We just returned from Mana Kai. Mana Kai is still repairing spalling and updating plumbing and they anticipate this will be finished by the end of July 2023. The repair noise was intermittent and occasionally loud, mostly between the hours of 8:20AM and 3:30PM on Monday through Friday. The restaurant renovation is waiting for a permit and is expecting to start in January 2024. Access to the gym and business center is unavailable during this time.

You fly thousands of miles to be at the ocean. So why not stay at this oceanfront condo where you are right on the beach! Many other condos are located across a busy street, a long walk from the Ocean.

Our beachfront condo has a direct ocean view from BOTH bedrooms. (Many units do not have that.) Its 2-bedroom/2-bath condo has one king size bed in master bedroom and two extra-long twin size beds in a second bedroom. We have two-zoned air condition units that cools the entire condo. We also have 4 ceiling fans located in both bedrooms, dining, and living room areas. It has fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, DVD player, safe, and telephone.

Check the available dates on our calendar now. (If your dates are not available, please our other popular oceanfront properties at Royal Mauian, VRBO #390074/HomeAway #987523.)

Mana Kai condo is located at Keawakapu Beach, the southernmost part of Kihei next to Wailea, an upscale resort area, on the dry side of the island. A mile long Keawakapu Beach stretches to Wailea’s Mokapu Beach. It is one of the best swimming beaches in Maui and less crowded than Kihei’s other roadside beaches.

Our condo offers a stellar view of the crescent shaped Keawakapu Beach; and neighboring islands of Kaho’olawe and Molokini; and majestic 10,000 feet high Mt. Haleakala. During the winter, you can enjoy whale watching right from our condo where humpback whales come quite close to the shore.

Mana Kai is a heaven on earth where beautiful ocean and golden beaches are just steps from the condo. On the ground floor of the building, you can have your entertainment booked at an activity desk. 808 Deli is scheduled to open to provide you with grocery and prepared food, as well as variety of drinks. The restaurant/bar is currently undergoing an ownership change and is expected to open in 2023.

Kihei is located on a sunny and dry side of Maui where you can enjoy many activities. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling right outside of the condo with many tropical fish. Go diving near Molokini Island. Dive boats leave from Kihei Boat Ramp. There are championship tennis and golf courses nearby. Many shops and restaurants are in South Kihei and Wailea. Venture out to 10,000 feet high Haleakala for hiking, bicycling, or horseback riding.

This was the perfect spot for our week-long vacation for two adults (friends) and their sons. The condo was well stocked with all the kitchen supplies, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler, boogie board. Host was very helpful with questions prior to our stay. Local contact assisted with one request. Very convenient to Wailea shops & beaches. Highly recommend this! But keep a week free for us to return! Mahalo

The resort exceeded expectations as it was right on the beach and had nice amenities. The on-premise shops were very nice to have. There was great snorkeling directly in front of the resort. We enjoyed walking along the beach and boogie boarding in the ocean. The condo had great views from both the front and the back. The included amenities were nice to have: beach chairs, boogie board, pots, pans, beach towels, soaps. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The only complaint is that when the condo above is occupied, you can hear a lot of noises that sound like furniture getting moved around. I'm guessing it doesn't have carpet so you hear chairs moving around along with doors and dividers opening and closing. Luckily, the condo above was only occupied for less than half the nights we were there.

Without a doubt the Mana Kai is the only place I want to stay at on Maui. I've been coming here for 35 years and have tried different condos and you just can't beat it in my opinion. You have a great beach right outside with amazing snorkeling and sunset viewing. It has a very nice lawn with lawn chairs and a beautiful pool. There's a general store that is now managed by someone who gets it. They have great fresh food and a selection of so many things you either forgot or didn't know you needed like that Roselani ice cream! The rental shop has whatever you need from kayaks, paddle boards, and snorkel gear. There's even a concierge that can book your excursions if you need help. And don't forget orange kitty! So sweet. The unit we choose this time was perfect. It is very well appointed and had everything we needed. Loved not having to rent chairs and umbrellas. And a plus... the sofa bed is comfortable. It is decorated nicely and one of the best locations closer to the beach. Thank you for having us!

