We had perfect weather and Maui was just beautiful. Bed was really comfortable. Close to everything!! Condo had everything we needed. We did quite a few adventures and location was perfect

March 2025

Great location. Beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony. Well appointed kitchen and condo. Comfortable bed. One negative was that we had the pickle ball court to the left of our balcony which was quite busy and noisy from 8 am until sunset. Could hear it when windows were open. The other negative was that we didn’t realize that there was a 25 a day charge to use the AC in the unit. It may have been in the small print that I didn’t see. It did get stuffy in the unit especially during the day so we opted to pay the fee.

We had a great stay, the location was perfect with views of the ocean and whales from the patio. It was a very quiet area of town away from all the chaos of the big resorts. I would highly recommend this place to others.

This was a great location, short walk to the beach and beach combing. The pool was really nice, and clean, as well as the hot tub. Family friendly, no problems having children out and about playing, though we had none ourselves with us. Just all around, relaxed, and well run. The grounds were being constantly maintained (in a good way). Sitting out on the porch in the morning before the pool opened was really nice, good size walk-out lanai for each condo. Just had a great time, and would stay here again. The condo was a two bedroom, the loft bedroom was so charming. This was perfect for our party of three, and we didn't feel crowded at all. We could have had another friend or two join with the space and layout. Loved it.

Beautiful condo. Parking was good. Condo complex was quiet even though there was a nice community pool with jacuzzi.The lanai was large and accommodating with a great lawn and ocean view.The only problem is no air conditioning in the downstairs bedroom. Kihei is too warm to not have AC in every bedroom. TV in that same bedroom didn’t work. We would not recommend this unit only because of the bedroom with no Air conditioning. We did not sleep well and it’s WINTER.

One can never tell from pictures if the condo will be what you expect it to be. This far exceeded our expectations. Great location and amazing ocean views. And the unit was updated with new appliances and remodeled surfaces. A

Family of 6 adults and 4 children stayed for 8 days. Overall was the perfect space for us to all be together. Hosts were very good at replying to any questions or requests. The three bedrooms were separated enough to give individual spaces . Condo was very well stocked. Would recommend for other larger groups and would stay at the same unit in the future.

Fantastic view of the ocean!!! Meticulously kept resort and grounds. We felt comfortable and safe. Unit has a modern well equipped kitchen with nice appliances and quartz countertops. Well designed living space with quality wooden decor. Nice additions/upgrades to the property would be new bed linens and blankets (cotton), a laundry drying rack, a safe for valuables and beach chairs and an umbrella to use.

The place was exactly as described and was just what our family of 5 needed for our vacation. The patio was perfect to eat out on! The extras were amazing to have. All your beach needs so you don’t have to rent chairs, cooler etc. The condo had lots of supplies for you to use, example spices for cooking. We would definitely stay again! Trisha was awesome to deal with. Always responded right away if we had questions.

We had a great 17 day stay in this condo. The corner location with views out to the ocean is lovely, probably the best location of all the condos Beautiful sunsets on the beach, whales and turtles swimming off shore.Condo was comfortable with everything we needed. The A/C and washer / dryer were a big plus especially for a longer stay.We would definitely return!

The condo was amazing. It was very clean and had everything we could possibly need. We prepared many meals in the kitchen. The grilling stations were a bonus as well. We found our location central to everything we did on the island. I recommend bringing a pair of binoculars. The whales were very entertaining every morning and evening for us. We will definitely return to this location again!

We had a great stay at Luana Kai. Kihei is a convenient location for visiting all parts of Maui. Luana Kai is close to restaurants and groceries but far enough away from traffic noise. Unit was updated and nicely decorated. Our only problem was a non-working microwave, and it was replaced quickly. Thanks for a relaxing vacation!

What a wonderful condo. The grounds are immaculate, the condo was spotless, the view breathtaking and location central. We had a fabulous experience. The host was easy to reach and clearly explained the check in/out process and what we could expect to find in the condo. The parking was no problem, the proximity to the beach was perfect, and I could not have asked for more! There were bath towels, kitchen supplies, grills at the pool area, washer/dryer, soap and shampoo, a few coffee filters (cone) and enough to make our stay perfectly enjoyable. The beach chairs and cooler that the host provides are in perfect condition. The condo and patio are spacious for the four of us. If you have any questions the host is quick to respond. I highly recommend this property. If I return to Maui there is zero doubt that I will stay anywhere else.

