I plan to stay in this same spot 😎 Mahalo!🤙🏼

This property is private enough that you have your own space but still right in the heart of activity. Directly on the shore line. Views were breathtaking. Sunsets especially. Likely experienced 50 plus whale sightings every day from the veranda. Owner and management were very helpful and we really needed nothing.

This was our first trip since 2020 and the post Covid 19 lockdown on travel. We were dreaming of sitting on this lanai and watching the sunset and we were so happy that it did not disappoint. The place was very clean, well appointed and the bed was super comfortable! One small thing that would make it over the top for us is if there were two beach chairs and an umbrella that we could use for our beach excursions.
We can’t wait until our next trip to Maui!

We had a lovely time---the property is clean, and well-stocked. We had no problem making breakfast with the unit's amenities in the kitchen. AC worked well, and bed was comfortable.
Normally, I'd give 5 stars but I'm compelled to share two things with travelers. 1. The property is oceanfront, but not beachfront. The unit (and majority of the complex) does not have a beach in front of it. It is mostly rocks, and requires a 200-yard walk over a few rocks and along a small strip of sand to a bigger beach where you can actually lay down a towel and sunbathe.
2. The unit itself is on the first floor, and there is a lot of foot traffic past the unit's lanai---like, a lot. We had approximately 15-20 people in the morning, and approximately the same at sunset. Some are friendly, and some take the opportunity to peer into the condo as they walk by. It is not private. (Although there are solid blackout curtains available--- we just had hoped to watch the sunset without the foot traffic in front.) We didn't look closely at the pictures to realize that there is a walkway directly in front of the unit on the oceanside of the property.
Otherwise, it was lovely, and the unit was well-maintained.

This condo was perfect for my boyfriend and I. We stayed three nights here on a two week vacation in Hawaii and wish we booked more nights at this property! The view from the balcony is unbeatable and the room itself is perfect for a couple. Reading a few stories in the guestbook was also so enjoyable, people come from all over to stay at that place. Next time we’re in Hawaii we’ll definitely be booking this property again! Thank you!

Thank you for having us, we had a great stay! The place was clean & the view was excellent. We truly enjoyed listening to the waves as we went to sleep & staying out in the lanai in the morning having our breakfast. We left 2 floating noodles in the closet for the other guest to enjoy. We used it for snorkeling but didn't have room in our luggage for them.

The check in process was strange, the office was supposed to be open because it was during open hours, but nobody was there. It was pretty simple, but just not what we expected. The place itself was incredible! Great space and location. Within walking distance to the beach next door, to the grocery store, food trucks, and about a 10 minute drive up or down the coast to awesome beaches, food, and shopping. Would absolutely stay here again!!!

The Lanai is amazing to sit and watch the sunrise and sunset. Definitely enjoy the beach to the north of the complex short walking distance and clean sandy beach. Close to the famous Lahaina front street and whalers village. The hosts were very helpful and communication was timely. Definitely recommend and would come back!