Great location. The condo was clean and well equipped for guests wanting to cook. There were maintenance issues. The patio door lock was broken - its on the 4th floor so unlikely to be a port of entry by criminals but it would have felt better if it would lock. There is an electrical outlet on the patio we would have used but it did not work. My big reservation was slow internet speed. We had 2 days of rain when I tried to work. There are 2 radios you can use. The faster of them, that I measured at 20 Mbps was not working and the slower ran at only 1.56 Mbps which is paralytic.

Loved the location, walk right onto the beach from the lobby. Beautiful lawn, ocean view and wave sounds while sleeping. Plus, early morning yoga and market available on property as well. Will stay again!

You won’t find a more incredible stay in Maui. You are literally beachfront/oceanfront, with panoramic ocean views with palm trees from your huge sliding glass doors that open up onto a patio with seating looking down onto the oceanfront and Kweawakapu Beach. The condo is impeccably furnished and kept very clean, with two full bathrooms and full kitchen with everything we needed, including beach chairs and umbrella and cooler to take the few steps down to the beach. The beach is beautiful and perfect for all ages with long stretches great for swimming and boogie boarding, and there is a great reef out front to snorkel at as well. There is also a small store in the hotel itself to pick up all sorts of items and a rental shop for boogie boards and surfing equipment, SUP boards etc. The owners couldn’t be more pleasant and responsive, they checked in with us to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. I will never stay anywhere else in Maui. There is no where else where I am that close to the beach and have the huge beautiful views right from my condo. Amazing!!

Just amazing views and access to the beach. The amenities were all great, and just overall a great stay. It was easy to check in and everything we needed was in the condo. We had great communication with the owner and easy to check in. There was plenty of towels and the appliances all worked well. Would stay again in a heart beat!

Fantastic stay in Unit 405 at the Mana Kai. Communication from the owner was great. The condo was clean and the resort is kept in great condition. Condo is right in the beach with great sunset views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mana Kai. The views, location and beach were amazing! We did have issues with cockroaches and the dishwasher. Every time you’d open the door cockroaches would be on the outside seal. Emailed the housekeeping contact with no response. Overall I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful location, hosts easy to contact , most beautiful beach in all of maui! If you like long walks on a gorgeous beach and swimming in the ocean with great local spots close by this is the place for you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Mana Kai. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for the kitchen, beach, and hanging out. Loved the Tommy Bahama chairs. Made things so much easier with those. The cooler was great for the road to Hana. 2 Pool noodles and we left 2 more..a snorkel set (had my own so didn’t use it)… an umbrella,..and more. Games in case you are stuck inside which we never were! Keawakapu Beach is now one of my favorites. Nice mix of guests and locals who were all friendly and welcoming. We made friends on the lawn and watched the sunset every night. They lit the torches and someone always blows conch shells. People start getting spots to watch around 5. The sunsets are gorgeous and so is the weather. Really enjoyed the south side. Great snorkeling right there at the condo, but make sure you go in the morning if it’s calm. The balcony provides beautiful views and it’s nice to eat out there. The A/C units worked great and I was worried about that. Shampoo, conditioner, ample toilet tissue and a starter paper towels. The General Store at the condo has lots of supplies and laundry pods. The food there is good too. To many things to say about our stay, but I think you can tell we enjoyed ourselves and would stay here again in a heartbeat!! Aloha!

We just returned from our week in paradise and we couldn't be happier with the location that we stayed. The Mana Kai is absolutely fantastic! The beach is AMAZING, the snorkeling off the beach is great, and the tide pools formed by the rock added extra fun for our family. Unit 405 is WONDERFUL! The unit was wonderfully clean when we arrived (we even got to talk to the cleaning staff as we arrived and they are wonderfully nice and even shipped back an item that we forgot in the unit after we left Maui). The view from the unit is breathtaking. I also would like to note that this is THE BEST STOCKED VRBO unit we have ever stayed at! It had everything we needed except for some sand castle toys for our kids, but we bought some at the local store and left them in the closet for the next family that stays here. My kids loved visiting the orange cat that live at the Mana Kai (Meow Meow). I just can't say enough good things about this location and this unit. If you are debating between this unit and another one, this is the one you should choose - hands down!!

