Perfect location on calm beach next to park. Unit was clean and exactly as advertised. Fully equipped kitchen and plenty of linens for our stay. Very happy and would book again!

Stayed 5 nights in April and spent the majority of our time on the lanai and occasionally having a dip in the ocean. Spotted a few whales and turtles during the day and cute little ghost crabs making their burrows at night. Did not actually use the kitchen or pool but both looked nice. Found a blender for some fun frozen drinks and laundry facilities onsite were handy. Was not prepared for the seemingly lack of privacy with all the open windows. However, the trade off of hearing the neighbors 24/7 was also being lulled to sleep by the waves and waking up to the beach. Mahalo

Optimal view. Very much enjoyed sitting out on the deck and watching whales, turtles, and a school of dolphins. Even a seal one morning. Something for everyone— snorkeling, pool, looking for sea glass, and booger boarding. Condo was very comfortable and clean

Fantastic experience. View is unbeatable. Fell asleep to the waves every night. Saw whales breaching from the Lanai. Easy short drive to Lahaina and Kapalua and great nearby amenities like Pau Bakery and Bad *** Coffee. The pool and BBQ are pretty wanky and there is no spa, but the unit was clean and well maintained. There are laundry facilities if you need them and parking is super easy. If you are looking for something quiet and relaxing this is the place. If you want the mega-resort feel, go somewhere else.

This location was ideal for our 3.5 year old! So close to the beach and the beach had trees that provided shade. There is also I nice reef break that makes the water a little calmer for young kiddos to play. Only suggestion we have is to add an A/C unit... especially in the loft bedroom. It did get quite warm in the afternoons and evenings in the loft. There is a fan and window in the loft to help with airflow but A/C would help!

We had a great time! You can’t beat this view and stepping right out to the beach. The only thing I’d change isn’t even a complaint—I’d have a shower wand in the shower to make it easier to clean sand out of the shower. (I just kept a bowl in there to rinse it.) Corner view and watching the baby whales jump while enjoying breakfast was magical.

Overall great location and the complex with the pool and beach access was phenomenal! Bedroom/bedding was nice. The upstairs obviously wasnt cleaned prior to our arrival. Their was a crumpled sanitary strip from a bathing suit on the floor upstairs and it obviously hadnt been vacuumed. The front door was broken with a missing glass slat so anyone could see in. The garbage disposal was broken on our arrival (although they did offer to fix mid stay, and we declined). They left us with a broken beach chair, 4 trashbags for a week and two rolls of toilet paper. All that is to say, we really enjoyed our stay, but they really embodied the idea of bare minimum/nickel and dime feel that is all too common with VRBOs these days.

The location was great as Kaanapali always has breezes for cooling and this condo has access to both a public beach to the left of the building and a private beach to the right. Also Kaanapali has great infrastructure so no fear of flooding.Grounds and pool are very well maintained by Monday to Friday manager who works those days and on the weekend an onsite owner.Got to see turtles very close up on the beach eating seaweed off the coral, saw monk seal catching and eating fish off shore and lots of whales far off shore.Note if you are looking for peace and quiet this condo may not for you as you get to continually hear the surf and with louvered screed windows open to allow air flow you do hear your neighbors normally generated sounds. Also on the Lanai the wall between you and your neighbor does not extend all the way to the railing (see picture). They do have quiet hours implemented 10PM to 8AM but because of the nature of having the louvered screened windows open in all the units you do hear some noise from your neighbors after 10 but its not bad, just a warning if you are looking for complete quiet and peace then this unit not from you.The cabinets and walls in bathroom could be updated as well worn but all was very clean and easily usable so for the price it was fine.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It has a great view of the ocean, a clean pool, and access to a great beach for the kids. I spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the whales and sunsets.The property wasn't quite ready for us when we checked in, even though we were there way past check-in time. We didn't get access to the wifi and other things because of this. The ceiling fan also broke during our stay, where one of the blades fell off. I would rate this property as excellent if they updated it from the 80s. Valerie the property manager did help us out once the fan broke and she got us the information about the wifi.

To begin, code for door was incorrect and the night number could not help. Found a current tenant who was able to help. No instruction manual telling how to operate the equipment. Electrical problems and other problems that were nagging. Had to call management too many times. Put a pall over vacation

The grounds and pool are well kept. Instructions were clear and helpful. I would definitely stay again!

Overall excellent place. Right on the ocean. We enjoyed doing Yoga in the morning and see the sea turtles come up and tumble in the waves. Close to many near beaches and places. It really was a wonderful get away for us. The fridge was a bit dirty when we arrived. There was also a dead roach in the bathroom upstairs. I guess you get that in tropical areas. I would definitely go here again.

As with all year’s past, This was a wonderful stay. So close to the ocean and pool with spectacular views all day long. All that we could ask for in a Maui Vacation. These units are just feet away from the water without the resort facility feel. I highly recommend these if you’re not looking for the glitz of a fancy resort. Come experience the real feel of Maui.

I enjoy this complex and stay here when I travel to Maui. The complex has everything you need with a laundry, beach access and a pool. I found property management staff to be very responsive and helpful. The unit was clean and furnishings were comfortable and at a good height for those that might have trouble with mobility. I made most of my meals and found the kitchen had all that was needed for such. There was a Roku tv. So I was able to sign on to apps I like to watch. I like the view of the park and ocean from the living room and pool view from the bedroom. The landscaping has been updated too. It’s close to shopping and restaurants. It’s a lovely place to stay!

We could watch the kids in the pool, and the little Beach next door was perfect for early morning and late afternoon swims before or after our adventures. The condo did not have A/C and was very loud at night with the water so close to the house, and there are no window fixtures so the sun comes in early. We loved the condo and would come back.

The location of the Hale Kai Oceanfront Condominiums is fantastic, right on the ocean with a park right next to you. We would like to thank both Valeries who work in the office, they were wonderful. They helped with booking our reservation, staying in contact, providing helpful tips, and being available onsite to answer questions, provide guidance, and help me locate my lost watch. We loved our unit 215. The unit had updated kitchen appliances, bathroom, and the owners did a beautiful job of decorating. David, who maintains the property grounds, does an incredible job keeping it beautiful and appealing. We think of everyone at the Hale Kai as family and we look forward to returning soon.
