Have stayed at Maui Kai many times but first time in 201. We were intrigued by the roof top lanai, and it didn’t disappoint. Amazing views of Molokai and Lanai. Beach in front an excellent snorkeling area. Unit with a good supply of ocean gear to enjoy on the beach. Condo airy and bright and well appointed. Will stay here again.

Incredible views, incredible location! We did not swim on the beach (high tide) or use the pool more than once (spa is nice and warm!) and spent most of our time in the place on the lanai with binoculars spotting whales. Great communication when needed and smooth and easy checkin and checkout process. Highly recommend!

This condo is incredible. The photos are accurate. It is right over the water with views. Our toaster broke the first day and we had a replacement that day! The only reason we can’t give it a 5 star rating is the air conditioning. It needs to be replaced. You cannot sleep with it on because it rattles and is so loud in the bedroom. We were even sleeping with ear plugs! So every night we slept with the doors open and one window in the bedroom. Quite loud! This is our second time staying in this building. The Java Jazz bar has great food and is close by as is the farmer’s market. Love the condo but if you are a light sleeper you will struggle sleeping.

Property was exactly as expected. Everything we needed. Outstanding views, sat on the deck for hours. All amenities within walking distance. Miles of beach and fantastic snorkelling. Highly recommended. We will rent again.

We were in corner apartment with a private balcony looking down on a quiet beach with a coral reef and out across the channel toward Lanai and Molokai. Whales spouted, turtles popped their heads up, and an endangered Monk seal hauled up on the sand for a snooze on the beach. We were delighted!

This condo is small, poorly set up, and not kept up. All the furniture needs replacing including the bed. Couldn't find a comfortable chair inside or out. The utensils, plates, and cookware is cheap and not equal to the nightly price. The picture window has the seal broken so you can't clearly see the view from the breakfast table. We will not be coming back.

Beautiful and amazing Ocean front condo. Sounds of waves were memorizing.

Amazing stay at an amazing property. Top quality snorkeling outside the front door. Condo is top notch. Loved every minute and have booked a return visit.

Great condo with beautiful views. Close to many beaches and activities. Pool was rarely crowded after a day on the beach. Near great walking path and easy walk to grocery store. Having chairs, umbrella and cooler was great for beach trips. Though not whale season while we were there, this would be awesome condo to view the whales- we did however see turtles right below us and spinner dolphin pods go by. Great condo!

We could not have picked a better location for our wedding anniversary. The view is phenomenal, the location is perfect and the property has everything you need. Very quiet, except for waves crashing against the shore...which is great.

What a beautiful location, don’t let the fact that there isn’t a beach right out front, if you take a left at the waterfront there are some beautiful swimmable beaches. The beach-walk is easily accessed via a shortcut through a gate. Loved all my morning walks. Condo was so clean and well appointed, bed was comfortable and you’ll be amazed at the view from the lanai. We were treated to a unique and awe inspiring sunset each and every night!
Thanks for a wonderful place to lay our heads at the end of each day.

This is a beautiful property. So comfortable that we preferred to cook in or bring food in and. sit on the water for a relaxing meal away from others. Lovely shade to read or visit, and beautiful sunsets.

This was a pleasant place to stay. It was very comfortable and nicely appointed. Despite being there late in the whale season, we still saw spouts and breaches. The sunsets were as you'd hope for. Beaches are nearby - driveable. If you don't like to cook but don't want to go out for a sit-down dinner, food trucks are within walking distance. Previous vacationers pointed out the noisy air conditioner... It's REALLY bad. If you're a light sleeper, it may keep you awake. The bass rumble is more than a rumble -- and when it shuts off occasionally, the silence is even more deafening. Not sure what the owner can do about it. One other thing the owner can't do anything about -- the glowing lamp on the side of the neighboring building that lights the interior of the condo despite blinds on the window... It's simply ghastly light pollution that's nearly intolerable.

Our favorite part of vacationing in Maui in watching whales jump from the lanai. By the second day I had to stop saying, "Whale, straight out" because it had already become too repetitive. Kitchen is well stocked with an great prep space on the island if you choose to cook. Beach equipment is provided in the closet. Cleaning supplies all on hand and easily accessed. There are hooks everywhere, both indoors and out, which I really appreciated for purses, towels, suits, etc.
While we had a car, I feel you could easily stay here without one. We walked to several nearby places for breakfasts, visiting neighboring resort restaurants for lunch and happy hours, and walked to the food trucks most nights. We snorkeled both to the North and the South with success.