Nice condo with gorgeous views of Keawakapu Beach and Sidewalks Beach. This condo had everything you need to enjoy a week away from home. There is a small store on site for snacks or gifts. We would definitely stay at this property again. Thanks!

Came across this property when looking for a place to stay on Maui for a wedding. So glad I did! The view was amazing and the location was great! The communication was perfect, anytime I had a question the property owner answered right away. Would stay here again!

Condo is in a great location to beach and surrounding shops and restaurants. Loved going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the ocean! Staff were always pleasant and helpful. The condo itself was roomy and very well stalked. Laundry located very close to unit and was always available. Appreciate the recycling station as well.

We had the most wonderful family vacation at the Mana Kai Maui Condo. The Owner did a great job of communicating registration and check-in at the property. The email correspondence was very thorough. The Condo itself was as described and well represented by pictures, clean, well maintained, everything we needed for the weeks stay. The direct access to the most beautiful stretch of beach was too perfect! We ate breakfast and lunch on the lanai every day, couldn't get enough of the views. Many restaurants were easy driving distance for dinner. We snorkeled, swam, boogie boarded, built sandcastles, played football and paddle boarded right in front of the property. To top off every day, we had incredible sunsets! Can't wait for another trip to Maui.

This property was wonderful for our low-key Maui vacation. We loved being steps away from the beach and the pool. Nothing beats waking up to the sound of the ocean and a view of Molokini as the sun comes up! Can't wait to stay here again.

Our condo was very comfortable with all of the conveniences. The view was to die for. We listened to the ocean waves every night and sat on the patio enjoying our coffee every morning. I love Maui and it's laid back feeling and the beauty. The host made sure we had all the amenities we needed and had suggestions for restaurants for go to places. Mana Kai is a great Condo location!

Everything was spot on from the description of the property. Being able to walk a few feet to the beach and snorkel with sea turtles without dealing with traffic, parking, crowded beaches and finding potties for the kids - this was perfect!

This was our last destination on our first visit to Maui. We spent a few days in Hana before heading to Kihei. Mana Kai is gorgeous and 405 is amazing. I couldn’t have asked for better. We had everything we needed and then some. Snorkeling is right there and it’s home to a few turtles…huge plus. Keiko and Gaby were both very responsive if needed. I had the best time at Mana Kai. Mahalo for making our vacation so memorable

This place is extremely clean and well maintained. There are lots of pots, pans tipper wear utensils. There was nothing that was lacking in the unit. Beds were comfortable. The view was perfect. Everyone we spoke to said that the Mana Kai is a secret gem.

Location cannot be beat. Property was comfortable for 2 adults and 3 kids, but will be crowded if more than that. Too bad the deli and restaurants are closed, but at least we could not hear the construction. The elevator was under service too, but didn't have to wait long to ride one.

My husband, myself, my teen daughter, and my young daughter all stayed in this condo. We had ample room and there was nothing we lacked for during our stay. We wish we would have booked another week - or month! - in this great property. We will be back again as soon as we can.

We loved everything about this condo. The location couldn't be better. Located in South Kihei, you get a true tropical vibe on this beach. We enjoyed majestic sunrises over Mt. Haleakala right from the balcony. Snorkeling with sea turtles right in front of the condo. The condo was immaculate and the kitchen was fully stocked. HIghly recommend this property!

Everything that was provided as promised! If I get back to Kihei I want to stay here!

Location! Location! Location! This oceanfront condo was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed for our family. 4 COMFORTABLE beach chairs with two umbrellas and a cooler! A kitchen that had everything for making breakfast, lunch or dinner! We rented snorkels for the week on site and the snorkeling at the condo's beach was fantastic. We saw turtles everyday! So many different kinds of fish...everyday except for two were perfectly clear! It's close to the harbor for a sunset cruise and snorkelling cruise. Laundry was just down the hall as well as recycling and trash drop. So easy!! Restaurant was terrific and there was a little general store that had anything that we forgot! Thank you to Keiko for being very responsive and hospitable.

