As frequent visitors to Hawaii, we fell in love with this little stretch of Maui. It offers the best of a Hawaiian island getaway! Our condo is part of the Mana Kai Resort, where people have returned year after year for two generations. It is located right on what many consider to be one of the best beaches in Maui. From the lanai (balcony), enjoy the sound of the waves and the panoramic view of miles of blue ocean, golden sand beach, palm trees, Molokini, Lanai, and Haleakala.

We are located in Beautiful South Maui, far from the recent fires in West Maui. South Maui offers Wailea, Makena, Big Beach, Molokini, surf lessons, golf, snorkeling, SUP, kayaks, whale watching (seasonal), great restaurants, and shopping. Travel to Paia, Hana, and Haleakala. Many different boat tours are available, including Molokini and Lanai.

Our condo underwent a full floor-to-ceiling renovation completed in December 2022! Come stay in our freshly updated unit! Besides all new cabinetry, flooring, appliances, and furniture, we improved our Wi-Fi connectivity and upgraded the TVs and sound system. New air conditioning installed in 2021.

A new addition to the resort is "808 Deli and General Store" which offers many of the popular freshly made food items from their flagship Kihei store as well as convenience items. The Five Palms Restaurant is closed. The space will be renovated to welcome a new restaurant which will be part of the Merriman's family of restaurants.

Please look through the photos above. Hopefully, the pictures are worth a thousand words! Now for the details:

• The entire condo is 762 sq. feet
• Bedroom One is really a studio apartment with a sleeping area with a King size bed, living room, full bath, and kitchen. It functions wonderfully as a “great room” during the day. At night, we love falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves with the sliding glass doors open. It is 604 sq. feet.
• Bedroom Two definitely offers privacy from the main living area. It is 210 sq. feet. It has its own full bathroom and TV. It can be made up as two twin beds OR as one King-size bed, BUT NOT BOTH. It has its own air conditioning unit and thermostat. Through the large windows enjoy the striking view of the ocean and west Maui. The picture windows do have a mirrored, reflective coating on them, however, in full disclosure, under certain lighting conditions, it is possible for people walking by to see into the room. Floor-to-ceiling drapes easily provide privacy when needed.
• The living room has a full-size sofa bed. TV's in the living room and the second bedroom have been upgraded with streaming and screen mirroring services. Wifi connectivity has been greatly improved within our unit and Wifi is free.
. A full kitchen ready for preparing and serving your own meals.

Couples have told us that although they didn’t need two bedrooms, they sure appreciated having them. Here are some of the benefits they mentioned:

• A separate workspace for making early morning calls to the mainland without disrupting the other person.
• A separate space for one person to be up and about when their “sleep cycle” doesn't match their partner's. This can be even more common with jetlag for the first few days.
• The convenience of two bathrooms.

Maximum Occupancy is for five.

If you are looking for fun in the sand, surf, and sun, then you are in the right place:
• Plenty of chaise lounges to use on the grassy area, or head to the beach with our folding chairs and umbrellas.
• Great snorkeling just steps away
• Boogie boarding and swimming
• Rent kayaks and SUP’s on-site as well as other gear
• Take a dip and hang out at the saltwater pool
• Walk along the beach for miles in either direction
• Enjoy open-air, oceanview dining from the onsite restaurant. (Closing for renovation April 2022)
• Explore tide pools
• Attend a yoga class. There is a studio on-site.
• BBQ'ing
• Take in an amazing sunset, and then watch the stars come out

We loved staying right in the beach and enjoyed the view from the balcony. We spotted whales and dolphins in the distance most days, and saw turtles when we snorkelled in front of the building. The condo is lovely and we appreciated the twin beds and bathroom in the second room for our kids.

Great multifunctional location, in the middle of everything: - you can go to the beach few times a day, for different activities - morning and evening beach walks - drive one way to Wailea and Makena beaches and shops - drive another way to Kihei gift shops - or watch all around from lanai Own kitchen gives you freedom from the restaurants, to eat what you want. Overall impression is way better than in Fairmont at the end of the road, few years ago, although it was good too.

Facility is convenient and well-maintained. On-site staff was friendly. Mary provides helpful planning resources and great recommendations. Highly recommend and would return!

We loved our stay! The space was amazing and it was a great location right on a very nice beach. It had a wonderful ocean view and right in front of the resort was also a good place to snorkel. There were five of us total and we were very comfortable in the space. Mary was an awesome host to work with. I would highly recommend it!

Mary was an excellent communicator and timely answered all questions. Property is perfect! Looks over a beach with nice coral for snorkeling. 4min drive to shopping and tons of food and coffee. Sunset on the property lawn never disappointed! Hope to stay here again!

Beautiful views and easy access to beaches and local spots. If you enjoy the beach, this is the place. Mary was also super helpful, quick to respond and we were greeted with a very thoughtful welcome package. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here for our girls trip. We were greeted with amazing sunrises in the morning and sunsets in the evening as well as turtles! Lots of turtles right there while swimming. Definitely want to go back and would stay here.

The condo itself is beautifully remodeled, well stocked, very clean and management is excellent. The location is absolutely perfect. I’ve been to Maui five times and the Mana Kai’s location is my favorite : the very best beach coupled with the proximity to restaurants and shops.

We had a wonderful time here in Kihei and the condo was perfect! The condo had everything you could ask for, the view was beyond amazing, the amenities were great, and we loved having all of the beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards.

I use to come here as a kid when my parents would take us. I now enjoyed taking my wife and son to enjoy this location. It has a great view of the ocean and steps away from A beautiful beach.

A very nice property. We appreciated that the condo had the essentials such as coffee filters, paper towels and spices in the kitchen. There were great beds and nice furnishings. Everything was very clean. There was also beach gear such as towels, umbrellas and beach chairs. The view from the balcony looked up a long stretch of a beautiful beach. Sea turtles in the water and a fabulous sunset at night. Loved the condo and would stay there again.

This was the perfect vacation for myself, my husband and my two adult daughters! The location was spectacular. The unit was perfect in that both sides of the condo have beautiful ocean views! Our room was set up to look at the view from the back of the building and our daughters room was up as two twin beds so they could sleep better (this is an option for the room)! We loved being able to walk out of the building and be right on a beautiful lawn area that was right next to the beach. The pool was also right out the building. Everything you need is right on property. There is a convenience store, a rental shop for paddle boards, kayaks, and etc., and a concierge. There is also a restaurant, which we did not actually try, 5 Palms, but was packed every night of the week. Mary, the property owner/manager, was amazing! She responded to all issues, inquiries, and communications that I had immediately! She was friendly and professional! Her unit had everything that we needed for our stay! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils and all kinds of kitchen accoutrements! There were beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, etc. Everything was clean and tidy! I would highly recommend a stay here! We will be back!

Great location. Great value. Spectacular beach. Super responsive owner before, during, and after our stay. We have found the beaches on the south side of the island to be our favorites. Would return in a second.

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay, it truly exceeded our expectations! The location of this condo is simply fantastic, right on the most fabulous beach! The condo is clean and beautiful and the amenities/services on the property are so convenient. We expected to do more exploring of the island during our stay but we were so happy where we were that we hardly ventured anywhere else. Our host was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Mary, we can't wait to come back!