We loved staying in this unit! It was spacious for the two of us, nicely updated, great location, and the views were spectacular. Also loved that they provided beach chairs and equipment. They had everything we needed and views of a lifetime. Very happy with our stay

Excellent view, location, cleanliness, well stocked, and very easy to work with owner(s), as well as management. I can’t say enough about the view. We visit the Hawaiian islands often, and we can say this was the best view we’ve ever had. Lots of whales, and a 180 view, directly between Lanai and Molokai. Wow!!! Will stay here again with no hesitation.

We had a wonderful time here. The condo was beautiful and very well maintained. The location was great as well. Within walking distance of a supermarket and several restaurants as well as the food truck court. The best part, though, was the view. Beautiful view of both Lanai and Molokai. Saw several whales from the balcony which was a pleasant surprise as it was a little early in the whale season.
I highly recommend this condo.

This property was excellent .. The only down side would
be the age of the furniture .. Since the unit was remodeled
I would love to see the furniture updated also.

Great and enjoyable experience. It was comfortable and clean as we really enjoyed the views, location and practical layout for a couple. The customer service was responsive. I would like to stay here again!

Amazing view! A bit harder to get to nice, useable beach than we anticipated (about a 5 min drive), but walking distance to a great boardwalk for morning walks!!

This is certainly one of the best, if not the best rental at Maui Kai. While the Maui Kai is one of the older properties in the area, the property owners association does a great job of keeping the grounds looking great. The owner of unit 601 has also done a good job of modernizing this unit. You won't find popcorn ceilings, cheesy wallpaper or tired carpeting here. Everything has been refreshed. The kitchen has new appliances that work well. The television is a modern flatscreen with streaming capability and AirPlay built in. The WiFi is fast and consistent. All of that may not matter as this condo is all about that view. Having the corner deck and the huge window wall that opens three panels wide was amazing. We spent huge amounts of time on the balcony and took a lifetimes worth of quality sunset photos. The condo is very well equipped, including beach towels, beach chairs, 2 decent boogie boards and two sets of snorkel gear.
There are a few things to know. The AC unit works great but it is loud. We couldn't sleep with it on. Fortunately it was a windy week so we could leave the bedroom window open at night. Some of the living room furniture needs updating.
Lastly, it's obvious that the beach in front of Maui Kai has eroded. For our trip, we found that the northern portion of North Kaanapali Beach has also seen erosion. There's quite a bit of exposed reef, which makes swimming and boogie boarding not so pleasant. It starts getting better as you get past Honua Kai. So be prepared to walk or drive a bit for a better swimming beach.

The title says it all, this place is absolutely amazing! The condo was exactly as described, it had everything you might need (and then some), was super clean, is in an awesome location and the views….there are just no words to describe how unbelievable they are! We would not hesitate to stay here again and just hope it’s available when we plan our next trip.😊

The owners of this condo have thought of everything! The renovation is simply luxurious. There is a view from every room. The backpack beach chairs were of great importance to us and truly appreciated. We noticed there were no dish towels. I notified Guest Management, and the towels were delivered that same day. Such accommodating service! The little table at the lanai door was helpful when going out to eat on the lanai, the Maui Paradise note paper came in handy, the bed sheets were soft and comfortable (ladies I recommend sleeping on the right side of the bed. The left side sags a bit), the many power outlets for iPad's and cell phones, etc., useful. All these details, and many more, made for a relaxing, enjoyable, wonderful, private vacation. We could have stayed more than our 16 nights!

This property is absolutely perfect. My husband and I loved our stay. The deck was by far our favorite part of the condo. We ate each meal out there and enjoyed the sounds of the waves.
This condo has everything you could need during your stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with appliances and cooking utensils. The bedroom was a great size and the bed was comfy. It even had beach chairs and a cooler that we used each day. They were lifesavers.
All and all I would definitely recommend staying here. My husband and I hop to come back soon. Our favorite beach was just a 10 minute walk down the boardwalk. It had great snorkeling and sand.