There’s nothing like going to sleep to the sound of waves on the beach. It was delightful! Our view was stunning and the beach walks were amazing. Though the unit was smaller than I had expected and bedroom two was separated from the living area by a screen, we were VERY pleased with the accommodations. I highly recommend it!

Our teenage kids like the beach so much that we really didn't check out other beaches. I think that has a lot to say. The property's nice and is equipped with lots of kitchen stuff which was very handy for us.

This beautiful condo is as advertised. It is situated directly on the beach with a large lanai allowing for incredible sunrise and sunset views each day. The condo is comfortable and well apportioned and excellent for families.

Everything at ManaKai was beautiful. The condo was nicely furnished and very clean. The sounds of the ocean on the Lanai along with the beautiful sunsets were fantastic. Tomekios tips were right on target. We didn’t want to leave & are already planning for another stay!

The view from the balcony is the icing on a yummy cake. The listing description and the photos are VERY accurate. The condo was very clean and had everything you might need to really enjoy the stay. The kitchen was stocked with "tools" to cook and clean whatever you may need. The space was enough to spread out (family of 4) and share. The best part was the access to the beautiful beach. We used the supplied chairs and umbrellas every day. The condo comes with a reserved parking spot (tight fit/small but hardly the owner's fault)--even though one night someone else parked in it (we parked in overflow, so no big deal). Communication with owner was FANTASTIC--always prompt, nice and very helpful. The only awkward aspect was the main bedroom located in the family room area with a weird panel door that really didn't provide privacy (again, not the owner's fault b/c we saw all the units were set up the same way). It didn't detract from our stay at all but worth mentioning for couples who might want some "alone" time! :) The VALUE of what we got from this condo was far and above the prices being charged for hotel rooms in the same area (which didn't guarantee the view we had and didn't have the space/rooms this condo had). We would not hesitate to stay here again--in fact, we wouldn't look anywhere else in Kihei. Thanks Tomoko!

Stayed at the Mana Kai many times over last 6-7 years as we visit our daughter and grandchildren. Love being right on the beach and enjoy the lawn as well, but this was our least favorite unit that we rented. Carpets throughout unit were dirty and stained and the metal component above the entrance door was broken when we arrived. I called to let the contact person know about the door and had it looked at and repaired pretty quickly. I was not notified that the maintenance person was coming and the Mana Kai staff member just let him in without knocking and announcing they were coming into the unit and I was only half dressed. I found this to be rude and inappropriate.

Spent one week at this lovely condo on the water and with views to die for. Great location, morning walks on the beach are just delightful. Surprising how nice the reef in-front of the Mana Kai is and if your looking for easy access and turtles to see this is the spot. Our host was very helpful, just an outstanding stay.

This is one of the best places to stay in Hawaii. Everything is right there. The condo is very comfortable and you have a pool, beautiful beach, general store, equipment rental all right there. The view from the condo is priceless and the sound of the ocean at night is so peaceful and relaxing. Snorkeling at this property is excellent also. It's just perfect!!!

This property was amazing!!! My husband and I stayed for 10 days with our two children ages 17 and 21 and we did not want to come home. For the price of the property, it was perfect. The condo was right on the beach and staff was great. The beach at the condo is loved by the locals. We met some great locals while in town that gave us pointers about things to see and do. Also, a mile down the beach are the very expensive resorts and this condo's location was so much better. We snorkeled almost every day at the condo and saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish. We witnessed about five weddings and an Hawaiian memorial service. It was close to the airport and all of the activities we booked. The town of Kihei was a perfect spot for lunches, dinners, and souvenirs. I cannot wait to go back some day. I would 100% recommend the condo. The owners were very responsive and organized. The condo has everything you need for your stay.