This condo was exactly as listed and as in the pictures! It is a fabulous place with everything you could want in a home away from home. The kitchen is awesome! It has top notch large & small appliances along with every utensil you need to prepare meals. Very clean, inviting, and just like home. Jean, the owner was easy to communicate with and we got to meet her as well. Beautiful views from the lanai; the property is quiet; not far away from anything. It made our first trip to Maui easy & enjoyable. Will definitely be recommending to anyone going to this area in the future!!

We love the Kihei area. The condo over looks a park and the water. Walkable to stores, coffee shops and beach.Condo is nicely furnished with good amenities. Kitchen well equipped. Though we found the dishwasher (seemed relatively new) did not clean the dishes.Our only issue was the bedroom loft was warm at night. We did leave messages with the resort office requesting the A/C be turned on but no response to any of messages. In the end we did without. Overall, an enjoyable holiday.

Very nice place with tasteful design. Beautiful view of the ocean (including whales!) from the deck. Pickleball happening all day right outside your window, so if that bothers you keep that in mind. Also the water was not on when we got there. Called the emergency number and the water came back on. I sent a message through VRBO as they requested but did not get a response. No big deal though because the water was turned back on minutes after calling the emergency number in the folder.

Our stay at the Kihei condominium was fantastic! It has a great beach location, across the lawn from 8 pickleball courts (!), close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc. The condo was spotless, very well-equipped, and comfortable. Tami was very responsive to all communications and generous and caring when we faced an unexpected record rainfall and flash flood during our stay. We would definitely stay here when we return to Maui in the future.

We so much enjoyed our stay in this condo. The host, Trisha, was so quick to reply and respond to any questions and concerns. Check in was seamless and the parking was plentiful. The condo has lovely new kitchen appliances and was well stocked with everything needed…plenty of linens, towels, kitchenware, spices…and the welcome basket of chocolates and popcorn was appreciated. The lovely ocean view from the lanai was a bonus for morning coffees and evening cocktails. Whale, monk seal and turtle sightings were abundant from the beach, and nearby shops and restaurants within walking distance were so convenient. The pool, hot tub and bbq area was clean and never too busy. Thank you for sharing your condo with us, Trisha. Mahalo!

This place was perfect for us! We had four adults and a six month old. The pool and bbq area are very well maintained and so easy to enjoy! We took advantage of the tennis courts and awesome field right outside our door as well as many sunsets on the amazing beach that’s also right next to the property. The condo had everything we needed including a great lanai where we had dinner most nights. Communication with the host couldn’t have been better. Thanks for an awesome time!!

I've stayed in many properties in Kihei and this one is hands-down the best. Great staff and check-in, nice size property, great location, and the unit was just as advertised. I have NO hesitancy in recommending this to anyone and I'll be back!

Bed was very comfortable. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. Bar BQ kept clean by maintenance staff. A/C in the bedroom would vibrate every couple minutes for about 3 seconds but you get used to it and sleep thru it.

Was overly impressed with the look and feel of the property and its location right on the ocean. The fact that the policy was to keep condiments in the fridge is something I wish every rental property would do. It helps people not have to run to the store right after they get there. Love the extra items like beach chairs, and all the things available to us renters.

Our family of 5 stayed for 12 nights. Pictures match exactly reality. Very clean and well stocked with everything you need. Location is ideal within Kihei but also within the condo complex. We can sit on our Lanai and see the pool and the ocean. Kids could go to the pool on their own and you can keep an eye on them while enjoying the view of the ocean. Communication with the on island rep was excellent. Anything we needed they were able to help us with. We will stay here again!!

12 day stay from Christmas until Jan 6 / Nice views/ nice pool This unit is dated & the seating is uncomfortable. The beds were comfortable. A coat of white paint would really liven the place up.

Great location, great condo, great access to the beach. Whales and turtles right outfront. Having no AC isnt too bad with the windows open. Don't forget to support the local farmera market just down the road. We will be back!

Good location, easy drives to all our activities in Maui. Condo was well stocked with everything we needed and close to several grocery and convenience stores. Washer/dryer was nice to have. Easy stroll to beach, lovely sunsets every day. Pool and hot tub were nice to have at end of day. Grills by the pool were nice to have for evening dinners. Would stay here again.

First time in Maui, and loved being right on the beach every day and very centrally located with easy access to everything we wanted to see and do. The condo was clean and in good shape and had plenty of room for a family of four. The property manager was timely and responsive to any questions or needs. Highly recommend.