Booked this property for short trip to attend a wedding. Did not disappoint from the photos in the listing. Great location with views of Molokai, Lanai and the ocean. Unit has all modern amenities and is very comfortable. Our visit was during a heat wave and the A/C unit worked awesome and kept us comfortable. Everything you need is in walking distance of the condo. Would book this unit again.

We absolutely loved the condo, and lanai! The condo was furnished well. The kitchen had everything we needed. They provided a generous starter package of toiletries, paper products, & soaps.
The only negative, the couch was very uncomfortable. But who goes to Maui to worry about a couch!
Everything was wonderful, the place is gorgeous, and the views, right on the water!

This was a great place to stay. We enjoyed watching dolphins off the deck and found the condo to have thoughtful toughes and everything we could need from boggie boards to binoculars.

We both enoyed our stay immensely.. had a glitch on arrival as we look for key in keybox only to realize the card key was pressed against back of holder. This building Centrally located.with nice breakfast and lunch places right down street. Con: no beach . Bedroom doesn't get very cold due to a "return"being next to the ac blower vent which causes the cold air to pretty much get sucked right back into the return vent. Way to many Pros to list and would def recommend to others.

I had a hard time leaving the condo. We saw so many whales from the comfort of the condo with amazing breezes I didnt want to move or go anywhere. I was told whale season is amazing, but I had no idea it would be so amazing to see them so close. You feel like youre on a boat the condo is so close to the water and the corner view is amazing. Cannot wait to come back!

As with most Maui condo's it is an older residence, but not of the size of the Marriots, Hiltons so it was very enjoyable. The site photos are what you get. The views are amazing and you could almost - up 6 stories - dangle your feet in the water. Centrally located to lots of activities. There is the TImes market directly across the street, some small eateries, and 10 food trucks located on what looks to be a permanent basis with lighting and picnic tables for dining.
The unit itself is perfect for a couple or a couple with a young adult. The unit is well appointed and the beach chairs and snorkeling gear were welcome.
It was a great week, and the views made it most difficult to leave during our stay. We managed to see pods of whales, single swimmers, and new borns learning from their mothers.

Could have been cleaner especially cooktop. Could only use two burners since it smoked badly when trying to use and pans under burner is very very dirty with food and spillage. Otherwise was a great place! When we asked for new linens after The exterminators came in they did to supply brand new sheets and towels the only bad thing was nothing was washed. I don’t expect a place to be exterminated why were staying there. Overall the place could use an update drastically. Rugs have to be very very old

We stayed 5 nights in late September. The condo is fully furnished with everything we needed. The beach chairs and the cooler were great to have for our trips to the beach. The end unit is very nice. The beach is swimmable but not for lounging. It is only a short walk to the end of Kahikili beach. The unit has a/c but does get a little warm in the afternoon with the sun coming in the windows so leave the blinds closed while you are out. They do have a fan that helps. Sunsets were great. We would stay here again.

We Loved this Place!!
Sitting down for Brekkie, watching the waves, the fish & turtles, working out where we were going to go for the day. Going swimming, snorkelling or just going to the onsite pool.
Driving around the beautiful island, then coming home to sit on our Lanai to watch the sun go down with a cold drink.
Well laid out unit we were very comfortable my only complaint was we had to go home.

This was a truly beautiful place. The condo couldn’t have been nicer. Everything was taken care of for us in a professional manner. To say the view was amazing would be an understatement! One of the best trips I’ve taken in many many years. Thoroughly recommended…

You will fall in love with this condo and never want to leave! Ever! Except, maybe to walk along the shore or explore the island. But that's it! What a fantastic trip. The pictures of this condo do not do it justice. The windowed-corner has the most spectacular view that I could not pull myself away from. So serene and calming! I was beyond happy with my choice to stay here, and will be back at the first opportunity!

Unbelievable location! We were in 601 - I don't think anyone in Hawaii had better views than us. Used the kitchen big time! Excellent place to just "chill" and enjoy the breeze and the sea...Saw manta rays and turtles from our window....

The view from this property is amazing. You cannot get any closer to the sea. The property does not have a direct beach outside and getting to the adjacent beaches is not always easy (tide dependent), but it's worth it. The kitchen is well equipped. There is a permanently locked door within the apartment called the owner's closet, which I personally find disconcerting. All together we had a good stay.
